ISA Server, mail.app / mobileme

Is there anyway possible to get OSX working properly behind my works network, which uses ISA Server.
MobileMe will not sync, Apple Mail app will not connect to IMAP... to name a few, but those are the most important to me.
Stuff like Software Update works.
Any suggestions?

Hmmm, not sure what is going on, but from the Mail log, neither of those IPs have a name associated with them, 1st one is in Netherlands, 2nd one is iin Africa!???
Any idea why it'd be looking those up?

OSX Lion Server / Mail.app with FB

Hi - I have an OSX mac mini i7 Lion Server 10.7.4 running mail server. I am getting emails from gmails but apparently, it is not getting email from Facebook registration. I tried many times but no facebook registration comes in. I tried sending email from a gmail account to my the same username and I get all of them. But, from facebook, say registering from facebook, it is not getting any. User is setup correct in osx users as well as in mail server users.
I went to mail.app and deleted the mail cache, remove the filters for spams and all that. But I still do not get FB email confirmation. What could be the reason.
This is what I get on my message log.

TS2998 mini mac server Mail App keeps freezing for all users.

not an email or password or ISP problem, an issue with the machine.
mini mac server late 2011
moountian lion operating system.
all was ok until about a month ago when this issue develops.
cant investigate because the program freezes, but only on this machine
any ideas?

FWIW I've been struggling with this for a long time across many computers. Almost reliably when I look at my aggregate Inbox I see messages including new messages in my Exchange account's inbox, but when I click on the Exchange Inbox I would see nothing. Then I would have to quit and restart Mail and the box would show up.
Irregularly I would also occasionally get into a situation where all new messages received in the Exchange account would show no content when selected. When this happened in the past I would have to go through a separate webmail interface to read them.
This week I experienced a new wonder where the account was online and appeared to Synchronize OK, but I stopped getting new messages. Reboot, offline/online, disable/enable account: none of these fixed it.
Finally I just found a workaround: by modifying the account to store no messages on the computer, and then restarting mail, it was forced to ask the server for the messages again. Minutes of synching later and I'm back up to speed. I've turned local message storage back on again, because I doubt I can live without it, but it might help solve someone else's problems.

Mail.app stopped working over IMAP to exchange 2003 server

Hi Peoples,
I'm posting this as a problem with the solution simply because of the absolute bizarre behavior that I observed....
PROBLEM
On Thursday night, without me having made any changes to either my mac or my exchange server, mail.app just stopped working. The problem was like many I've read about on various forums including this one but none of the solutions worked. Basically the problem was that the server would no longer authenticate mail.app's connection attempts. It failed both plain text and SSL with both NTLM and password style authentication. IMAP from a PC was still working OK (I keep this around for testing). So I tried the following...
Removed all the relevant keychain entries - no go
Removed the entire login keychain - no go
Removed & reconfigured the exchange account config from mail.app - no go
Removed the entire config from mail.app (i.e. removed ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist ) - bop-bong still no go
created a new IMAP service in exchange in case something was screwed there - no go
created a new user in exchange and tried that user - still no go
sledge hammer approach - reinstalled OS X - no go
48+ hours later... Getting very frustrated by now... scratching head...
SOLUTION
OK (should have done this much earlier and saved much pain), time to install another IMAP client on the mac and see what happens.... installed Thunderbird and low and behold it worked first go with and without SSL - hmmm
Restarted mail.app and reconfigured to use same settings as thunderbird (SSL with password authentication - no NTLM)
What the????? Now it all works again....
I cannot for the life of me figure out why this happened, and why only mail.app was affected. Obviously, something went screwy on the Exchange server and caused mail.app to have a coronary. Whatever it was, other IMAP clients seemed to be able to handle it. Was it the install and subsequent use of thunderbird that fixed it - I hope not but who knows...
Think I'll be keep thunderbird installed in case it happens again... very, very, very strange.
Anyways... hope this helps if anyone else experiences such unexplainable weirdness.
Cheers - I'm going to have Chardy on the balcony and think about something else.

