Mail suddenly stops retrieving mail for one of 4 accounts

I'm in the middle of a project, getting a steady stream of e-mails to a particular account, when sometime last night Apple Mail stopped retrieving my mail from Comcast for that account.
I logged into Comcast, my mail is sitting there, but the Apple Mail client isn't picking it up. (The other 3 accounts, which are set up identically on Comcast and in Apple Mail Preferences, continue to work normally.)
Re-entered the password in Mail Preferences for that account, it still doesn't work.
Closed and opened Mail, no go for that account. Restarted my Mac, no fix for this Mail glitch.
Thinking that I would have to delete it, I emptied the Inbox and Sent mail for the bad account (moved the mail to mailboxes on my Mac).

Connection Doctor is all green dots, for all mailboxes
I tried to rebuild the mailbox in question, NOTHING HAPPENED. Absolutely nothing showed up in the Activity window.
What now? I am prepared to delete and re-establish that one account in Apple Mail, but I want to lose a minimum of data. I definitely do not want to blow away the other accounts and mailboxes!

You are welcome.

Mail stuck - Cant download mail for one use

My mail server running 10.4.8 was running fine, until yesterday I cant download mail for one user. I know there's mail in the account verified by the usage in Server Admin.
Using Mail a second account I have still works fine, but one of them wont retreive my mail. For that one account Mail has a spinning wheel for half a minute at least whereas the working account stays on for half a second. Both accounts are POP only.
I've tried Reconstruct on that account via Server Admin. I've also installed mailbrf and ran -m on that account and -f on the database. I've also restarted my machine. No change.
I've turned on POP logging to debug, and the log is identical for the working and non-working account.
Any suggestions?

MY GAWD! I just got all my mail! lol. Here's what changed....
Nothing at all was changed with the server.
However I recently got a new wireless router and swapped them, and after that all my mail came through. I dont understand this.
Before cloning the router to get it to work, I plugged my new wireless router to my ISP and I was assigned a new IP, so that was one change. Another change is the brand of the router and possibly the settings, however I think I set it up identically (ie. same WAN/LAN IP, same ports forwarded, server still has the same static IP.
Both mydomain.com and mail.mydomain.com point to my server via my router, and even though I check my mail from within the LAN side, I connect to mail.mydomain.com so it connects outside my network. And nothing changed with my domain settings other than me changing the IP address for both my domain and subdomain.
So in summary the changes are:
1. New wireless router (but same configuration for the most part)
2. New IP address
I still dont understand why I was unable to retrieve my mail before. I'm going to leave his question as 'unresolved' to see if I can understand what happened so I know for the future.
Thanks for all your earlier suggestions and I look forward to figuring out what the problem was.

Syncing read/unread e-mail for a non-mobileme account

Hi
While mobileme accounts sync fine. My work account doesn't. So if I use Mail on my iPhone, I have to go through my e-mail twice. Every e-mail on the server is marked as unread so I have hundreds of e-mail waiting to be downloaded to my iPhone.
Is there a way to sync read/unread e-mail for a non-mobileme account?

The reason this is available with your MobileMe account is because your MM account is an IMAP account. An IMAP account is designed for this very thing - accessing an email account with more than one email client on different computers and/or devices keeping all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
The same is available with any IMAP account, and this is supported with an Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync with the iPhone's mail client.
Your work account must be a POP account, which isn't supported with a POP account. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP
account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

How to stop update notification for one app (iMovie) that I do not want to update

How to stop update notification for one app (iMovie) that I do not want to update. I do not want iMovie 10 taking up nearly 3 gb on my hard disc. iMovie 9 is just fine and only takes up 1.5 gb. But I get notifications to update and don't know how to turn it off. I've gone into the Purchases tab of the App store and deleted it. I don't want to turn off Update notifications (which is irrelevant in any case because I see no option to do that in Notifications system preference pane). I just don't want to be bugged about iMovie updates. The only option I'm given is to postpone the next reminder until the next morning. -- Franklin

Interesting; never came across that - here is the window I get (just double clicked on a random doc in the trash):

IPhone 6 not loading new mail for one but not second email account since Monday

I acquired my iPhone 6 about a month ago and had no problem working and connected to my Yahoo! and Gmail email accounts. However, since Monday, no new mail is loading for my Yahoo! account. It had been working up until then. My Gmail account is totally fine.
I tried fiddling with the setting, deleting my Yahoo! account and re-adding it, and checking the password. Nothing has worked so far.

