Mail accounts keep going off line since Mountain Lion upgrade

My iCloud accounts keep going off line after a while. When Mail asks me if I want to take my accounts online (after pressing the exclamation triangle) nothing happens. The only way to get my accounts back online is to close and reopen Mail. Any thoughts?

It might be worth pointing out I get the error message "The server returned the error: The server “p04-imap.mail.me.com” cannot be contacted on port 993.".
I've tried having Use SSL checked and unchecked but it doesn't seem to help. The only thing that solves it is closing and reopening Mail.
Finally it would now appear that it only happens after the mac has been woken from sleep.

TS3276 All accounts keep going off line, quitting Mail fixes the issue

All accounts keep going off line, quitting Mail fixes the issue.
I have 3 Gmail, 1 hotmail and a yahoo. Al go off line with a little alert symbol next to them.
If I select take all accounts on line nothing happens.
Email delivery stops.
To fix this, I quit Mail and re launch it. That fixes it.
It's realy annoying.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem - it started when I upgraded to OS X 10.8
I thought subsequent releases may help, but I'm now on 10.8.2 and no joy.

Mail keeps going off line

Ever since I got my iPhone my regular mail keeps going off line. I click to put it back online but that doesn't work. The only way I can get it back up is to restart my computer. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Brenda,
Not much to go on so far, but let's start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
How do you connect to the Internet, and do Browsers quit working at the same time Mail does?

My imac mail keeps going off line and can't send out emails even when it when it comes back on line for a short while

Need help in getting rid of this annoying pop up problem. All my Inbox keeps going off line. Comes back very intermitently.

That can't be it if it is working intermitently.
Actually, more often than not, this is caused by duplicate entries in either Mail's Outgoing SMTP servers, or in Keychain.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it/them, or delete it/them and start over.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

B110 wireless printer - keeps going off line in windows 8

Hi - Since supgrading to windows 8 I've had probelms with my wireless printer (B110) and the fact that it keeps going off line. I've now ried removing and re installing usng latest drivers. During installation I get the message that printer rediscovery problems detected. You Pc may not be able to track on line status changes of your printer. If you are using firewall software verify that UDP port 427 is unblocked from your printer at 192.168.2.4 to your pc.
Following windows 8 help I've gone to firewall inbound rules and triesd to enable udp port 427, without much success. On the new inbound rule wizard , I choose the port option then the udp option and then the specific port option and enter 427 . This eems to having no impact but if I'm being honest I've not much of a clue on what I'm doing.
any help much appreciated

While I am researching your Belkin router, I would like to add that you will want to set a static IP for your printer. The green checkmark in your Printer's folder just means it is your default printer and has nothing to do with whether or not it has an IP address. You have to go into your Wireless Menu on the front of the printer to "View Wireless Settings" or print a network configuration page at that exact moment it is not communicating. You are not looking for "No trouble found." Sorry I wasn't more specific but you are looking for an IP address or URL like 192.168.1.5 or 10.0.0.5 etc.
Was the above document I provided any assistance? That has very good information to help clarify the instructions I am giving up because I really want to help you but I will need a bit more information.
Here is a link to really good instructions on how to set a static IP which I think will completely resolve this problem for you.

My mail account has gone off line. How do I get it back on line? I think I sent an email file that was too big.

Hi,
When you have the browser open (Internet Explorer) then press the Alt key on the keyboard. It should show you the file options at the top..Then uncheck work offline and check..
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

IE keeps going "Off Line"

IE keeps going "Off Line" and asking to connect.or attempting to go to "WirelessManagerRasConnection". This happens when connected to 80211 at office and at home as well as when connected to ATT wireless wan. My other toshiba laptop never has any problem staying connected to eiterh of the 80211 networks (it does not have an ATT card).
This is constant and unberable, please help,

If you go to Internet Options > Connections are there any DFU connections listed? Do you have "Do not select connection" selected?
You might have to use you imagination regarding the translations as I don't have an English system at hand, but hopefully you'll see what I mean.

Wireless Printer keeps going off-line

I have an HP Officejet 6700 Premium - Print/Fax/Scan/Copy/Web Printer
Serial No:  [edited Serial Number by Moderator]     - Product No CN583A - FPU No 64001
I have a Network set up - Connected to this Network is: 1. Sony Vaio Laptop - Operating on Windows 7   2. Apple iPad Air 3. Apple iPhone 5 and 4. The Officejet Printer mentioned above
I am using the Mweb Fon Router - Wireless-N VDSL Modem/Router (802.11n)
I also have a ZyXEL Wireless Extender N300 - also supplied by Mweb that extends the signal to the other end of my house.
I have several different things happening as follows:
1, Sometimes the printer goes off-line completely and I have to search for the Router and re-enter the password to get it online again
2. The Printer sometimes says it is on line, but my laptop cannot connect with the printer and I also cannot get a Scan connection either
3. Sometimes when I cannot print from the Laptop which is saying the printer is off-line, if I go through my iPad/iPhone I can print.
4. Sometimes I cannot print from any of my devices as there is no connectivity at all even though the printer says it is connected.
5. I have to continually re-boot my laptop and I can print for a while then, but the connection is lost again after a short while.
I have downloaded your HP Print and Scan Doctor and run the program which does repair it for a while, but it still goes off-line again after a short period of time.
Please can you advise me of a solution to these problems, it is really agravating to keep having to re-boot to get the printer connectivity back, especially if this happens when you are banking online and want to print a proof of payment!!!!
Would my printer be faulty, if so should I send it back under the Guarantee which is still valid until the 5th January 2015
Please advise me of a solution as soon as possible as I am getting very frustrated with this situation.

Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow, Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow

Why is Safari so slow after Mountain Lion upgrade?

I have a home Optimum wifi network with Boost connecting to an Airport, with a second Airport extending, and an Airport Express extending. I have a MacBook Pro, last year's model, two iMacs, a year old each, and an older iMac. (If necessary I can get all the models etc, but I just want to express the problem). The two new iMacs and MBP are running Mountain Lion. The older Lion.
Since upgrading to ML my connection speed both over the wifi and directly connecting to the router has dropped from 30-50 down and 5 up to between 1-4 down and 4 up. I have had the cable folks here to test lines. We've swapped out the modem with a new one. I bought a new netgear N600. Everything led to the same result.
Here's the odd part. When restarting the modem and plugging it directly into the powerbook, initial tests show 30-50 up and 5 down. But once you reconnect to wifi, lose speed, the re-connect directly to the modem the slowness persists directly connected to the modem.
So I start suspecting Mountain Lion. BUT the older iMac cannot be upgraded to Mountain and is still running Lion and has the same issue. The equipment is in the same place it's always been. We've added no electronics that would be interfering with signals.
Everyone is stumped and looking suspicously at the computer and OS. Please help. I'm beginning to hear the bing bong bing bong of dial up in my head.

ATV2 Home Sharing Drops Since Mountain Lion Upgrade

I've found some stuff close to my issue, but really nothing addressing my issue. I have 3 Apple TV 2's. When running my 27" Mac on Lion, everything streamed wonderfully. I have a BIG router capable of handling movie streaming, so the network should NOT be the problem. After installing Mountain Lion, all three of my Apple TV's have been getting dropped from Home Sharing during the middle of a media stream. It happens with regularity with music and movies. Even Netfilx streams drop because Home Sharing drops out. The only way to fix it thus far is to disconnect and re-connect Home Sharing at the 27" Mac, where the streams originate. I'm certain this problem is due to the Mountain Lion upgrade. Is there a fix or do I need to wait for Apple to push something out to us?

For anyone else having the "white screen" issue with youtube, and/or yahoo issue. I seemed to have repaired the issue. I turned the parental controls off for both of my kids accounts, restarted my Mac, and the problem vanished.
I also turned the parental controls back on after this, restarted the computer, and the problem came back.
*** This is 100% a Parental Control/Mountain Lion glitch. Hopefully Apple knows and is working on a solution. The sooner they fix it, the sooner I can turn the parental controls back onto my kids accounts.

TS3276 My 3 mail accounts are all off-line. How do I get them on-line?

My 3 email accounts are off-line. How do I get them on-line?

If you go to Mail>Mailboxes Menu - is Take All Accounts Online and option? Does it re-connect them.
Are the Mailboxes with different providers? If they're all the same provider perhaps there are problems at their end, rather than yours.
I assume your internet connection isn't playing up.

My printer keeps going off line with my network. have to set everything up every few minutes.

After getting my HP photosmart 5510 all in one printer setup on my wireless network and setup for eprint, 2 problems occurred. The printer keeps jumping off of the network, and I have to set everything back up again. Also, even with eprint still completely set up, none of the emails that I send are printing out???
Please Help

For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may help resolve your problems.
1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from completing.
If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to reattach to the cloud.
Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.

Mail accounts keep going offline and then back on again

I am using Mail 4.4 on OS 10.6.6. I have 9 different email accounts in my inbox from 4 different domains. All the domains are hosted on a reseller account so they are all on the same server. Mail is scheduled to check mail every 5 minutes and each time alternating accounts go either on or offline. This behaviour also happens on my iphone 4 with IOS6 and ipad 2 with IOS5.
I am using the same setup and OS as I have been for the past year or so and it has been absolutely fine up until a few months ago. My ISP is being helpful and they have replicated the problem on one of their Macs but it doesn't happen on a PC. They are puzzled also.
I read somewhere that the mail app has a short time out where it takes the account offline if there is no response and that having all email accounts on the same server might cause this problem. Not sure if this is correct advice however.
I have turned off some of the accounts so that only 2 are in the inbox, its still happening but not as often. Anybody have any suggestions as its driving me mad.

My brother and mother are having the same problem. We all three are on SBC Yahoo! DSL and all share GoDaddy-based email addresses. I'm clearly on a different part of the SBC Network - as I have rarely had problems with mail accounts kicking me offline, whereas they have the same problem you do - accounts are random and inconsistent when they kick offline.
I've tried to research whether it's a GoDaddy, SBC or Mail issue. Thanks in advance!
