Mail no longer connect to my IMAP pro account

Hi,
Impossible to connect to my IMAP pro account I have been using for a year within Maverick...
outgoing seems to work fine but no way to get to my inbox...
My iCloud account works fine but I am not using it with vendors and clients...
Need help as soon as possible, I can use the windows at work but it is a real pain in the ***...

Hi billgreg,
I hope you have gotten it working by now, but if not, after verifying your account information, see what the Mail Connection Doctor does for you.

HT204076 Since I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.2 last night, I can no longer connect to my imaps server.

Since I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.2 last night, I can no longer connect to my imaps server. Other clients can connect to the server. Rebooting the device is no help. Before the update (i.e. 8.1.1), it was working fine. Is this a known issue?

No, it is not a known issue. It is a known non-issue. Try resetting your IMAP login ID and password. Both the incoming and outgoing. If that fails delete the account reboot the phone, and add it back.

Mail no longer connects to my accounts

After working fine for a while, Mail no longer sends or receives to all of my e-mail accounts (iCloud, Gmail and IMAP). I can connect to all through safari, no problems.
The generic error message is "Connection timed out on port XXX".
I have tried :
turning offline and back on again, no success.
deleting the hidden .offlinecache folder in the user profile library, no success.
deleting and adding the accounts, no success.
The Console retrieves an error of "[IADomainCache init]: IA domains cache is out of date." which may be relevant ??
The only applications that I have installed recently are MongoDB and Weka (both of which are working fine).
Can anyone point me to a possible resolution?
Thanks
Steve

Hi
I get a green connection status and "Mail was able to connect to the internet".
Each of the mail accounts show a red status with the following error message :
"Could not connect with this IMAP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account preferences."
As I said in the first post, the current settings worked fine in the past.
It does seem to be a network issue with Mail, even though there is a green light. Last night I took the mac home and everything worked fine on that network. However, when in the office everything else seems to be OK except for Mail (eg the browsers function fine) and all other computers on the same network have no problems (including their mail clients connecting through to the same accounts).
Any ideas now?

Mail no longer connects to Exchange Server

Hi,
I recently upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5.
After the update everything was working fine, including Mail. It was talking to my Exchange server as it should.
But I had to dabble. While I was previously connecting using IMAP I noticed the Exchange server option in Mail so I decided to give it a go thinking it might enable some more of Exchange's features.
However, Mail will not connect to the Exchange server. Even trying to switch back to IMAP doesn't work. It just won't connect.
I KNOW the settings are correct and I have other machines here that are working fine (using the Exchange account option in Mail - I set them up last week, no problem).
I have enabled logging in Mail and it appears that the Exchange server is refusing my username or password - both of which are certainly correct.
Using identical settings (albeit with IMAP) in Thunderbird is no problem.
Any ideas on this? It's driving me nuts and I really want to go back to using Mail rather than Thunderbird.
Many thanks in advance.

I have just replaced an ailing emac running 10.3.9 so to get all my emails transfered, i imported them . I had by this time set up my old accounts affresh .now the old ones fight with the new and try to change the out going smtp server settings I can recieve on all accounts but only send out on one and that is after one and a half days plus a trip back to the dealership-still not right .And somehow it insists on sending my other email accounts through only the one main server which sort of works but changes each time you log in. The computer no longer recognises email addresses sent from my old folders - a serious pain when you have to look up each and every address in old folders.
When you go into the advanced settings the option none is not there but on one occassion all the options changed. Looking at this forum I think giving my emac the kiss of life might have been a better business proposition. As to your problem some info the guy at the store deleted in the key chain info. helped but not sure how he got there

Mail no longer connecting to receive email

I recently updated my iMac at work to 10.6.6 & now have an issue with Mail.
For security, I do not store my passwords for my 2 accounts. Each day when I start Mail, I am asked for the password of each account. Now this no longer happens! The passwords have NOT been stored, but the dialogs do not appear. Connection Doctor shows that both accounts are not connecting, although it DOES show that both SMTP servers are connecting. I tried Repairing Permissions, even though I do that as part of my updating SOP. Once the repair was done, Mail did ask for both passwords, and was able to retrieve email from only 1 account. A short while later, the connection to that account was failing once again. I even tried storing the passwords for each account in the Accounts Prefs, but this did nothing.

