Lost Sounds in Mail using POP acct.

Of all the threads I've researched here about losing my Mail sounds none are related to POP accounts. I'm not sure why that makes a difference but every thread addresses IMAP acct. and a solution to this problem. Having a POP acct. I do not have control over the "idle" feature which all these posts refer to so if anyone knows why/how I might have lost all my mail sounds feel free to chime in. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Mail 4.4 on a Macbook Pro. I had all my sounds up until yesterday when they all disappeared.

There are two places for you to check your sound:
First, in Mail, open Preferences (under Mail menu) > General > make sure you have something checked under "new messages sound".
And, check System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects > do you have something chosen there? Then move to "Output" and make sure you have your speakers (internal unless you have external speakers) highlighted.
Hopefully those will get your mail sound back.

Lost sound on mail attachments

I lost sound for mail attachments when I installed Mountain Lion. Have sound for everything else. Any ideas?

Not sure what you mean about sound for an attachment in Mail. However, the sounds in mail are controlled through Mail > Preferences in the menu bar up top. Under the General tab you can control the sounds:

Recent mail from POP acct server is not retained in mail app

In recent weeks (maybe months) iPhone email appears to be acting differently with my POP accounts. All POP accounts keep the mail on the server until deleted on a desktop. I have iPhone mail set to show last 100 emails. Emails are coming in and are usually (not always) shown on all four devices where POP clients download mail - including my iPhone. What has changed is that when an email is more than 100 emails back in the que - even though it is still in desktop Outlook and my MacBook Pro Mail inbox an on the server - it no longer appears in the iPhone inbox, it does not load from the server when I select load more, it cannot be found in an iPhone email search which searches the phone and server. It has simply disappeared from the iPhone email app even though it still exists on the (Yahoo Bizmail) server and in all other POP accounts. This is not the behavior of the Mail App before 6.x, even though all settings are the same including do not remove from server. Anybody else having this problem?

POP will do weird things like this. That's why POP should be avoided if it can. I would contact the email provider to see if they support IMAP. Using POP on device should resolve this issue.
Below is great Apple resource that explains about using POP on multiple devices and how it can cause issues.

Authentication Failed Exception while reading mail using POP

Hi,
I am using POP3 for reading mails from mail id. When I try to read the mail from Microsoft Exchange server 2007, it is a success. But same code is giving "Authentication Failed Exception" with Microsoft Exchange server 2010.
One more difference, I figured out. Microsoft Exchange server 2007 is having NTLM as LoginType and code works fine with it. Where as Microsoft Exchange server 2010 is having TLS as LoginType and code is giving "Authentication Failed Exception".
Line of code which is giving exception is...
store = session.getStore(providerPOP3);
store.connect(host, user, password); //throws exception
Please advice how this code can work with Microsoft Exchange server 2010 having TLS as LoginType.
Regards,

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I am using javamail 1.4.3. My code is working fine with Exchange server 2007 having NTLM.
But when I changed the credentials as per mail id configured on Exchange Server 2010 having TLS support, it did not work. Can you please help what code change would be required to read mails from mail id configured on Exchage Server 2010 having TLS support.
Sorry, if my point seems not understandable as I am as new with these terminologies (mail server and all) as baby with world. :)
Thanks for supprt.

If I click on an e-mail address link in a web page instead of a blank message opening I always get a pop up screen with a log-in for googlemail. I do not have and do not want a googlemail account. I just want to be able to send e-mails using Outlook.

OUtlook was already set as the mail client for FF, and is my operating system (XP)'s default mail programme. therefore problem not solved at all. what I get whenever I follow a link in a webpage to send an e-mail is a little pop up window asking me to sign in to gmail or open an account. any other suggestions?

HT4864 Is there any way to use POP mail with iCloud?

Hi newbie here, so be kind! Just trying to set up iCloud on my new iPad, my iPhone 3G and my oldish Windows PC running Vista. I have managed to get the iPad and iPhone running relatively well, but the real reason I wanted to synch all my devices was because I am buried beneath all the emails that I receive each day and cleaning them off three devices was a real hassle (1st world prob I know). My PC is running Windows mail because I couldn't get Yahoo mail to run on POP or IMAP settings. So I have been happily downloading Yahoo mail (via) POP into Windows mail for a few years now. However I have hit an Apple Support doc saying that I cannot use POP settings in iCloud (if you know what I mean), I have to use IMAP. Can anyone help me with what settings I need to put in Windows Mail to make it sync with the mail client on my phone and iPad?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Gmail and all POP systems are not iCloud mail. iCloud mail ends with @mac, @me or @icloud.com, Gmail and POP systems are not handled by iCloud mail systems.

I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

Advantages of using I Cloud for E Mail over pop

Can you explain the advantages of using ICloud for E Mail over POP?

Using POP Mail With Two Macs?

