Mail Application and Secure SSL Connection

I am having a problem sending mail using Secure SMTP. Does anyone know if Mail can support using SSL over an alternate port rather than TLS? Downloading messages is fine over secure imap. Many thanks in advance. Ian
iMac G5 1.6Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Mail doesn’t support SSL on non-standard ports. Check the following thread for more information on this:

HT1277 How do I sync my college email that ends in .edu with my Mac Mail application and on my iphone?

Hello,
Can anyone give me some instructions on how to sync my college email, which ends with .edu on my Macbook running Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8) using the Mail application and on my Iphone 4S running IOS 6.01?

If your mail account ending in .edu is a POP mail account, messages will download to each device, unless you just view them with a web browser via the internet, so that all messages stay on the server.
If you want to sync devices and mail, you need to have an IMAP account.
See this for deeper description of POP versus IMAP mail accounts.

HT4906 is there any connection in photo stream and My Yahoo mail Applications and attachments

When is Photo stream and Yahoo mail Applications / Attachments going to allow me to empty my attchments into trash? / delete them

You will have to ask Yahoo - If you are using Apple software then that all works - I do not use Yahoo applications and have no idea how they work - support for them must come from Yahoo

Spontaneous trouble receiving mail from Mail Application and Web Mail

Hello,
Unfortunately I need some assistance. For unknown reasons, today at about 12 PM our in house email server (10.3.9) started failing to allow any user to connect to download mail. I have users running POP and other users running IMAP accounts that had the same lack of function.
When I connect using web mail I get the following error:
Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost. 61 : Connection refused
When I connect from the Mail application I get the following error:
The server "mail.mycompany.com" refused to allow a connection on port 110
 When I connect using the Server Admin program the IMAP and POP logs are empty despite being set to the “All events” setting, and the SMTP log contains the following message frequently despite still being able to send email from the affected accounts:
(temporary failure. Command output: couldn't connect to lmtpd: Unknown Error Code: 0_ 421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd_ )
I have restarted the server, I have run disk utility to repair permissions and made no intentional adjustments to the server in the last week. The last adjustment to the mail server I made was about 1 month ago to turn on IMAP authentication to allow me to switch from a POP to an IMAP email account.
Please help me figure this out!
Thanks in advance.

(PS I am a veterinarian, not an IT guru. I run my own mail and web servers because with Apple products, I can.)

Thanks for your assistance.
I found the logs and while there is a mail.log there is no mailaccess.log file.
There is a mailaccess.log.0.gz which I decompressed and I also decompressed the mailacess.log.1.gz.
The mailaccess.log.1 file contains entries from July 10th through July 11th.
The mailaccess.log.0 file contains entries from August 14th through August 15th (today). Seems like there was a long period that did not get archived correctly.
Here is a subset of what was in the mail.log from this morning:

Built in Mail application - GMail - secure?

Hi All,
I'd like to ask if I use the built-in mail application with the built-in Gmail account; If I connect to an open (unsecure) WIFI, is this communication secure? Does the built in account uses any security feature?
Basically is it safe to use it on open WIFI connections?
Thanks
Gergo

However, if the phone is using SSL/TLS (encryption) over an open/public Wi-Fi network, then the data is not going in clear text.
Google supports it for GMail, but I'm not sure if the iPhone does.

Open default mail application and attach the shortcut to it

Hi All ,
I have one requirement in which we need to open default mail application from SAP then create a new memo in it and attach the shortcut of one transaction in that new memo.
Can anybody please help me in the same ?

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

Have problems sending mail from a secure wireless connection. but ok from starbucks

I have several clients here at my marina all using different email providers and they all seem to have problems sending out mail from my secure wireless. They can recieve mail no problem. Now here is where it get weird. I added my gmail account to one of the problem iphones and same thing was happening, when i go to send out an email from my account on their phone it gets stuck trying to send mail. I compaired server setting on my phone to his and everything was that same, even turned off his server from fairpoint(the email he uses) and kept my gmail one and still couldnt send mail from his phone but worked fine on mine. Apple set up this individuals iphone/ipad so it make me think they did something when he had the accounts added. Any thoughts?

Apple Mail Application and Yahoo! Mail -- Rebuilds Constantly

Hi.
I am using the Apple Mac Mail client on my iMac and MBPR and connecting via IMAP to two different mail providers. One mail provider works perfectly.   Unfortunately, my Yahoo! mail box is very inconsistent in it's behaviour.
1. Many times I try to delete a message and it comes back with an error message saying that the mesage can't be deleted.   I go and try a little later and it works.
2. Probably even more annoying, is that it seems to get out of sync and has to rebuild the folder structure and download the entire mailbox from the server very frequently.   Yes, I do have many folders and some are big with 1000s of messages.   Is there a limit here, a known problem, or what.
Very frustrating not to have a seamless experience with the mail client and Yahoo!
Anyone have any insight into either of these issues.
Thanks.

