Mail app connection failures while using different WiFi network

I have four email accounts (hotmail, yahoo, gmail, and icloud) set up through the mail app that all work as expected while on my home WiFi network.  These accounts all fail to connect, however, whenever I am connected to my university's wireless.  The accounts have connected successfully on campus in the past, and broke around the time I upgraded to Lion.  What actions should I take to get my mail client up and running while at school?

This is an OS X Server:Mail Services forum
Are you connecting to an OS X Server?
If so, from that server, post the unedited output of the following command run from Terminal:
postconf -n
Also, try enabling SMTP Authentication in your mail client.

  • HT201413 trying to download rental film which was interrupted. tried different wifi networks. keep getting message that cannot download because network connection lost.any suggestions please

    I have recently rented a film from itunes for the first time and stopped the download. Every time I now "search for available downloads" - using different wifi networks - I get a message from itunes to say that the network connection was lost. I have tried from home and work and am at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions please?

  • Can we share music/apps within a family while using different iTunes accounts?

    Can we share music/apps within a family while using different iTunes accounts?
    Recently purchased iPhone 5 for my wife and I + my daugther has an iPod.  I'd like for us all to have separate iTunes accounts so we can each use iCloud without getting each other's notifications, but would like to have one central repository for mucsic and apps.  I'm afraid if I set up iTunes accoutn for the tow of them, I'll have to re-purchase the music and apps (way too many!)

    It can be done, but you will have to sign in to your account on her itunes to updated the apps. Try these instructions:

  • Mail app closes when not used for a while how fix?

    mail app closes when not used for a while how fix?

    This may also be due to the Sudden Termination feature built into OS X, which will effectively quit a process if the system is demanding resources. Mail can be a RAM hog at times, and if your system only has a few GB of RAM, then when other programs demand more and you have not been using Mail then the system will invoke Sudden Termination to quit it so more RAM is available elsewhere.
    Do you have only ~2-4GB of RAM in your system? Check for this in the About This Mac option in the Apple menu, and if so then consider upgrading to more if your system supports it. Alternatively you can try quitting other applications to free up more RAM.
    To see which programs are using the most RAM, open the Activity Monitor utility and choose My Processes from the drop-down menu. Then ensure Real Memory is checked in the View > Columns menu, and click this menu's title to sort the items by it.
    Keep in mind that sudden termination does not fully quit the program, so Mail may still show up in Activity Monitor when you open it even though it may be closed from the Dock.

  • TS2486 My mail.app got stuck while accessing mails in outbox. I was using ipad 3.Any advice?

    My mail.app got stuck while accessing mails in outbox. I was using ipad 3.Any advice?

    Okay, I figured this out.
    A podcast in iTunes was not downloading.
    Apparently, ios5 will only download one thing at a time and so it sets up a queue that must include all and any downloads: apps, songs, podcast, all of it. So, a tip to anyone with this problem look through all apps that have a queue of downloading items and clear them till you can get your system running again.

  • WiFi connections are unstable on multiple different WiFi networks

    Has there been any updates on the unstable WiFi connection issues with the Note 3? I have this issue with multiple different WiFi networks even though signal strength is not an issue when it happens. I picked up my Note 3 in August/Sept 2013.
    1. Work WiFi
    2. Home 2.4G channel and 5G channel
    From what I have searched so far, I am by far not the only person with this issue, but I have yet to see a fix or any kind of legitimate input  from Verizon on this issue.
    The issue even happens in SafeMode so I know its not an app that I downloaded that is causing this issue.
    Thanks

    Samsung is aware of the issue. The fix is supposedly with Kit Kat.
    They may suggest you going to a Best Buy mobile and have the software removed and put back on. Been there done that, didn't work.
    Sending a replacement out isn't going to help. It is a known software issue, and it will continue until there is a build that fixes the issue. IE: Kit Kat.
    You should have the MJE build. This software is the problem. MJ5 was no problem. If you get a replacement MJE should be on it, if not as soon as you put the SIM card in it will start to download it.

  • Mail app freezes after first use on iPad 3 and ios 8.1.  How to solve?

    Apple mail app freezes after first use after reset.  iPad 3 and IOS 8.1.  How do resolve?

    Hi, sixfinger.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try forcing all applications to close and restart the device.  Once this is done test to see if the Mail app functions correctly.

    I am using the wifi network at home but every time I connect I have to my wifi password. Is there a way to have my wifi network per-identified on my iPad and once it's detected the iPad connects to it without having to put my password again???

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • HT1206 I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple IDs. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when synchronizing iPhone with iTunes?

    I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple ID. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when sync iPhone with iTunes?

    Hi again,
    After a little further research, it appears that you would need to create separate iTunes libraries in order to be able to continue to purchase and download previously purchased items on the same computer, for two different Apple IDs. Sorry - but my husband and I have had the library we sync with authorized for so long, that we have not run into this issue, but it appears that you will get an warning when you try to authorize the second ID on the same computer, indicating that another ID is already associated with it.
    So, you will probably have to set up separate iTunes libraries for each ID:

    Sorry for any confusion - hope this helps!

    - Did it successfully connect to the network before?
    - Do other devices successfully connect to the network now?
    - Does you iPod successfully connect to other networks?
    - Have you reset your iPod?
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network connections: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Powered off and then back on your router
    - The troubleshooting here:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    -When you restored you iPod did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod?  If not try that.
    - If you look at the network properties on the iPod what IP address is assigned when you think you are connected but actually have no internet connection.  If it starts with 169 then the iPod never connected to the router, the 169 address are self assigned.
