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...

10.6.2 - Mail will not connect to POP servers

For the last few days Mail has refused to connect to my POP mail servers (provided by oneandone.co.uk). It displays the spinning circles next to the inboxes and eventually a warning triangle. I can connect to the servers via webmail and other devices, though of course this is not a viable alternative.
Do I have to reinstall Mail somehow? I don't see why going as far as reinstalling Snow Leopard should be required. I've tried numerous ports and authentication settings and nothing works.

Neither of those things would be indicated -- the applications do not contain the User Account setup info, anyway, and reinstalling would not change that.
Please click on Window in the menubar of the Mail window and choose Connection Doctor -- what does it report?

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 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.

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.

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

Well, I've never used this API but it seems 100% clear what's wrong. And 5 seconds with Google has revealed that there's a method on that class which looks like it will address the issue.
If you can't even read basic error messages, you should seriously question whether you should be programming.

Mail Will Not Connect

As of yesterday evening (September 12th, 2009), I have been unable to receive new emails into Apple Mail, and also was unable to connect to iChat. The second issue was solved by resetting to port 443, but after scouring the forums I have not found a similar fix for Mail that has worked for me. I have already tried restarting the computer, running software updates, and deleting the mail preferences from the library -- this last one worked until I tried to set up my accounts again, at which point I received this message:
"The Mobile Me IMAP server "mail.mac.com" is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable."
If this is the case, that the server is simply unavailable at this time, I'm willing to accept that. However, I'm receiving a similar message when I try to set up my gmail account, and I am inclined to believe that both servers have not gone down at the same time.
I don't care about loosing old emails by setting up the accounts again and starting fresh, but I don't seem to be able to receive mail that way either. Is there anything else that I can reset in account preferences? Should I perhaps try a manual setup for the accounts?
Thank you--
--Silvertrumpeter

I do not believe that this is a password issue. After watching the Activity window and the Connection Doctor, I got a message suggesting that I turn off SSL and try again. So I did, and watched the Activity and Connections windows again, with the same result. The Connections Doctor window tells me this:
"Connection Status: Mail was able to connect to the internet."
But next to my mobile me account name is the red status light, and the message that mail "Could not connect to this MobileMe IMAP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the account preferences." Now, since this was all set up automatically, I'm guessing that I have not entered any incorrect information, but if anyone knows exactly what it should say, I'd be grateful to have that information.

Mail doesn't connect to any servers anymore

Hey all - over the weekend my Mail is suddenly not connecting to any of my email servers. I have a 123-reg account, squirrelhosting, and a couple of hotmail accounts - so a variety of POP and IMAP. Mail is not connecting to any of them and is giving me "The server “xxxxxxxxx” cannot be contacted on port xxx.
All of the email accounts are accessable via webmail. They also still work on my iPhone.
I have tried:
- Disabling SSL
- Using alternate SSL ports (993, 25,465)
- re-creating accounts (I tried adding a brand new Hotmail account and that still won't connect)
- deleting the V2 folder
- deleting com.apple.mail-shared.plist
- deleting the MailData Envelope indexes
- flushing the DNS Cache
- Reparing Keychain
- Verifying/Repairing Disk Permissions
- Creating a new User and trying new mail accounts in there
I've pretty much exhausted all my ideas and wanted to see if anyone had any ideas before I give up on Mail and migrate to Outlook/Thunderbird.
Many thanks in advance!

After 6 months of support and Mac engineers in the States trying to solve this issue on a new 27 inch Fusion drive, the soltion was simple!
Please add the following DNS Addresses in the advance section of the ethernet and WiFi interfaces in Network preferences.

The MOF Compiler could not connect with the WMI server

I am trying to add node2 to SQL cluster (2008) However, I kept running into errors with the following error message:
"The MOF Compiler could not connect with the WMI Server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such as the failure of the WMI Server to start".
I checked on the WMI services, they are started and running.renamed the WMI repository. but nothing worked .
Any idea what settings I need to change in order to ensure a successful instalation and add node 2 to sql cluster.

Hi,
Did SQL Server failed during installation and you somehow brought services online. Or it failed and next time you executed it succeeded IMO this error pops up because of remnants of failed installation on Node 1. With cluster specially if Installation on
node 1 fails you should uninstall completely and remove all files related to SQL Server and then proceed.
Have a look at below connect,see workaround and information posted by MS

Digital Editions could not connect to activation servers

ADE will not connect to activation servers with either the computer or my Sony ereader. Tells me to check internet connections. They are fine. Any ideas?

Found this on a public library site so maybe you should uninstall ADE and reinstall with the kobo in. I think you need to activate both the computer and the device
before you download or borrow anything. I think the trick is to activate the device before downloading but as that's too late reinstalling then activating might work.
First things first, you should plugin the Kobo before attempting to install ADE. It won't authorize the device properly unless it is already there.

Itunes can not connect with the Itunes store

Every time I try to connect to the ITunes Store an error pops up : Itunes can not connect with the Itunes store. I have downloaded the updated software and have access to the internet. Anyone ever run into this problem?

Safari Does Not Connect with My Domain

Safari 5 (as well as Firefox) will not connect with my domain (gorvray.com) But, my handheld (Droid) connects just fine. Cute for Mac FTP, FileZilla FTP and Yummy FTP all will not connect with gorvray. But, net2ftp connects just fine. I have repeatedly cleaned the cache in both browsers, including using Washing Machine, to no avail.
All this trouble started with the internal FTP on an application automatically insisted on setting my URL as gorvray.com/gorvray.com. I attempted a work around, and it has been all downhill since. I installed a backup of my website from two weeks ago. I thought at the time that it had disappeared. I realize now that it had not.
Does anyone have an idea of what is going on?

All three URLs you offered work fine for me.
Try Open DNS:
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
