Mail server issues

Argh!
I am attempting to set up Mail to access my Gmail and my work email, hosted by Yahoo. I got it all to work flawlessly at home. Here at the office, no good.
Mail is unable to connect to any mail servers at either Yahoo or Gmail. It always times out. I've pinged both servers using Network Utility and am able to check both accounts using Safari. But Mail won't connect.
I was able to set up a Mail account for an old email account I don't use anymore hosted by an old website of mine. So I know it's possible for Mail to talk to the outside world. And I know the outside world is out there. But I'm stumped.
Any help?

Ask your network manager at work if access to port 25 is available for outside servers. It might be that smtp is blocked from your network in your office. A possible alternative is to try port. The following web page on google.com might also help shed some light on your problem for both gmail and yahoo.

Mail server issues after upgrading

Hello,
After upgrading my iMac to Mountain Lion 3 of our 5 email account are not working.
The 5 accounts are [email protected] However 3 of them are not able to come online.
I tried MANY times to delete them and recreate them coming ALWAYS to the same issue.
What I noticed is that the INCOMING mail is different from the incoming mail from the accounts that are working. (the accounts that are working use an incoming mail server: p05-imap.mail.me.com or p01-imap.mail.me.com) However the accounts in trouble only show a grey out "MAIL.EXAMPLE.COM" unable to switch it.
The outcoming mail in those accounts is "ICLOUD - OFFLINE".
Even if I tried to switch servers I get a notice " SERVERS MARKED WITH ALERT ICONS ARE IN CONFLICT AND CANNOT BE SAVED. TOW SERVERS CANNOT SHARE THE SAME ADDRESS AND AUTHENTICATION SETTINGS. TRY AGAIN".
I get this notice even after deleting all the problem accounts.
Also I tried switching ports like some people suggested on other posts and does not help either.
The account are working perfectly on ipads, ipods and iphones.

David,
You are right, theer are some changes incorporated in the latest MLR # 16 on the configurations files and on the dehydration store metrics(such as performance, fields,..).
However, I would not suggest to continue working on olite, even for Development/Test purposes as you might get stuck with strange errors...and the only solution would be to re-install SOA Suite if your olite gets corrupted. There might be ways to gets your olite back to position, but trust me..its not so simple.
Also, when you develop and stress test all your testcase scenarios in an TEST Adv installation, its simple to mimic the same in actual production box, as you exactly know its behavior.
So, go for a brand new SOA 10.1.3.4 MLR # 5 (or) 10.1.3.3.1 MLR # 16 SOA Suite Advanced installation with Oracle DB 10.2.0.3 as its dehydration store.
Hope this helps!

TLS mail server issues

I have a customer with Snow Leopard server running mail services. Some hosts cannot email them due to what we think is a TLS related issue. These hosts have TLS enabled for the mail server and they receive the below error message when sending to my customer:
15:27:41.044 3 SMTP-406902(domain.com) failed to establish a secure connection with http://xx.xx.xx.xx:25. Error Code=X509: signature algorithms do not match.
When the host sender turns off TLS emails make it to my customer. The host that cannot send seems to think it's a Postfix configuration issue but I don't know where to begin. It's not a firewall issue as we've tried that with no success.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

You'll want to provide more details around the "hosts" here. Is this, for instance, mail clients connecting to the mail server? (It's comparatively rare to have encrypted traffic on port 25 between mail servers.)
If this is mail clients connecting to a remote mail server via port 25, then have a look at switching over to the authenticated ports; moving off of submissions via port 25, as those can run afoul of anti-spam mechanisms.
You'll want to provide more details around the sorts of certificates involved here, as well.
And if the mail server's DNS is stuffed up - you've been asking a whole lot of SMTP questions around the forums, and you've been unfortunately rather "cagey" on the details and the configuration details - you'll have SMTP-related issues sending to some hosts. The forward and reverse and MX records have to match up or the mail will be rejected during the reception-related processing performed by various remote servers; your server will be marked as a spam host.

Ipowerweb and outgoing mail server issues

getting my POP account on my iPhone to send mail successfully has proven to be difficult.
why is it that on my old Nokia E61 my incoming and outgoing mail server settings "mail.mydomain.net" worked regardless of whether i was on edge or wifi -- yet on my iPhone the only way i can send email is to turn wifi off, and input "cwmx.com" as my outgoing mail server and send sloooowly over edge?
i guess my question is, what is different about the way the iPhone connects to different servers, if my old phone did not have any issues with it at all - and how can i remedy this? shouldnt it be as simple as sycing the settings from my POP account on my G5? what am i missing here...and is this specific to ipowerweb hosting?
thanks

aegez,
As a point of clarification, if you are going to use Port 25 on EDGE you have to use cwmx.com. Many networks filter port 25 traffic because of port 25 traffic has been abused by people sending unsolicited bulk email (aka spam). AT&T's EDGE network is not the only network to filter port 25.
The iPhone in some situations will try other common ports, many of which will require authentication.
If you are using an outgoing mail server that requires authentication on a port besides port 25 it should work on both WiFi and EDGE in most situations. The exception would be on networks that filter traffic on all ports as a security major, such as some work environments.

Mac mail server issue?

