Issues between mac mail and iCloud

iMac mid-2011 2.7 i5 10.8.2
Approximately one week ago the application Mail began displaying the "Welcome to Mail" window prompting me for Full Name, Email Address and Password. Prior to this, my me.com and icloud.com emails were working with the application well.
At the same time, my finder began prompting for administrative password to alter (delete) any documents contained within the finder window. 
Fearing that my ymail.com email was somehow attempting to connect to my mail application on the mac, I have since activated a gmail account and changed all programs, websites, profiles and information to the new gmail address, thereby removing my ymail.com address (it does not sync with the mail application unless one pays $20/year for premium services, which I do not.)
I have changed my email information through apple's "manage your ID" webpage.
I have signed out of the app store, itunes, and the mac's icloud and signed in again. The mail application still displays this window.
I have attempted to add my icloud account to iphoto and mail's preferences.  The information activates and my emails begin to download.  After a few minutes, all of the emails vanish with all signs of my gmail, and icloud email accounts. 
I have also used the "get info" function to delete and add my permissions to include read and write.  I have applied the changes.  We have two user accounts on the same imac, both with administrative permissions.
I did not change any settings, download any applications, or updates, except for the ios 6 update for my phone on Monday 2-4.  I had plugged the phone in to complete a sync several days ago.
I am currently at a loss.  All applications and devices were working well prior to last week. If more information or clarification is necassary, I will do my best. This has been an extremely exhausting week researching what is going on to no avail. I do not understand why my computer is suddenly falling apart.
Thank you in advance.

  • Synching between Mac Mail and iCloud Mail

    When I recieve messages to my @me.com account on my Mac, I don't recive them when I log into icloud.com website. All my sent emails from the Mac Mail DO show up in both places (Mac Mail and iCloud).
    My iOS devices don't have this problem. Any one have an explanation or what I'm misconfiguring?  I had the same problem with Lion as I am with Mountain Lion
    It is configured for IMAP
    TIA

  • Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone?

    Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone? ie. I get an email on my iphone but I also read it and store it On My Mac folders.  Is there a way this can be set up 'same' on my iphone...then I would only need to read my mail one place? Same as my iPad...I'm tired of doing the same step 3 times ONLY because my folders are only on my MAC

    IMAP is a mail protocol. Your email provider must support it (most regular ISPs do not). If your mail provider supports IMAP then when you create an account on the iPhone choose "IMAP" when prompted. You cannot convert a POP3 account to IMAP; you must delete it and re-create it. But first check to see if your provider supports it. Microsoft Exchange works similarly to IMAP, but has the added feature of "pushing" mail to your phone within seconds of it being received.
    With IMAP and Exchange the master copy of all mail remains on the server until deleted. Your computer(s) and iPhone sync with the server, so all of your devices will show the same messages. When you delete from one the message will be removed from all with the next sync (or immediately for Exchange).

  • How to disable syncing between .Mac mail and Mail.app?

    Howdy everyone,
    I'm trying to get my wife's 'new' (aka hand-me-down) 12" PowerBook set up the way she likes it. She uses .Mac Mail, and mostly uses the webmail portion, rather than the Mail.app. Anyway, she's presented me with a question that's stumped me - she wants it set up so that when she deletes a message from .Mac webmail, it stays in her Mail.app Inbox, and vice-versa. I guess you could say that she wants Mail.app to retrieve the messages from .Mac, but doesn't want their mailboxes synced.
    Any ideas? I'd fiddled with the settings but can't make it work that way. I have a strong feeling that its right in front of me, but I just can't see it...
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks,
    Huxley

    A .Mac type account with the Mail.app is really an IMAP type account and behaves in the same way.
    Personal preference but FYI, webmail access is primarily designed when away from your computer and email client needing to access your email account when using a computer with internet access that is not your own.
    For what your wife wants, she needs to access her .Mac account as a POP type account with the Mail.app. You can access a .Mac account as a .Mac, IMAP or POP type account with the Mail.app and as an IMAP or POP type account with other email clients.
    This will require deleting and recreating the account in Mail selecting POP as the account type when the account is recreated.
    All messages that remain on the server will not be affected by this but any messages sent by the account with the Mail.app that are not stored on the server will be deleted when deleting the account in Mail.
    If there are any messages in the account's Sent mailbox that need to be saved, transfer all messages from the account's Sent mailbox to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox before deleting and re-creating the account.
    After re-creating the account in Mail as a POP type account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences is a setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded. This should not be selected so no messages will be removed/deleted from the server when downloaded by Mail.
    Deleting a message from the server via webmail access for the account will have no effect on messages already downloaded from the server by Mail.

  • Is there a known issue with Mac Mail and adding Yahoo! email accounts?

