Mail reset and prompt to create account again

I just restarted my computer and for some strange reason when I tried to open Mail again it asked me to create an account which was already created. I don't know what happened to my current one. I tried trashing the two files in the Preferences and the Envelope Index from the Mail folder in the Library but had no luck at all. Does anybody know how to bring back my current account? Any help is very appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Luis

Thanks V.K., and I apologize for not being very specific, I was talking about the files in Home/Library/Preferences and the Envelope index in the Home/Library/Mail. Regarding shutting down and power outages, I can tell you I always shut my computer down properly and as far as I know there hasn't been any outages today or in the past few months. Also, I actually didn't trash the files, I just moved them to my Desktop.
After removing the com.apple.mail.plist out of the Home Preference's folder I relaunched Mail and still gave me the Welcome window. I will try creating the account again but I will make a backup copy first just in case it wipes out the one currently there.
Thanks again for the reply.

How to reset UID for new created accounts?

Hi everyone,
OS X uses the UID 501 for the first admin account and subsequently counts up for the coming accounts (502, 503, etc.). I sometimes need to create an additional account which will get deleted after a while. The next time I create such an account the UID counter goes still up so that I currently am somewhere around 510.
What I’d like to know is, how does one reset the UID counter so that it will give out 502 again for my next created account? Does this involve dsctl? Any help is appreciated!
Björn

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, but I was away for a week. I know about the advanced options, but was reluctant to try it this way. Just tested this in a VM and it works! You simply change the UID via System Prefs/Accounts/Advanced to say 502 and the subsequent accounts will follow. The only thing to keep in mind is to close System Preferences after deleting accounts in order to reset the counter. If you continue to create new users without quitting it first, it will continue at 511 or whereever you were.
The reason I want to do this, is simply to not lose my overview about which account uses which UID.
Thanks!

Current iCloud account name is very old from previous e-mail provider; and iPad continuously showing "account not verified" on a 1 yr. old account that show it is verified in apple system ????

iCloud page...How do I delete an old unusable account that interferes with iCloud account on present account (user id)?
...and iPad showing present account is not verifed when it has been????

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Mail app and System Preferences--Internet Accounts keeps crashing

I can't figure out how to stop mail from crashing and I am running OS X Yosemite. Some people say that you can remove the internet account, but when I go to system preferences, It always crashes the internet accounts section. I also can' find the com.apple.mail plist in library. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

Importing Mail file and documents from another account on same Mac

Hi,
I a new to Mac. Have a great new iMac. It's all working fine.
Initially to simplify things I have set up everything under the main admin account (mine).
In particular, I have installed both my and my wife's e-mail account documents in the Mail and Documents folders of the master account.
Now that we're 'stable', I have set-up a separate account for her such that we keep our preferences, e-mails and documents separate.
When setting-up her account I now can't find how to import 'her' folders from the Master account Mail application and Documents folder. Indeed, those folders appear grey and unaccessible from her account (I guess that's the basic idea abut separate account but I am nevertheless looking for ways to move those files.
Any pointers?
Tx,
AH

login to the main account and drag the folders to the "Drop Box" folder in her "Public" folder (in her home folder in "Users" at the top level), the go to her account to move the to the correct locations.

No mail content and "need to take account online" message

I lost preferences for safari and mail, I think after my son shut down while "firevault was recovering disc space." My mailboxes were intact in my users folder. I followed prompts to set up mail again, and somehow my mail reappeared, with mailbox folders intact and content in folders readable. I'm able to receive and send emails.
The problem: Inbox messages, both old and new, have no content. Instead each email says:
"The message from Tom Thumb <[email protected]> concerning “baker's son” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
Really odd: the email content from emails I received since setting up again today is there for about 15 minutes, and then disappears, and I get the "not downloaded" message."
Connection doctor says I am connected to server.
The email content is intact on my server, and they say the problem is with mail program.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you for clicking the "Solved" button and awarding the . As a "P.S.," one other thing that I've noticed, at least with my IMAP accounts, is how you usually will see a message count on the top of the Mail viewer pane, when you have a mailbox or folder highlighted (for example, mine will say something like "Inbox - home (107 messages)"), I have found that when it no longer displays the message count in parentheses in the title (i.e., it will just say "Inbox - home"), although I may still be able to see messages' contents, the list of messages, etc., Mail is getting ready to go squirrelly on me, so before that happens, as soon as I notice that the message count is not being displayed, I rebuild all the mailboxes. Sort of like a little preventive maintenance.

Ipod Starts up, stops, resets, and does it all over again...

Hey all,
I tried searching but couldn't find anything like what I have. I recently purchased a new laptop, swapped my old library onto the new laptop, and then went to 'sync' on the new laptop. Things seemed to be working fine, unplugged the ipod, let it sit for a few hours...went to turn it on and it froze up. Reset it, but now, it loads up, shows the apple symbol (you can hear the HD winding up) gets about 4-5 seconds into it, clicks off, then starts it all over again.
I've been unable to get it to do anything...it won't reset, connecting it to a power source doesn't do anything, and of course, it does this for as long as it can then the battery burns its self out.
Does this sound fixable without bringing it in?
Thanks guys,
Jared

This exact same thing happened to me, and I have a solution. What I did, is I just let it sit out, and do its thing (restarting a bunch) then it eventually went to the main menu. I plugged it into my computer, and did a restore.
Now if that doesn't work for you, you may need to force mount it. Plug the iPod into your computer, and hold down the middle and play/pause button. Hopefully it should stop its nonsense and show up in your computer and let you do a restore in iTunes.
Oh, and welcome to Apple Discussions!