Just thought I'd update with the latest... This problem happened again this morning and again, the only way to fix it was to connect from the mac with another IMAP client (I used Thunderbird again) and immediately the problem was fixed.
Need to do some detailed network analysis here to see exactly what's going on but it's definitely a case of mail.app not playing nicely with Exchange (or vice versa).
Cheers, time for a JD

Mavericks Mail app and Gmail Drafts folder

After installing Mavericks I'm unable to unselect "Store draft messages on the server" and "Store sent messages on the server" checkboxes under my Gmail accounts settings. Unselecting both checkboxes and saving settings works for up to a minute or so - after that the check marks re-appear again by themselves. As a result I end up with dozens of half-finished drafts in the Trash folder after I finish the original and send it out.
I used to have both checkboxes unselected prior to Mavericks, and everything was working fine.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I have also the same issue. I'm not able to unselect "Store draft messages on the server"
Mail app just puts this tick back.

HT5330 Can't delete MobileMe from Mail app on iMac. Won't accept password.

Mail.app crashing our IMAP Server

Hi,
since upgrading my MacBook Pro from Tiger to Leopard, Mail.app is constantly crashing the IMAP process of our mail server (Ipswitch iMail).
-POP access to this server works fine,
-IMAP access to other servers (GMail, MobileMe) also works fine.
-Recreating the IMAP accounts under my user account doesn't help.
-When I setup the same IMAP accounts under a different user account on the same machine, the problem is gone, so it must be related to something in ~/Library.
-Other users that upgraded their machines from Tiger to Leopard don't have this problem.
I configured our firewall to log IMAP access to our mail server. There I can see, that my machine is flooding the server with connections on the IMAP port, obviously crashing the process on the mail server.
I looked into com.apple.mail.plist using Property List Editor, but couldn't find any obvious entries. I'm getting out of ideas. I've no problem in recreating all accounts, but I really don't want to loose the E-Mails and keeping the rules would also be a big plus...
Thanks for your help,
Timo

Hi Timo,
I'm afraid you won't like the answer. I found that Leopard's Mail, as far as IMAP was concerned, was worse than Tiger's Mail but that Apple's Mail of any Mac OS X vintage was a real productivity black hole whenever I connected to IMAP.
I've recently been using Postbox for IMAP and though there's a few things visually not as nice I'm at least not wasting hours a day/week waiting for the beachball of death to stop playing games with me.
The catalyst for me was coming back from holidays and literally wasting 2.5 hours trying to read basic emails with Mail.app. I've reported all of this to Apple via radar for a few years now and they close the issues as 'known issue'. Sorry. I feel your pain!

Mail App stuck on checking for incoming MobileMe messages

Hi
Something strange happened to my MobileMe mail account this morning. I was testing out emailing myself some photos from my iPad and a couple of messages came through from [email protected] stating that the delivery had failed.
Since then Mail has been stuck on looking for incoming messages on my Mail account, with a spinning wheel next to the MobileMe inbox. A couple of times it has downloaded new messages, but then the spinning wheel comes back. Eventually, after 10-15 minutes, the Mail App stops responding and I need to Force Quit the App, and start it again, when the problem re-emerges.
I have tried restarting my Mac but this doesn't cure the problem. My mail is still downloading to my iPad OK, so I presume that the issue is to do with the Mail app on my Mac rather than MobileMe server.
I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas as to what I can try to fix this issue.
Thanks
Nick

Nick,
In Mail, are you able to control-click on the Inbox of the MobileMe account and choose Get Account Info?
Next time you launch, hold down the Shift key while doing so -- any change?
Also, have you selected to use the IDLE Command?

MobileMe Drafts to Mail App

When I setup my mail account it doesn't import my drafts from my online mobileme email. How can I get the contents of that drafts folder into my Mail App Drafts folder?
Thanks!

If the account is setup as an IMAP connection, it should sync the drafts also... Make sure it is setup that way.
Another thing you can try is to save a draft in your computer (make sure the settings in the mailbox actions tab in the preferences / accounts menu have save "save drafts in remote server" checked), and then go online and see were these messages are saved. After that, put them all in "one basket", and see if they are synced to the Mail App.
Hope it helps!