This is a known issue with the Yahoo email account, which is notoriously bad.
You've done most of the troubleshooting for it - suggest you try using the Yahoo email app.

Is it safe to disable outgoing mail from one of my accounts?I

I have two e-mail accounts, but want to eventually stop using one of the accounts and use my gmail account full time.
Sometimes when I send e-mail it will use my old e-mail address as the sending address. I want to cease using the old e-mail address to send mail so it will decrease people replying to and using the old address.
How can I stop that address from being used for outgoing mails? Can I change to "None" for Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), or will that create problems for me?

Hi & welcome to the forums!
See if this from Mail>Help... helps...
"Setting the account your email is sent from
If you have multiple email accounts, *you can choose to send all messages from the same account*, or you can select a different account for each message you send.
To choose an account from which to send all messages, choose Mail > Preferences. Click Composing and choose the account from the "Send new mail from" pop-up menu. By default, messages are sent from the account of the last viewed mailbox.
To choose an account for a message you're composing, click the Account pop-up menu and choose an account.
If the Account pop-up menu is not displayed, click the Customize Header pop-up menu in the header area and choose Customize. Select the checkbox next to Account and then click OK.
To change the order in which accounts are listed in the mailbox list, drag the account mailboxes into the order you want in your Inbox. You can also rearrange the account order in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences."

Cannot Get Mail for more than 5 accounts at a time

I have a total of 9 POP email accounts setup in Mail. The problem is that my dedicated server doesn't allow for more than 5 simultaneous send/receives per IP (which unfortunately cannot be changed). When I click on "Get Mail", I see it tries to get mail for all accounts at once, and I need to somehow change that within Mail. Ideally I need it to check accounts individually or, as you can do in Entourage, group it into send/receive schedules with 4 per group.
I am desperate, someone please help!

If App Store has an app that can make, e.g., zip archives of multiple photos, then it could help (you package a bunch of photos in a zip file, and then you send only one attachment; the zip file).
Disclaimer: I don't know the App Store apps nor the iPhone SDK well enough to know if such an app exists or if it is even possible.

Airport Express network suddenly no longer visible -for one Mac..but wait

Hi everyone
Setup isDSL modem>ethernet>"downstairs" AX...."upstairs" AX connects fine to it as a WDS remote station with 128-bit hex password....
The two ibooks, one G3 one G4 connect fine, and so did the PowerMac g4 desktop that was formerly the software base station (range was too short, so got the AX's). The desktop suddenly stopped seeing the network. Then, it came back on, for about an hour and the internet connect infor showed it being connected for the 60 hours elapsed since that seeming disappearance. Then it went away... 60 hours later, up it popped again, again for an hour, and I downloaded pics from AOL, browsed etc. Come back to find it gone again and has not returned.
Problem is either software/configuration based or intermittent hardware -- how can I find out without replacing the part? (The solution to the very similar problem posted a few days ago had to do with a channel switch... my WDS system base stations are on channel 6 (their choice, I guess).. does not seem to apply.
Does anyone think the Security Update 2006-005 would help, and how would I get it to my non networked desktop?
Thanks for help!

Well, from reading some other posts, and trying my own experimenting, I have gotten it to work.
Deleting the keychain did nothing, manually connecting to the network by typing the name in etc.. nothing.
What DID work was using my G3 iBook (which could see the network) to use the Airport Administrator to change the channel from Automatic to manual - in this case channel 7 (a completely arbitrary choice).
The thing I cannot work out is why it had this issue in the first place. It worked fine for months then one day decided that it apparently didn't like automatic channel selection.
The problem is solved but the cause is still a mystery.
Hopefully though, this might help others with the same problem.

Can i use mail for 2 different email accounts?

I use my MacBook as a work computer and a home computer.
I dont really like Office for Mac.
Can I use Mail for work email and home email ( 2 seperate accounts )

Absolutely, you just need to add and setup the second account in the Preferences menu.

Our OS X version 10.6.8 stopped sending emails from one of three accounts but receives fine...the settings appear unchanged and the same as the other accts. thoughts?

We have a century link (old qwest) q.com email address that has been set up on the mac and had worked fine for sometime and now only receives, but does not send messges...I am guessisng that centurylink outgoing server changed. but what is odd, is that the apple system no longer accepts the username and password for the account so I wonder if it has something to do with the apple security...I tried to build an entirely new set up witht he same address, but the same password denial comes up when trying to send only

try another smtp relay service...
in either case, you may want to setup an SPF record for your domain which specifies the relay service is authorized to send mail for your domain.