Mail.app and Verizon / Yahoo email account setup

I've searched and searched on here and still can't find a proper (or updated) answer to the question. (Newest answers I found were for 10.4.4 involving keychain access-which I tried...)
Why won't my @verizon.net account work with Mail.app?
I can login using verizon's online mail, but can't use the verizon-supplied settings to receive the mail through mail.app.
incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
Couldn't find what port settings to use...

I think I might have found a solution. For some reason, it appears the outgoing mail server doesn't like to have the same login as the DSL setup account. I switched my outgoing account to a secondary account (my setup account is jsichol, but I used joesichol as my outgoing.)
(It is working as of now, but I've seen others on here who got it to work for a couple of days before it crapped out.)
I am actually using the verizon account linked with a yahoo account, so my ingoing and outgoing accounts are *coming.yahoo.verizon.net.
I really hope this works and that others find this thread useful.
I'm on Verizon DSL, in Richmond, Virginia.

I sent a reset message to my ipad from my iphone and now I can't reset my ipad. It just spins. Thin starts to reset and then starts to spin again

I reset my ipad from my phone. When I got home I tried to wipe out my ipad so I could reload it but it just kept showing the little circle in the middle. I tried the rest by holding both buttons down which did start the ipad over again. But with in a minute it would start circling again evertime. .

It is a formatting issue. They are not totally compatible.

My husband and I share the same e-mail address, and computer. We both have iPhones now and want to have our own individual Apple ids, but have one iTunes account is it possible?

My husband and I share a computer, have the same e-mail address, and have one iTunes account. Can we have different Apple ids on our individual iPhones or do we have to use the same one?

For purchasing from the iTunes and App stores, you will probably want to share the same Apple ID. But for other services such as iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud, you should use separate IDs. For example, if you use the same ID for iMessage you'll start getting each other's text messages. If you use the same ID for FaceTime you may get each other's FaceTime calls. If you set up the same iCloud account with the same ID, and data you sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all devices (i.e., you'll end up with each other's contacts and calendar events). You would also be sharing the same 5GB of free iCloud storage rather than each having your own 5GB of space.

OIM11gR2 - API - how to create accounts and link them to an oim user

hi,
my problem is the following: I would like to import a lot(1000+) of different service accounts to my oim system and link them to oim users.
at the moment, the information which service-account belongs to which person is stored in a textfile.
I use this API code to create accounts:
ProvisioningService service=getClient().getService(ProvisioningService.class);
ApplicationInstanceService service=getClient().getService(ApplicationInstanceService.class);
ApplicationInstance appInstance=service.findApplicationInstanceByName("LinuxServer001");
FormInfo formInfo=appInstance.getAccountForm();
String formKey=String.valueOf(formInfo.getFormKey());
AccountData accountData=new AccountData(formKey,null,null);
Account account=new Account(appInstance,accountData);
account.setAccountType(Account.ACCOUNT_TYPE.Primary);
service.provision(userKey, account);
this works fine! the account is displayed in the section "user accounts", but the status of the created account is "Provisioning".
when I reconcile this linux server, oim doesn't establish a link between the service account on the target system and the created account! why?
how can i solve my problem? which information is missing, to establish a link between an existing account on a target system and an api created account?
thank you!
br,
max

Thanks, Brian, for your support! - It's working.
It's hard to understand why NI did not pass this parameter to the top of the call chain...
I also needed some time to understand the syntax of the string passed to the subaddress node:
The name of the worksheet needs to be framed by single quotation marks and the following cell address must preceeded by an exclamation point (!).
A working link pointing to cell "A1" of "Worksheet 1" looks like:
'Worksheet 1'!A1
Maybe also of interest: If you want to point the link to a worksheet inside the document itself, the parameter "address" (URL of link - href) can be left empty.
Thanks and Regards,
Ingo

Exchange Mail Footer and Disclaimer when sending mail from iPhone

Hi All,
We have a corporate mail footer configured in our Exchange server. It is designed in html and including images. It works fine when i send mail from Outlook or OWA but when i send an email from my iOS devices, our corporate mail footer is shown as plain text in recipient's mailbox.
Briefly, i send email from outlook to you and you see my email and footer message normal. But when i send email from iphone to you, you see my footer as plain text so you can't see our images.
I don't know if it has a solution or not but i think i can find anyone encountered this problem before.
Thanks

I, too, was having the same problem of blacking out and returning to home each time I sent an email with Edge. I put the phone to sleep, did a hard reset and re-added my account several times. Each time I came back to mail the message was waiting to be sent again. I finally checked my sent mail and it showed up as being sent 22 times. Apparently you should check the sent folder to make sure if it went through or not before trying again.

Try Submitting Create Accounting again with the Report Mode as Summary.
Still XML, then try to check the data in xla_accounting_errors.
If that is huge.
Query for a Payment, which is giving error in online accounting.
Use the following sqls to find out the error.SELECT entity_id
FROM xla.xla_transaction_entities
WHERE application_id = 200
AND ledger_id = &ledger_id
AND entity_code = 'AP_PAYMENTS'
AND NVL(source_id_int_1) = &check_id; -- get it from Help -> Diagnostics -> Examine
SELECT event_id, event_status_code, process_status_code
FROM xla_events
WHERE application_id = 200
AND entity_id = &entity_id; -- get it from above sql
SELECT *
FROM xla_accounting_errors
WHERE application_id = 200
AND event_id in (&event_id); -- place the event_ids from above sql,
--which are not having process_status_code as PBy
