Mail stopped working

I have had this iTouch for 10 days now. I have version 2.0.2(5C1) and everything was working perfectly until I connected the iTouch to my Mac Powerbook today. Then, Mail stopped working altogether. Send or Receive is not working. I just see a "Checking for Mail..." sign at the bottom of the screen when I go into an Inbox (gmail, me or company email). All other apps seem to be working fine.
Any suggestions (other than to throw this wonderful POS out?) I actually do mean "wonderful" because I did love this until today. Maybe the "Mobile me" is screwing this up....thoughts?

Hi CInglez ,
Do you care to share what the solution was? I thought when you ask a question on forum and hope that people reply, should'nt you update if you have resolved the problem.
Anyway, you are not obliged to anyway.
Just wanted to update that i was facing the similar issues.
OCS version: 10.1.2.4
OS: SuSE 9 Update 3
Issues: Could not telnet on OCS server localhost on port 25, even though the listener_es and all email processes were running.
Solution: set the stack size to 512
Step by step instructions to resolve:
1.logon to the terminal running ocs apps server as oracle user
2. run ulimit -a and you will find that stack size is set to unlimited (assuming you have it to default)
3. set stack size to 512, by running the following command:
ulimit -s 512
4. run ulimit -a and ensure the value for stack size has changed.
5. from that same session run: $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopall
5. Now start all the process from that same session: $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
This has resolved the issue for me, to set this parameter permanently please follow the metalink note # 395083.1
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Dipak

Why does mail stop working?

Why does mail stop working when it has worked fine for years?

OK, thank you. I use apple for e-mail. I have an @me address and I have long subscribed to mobile me, which has recently become icloud. Yesterday the @me mail account appeared to stop recognizing my e-mail password for my primary mail account on my two imacs but not on my ipad. The most recent e-mail I have received on my imacs is 7:16am yesterday, but I know from my ipad that I have received numerous e-mails since then. I have other mail accounts, including one for the school where I teach. I am receiving e-mail on the school account ok.
I made no changes to my password or otherwise for my primary mail account any time recently. I also still have my @mac address.
Generally, I do not understand icloud. I do not understand how to sync information across computers.
When I go to preferences in mail and I click and accounts and account information, I do not understand anything that I see there. When I try to re-type my password, there seems to be no way to save it except to switch to another mail account. I know from past experience that if I attempt to fix whatever might be wrong with mail I do not know what I am doing.
Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

TS3276 Icloud mail stops working 3 minutes after I sign in

Icloud mail stops working every time I sign in, for some reason it just freezes wherever I am working. No idea

When I try to log onto a new site the blue line in the text box freezes and the connection does not take place. This happens about 5 minutes after logging on.
There are many possible reasons for that.
Most likely a corrupted cookie or cache file for that site may be responsible.
On the Safari menu bar got to Safari -> Empty Cache
Then go to Safari -> Preferences and click on the 3rd symbol from right.
Click on Details -> type the name of the particular site (e.g. facebook) in the search field and delete all upcoming entry's.
Restart Safari and try again to log in on the site.

Mail stopped working - closes within 2 seconds

As of 2/14 my iPhone mail stopped working. I lauch the application, it opens briefly and immediately closes. I link to Road-runner through Outlook on the PC and have MobileMe for push syncing.
After completely reinstalling the email accounts, MobileMe, etc. the problem persists. It opens, now appears to be searching for a connection (a first) then shuts down.
Any ideas?

I had this same problem yesterday happen all of a sudden. My iphone is less than a month old and email has worked fine. I had two mail accounts on my phone, one mobileme & one gmail for work. The phone would seamlessly give me my email for both accounts, I thought it was pretty sweet. Then yesterday, I went to open my email and it would open for 3 seconds and close. If I switched from gmail to mobileme, it was sometimes staying open longer, but would still close. I called tech support and they had me reset the phone twice and finally restore the phone from backup. That didn't work either. Unfortunately, the only thing that finally worked was to delete the Gmail account from my phone. Now mail is working just fine. I plan to go to the Genius bar so I can put my Gmail account back on my phone.

Mail stopped working on Airport Express wifi.

Using Airport Express. Suddenly, only Mail stopped working on my iPad & iPhone, using my home Airport Express. Other internet site work. Mail works on different wifi network. I deleted Yahoo Account in iPad Settings. Re-entering the Yahoo Account gives the msg "IMAP server 'apple.imap.yahoo.com' is not respondig. Check network connection ant that you entered correct info in 'Incoming Mail Server' field.

Had the very same problem with ATT DSL and mail @ my domain. Tried everything including pestering the crap out of my hosting service. Turned out to be AirPort Extreme firmware version 7.6.4 (the latest). I downgraded with Airport Utility to 7.6.3 and all is fine.

Mail stopped working after replacing primary HD

Apple Mail stopped working after replacing and restoring the Main Hard Drive in the upper bay. Internet connection is good, and the Mail client troubleshooting (Comcast) was no help. I can start the App, but it does not retrieve or send mail through Comcast anymore. I have a MacBook Pro with the same settings and Mail works fine.

