Mail issues with Mavericks

I have just installed Mavericks on my MacBook Pro running OSX version 10.9. I am now unable to view and open incoming mail. From the menu I can create a new message.The icon indicates that mail has arrived into the mailbox. When I click on the 'Mail' icon it brings up the menu bar only.

Mac mail issues with Mavericks?

Recently, I have downloaded and installed Mavericks OS. I have an intel based Imac and use Mac mail as my mail client. I have cable internet thru Cox.
When I try to forward an email message, I can't seem to be able to input an address from my contacts list. I used to be able to just double click the address in my contacts list and it would go right into the address box on my forwarded message. Now, that doesn't happen. Anyone have a similar proble or solution?
Thanks, barry

Try deleting all old unnecessary emails in Gmail. I had a sync problem (new emails would never show up) after upgrading to Yosemite. Finally deleted 4000 old gmails and now it works.

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.

I use an older Macbook Pro from 2007 with OS X 10.7 – had issues with Mavericks, so I uninstalled it. I want to get a trial version of AE CS6 but I need to know the specs for it.

Canon pixma mx922 compatibility issues with Mavericks?

Thinking of getting canon pixma mx922. Any body had compatibility issues with Mavericks?

Go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 for a list of printers that are still supported.
If you don't see the printer, check Printer software no longer available through Software Update.

HT6030 Sound output issue with Mavericks

There is a sound output issue with Mavericks and Firewire800 Audio devices. I am using a MIO 2882 but now people are having issues with other devices as well. Is this something that will be addressed in an update? If not I will need to downgrade my OS.

maybe the adapter went bad.....fast. try getting one thats made by sony. or apple. i have had bad luck with some cheap products i bought.
or maybe thats the brand you have ad luck with. i remember when i use to get some quantom fireball drives, and they just died on me the next week. im down to two and keeping a good eye on them. especially fujitsu. the only ones i have GREAT LUCK with are Seagate and Western digitals drives.

Issues with new Maverick Mail, issues with new Maverick Mail

Everytime I use Mail a window opens asking me my password for my Icloud account.
This started after I installed the new OS X Mavericks.

Hi there,
We have similar problems plus many more. We have spoken to repair company's who will not take the job on now as they know they cannot fix any issues with Mac updates.
The lattest fix has not fixed my mail issues since the last update either!
Its a shambles and all my settings are correct, we have checked them three times but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone who of a reliable mail program for mac? Im having to use my PC mail program now as Mac are so slow to repair there mistakes. Its costing our company thousands in downtime with the disruptive updates. Our Iphones dont work properly since thier last update either. One would have to ask whats going on with Mac? No preplys from there so called helplines.
WHATS MAC GOING TO DO ABOUT IT???

Mail Issues since maverick upgrade

Since upgrading to Mavericks I have been having the several issues with Mail. The are as follows:
Scrolling is available intermittently or not working at all (using Magic Mouse)
Problem: Scrolling works for a while when using mail, then stops working. I have to click on the side bar to go up and down on all scroll screction within mail. This issue only resolves when quitting Mail, and sometimes will only work again when shutting down and restarting my iMac.
Scrolling on folders withing the main body of my iMac also stop working from time to time and only resolves when force quitting finder, or restarting my mac (or somethime shutting down and restarting the mac).
Email address pull down menu does not close down
Problem: When typing an new email and selecting an outgoing address the pull down menu appears, but once an address is chosen using the mouse curser the pull down menu remains on screen and does not close down automatically. I can not close it with teh mouse curser and have to use the keyboard (return or tab buttins) to close down the drop down address menu. It used to close down prior to Maverick upgrade. The pull down menu remains on screen blocking access to the CC and Subject sections.
Saving Mail attachments to desktop folders does not work.
Problem: Saving attachements from mail does not work at all using the drop down menu within mail. The process of using the save attachments menu within mail seems to work, but when you go to the folder after using this process, the item or items have not been saved.
Click and drag is the only way to move attahcements from mail to desktop folders now.
Mail will not quit automatically when shutting down Imac
Problem: When shutting down my iMac, mail will no longer quit automatically and prevents the shut down. Once shut down has been selected, Mail will no longer quit and I have to use Force Quite to shut it down.
Would welcome suggestions on how to resolve these issue.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Mail issues with Apple's Mail

I was using Outlook Express to send & receive mail. And then (because Outlook Express has been giving me fits with errors and needing to put my password in every time I wanted to use it) I switched to Mail (the one that came on my Mac).
And now, with Mail, something crazy is happening on my iPhone and iPad. It showed that it was downloading and downloading and downloading, but I don’t know what it was downloading. Archived stuff? Everything that is in everything in every folder on my Mac?
Then it stopped downloading stuff, and now it won’t send, I get an error saying that it Cannot Send Mail.
I tried to delete my email account from settings so that I could start over, but the gear just spun and spun for over 30 minutes.
I have no idea what is going on, but I think that it must be connected to the fact that I switched from Outlook Express to Mail.
Please, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

Outgoing Mail issues with snow leopard

I know this has come up before, but randomly Mail cannot send outgoing email. Fails to connect to outgoing sever. I'm at 10.6.6, and don't want to update because of font/pdf issues with 10.6.7. I have mac pro 2.8 quad. A friend who has updated to 10.6.7 has same problem with Mail. Last computer using Tiger was perfect. I've tried all fixes, and issue still occurs randomly. Can't apple patch this without a major update? Does apple read discussions and act on them?

