Mail fails where others succeed

I'm trying to connect to one of my accounts, which is based on my university's exchange server and deployed via IMAP. When I give the credentials to Mail, it fails each time, insisting that the account doesn't exist or can't be connected to or something. Worryingly though, using exactly the same settings, programs like Thunderbird and the horrible Entourage succeed with no hitch whatsoever.
I think the problem might be in the fact that the username has two backslashes ... possibly. Does Mail have problems with specials?
If anyone could possibly shed light on this I'd really appreciate it ... because to be frank it drives me barmy!

this same thing is happening at my company as of tuesday oct 10th. entourage vX and OS X's mail program will not allow users to check their email, its states their username/password is incoorect. all other users that run entourage2004 are fine. any advice ? we turned strong passwords ON at the domain level last week.

Urgent: client_ole2 fails where ole2 succeeds

I have a forms proc which works fine using OLE2 calls under Forms 6i, but which fails using CLIENT_OLE2 calls under Forms 9i.
All I did to upgrade the proc was a global search and replace ('ole2.' becoming 'client_ole2.').
The call which fails is:
client_ole2.invoke_num(v_ole_userproperty,'Value',v_ole_arglist);
I have recompiled both webutil.pll and my fmb using 'compile all' and rebuilt both.
This is urgent, so just in case webutil is now supported (!) I will also post on Metalink.
Please assist.

Hello,
I have found that when you pass a NULL value it fails.
So I had to modify my code to put a condition before writing into a cell for example to check whether it is NULL and in that case, I don't call the CLIENT_OLE2 function. Or you can also to a NVL(your_variable, ' ') that way, you won't pass NULL values to CLIENT_OLE2.
Hope this helps.

DMM Error -1074118625, PXI DMM 4071, 4065 fails where other DMM works OK

Dear All,
we are facing a problem with our DMM measurements. Both NI DMM 4065 and 4071 exhibit the same error:
NI DMM Error -1074118625: Volt-Hz Common Mode Limit Has Been Exceeded
We found a KB about this:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A593DEBFD86A69C68625727900748EEC?OpenDocument
and installed the ferrit choke as suggested in the KB. No success.
We then took a 3rd party Keysight dmm, and was able to measure without issues. Next, we took a handheld Fluke DMM, and measured without issues. We also tried with a low cost NI USB 6009, and measured without issues (Notebook was not connected to mains).
The connection diagram is attached. We have a PS APT 7004 powering up DUT with 230 VAC. DUT controls a 3 phase motor (i.e acts as an inverter), 320V. We measure voltage drop on shunt resistor on V and U lines (we mux). PS, DUT, PXI, DMM are all in one rack (tester).
I believe we must be doing something substantially wrong with the system setup, otherwise I could not explain the fact, that all other devices work, and the 2 NI DMM cards drop error during read. (we tried both soft panel and LV code).
I would kindly ask for any suggestion we might try out. Each help though is highly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Mark

It's possible that the sampling rate on the other devices is too slow to capture the transience. You could try adding a low pass filter to the circuit to get rid of the transience. I've attached a link to an example of such a filter.
Also check out this link on noise suppression. There is a circuit at the bottom that might be helpful.

For dbms_scheduler this ability is built-in from 11.2 and up. For EM jobs, you might want to ask on the Enterprise Manager forum here

When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been. How do I do this without the document changing?

When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been. How do I do this without the document changing?
I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

Database Mail Fails For SQL Server Agent Jobs / Maintenace plans - Why ?

Database Mail Fails For SQL Server Agent Jobs / Maintenace plans - Why ?
This has been a very common question I have seen relatedt to Database mail and I thought will post here so if you run into this issue, it could be due to one of the following and also have mentioned below how to get around them. Bottom line is datbase mail works fine with SQL Agent jobs and maintenace plans in SP1 on all platforms.
1. If you see this on 64 bit platform and on RTM build, this is a bug that is addressed in SP1.
2. If you see the below error message, it is known issue and this is because of design that requires SQL Agent to restart, if SQL Agent was started before enabling databasemail and setting a new profile. We are evaluating to change this design of not requiring to restart agent for our future release.
Re: 264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established
This problem will go away after restarting SQL Server Agent in this case. Thanks,
Gops Dwarak, MSFT

This may be related to the fact that DBMail, by default, shuts itself down after 10 minutes of inactivty. If the mail service isn't running, you won't be able to queue up any mail messages.
There may be a built-in mechanism for addressing this problem, but I found that I can detect this situation and start the mail listener before sending db mail. I use the following in stored procs that need to send email.
You could increase the inactivity period for db mail shutdown from 600 seconds to some larger value.  It might not make sense to do so, since shutting it down releases its resources back to teh system; if your SQL server only sneds mail infrequently, it might be better to start the mail listener on demand. Someone with more experience than I might want to add their two cents' worth. :-)
/* Check the mail engine. Start the service if is is stopped         */
/* -- the DB Mail engine shuts down after 10 minutes (of inactivity) */
/* -- this setting can be changed, but we probably don't need to.    */
DECLARE @rc INT
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM msdb.sys.service_queues
               WHERE name = N'ExternalMailQueue' AND is_receive_enabled = 1)

Mail Failed to Save Sent Message

Hello,
While attempting to send a message out today, Mail failed to save the message to ANY respective folder therefore the message was lost. There is nothing in drafts, sent, or saved folders that indicate that the message was actually sent.
I use AOL mail in the client software. The settings usually work, but there have been occasions where this has happened before.
Any inclination as to what is causing this? Is there anyway to recover that email that took TWO hours to compose?
Thanks,
-J

Hi J:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I had a very similar thing happens a few weeks ago. I attributed it to AOL (which I also use). In my case, I think the message was sent.
Recovery….. Do you use Time Machine? I looked in Time Machine when my message went missing, but the auto-save had not happened in the necessary time period so nothing was there. You could sign on to AOL on the web and see if the message is there someplace.
It is too late for you now, but if I am pecking out a longer E-mail (I type very slowly) I save a draft periodically. I started that after my experience above.

