Mail's "Messages on Server" in "Account Info"  not working

Since upgrading to Maverick, it has become extremely tedious to manage my Pop server accounts via Mail's Account Info, Messages on Server function.  In the first place, none of the sorting tabs work--the messages are sorted by size only and will not re-sort in any other way.
Secondly, and more frustratingly, it takes an interminable amount of time to delete messages from the server via the Messages on Server window--more than a full minute in most instances.
This is a real nuisance in that my practice is to view what is on the server before downloading email, deleting any that are spam or otherwise not needing to be downloaded.  The practice allows me to leave email on the server until I have downloaded it on both (or either) of two machines that I use to access my email accounts--of which I have four to check.
For the record, I am running OS X 10.9.1 and Mail 7.1 (1827).
Is anyone at Apple aware of these issues?  And if so, is anything being done?  Is there anything that I can do to address this?
Thank you.

I assume you are talking about your gmail account. If you choose to store the messages on the server, you will be able to access them from the gmail website from any computer. If you leave it unchecked, you won't. If you have set up your Mac Mail application with your gmail account, your MobileMe will automatically sync your computer with the online MobileMe website whether you store the emails on the gmail server or not. So what it comes down to is that if you choose to keep your messages on the gmail server, you will be able to access them from two places online - MobileMe and the Gmail website.
Hope this helps,
Chris

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!

  • My Comcast Mail account is not working on all three devices

  • Apple mail - my .me account is not working

    my .me account is not working in Apple mail
    but it is working in ios
    and I can log into icloud
    2 computers can't log into apple mail - me account
    others are fine
    What's up?
    =========
    I just realized that I recently started using the icloud keychain for IOS - could that have messed up my apple mail?

         I have a feeling that they stopped support on the @me emails. I have the 2011 MacBook Pro and before they changed over to iCloud and started using your regular email (and away from the apple logins and usernames) this same laptop could send emails. I find today after wanting to email myself something that I couldn't because my "incoming server" was not working or inactive as it says on my Account preferences. I just deleted the MobileMe account info since it wouldnt recognize my password and used the iCloud one instead. Hopefully Im wrong since I have emails I need to retrieve from MobileMe if it IS going away or gone

  • SCVMM 2008 R2 - "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)."

    I know this question has been asked before, but never for R2, that I can tell, and the posted fixes aren't working. I have just installed SCVMM 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server, using a remote SQL 2008 SP1 database. When I attempt to connect to SCVMM, I get the following error:
    "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
    Ensure that the SQL Server service is running under a domain account or a computer account that has permission to access AD DS. For more information, see "Some applications and APIs require access to authorization information on account objects" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121054.
    ID: 2607"
    What I've seen online is that this is usually becuase the domain account SCVMM is running as does not have the proper permissions on the SQL database. Here's what I've confirmed:
    1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
    2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
    5) Neither service account is locked out
    Has anyone run in to this? It says in Technet that remote SQL 2008 is supported, as long as the SQL management studio is installed to the SCVMM server, and I installed and patched before I began the SCVMM installation. I just don't know what else to try - I have no errors in event logs, no issues during the installation itself...

    That answer was very unhelpful fr33m4n. The individual mentions that they've received the error that points to the KB article. I currently receive the same error -- there seems to be no resolution. I've run the Microsoft VBS script to add TAUG to the WAAG
    as suggested by 331951, and that made absolutely no difference.
    1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
    2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still
    "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
    The user is also a member of WAAG, the machines have delegated authority to each other. Is there any other solution?

  • The server farm account should not be used for other services

    I have created a new SharePoint Foundation 2013 Farm. I only used the Farm Configuration Wizard to create the Search Service Application, all other aspects of the Farm was created using PowerShell.
    The SharePoint Health Analyzer is reporting the following error:
    Title: The server farm account should not be used for other services.
    Severity: 1 - Error
    Category: Security
    Explanation: DOMAIN\FARM_ACCOUNT, the account used for the SharePoint timer service and the central administration site, is highly privileged and should not be used for any other services on any machines in the server farm.  The following services were
    found to use this account: Distributed Cache Service(Windows Service)
    Remedy: Browse to
    http://centraladminsite:port/_admin/FarmCredentialManagement.aspx and change the account used for the services listed in the explanation. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142685".
    Now I understand how to change the account used to run the Distributed Cache Service, but my query is what account should I use in the least privelage model? I have setup the following 6 accounts as per TechNet guidelines (Link)
    and am not sure if one of these accounts should be used or if another account is required:
    SQL Server service account
    Setup user account
    Server farm account
    SharePoint Server Search service account
    Default content access account
    Application pool identity
    After reviewing the TechNet article again, I don't fully understand the section titled "Service application accounts". Is the article advising me to create a seperate account for each row in the table? e.g. 1 account for Business Data Connectivity
    Service, a different account for "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service", another account for "App management" and another account for "Distributed Cache", so 4 extra accounts if I choose to install all of these services
    within the Farm?
    Also, what does the article mean when it says "Plan one set of an application pool and proxy group for each service application that you plan to implement."? How do I go about doing this?

    After reviewing the TechNet article again, I don't fully understand the section titled "Service application accounts". Is the article advising me to create a seperate account for each row in the table? e.g. 1 account for Business Data Connectivity Service,
    a different account for "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service", another account for "App management" and another account for "Distributed Cache", so 4 extra accounts if I choose to install all of these services within the Farm?
    Inder: Yes, It is suggested to have multiple service account for each service application. This increases security and dependencyof 1 account on multiple Service applications. Like below
    SQL Server service
    Local System account (default)
    Setup user
    Member of the Administrators group on the local computer
    Server farm
    Network Service (default)
    No manual configuration is necessary.
    SharePoint Server Search Service
    By default, this account runs as the Local System account.
    If you want to crawl remote content by changing the default content access account or by using crawl rules, change this to a domain user account. If you do not change this account to a domain user account, you cannot change the default content access account
    to a domain user account or add crawl rules to crawl this content. This restriction is designed to prevent elevation of privilege for any other process running as the Local System account.
    Default Content Access
    No manual configuration is necessary if this account is only crawling local farm content. If you want to crawl remote content by using crawl rules, change this to a domain user account, and apply the requirements listed for a server farm.
    Content Access
    Same requirement as the default content access account.
    Profile import Default Access
    Same requirements as server farm.
    Excel Services Unattended Service
    Must be a domain user account.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263445%28v=office.15%29.aspx
    Also, what does the article mean when it says "Plan one set of an application pool and proxy group for each service application that you plan to implement."? How do I go about doing this?
    Inder: Each service account has a application pool and you can plan to use same application pool for multiple
    service accounts if required. These application pool are then consumed by proxy connection
    of each service application. On service application pool, you can see all the service applications and its proxy connection.
