Mail 5.3 under Lion 10.7.5 fetches mail from Belgacom but not from Scarlet in Belgium

Mail used to fetch mail perfectly well from all my Belgacom Skynet accounts in Belgium, and also from my Scarlet accounts.
From the moment I "up"graded to Mail 5.3, it has been unable to fetch mail from my Scarlet accounts. So I have to seperately to their Webmail in order to treat my Scarlet e-mail. Scarlet seem unable to solve the matter. It seems to be clearly an Apple problem - but WHAT problem?
What technical difference or parametric difference is there between a Belgacom Skynet account and a Scarlet account?
Can Apple, or anybody else, help? It has proved extremely embarassing as I have missed some extremely important and sensitive emails.

By the way the other thread I mentioned is "Re: Mail in OSX Lion : pop not OK " and here is a copy of happyjohn's post:

Hey guys!
I solved this problem with POP account very simple. Though I've read a lot to find it, but here it is (at least it works fine with Gmail accounts):
Go to Accounts>Advanced and just check the port you uses for downloading mail from your POP server. For POP it should be 995 and SSL should be switched on.
After that Mail 5.0 downloaded all mail I had on my server (I use chelarbitr.com with Gmail Apps installed).
That's all.

Want to delete mails from Thunderbird but not from the server?

Hi,
Please tell me how to configure the settings of Thunderbird so that if i delete any mail from Thunderbird that mail would be delete only from Thunderbird not from server. I'm using IMAP configuration for all my mail accounts and I'm using Thunderbird in my laptop and tablet both.
Currently i'm using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and i just want to delete my useless mails from Thunderbird but not from the server without using pop-3 settings.
Actually the reason for this Question arises because whenever i use to uninstall and reinstatement Thunderbird, i use to take "profiles" as a back up and its size is increasing day by day that is making a big issue to me as i cant take a back up of such a big size file.

Imap mail accounts keep the emails on the server and you see a remote view of those emails and folders.
When you subscribe to see a folder, the headers are downloaded, when you select an email to read, the entire folder is downloaded to a temp cache facilitating quicker access. If you synchronize folders, then a copy of that folder is downloaded to an mbox file in your profile, so that you have a copy of the server folder. When you make any changes to a synchronized folder, read an email, delete or move etc, then Thunderbird will resynchronize with the server to update the server. A synchronized folder allows you to work in 'offline' mode and this is the best time to perform a backup as you know there is a temporary stop on synchronizing as you are offline. They will resynchronize when you go back into 'online' mode.
So, with IMAP mail accounts, the folders you see in Thunderbird are the same folders on the webmail server. If you make any changes via Thunderbird or webmail then you are changing the same folder. You cannot delete an email without deleting it from the server, they are one and the same.
What you can do is move/copy an email into Local Folders and delete the one on the server. The Local Folders emails are kept in your Profile on your computer, these folders/emails are not on the server, unless you chose to keep a copy of them on the server.
Pop mail accounts cannot see the folders on the server. They only access the server Inbox folder and download emails not previously downloaded to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. These emails are kept on your computer in your profile folder. You can select to keep a copy on the server or not. You can choose to delete emails off your computer and off the server or not.
If the mail account is gmail , have you subscribed or even synchronized to see the 'All Mail' folder ? Gmail's all Mail folder is their Archive folder, it keeps a copy of all of your non-deleted emails. So, you do not need to subscribe to see this folder as it only shows you what you can already see in other folders. It doubles the disc space.
Please read section on 'All Mail' at this link.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite
You do not have to download/synchronize the entire folder. You could select to only synchronize the most recent xx days of emails.

How to delete mail from mac but NOT from gmail server?

Hi I have around 6GB of space used up by the mail app. I never really use it anymore though, favouring the gmail website. I can't work out how to clear out the mail app and free up that space, without also deleting the emails from the gmail server. Can anybody help?
Thanks
Jonathan

Hello Jhughes1986,
If you are not using the mail account in the Mail app, then remove it from Mail. When in Mail, go to the drop down menu Mail > Preferences, select the Account tab, select your Gmail account and then hit the Minus ( - ) button towards the bottom to remove the account.

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

Did download OS X Mountain Lion and see the features in my applications, but not reflecting in my APPS purchases.

did download OS X Mountain Lion and see the features in my applications, but not reflecting in my APPS purchases.
also this takes huge amount of time, almost 10 hours to download, even using 3G Net connection.

Hi kiwirudy,
I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
Here are some steps I've found useful:
Close the Mac App Store.
make a copy of the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
This should open it in Property List Editor.
Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
Save the manifest.plist and close it.
Open the Mac App Store.
The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
It should continue from where it left off.
This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
Regards
Nic

E-mail on my iPad is 'frozen'. Other screens respond to touch but not the e-mail

The e-mail on my iPad is 'frozen'. Other screens respond to 'Touch' but not the e-mail.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
Restart - red slider, then boot up again
Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
Erase All Content - same as above
Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.

