Mail 4.5 with OS 10.6.8

Until this morning I was happily using Mail with a number of accounts. Now I find when I try to send a message, I get the request window to re-enter my password, which I do, but then within a second or less I get a message that the smtp server does not accept it as the correct password. It is correct, as I can access the account through Webmail (but it is too slow and inconvenient). This has happened on a few accounts today with the same provider.
At the same time, all accounts are on line, but through Mail Connection Doctor, all the smtp were unable to connect - yet suddenly some are connected (Connection and login to server succeeded) while others, to the same server still aren't connecting (Trying to login to this server failed. Verify that the username and password are correct).
I have tried restarting Mail and the computer with no success. Just at the same time as this came up, attachments where visible by name but weren't there as a file (but had been the day before).
I tried to see if it ws the provider at fault, but got no assistance there. I don't think it is as it works okay as Webmail, pointing the finger at the Mail program.

I have the same problem after intsalling the latest security update. Mail works just fine on my other Macs, but not my main MacBook Pro. I have had problems with Mail in the past few months not automatically connecting and downloading new mail. I have to either quit Mail and restart it or take accounts oflline then online to get new mail. I know it's not a problem with my internet provider as it works just fine on other Macs. Suggestions? Anyway to delete prefs to fix this?
Thanks

  • IMAP Mail and syncing with Server

    So I would like to convert from POP mail to IMAP. I have created a new account in Mail and so far I have been able to receive emails no problem. The issue is that sent emails are not being saved and I cannot save drafts. I can send emails fine but I do not have any copies of them. It seems as though mail is having trouble communicating with my server. The option to save sent and drafts IS selected. After speaking to my hosting provider, the issue seemed to be in the PORT on the Advanced tab. It was set by deafult to 143. they suggested I change the port to 110 which is what they support. When I do that and then subsequently send an email, I get a SENT EMAIL folder under the SENT folder in MAIL. Same with drafts and I am able to send emails, but NOW I can;t receive them. They are being delivered to my server as I checked throught my web portal, but Mail wont bring them down.
    the whole reason I am switching to IMAP is so that I can sink RECIEVED, SENT and DRAFT emails between my two computers.
    Any ideas please?

    the port to 110 which is what they support.
    Well, if you did that, then it should be no surprise that you cannot receive mail now. Change the port back to 143, which is what should be used for an IMAP account. Port 110 is for POP.
    After changing the port back to 143, which mailboxes related to the IMAP account do you see in Mail? Where/how do you see them? Do you see a Sent Messages and/or a Drafts mailbox with a generic folder icon (i.e. other than the standard Sent and Drafts mailboxes) anywhere in the mailboxes list in Mail? Do mailboxes on the server appear as subfolders of the account's Inbox?

  • I have a iMac destop 10.6.2 and use the AOL Mail web site with your Firefox Browser. It has worked great for years. I update the firefox to 6.1 and now I cannot send images using the Firefox browser. With Safari browser it works fine.

    I use AOL mail - http://www.aol.com/ with my Firefox 6.1 browser. Before updating aol mail worked great with firefox for years. Now when I try to send ( upload) messages with a file or images I always get the reading " there was a technical problem and I should try again". Messages with NO files or images go through just fine. I have cleared the Firefox history, the cache and cookies and the problem remained the same. The question is does this problem have something to do with the latest update ? AOL are still only familar with the 3.6 Firefox versions. Thanks

    Well I guess I was too optimistic. Since last posting I have had three hang events, one during reboot. When the login dialog box came up I clicked on it and it hung.
    However I do have a new data point. I have enabled the remote login (sshd). I have discovered that when the system hangs like I described above, I can still log in via SSH from my Windows system. The shell appears normal, but when I tried a "killall Safari" command the OS crashed hard. After a hard reset, the system hung during the login process. Again I could login remotely, and that time I executed a "sudo reboot" via the remote session. That cleared the display to all-blue but did not successfully reboot.
    Can anyone suggest what to try via the remote login to help diagnose what is happening? I am familiar with typical Linux architecture but the differences in Mac OS X are leaving me a bit disoriented.

    When initiating an e mail to someone with several addresses used in the past the one I use most often does not come up in the first position.  How can I get these multiple e mails prioritized?

    We are talking about the Mail app, right? In the Mail menubar, click on Window and then Previous Recipients:
    That eliminates the previous recipients. If you are talking about the suggestions because there are 10 people with the name 'Steve' in your Contacts, then I do not know how to eliminate those unless you change the name slightly or wait until you type the last name or some other differentiator.

  • For FaceTime, can you add an additional e-mail that is not your Apple ID e-mail?  Everytime I try to do this on my iPad it sends me a verification e-mail saying I am trying to change the e-mail address associated with my apple ID and wants me to verify.

