Mail aliases no longer usable in iOS Mail?

I just discovered that my mail aliases are no longer available in iOS Mail. It took years for them to get it working close to correctly. What happened?

With 7.1 on my iPhone 5, Organize by Thread is definitely NOT working.
On my Mac (Mavericks) a particular 'thread' of notification emails (not important what) is grouped together eactly as desired and expected since 'Organize by Conversation' is ON.
When viewed in iOS, even when 'Organize by Thread' is ON, that same 'thread' is displayed simply as separate emails rather than grouped as on the Mac. I thought this worked before, but I cannot be sure when or even if my memory is correct. However, what is clear is that a function that works on the Mac, does NOT in iOS.
However, the observant may have noticed a slightly different name in each case. It's '...by Conversation' on the Mac and '...by Thread' in iOS. I would understand them to mean the same thing, but who knows now. If they ARE the same function, why use different terms (VERY bad design practice) and if they are different, what does each actually mean?
I'm somewhat perplexed that such a fundamental failure is getting so little press. OK, it's not a major deal, but the fact Apple cannot get right something so simple...

Gmail and IMAP mail accounts no longer work in the mail app since iOS 6

I'm getting the User information or password is incorrect message. Or it takes 10+ minutes to send a message. It will no longer allow me to sync with my IMAP mail account from work. Everything worked correctly, then iOS 6 is released and it's hosed. I've looked online elsewhere and a few people from google are aware of the problem and are trying different things. I tried enabling two-step id with google and providing an app-specific password to no avail.
Highly frustrated in this, and also in the fact that there are no useful workarounds. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi, just update your extensions ( "Change quote and reply format 0.8.1" has to be installed an to be active) by using the updating-function for extensions integrated in Thunderbird.
Or - if the extension is removed - install the latest version from the devellopers website: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/changequote-en.html

E-mail threading no longer working in iOS 7

Worked fine in iOS 6, not experiencing any other bad effects from the upgrade except for the occasional notification on the lock screen when tapping on and sliding to unlock not going to the app/article/e-mail being notified about but that doesn't happen often. I have made sure that in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar that Organize By Thread IS on and in the green switch position. I have not, and would prefer not to, reset all settings. This is happening on both my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 w/Retina Display. Any help is much appreciated.

Apple Mail app no longer connecting to incoming mail server

Hi.
I use the integral Apple Mail email client under OS X 10.8.
Until this afternoon, all was well and I could send & receive my emails without any problem. (Suggesting that all the server settings & preferences are correct in Mail.)
This afternoon Mail suddenly was unable to connect to my incoming (IMAP) mail server, and I still cannot get it to connect.
I do still receive email from the same server on my iPhone though, so that suggests that the server itself is working correctly.
I've tried quitting Mail and re-launching it, and I've tried editing the server settings, saving the new settings and then reverting to the old ones and re-saving, but to no effect.
The problem exists on both of the user accounts we have set up on this Mac, and both user accounts use the same IMAP server, but with different names of course.
I'm at a loss as to what might have occurred here, and an even further loss as to what else I can try to resolve the problem.
Anyone any ideas please?
ps. While I was typing this an email arrived in my Mail inbox! BUT... I still have the little !-triangles by the side of my account in Mail, and when I click on them the 'Alert' tells me that there 'may be a problem with the server or network' and, "The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on port 993 timed out."
So it looks like I'm getting emails somehow, but there is still a problem somewhere.

I started having this same problem yesterday after installing the Safari 7.0.6 update. This has to be a coincidence.
I have 11 email accounts setup in Apple Mail. The only one working now is my work exchange email. The rest are either accounts I host on my own OS X Mavericks Server using IMAP and SMTP over SSL except for two of them which are GMAIL and iCloud.
Same issue. The iMac just displays the warning triangle symbol and when I click I get the Unable to Connect dialog with the message.
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “iCloud” or try again.
The server returned the error: The server “p03-imap.mail.me.com” cannot be contacted on port 993.
I have verified the settings on all of my IOS devices and they are the same. As with the original post, my IOS devices are all able to connect to all of my accounts without any problems.
To try and troubleshoot this issue I switched to another user account and tried to connect to one of my mail accounts and got the same Unable to Connect issue. I then opened another email client (Thunderbird) and configured the email account exactly the same there (IMAP on port 993 and SMTP on port 587). Thunderbird was able to connect and retrieve my mail without any problems. As an additional test I opened up terminal and tried "telnet p03-imap.mail.me.com 993". I was immediately connected to the iCloud server.
To sum up this does not appear to be a problem with the iMac, the user account, my mail server or the network. It appears to be a problem with Apple Mail only.
I wonder if there is a plist file or something that needs nuking.

