Mail question

I could not find another place to ask, so I'll try here. Whenever I try to send anything from Mail using my mac.com email address, I get an error message saying...
The connection to the server “smtp.mac.com” on port 25 timed out.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Sending from: Kathryn Carney <[email protected]>
....and then under that it gives me the option to try and resend using a different server, either my me.com address or my gmail.com address (i have it synced with mail). Why is it doing this?? How can I send using my mac email address???
Thanks!

.mac mail question:I have an old emac without an intel chip...

.mac mail question:I have an old emac without an intel chip...I have a .mac email account, I would like to be able to have my emails automatically forwarded to a gmail account. I cannot access icloud with this old machine, any ideas? thanks! and aloha!

Hello,
But you can setup iCloud email on you old Mac!
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

Which community for Mail questions?

Mail is not listed as a community and wherever I did post a Mail question, I got zero response.
So which is the right community to post in?
Thanks,
Raphael

Thanks.
I can't figure out how to get there. Would you lay out the path for me please?

Simple Mail question (couldn't find Mail forum)

Sorry to ask this on iCal forum, but I saw no forums dedicated specifically for regular Mail.
This is a simple question as I am a new Mac owner: I am used to using gmail for my email, and like this primarily because, given that it is a web based email application, I can access my email from any computer, anywhere, anytime.
Given my new Mac, I am interested in switching to the Mail application and was wondering if there is any way to check my email when I am away from my home computer? I think this would work with a mobileme account, but I have not obtained one as of yet.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...

Thanks Kosmoe...
One other question...if I do indeed create a new email account and use the Mail application for it, will I be able to check messages via the internet from any computer or only from my own?
And, if I want to be able to check from any computer, then it seems like getting a mobile me account would solve the problem, right? I am assuming mobile me email can be accessed from anywhere?
Sorry to be such a Mac newbie! But so far loving the whole Mac experience!

PC user switching to Mac Pro - Internet connection/Mail questions

Hello:
I am a long time PC user that is going to switch to the Mac Pro. I have two questions relating to the Internet/Mail.
(1) On my PC, I have an ADSL modem to connect to the internet. Can I plug that directly into my Mac Pro's Gigabit Ethernet port, or do I need other Apple Hardware? I have no interest in going wireless.
(2) If/When Parallels is working for the Mac Pro, can I use Apple Mail, then attach files from Windows Office products (Word, Excel, Visio, etc) via Parallels. I want to migrate to Apple products, but at this time, I still need my Office products.
thanks in advance for helping this Mac newbie.

Welcom to the Apple Forums!
If your modem has a ethernet connection, then you can
connect it with a cable to the Gigabit networkport on
your Mac. Just like the same as Windows.
Whit parallels workstation is it possible to acces
the Mac disk. So, you can save from windows on your
macdisk. And then, you can acces it with mail.
You said: _from Windows Office products (Word,
Excel, Visio, etc) via __
Remember, there are also office products for the Mac.
When you are using Parallels to run Windows, it is
not possible to acces de Windows HD from Apple. So if
you want to share files betwee Windows and Mac, you
have to do ut from windows. Windows can read/write
the Mac disk.
You can set up a share folder with Parallels between Mac and the PC side which is what i do. Maybe work on something on XP than put back in the share folder than see it on the other side . But seeing externals and such from the PC side i can't seee them but the share folder does work. I switch my office to the mac side and it works fine and use Entourage as my mail client, looks and smells like outlook

Undeliverable mail question

hi,
What does this dsn mean? And could it be spam?
the subject is "Undeliverable mail"

thx

thx for the explanation .Now things are clearer. Few
more questions if you don't mind Jay:
what about the E entries in the log:
mail.log_yesterday:07-Mar-2006 21:16:12.76 tcp_local
ims-ms E 5 rfc822;[email protected]
myuser@ims-ms-daemon swip.net (mailfe05.swip.net
[83.180.141.95]) "E" means, "Enqueue". That's when your server puts the message in the queue. Has nothing to do with sending a message. In fact, this log entry shows the message
Coming from the tcp_local channel (external to your systems),
and addressed to your user on the local store.
>
Does it mean that the my mail server was trying to
re-send the spam again?No
Also, when you said 'original address is bad', the
original address is [email protected]? and the
remote server checked that email address and found
out that it does not exist?No.
the address to: was "[email protected]", or whatever was there, before you changed it.
>
Finally, what about the aol and yahoo emails that I
found in the FROM and TO in the attached file?

Those have nothing to do with the current mail itself. They're attached/forwarded/replied previously.

Mac Mail question.

