Mail connection doctor not working on Mavericks

Hi, I recently switched from OS 10.7.5 to Mavericks. I travel alot and often face poor internet connections, and I have come to rely on the connection doctor in Apple Mail. But since I switched to Mavericks, whenever I open the connection doctor, the buttons for the accounts NEVER turn green, even though they are obviously connected, because mail is being sent and received.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Mail Connection Doctor displays mirror accounts

I recently upgraded my DSL service. After the upgrade, I was unable to send mail through Mac Mail. I eventually got my mail up and running (though I'm not even sure how), but while troubleshooting the problem with Mail Connection Doctor, I discovered that I have two "mirror" email accounts. The first lists the account name as my name (which is how I have my email account configured). The second lists the account name as "mail.(me).com," which is my outgoing mail server. I only have one account -- it's a POP account through a hosting company (my own domain). If I open mail / preferences / accounts, I only have one account listed, so I can't simply select the second, superfluous account and delete it. The second account only appears in Mail Connection Doctor -- not in my preferences. I'd like to delete it because I think it may be causing some of my problems, but I can't figure out how to do it. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Txs, Jim, Your suggestion put me in the right direction. Under the preferences, I first set every outoiung mail server to "none" using the pop-up window. After restarting Mail.app, the problem persisted!
Next I edited the outgoing mail server list, *removing* all superfluous mail servers. After restarting again, the Connection Doctor only gave results for the only remaining account (the gmail one): a check for the incoming mail, and a second one for the outgoing mail server.
So, thanks to You, I resolved this problem.
Unfortunately, I had to remove all info of the outgoing mail servers of the disabled mail accounts. Let's hope I can remember them when in the future I slhould have to re-enable them.

TS3276 Mail Connection Doctor says: "Could not connect to Apple Server's STMP. As Verizon is my ISP is this the right STMP? If yes, how do I connect to Apple Server

When using Mail Connection Doctor two error messages come up with regards to sending and receiving mail from my @mac.com account.
The first one says that my @mac.com account: "Could not connect to this MobileMe IMAP server." How do I fix this? Is this caused by the way I have set my preferences? Is this related to joing iCloud? Or my ISP Verizon the problem?
The second one says in reference to my Apple Server: "Could not connect to this STMP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account perferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL checkbox in the Advanced tabe of Account preferences." This box was not checked. Two days ago these problems did not exist. Again, how do I figure out who to discusses these problems with?
Feedback is most welcome.

Internet connection does not work when Macbook wakes up from sleep

I recently installed MAC OSX LION. After that whenever the macbook pro wakes up from sleep, the internet connection does not work. I get a message 'DNS lookup failed'. I have to Turn off the WIFI and turn it back on every time. Has anyone come across this?

Same problem here. But I am afraid it has nothing to do with Safari because I don't even have Safari open. When it wakes from sleep, it has no internet connection and i cannot get me mail unless I shut wifi off and then back on. This happened back at the start of Snow Leopard too and it was something Apple eventually fixed.

E-mail notification does not work. PX12-400r

E-mail notification does not work. Test message fails, like everyone else. Is that possible? Someone else had this problem?

Hello gusev67
Have you tried with/without custom email notification (SMTP) settings?
Have you checked if the defaut or custom SMTP port has been forwarded to your px12?
Have you checked if your ISP is blocking SMTP ports for your connection?

IDVD is not working in Mavericks... what now?

I am very upset that iDVD is not working in Mavericks! I need the ability to burn DVDs for family who is unable to access the internet. Any patches or fixes available to make this software usable again? I am very disappointed that Apple would do this without warning users that previously purchased software would be incompatible with the new OS.

I am also having problems with iDVD under Mavericks. I have used iDVD for many years creating DVD's for family members and archiving our vacations. It worked great under Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion, but now Mavericks is a different situation.
I have two basic problems, (1) after importing the video I want to use, I play it back to preview and a small band shows up at the top of the screen that is not in sync with the rest of the screen. And (2) when showing a slideshow using standard jpegs there are color issues on playback. Help, I need my iDVD back!

When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

Bug (?) with Corporate Connectivity is (not) Working check

Noticed something odd. In situations where:
Direct Access client is offsite
their Internet access is via WiFi
they first have to enter their access credentials through a web-based captive portal before access is granted
then the Corporate Connectivity Check process malfunctions. Have seen cases where, after accessing the captive portal and being authenticated, Internet access works on the client. Direct Access then connects successfully. This is confirmed
on the server console, showing the client connected and the user credentials used. The client is able to access internal resources just fine (e.g. network drives on file servers).
But on the client itself, it still says Corporate Connectivity is Not Working. The WiFi icon is showing an exclamation mark. My belief is that this is caused by the client's inability to access Microsoft NCSI servers in a timely fashion.
So it looks like the corporate connectivity checks are dependent on Microsoft NCSI checks.
Can someone at Microsoft please look into this, as it is confusing our users (not to mention us guys in IT who have only just discovered this odd behaviour!).

Hi Steven !
Thanks a lot for your guidance !
After I followed the steps, I found that the time out occurs when trying to resolve the internal domain name.
The Windows Firewall was enabled on all profiles ( active on the public )
There were no IPsec sessions established in the Security associations tab, so I enabled the audit policy of the IPsec as per your instructions.
There is reoccurring error in the Security log :

As far as I understand - the connection can not be established due to certificate error, which in my case is strange since my DA configuration is set to not use computer certificates, only Kerberos.
I will keep digging but any additional tip/advice will be appreciated!
Thanks again, Steven!
P.S. Just noticed that the Event ID 4653 produce two types of "Failure Reason" - apart from "Negotiation timed out" I also get "No policy configured"

My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network , restarting iPad , ...

The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1. Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1
