Mac mail server issue?
All of a sudden, from out of nowhere, my mac mail connection has gone dead. This is one of the error messages I receive:
"The SMTP server “smtp.mac.com” rejected the password for user _____."
I re-enter the correct password... then I get this:
"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “________” or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server “mail.mac.com” on port 143 timed out."
Repeat process... on and on and on.
Can anyone help?
There are server issues with .Mac - incoming and outgoing mail servers.
I copied this from under Support via webmail access for my .Mac account.
+100% of members might experience slower than normal response when using IMAP mail. Mail can be sent and received using .Mac webmail. Normal service will be restored ASAP.+

Is there a best practice for multi location server setups including mac mail server?
Afternoon all,
Last year I setup a client with Snow Leopard Server including hosting his mail on the server with Mac Mail Server and calendaring. He now has plans to open other sites with the same setup, how can this be done using Mac Server? The implementation of a new server on the new site would be straight forward my concerns / question are:
1. How would the two servers communicate?
a.)Do they need to communicate?
3. How will mail across the two sites work?
a.) How will DNS work for email internally?
b.) How will DNS work for emai externally?
4. How will calendaring work across the two sites?
Is Mac Server the best platform for moving ahead with this type of business need?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
AnthonyCamelot,
many thanks for the speedy reply. Your comments are very helpful thank you, if I may I will give you some for information and some other questions.
The offices will be from 5 miles to 25 miles apart, the new office and ones that follow will be considered as branches of the main office for example the company name is Sunflower and it serves area 1, then new will office will serve area 2 and so on. So in theory I could leave the main server domain and mail mx record as sunflower and then add further servers as 2.sunflower.com, 3.sunflower.com as domains and mx records? This would then provide unique mail records and users within the organisation such as [email protected] and [email protected], which doesnt look to good I would prefer all users to be name@sunflower how can this be acheived?
With regard to user activity in the whole users will be fixed but their will be floaters such as managers and the owners that may at times float from one office to the other and would beneift from logging into any machine and getting their profile.
I have thought about VPN's as I have acheieved this type of setup with Microsoft server products, I have found speed issues in some cases, how can this be acheived using OS X, are there any how to docs around? In the Microsoft setup I acheived this using netgear VPN Firewalls which ofcourse adds an overhead, can this be acheived using OS X propietary VPN software?
So ultimatley I would prefer to have the one domain without subs "sunflower.com" and users to be able to login to their profiles from either location. The main location now will remain as headoffice and the primary location and the new will be satelites.
I hope that covers all of your other question, again many thanks for your comments and time.
Kind Regards

I keep getting an annoying pop up for mail "Enter password for account "SBC." I enter my password but it still pops up. But I can still get my mail when I click on "Get mail." I called ATT and they said they are aware of the problem with Mac users and that I have to update my Mac Mail server program. Anyone know how I can do this? They want to charge me.
RE: "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net".
I recently changed my ATT U-Verse password…and Mail quit working… it wouldn't send or receive, Safari worked fine. I tried to send an email and a warning message popped up, "Mail, Contacts and Calendars preferences can't connect to the Yahoo account "bellsouth.net". In smaller type the next sentence read, "Enter the password for user [email protected]". The Password box was highlighted in blue so I just typed in my new password and my email message was immediately sent…but… I still couldn't receive messages AND the above "can't connect" warning message kept popping up on the screen at random.
Here's the Fix that worked for me. (The problem is that the new password was changed/updated on the keychains "smpt.att.yahoo.com" name-but- the name "pop.att.yahoo.com" didn't update to my new password).
Go to your Utility windows and select Keychain Access. Under Category select Passwords. Now check your password for your current (newest dated) name, "smpt.att.yahoo.com". Now check the password under, "pop.att.yahoo.com". Mine wasn't the same as my newest password found in my
"smpt.att.yahoo.com" window so I deleted my old password in the "pop.att.yahoo.com" window and typed in my new password, then selected "Save Changes". MY MAIL NOW WORKED…and no more warning messages cropped up. Problem was fixed. -

Can someone tell me why the Yahoo mail server (IMAP) keeps requesting my Yahoo email password and says it's incorrect? Yahoo is my Mac mail server. This has happened before, but this time I can't get it to 'Cancel'.
You will have to contact Yahoo Support.