FileVault in Mavericks for one user's account.

I used to have one user's files/partition encrypted via FileVault. When I tried to do that in Mevericks it only allows me to encrypt the whole HD, not just one user's drive.
I opened a user's account, opened Security & Privacy in System Preferences and turned FileVault on - just like I did before. My Mac then tries to encrypt the whole HD, which is not what I want. How can I just encrypt just one user's account, like in Mountain Lion ?

Hi Sada,
It looks like there is an issue with the user.
Please check the User address and attribute consistency using BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE (Object Synchronization & Repair).
Try executing this transaction by inputting the Business Partner number of the User.
In case of inconsistency with address or Object links then these kind of errors pop up.
Using USERS_GEN txn. delete the employee assignment of this user and then reassign the SU01 user to the responsible organization.It will generate a new BP.
Also you can check for the consistency of this user using BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE txn.
Then try creating shopping cart using this user.
Hope this will resolve your issue. Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.

Mail suddenly stopped retrieving from my email provider...

Upgraded to Moutain Lion a week ago. So I do not know if this is a ML issue. But figured it was a place to start.
My email is hosted through Network Solutions and has performed flawlessly for 7 years.
Yesterday - Apple Mail 6.0 stopped receiving emails. I would get intermittant offline signals - would open the Connection Doctor and it would be red/off/or green.
I double checked my Network Solutions account and saw the unreceived emails sitting there. So I haven't lost any.
Apple Mail now shows green lights "connected to tthe internet".
But I am not getting any test emails I send to myself or have friends send to me. Meaning - they are not downloading to my Apple email client. They are still sitting at Network Solutions.
My cable provider - who has also worked flawlessly for the two years I have had them (I work from home) is Charter Internet. I don;t know what, if any, effect they may have on things. Right now just can;t seem to get email to talk to email provider.
Abd the ONLY thing that has changed at all is the OS. So I figured I'd start there.
Any help is appreciated.

After waiting on hold for an hour with Network Solutions - a recording popped up and said - "Your wait now is no more than 54 minutes"
I about blew a gasket. And hung up.
This is really strange. But - is this happening a lot more than is being talked about on the Apple Discussion board?
I have not had an opportunity to reinstall ML yet.

Voice mail for one user with two extensions

Environment:
Cisco Unified CM Administration System version: 7.1.3.30000-1
Cisco Unity Connection Administration Version 7.1.3.10000-68
We have a user this year that will be wearing two hats and will have offices in two different locations. I have both extensions as a line on each phone. Now I just need to point both extensions to the same voicemail box or give the user two mail boxes. It seems that CM Administration only supports one voicemail box per user. I think it would be easier for the user to only have to check one mail box by having both extensions point to the same VM. How can I accomplish this?

Hi Andy,
Let's say the user has numbers 7005 & 8450 but we want only one mailbox
@ 7005. There are a couple of ways to do this.
In CUCM go to> Feature> Voicemail> Voicemail Profile and create a new Profile called XXXX (whatever name you want) with a Description called "XXXX username Mailbox" the Voice Mail Box Mask will be 7005> Save
Then via CUCM go to the Users Phones> under Directory Number Config for 8450> Voicemail Profile and change to XXXX (created previously in above steps)>Update>Reset
Now when a call routes via forward to Unity Connection it will reach the Mailbox @ 7005.
Or in Unity Connection set up Alternate Extension so that 8450 is an Alternate Extension for 7005 etc.
Cheers!

Two alert mails for one alert rule

Hi,
I am getting two alert mails from two different users for same alert rule.
One user is PIRWBUSER and other is user mentioned in RFC channel. RFC channel user mail contains the order number data and other information like interface details are missing. For PIRWBSER user, interface details are coming in mail but order number is missing. I have selected suppress rule in RWB alert configuration. Please suggest.
How to send variable data through alert mail without BPM

Hi Swapnashree, I am facing the same issue since last year, and I couldn't solve it yet. I'll review it again in order to solve it, because I spent a lot of time trying to solve it and i was a waste of time always. It seems to be a comm user and the "alert user" uses the same "mail connectivity" for send error messages.
Keep in touch.
If some one knows the reason or the mistake in our hand, please, share this info.
Regards.