Mail is doing the same thing to me. I'm on my MacBook and have been using Mail for years. Lately (last 6 months or so) it has been having problems with various going offline, always asking for the password for various accounts and so on. I did an update today for Snow Leopard (which may or may not be pertinent) and now none of the accounts (all bellsouth) will go online. I click "take accounts online" in the drop down menu and in the pop-up box, but it doesn't seem to have any impact. I've closed and reopened the program, which has helped in the past and even restarted the whole computer. Nothing. I've seen where others have had problems with similar issues with something like this and the only answer anyone gets is, "it's a Mail thing." I like Mail, love the "bounce" feature, would rather not change, but the whole point of email is actually being able to receive it.
Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks,

IPhone Mail App cannot connect with gmail iMap server

So my gmail address list or contacts seems to have been hacked and all my contacts who are still talking to me have told me so.
So I changed my gmail password.
No more complaints, and probably no more friends as contacts.
But seriously, I have been able to get gmail (web) working with my new double authentication password(s). Also, my outlook for MAC is working using the special "generated App Password". (because Outlook cannot do the double authentication thingie)
Ditto for the gmail app from google on my iPhone. (it works too)
BUT
I cannot get the iPhone Mail App to connect to Gmail.
I have deleted (i thought) my existing gmail setup from my iPhone. When I try to re establish the gmail settings, using either the password generated by the MAC / iCloud keychain generator or the App password, I get the message "My Name" is already added.
It looks to me that there is something in the iPhone that matches my gmail address, even though I deleted the account.
Any suggestions before I call Apple for help?
Thanks
Barry

I think so.
Actually I think I need to get the App Password for Mail on my phone. It generates the app password and I enter it into the password in the gmail setup for mail.
The problem is that when I hit next on that page, I get the message:
"my name" is already added" and I cannot proceed.
Before doing this setup I deleted my gmail account by tapping the email address and hitting delete in the Mail, Contact and Calendars setup..
but, there is something hiding in my iPhone that remembers my old gmail password (I guess) and doesn't let me proceed.
If I enter my gmail iChain password I get the same thing.
If i do this in airplane mode (no connection to google) i also get the same.
I talked to an apple care person who had me reset all my settings... still the same thing.
I am trying to avoid a gull reset of the iPhone, but that may be in the cards.
Going to go to the apple store and ask there, but i am not hopeful.

My Apple bluetooth keyboard no longer connects to my Macbook Pro

My wireless keyboard no longer connects to my Macbook using Bluetooth. I've put in fresh batteries, checked the on/off switch, and attempted to connected using system dialog. Also tried turning Bluetooth off and on. Nothing works. Wireless trackpad works fine.

You may need a wired keyboard to carry out some of these steps. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
Step 1
Follow the instructions in these support articles:
How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
Step 2
The keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Step 3
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
See these support articles:
Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
Bluetooth: Unreliable wireless performance may occur when USB 3.0 external devices are close
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

HP B210a no longer connects with my MacBook Pro

After nearly two years of almost seemless operation, my HP B210a Photosmart Plus printer does not connect through the wireless network to my MacBook Pro. This happened despite the fact that my Internet provider, wireless router and physical set-up have remained the same. I have gone through all of HP's suggested trouble shooting steps, incluidng powering down the printer for >15 seconds, reinstalling the printer on my Mac, using the Set-up Wizard on the printer itself and praying.
Can anyone help me?
Joe

Hi!
@JoeFinkler
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that your Photosmart B210a seems to have stopped communicating with your Mac.
I've included the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection troubleshooting document. It has a section dedicated to Mac OS X.
@JLL123
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps.

Mail no longer able to send from any account

Since updating to Mavericks, none of my SMTP accounts will send mail. Messages will 'fly off' the desktop but no 'sent mail' sounds made and no record of sent mail appears in the sent mail or pending box.

Go to Mail > Preferences > General and make sure Default Email Reader is set correctly.

BUG: Mail (GMAIL IMAP) no longer connects over ethernet, only wireless

I too was puzzled last night when I couldn't get my gmail account to go online. I did a lot of reading, and tried various things (to no avail), but ultimately decided it was just a configuration error, or combination of other programs running...or maybe even (as read in other posts) Google's servers. I found the server problem unlikely though, since I could also log in via the web interface.
Mysteriously, opening Mail on a separate MBP over either ethernet or wireless was 100% normal...as was the imap connection on my iPad via 3G or wireless...so what was causing my brand new MBAir to choke? Sleep on it, I said to myself.
Well here I am on day 2 of Mail refusing to connect. Connection doctor always shows 'green' next to connection status (Mail was able to connect to the internet), but red for both imap and smtp servers, with messages reading "Mail could not connect to this IMAP/SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in Account preferences. Also verify the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the 'Use SSL' checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account preferences."
I've eliminated the server issue, because my MBP still opened Mail just fine while connected to my network here at home.
Then, just for fun, I decided to unplug my ethernet (which is attached via Apple's own USB Ethernet adapter), and turn on my wireless. Almost instantly, Mail popped to life on my MBAir, and started syncing with gmail/IMAP.
In the two months I have owned this MBAir, getting Mail to work over ethernet had never been a problem. My issues seemed to parallel the recent influx of problems reported with gmail & IMAP.
I still cannot get Mail to access gmail over the USB Ethernet Adapter. What gives, Apple? Anyone else experiencing these symptoms on these new MBAirs?
Model Name: MacBook Air
Boot ROM Version: MBA31.0061.B01
SMC Version (system): 1.66f54