I cannot send outgoing my mail from my email account. Its saying
two servers marked with
alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved.
two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings
. resolve the certificate and try again.
Ive delete the account now and re set them up but it still has an issue with the outgoing server which are the same .... Can anyone help?
jenIs this MobileMe or dot Mac?
If so...
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
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...

Mail server issues after upgrading
Hello,
After upgrading my iMac to Mountain Lion 3 of our 5 email account are not working.
The 5 accounts are [email protected] However 3 of them are not able to come online.
I tried MANY times to delete them and recreate them coming ALWAYS to the same issue.
What I noticed is that the INCOMING mail is different from the incoming mail from the accounts that are working. (the accounts that are working use an incoming mail server: p05-imap.mail.me.com or p01-imap.mail.me.com) However the accounts in trouble only show a grey out "MAIL.EXAMPLE.COM" unable to switch it.
The outcoming mail in those accounts is "ICLOUD - OFFLINE".
Even if I tried to switch servers I get a notice " SERVERS MARKED WITH ALERT ICONS ARE IN CONFLICT AND CANNOT BE SAVED. TOW SERVERS CANNOT SHARE THE SAME ADDRESS AND AUTHENTICATION SETTINGS. TRY AGAIN".
I get this notice even after deleting all the problem accounts.
Also I tried switching ports like some people suggested on other posts and does not help either.
The account are working perfectly on ipads, ipods and iphones.David,
You are right, theer are some changes incorporated in the latest MLR # 16 on the configurations files and on the dehydration store metrics(such as performance, fields,..).
However, I would not suggest to continue working on olite, even for Development/Test purposes as you might get stuck with strange errors...and the only solution would be to re-install SOA Suite if your olite gets corrupted. There might be ways to gets your olite back to position, but trust me..its not so simple.
Also, when you develop and stress test all your testcase scenarios in an TEST Adv installation, its simple to mimic the same in actual production box, as you exactly know its behavior.
So, go for a brand new SOA 10.1.3.4 MLR # 5 (or) 10.1.3.3.1 MLR # 16 SOA Suite Advanced installation with Oracle DB 10.2.0.3 as its dehydration store.
Hope this helps!
Cheers

I have a customer with Snow Leopard server running mail services. Some hosts cannot email them due to what we think is a TLS related issue. These hosts have TLS enabled for the mail server and they receive the below error message when sending to my customer:
15:27:41.044 3 SMTP-406902(domain.com) failed to establish a secure connection with http://xx.xx.xx.xx:25. Error Code=X509: signature algorithms do not match.
When the host sender turns off TLS emails make it to my customer. The host that cannot send seems to think it's a Postfix configuration issue but I don't know where to begin. It's not a firewall issue as we've tried that with no success.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.You'll want to provide more details around the "hosts" here. Is this, for instance, mail clients connecting to the mail server? (It's comparatively rare to have encrypted traffic on port 25 between mail servers.)
If this is mail clients connecting to a remote mail server via port 25, then have a look at switching over to the authenticated ports; moving off of submissions via port 25, as those can run afoul of anti-spam mechanisms.
You'll want to provide more details around the sorts of certificates involved here, as well.
And if the mail server's DNS is stuffed up - you've been asking a whole lot of SMTP questions around the forums, and you've been unfortunately rather "cagey" on the details and the configuration details - you'll have SMTP-related issues sending to some hosts. The forward and reverse and MX records have to match up or the mail will be rejected during the reception-related processing performed by various remote servers; your server will be marked as a spam host. -
Ipowerweb and outgoing mail server issues
getting my POP account on my iPhone to send mail successfully has proven to be difficult.
why is it that on my old Nokia E61 my incoming and outgoing mail server settings "mail.mydomain.net" worked regardless of whether i was on edge or wifi -- yet on my iPhone the only way i can send email is to turn wifi off, and input "cwmx.com" as my outgoing mail server and send sloooowly over edge?
i guess my question is, what is different about the way the iPhone connects to different servers, if my old phone did not have any issues with it at all - and how can i remedy this? shouldnt it be as simple as sycing the settings from my POP account on my G5? what am i missing here...and is this specific to ipowerweb hosting?
thanksaegez,
As a point of clarification, if you are going to use Port 25 on EDGE you have to use cwmx.com. Many networks filter port 25 traffic because of port 25 traffic has been abused by people sending unsolicited bulk email (aka spam). AT&T's EDGE network is not the only network to filter port 25.
The iPhone in some situations will try other common ports, many of which will require authentication.
If you are using an outgoing mail server that requires authentication on a port besides port 25 it should work on both WiFi and EDGE in most situations. The exception would be on networks that filter traffic on all ports as a security major, such as some work environments.

