Mail Server Account Error

Downloaded Thunderbird and started adding email accounts. So far I love it and didn't have a problem at all setting up multiple accounts. But now I keep getting a pop up error message for one of the accounts. And I am troubled as to why it is happening.
The error message is that the mail server for the account responded that the mailbox does not exist. Yet with all tests of sending and receiving with that email account there are no problems at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Com.apple.Server.Accounts error 2 - Local Network Group problem

    I am lost :-)
    just to specify, this is not a production server, it is just a learning platform for me.
    I did a format and start over my server configuration
    in order
    DNS
    DHCP
    Open Directory
    Profile Manager
    User and group
    File Sharing
    very basic config.
    Somewhere during user and group something happen
    I did create a new Local Network Group and 2 Local Network User, me and a Directory admin
    but now, when I create a group, it seem I can only create local group
    and I can't edit Local Network Group
    Local Group -> no problem
    I can edit Local Group. I can add member
    or I can go to a member and add it to a Local Group even if the user is a Local Network User
    it work
    Local Network Group -> does not work
    I can't edit Local Network Group, can't add member
    if i go the same Local Network user I added to local group and try to add it to a Local Network group, I get this error
    com.apple.Server.Accounts error 2
    I dont know where I went wrong :-)
    any idea
    Thank you

    I just reformat and restart the configuration :-(   but I might have the same problem again, so i hope to understand why it happened.
    I had the problem on both the server and a client machine.
    Part of the Local Network User and Groups were greyed out, so I could not edit them
    My airport setting for DNS was set to my server, so the client automatically got the local ip of the server for DNS.
    On the server, initially, the formatting DNS IP was so to my airport, then I changed it to the DNS of my Internet provider. 
    but for the self ip 127.0.0.1 i did saw it there at the begining but maybe when did change later it might have been affected.
    I did changed the System Preferences>Network setting to a fix IP even if my airport was set as the DHCP with a fix IP for the Mac Mini.
    I remember not seeing a DNS in that page. I will check for that now that I am about to start again.
    and also, I tried to change the DHCP to be from given from the Mac Mini (like I read in the book) but when I did a
    ipconfig getpacket en0
    it was still showing the airport as the DHCP server
    I will not set it this time.
    Thank you
    I will come back later with some update
    Thank you

  • Cannot get mail, server unavailable error message n my Yahoo account only, but not on others

    Although I have no problem getting hotmail and other yahoo account messages, my PRIMARY email account has been returning an error message "Cannot get mail, server unavailable".  But my server is working just fine for everything else except my main yahoo account.  Could anyone shed some light on this for me?  Thank you all!!

  • How do I setup google mail server account in Outlook 2011 for Mac?

    My company just switched from an Exchange server to a google mail server for business, and I've been trying to setup my account in Outlook 2011 for Mac to sync mail/folders/calendars/contacts, with not much luck. I have a new macbook pro - please help! What are my options?

  • Checking mail server capabilities error

    After updating to version 31.5.0 Thunderbird some of my imap server accounts will not function. They do on my other machines (not updated). Getting mail or sending mail I get this message: "checking mail server capabilities .." It will eventually time out. SMTP settings have not changed (using port 25). I have "allowed" Thunderbird.exe in windows firewall. Using Norton Anti Virus. Have tried disabling temporarily. Am able to access smtp.googlemail.com (different port).
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
    *Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
    ; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

  • I have joined a hotels network but email won't send or receive. Tells me to check incoming mail server account but it all looks ok.

    I have joined a hotel network but my o2 email won't work. It says I need to check the incoming server settings but these are ok the same as they have always been. Can anyone help?

    no help to get
    it's obvious that the hotel network block any port apart from port 80 which is www port
    so you can't access mail at all unless you go it by using o2's online mail portal if they have one

  • Outgoing/offline mail server errors (143 /and/ SSL checked?)

    i am trying to do this zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance thing where i go through all my umpteen accounts on my desktop and laptop and check all the umpteen settings to try and troubleshoot an outgoing mail server / "offline" errors in mac mail. this seems like it is isolated to mac mail it would be REALLY NICE if there was some organization in here (or at least an explanation) so that all the possible settings (and all the various locations for them) didn't mean this effort is like 35 factorial with respect to possible mistakes that can be made.
    /anyway/ i am reading various threads and my ISP service provider recommends port 143 for IMAP but i am seeing threads responses that highly suggest using SSL. however, if i change the checkbox next to the 143 port entry to have SSL checked this automatically changes the port to 993.
    now i am not sure whether to replace the 993 with 143 as suggested or to leave off the setting for SSL.
    any suggestions so i can isolate this setting from the thousands of variables that could be the cause of this (orther than it being basically embedded in the software and impossible to fix for one reason or another)?
    it will be a real pain to change this setting (3 separate steps) on 15 different accounts (45 steps) on two different computers (90 steps for this one single variable) and then have to change it back again.
    THANKS

  • IOS 4.1 Contacts Sync With Any Mail server Annoying Bug

    Hello
    i saw there was already few people that notice this but today i found about this problem and it can be very annoying.
    this information was checked on more then 20 devices , and the problem started only since 4.1 version (don't know about 4.0.2)
    After you will set an Exchange/Zimbra/Open-Xchange or any other Mail server account , by default the IOS 4.1 will save the contacts in Iphone local Memory , this need to be change in the Settings to use the account you setup - otherwise new added contacts would not syncronize with your server and we all know that this can be very annoying to find out when you will change to new iphone or any other reason that will make you to reset your device and find out that all the new contacts vanished.
    I hope that Apple will fix this in the next update because in previous versions i never bump into such problem .
    I would like to know if there is any way to sync those new contacts (not by delete them and add them again) with the Server . because after setting up Exchange server there is no way to sync your Contacts with your PC.
    P.S - big thanks to Asher Karsis that Notice me about this problem.
    Yossi

    I was so glad to get multiple Exchange account support with iOS 4. I have been synching with my work account (calendar, mail) and with my Google accounts (calendar, mail, contacts). After upgrading to iOS 4.1 three days ago, my Google accounts appear to be working fine but my work account refuses to connect to the Exchange server for calendar or mail.
    My company forced a passcode when I originally added the account. For troubleshooting I removed the account and recreated it. The account verifies but never requires that I have a passcode. I then removed all of my Exchange accounts, restarted my phone and recreated my company Exchange account. Again, verifies without requiring a passcode, and neither my calendar nor my mail will connect - zero events, zero emails. My mail even proudly says it updated and shows the current time/date stamp - but nothing. When I upgraded to 4.02, I had to set up a passcode. I am highly suspicious that because 4.1 is not synching properly because it is not handshaking correctly regarding the security on the Exchange Server ... that is my guess. And I echo, IT NEEDS FIXED! I am screwed not being able to get my emails and calendar events on-the-fly.

  • HT4864 I am getting a triangle with an exclamation point next to my inbox...it says: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again.  The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in

    I can send but cannot recieve email
    This is the messege I am gewtting:
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
    The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
    The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailable

    Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

    Occasionally the mail "sends", but it is unpredictable. Tech Support at Qwest (for q.com under Windows Live) does not find a problem at their end.
    More suspiciously, the same account accessed from my Mac does not seem to exhibit this problem. Have reloaded T'bird. Recurred again.

    Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in.

    Have you tried clicking on the lock to see it it will then ask for a passwored.  Otherwise, try reblooting.

  • Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud.  I have verified the settings.  I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

    Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
    This is a long-time problem.  I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
    I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network.  Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
    "The server returned the error:  The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
    Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
    Well, you get the idea …

    Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