Shut down cancelled because Mail failed to quit

Since the 10.8.1 update - and continuing with 10.8.2 - shut down often fails and I get the message that "Mail failed to quit". Permissions have been repaired.
Any ideas?

Hi Otto,
There are many threads on this topic. I have contacted Apple a few times as well and have tried just about everything mentioned on these forums, with little or no help.
The last thing that I tried has reduced Mail's Quit time to about 50 seconds (not enough to abort a shutdown) where previously it simply refused to quit unless Force Quit. The trick in question: Unsubscribe from Apple's RSS feed (which is automatically subscribed to).
In addition, prior to the above change at various troubleshooting steps over several weeks I had also deleted all Notes, ToDos, rebuilt Mailboxes etc. Essentially I have eliminated all additional functionality in Mail, just so that I can use it to send and receive email without a glitch.
Take a look at these threads for some pointers:

Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

Mail Fails To Connect In My Office Network, Works on Reboot

This is baffling me and my network admin:
Mail fails to connect to any of my accounts at work. But it recovers if I reboot my machine.
Here is what happens:
- Mail works just fine at home. Connects to gmail, iCloud, and a 3rd party email account no problems.
- I get to the office
- I log in to the office WiFi with my password - for this I have to open a browser window, and enter my credentials.
(I kind of assume that this is the problem ^^)
- All my internet connections work fine, I can use the browser to access Gmail etc
- Mail refuses to connect to any of my email servers, and all accounts go offline
- Connection Doctor says "Mail can connect to the internet" but all individual connections are red, not reachable. I checked "detail" too - its empty.
Then I reboot my Mac, and after that everything's happy. Mail connects to my accounts normally, and Connection Doctor marks all as green.
Since it works on reboot, we can rule out network problems like closed ports etc. So the only thing I can think of is that Mail initially tries to connect as soon as I am on WiFi, then hangs (because I am not logged in yet), and somehow this hang is of a kind that does not recover (I've left it on for hours at a time, no difference, it never recovers).
Anyone have any ideas about this? Is there some way I can restart networking daemons to kill the hung connections. Or any other way I can diagnose this?

A captive portal, which is what you have, can work in any of at least three ways: by HTTP redirection, IP redirection, or DNS poisoning. I'm guessing that yours is the last type. In that case, a TTL of zero should be used. If the TTL is non-zero, then Internet applications may not work until the DNS cache is flushed. That happens when you reboot.
You should discuss the possibility with your network admin. If the network configuration isn't going to be changed, you may be able to avoid the need to reboot by flushing the DNS cache manually, as described in the article linked below:
OS X: How to reset the DNS cache

Logout has timed out because the application Mail failed to quit.

Hello world... (Mac world that is)
The message says more "Logout has timed out because the application Mail failed to quit. To try again, quit Mail and choose Log Out from the Apple menu."
I tried everything. Still does not let me shut down.
Other programs will not shut down at this time, including Finder. I also know that the Time Machine icon has been spinning for over an hour. So I imagine we are in a loop of sorts.
Unfortunately, I have had similar troubles before that I did not record. So I figure I start now and see if somebody out there can help me.
Peace!
Chopo

I'm having the same problem (can't logout, shut down or restart), but the referenced solution doesn't seem to apply. I do not get a "Cannot connect to server" message, I just get a "Logout has timed out" message. It seemed to happen after an automatic software update that was supposed to involve a restart, but it hasn't been able to restart since.
Can you please clarify, what is meant by "delete the AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary, which is located under the root node" (with reference to file loginwindow.plist)?
This is what the loginwindow.plist file looks like now:
bplist00Ñ!AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary¢ÒTPathTHide-/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HPEventHandler.app/Ò _N/Library/Application Support/Hewlett-Packard/Software Update/HP Scheduler.app//27
I was at the genius bar earlier, and they said I need to 'archive and install' in order to 'reset the OS'... but there's got to be a better answer than that, no? Perhaps this plist thing? I'm surprised that even powering off the imac doesn't reset anything... it just comes back the way it was. I'm supposed to bring the 25 inch imac in to the mac store for surgery (archive and install), but seeing several similar cases on this discussion forum, without archive and install identified as the clear solution, I'm in search of a second opinion... or any suggestion for how to simply make this work the way it was before? Is it 10.5.4 that is causing this? Should I go back to 10.5.3?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Mail fails to import messages after 10.8.5 update

After the update Mail fails to import my messages and then quits.
First screen says: Welcome to Mail. To use the new features your existing Mail messages need to be imported....
Then when I click continue it says: The import failed. An error occurred during the import. Make sure you have available space in your home folder and try again.
I run mail from inside the container (MacOS folder) and here's what it reads:
Last login: Mon Oct 21 22:39:50 on ttys001
/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail ; exit;

logout
[Process completed]
I have already reinstalled combo 10.8.5
I have already booted on recovery console and repaired permissions
I have already installed the Supplemental update 10.8.5
I have created another standard user and inside this new account Mail will work perfectly.
Nothing worked so far. Cherry on the cake : I have a message saying I have a recall on my MBAir SSD drive.
Please advise on how to solve this issue !
Cheers,
ZChef

Intermediate answer: The app launched correctly and the import process has started.
It is taking ages though. Over 3 hours for around 30K messages.
The message count sometimes gets stuck for 20-30 minutes or so and then starts counting again...
There are ~5K messages left to be imported. I'll let you know if it goes ok.
Stay tuned for the next and hopefully last episode.
Cheers,
