Mail still not autochecking
since upgrading to 10.4.4
mail will only receive if i quit and restart even though i have it set in preferences to auto check every minute
also when mail is running the 'get mail' button works once, and then won't do anything unless again i quit and restart
this is my second posting on the same subject
all my posting yesterday got me was another user agreeing they they also had the same problem
can anyone offer any help ?
Alan,
The command is Mailbox, and not Mailboxes.
For me, the fifth option is Online Status -- if you only have one account (I have eight) then perhaps this option is not presented. Go Online being gray indicates the account is Online, which is the confirmation I was seeking. Likewise the sixth option is Get New Mail which presents the same choices between multiple accounts -- you likely do not have this, either.
Having established that the account is online, let's clear the Preferences in a more complete manner than can be done in the Mail program. Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library and locate the Mail folder. Duplicate the Mail folder, and then drag the copy to your Desktop for temporary backup. Next, open Home/Library/Preferences and find the file named com.apple.mail.plist and drag it to the Desktop (this you will likely later delete).
Start Mail again, and it should open as new. Simply enter your .mac account info again, and then proceed to test again, setting the interval to check at 5 minutes.
Ask any questions needed to be comfortable with this.

"Push" E-Mail still not working with iPhone!
I'm not sure what the problem is here with Yahoo and Apple but to this day I still encounter very big issues with push E-Mail regarding Yahoo and Apple...it just doesn't work! I now have a new iPhone (2G, 16GB) because I dropped my old one and the screen cracked (cement ouch). Anyways I got my new phone last week (via eBay) and once again push mail is not working. I either have to manually check or mail comes in when it feels like it...in some cases HOURS later! Or if my phone is locked/asleep the mail doesn't come into my phone until I pick up my phone and start using it. Yesterday I went to go use my phone, I slid the slider to unlock it to bring me to my home screen, the mail icon showed no mail. The next thing I know all this mail starts pouring into my phone (22 messages to be exact)! I was like geeze...this is so messed up!
Push email continues to not function properly for me as well. The only time it ever works is if I'm actively on the phone after its been sleeping for a while, or when it polls for my other email accounts (in which case I get my "push" email at the same intervals as my regular email, making push worthless).
None of the other functions of the iPhone does this. When I receive a call or SMS text message, my phone notifies me immediately. What is the purpose of having "push" email that notifies me when I received new mail if I have to still manually check my device? This has been one of the iPhone 3G's weaknesses since launch and STILL has yet to be fixed.
Running iPhone 2.2. Software 2.2.1 did not address any changes with Mail. -
My BT mail has been out of action for three days now, reading My BT account news section the problem has been resolved. My email is still not working, i have cleared cache and cookies as suggested and also reset login password but still not working. Can anyone help ????
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi T28CEY
Because of the recent problems with BT Mail it seems as though BT have put some accounts back onto Yahoo. This would appear to be causing problems with the settings on phones and some computers.
The correct settings are here
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44917/kw/bt%20mail/c/346,6588,6591
and you should use the password that you use to log onto webmail.
If you have a look at the following thread, the poster deleted the accounts from his devices and reset them up. I am not sure as I have not seen what the device is logging onto but I suspect it is using the "old" settings for BTYahoo.
If you do decide to do that be aware that if your account is a POP3 account you will need to back up your emails that you have saved on your devices as you may loose them.
If it is an IMAP account you should not have any problems with loosing them as they should still be on the server, which you can confirm by logging on via webmail.
Once the problems have been resolved and you are re-migrated back to BTMail you will probably need to change the settings on your device again so that you are using the BTMail settings and not the BTYahoo ones.

Mail still not loading after Mavericks update
I've been waiting for an update to Mavericks because I hadn't been able to launch Mail since upgrading from Snow Leopard. (I use several Gmail accounts and the "All Mail" trick suggested a couple weeks ago didn't apply to me.) So, yesterday I downloaded the new version. Unfortunately, the same thing is happening; when I click on Mail, a series of information windows open - "Upgrading your Mail database…", "Identifying message conversations…", "Optimizing your Mail database…" - and then whatever window is displayed at the moment disappears and nothing else happens. Mail does NOT open. Still. I can't use an OS if it doesn't support an e-mail program.
Are others still locked out of Mail in Mavericks? More importantly, does anyone have a fix? Is Apple still working on bugs in this program? If not, I'm stuck at 10.6.8.To see your user library, either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command
and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible. -
Since downloading the OS X Yosemite upgrade Apple Mail isn't working. I think there's a major bug.
It hangs and won't respond. Can't access the Mail menu bar commands to make any changes. It crashes. It isn't displaying email content. And, quite oddly, the message viewer window is doing a "punch through" and revealing what's displayed on the desktop behind it.
I see many similar complaints about Apple Mail in these forums. I contacted Apple to see if the issues could be resolved - They acted like they haven't heard anything about Apple Mail problems. They had me re-install Yosemite. Same Apple Mail issues still exists. This is a disaster for those of us who use Apple MAil in our business communications. APPLE HELP!
Does anyone know of a solid work-around, a patch or alternate?

Like it says in the title, I already transfered to iCloud days ago, and now I go to check my e-mail and VOILA! Apple/.Mac/iCloud are acting all brand new, like I never did any thing!
So I go through the palabra again to continue using my .Mac e-mail, part of the whole *Family Pack* set-up I paid for each year circa $200 for the whole nine yards for the past six years, only to be told that in their infinite wisdom dwelling in their cushy bubble in Cupertino, Apple will no longer have the service I've been paying for, and "oh, don't worry, you can still have your e-mail"...
Still no e-mail. Still no consistently working .Mac service. Congratulations, Apple. Y'all are starting to look more and more like Microsoft, and no, that is not a complement.i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue -
Sent Mail STILL not showing anything in the attachments column
I was hoping this would be fixed with the 10.7.1 update but it hasn't happened.
All I can see is the paper clip icon at the top of the column, but NO indication of any attachments alongside individual messages. So how am I supposed to know that my attachments were sent? Or which emails I sent with attachments?
Divine insight? Magic crystals? Intuition? Or is not showing attachments just another a new Apple feature I am unable to appreciate?Oh and BTW, it seems I can't edit the message I just posted. Another feature, I suppose.

Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.

Package javax.mail does not exist (Still having trouble)

Bare with me please, I am making this post very thorough. The other threads I have read are frusterating because the problems people tend to post are not clear.

27 errors
Here are the methods I have tried...
1. Make sure you have most current version of Java
2. Reinstall Java
3. Attempt to compile in an IDE (Attempted in Eclipse 3.2)
4. Set class path
Some sources suggest "CLASSPATH" some suggest "CLASS PATH" as the variable name. I have tried both.
Below is what the classpath looks like in bold.
Variable Name: CLASS PATH
Variable value: c:\download\javamail-1.4\mail.jar;C:\download\jaf-1.1\activation.jar;.
I have double checked all folder names and copy pasted all entries to eliminate typos. Javamail-1.4 and jaf-1.1 are both located in c:\download which is the same location Class Path points to.
Thank you very much for your input and effort. I can imagine how frusterating it is responding to 20million javamail posts :) (that may be a bit of an overstatement!)
Thank you again!

irbiYes - I have read that part of the README and did exactly as it has said in a previous attempt. I should have mentioned that here I'm sorry :)
I moved the .jar files into the download folder and set the classpath exactly as the readme shows.
When I do that the msgsend.java compiles correctly but it still does not run.
Below is what happens.
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\download\javamail-1.4
\mail.jar;%CLASSPATH%;c:\download\jaf-1.1\activation.jar.
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>javac msgsend.java
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>java msgsend.java
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: msgsend/java
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>
I have tried fixing this error as well via forums and FAQs but it seems to be the most generic error.
One suggestion was to clear your classpath. I tried this with a test hello world program which was giving the same error - "NoClassDefFoundError". By clearing the classpath I was able to get the hello world program to run without this error. But I can't just clear the classpath in this instance because it needs to point to mail.jar and activation.jar for the program to compile.
Thanks again for all of your efforts. You are more appreciated than you know. -

There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.
mannyace wrote:
Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important. -

But without the specifications defined by your ISP no one can tell you any more specific details. They should have a web page somewhere (or call them) that supplies all the relevant information:
Incoming (pop) mail server
mail login user name and password
pop port
ssl requirements
authentication type (password?)
Outgoing (smtp) mail server

Apple Mail STILL does NOT sync with GMAIL...even with Mavericks 10.9.2...why?
Apple MAIL still does not sync well with Gmail.
I have to close Apple Mail program down, re-load it, select "synchonize all accounts." Then MAYBE it will finally sync up. If not, I do this again and again. Then, randonmly it seems, it finally syncs.
My iOS devices sync instantly and accurately 100% of the time. When I pull down the inbox to update, it does so almost at once. Accurately.
WHY does Mavericks APPLE MAIL have so many issues STILL!? Worked fine before Mavericks? Is there a solution?
MikeI'm not sure if you were seriously asking or just looking for a place to vent, but I've read a lot about this topic and so I'll give a brief reply.
Unfortunately, I've not seen a solution to this problem. Many people have had success with various "voodoo" solutions (re-starting or some variant) but there's really been no reliable, consistent answer to this problem. Most people seem to think that syncing was improved (but was not completely fixed) with the 10.9.2 update. The only "solution" I've seen is to move off of GMail.
As to WHY this is happening, well, again I've not seen anybody diagnose the problem in any scientific way, but the consensus seems to be that this problem started because Apple modified the way the Mail program stored and indexed a GMail account. Many people (including you) say "it worked fine before" and yes perhaps it did, but there was a big problem lurking.
As you might know, Google moved off the mail standard when they created their mail system. Now, this is a rant for another post, but IMO by doing that they should have provided code for 3rd-party mail clients to use their new mail system properly. But of course that would defeat any competitive advantage their own client had, so instead all they did was support an IMAP interface.
The problem is that when an email arrives at your GMail account, it is in your Inbox and also in the "All Mail" folder. This is not in concert with IMAP protocol where a message is only in one folder. So a naive IMAP email client downloads such a message twice. If a message happens to be in a several folders (tags in GMail-speak), an IMAP client downloads it several times. It might have looked like it was "working fine" to you, but for people who have many gigabytes of mail, this duplication is a big problem.
Likewise, if you search for an email, an unaware IMAP client will find it in multiple folders, and report back each copy. Anyway, you get the idea. Apple tried to improve their Mail client to support this, and unfortunately they have a big bug. Well, I say "big" because it really annoys me. Apparently it must be not be affecting a large percentage of Mavericks users or else they would have fixed it by now. Even more annoying, there's no "switch" to get Mail to act like a dumb IMAP client again. It appears to detect that it is talking to GMail and this new system kicks in automatically. (Perhaps this could be tricked by using some kind of proxy?)
So why is this not happening on iOS? Well, again, nobody knows for sure (and Apple isn't saying), but the theory is that they didn't implement this complex scheme on iOS (yet). Maybe they were first testing it out on Mavericks, or perhaps they didn't think it was worth the trouble because on iOS the Mail caches are typically much smaller. On a desktop machine, usually there is a copy of all your IMAP mail sitting on the disk. On a mobile device, only a few messages are kept around at any time.
Sorry I don't have more info to give at this time. Good luck.
Bark.