    I am trying to add another e-mail address to FaceTime, but do not want to change the e-mail address associated with my Apple ID.  Everytime I try to add the e-mail address in my FaceTime settings, it send me a verification e-mail asking me to verify that I want to change to this new e-mail address for my apple ID.  I do not.  I just want to have an additional e-mail address for people to contact me via FaceTime. Does anyone know how to do this?

    You can have multiple addresses associated with your apple id. You will have to verify any changes before they can be added and this is done by sending you an email. This is to protect you from someone else makeing changes to your account.
    You can make any changes and view all your info here:

    I no longer have the e-mail address associated with an Apple ID.  I do not know the password for that account, nor are the security questions correct (e.g. it asked my birth date, but, when I listed it, I was told it was not correct).  I have no way to get into the program, to correct an information.  How do I delete this account and start anew?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • How do I change my @icloud e-mail address associated with my apple ID

    My apple ID is not an @icloud address (it is @yahoo.com).  Curretnly I have an @icloud e-mail address associated with this account.  If I log onto icloud.com with my @yahoo Aplle ID,  it will show the emails that I have received from my current @icloud e-mail address. 
    How do I:
    1) create a new @icloud e-mial address and
    2) replace the old @icloud with the new @icloud
    3) forward e-mails from the old address to the new one and then, evetually delete the old one. 

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) Once you have created an alias you need take no further action to receive emails to it; messages to either the primary address or the alias will turn up in the inbox, and you can choose which you use as the 'From' address when you reply.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

    How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

    gjortega,
    Your sidekick may be relaying through a different server. If its on AT&T, it could be using cwmx.com for outgoing. However, cwmx.com only works for AT&T/Cingular EDGE customers. When on Wi-fi it won't allow you to send through it.
    Many internet providers, but not all, provide an authenticating SMTP server to use when travelling. If you configured your outgoing server to use the email providers authenticating SMTP server information on a port different from port 25, you will be able to use it on most networks. Some wireless networks filter a wider range of ports, such as some work places.
    This article discusses the issue in more detail:

  • ICloud mail not syncing with Droid RAZR

    On July 24th, 2012 iCloud mail stopped syncronizing with my Droid RAZR.  My wife and I have identical phones, and have currently active and functional iCloud accounts on Mac. Both of our phones had functional email syncronization before AND AFTER ICS updates.  No new dowloands or settings changes have occured.  I have ensured that we are using the correct manual settings [email protected], PW, imap settings mail.mac.com, port 993, SSL
    I have tried using imap.mail.me.com and that does not work either. I tried the p07- prefix, and that too does not work. The only error it providfes is that it cannot connect to the server, and no other information is provided.
    I was on with verizon support, apple support, and motorola support and no one knows what has happened or has any solution.
    Have others encountered this problem recently? I have seen postings from last year on this, but nothing recently.
    If others have solutions, please post.
    Thanks

    I had the same problem.  Took me a long time to figure out but just got it working with Motorola level 2 support.  For some reason the settings changed and they are different settings that what I got to work using the K-9 app.  Basically, you need to change the incoming and outgoing server settings from what they were!   incoming server is imap.mail.me.com.  Use port 993, ssl/tls (accept all certificates) and authentication method should be LOGIN.  Outgoing settings should be smtp.mac.com with port 587, require sign-in, authentication method is PLAIN

    Hi Gary,
    I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
    When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
    If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
    Please  heck if the following reg key exists:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    or
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
    If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
    If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
    Please check the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
    Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

  • Mail Sender Adapter with IMAPS

    Hi,
    I had a Mail Sender Adapter running fine with imap. Our Email Server has changed now to secure protocol. Therefore I need to use the Mail Sender Adapter with IMAPS. If I use imaps://<mailserver>:993 in the channel configuration the Mail Adapter aborts with error "not initialized; mail agent null" and in the default trace it says "failed to initialize the channel: java.io.IOException: illegal protocol for XMBIMAPInitiator: imaps#". If I configure the Mail Adapter with  <b>imap</b>://<mailserver>:993 the Mail Adapter starts and says "running", but it does not poll the postbox. In the security.log file there is a warning about untrusted certificates "com.sap.security.core.server.https.SecureConnectionFactory#Plain###Attempting to create outgoing ssl connection without trusted certificates#". I did already import the (CA) Certifcate of the mailserver with key storage service of J2EE Engine in the Trusted area and I configured the J2EE Engine for using SSL (the https access to the J2EE Engine works fine).
    What is still missing in XI 3.0 (SP12)? I can access the postbox securely with e.g. Thunderbird using port 993.
    Has anyone an idea or had already this issue?
    Thanks for any help in advance.