Office for Mac 2008 - Mail Merge fails under Lion

I have upgraded to Lion and have Office ofr Mac 2008.
Since the upgrade to Lion I cannot use the Word Mail Merge as it cannot find the convertor from Excel Workbook to text... everything worked fine till I upgraded to Lion

rlmr wrote:

Yes, but Mail Merge is not a feature of Lion. It is a feature of Word. Since it is a Word feature that is "broken" then as mentioned, you should be asking in the Microsoft forums.

My Mail app in Mountain Lion takes forever to push mails

i dont know what happened, before the notifications and the mail app worked fine,
but now when i receive a notification from the Windows Messenger that i got a mail
i dont receive any notifications in the notification center neither i receive the mail, i have to wait forever for the mail app to push that mail
and get the notification, even it is set to check every minute
is anyone experiencing this?
is too slow:O

More info. It seems to freeze when switching between mail and other apps. It then becomes impossible to switch back to the mail app, though mail will be indicated in the app name just to the right of the apple menu

Can access mail on home IMAP server from work, but not at home

At home I have an Xserve running Snow Leopard Server with IMAP service enabled. This runs all my personal email. Even Gmail and iCloud accounts have their incoming mail forwarded to that server, because I prefer to house my own data. I have dynamic DNS with an MX record. The Xserve also runs DNS and resolves "imap.myip.net" to the internal IP address of the Xserve, and, when I am and work, "imap.myip.net," through the dynamic DNS service, resolves to the outside IP address I have through my ISP. My router forwards external requests on Port 993 to the Xserve internally.
Until recently, I could move my MacBook Pro between home and work and access my email without problems in either place. It appears that since the 10.8.2 update, I can no longer access my email from home, where I am on the same subnet as my IMAP server. When at home, Mail accesses external email servers (Gmail and my work account) without problems. For the accounts on my home IMAP server, the Mail Connection Doctor states that the IMAP server could not be contacted.
However, I can clearly ping it from my MacBook Pro, which means that it is reachable and that my internal DNS is working.
I just fired up my work VPN, and, sure enough, messages that Mail hadn't been able to collect are trondling into my Inbox. In other words, when making Mail access my mail server through the Internet there is no problem.
Even before the Mountain Lion update I found that I had to relaunch Mail when I returned home from work, or Mail couldn't connect to the mail server. It seemed like Mail cached the resolved IP address it had gotten at work, which is the external IP address of my home network, and failed to re-resolved the address of the IMAP server once I woke up the computer, after getting back home. Quitting Mail and relaunching it did resolve that, but it was annoying.
I have never worked with Little Snitch, but it might provide some answers as to what Mail is attempting to do, when it is failing to access the server. Do any of you agree or recognize this issue and have a solution?

It looks like a simple reboot fixed the problem.
Mac OS X is, by and large, so stable that I don't even consider rebooting as a troubleshooting step. There have been a number of application glitch that required a quit and re-launch to fix them, but that didn't do the trick with Mail. Very possibly reconfiguring everything from scratch had something to do with the fix, but in a way that required it to be combined with a reboot.

Need help, can't send mail from webmail but can from clients

Just got Lion Server up and running but i'm having a problem sending mail via the webmail (Roundcube). I keep getting this error
SMTP error (250): Authentication failed.
The problem is that no one needs to be authorized to send mail. All my clients work fine sending from their mail client software. It seems that roundcube wants to autheticate in some form and doesn't know it doesn't need to. But where do I change that setting??

i noticed this in my logs, so I'm sure roundcube is trying to access the server using authentication, but I don't know how to change it.
[29-Dec-2011 14:27:42] SMTP server does not support authentication ():
[29-Dec-2011 14:27:42 -0800]: SMTP Error: SMTP error: Authentication failure: SMTP server does not support authentication (Code: ) in /usr/share/webmail/program/steps/mail/func.inc on line 1502 (POST /webmail/?_unlock=loading1325197839437?_task=mail&_action=send)
I went to the line 1502 but it doesn't look like I should change anything there.

Delete mail from iPod Touch but not from webmail

I like to access my webmail with my Touch but I don't like leaving mail on my Touch. How do I take it off without also deleting it from my webmail account?

Not possible, that would defeat the convenience of webmail/touch syncing. If your concern is security (ie, someone finds or steals your touch), set the touch to Autolock in Settings. With this feature enabled, someone would need to enter a password to see your email (or do anything else with your touch).

How do I delete e-mail from iphone but not server?

Hi, I don't want to delete e-mails from my server when I delete them from my phone - I can't see how to change the settings ....can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.
