Mail: com.apple.mail.exchange.serveroverload

My customer got himself a brand new macbook pro and transfered all the data he had over from a previous version of osx. I believe he is now 10.8 and was 10.7 but am not sure about that. Ever since then he has had problems connecting to both imail and icalander. The icalender must constantly have the ssl setting toggled off as it seems to randomly re-enable itself. That is not the main issue however, he constantly gets disconnected from his mail account. During these down times he can access webmail. When I recreate the profile it fixes the problem for around a week and then the problem returns. I have tried completely wiping all the accounts (he has several linked) and recreating them, but that has no affect. I have tried combing through all settings to no avail and have reduced the number of messages in inbox since below capture was taken. I am constantly seeing errors such as the title for this post. I will include the general errors below. Please help as I am out of ideas.

Any attempt to synchronize to the server again will spawn a few more of these errors.
I'll let you know what tomorrow brings

The problem is knowing what other damage has been done. For example, do Pages, Numbers and Keynote work presently. Is your Mail system working? etc.
I would put these items in a folder of their own, in the remote possibility they are needed. Then make a fresh install of iWork from the source disk. If Mail is not working, it may first be necessary to go further and refresh the OS, by booting into the Recovery partition.

Restore E-Mails without com.apple.mail.plist

Hello - Somehow my Mac crashed and my com.apple.mail.plist is empty - and if I open Mail it asked me to create an account. (like first time starting).
I have a backup of all my emails ~/Mail folder but i dont have a backup of the com.apple.mail.plist - is there any change to restore my Emails without doing this whole add new account thing?
Thanks

You should ask your ISP for your lost information about your account, create a new account with an empty mail folder. Then, quit Mail, exchange your empty ~/Mail by your backup folder and then reimport your mails.

Mail wont launch at all. Deleted this: ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Mail wouldnt let me send outgoing mail claiming there to be an error whilst there was an outgoing connection. So I thought to completely reset the entire app and found a forum that told me to delete something >_> And so I deleted this ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and now nothing will launch. And well. Nothing is backed up. Im an idiot. ;___; I just want to go back to my chalk and slate. TECHNOLOGY HATES ME. Please help me.

Hi Bill,
You could also try com.apple.helpviewer.plist (in ~/Library/Preferences). Have you noted whether this is system-wide or restricted to your user account? I'd create a test account (if you don't have another on your system) and try the help menus. If they're messed up over there, then fixing things in your user folder won't help. The only system resource I could find that seems remotely relevant is /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.helpdata.plist, but I'd be verrrry careful about messing around with stuff in your System folder.
Hope that helps!

After i had my hard drive replaced, i've gone to get my old emails and am unable to find them on time machine. The file com.apple.mail.plist isn't there. HELP!

Pretty sure this will be some sort of user error, but i'm lost.
I had to have my hard drive replaced, so before taking it to the genius bar, i backed up using time machine. I'd had issues with trying to use Carbon Copy Cloner previously so had formatted the external drive before doing time machine. TM seemed to work fine and copied what looked to be everything. Once i'd got the new hard drive in and went to restore everything, when i looked for the file i need to get to apparently get my mails back (Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist) it's not there.
Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

Turn Time Machine OFF temporarily in its preference pane. Leave the window open.
Navigate in the Finder to your backup disk, and then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume. If you back up over a network, you'll first have to mount the disk image file containing your backups by double-clicking it. Descend into the folder until you see the snapshots, which are represented by folders with a name that begins with the date of the snapshot. Find the one you want to restore from. There's a link named "Latest" representing the most recent snapshot. Use that one, if possible. Otherwise, you'll have to remember the date of the snapshot you choose.
Inside the snapshot folder is a folder hierarchy like the one on the source disk. Find one of the items you can't restore and select it. Open the Info dialog for the selected item. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you may see an entry in the access list that shows "Fetching…" in the Name column. If so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate. Then delete the "Fetching…" item from the icon list. Click the gear icon below the list and select Apply to enclosed items from the popup menu.
Now you should be able either to copy the item in the Finder or to restore it in the time-travel view. If you use the time-travel view, be sure to select the snapshot you just modified. If successful, repeat the operation with the other items you were unable to restore. You can select multiple items in the Finder and open a single Info dialog for all of them by pressing the key combination option-command-I.
When you're done, turn TM back ON and close its preference pane.