Cannot send email with Mail app-..can't connect to AOL server anymore??

Up until today my MAIL app in my iMac let me use an email address that is from the AOL.com group (netscape.net)…I cannot send emails now because I can't get the computer to connect to the server. My iPad will….but not the desktop. I tried using a different server name; smtp.nestcape.net, which is the one I used in the iPad…but the iMac won't let me change it to that one..so back to the old smtp.aol.com……Still my MAIL app is not recognizing this or letting me connect!?!. I tried creating a new password at the wedpage of that email account.. successfully..but it has made no difference. I am stumped and have wasted half the day trying to deal with this. Anyone else have such an experience? HELP…PLEASE!

Thank you Eric for sending the links. Fortunately after I wrote this post…I don't know what happened but I filled in my mail preference settings for the umteenth time with my new email password and voila! It worked. For some reason however…now when I open the Mail App I do still get a prompt asking me if I want to use this server….and it is, of course, the one and only I have listed.!?!?! The thing that irritates me…is…that I had done NOTHING to cause a problem to begin with. I think my email account at aol (nestcape) may have been hacked and my password stolen or compromised in some way??...and perhaps that caused a glitch in my mail app??? I am no techy, but I should have started out with my intuition and changed the password first before going mental….When something like this happens it makes one feel so vulnerable.…I usually feel well secured with my lone iMac and now my new iPad…ANYWAY…thank tyou for addressing my issue and I have bookmarked those links…for future reference which I hope I never need. Hey..is that your kitty??? She is beeeooootiful!
Take care and again, thanx~ D

Mac Mail.app V.2.0.5 with OSX server's email don't play well sometimes

I have my own web, FTP, and email server. (OSX 10.4.4 Server). I've been managing my own server services since AppleShare V.6 .So I've done this a few times. I have set up an account for myself "nino" on the server that people email to, you know "[email protected]".
On my laptop I have Mac Mail.app set to log onto my server, via the internet, and to get and send emails. Sounds pretty normal right? Yep, it is except four or five times since I updated the server to 10.4.4., last December, Mac Mail.app simply stops receiving email from my account. Now I'm a pretty busy guy and email is my main source of communications. Plus get a healthy amount of junk mail. So I hear that familiar beep at least twice an hour - usually a lot more. I can always when this tell when this anomaly happens when two hours go by without something arriving in Mac Mail.app.
The catch here is the server is still accepting mail for my account. I can go to web mail, which I have set-up and working fine, and new emails are there! Mac Mail.app simple stops accepting them.
I have tried:
restarting both machines
changing the password to my account, on both machines
actually deleting my account from Mac Mail.app, restarting and creating my account again
Nada.... I can see emails adding up in web mail....grrrrrr.
The only way I know to resolve this is to, gulp, delete my account on the Server and set it up again. This seems to work but unless I've answered messages in web mail their gone! Poof. I do like to keep good records by saving and organizing business related emails. So when this happens I'm screwed.
Any thoughts?

Mail.app sending sent items to the wrong folder on server

In Mail.app, I have the following checked:
"Store sent messages on the server" (which copies messages to "Sent Messages" on the server)
"Store deleted messages on the server" checked (which copies messages to "Deleted Messages" on the server)
But when I use my webmail, it uses "Sent Items" and "Deleted Items" for sent and deleted files.
How do I set Mail.app to use the correct folders?

this is because Mail creates its own Sent and Trash folders on the server by default. they are called "Sent Messages" and "Deleted messages". a webmail server might have different default mailboxes for that. yours apparently uses "Sent Items" and "Deleted Items". You can tell Mail to use the same mailboxes as Webmail does as follows. select "Sent Items' mailbox in the imap section of your email account in the lower part of the sidebar in Mail. then go to Mailbox menu->use this mailbox for->Sent. do the same with "Deleted Items".

IMAP option to not delete from server OR recommend alternate mail app?