Hi, I am not sure this belongs in this discussion, if not I apologize for the incorrect post
I was wondering if anyone knows of an app or plugin type of program that will display the number of unread emails in teh dock/toolbar as outlook for windows does? It gets to be a pain always having to move my mouse down to the dock for the icons to pop up and to see if there is a little red circle in the mail icon that tells me how many messages I have to read. I also liked the quick notifier feature that outlook offers, I am using Herald 1.3.2, which is nice notifier and has plenty of custom features.
but the one thing that would be really nice is to always have that little reminder in the dock (or toolbar like windows offers) that tells you how many unread emails you have waiting for you. I could leave the dock up and not have it slide down, but I dont want to give up that screen space for that simple notification.
thanks for any information.. I hope that question makes sense and there is something out there, or maybe there is a setting I have missed in mail.app.
Chris

Try moving the dock to the right side of the screen, and make it small-ish. You won't miss the screen space over there very much, most likely, and then the badge will remain visible. If that's not a satisfactory solution, I'm sure there's a third-party solution for showing your unread mail count, but I don't know what that might be.

A really dumb Mail question

Like the subject says, I have a really dumb question.
This morning, my IMAP went nuts, and I spent about an hour trying to fix it. Everything seems to be normal now, and Mail is back up and running (hopefully). But now I noticed something, whenever I get new mail, the number of unread emails doesn't show up to the right side of the main inbox like it does with the other mailboxes I created.
I have rules set up, so certain emails go to certain folders, and those folders display the number of unread messages inside. But not the main inbox.
So now I'm wondering if that was always the case, and this is just paranoia left over from the email mess this morning, causing me to notice something that might have never been there in the first place.
Thanks for any help

Ernie:
The folders are on the IMAP server, and not On My Mac.
Most messages that don't fall under the rules will go to the default inbox.
For those messages that are moved, a number counting the amount of unread messages will show up next to the folder.
Fioba:
That sounds like a good idea, but it seems counter intuitive to need to create a smart mailbox for unread messages, when that is the purpose of the inbox itself.

Exchange 2003 to 2010 migration web-mail question?

We are in the process of migrating our Exchange 2003 server onto Exchange 2010 and I have produced a plan to achieve this, but would appreciate some help regarding a couple of steps? In particular how this will affect external users. Information:At present we are running windows 2003 Domain controllers which I will be updating to the levels required for Exchange 2010 to exist.Our Email is provided by an external company which sends the mail to our external IP address on the firewall, which in turn is forwarded to the internal IP of the current exchange server. We have outlook web access in place via https://webmail.Domainname.com/exchange address. We also have mobile device users that are configured to receive mail using the webmail.domainname address – without the /exchange setting at the end.My question is: How, during the install,...

IMAP Mail question (d/l to MacPro but not MBP)?

i have a ton of email accounts and have a really dumb question.
i am accessing all of these accounts via IMAP on my Mac Pro my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. this is great since i can delete emails from my Mac Pro where i work a lot of the time and they will no longer clutter up my mail on my other devices. it obviously has other benefits in that i can see it all the same on all devices.
i am wondering if there is a setting in Mail that downloads the email to my LOCAL HARD DRIVE and if so if i can check this for the Mac Pro but not for the MacBook Pro. i have 2 TB HD's on the Mac Pro but the laptop is running out of space with just 250 GB.
i know this database is a big honking spacehog so i just got to thinking and wanted to ask.
also, does anyone know if having Thunderbird email client and/or Sparrow email client on both of these computers causes large databases for each of these software programs as well? if so i should probably also delete all of this off the laptop.
TIA

Yes.
In Mail->Preferences->Accounts, select the IMAP account you're concerned with. In the advanced tab, there is a "keep copies of messages for online viewing" setting. Choose "All messages and their attachments" on your Mac Pro, and choose something else that's a better fit in the list on your MacBook Pro.
Also, yes, every IMAP client has its own local database.

Snow Leopard & exchange mail questions

I have some questions before upgrading to Snow Leopard... any help is GREATLY appreciated!
1. Do I need to buy a separate upgrade for each of my Macs?
2. Exchange mail: What qualifies as "exchange mail". I really need to be able to sync my business e-mail (calendars would be great too) on all of my devices (the office iMac, wifes MacBook, my windows mobile PDA, and soon to come my new MacBook Pro). Currently I have created an e-mail account for each device, and forward mail from my main account to each devices' account... a flippin' nightmare tracking replies as I'm sure you can imagine... I know there is a better way... PLEASE HELP!!! I have Entourage, but it sounds like I might not need this anymore? My e-mail is POP. Do I need to change where my domain is hosted to a host that offers IMAP so I can make exchange mail work? I really need the business e-mail to be solid and reliable... and synced...

1.) I'm pretty sure you need to buy one update per computer you're updating.
2.) Snow Leopard enables syncing only with Microsoft Exchange 2007 servers. If you connect to a MS Exchange server running the latest and greatest version, it will probably work. My office still runs Exchange 2003, and it does not work for me. (I can still connect via POP and IMAP.) If it does work, it should enable e-mail sync over Microsoft's proprietary Exchange "MAPI" protocol, as well as calendar syncing in iCal, etc.

