Mail app won't work with my university proxy

Dear all,
I have a problem with the mail application on Lion. I'm behind a proxy server in my university and all other applications such as Safari, Chrome and Skype works well with this proxy when I have configured it in system settings.
Mail application, however, never works. It looks like exactly when I'm completely offline and have no internet access. This is not something new on Lion and I had the exact same problem when I was on Snow Leopard. I wonder others have a workaround for this.
Some more information: Proxy server works on port 50 with authentication.
All the best,
Arman

some updates on this issue, Mail application uses the same proxy that has been set on your system (system preferences==>Network==>Advanced==>proxies). People usually use HTTP/HTTPS proxy for surfing the web. You should make sure to set SOCKS proxy as well. Mail application works with SOCKS proxy. Note that port number for SOCKS proxy is usually different from the port number for HTTP and HTTPS but the IP address of your server (apparently) is the same.
Hope this helps

Mail.app won't work properly after installing Yosemite

My "new viewer window" in Mail.app won't work after installing Yosemite. I can not access the viewer window and thus none of my email.
How can I fix this?

Ipod Classic 80gb won´t work with apple universal dock and remote

I own 2 ipods a 5th generation 60gb and an ipod classic 60gb. I've just bought an apple universal dock with remote and the original apple component and composite AV cables. I connected the universal dock to my TV via the composite cable, with my ipod 5th gen I can watch videos on the TV and control the ipod with the apple remote but when I connect my ipod classic to the universal dock it will charge but I can´t get any video out or control the ipod with the remote. It's as if the ipod classic doesn't recognize the universal dock and it keeps showing the connect the video accessory screen, even when i tried using the apple component AV cable. I dont think the problem is with the universal dock because it works fine with my Ipod video 60gb, but with my Ipod Classic 80gb the remote control and video out won't work at all, i can´t even control the playback of audio playlists. Does anyone know why that is happenning? Please help me!

I have the Classic 80gb also...same probem. I retuned the Apple Universal Dock and purchased one that was half the price. Pluged it in and it works perfectly! So my advice would be to save some money and get products that work.

Apple Mail App won't work for Yahoo Mail

About two months ago I switched from using the Yahoo web interface for my Yahoo mail to using the Apple Mail App. (Yahoo changed their web interface and I didn't like the new one). The Apple mail app worked fine until 2 days ago. I couldn't get new mail or send mail. It appeared that mail could not connect to the Yahoo mail server. I killed mail and started it up, that didn't work. I took the account offline and then back online and that didn't work. When I tried to do things like delete mail that I had received before the problem started Mail appeared to hang and I had to Force Quit Mail. Finally I deleted the email account from mail and then tried to recreate it. Now I can't recreate the account via the normal mail process of creating an account.
I have a MacBook Pro which I bought about 4 months ago. I'm on OSX 10.9.1. I'm using Mail version 7.1 that came with the MacBook Pro.
So I am back to using the Yahoo web interface, that I really don't like. BTW my mail works fine on my iPhone.

Well, Mail crashed. Then the WiFi I was using went down (I'm at a Texas State park and the power failed) and I switched to using my iPhone as a hot spot and it suddenly connected. Could the problem have been the Texas State Park router?

Lion Mail.app won't sync with Exchange 2003

Hello,
After upgrading to Lion, I am having an issue with my Exchange email in Mail.app. I get new emails, however if I file any emails from the Inbox into another folder and then leave view another folder or exit Mail, when I return the emails are back in the Inbox again. It is as if Mail is not syncing my changes up to the Exchange account.
This issue did not begin until I moved to Lion. I have compared my settings to another co-worker, who is also on Lion and connecting to Exchange 2003 and everything appears to be the same.
Thoughts? Solutions?

RevRangwar,
Yes, I think I was. I went ahead and removed my Exchange account from Mail and re-created it as Exchange IMAP, and it appears to have resolved the issue.
Thanks for the help.

Mail App Won't Rotate with screen...

Whenever I use The mail app, the screen is always horizontal...
Is this part Of iOS 6, or is my iPad not working correctly?

Hold down the power button on your iPad until it has a slide switch saying "Slide to Power Off." Slide that switch and let the iPad power all the way down. Now hold the button again until the Apple Logo appears and let the iPad turn back on. This usually solves rotation issues.