Mail Account NO LONGER stores Passwords for Mail Accounts

Since my last restart my mac mail accounts (.mac, company, etc) no longer STORE passwords for either the send or smtp receive... Anyone experience this before? I'm going to try and toss the mail pref files and even delete my accounts, but since it's happening to ALL of my accounts (5) at the same time I'm concerned that I'll be wasting my time until I fix what's gotten broken...

Since these password are stored in your Keychain, try running Keychain First Aid on your Keychain via Keychain Access.

Mail.app: need longer timeout when fetching mail

How can I set mail.app's timeout for 'get mail' to a few minutes?
A test with terminal>telnet reveals that the pop-server of my provider pauses a few minutes between the pop3 user and pass commands (doing an unsuccessfull reverse dns lookup ?). For mail.app that's too long, it gives up after 60 seconds with an error.

I think you are running low in working memory.
Close all programs that are running in the background.
1. Double-click the Home button
2. Hold down any icon until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close the program
4. Reboot the iPad

Mac Mail taking too long to load incoming mail

It's been taking a very long time for Mail to load my emails for the past few weeks. I tried updating to Maverick, but that did not help. I also deleted a ton of emails--didn't help. My largest inbox (I have five, but only one has many messages) is now at 50% capacity, but the problem has not lessened. The incoming mail prompt usually says something like, "Loading 110 of 125 emails," and after 15 minutes or more it will load 1-2 new messages. I don't really understand what's going on anymore--there seem to be a lot of folders, my Sent folder is showing unread emails (?). I don't know the function of Archive--tried to export all those to a folder on my harddrive so I could delete them, but that didn't work.
Help! The constant processing is slowing down my entire system with slow payoff from Mail and is driving me nuts!

P.S. I have had no success Rebuilding, and cannot find the Terminal application on my computer.

Mail suddenly no longer able to send mails

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, Mail refuses to send my mails via my standard provider. I get the error message that the provider rejected my password. Which is odd, since there is no password required to send mails.
Not being able to get this solved, I bypassed the problem by having Mail send my mails via my GMail account. I know, this is a bit awkward for the people receiving my mails, but it works.
Or at least, for the past few months it worked, and now, all of a sudden, I get the exact same error message for mails I am trying to send via GMail!
As far as I know, nothing has changed. I have not done any system updates recently (at least not in the last few days, and yesterday, Mail still worked properly).
When I had the problem with my provider some months ago, I browsed the support pages, but nothing the pages said, solved the problem. I fiddled about with my account settings until my fingers were numb and I had depleted every possible suggestion, but to no avail.
Anyone else experience this problem? How did you get it to work? Or is this a rather annoying bug in Mail that Apple needs to solve asap?
Thanks for your feedback.

Please, turn off caps lock, screaming in your post is not necessary. What's your email client? Webmail? Outlook Web App? Try to delete the Firefox cache and test.

HT1277 My Mail page no longer receives or sends mail. This happens on occasion and then returns. This never happens to my husbands page with whom I share the computer.

I have a MacOSX version 10.7.4.
My Mail page for no reason decides to not send or receive my emails. I have two email addresses and for no reason they just stop and I am forced to go to my aol page on Safari. Then after a month or so they appear back on my Mail page.
Nothing seems to cause. I can just open my page and there is a z beside the address.
I have tried to fix it by reconfiguring my email account, but it does not accept it.
Thanks for any help

Hello,
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the exact message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
You may have multiple entries.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

How do I delete Apple e-mail aliases from iOS 8?

I have e-mail aliases from iCloud stuck in my iPad/iPhone that I have already deleted in iCloud. I cannot see any way of deleting them in iOS 8.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks.
Shawn

I have no idea what "frozen" means.
Double clicking the contact or selecting the contact and clicking the Properties button opens the edit dialog box just like a right click does. You can do those on a Mac.
Selecting the contact and pressing the Delete button on your keyboard will delete the contact after confirming the dialog box.