    My Mac Mail application already as one account it in - my iCloud account.  It works just fine.  Every time I add a second account - Yahoo! (automatic setup), the account is created fine with all fields populate correctly, but after a few seconds the account and all it's contents disappears.  Just as if I had manually deleted it myself.  I did many tests, and sometimes the account stays, and sometimes it disappears.  I'm not accidentally hitting a '-' or 'remove' or 'erase' or 'delete' buttons.
    Mail Version 7.3 (1878.2)

    Check Console.app (Applications > Utilities) for any mail-related errors getting logged, when the newly-added account vaporizes.
    Try configuring the Yahoo! connection manually; set the smtp and pop settings explicitly?
    Yahoo is also reporting some connectivity outages today, due to a cable cut.  That's probably not related to this, but it might cause problems.
    FWIW, OS X 10.9.4 has Mail.app Version 7.3 (1878.6).  Might see if that upgrade helps here, too.
    If Mail.app is crashing, try configuring Mail.app in a completely separate (new) login — see if there's something in the saved mail preferences that's corrupted.

  • Synchronisation issue between MacOS Yosemite and iCloud

    Good day,
    I cannot get my contacts running on MacAir/MACOS Yosemite synchronized with iCloud nor with my iphone.
    Thank you for your assistance.
    Chris

    But Is there an option to retain copies of the files that have been stored on iCloud?   I don't want to delete them.   Later, when I connect back to iCloud drive, if I have made any changes on any of these files on my Mac and they are newer than the version up on iCloud drive, it will automatically "sync up".....
    Thanks again,

  • HT204150 Syncing issues between Iphone 3G and Icloud

    I have a IPhone3G which has 127 contacts I go to my Icloud has 61.  How do I merge all my contacts from my IPhone to the ICloud and transfer all contacts back so they are indeed synced ?
    I want to do this will will all my other devices as well.  My wife's Iphone 3G and our Ipad 2.   So, I am thinking it would be best to sync all the contacts to the Icloud and edit them there, create groups and load back to the various devices.   Sounds simple doesn't it ?   I hope!
    My desktop is a Lenovo with Windows 7 64 bits.

    No - the syncing process for contact info is a bidirectional or true sync process. There is no setting for not transferring or syncing contacts with an email address only. If you don't want these contacts with an email address only on your iPhone, delete the contacts from the address book used by OE.

  • Conflict between program Mac mail and program Microsoft Outlook e-mail???

    Denmark, Kolding, 30th of September 2010
    A conflict between program Mac mail and program Microsoft Outlook e-mail?
    For several months tried to discuss and resolve with several Apple specialists/support, but without much luck.
    Therefore I have discussed these issues with 2 different and independent Mac users to find out in testing other Mac users will have the same problems as outlined in the below mentioned situations.
    I will therefore outline the coverage issues, as mentioned, including occurs on my iMac 21.5 " with serial number: <Edited by Host> and 2 friends with their Macbooks of new dates as follows:
    1. Sending from my Mac plain mail as "plain text "(during formatting):
    Plain text mail as "Plain Text "(during formatting) Verdana font size 10, sent and received on Windows PC with the correct letter size - but with the font changed to Century Gothic!!!
    2. Sending from my Mac plain mail "formatted text" (during formatting):
    Eg. with my signature/signature-colored types and Verdana as font and size 10, possibly with underlining and italics in the text dispatched - the mail received as text with New Times Roman size 12 and signing /signature color Verdana now in size 13.5!!!!
    3. Sending plain mail "as normal text "(during formatting)
    In the mail text underlined and made bold - the program asks whether to convert to RTF format (to keep underlining, bold, etc.) and Verdana as font and size 10, YES - this mail is received on the Windows PC as text with New Times Roman with the desired underlining and bold text and size 12!!!!
    4. Plain text mail as "formatted Text"
    Eg. with signature / signature-colored types and Verdana as font and size 10, possibly with underlining and italics in the text sent - received as text with New Times Roman and signing / signature as colored Verdana now in size 13.5!!!
    5. Sending mail with file attached:
    After producing a normal text document modified to PDF and directly from the Adobe Reader sent this PDF file in e-mail formatted as normal text with font Verdana 10 point, with signature. This is received on the Windows PC with a PDF file OK, but the font of the mail text is changed to Century Gothic and missing signature. Signature is available as an attachment on the Windows Outlook e-mail program as a ATT00113.text file. This can be opened and there is the missing signature!
    6. Sending e-mail with photos directly from iPhoto
    iPhoto opens and click on the desired photos eg. 5 pcs. (Exactly as mentioned in the demo video!) and click on the e-mail icon at iPhoto and the program opens and e-mail that is opened with the attached photos and rich text is being used in the mail. Signature disappears and must be clicked on the mail by the sender.
    The mail is received with the attached pictures OK - text changed to Times Roman with the desired bold - though no signature and 5 pcs. Att0028.html files attached. These can be opened and contains the file number each picture!
    The above problems can be partly avoided by the following:
    1. Only send mails as plain text
    Without any underlining, attachments, etc.. When the Windows PC Outlook receiver opens the mail where only the text fond is changed!!
    2. Sending mail with attached file
    Start opening the mail program and use formatted plain text first and then attach (with the staple) file, and the Window receiver will get the file, but text and signature changed to Times New Roman size 13!!
    3. Sending mail with photos from iPhoto
    Start by opening mail program text in Verdana 10 and click the Photo Browser and find (look for - takes its time!) the pictures you want to send and pull/drag them into the mail and send, - images, text and signature are in the mail on Windows PC - but with the font changed to Century Gothic!!!
    If sent as formatted text with various underlining, italics, etc. together with the photos will be received OK - but the writing is now New Times Roman size 12 signatures Verdana now in size 13!!!
    I must say – I am disappointed with the Mac mail program – it actually means that sending a perfect mail with underlining, colours, a.s.o. also photos directly from iPhoto – will received at a Windows computer in a totally mess.
    Looking forward to some good news from either Mac supporter or some clever Mac users who can help me to adjust my Mac to avoid these problems IF POSSIBLE!!!!.
    Apple/Mac is too good a product to make these problems!!
    Best regards
    Peter Larsen