Not sure what, "I've tried all fixes" includes so try here.

Scanning Issue with Maverick and Office Jet Pro 8600

Just wanted to add my voice to the numerous problem reports. Specifically:
1) I could scan just fine until I upgraded to Maverick (Mac OS 10.9)
2) to address the problem, I downloaded the latest HP drivers for 10.9-didn't help
3) Tried to use the separate HP Scan application-no luck; couldn't fine the computer (even though I have been printing regularly)
4) Based on the HP problem solution posting (which seems a bit out of date), tried to uninstall the software and reinstall; the uninstall would not complete, although it did delete all of my printers.
It appears that it is finally time to abandon HP for printers, if they can't keep up with Apple's releases.

Hi amaltz,
I understand you are having an issue with the scan software working with Mavericks. I can't help you with this. My suggestion is to completely remove all HP software from the computer and reinstall. Follow the instructions below to resolve the issue.
Scrub
Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
Hold down Control, Option and Command
While holding the three buttons down, Click uninstall.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions (I know many of you have done this but because we have now done a scrub it is good measure to ensure non of your permissions differ)
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
Restart the computer.
Now you will have a fresh start and be able to reinstall the software. Please let me know if this resolves the issue you are experiencing. If it does not, I will gladly follow up.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

Are there any compatibility issues with Mavericks and EMC Celerra File shares, particularly with the SMB protocols?

Our company uses a EMC Celerra file share, but most of our users are Windows based. We have a small production department of 7 macs. Starting with Snow Leopard, we noticed some issues with SMB. We were able to resolve those issues, but had to wait to upgrade to Lion because there were additional SMB or permissions concerns with the Celerra file share and Lion. Now, we are again waiting to upgrade to Mavricks because of the way it handles user permissions. Does anyone using Mavericks now also connect to a EMC Celerra file share? Thanks!

HELP: Mail issues with Leopard

I have been having an issue with Mail since I upgraded to Leopard. I am getting the following message when I wake my Mac from sleep:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “[email protected]” or try again. The server error encountered was: The server “mail.mac.com” cannot be contacted on port 143.
Does anyone know why this might be happening? Mail seems to work fine otherwise...

I had update problems with my PowerBook G4 as well. In my case the update stalled at Writing Package Receipt-it was installing 4 packages so I am not sure which one failed-but about this Mac showed 10.5.2 version-however the receipts were not anywhere -either in Software Updates/Installed Updates or in Library/Receipts/boms or in Console Logs-therefore, I concluded that the Update was only partial. I was unable to update it to completion using the independently downloaded Combo updates. So........., I restarted with the install DVD and did an Archive and Install (it reverted back to 10.5), then ran Software Update. It installed 7 items some of them relating to iTunes, iWork, iLife, QuickTime etc, including the combo 10.5.2 updater. It took an hour or two but everything finally installed. After that I ran Software Update again and it installed the Graphic Update. Now everything is fine except Permissions Verify/Repair takes quite long.

Outgoing mail issue with my domain

All right I'll lay it all out in as much detail as I can...thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
OS: Tiger 10.4.7 (latest security updates)
Mail ver: 2.1
I have three e-mail accounts: gmail, dot mac and my own domain.
As of right now, I can send outgoing mail through my gmail and dot mac accounts. My domain mail is dead when trying to send through Mac Mail.
Gmail settings:
SMTP: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
SSL: On
Auth: Password
Username: (myaddress)@gmail.com
Password: (mypass)
Dot Mac settings:
SMTP: smtp.mac.com
Port: 25
SSL: On
Auth: Password
Username: (my username)
Password: (mypass)
Domain settings:
SMTP: mail.(mydomainname).com
Port: Tried 25, 587, 110
SSL: tried both on and off
Auth: tried none and password
Username: Tried just my username and tried full with @(domainname).com
Password: tried Webmail pass and control panel pass
Again, I have no problems sending with the other two accounts. But I get "could not send message using server mail.(domainname).com" error message. This after the spinning wheel for about 30 seconds.
Now, both the incoming and outgoing server are mail.(domainname).com. I can receive messages through the account just fine. And I can send mail through my Webmail setup at my domain name, too.
I contacted my host (iPowerweb) and they set up a test account and said they are not seeing smtp issues, either.
I recently switched hosts and I was having the same issue with the previous host, too. In fact, I used to be able to send e-mail through my previous host with the same domain, but it just quit working one day.
I do not believe it is a port issue as I am able to send on both 25 and 587.
Previously I just accepted that I wouldn't be able to use Mac Mail to send through my domain. But I am unwilling to accept that fact anymore...
Any ideas folks?
Again, thanks...
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Typically, Port 587 would require at least Password Authentication -- using None as Authentication would not be expected to succeed. If None is the correct setting, then Port 25 would be the necessary Port.
The fact that accounts in the same domain work, is not definitive, in my opinion, since it might be permitted without Authentication, whereas other sending activities might not.
Without regard to blocking, sending with a third party SMTP involves establishing "trust", and trust is either established by Authentication, or by being identified by the venue where your ISP can ensure you are trustworthy, and this typically must require the use of Port 25.
The change might be that as a Spam fighting measure, your ISP has only just now required authentication on Port 587, although I think this has already been nearly universal.