Hi all!
For our customer (an Email Service Provider) we are trying to find out if (and to what extent) Mac Mail supports Server Autodiscovery (just the way Outlook 2007 and 2010 (for Windows) do it, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124251.aspx).
The goal is that the User only has to enter his/her email address, and the SMTP/POP3 host/port are automagically configured in Mac Mail.
We know that Mac Mail does read our customer's autodiscover.xml (see Microsoft's definition of the autodiscovery-process in the link above) and supports a certain subset of the aforementioned "autodiscovery protocol" in order to support Exchange servers --- but is this also possible for SMTP and POP3 servers?
In our tests we could not get Mac Mail to autoconfigure itself using an autodiscover.xml file which works perfectly well for Outlook 2007 (and our SMTP and POP3 servers).
We also found out, that Mac Mail seems to use a proprietary autodiscovery service implemented as a web service at https://mac-services.apple.com --- this one seems to be the reason why e.g. "[email protected]" will configure Mac Mail to use the pop3.live.com server.
Does anyone know of a way for a small Email Service Provider to become one of those supported providers?
Thanks for any information,
helii've set up http://autodiscover.vcn.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
it's set to use php to parse the email address and log the output, when I enter in my email address in mail and continue, it hits the address above, posts an email address.

but mail forces me to put in settings manually, even though it should have just been handed the settings on a silver platter.
does this not work with non-exchange servers? -
On my iMac I notice that my incoming mail server address is different. It is p99-imap.mail.me.com. On my MacBook Air which I have not updated it is mail.me.com. I have made no changes myself. I am unable to access my mail on my iMac while my updated iPhone and iPod Touch mail works fine.
I have the opposite probem, mail is coming in on my MAC but not on my iphone via mobile me.

Hi,
I am having an issue since this afternoon with my mail server.
In a nutshell, port 25 does not allow any connections on the internal network.
From the server I can:
telnet 127.0.0.1 25
telnet 192.168.0.5 143
cannot:
telnet 192.168.0.5 25
Makes no sens to me at all.
Any suggestions?It appears that the server is not "listening"to port 25??

Mac Mail has serious connection issues. It's a pain in the *** to try to configure it , and then once you think you have it, it fails. I've banged my head on it for a week and then went to try Postbox and Airmail who both connect and work smoothly. I would suggest you adopt their model of connecting .
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

OSX 10.5 Server - Mail Server Issue
This is a clean install of OSX 10.5.6 on a new Xserve.
I've setup the Mail Server and it kind of works. The problem I'm having the email seems to get stuck in the queue and have to manually force it to get delivered. There is an error when the message initially arrives with a temporary error. I can't find the error. Once I tell the server to retry delivery the message comes in fine.
Here's an example from the mail log:

Any suggestions?Check /var/log/mailaccess.log for the same time you see the error in mail.log. You may need to increase the logging level for IMAP to "Information" first.

Best way to copy FCP-created Blu-ray Disc?
