Mail continually loses connection with POP server

I have Apple Mail configured to check two different POP accounts and one GMAIL account. On one of the two POP accounts, and on the GMAIL account, there is generally no problem. But for the other POP account, Mail continually loses the connection, such that often when I check Mail a popup box says:
"Unable to Receive Mail
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Ceccam” or try again.
The server returned the error: The server “mail.ceccam.org.mx” cannot be contacted on port 110."
If I open the connection doctor, it shows no connection with "Ceccam." Clicking "check again" does not help.
The only thing that works, is to close and then re-open Mail, after which it successfully connects to "Ceccam" and manages to check the mail there several times, before losing the connection again, after which I need to close and re-open Mail again. This is driving me crazy.
I have both of my POP accounts configured the same way in Mail. So why does Mail continually lose the connection to one of them, and never lose the connection to the other?
Can anybody suggest how to solve this?
Thank you.
PS This problem only cropped up after I upgraded to Mavericks.

The saga continues... my patience is getting very thin. I've spent hours trying to get this to work and am now naming the companies involved.
I since the issue might be due to the SIM card, I went to an Orange (the service provider) in question to get a new SIM. They gave me a new one in 5 minutes. On putting in the phone, all appeared to work for a while (I could makeand receive calls), then the phone reported "Invalid SIM". It found the network again on a reboot, then a short while later the message Invalid SIM appeared again.
A call to Orange said that the card had not been fully initialised. So I turn off the phone, Orange make some kind of tweak on their side, and tell me to turn on the phone again. It finds the network - but not for long, a couple of hours later, it reports "Invalid SIM" again.
Another call to Orange, who tell me the phone may be defective, it cannot reliably read the SIM card. Normally they would replace the phone, but since I bought it from the The Phone House, it's not their responsibility. So the phone house directs me to Orange, and Orange directs me to an Apple store.
Apple - you are my last hope.

I can't receive my incoming mail in Mac Mail. ESP is yahoo. Error msg says unable to connect with POP server. Any solution? I am able to get my incoming messages via yahoo website but not through the Mail app.

Try this, if it is not the correct department, ask them for the number or to be transfered..
Call 1-800-318-0612 for Login Help
Also on most autmated systems, if you hit 00000, or ##### you can sometimes get thru to a person.
Is Yahoo your Internet provider? Do you have a local provider? ei:AT&T, SBC, cable co, check who you make your check or epatment to...etc, If so I would start there, but if no joy go to the "Mothership"
I may be wrong about this, (it's been a long time now) I may have deleted my mail account from Mail (after writing down all the info from all General/accounts, and the rest of the tabs, and then added a new account using my existing email address, and it may have "walked me thru the rest of the proceedure".
But like I said it was a long time ago 3-4 years, but that may have been the path I ended up taking, make sure to write all the info down in case you need to re-enter it all manually. Then try calling them.
All the best

Just upgraded to TB 31.4.0 and it is no longer asking for password, will not download new mail but does connect to POP server. I can send (it asks for p-word)

Failure to download or allow sign in started with current upgrade.
Despite inability to sign in, I have access to all settings and address book.
I've "repaired" the inbox folder and checked the firewall settings. Connection to POP server is fast. Downloads for the last week or so (prior to upgrade) have been VERY slow...
Likely the solution is "simple", but I'm very much NOT a "software tech" kinda guy.... If you can help, please use small words ; )

Mail 1.3.11 (Panther) not connecting with POP server

I can send mail, no problems. However, to receive my mail I have visit my ISP's website to read it there. Apparently, Mail.app is not dating the incoming mail server which is leaving me with an empty mailbox.
I have gone over all the setting with my ISP so many times the support team recognizes my voice everytime I call. I have seen exotic fixes having to do with [~/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist] and such, but I'm reluctant to go messing around in there. How does one fix my problem without a Ph.D?

I don't understand your obsession with overstuffed mailboxes.
What are you talking about? As I told you in a previous post, Mail sometimes chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. This is a relatively common problem. It has absolutely nothing to do with overstuffed mailboxes.
The two servers are failing to connect.
This is wrong! And which two servers are you talking about? According to the activity information you reported, Mail is connecting to the POP server, but failing to download the messages it sees there for some reason...
If you want to mess with the contents of your ~/Library/Mail/ folder (which you said in your first post you didn’t want to do), there are a couple of things you may try as well.
For POP accounts, Mail uses a file within the account folder to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded. Deleting that file causes Mail to treat everything still on the server as if new and try to download it again:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
3. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash. Mail 1.x used MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to keep track of which messages had already been downloaded. Mail 2.x uses MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 for the same purpose.
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.