Thanks for replying.
This is odd because my PowerMac G5 with Leopard Mail cannot receive or send email. Connection doctor is showing all red dots on every email account with Comcast (BTW, GMAIL accounts okay). On my Blackberry, and my MacBook Pro (Lion), the setting are all the same, passwords, etc., and the later two have no issues. I even created a test Administrator Account in "Accounts" in System Preferences on the G5, logged into the Test Account and tried to create a new mail account with the same settings, and yet during the set-up (Welcome to Mail), I get an error message that says Mail cannot log into Comcast's POP server with the current settings. I have also tried changing passwords, no help. Also the usual disk repair, permissions, motherboard resets, zapping PRAM, etc.
Out of ideas...
Thanks for any help...

Try to reset your ipad and/or force quit the mail app
Reset
Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
Force close an app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

Why not tell us who is your email provider.

Exchange mail in mac mail stopped working

I have been using a exchange IMAP mail on my mac mail for several years now. Recenty the volume of emails in my inbox was exceeding the size limit set by the administrator. I created seperate mailboxes on my mac to store old emails, which was working fine for sometime. However, all of a sudden one day, my mail stopped working correctly: The inbox is constantly thinking (the circiling bars are always circiling), it does not move emails to my offline mailboxes, it does not erase emails, it take at least 15 minutes to receive and/or send emails. I have tried to update the envelope index but no change. I have the same account on my ipad and iphone, and both work fine, only on my mac book (lion ISO) is it not working.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

SMTP Server down/Outgoing mail stopped working

Wednesday morning, July 1, my outgoing mail stopped working. I'm using Mac Mail on OSX Yosemite. Incoming mail is working just fine. Outgoing says it can't make a connection.I have it set as smtp.comcast.net port 465 Use SSL is checked. Password authentication. I have rebooted the router (which came from Comcast). I've tried unchecking password authentication, chaging to port 567. Nothing works.

No.. Still isn't working. I tried the .plist edit solution (which frankly, seemed like a bad idea) and deleting all the comcast entries from the keychain. I was prompted for a password when receiving mail, but sending mail is still not working.

Apple's e-mail stopped working early this morning.

This morning around 2:15am (EST), something changed with my Apple mail, and it cannot be accessed via any method (Mac Mail, iPhone, iPad, or even directly with the iCloud website.) Cannot send or receive. My other non-me.com accounts work fine.
All my iOS devices and Mac Mail tell me "rejected the password", even after restarts, etc.. iCloud simply says "Cannot Load Mail", and quits back to iCloud main screen. In case it was a strange password error, I logged in to https://appleid.apple.com and changed to a new (very secure) password, gave it 10 minutes (hours now), but it still will not work.
I can still log onto my account on apple.com. I can still get into my iTunes Store account, iOS App Store, etc. No other Apple problems, just my email!
I know it happened around 2:15am, because I have a business where it emails me through this account automatically once every 15 min or so, and after 2:15am it stopped. I was in bed asleep at that time, so it shouldn't have been something I did?
I can't find support where other people are having the same problem, so I worry what could have happed? The only thing I can think of, (and this has been in my concern since I first created this account) is that my username (robots) is too similar to the name 'robot', which typically is used for a server maintenance/automated account, and that someday Apple would make me change the account name. Or am I paranoid?
HELP! This is screwing up my business, as none of my incoming order emails are able to be received!

Has your iCloud service also stopped working via web access with your browser, or only in Mail?
I have had no interruption of the iCloud email service during the last several days, nor for that matter before.
More info, please.?

Search in Mail stopped working

Suddenly, search in Mail has stopped working. I can type in a simple word like "we" (without the quotes, of course) and nothing appears in the list. It doesn't matter if I choose a specific mailbox or "All Mailboxes," or "From" "To" "Subject" or "Entire Message," nothing appears.
I just now selected a word from the body of one of my incoming messages, "choosing," and pasted it into the search box. When I click on "Subject" it finds two messages, "Congratulations on choosing to gain..." and "Choosing the right opportunity for you" but it finds nothing when I click on "Entire Message!"
Something is obviously messed up here.

I was able to solve all my problems with searching in Mail with a simple process. I backed up my entire machine with Time Machine, then booted from my OS X install / restore DVD. Then selected restore from time machine backup, it rewrote my entire hard drive with the backup from time machine and upon booting back up, Mail reindexed all messages and my computer was exactly how I left it before I backed it up.
The problems I was having with mail included:
Unable to search 'entire message'
Unable to search 'entire message' when a specific inbox was selected
Able to search messages from spotlight in the Finder, but then they would disappear.
The spotlight index not being updated when new mail came in, making it unsearchable.
Plus a slew of other search in Mail problems.
Backing up and then doing a full restore from Time Machine solved all the problems.
Hope this helps,
Vince