POP Mail Question

I have an iMac in my office and an iPhone 4S, an iPad Air, and a MacBook Pro that travel around with me. In the long ago past, before IMAP really got going, I used to be able to download my POP email to a laptop, read messages, and delete them without touching the copy that was on the mail server. My desktop computer controlled what occurred on the mail server - delete, invoke mail rules, set a time for the mail to be removed from the server. My mail was downloaded to my computer and a copy was kept there in lieu of the mail server.
I'm trying to do the same kind of thing with at least one of my handhelds or the MacBook Pro - be able to read and either reply to the sender, forward to appropropriate people, or delete or keep the message on the device until I was through with it - without all that activity being synced to every device I own. (I honestly don't recall whether or not those actions somehow got back to the mail server.) Meanwhile, my desktop computer and perhaps my iPhone or iPad would be the interface to the cloud and manage the mail - what happened on one device would be synced to all the machines using IMAP mail.
I'm a little confused by what I'm reading on these forums about this matter. Some have said outright that iCloud does not support POP at all, and others give at least some hint that it may be possible to set up the kind of thing I'm looking for above. So my basic question is: can I set up a POP account on my laptop that reads email from my iCloud mail account independent of the interaction between my iMac and the iCloud mail? If I can do this, would someone kindly tell me what mail server I should be using - clearly mail.me.com is not the correct choice.

iCloud email does not support POP. The old mobile me account was POP, but was converted to IMAP when iCloud took over.

4.6C e-mail question

Hello!
I am sending external (Internet) e-mail using function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 and I am having a problem, I think, and I have a question. The e-mails are being sent out with no problem, there are just a few "features" that are giving me problems.
<b>Problem:</b> After the e-mails go out, they are staying in the status "In transit" in transaction SCOT. If I am not mistaken, the should go to "Sent successfully." Is there more setup I need to do to complete these e-mails.
<b>Question:</b> I am marking the fields RECLIST-NOTIF_DEL and RECLIST-NOTIF read, but the deletion and read notifications are not coming through. Is there more setup to do for these options in 4.6C?
I have read Thomas Jungs blogs on the subject and I thought I had it down... I will reward points generously, I am the same John Carlson as before (from Pacific Cycle), I just haven't had my points transfered yet.
Thanks!
John

Hi John,
Please check the notes 606436,586138
it talks about the emails being in the status in transit.
Hope this helps you,

Snow Leopard Server Mail QUESTION!

I am running OS X 10.6.2 and I have a question regarding e-mail functionality. Currently we have an Xserve acting as our mail server then we have a microsoft exchange server in line in order to use connectors to route e-mail based on cost and size. Is there anything we can use to route e-mail straight from the Xserve and take the exchange server out of the picture?

After doing some more research I found that what I am looking to do looks like it can be achieved using postfix transport maps. The only issue I am still having is how to setup postfix transport maps to send mail out via 2 different gateways based on size.

Mail Questions

I have a few questions regarding the mail program on the iPhone.
First off, is there any way to have junk filtering like Mail on the Mac computers?
Also, is there any way to set up additional folders within a mail account? I have seen some screen caps somewhere that had multiple folders (such as a saved mail, etc) but cant seem to find a way to do it. There is also an option to move emails and I dont see why you need this if the only folders are the inbox, sent box and trash. No need to move an email to any of those, it seems like that would be for an additional usable folder of some kind.
Lastly, is there any way to batch delete or delete multiple emails at once?
I get a ton of spam and was hoping that mail would have some kind of junk filter like the main mail program. But without that, it would be nice to be able to delete many at a time instead of having to delete each one individually. My Treo would allow this by highlighting multiple emails and then deleting. Any way to do that on the iPhone?
Thanks

If you use IMAP for mail, just using your computer to add another folder to the IMAP server will be reflected on the phone. If what I said just went over your head, ignore it.
For spam filtering, I do it all server side. I have my mail server filter it there. I wouldn't be surprised if they add junk filtering to the phone itself one day though.

Applescript for Mail Question

Is it possible to create an Applescript for Mail, that, when an email with a specific subject line arrives in my inbox, an attached photograph would get sent immediately in response to the person who sent the email. The subject lines would vary (e.g., people_1, or, places_16). Every subject line would have a corresponding photo located somewhere on my hard drive (there would be hundreds of possibilities - the catalogue would be concentrated in one place). So, for example, when "places_21" hits my Mail in box, an email would be generated in response, automatically, with a photo (places_21) attached. Thank you! Marcos

Actually, it's not that hard to do, it's just that there are a lot of use cases, and a lot of caveats to consider.
For example, do you intend/expect to work from a predefined list of image file names? Or do you want/expect to react to any filename that's requested?
You say that the files would be 'somewhere on my hard drive'... how does the script know where to look? How does it resolve filename conflicts? What should happen if a file can't be found?
As fane suggests, you should also consider an audit log, so you can see who asked for what, and when, along with errors that occurred on the way.
So it's entirely do-able, just a lot of questions to answer before you get started.