Mail is not connecting with pop servers

Question 1.- I have two email addresses that I manage with Mail. Both are POP. Suddenly Mail stopped connecting with both of them. I erased an account and can't set up the new one because it gives me an error message to check my user name and password. On the other hand, my iphone is working fine with both servers. Support people at one of the providers couldn't help me.
Can somebody help me?
Question 2.- When I set up my Prodigy account, it automatically shows as "Yahoo POP". Prodigy has nothing to do with Yahoo so, anybody knows why this happens?
Thank you!!!

Okay, now we're a bit further... I hope...
First,
Just tried and now I can't send anything from the server Tagra from my iphone either!! What a mess!! It's telling me the server does not allow relaying.
that's easy: You must be trying to send email with or from a different address (e.g. [email protected]) by using the Tagra SMTP server (mail.tagra.com.mx). Most SMTP servers don't like that and protest.
So, on your iPhone, go to Settings and the Prodigy and any other non-Tagra account, and make sure that not mail.tagra.com.mx but the correct outgoing mail server is chosen! Only your Tagra account must use Tagra servers, no other one!
For iPhone setup see e.g. this Prodigy iPhone setup.
That should work again.
Now back to your Mac.
Your trouble could be the result of some hiccup in a DNS server. So, you'll make one addition and one change to be safe. No worries, it's nothing critical, I'll try to explain here:
1) I guess the current DNS entry in your Mac (192.168.1.254) is your router's IP address, and in the router are DNS addresses stored. To be safe, please add in Network -> Advanced -> DNS under DNS server also these two numbers: 200.33.146.193 and 200.33.146.201, above the old number, and each one in its own line. These two are some of Prodigy's DNS servers. So, it should read now:
200.33.146.193
200.33.146.201
192.168.1.254
Okay! This will make sure that your Mac uses Prodigy DNS servers, no matter what's in your router, but the router stays in as well.
2) In Apple Mail -> Preferences -> Prodigy account, replace the mail server names in text format with their IP addresses in number format. It's the same, but avoids certain trouble with DNS servers.
For the Incoming Mail Server, make it: 148.235.52.179
For the Outgoing Mail Server, make it: 148.235.52.32
Again, it's the same servers, only in number format. And you can always change it back, only we have reason to hope that with the numbers it'll work.
All other settings incl ports etc must remain the same, e.g. the same as in the iPhone instructions.
Now close all apps, and restart the Mac.
And now try if Apple Mail works for your Prodigy account... I'm crossing my fingers...

PC laptop continuously loses connectivity with airport extreme

I use an airport extreme at home and an airport expresses to extend my network. I get perfect connectivity with my macbook pro but with my older Gateway laptop that uses XP, the connection comes and goes making it frustrating to be online with the PC. why is this happening on the PC and not the MacBook and what can I do to correct the problem?
Airport uses version 7.4.2, WPA/WPA2 Personal, 802.11n b/g compatible.
Gateway m505b2, windows XP HE 2002 service pak 3

Recently had a similar problem connecting a friend's PC to my network and thought I would post my fix in order to hopefully help others.
I noticed that everything worked fine when I disabled wireless security, so my problem was a security issue.
I re-enabled security on my router and copied down the first actual HEX key (key 1) instead of just using the password. Then, on the laptop with a Netgear wireless card, instead of selecting to type a password, I opted to use a network key and pasted the actual key, and it worked like a charm.
Maybe it has something to do with aftermarket network cards, but it solved the "network did not assign a network address" problem.
Hope I've helped and not given a useless answer.

Mail unable to connect with outgoing server...

Hi everyone!!
I've been having a problem with mail for the past week and i can receive but cannot send any mail.
Checking the connection doctor there's a message saying it "couldn't connect to the SMTP server" although i have the passwords set correctly on the account prefs.
What seems weird is that last week when i had the same problem, i reset the router and it was fixed, unfortunately it won't work now.
Any ideas please?

I've got exactly the same problem. My mail was working fine a couple of days ago. Now it won;t send mails. Not settings have changed. What could be the cause and how do I sort it? Anyone? Could you mail your reply to [email protected] as I'm about to travel for a while and will only pick up mails on i phone. thanks

Windows Mail will not connect with Comcast server

I've been getting the following error message all day today when trying to send/receive email via Windows Mail: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F I've verified that all email account settings are correct using Comcast George's post, and with two Comcast phone reps. I've disabled email scanning on my Norton 360. Nothing about my setup was changed recently. I have successfully received emails on this computer/Windows Vista/Windows Mail for years with no problem. First Comcast rep basically said "Tough, b***h" since I am able to access my email via Comcast's web site. She viewed the issue as strictly a Windows Mail problem. Second Comcast rep had me change all settings on my account, with no solution. Then said she would escalate the problem on up the line. Does anybody have any ideas on how to make this work once again?

