Mac OS v10.6.1 Snow Leopard Mail SMTP Send issue

Hi.. did the upgrade on SL to 10.6.1 mail still cannot send.
My hosting server requires authentication prior to sending therefore I have made sure that the username and password are correct by accessing it via http.
On some of my mailboxes they are greyed out and some are not an some have ! marks after them, used to work fine prior to the SL.
Running on Peer1 network anyone else having similar issues.
Mail on my server is not running SSL so that is not enabled in my mail client.

Some have attributed their new success directly to the update. Many have simply found where some change in settings was needed to restore functionality. A few users of Comcast and Cox have some random issues that are not fully explained. I think most of those using Frontier actually got theirs working from something that Frontier did, and not Apple.
The only thing I know was changed was a restoration of the ability to take a more manual approach to setting up accounts such as Gmail, allowing the user to choose to use POP rather than IMAP because of being able to hold down the Option key after nearly finishing the first screen of the setup assistant, and having the Create button change to Continue and not leap to the finish.
Up until today I had 14 accounts and 5 SMTPs all working. I added to new Hotmail account, and allowed Mail to set it up automatically, and it was installed perfectly, and worked immediately to send and receive.

  • Snow Leopard MAIL SMTP problem...

    Hi,
    I have a friend using Snow Leopard MAIL. And he reported to me that all of his outbound emails were (all of a sudden??) being bounced back from his ISP (Hargray.com)
    I was able to determine that the problem lies in the SMTP protocol bering issued forth by his iMac/Mail.
    Using WireShark I can see that the EHLO being sent out is similar to:
    EHLO ricks-printer-2/.001/
    By comparison what comes out of my machine is:
    EHLO [192.168.0.111]
    I have already modfied his HOSTNAME in the /etc/hostconfig file but his EHLO computer name persists!
    I have NO IDEA where its getting this 'ricks-printer-2' from nor why the SMTP process attaches the even worse junk on then of that.
    The ISP comes back with  "EHLO ricks-printer-2/.001/  Bad MIME TYPE"
    I've scoured the web for solutions and REALLY thought the fixing up his HOSTNAME would do the trick, but no joy. {It did make the COMPUTER NAME in a terminal session prompt come out correctly though....}
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    tob

    I'm having the exact same issue. I've spent hours rebuilding mailboxes, passwords, and keys. I can often go days before the mail will actually be seen in these offline boxes. Apple - we need this fixed!

  • Running "Classic Application" in Mac OS X v10.6.2 Snow Leopard

    Hello, I'm trying to run a Classic Application on Mac OS X v10.6.2 Snow Leopard... goes by the name of "Titanic Adventure Out of Time." When I go to install it I get the message "You can't open the application Titanic because the Classic environment is no longer supported." I'm wondering how I will be able to get this to work on my MacBook. I've read a few sites which talk of some sort of emulator, or mounting it with Roxio Toast? Is this correct?

    Believe it or not you may have an easier time running that program in Windows on your Mac! That game was made for Windows, and there is better old Windows support for Intel Macs than there is Mac OS 9 support. See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
    And see http://www.macmaps.com/macgamepages.html
    to see if there are any patches to make it Mac OS X Intel compatible.

  • Ipod touch 4g 4.3 not detecting in itunes 10.1.2, i am using mac os x 10.3 snow leopard, can someone help?

    ipod touch 4g 4.3 not detecting in itunes 10.1.2, i am using mac os x 10.3 snow leopard, can someone help?

    You do not need Snow Leopord (10.6.X), but you do need Leopord (10.5.8) and iTunes 10.x for iOS 4.3. You need iTunes 10.5 for iOS 5
    For the Current  (iOS 5 iPod touch specs)
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)7

  • Snow Leopard + Mail + Spelling: BUG

    I think there is a bug in Mail (in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard).
    Open up Edit menu -> Spelling and Grammar -> Show Spelling and Grammar
    By default spelling is set to "Automatic by Language". Now change this to something else (U.S. English, or French for example) and quit Mail.
    Now open up Mail again and open the Spelling and Grammar settings window... the language setting is back to the Automatic setting.

    Yup and it seems to prevent proper spell checking. I should say, it marks a misspelled word, but if you right click to suggest a proper spelling, it has no suggestions. Can't believe this hasn't been found by more people by now. You can change the default language as you stated and then it finds suggestions, but then looses it after restarting the application.
    This isn't a Mail only issues btw, happens everywhere I've tried.
    REALLY annoying at this point.

  • Snow Leopard Mail - Sorts by Subject

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail always wants to sort my messages by "Subject." In Leopard it sorted by "Date Sent." I can go through and updated all my Smart Mailboxes, inboxes, folders, etc., to sort by "Subject;" however, if I quite Mail and start it back up, Mail returns all the inboxes, folders, etc., to sort by "Subject."
    This is a real pain. Others elsewhere in the forum have reported this problem (but I didn't see a separate thread on this topic). Any solution is appreciated.