What apps won't work with maverick?

i am about to update to Maverick, aere there any apps that won't function with Maverick?

It is far from a complete list but http://roaringapps.com/apps:table is a good starting point. It should not be considered 100% accurate.
Uninstall any and all "anti-virus" or "cleaning" apps that should not be installed on any Mac, and back up your system as a precaution against the unexpected. Merely having a backup seems to preclude the need to ever require one.

Old apps won't work with Leopard

OK, thinking this would work out alright, I bought and installed Leopard on my eMac. I knew that my machine just met the requirements to run it, but I figured I could live with a sluggish machine for a while. I upgraded the OS from 10.2.9 which ran everything fine of course. Now after installing Leopard, a number of my programs (Photoshop 7, Appleworks 6 to name a few) will not open without crashing. And I've also had problems with the Mail 3 program. It opens, I can get mail, but I can't send mail. The send button doesn't even rollover so I can try to send. It just won't let me send.
At this point I'd be happy to just reinstall 10.2, but I can't figure out how to do that either...the 10.2 disk won't start up the installation process, it just says it needs to restart the computer and then brings me back to my regular login screen. What in the world can I do to fix this?

How did you install 10.5, via Upgrade Install or another method?
If you have a good backup, your best bet may an erase & clean install of Leo. You are dragging along a lot of old baggage.
You also should be able to use Setup Assistant (which IMO works better before an admin user is created) or migrate by hand and install the apps you need to re-install.
PS 7 will not run on 10.5
If you really feel you need to re-install 10.4, you should erase and reformat your drive before installing 10.4.x

DVD Player app won't work with Snow Leopard

I installed Snow Leopard recently. I tried to watch a DVD with DVD player. It wouldn't work. I got this message in a box: "You can't use this version of the application DVD Player with this version of Mac OS X. You have DVD Player 5.0.3."
I looked for a recent DVD player update/download and could not find one. Same with Snow Leopard updates...
Does anybody know the fix or the workaround?
Thanks,
Estel Dillon

HI,
Download and install the 10.6.2 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
Then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
In the future, when updating system software, click the Apple Menu  /Software Updates. If that doesnt't work then go here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and use the standalone installers.
*The DVD Player application is not available to reintall from the SL disc*. If after the suggestions above haven't helped, then back up your important data before you do anything, then reinstall Snow Leopard.
You can reinstall the following apps from your SL disc.
Address Book
iCal
iChat
iTunes
Mail
Oxford Dictionaries
Safari
and X11

PowerPC apps won't work with Lion

I have an application that is no longer working as the message says Lion no longer supports ower PC apps?
Is there any work around for this?

Find an update for the application, or find a newer application doing similar work.
The app that is giving the most people fits is Quicken. Other than running Quicken for Windows in a virtual program (like Parallels) (which I already do), there are no really good alteratives to Quicken (not that Quicken for Mac was ever any good to begin with).

Mail & Calendar won't work with Mavericks

1. I open Mail in Mavericks and cannot see any of my new or saved emails from my Gmail account.
2. When I try to open Calendars the screen briefly flashes and Calendars will not open.
Is there a fix for these issues?
Mavericks seems to be a waste of time, my Mac Pro worked fine with Mountain Lion and now I seem to have a very buggy system.

Apps won't work with new software

I just updated my Ipad 2 software to new IOS 7.0.4 now none of my apps work like Netflix and some game apps. What can I do? Is there a way to go back to the old software?

It's not possible to revert to a prior iOS.
Delete the Netflix app then re download from the App Store.
Same for the game apps.

Mixradio App won't work behind a web proxy?

Hi there,
I am a Mixradio+ subscriber using Windows 8.1 Pro (Update 1) on a desktop computer. The Mixradio store app doesn't seem to recognize my Windows proxy settings. Everytime I try to sign in, I get an error window saying: Sorry, there's no data connection right now. Please try again later.
Everything else on this computer, both desktop programs and store apps, can perfectly connect to the Internet using the proxy settings configured on Windows.
Am I missing something or is the app in the need of an update?
Regards,
Eadbhard

Good day, eadbhard.
How's your Mixradio app doing? Is it working fine now? By the way, is this the first time you're using the MixRadio app on your Windows 8.1 Pro (Update 1) desktop computer?
We hope to hear from you soon.