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The PC sets the font on its side, the Mac does on its side for plain text. There is no "font size" in plain text coding. Rich Text gives you a bit more control, but only if both e-mail clients support it. HTML gives you a bit more control, but only if both e-mail clients support it. Use the asterisk, parenthesis, underscore, or any keyboard symbol that is part of the original ASCII. Otherwise, the chance is nobody else will be able to read it who does not have your e-mail client in the same version.
    Sadly there are no e-mail standards except MIME for attachment, and even that isn't universally supported. E-mail is not the ideal medium for anything except plain text that is ASCII. To learn more about ASCII, see:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII
    If you want to post a website that is universally understood, see the hints here:

    How do I change my Full Name on my mail account? I want to change from John Francis Woods to Francis Woods on all my .mac, .me and .iCloud mails.

    I have asked the hosts to consider editing out your name details for your own security.   I'm not sure what you should now do.    Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'

  • Email Reconcile not working with mac mail and tiscali.

    hi, I have had problems with emails not deleteing on either email accounts. I have had the local Carphone staff look at it, who have gone through the phone and applied the fixes you have suggested on your tech pages.
    Please advise as this is becoming really frustrating deleting emails twice on laptop then on the phone!
    Regards
    j

    Hi and Welcome to the (user-to-user) Community!
    Please refer to this:
    KB05133 Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    All reconciliation is between your BB and your email server, as governed by that KB (coupled with being configured correctly). I don't know where "mac mail and tiscali" fit into that, but that KB governs what should or should not work.
    On the other hand, if the issue is another email client (on your laptop, for instance), then that's governed by whatever the capabilities are between your laptop email client and your email server. Many cannot handle full reconciliation with the server, but you would have to contact whoever provided the email client to know for sure. There is zero reconciliation directly between your BB and your other email client.
    Hope that helps! Good luck and let us know!

  • Routing issue between Cisco Nexus and Cisco 4510 R+E Chassis

    We have configured Cisco Nexus 7K9 as core and Cisco 4510 R+E as access switches for Server connectivity.
    We are experiencing problem in terms of ARP learning and Ping issues between Cisco Nexus and end hosts.

    Hi,
    So you have N7k acting as L3 with servers connected to 4510?.
    Do you see the MAC associated with failing ARP in 4510?. Is it happening with all or few servers?. Just to verify if it is connectivity issue between N7k and 4510, you can configure an SVI on 4510 and assign address from same raneg (server/core range) and perform a ping.
    This will help narrow down if issue is between server to 4510 or 4510 to N7k.
    Thanks,
    Nagendra

  • Can I seamlessly toggle Apple TV between Mac Mini and Iphone / iPad?

    I am having a Mac Mini, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. Currently i am using 2 HDMI cables 1 between TV and Mac Mini and 2nd between TV and Apple TV. Seems like If i toggle between iPad / iPhone display via apple TV and Mac Mini display via apple TV; it becomes an issue.

    Seems like If i toggle between iPad / iPhone display via apple TV and Mac Mini display via apple TV;
    Toggle how?  What are you doing?  Why do you have the MacMini connected to the TV?  That is the whole point of AppleTV.  It is a simple way ( in therory ) to get your content to your TV without having to plug your computer in to your TV.
    it becomes an issue.
    What does?  What is the issue?  What specifically fails or does not work?

  • Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.

    Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.
    We have hundreds of WRP400 connected with Mac (Machintosh) computers. No special configurations are applied (no virtual server or DMZ). Web navigation, P2P programs and sending mail without attachment work right.
    The problem is the impossibility to send mails with medium or big size files attachment from MAC Mail.
    If we use Windows PCs or a different linksys routers (eg. WRT54G) the problem not happens.
    We have upgraded WRP400 firmware version from 1.00.06 to 2.00.05 but the result is the same. Sending mail with attachment using Mac fails.
    We tried to configure WRP400 with DMZ to a particular MAC. We tried to configure Virtual server on tcp 25 port of a MAC. The result is always the same.
    This is a WRP400 bug? Windows PCs work right. MAC and MAC mail works right with other linksys router.
    We need help. Thanks.

    The problem was fixed since beta firmware 2.00.11.
    I think that this issue was caused from a bug that decrease upload bitrate of WRP400 after some days of activity.
    See more details on Cisco forum under title "WRP400 stops responding after browsing certain websites".
    Thanks.