Using POP in Windows computer and IMAP on iphone.
In the iphone, POP has the opton to "delete from server: never"
There seems no way to accomplish this in the stock mail app when using IMAP ?
Using POP on the iphone is not an option due to the longstanding issue of the Apple mail apps not sending a proper termination signal back. The mailbox remains locked until the server times it out for inactivity and cleans up the stale lock after 10 minutes. The result is "wrong password" on the computer if it then tries to retrieve during that period. It's a feature of POP by design to use a lock to prevent corruption caused by simultaneous access to the mailbox. BUT, BB,Android,Windows all handle this correctly so that their POP transaction (and the mailbox lock) only lasts seconds! Only ever see this persistent lock with Apple mail clients
The user likes to keep his phone inbox clean, he will delete messages as he deals with them as well as messages he is postponing to deal with on computer later.
Moving messages to a 'later' folder won't help, as that 'later' folder will not be available thru POP (for the computer)
They also don't want to use IMAP on the computer because they don't want their communications stored on the server any longer than necessary.
Can anyone recommend:
- Windows IMAP client which downloads all and keeps a local copy of inbox which does not synch with server inbox.
- Alternate mail app for iphone which allows "delete from device only // never delete from server "

That's not how IMAP works. If you want to keep the inbox clean, but not delete the messages, create folders and move the messages into them for later review.

Mail.app not retrieving new messages from Exchange Server

I used to use mail.app for my work email account, set up as Exchange IMAP. After upgrading to SL, I wanted to take advantage of the new exchange features, and set up an exchange account.
But now, multiple times a day, the new exchange account will just sit there, trying to fetch new mail (the spinning wheel thing in the left side menu bar). I've gone hours w/o noticing the problem, only realizing this when I check my iPhone and see dozens of new messages. Restarting fixes the problem.
Anyone else having this issue?

michellzappa,
All of my e-mail providers have some sort of web based access for my accounts. They identify, segregate and prevent any message marked as bounce from being downloaded to my inbox. Is this what you are describing as redundant?
Mail Scripts 2.7.10 by Andreas Amann, provides an excellent compilation of mail scripts.
I would advise that you create a new post with the title. "Can I write an applescript to automatically clean out messages on server every hour?" in the AppleScript Forum.

How can I disable my MobileMe account as sender in the iOS Mail app?

Ever since I logged on to iCloud in OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.0, 10.8.1), I've noticed that in Gmail (using the Mail app for iOS), on my iPhone running iOS 5.1.1, the sender appears to be my MobileMe account (an account I had to use a while back when I first got started using iCloud, but haven't actually used).
Besides flooding my iCloud account mail information with sent mail and the fact that I don't want people associating my email address with the wrong address, it's very annoying that when I choose my regular Gmail address as the sender mail, the next time I send an email, the MobileMe address is the default address yet again.
The problem persists even though I have:
Disabled the iCloud email account (@me.com) in the Mail app in OS X Mountain Lion (the OS in which, by all accounts—no pun intended—it all started).
Disabled iCloud to use and sync Mail.
This is the settings for Gmail in Mountain Lion, in which disabling Mail and the MobileMe account for use, should be the only email address associated with my iCloud account (excepts it obviously isn't as MobileMe is tied to my AppleID for whatever purpose Apple saw fit back in the day):
I saw a thread here discussing the posibility of deleting the iCloud account on the iPhone, powering it off and then, when powered back on, simply signing in again with iCloud. I'm nor sure this is a "solution" as much as a way around something I cannot understand is happening in spite of the changed I have made already.
Surely, someone must be able to tell me what I can do to simply not have my @me.com email address set to the default From address in Mail in iOS. Other than that, I have no real problem with the @me email address being used, at all.
It's just so annyoing when trying to send a quick reply to a colleague or something.
Please discuss below.

I feel funny replying to myself; I cannot remove this discussion and at any rate, I guess if someone else has this problem, they'll be pleased it has not been deleted.
So, I managed to fix this all on my own. Obviously the difficulty-level is about as low as it gets:
After updating to iOS 6 last night, I was playing around in the settings of my phone, when I came across this, the iCloud for Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calandars > Accounts > iCloud:
All I had to do was to turn Mail off. This leaves the Cc/Bcc, From field empty in my phone's Mail app--just the way I wanted it!