No insight, but I have the same problem with Mail.app (Mountain Lion) failing to stay in sync with my AT&T/Yahoo IMAP account. Very annoying. Makes Smart Mailboxes useless. I must constantly resync manually. I have no such problem with my old MobileMe account on iCloud.
I gave Apple some Mail feedback about this. I have no idea whether it is an Apple or AT&T/Yahoo problem.

Deleting Mail application and re-installing

Hi,
I seem to have screwed up my mail application on my new mac mini, can I delete it completely and re-install the application from the install disk?

What gives you that impression? I suspect that most problems with Mail are actually due to issues in the Mail files within a user's home folder, such as "yourhomefolder"/Library/Mail.
can I delete it completely and re-install the application from the install disk?
That's difficult, but you may be able to do that with the Pacifist utility: http://www.charlessoft.com/

Deleted Mail Application and iCal Application

So I was trying to clean up my workspace and thought that the files I was deleting were merely icons. Turns out they were the real thing. So...How do I get them back? I tried to reinstall the disks that came with my computer, but they didn't come back (just turned Mail and iCal into "?"s on my Dock. I just got my computer a few months ago and this would be really annoying to continue. What do I do?
JP

You have two options.
1) You can start up your Mac from the included restore disks and do an "archive and install." This will reinstall the operating system and restore your settings, documents and applications.
2) You can use an application called Pacifist to extract the iCal and Mail applications from the install DVDs. This takes a bit of technical knowledge, but you can read about the process here:
http://www.charlessoft.com/Pacifist_Documentation/English/index.html
For future reference, don't delete things in the Applications folder unless you want to uninstall the application. As I'm sure you've learned!

Mail, Keychain and security risks

I had a problem with Mail (constantly asking for my password); to resolve it, I made a small modification in my keychain entry POP3. In my case, since I use "[email protected]", I modified pop3.live.com by changing its access control attribute. In the pop3.live.com, and under access control, I selected “Allow all applications to access this item”.
By doing so, my problem with Mail disappeared finally (I have tried almost everything suggested here over a long period of time with Snow Leopard and now with Lion). I concluded that Mail was not the only application using the pop3 entry. My question is: by changing the access of that entry, am I compromising my system security somehow? Thanks.

In two basic ways. The first are "well-behaved" Internet applications. These applications will only open ports when required, leaving them closed when not needed. The other are services like iChat or IM that requires the user to connect to servers via a secure connection.
Some additional ways to protect your LAN is to use a hardware firewall that not only protects against inbound traffic (like most NAT devices), but outbound traffic as well. You could also deploy a software firewall, on the LAN clients, for added protection.

GWIA and secure SSL

10.4.11 and secure wireless connectivity

Have G3 and emac running 10.4.11. These are capable of "WPA personal". I realize that significant progress in wireless security has supposedly been made, but it seems that newer routers (FIOS in my case) will not allow these older macs to connect even though I am willing to keep the WPA instead of WPA2 (which my newer macs are capable of).
Is there a way to do this or should I give up?
Also, since I use the 10.4.11 macs less than the newer ones, I don't see a lock next to a WPA personal network in the airport menu of the 10.4.11 macs, even though shows up as a WPA personal network in the network pref pane. Is it safe to assume that the lock icon was not part of 10.4.11?
I have all the macs running now on an older FIOS router, but I need to upgrade the router. I have a newer (not the newest) FIOS router that I have been swapping in/out and just can't get the older macs to join on the newer router
Thanks

You could get another wifi router to ethernet. Attach via ethernet to your new fios router. Note to do printer sharing and/or file sharing. all devices need to be connected to the same router. Unless, you are a networking geek and buy more expensive hardware. You can get to the internet from any router.

My Mac close the mail application and I lose all my inbox mails

I lose all my inbox mails and my others pop accounts configuration, the only I have is the folders I create, do you know if I can get back my info???
thanks for any help.

What’s the capacity and space available on your startup disk? Take a look at the comments about disk space in the following article, in case they apply to you:
Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space
Even if there is enough space available on the startup disk, for some reason that remains a mystery to me, Mail sometimes “thinks” it must discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one. As a result, all your non-Mac account settings (but not the messages themselves), which are stored in that file, are lost.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what’s it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), quit Mail if it’s running, and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, just in case something else goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. This is where all your mail is stored.
You have three options now:
(1) Restore com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
(2) Set up your non-Mac accounts in Mail again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
(3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may try moving the new com.apple.mail.plist out of ~/Library/Preferences/ (e.g. to the Desktop) and rename the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Since Mail decided to discard it, I would expect this file to be corrupt (I don’t understand why would Mail discard it and create a new one otherwise), but apparently that often is not the case and the settings can indeed be restored by just renaming the file.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.