Server 4.0.3 - user aliases no longer valid e-mail addresses

Until recently I was running a server with Mavericks 10.9.5 and OS X Server 31.2. I recently upgraded it to Yosemite (10.10.2) and OS X Server 4.0.3. After the upgrade I see a significant behaviour change in the mail server.
In my original setup I had several users who had some 'aliases' (also known as 'Short Names' in Workgroup Manager) defined for them. Under Server 3.1.2 these aliases were treated as valid (alternate) e-mail address. For example, if the user 'abcd' with primary e-mail address '[email protected]' had the aliases a1 and a2 defined then mail sent to [email protected] and [email protected] would be delivered to that user. Under server 4.0.3 this behaviour seems to have changed and it no longer treats the aliases as alternate e-mail address; mail sent to them is rejected with 'user unknown'. Alternate e-mail addresses now need to be specifically assigned via Server.app/Users or Workgroup Manager.
I am surprised (though I probably should not be) that there is such a significant change in functionality without any warning; does anyone know if this is intentional or a bug? I have worked around it by adding the alternate e-mailaddresses explicitly (luckily only a few users were affected or this could have been a huge job). Of course, the issue was not noticed until a couple of days after the upgrade so for sure some legitimate mail has been lost :-(
Thoughts or comments anyone? Should I log a bug on this?

Hi Chris,
I think I found a way to create e-mail aliases on the newest OS X Server 4.0.3. Actually, two ways. In the end it doesn't work, but maybe it gives you or people on the forum clues on how to set it up properly.
You can either go to the Mail service, double-click on your domain, add a new e-mail address for the same member multiple times, editing the e-mail address on the right side:
Or you can open the user from Users accounts and add an extra e-mail address in the Email Addresses box:
Since I know Postfix is behind the OS X Server Mail feature, I looked for Postfix configuration files. Both ways of adding aliases as shown above will add entries to the Postfix "/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/virtual_users" file. The file now looks like this:
# greengaroo.biz
[email protected] pleblanc
[email protected] pleblanc
[email protected] pleblanc
Of course I restarted the Mail service, and I checked the date of the "virtual_users" file and the "virtual_users.db" file, both were freshly updated.
Still, it doesn't work. If I send an e-mail from my Gmail account to either alias, I get the following in the SMTP Log:
Feb 13 23:47:33 x.x.x postfix/smtpd[8219]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-ie0-f172.google.com[209.85.223.172]: 450 4.7.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Service is unavailable; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-ie0-f172.google.com>
But if I send an e-mail to pleblanc AT greengaroo DOT biz, it works. I googled more and many people have similar problems since Mavericks. Maybe it's a bug?
Anyone else has an idea?
EDIT: While I was writing and formatting this post, I suddenly received the e-mails I was expecting for one of my aliases... I will do more tests to make. I don't know what else I did that would have fixed the problem, or maybe it just took some time for the configuration to be applied, I don't know.

With the new iOS 7, in Mail I no longer see the count of emails, is there a way to make that appear?

with the new iOS 7, in Mail I no longer see the count of emails, is there a way to make that appear?

I stopped at the local Apple Store. Three salespeople heard my question and they agreed that the email count is not accesssible in iOS 7. Furthermore, it is not possible to control the number of messages held on the Apple device. It was possible in iOS 6, as one of the salespeople demonstrated. Since that is the case, what is the number of emails stored in iOS 7? If it varies, what determines the number that are stored? I do not want to set up an email account with 7000 to 8000 existing emails and wonder what will happen.

E-Mail icon no longer shows new mail in iOS 6 iPhone 4

I no longer get a little red number by the mail icon, telling me I have new mail and how many ( in iOS 6 for iPhone). I have to open to see if I have any mail. Wouldn't have to open if the red number still appeared. There must be something in settings like notifications (didn't see it there) that would turn this back on so it will work like it did in iOS 5. Any ideas??

I guess it needed time. The next morning it was working

Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

Read thier own support document on the subject then
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
That's how it works, and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

Is there a way to show only flagged email on iOS Mail?

I use Exchange 2007 at work with Outlook 2010. I also use my iPad to connect to my company Outlook Web Access. On the iPad I am able to mark a message as flagged. I use the flag on a message to indicate that there's some action that I need to take on the email. After I skim my inbox and flag all the emails with actionable items in them I go to my smart folder in Outlook which shows only my flagged messages so I can focus on those with actionable items. I noticed on IOS Mail there does not seem to be such smart folders and there seems to be no way to view only messages which are flagged.
Can someone please explain how to do this on the iPad. It is very important to me. In fact, it's so important, that I would switch to Windows Phone platform just to have this one feature.
Thanks!

I too would love to filter my inbox down to just flagged emails - I'm on iPad 3 with latest iOS, though it seems latest OS is not the problem, but rather a simple oversight in usability, and more important productivity.
On the note of productivity, why does it take SO MANY clicks to flag an email on iPad mail? Have to hit Edit > mark the email > Mark > Flag. I count three superfluous taps there. There should be a swipe action on the left (much like the swipe and Delete on the right hand side of the email heading) for flagging. And a simple little flag symbol at the top to hit when I want to see only flagged mails. Productivity should be the name of the game.
I also realise that venting in this forum probably isn't the best place for it...