I've disabled email scanning on my Norton 360. Are you sure it "took"? AV programs don't like being told what to do. ;-) AV programs are pegged as the most likely culprit when Googling on 0x800CCC0F. Upgrading to Windows Live Mail is often recommended, and I recommend trying a different email client as well, but my recommendation would be Thunderbird. MS email clients are famous for quirky problems. On the other hand, someone with a similar problem (on a Mac, so different error message) changed his password and things started working again. I'm a little skeptical about that, thinking that it might have just been coincidence, but it could be worth a try. To see if you're having the same problem, you could turn on logging in Windows Mail and post the log here. Tools|Options|Advanced|Maintenance|Troubleshooting. Click on the Store Folder button above the Troubleshooting section to see where the log file will get saved. Remember to turn off logging when you're done troubleshooting.

Mail can't connect to isp server. provider says it's an internal issue

mail can't connect to isp server. provider says it's an internal issue, mail is set up corectly.

Are connecting exclusively through IMAP or through POP? IMAP automatically stores all the e-mails on the server.
POP gets them onto your Mac. The advantage of IMAP, unless you desire, you are not downloading all the attachments to your hard drive, and bandwidth issues of downloading slowing you down with lots of large attachments are avoided. The other advantage with IMAP, you can try a web based e-mail to see if your e-mail program missed downloading everything. http://www.mail2web.com/ is my favorite web based e-mail. I recommend at least trying it to see if it will let you see your e-mail. Any custom folders will be invisible, but at least anything in your inbox should be visible and usable.
Are you using any other e-mail software for forwarding, such as gmail?

ITouch fails to connect to POP server STMP server is fine

The issues is this.
The hosting service has changed email servers and web mail application (something called "Smartermail"). I use the OSX SL with Mail 4.x on the MAC and my iTouch is ver 3.1.2 (using wireless internet).
There have been some minor and not unexpected hiccups in migrating from the old system to the new, nothing catastrophic (yet).
The domain and account settings (addresses, passwords, DNS) have stayed the same. All connections (servers) are of the same domain name so incoming mail (POP) is mail.mydomain.com outgoing mail (STMP) is also mail.mydomain.com, the user name is also the same for both.
I did have to change the SSL to off on both the MAC and iTouch in order to connect to the POP servers. Once that was done receiving mail wasn't a problem.
I did have some issue sending mail with the STMP server but that was solved by changing the port from the typical default(s) to one provided by the hosting service techs. These conditions were originally encountered and addressed on the MAC but as they say the "lessons learned", were applied to the iTouch as well.
This morning, I find I can't connect to the POP server on the iTouch, (message: Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server "mail domainname.com" failed.) However, I can send mail (STMP), download web pages and update weather - stock feeds and the like.
The last thing changed was the STMP port setting, yet I thought I was getting mail (on the itouch) even after the port setting was changed. Is the STMP connection confusing the POP connection? And if so what's the fix? I my be missing the obvious but I didn't see a separate port configuration on the iTouches mail set up.
Thanks for the help
Mark

More or less solved

(err= -3253) connection with the server was reset. (Windows XP)

I purchased a full album and am having trouble downloading three songs off this album from the iTunes store for Windows XP. The album is Draconian - Turning Season Within. Three of the nine songs off this album will not complete the downloads. It will get almost completely finished, for example: 11.1 MB of 11.3 MB, then it will start downloading the song again from the beginning before
reading: stopped (err= -3253). Then a dialog box pops up saying "connection with the server was reset. I wrote an email to support and tried all the suggested fixes, with no desireable results, including making sure my firewall allows access to iTunes and the iTunes store, changing the startup procedure in "msconfig", and running diagnostics on iTunes to check for connectivity, whick it says I have full connectivity to the internet. This is probably my last hope, that someone else has encountered the (err= -3253) message and can help me with it. This is also the third album I've purchased from the iTunes store and the first time I've had any kind of error message. Please help!

Seems to be a scam/rogue software.

technet in order to find solution.
ISSUE/PROBLEM:
At initial configured the SQL REPORTING CONFIGURATION to sharepoint integrated database (SQL SERVER is installed on seperate machine), change the service to Domain Account and also installed sharepoint add in on server story was fine at this point. Furthur

My point of concern is that whenerver i try to open the REPORT SERVER URL on project server machine it prompts me to enter username and password but whenever i insert the domain credentails it didnt accept though it can be accesible by using the credentials
of Local Admin of sql server machine. So i wana come to know whether its permission issue if yes then where i should mention the domain credentials.?
