Mail logs out of server when imac sleeps

Mail logs out of the server when computer sleeps

system preferences, security and privacy, general menu, unlock the lock and click on advanced.
Set the automatic logout to 999. That's 999 minutes to automatic logout.
Only do this if you really don't want auto logout. Like when you're doing a crypto-quality erasure of a backup hard drive or backing up to a blank hard drive (can take several hours for first backup).

Does logging out of Firefox when you're not using it save energy?

Have been reading about how much energy servers consume. If I log out of Firefox when I'm not using it, does that decrease the amount of energy servers are using?

If you've never replaced the hard drive, it could be slowing down - 3 to 5 years is the typical lifespan for a notebook hard drive.
Do you know how much RAM is in the computer?
If the computer mostly works OK, you may just need to invest in it a little - replacing the hard drive & upgrading the RAM will breathe new life into it, most likely!
You do not need to shut it down each time you're done using it - in fact, I leave my MacBook asleep 90% of the time and reboot it every couple of weeks or when it seems to be getting a bit sluggish. I've been doing that for the last 7 years and she's still chugging along.

When logging out of user account iMac will not start back up at login screen.

To prevent guests from using my iMac I frequently "log out" and created a guest account. However when I log out and shut down, my iMac turns on
right back to my desktop not even returning to the "log-in" screen. I tried fixing this under preferences but this did not yield any help as it's still doing
this? I don't understand I can't recall ever having this problem before. Please help! Thanks

Try rebooting into Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It is possible one (or more) is corrupt. To reboot in Safe Model when you hear the startup tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar appearing.

Ethernet disconnects when imac sleeps

When i put my imac to sleep, it seems to disconnect from the ethernet that is plugged into the back.
When i wake it up and log it back in, any applications that was signed in, like lync messenger are logged out and it takes a good 10 seconds to be able to browse the internet.
I'd love to just put my display to sleep and not the computer itself, however I work in an office and need to be able to lock my machine when i walk away.
I use CMD ALT EJECT to put my imac to sleep. And i am using the latest OS.
Please help

Time Machine backup disappears when iMac sleeps

Tried finding this topic but could not find the specifics. I have an Intel iMac running 10.6.7 and I use a Mercury enclosure with a Seagate Barracuda 2TB SATA for Time Machine backup, connected with FireWire. Every time my Mac goes to sleep overnight, the next morning, the Time Machine icon disappears from the desktop. It's been disconnected, because when I run Check Time Machine, the log reads thusly:
<<Thu Apr 21 10:29:30 com.apple.backupd-auto Not starting scheduled Time Machine backup - time machine destination not resolvable.
Thu Apr 21 12:30:05 [0x0-0x2d22d2].backupd-helper Not starting Time Machine backup after wake - failed to resolve alias to backup volume
>>
Occasionally I'll get the error message on the Mac that a device has been "improperly disconnected" but most of the time when it sleeps the TM drive icon just goes away (even tho the backup drive is still on).
Any ideas? Can I fix this or have to live with it? Are there alternatives to TM that may work better?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
Best,
Mike

I had the same problem as Bru-Hed, but with a Samsung G3 Station 1 TB with USB-connection. After waking up the MAC the message "improperly disconnected" appeared. Was happy with the solution you gave and changed the power save settings accordingly, the drive holds its power, but....... things did not change. Switching off the MAC and restarting gives no problems with the back-up drive, but after waking up I have to reinstall the back-up drive every time by disconnecting and connecting the USB-connector. After choosing the drive again in Time Machine, everything works properly until the next time the MAC goes asleep......
Any other solution to this problem ?

Yahoo sent mail not saved to server when using Mail only.

Why does my Yahoo sent mail not get saved to the server when I use Apple's Mail program? (I have it saved in settings to keep sent mail on server). I can see it in my Sent mail folder on Apple Mail but not on the yahoo server. It's an IMAP account and it works fine on my iPhone.
I have tried changing the outgoing ports as well and erasing the account and reinstating it on the Mail program. No luck.

This solved my questionRe: Yahoo Mail folder behaviour with Apple Mail 5.0
Dec 8, 2011 5:14 PM (in response to ernestobenedict)
I finally figured out how to fix this; under the mailbox menu there is an option to "use this mailbox for" that allowed me to select the Sent Items folder from my Yahoo IMAP list of folders and make it the default for sent items from the Mac OS X mail software! "
Thanks to ernestobenedict for this solution!!!

MacBook logs out after being put to sleep.

In detail: having previously closed my macbook mid work, and gone off to do something else, I reopen it to be greeted with the black screen and "to access this computer..." dialogue as normal. I type in my password, hit enter, get a brief blue screen (of the apple variety) and then am confronted with the log in page, and myself logged out.
This only happens occasionally, but is very frustrating - as any unsaved work is lost and any normal "save?" dialogues appear to have been ignored.
My macbook is set to sleep when I close the lid, and has no timer set to log out.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks in advance.

