Mac Mail Error Message: 4.0.0 You have exceeded 400 recipients

Once in awhile, I cannot send emails. The error message I receive is the following:
4.0.0 You have exceeded 400 recipients in the last 24 hours. Please try later. I called Verizon, my internet provider and they couldn't help me. I called Apple and they said there was nothing they could do to help me--that I needed to get help on-line.
It appears that I am getting this because I have been marked as a spammer for some reason. I do not send emails out to more than 6-10 people at a time--and am not spamming. The results are that I cannot send emails for about a day at a time, however I still receive emails. Has anyone else had this experience?

Welcome to the discussions, cad747.
No, it is a standard message sent to anyone that has sent over the limit, so if you genuinely haven't sent that many (which could be one message to 400 people, 400 messages each to a single person, or any combination you choose, in any 24-hour period) then you have to consider the possibility that someone else is using your .mac mail.
I don't use .mac, so cant help specifically. Try browsing the .mac forums (Apple - Support - Discussions - .Mac) and see if it is possible to obtain a log or if anyone is posting similar problems - or post there yourself.

Mac Mail Error Message Too Long

Trying to send numerous emails from address book via mac mail. there's an error saying 'can't send message using server.' then it lists all of the email addresses, which are very long. It actually goes off of the screen and freezes, not allowing me to delete nor move it. What to do?

The problem I'm having is the offending message has frozen the Mail application not allowing me to quit the app. I supposed I can force quit, but my understanding is that has negative effects on the OS over time. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

I could do this before installing Maverick but cannot do it now.It is nice and convenient how Mac OS X Mail displays messages semi-automatically when you just select them. But wouldn't a bigger view of the mailbox be useful sometimes? Yes, and it's easier

Yes, and it's easier to get than you maybe think.

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

Undeliverable mail - error message

When I try to send mail, I get an Undeliverable mail error message/response. I don't know if it makes a difference if I select the me.com or mac.com as my outgoing server. I also work at a university, but I don't think that should be a problem since this just surfaced today. I've posted some additional technical details below. Has anyone else experienced this problem recently?
Error message details:
SMTP module(domain mac.com) reports:
host smtp-mx2.mac.com says:
550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias
Reporting-MTA: dns; regor.[myuniversity].edu

First of all test the other mail host. Do nslookup on the mx record for the domain. Maybe also check it from somewhere else on the internet to make sure your dns server doesnt still have an old entry cached. Once you know dns is going to the right server, try to telnet to port 25 on that server to see if you can connect to the other mail server and get a header back. If you want you could go a step further and send a message via command line but not usually necessary.
If that server seems fine, look at your own mail server. Check dns, delivery to other addresses etc..

IPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 pr later for iTunes.

iPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 or later for iTunes. Mac iOS version 10.5.8 and iTunes on Mac is 10.6.1. iPad and iPhone version is 6.0(10A403). When I check for updates on the Mac book pro it says software versions are up to date.
When I check for iTunes version 10.6.3 it looks like it is for snow leopard operating system which I am not on. How to I get my devices to sync with computer. Everything worked prior to iOS 6 upgrade on remote devices.

I'm having the same problem.
iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
I iust updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
Do I really have to update my Mac OS to 10.6.8 in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
thanks

How do I view and open all my files again that are on my external hard drive?? Error message saying 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' Three options are Initialize, Ignore or Eject.

I have recently purchased Toshiba 1TB hard drive and I set it up and I was able to transfer all my files onto it such as my music, photos, documents. I had correctly ejected and used it again and all these files were safely stored and accessible afterwards. However after I rebooted my computer as it had been going slow and I had too much clogging it up once I reconnected the external hard drive I have error message saying 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' Three options are Initialize, Ignore or Eject. How do I access all my files? I set it up to work on both mac and windows. I have tried both another mac and windows computer and same issue occurs?? I am worried that all my personal files are gone but am confused as the drive has had absolutely no damage to it as it was in a very short time frame and its never left the same spot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for your quick response. I had a look at your discussion... I tried it on a Windows machine and I thought that was compatible with ExFAT?
Therefore I need to attempt to use my external hard drive with a machine that boasts OS X 10.6.5 or above and then it should work?
Thanks

When opening the latest version of Iphoto an error message appears that says; You can't open your current iphoto library using this version of Iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the lat

When opening the version of Iphoto i have an error message appears that says; You can't open your current iphoto library using this version of Iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto. What? If I can't open the current library using the latest version of iphoto, and I am asked to make changes the the newest version!!! I'm asked to run in circles chasing my tail...I had a new hard drive installed about 6 weeks ago. I am running MAC OS 10.5.8

What version of iPhoto do you have? If you're on 10.5 then you're not running the latest iPhoto
Any chance that the library was opened with another version?
Simplest solution will be to just restore from your back up.

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Mac Mail - Saved Messages Recovery

In my Mac Mail Saved Messages, their were two folders labeled Saved Messages, with different content in each. I deleted one of them and both disappeared. How do I recover them? And then, how do I delete one of them?

Thanks for a very quick reply - and this is how this mailbox is set up.
I have also had a bit of help and advice from a knowlegable friend and he thinks the source of the deletions may be that the account is an IMAP account on the new machine and my iphone but a POP3 accont on my old machine. I have turned off the old machine to see if this changes the behaviours on the other machines.
This is a very good start.