Turns out I was a victim of my own [tight] security. I had a SOCKS proxy enabled on my Ethernet for when I take this laptop on the road...I used it to connect securely to my server back home. Obviously at home my SOCKS proxy was not connecting from within my private network. As soon as I removed the SOCKS proxy, voilá! GMAIL IMAP works perfectly over the USB Ethernet adapter once again.
I hope this serves as a reminder to thoroughly check your network settings before driving yourself mad!
Cheers!

Droid no longer connecting to MacB PRO

I have Motorola Droid2 running version 2.3.3.
I can no longer connect to my MacB Pro 10.5.8 to transfer pictures.
The phone is discoverable.
I can see the phone on the MAC and the phone can also see the MAC but the state shows "Pairing".
I have tried to "setup" the device again, via Bluetooth Assistance. It discovers it, click CONTINUE, I see message
that it is getting additional information, then a message that it is COMPLETE but it never connects.
I have used from the Droid, Bluetooth File Transfer app, but when I try to use it now, it completes Searching for a Service ok
but fails to connect.
From the MAC I can no longer browse to the Droid.
This was working but has now stopped ?
Not aware of any changes that would have caused this.
Has anyone seen anything similar ?
Thanks

Dear MeepNoToes,
Thanks for providing us with additonal information. I have verified this is not a known issues with the Nokia Lumia 822. Allow us to get to the bottom of your wifi connection. Have you tried removing all third party applications and then testing the device? Also, since this did start after a sofware update, I would suggest to back up all of your information and then do a hard reset. To learn how to do a hard reset on your phone click http://vz.to/15MnUFD If you are still experiencing difficulities after the hard reset, please feel free to reach out to us for further assistance. Have a great day!

Mail.app not connecting post 10.5.6 upgrade

Since upgrading to 10.5.6 Mail no longer connects to any of my email accounts, including Exchange server and POP accounts (2). All I get is a timeout window. I have deleted Exchange account and tried to re-enter, but still unable to connect. There is not a connection problem with the machine because Entourage, running on the same machine can still connect (unfortunately had to fire it up when Mail threw in the towel). I have reinstalled OS 10.5.6 but to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

G'Day Simon,
Before you upgraded to 10.5.6 did you (and I ask this carefully) by any chance do a backup and repair disk permissions? It's a common question asked by most of the knowledgeable ones on this forum and I must admit I follow that process before I upgrade as too often I read of the sad stories here where problems are encountered.
As a first step have you tried repairing disk permissions since the upgrade?
Have a look at this post too just in case it is relevant.

My external hard drive will no longer connect to my macpro......any ideas on how to solve this problem??

My external hard drive will no longer connect to my macbook pro via FW800........Any ideas on how to solve this??

Reset the SMC, see this Apple note: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Also reset the PRAM:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
In most cases, those two actions will fix the port issue. If it's still an issue, you may need to see if the external hard drive can connect to another system, to ensure it's not having problems.

My HP office jet pro 8600 won't connect to my macbook pro or my iPad

My HP Officejet pro 8600 at work will no longer connect to my macbook pro or my ipad, yet it still connects to my bosses ipad just fine. I had tried uninstalling it on my mac, and then when i try to reinstall it its not there. I have tried unplugging the printer several times and this too doesnt work. I have tried resetting up the printer on wifi and even tried restarting my wireless router nothing has worked at all i'm getting really frusterated having to take all my work on a flash drive to my bosses computer to print it off please help ASAP.
Zerr222

Hi Zerr222,
Try unplugging the router from the power for 30 seconds, plug it back in and allow it 2 minuts to fully start.
Next turn the printer off and back on and check for any difference.
If the issue remain, may you changed a wireless router lately? what is your exact router brand and model?
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.
If my post resolve your problem please mark it as an Accepted Solution