Try a SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Mail: Delete message on server when I delete it in Mail

Dear all,
I just recently switched from Windows to Mac and especially from MS Outlook to Mail. In Outlook I can tell it to only delete a message on the server when I delete it in Outlook. This is very helpful, so that when I use WebMail I do not see all the junk mail messages and other emails I deleted. Now in Mail I do not seem to be able to do this. Any ideas ?
Thanks,

Go to Preferences, Accounts. Select the account you wish to configure. Click the Advanced Pane. Make sure the checkbox is checked for 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message'. In the drop down just below that, choose 'When moved from Inbox'. This will let you retrieve a copy of the messages to your Mac, leaving a copy on the server. As long as you leave the message in your Inbox, the copy will stay on the server. If you then delete your local copy, or move it out of the Inbox, the next time you retrieve new messages from the server, the messages you have moved will be deleted from the server. The key is that there has to be at least one new message to retrieve. This works for me most of the time, since by the time I process the messages I already have, and then check for new messages, there usually are new messages. If you have a mail account that is not that active, or you just want to remove the most recent messages from the server, use the Get Info method above.

I log out properly but when i log back in a message appears basically saying it cant open my page due another one being not closed properly before. WHY?

I log out correctly every time making sure all windows are closed but every time i log back in a window appears saying "well this is embarrassing, we are having trouble opening your page (or something close to that, i cant remember the exact words) then at the bottom it says"this is usually due to a window being open (or close to that) then it asks me if i want to close or restore the session and it has a list of the last 2 pages i opened.
But i ALWAYS close them before logging out. Why does it keep doing this? Do we have a clever hacker or something?

hello lexi, this is currently a problem in firefox when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.
as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

Some E-Mails logging out for no apparent reason?

They're Back - The Slowdowns, Log-outs and Server Issues

Well, Jan. 11, 2011, starting about 9:00AM -8 GMT, I have been logged-out with almost every post, or even just viewing a thread. Half of the time, the server appears to be dead, and I get bounced to either Adobe.com, or to the main Forum page, from the product forum. Loading of any page, or uploading any post/reply takes seemingly forever.
Hope that it's just some server maintenance?

Forward mail to other SMTP server when user is unknown

Hi There,
At this point we are migrating our mailserver from groupwise to Exchange 2007 and at the same point we are connection the new domain in the forrest from a other school. All goes well but know there is a small issue that we have to fix. The Exchange server from the other school send's all message's for @grundel.nl to our new exchange server but there aren't users. There are two sollutions to our problem (I think) but I need to know what exchange can do for me.
1- Our mail goes to the new exchangeserver and when there is a user that the server doesn't know he forwards the mail to our Groupwise server (through SMTP). Is this possible and how can I configure it?
2- The mailserver from the other school sends the mail to Our Groupwise server direct. This is difficult because we are in one forrest and exchange see's that the grundel.nl is configured in sites and servers. Can Exchange bet configured to send mail for our domain to a SMTP server instead of our exchnage server and how can I configure that?
Sollution 1 would be the best so we gen migrate a bit easier.
Thanks,
Marcel
PS: All Exchange server's are 2007 SP2.

and if i am having "recipient not found" for some users ?
i have the same situation and mostly all mail goes normally, except for some users.
It smtp configuration for user is [email protected] but if i send mail to [email protected] (the same site, same server, but i have smart host value for this domain ) - mail deliver to user exchange mailbox locally ([email protected]) and not forwarded
to another host.
Another users goes normally. how can i resolve this problem ?
Be real
really need some help

Skype keeps getting logged out on desktop when ope...

Does anyone have an idea why my skype (desk top program) signs me out when I open Outlook in a web browser to check my email? I've searched and searched and can't find a setting to undo this behavior. It has only started today.

This is happening to me and a friend. Neither of us can use the Skype plugin for Outlook, and when I attempt to sign in to chat in Outlook, the Skype client is logged out. No Skype icon appears in "conneced to" (the only thing that does appear is Messenger), and Skype is not listed under neither "connected accounts" nor the list of apps that are able to link with Outlook. Clearly, since the browser instance does disconnect the client automatically, there is still something in the browser which does attempt to connect to Skype, but it is not at all functioning like intended.
For the record, my friend and I both prefer to run the browser plugin over the client because the client takes up far too much CPU. This issue over the last couple of days has made that impossible, leaving me to find Outlook mostly useless (since I created that account specifically because of Skype's ability to hook into it).

MacBook is either logging out or restarting when i'm away

I have a 13-inch aluminum MacBook purchased in Feb of this year. Every time i run a long process (such as time machine backup or backup to an online backup service) and walk away for a while, I come back and the computer has either restarted or logged out on its own. I'm not sure which is happening b/c I never catch it in the act of doing it. It usually occurs in less than an hour.

if you're away from how do you access data? through your network? check if you turned off your data. Go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>NETWORK
turn on Cellular Data if it's OFF
3G should also be ON for faster access.

Wireless Quits When iMac Sleeps

Can someone help me out with the following annoyance?
Every single time that my iMac wakes from the sleep mode, I lose my internet connection.
I'm automatically presented with the Network Diagnostics window when this happens and as soon as I select my Network name from the list, the connection is immediately restored.
But why is the connection lost every time the iMac shuts down?
Cheers
John

I think that I may have found the answer, at least in my situation. If I understand correctly, every time the Mac goes to sleep, it turns off the WiFi card. The key to ensuring that the connection is renewed again when the Mac powers on again, is to make sure that the - Ask To Join New Networks - box is checked
in my case, just as the Screen Shot shows, it wasn't. I have of course checked it now and hopefully that will be the end of my problems with the WiFi constantly conking out.
Cheers
John
