Mail takes all mail account offline. I have duplicated this twice now. Let see if we can solve this.
I see others have had this problem but I do not see a solution. Simply put mail takes all accounts offline. The user is unable to return them to online status. Logging out or restarting will not allow the reenabling of the accounts. It takes deleting some of the files associated with mail and re entering the accounts info. I have seen this happen only when I have high date rate incoming internet traffic and mail attempts to retrieve the mail and it may take a few times. I download quite a few linux dvd isis so at time my bandwidth is full. This is when it has happened every time.
Even after the traffic has ceased mail is unable to connect. I ran disk util to see if there was a permission problem. I disabled the firewall to see if something changed there. Now note only mail seems affected i.e. internet usage is not. I tried pinging the smtp server no returns.

What files contain the config data for mail? The plist file?
Before I forget this is a macbook pro running 10.9.3 OS X Mail is Version 7.3 (1878.2)
connection doctor says mail was able to connect to the internet( notice trace route appears okay) but then complains the servers are unreachable.
Any thoughts, things to try etc.?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

my os is windows xp
Hello roja,
1a) If you have the AppTab(the orange button at the top-left corner) enabled, click on the Firefox App Tab (button).
1b) If you use menus, go to the Tools Menu, and click on Options.
2) Go to Options (it's in the second column of choices), then options again.
3) In the Options Window, go to the Applications Tab. (Be warned, it lags a little, because the list needs time to load.)
4) Please find out what the type of file you were downloading(eg: .exe, .jpg, .mp3, etc.). Once you remember it, find it in the list of type of files.
5) Click on the type of file, and click on "Open in ..." and change it to "Always ask."
If you want, you can spend your time changing all of them to "Always ask."
Hope that helps! Reply if you don't understand, or need further guidance.
Kind Regards, Aaron. -
Mail takes all accounts offline for apparently no reason
For reasons unknown, Mail takes all my accounts offline. If I take all my accounts online and then click "get mail" all accounts are taken offline. This started with one account and suddenly spread to the other accounts. They are all POP accounts. The first account that did so for some reason would not allow me to change the smtp and the only choice was "account name - offline". Any ideas? I check mail manually and dont have it set to check automatically so it is not a question of checking too often. My iPhone is not set to check the accounts either...I dont have mobile me. Thanks...
I can't help here... but give my input about mail- I get sporadic weird things with mail and just learned to ignore them like a fly buzzing around the head. After a while it goes back to normal. Things like mail asking for passwords (I now just cancel this instead of re entering passwords), accounts going off line, mail freezing- this happened like three times this week... but not last month...

I just downloaded Maverick last week, and ALL of my contact groups have duplicated. When I use one to send a group e-mail, everything is doubled in the address bar. Any suggestions? Very frustrating.
Hello Joannah,
Thank you for details of the issue you are experiencing with duplicates in Contacts after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. I would be frustrated by this too.
If you have enabled iCloud Contacts, I recommend following the steps in the article below:
iCloud: Resolving duplicate Contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147
If you’re not using iCloud, I recommend this article instead:
Contacts (Mavericks): Combine duplicate contacts

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

can anyone tell me why everytime i sunk ma phone it takes all me ringtones that i have bought off ma phone??
Actually you mean sync. lol And probably "my" iPhone.
It is probably removing the ringtones because they were added under a different Apple ID than the one you are syncing with. -

hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?
So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac". I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

I upgraded from iPhone 4 to a 5 and my emails have duplicated. Those I received and read on my Mac this morning have come in again and show unread so I have 2 of all of them. Any idea what setting is causing this? Thanks.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Double tap Home button, delete Mail from multitask-bar.
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data. -
My friend loggen in with his instagram account on my phone then logged off, now i see his instagram notifications on my lock screen , what can i do about this problem ?(
I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?
Nope
One needs to press the home and sleep / wake keys together for the phone to reset
The other thing I could recommend
Let the battery run out and the phone completely "die"
It may take a day or two with it not being used
Then plug it in to charge and see if there is any change in behavior
If you cannot get this to work - you may need to bring it to an Apple store