    Well, after some trial and error, decided to try something simple. Created a new account on my mac. Logged in and launched mail. Configured my gmail account and created a simple smartmailbox "Unread". It was working even after closing and reopening mail, so this is clearly a problem with my local preferences.
    I deleted all that and went back to my original account. And proceeded to perform some tests. Moving and changing preferences here and there. Despite doing all that, I have been unable to fix Mail. I then proceeded to test something (*and having a backup*) of my ~Library/Mail folder (which is, by the way, quite big) I closed Mail. Then I deleted (made a backup too!) my ~Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    After a Mail's relaunch, it will actually behave as a "new mail install", your accounts will be gone (tho not all your stuff is gone, since your Library/Mail folder is "intact").
    I just wanted to test, so I went ahead and recreated my Gmail acount. My Smartfolders were there (those are stored in ~Library/Mail/SmartMailboxes.plist, a file I hadn't touched), but this time, magically, the sorting worked.
    This has been the short version of the story. The truth is I've performed several tests and even edited my plists manually (and tried different stuff).
    In the end, I decided to keep this "new preference" (yes, a pain to reconfigure stuff back) and recreate mailboxes and/or missing settings (but not my rules, signatures, etc.) You have to check that everything is as it was (and it won't, there will be some things that you need to reassign) but most of your stuff will be "ok".
    I carry my Mail settings back from Panther, so i assume that somewhere in between Tiger and Leopard (the later's mail was awful during Leopard's first versions) something got corrupted. In fact under Snow Leopard preferences are now "binary" and not a "simple xml" anymore, tho it seems that SL should be able to convert it (provided the plist is ok, which in my case was not).
    AFter spending a few hours with this, I can say that, Snow Leopard's mail works faster and does what it's supposed to do. (New mail's sound and all that stuff that was working weird).
    In conclusion: You'll probably want to give this "wipe it all" a try. Let's just hope that whatever comes in the future from Apple, doesn't break Mail preferences (as it has been doing since Panther).
    As usual, *remember to always have a backup of everything you touch*.
    Hope this helps.
    Good luck.

  • Can I use Unix symbolic links between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard Mail folders?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail is a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade.
    Is there a way to use Unix symbolic links between actual OS X Mail folders in Mountain Lion and OS X Mail in Snow Leopard?
    It seems the (trial) symbolic link created pointed to a blank file.

    It's not a matter of "letting" each maintain its own database, William. By default, I believe, I have no control over what gets written. In fact, if there were a way to set a preference that says, use this index named "spotlightindexSL' only [while in SL], that might solve my problem. Then when booting up in ML, it would just go after the index it last made.
    My guess is that while I am in ML or SL and not the other, there are all sorts of changes to files and the system freaks and says "Oh, now look at what a mess I've made — there are all sorts of files unaccounted for. Now I have to rebuild the whole thing."
    I have 2 had drives in my Mac, both 500GB. One (Working Disk) has no operating system and all my files, and the other drive is partitioned 470/30gb with SL on the 470 and ML in the 30. When I restart in either OS, the auto-start Indexing as if for the very first time, and do both hard drives (in total: 3 partitions of files, not counting the ML Restore partition).
    I know it all uncoventionally — just wanted to see what my $20 new OS will cost me in software upgrades, in particular my $1800 Adobe Design Suite CS4 and a few others.

  • HT4592 My Mac OS X 10.5 Snow Leopard is missing Java, any suggestion to restore?

    I am experiencing problem in getting any Java chart on a webpage, which suggested me to download Java Virtual Machine. My understanding is my Mac OS X10.5.8 Snow Leopard should have come bundled with Java. Appreciate any suggestion to rectify this. Thank you very much in advance.

    Make sure to ask for the 10.6.7 version as they sent me 10.6.3 which has no App Store that is needed to install Lion, or Mountain Lion. They said it is in the update but I just updated and still no App Store visible. Argh! You have to get the Snow Leopard Disk via mail but will be able to download Lion and/or Mountain lion directly from the App Store, and why you need to make sure they send the correct version if you do order the SL disk. Just an FYI!:)

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

    The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

  • Snow Leopard / Mail -- mail keeps getting redownloaded and shows as new mai

    Hi.
    Anyone had this problem? After I upgraded (?) to Snow Leopard, Mail.app now redownloads my mail from multiple IMAP and POP accounts and shows it as new.
    This happens at times I cannot predict. I don't see a pattern to when this happens. I can't predict when it will happen.
    So at seemingly random times, Mail suddenly shows that I have 400 unread e-mails. Even though these are e-mails I've already dealt with.
    Anyone see this before?
    Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Snow Leopard Mail - Bouncing Icon/Play Sound Rules Cancel Each Other Out

    I recently saw a movie which featured many closeups of a MacBook Pro being used; every time the actor got an e-mail message, the Mail icon bounced in the Dock AND played the New Message Sound. In the current version of Snow Leopard Mail, you can create a Rule to 'Bounce Icon in Dock' when a new message is received. Unfortunately, this disables the New Message Sound. When the user adds another Rule to 'Play Sound', this rule disables the 'Bounce Icon in Dock' feature. At this point, both Rules display as being active, but only one of them works. Anyone know how to get both the New Message Sound AND the bouncing icon? (The actor was able to do it in the movie, but maybe that was just special effects.)

    Look at that:

    You can use both rules together (sound & bouncing)
    I had test it!

  • Snow Leopard Mail - Bouncing Icon Rule Works Strangely

    With most applications, when the icon bounces, the bouncing is stopped once the function it was notifying you about has been taken care of. This is not the case with Snow Leopard Mail. When a Rule has been created to 'Bounce Icon in Dock', the icon keeps bouncing, even after the message it was notifying you about has been selected and read. The user must then go back to the icon and click it to stop it from bouncing. It would be much more convenient and intuitive if the icon stopped bouncing after the messages have been read. Does anyone no of a way to configure Mail to do this?