All of a sudden, from out of nowhere, my mac mail connection has gone dead. This is one of the error messages I receive:
"The SMTP server “smtp.mac.com” rejected the password for user _____."
I re-enter the correct password... then I get this:
"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “________” or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server “mail.mac.com” on port 143 timed out."
Repeat process... on and on and on.
Can anyone help?

There are server issues with .Mac - incoming and outgoing mail servers.
I copied this from under Support via webmail access for my .Mac account.
+100% of members might experience slower than normal response when using IMAP mail. Mail can be sent and received using .Mac webmail. Normal service will be restored ASAP.+

Outgoing mail server issue

I cannot send outgoing my mail from my email account. Its saying
two servers marked with
alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved.
two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings
. resolve the certificate and try again.
Ive delete the account now and re set them up but it still has an issue with the outgoing server which are the same .... Can anyone help?
jen

Is this MobileMe or dot Mac?
If so...
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
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.

10.9.5 mail server issue

Hi,
I am having an issue since this afternoon with my mail server.
In a nutshell, port 25 does not allow any connections on the internal network.
From the server I can:
telnet 127.0.0.1 25
telnet 192.168.0.5 143
cannot:
telnet 192.168.0.5 25
Makes no sens to me at all.
Any suggestions?

It appears that the server is not "listening"to port 25??

OSX 10.5 Server - Mail Server Issue

This is a clean install of OSX 10.5.6 on a new Xserve.
I've setup the Mail Server and it kind of works. The problem I'm having the email seems to get stuck in the queue and have to manually force it to get delivered. There is an error when the message initially arrives with a temporary error. I can't find the error. Once I tell the server to retry delivery the message comes in fine.
Here's an example from the mail log:
Mar 6 13:24:55 ppo-mail postfix/pipe[1539]: 6ADF54A56A: to=<[email protected]>, relay=cyrus, delay=0.05, delays=0/0/0/0.04, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure)

Any suggestions?

Check /var/log/mailaccess.log for the same time you see the error in mail.log. You may need to increase the logging level for IMAP to "Information" first.

Incoming Mail Server Issue

On my iMac I notice that my incoming mail server address is different. It is p99-imap.mail.me.com. On my MacBook Air which I have not updated it is mail.me.com. I have made no changes myself. I am unable to access my mail on my iMac while my updated iPhone and iPod Touch mail works fine.

I have the opposite probem, mail is coming in on my MAC but not on my iphone via mobile me.

Except me nobody has access to the server yet. Nobody is sending out any emails. Appreciate any help.

What does /var/log/mail.log have to say (you may need to increase logging level to "Information")?

Mail server issue

Hi all, I'm trying to send mail via java and I'm and using an smtp server called the free smtp server to send mail from my application......here's the code
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
public class SendMail{
     public void compose()throws Exception
          String rep[] = {"[email protected]"};
          String sub = "email test";
          String mes = "trial msg......blah,blah";
          String from = "[email protected]";
          postMail(rep,sub,mes,from);
     public void postMail( String recipients[ ], String subject, String message , String from) throws MessagingException
    boolean debug = false;
     //Set the host smtp address
     Properties props = new Properties();
     props.put("mail.smtp.host", "localhost");
    // create some properties and get the default Session
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
    session.setDebug(debug);
    // create a message
    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
    // set the from and to address
    InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
    msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
    InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
        addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
// Optional : You can also set your custom headers in the Email if you Want
msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName", "myHeaderValue");
// Setting the Subject and Content Type
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
Transport.send(msg);
public static void main(String[]args)throws Exception
     (new SendMail()).compose();
problem is it's giving me the runtime error below, even though the recipient is valid, so my question, is the problem the smtp server or the code and if it's the server which is the best smtp server there is?Thanks.Exception in thread "main" com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 550 Invali

Looks like there's a configuration problem with your server.
Try using Thunderbird to send to the same address using your server and see if it gets the same error.

Mail server no longer receiving external emails

After a disastrous upgrade to Lion & then a full TIme Machine restore back to Snow Leopard, I've had some mail server issues. (Web services not working but fixed with this method).   Now noticed my server is now not receiving mail from external accounts...
Lots of posts suggested DNS problems but DNS does seem to be pointing some services to my server:
- Webmail page is working but on login returns an error: Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost. 61 : Connection refused
- Mail Client log in works (but not with the 'mail.' prefix) & can send email both internally & externally.   External mail sent in to my server is returned with the error: Host or domain name not found. Name service error     type=A: Host found but no data record of requested type
I'm guessing it might be an IMAP problem but I'd be very grateful if anyone could suggest what could be happening here.

Yikes... Time machine doesn't back up mail.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.6/en/asafc284c9.html
You may be out of luck. OS X Server shouldn't be backed up using time machine unless you've configured it specifically to back up things within it's limitaitons.
Personally I use TM to back up user home folders and Shared Drives. Then use retrospect to back up Mail and OD. Lastly I use a script that runs a MySQL dump every night to take care of the web server.

HT4859 After the i-cloud server issue Nov 26, 2012, I had to change some mail account settings to get my i-cloud mail to work again. However, all of my received e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve my e-mails from the server?

After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail. I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails. However, all of my historical e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?
