Mail forgets the password quite a lot and usally the same people.

Does any else get this and know the answer? On occasions a user sometimes gets the message: The IMAP server “address of server.co.uk” rejected the password for user (name of user).
However once I re-apply the password in workgroup manager using the same password it works? Why is this and how do I stop it? as its getting a little annoying now. Thanks

Most likely causes (especially since you mention it happens to the same users):
-The account got locked because of mistyped passwords (can happen easily if a mail client has the wrong password stored.
-The account is still being locked by a POP or IMAP client. Can also happen if a user checks mail in very short intervals (see mailaccess.log)
Under these circumstances, even if the password is still correct a mail client may think it isn't.
Next time it happens: Instead of re-applying the same password in WGM, try to stop and start mail services. If the problem goes away it is a mailbox locking issue, if it doesn't we'll take it from there.

    Do you have the Contact Sidebar turned on in the Write window? If not, open a write window and press F9. Go down the list and select the contact or contacts for the message. Hold the control key while clicking contacts to select more than one. Then use one of the Add To buttons at the bottom on the sidebar to place in address fields.

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
      4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
      5. How to Recover Forgotten iPhone Restrictions Passcode | The iPhone and iPad Blog
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the
              Back Up option. If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary
              to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

  • Can't use iPhone and Mail at the same time

    When my iPhone is on I can't receive Apple Mail on my computer. I get an error message on the computer that says another client is using the mail (or something to that effect). If I turn off the iPhone the error message usually disappears on my computer allowing me to access mail. Is there something I can do so I can keep my iPhone on and also get Apple Mail at the same time?

    Never seeing this problem.
    Are you using a MobileMe IMAP account or another provider and account? Is problem when using the Apple Mail application in OS 10.4.11 on your listed G5?

  • Is CFMail and Mail (CFScript) the same?

    Is CFMail and Mail (CFScript) the same.... Reason I ask, is we are having a tonne of email problems in our application.  A person on my team has indicated that cfmail is more reliable and all the cfsript, "mail" implementations remain largely undelivered.  For this reason they are requesting the we change everything from mail to cfmail.   Has anyone heard ot this before?  I've got to believe that under the covers these are running the same bits of code...?

    Thanks

    lol, Thanks Adam!
    This is what he is observing...
    ---This issue lays outside our system.  Each mail sending mechanism results in a different SMTP message which gets routed differently.  We have issues with the reverse DNS lookup, the MX records, and other stuff.  If everything is correct and in place, it shouldn’t matter which mail mechanism we use in ColdFusion, but <cfmail> messages appear to be more successful in getting through.---
    I'm going to try and confirm the nature of the DNS issues and other stuff, but still can't see these even routing differently based on what you are saying. 
    Cheers

  • How can I create additional "Sent Mail" folders so that I can organize my sent mail along the same lines as the inbox? I use Mail v 4.5

    How can I create additional or sub "Sent Mail" folders so that I can organize my sent mail along the same lines as the inbox? I use Mail v 4.5.

    Thank you for your reply Don, but I had already gone through that procedure and it will only create new mailboxes for received mail. I want to create new mailboxes for sent mail, i.e. the first column being "to" not "from". Under the Mailbox menus there is an option "Use This Mailbox For" but all the options under that (including Sent) are greyed out. Unfortunately the View/Columns option to change from "From" to "To" changes all mailboxes not just the active one.

    for 1. If you mean the same Exchange org, no.
    For 2, it depends. You need a MX record for your receiving SMTP server ( At least, You *should* have one), but if sending to another org, not necessarily, as you could smarthost messages to it and a MX would not be required.
    Just curious, what problem are you trying to solve?

    Unfortunately it isn't possible. You have to select one at a time. You might want to add your name to the many that have requested this feature in the past.

  • On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

    On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to filter out Junk as you do on a Mac?

    I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.

  • Why can't I tell Siri "No" to stop dialing a wrong number? It's embarrassing to keep telling the same people over and over that I mistakenly dialed their number. Even if I yell "stop" or "no" it keeps dialing. Very frustrating.

    Why can't I tell Siri "No" to stop dialing a wrong number? It's embarrassing to keep telling the same people over and over that I mistakenly dialed their number. Even if I yell "stop" or "no" it keeps dialing. Very frustrating. Even very simple names. And I talk on the phone for a living. Which is why I need to use Siri to save me time. I speak very clearly. Because of this problem, I've had to even add special code letters before people's names to increase the chances of Siri getting it right, which is only about 70% of the time.

    That is not a feature of Siri. Submit your feedback requesting such a feature directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Note that yelling at the phone does not improve the chances that Siri will understand you.

  • I have 2 group texts with the same people, and i believe they are getting mixed up

    Ok, so I have 2 group texts. They have the same people in them. However, i am getting 2 peoples texts in one and 2 peoples texts in the other. And yes, ive already checked to see which one they were using and they are all using the same one, even the 2 whom im getting texts from in the different one.

    The messages don't stay on the carrier servers forever.   If your repair was longer than a few days you have no way of retrieving them.

  • Having multiple threads in ios 8.1 with the same people in a group message.

    When I send an imessage out to a group, some of the group responses will come back through a different message with all the same people. This just means I have 3-4 different threads in my messages with all of the same people. It's also difficult to read if I get multiple and check them at a later time because I have to see when they came through to piece the conversation together. Anyone else?

    Hello mollyh7,
    I would start with checking the your settings in Settings > Messages and as long as Group Messages is turned on you are good. But also keep in mind that if anyone else in the group does not have this enabled then it does throw everything off. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Need to identify the same people based on their (misspelled) names

    hello
    we have a table with persons and their name (first name and last name in 1 field) ;
    the names are often mispelled, so some string comparison is required;
    can you advise what the best approach would be to uniquely identify the same people?
    so far i have only found this functions :utl_match.jaro_winkler_similarity and SOUNDEX
    is there anything else 'out of box' i could make use of to implement the above?
    i appreciate any tips
    thanks very much
    rgds

    UTL_MATCH (either the Jaro-Winkler or the edit distance functions) would generally be preferred. SOUNDEX is a less sophisticated algorithm.
    In the general case, however, doing this sort of thing yourself is extremely difficult. There are commercial products out there that just help you do fuzzy matching on names. If you're going to build something yourself, you're likely going to spend a large amount of time trying to fine-tune the algorithm to try to balance type 1 (false positive, you match names that you shouldn't) and type 2 errors (false negative, you fail to match names that you should). To do it well will require a rather large number of meetings with users trying to figure out the appropriate balance of errors in your particular environment.