The .plist files are almost always preferences. I believe "plist" is short for "property list". It contains a list of keys (configuration options) and settings for each key, similar in some respects to the way the Windows Registry works, except that there is a separate file for each set of settings, instead of a single registry file as in Windows. In this case it's a shared settings file for Mail, but I couldn't tell you anything more about the contents.
You were smart to back it up. Usually .plist files can be deleted without signicant loss, because they will be recreated automatically with default settings. But sometimes they contain important settings that may be hard to set up again, especially if you had help setting up your computer in the first place, or have lost important details that you'd need for setting up an app, such as Mail. But sometimes the settings are trivial, for example the position and size of windows, etc., and do not contain settings you'd care about, which may be in another .plist file or in some other kind of file/database.

Many com.apple.mail.plist files in Library directory

I have 1,779 com.apple.mail.plist files in my library directory, all of which are dated September 12, 2010 at seemingly random times all in the PM.
These files are supposed to contain information about Mail preferences and account, right? Seems like way too many files.
Can I delete them?
Why was I looking at them anyway, you ask? Because I was trying to solve the problem of com.apple.quicklook.satellite errors in my log, went into the Library directory to delete the quicklook plist files and notices these mail plist files.
So, can I delete these?

I would delete them. Only one should exist, and it is located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. To access that folder start with:
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.

Com.apple.mail.drag

Hi all
I've been encountering an oddity and just took the time to look a bit more closely.
When an attachment is dragged from the body of a Mail message to the desktop. Then the user quits mail and logs out (multiple users environment) there is created a Rescued Items folder in the trash that contains a directory com.apple.mail.drag with the attachment inside.
Can anyone clarify what's going on here and how to prevent it ?
OS is 10.4.8 Powermac G5
Kind Regards Eric

Hi Allan
Ta. I'll follow up the article. Only other problem is similar but not the same. It occurs with word files which are problematic because they will not delete from the trash. This has only started recently and I thought it was confined to the two intel imacs we bought but has extended to others. It seems related to word art that people have taken to using and I'm upgrading all the machines to Office 2004 so I'm hoping that one will just go away.
Kind Regards
Eric

I use Go Daddy mail for work, and I can no longer receive mail to Apple Mail, no matter what I try. Help?

My work uses Go Daddy for our mail server at work. Up until 2 weeks ago, it was connected to Apple Mail using IMAP just fine. Then I stopped being able to receive mail to Apple mail or my phone. Completely. I've tried deleting the account and re installing, with SSL and without, different ports, everything. It just won't sync, and I can't receive mail whatsoever. It's tedious going through the browser at work, and even more not being able to get emails to my phone. I've even tried sending mail, and it shows like it's sending, then does not send. It happened out of the blue. Can someone help?

I tried something similar by adding a new mail account doing the apple id etc but it worked in that it would look for mail but no mail would come even though mail still goes to my phone I was loath to delete my original account just in case the new one did not work as well. So I guess I am a little stuck now.. I hope you can help me to sort it out.
Thanks

Can no longer send mail through Apple Mail

Starting yesterday morning, I can no longer send mail via Apple Mail. I can receive it just fine, but when I try to send, it struggles for a minute, then leaves the message in my Outbox. When I open Mail's "Connection Doctor," it says "Could not connect to this SMTP server"; it says this for all three SMTP servers I routinely use, including smtp.mac.com.
No other computer in my house has this problem. In fact, if I switch to a different account on my Mac and use Apple Mail with these same smtp servers, it works fine.
Needless to say, this is completely mystifying to me. Does anyone have any idea what's happening, or how to correct the problem?
Thanks.

Do my eyes deceive me? Am I dreaming? Could it really be true? Looks like Apple (finally) fixed this issue! Simply update your Mac to 10.5.5. It might reboot several times. That is normal. When it finally reaches the desktop open your Mail app and try sending. It should now work for you. I couldn't be any happier, after over a year without Mail it's finally working again! This is the update that everyone's been waiting for

My font sizes change when I send e-mails from Apple Mail.

My font sizes change when I send e-mails in Apple Mail. Sometimes the font style changes, too.
This is unacceptable, as I use my e-mail for business applications.
Any suggestions for a fix?
Thank you.

Before you do that I must warn you that also with PC is the same.
It's not the hardware nor the software that makes the difference, because e-mail must obey to certain rules that is RFC.
Maybe what you are looking for is a message that looks like a web page.
You can find something of that kind here.
http://www.jumsoft.com/stationery/
But again, the recipient e-mail could have little differences from the original that depend on many variables
If you are curious enough to know a little more about electronic mail you can read this page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email
P.S.
IMHO you already have the best in Hardware and software. It would be a pity to give away that gem

How do we transfer contacts and mails from apple mail and address book to Microsoft outlook on my mac

From Contacts, anyway (the new version of Address Book) you can export to a .abbu file and import then into Outlook. I'm not sure about Mail as I only really use Outlook...