Is it possible to use two Macs with Apple Mail? I use Mail on my iMac, and I would like to set it up on my PowerBook as well. The only problem is accessing the same mail on both computers. It seems like if I were to open a message, it would store it on the respective computer that I open it with, and I would not be able to access it with the other. Is it possible to set it up where I can see the same messages on both? I use GMail. Thanks.

Like Kappy said, it's a hassle if you are using pop mail. But no problem with imap because the "master" copy is always maintained on the imap server, and your two computers are, essentially, nothing more than mirror sites.
I don't know if GMail is pop or imap.
What you would have to do for a pop account is set up account prefs to leave message on server after downloading on at least one of the computers, if not both of them. If you do that with both, I expect you will be hearing from your pop provider real soon about excessive disk space use. If you only do it to one computer, make sure that it is the one you will always be downloading mail from first. Plus, I can't remember whether that would cause multiple copies to download or not, on subsequent mail checks, when mail is left on server; it has been so long since I have had to play that game with pop servers.
Again, imap is no problem, because imap was designed to address this very problem.

Did IOS8 upgrade w/iPhone5 / lost names associated when using e-mail - only displaying telephone numbers / what are the steps to correct to show names?

maybe OP want to extract all numbers from his inbox using regular expressions?

After HD crash and reload of both Gmail and Thunderbird using POP mail as before now, randomly some messages on the Gmail server do not move to Thunderbird.

I think it's all said above. Always have used POP mail for moving my Gmail to Thunderbird and it worked flawlessly. Now seemingly random emails rec'd into Gmail server do not move to Thunderbird. Most do, some don't and it seems so random.
I've checked every setting I know of and matched it exactly to the setup I have on another computer set up with the same POP mail/thunderbird setup, which continues to work flawlessly.
Any explanation other than switching to IMAP which I do NOT want to do?

Thanks is advance.

I think I found the solution christ1. I found some help using Thunderbird's Help function and I think the problem was the Google user name I entered while creating the account in Thunderbird. Somehow the user name I entered was just the first part of my Google email address without the @gmail.com. After adding that the problem ceased to occur. I have no idea how/why, but since I did it there has been no more problem. Thanks for your reply.

Cant use POP with mac mail from yahoo

everytime i try and set up my POP account from yahoo into my mac mail, it says the server isnt responding. tried it weeks ago and now today. my trial of .macs expiring soon and i need to import my email onto my desktop. anyone know how to make it work???

I'm having the same problem. Have been running Mac Mail for several months using POP with Yahoo without any issue at all. In just the last day though I haven't been receiving any inbound mail, but I can send outbound. I've called Yahoo and they say they don't support Mac Mail. They've tried to help, in fact found one setting at their end that was off, but they don't have the tools to troubleshoot Mac issues very well. I suspect it's a problem at Yahoo because I have two other non-Yahoo accounts that are coming in through Mac Mail just fine. So I'm going to call them back and see if they can find anything else.

Multiple POP/SMTP Accounts Bug - Mail uses wrong 'from' address

I've be scratching my head over this but can't see anything else wrong so I figure it must be a bug with Mail 4.2:
I have multiple POP3/SMTP accounts configured, lets say:
[email protected], to receive on pop.blah1.com and send on smtp.blah1.com
[email protected], to receive on pop.blah2.com and send on smtp.blah2.com
If I create emails sourced from [email protected], they are sent just fine.
However if I try to email from [email protected], I get a pop-up telling me that smtp.blah2.com is offline and I need to select another SMTP server.
I checked the server settings a hundred times over and also resorted to telnetting to port 25 of blah2.com to ensure it was full working (yes it was!).
[Even Connection Doctor thinks the servers are all good]
So next I try telling emails sourced from [email protected] to send via smtp.blah1.com - Eureka, it works!
But this is a little odd - so I check the received email headers and compare these with the 'Sent' header.
It appears that mail thinks its sending the email from [email protected] but the email actually ends up being sourced from [email protected]!
So I can only presume that Mail is marking the smtp.blah2.com server as down because it is trying to use the wrong source address when sending a message and therefore being refused by the SMTP relay.
Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks chaps,
The other accounts are direct POP3/SMTP to my hosted servers - they are not passing through GMail and so it couldn't cause the issue.
I have, however, found the problem inadvertently while trying to run a comparison with Thunderbird - the good news is, its not Mail as such, though it does raise a couple of other questions...
Basically, whichever SMTP server is running on my hosted servers, it does not allow a message with no text in the body, while Google's SMTP implementation clearly does.
As my test messages only had a subject line, they were failing on my servers but working OK with GMail.
The questions therefore are:
1. Shouldn't Mail pad an empty message to ensure it goes (MS Outlook works fine with empty messages but interestingly Thunderbird also doesn't)
2. Even assuming its OK to use GMail's SMTP as a relay, shouldn't Mail use the correct source address rather than making it look like the emails came from my GMail account?
- I'm not sure if this is 'allowed' with modern SMTP from a security perspective but I think that some services support it.
Thanks for all your input!
J
