Mail unsent for 4 hours message

I've recently started getting .mac mail bounced back to me from MAIL DELIVERY SUBSYSTEM saying that the message couldn't be delivered for the past 4 hours and would continue trying for 4 days. They never seem to go through. This only happens with mail to my parents. I can send them mail from a different ISP account, and my husband can send them mail from his .mac account. I have not changed my preferences and neither have they. I would suspect their ISP, except that my husband's .mac mail goes through.
Here's the relevant information from the warning message:
<parents' address>...Deferred:Invalid argument
Warnng: message still undelivered after 4 hours
Will keep trying until message is 4 days old
Reporting-MTA: dns; smtpout.mac.com
Action: delayed
Status: 4.4.2

  • No Order Status For 12 Hours

    I placed an order of  Xbox One Assassin's Creed Bundle with Extra Controller and I used paypal to pay. But my paypal had the old billing address, I updated it to new billing address after buying the xbox one.
    My paypal has been pending for 12hours at least, it is still not processed I think. And I can't find my order status even with my order number.
    Can someone check if my order is processing or not?

    Hi zjh5252,
    No need to worry! I was able to locate your account using the e-mail address you used to register for the forum and it looks like our fulfillment center has acknowledged your order and is in the process of picking your Xbox One bundle. We'll let you know as soon as it has been shipped, so make sure to keep an eye on both your inbox and junk mail folders for a confirmation message with tracking details over the next few days.
    Thanks for ordering with us!

  • New mail count for Inbox showing stopped activity icon

    Recently, the mail count for new (unread) messages on my primary (Inbox) folders shows a stopped activity icon, i.e. the clockwise spinning wheel or whatever you call that thing. Has anyone else seen this behavior, and if so, what are the possible causes and fixes?
    TIA, and happy holidays.

    Fixed in a follow-up release.

  • "Verifying updated iPhone software" message for 4 hours now, please help!

    I'm trying to update to 1.1.1 for 4 hours now, and after downloading and extracting the "Verifying updated iPhone software . . ." message doesn't disappear, nor does it advance or anything.
    my phone has never been hacked in any way nor have there been any 3rd party things installed. I signed up as a new at&t customer on day 2 of the iPhone release and never had any trouble till now.
    I'm currently overseas and won't be back for the next month. so I've been using me iPhone as an iPod and mail device (wherever I have wireless access) since at&t isn't working here.
    could that be why it is not verifying the software and "stuck" in this mode for more than 4 hours now?
    I haven't gotten any of the error messages that are mentioned in the other threads, but I'm afraid to disconnect it, as I'm not sure what's going to happen.
    Please help!

    never mind. I disconnected it, had to restore it to factory settings, but it all came back and now it's working with the new udpate!

  • Recently auto updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 but mail no longer works. Had my Mac in at the iStore for 3 hours to no avail. Someone out there must have a fix! Help!!!

    Just had an automatic update to 10.6.8 last week and then my mail app failed to work after that. Had my Mac in at the iStore in Cape Town for 3 hours and received it back with the same problem. Please advise if there is a fix for this or how I should go about sourting out the problem. Thanks in advance.

    Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
    Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
    When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
    The solution has been to:
    1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
    2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
    3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
    Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
    If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:

  • The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly

    I have a 2 server SharePoint farm.
    All outgoing emails were working fine.
    I just restarted both servers and now after that none of the emails are being sent. I am using OOB publishing workflow and it shows message:
    The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
    Even if I setup Alert on some list, it doesn't send email.
    I have checked that outgoing email setting in CA is defined and like I said it was working fine without problems but after restart it is showing error.
    What could be the cause of this and how to fix it?
    EDIT
    I removed outgoing mail server in CA, added again and restart IIS but still emails from OOB workflow is not being sent. But email from Alerts are being sent. Don't know what to do now.

    This is really weird, It works when an alert is set but workflows doesn't send emails... Can you create a simple 1 Step workflow in SPD to send an email when a specific field is set. See if this sends an email..
    AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY
    I created a test workflow which sends email to user and it is also not sending email. But I am getting email from SharePoint regarding "variation" page changes as well as alerts which I told above.

    Clean the connector on the bottom of the phone. Use a magnifying glass, bright light, and a wood or plastic toothpick. If you got the phone wet put it in a bag of uncooked rice for several days, not hours.

  • Incoming messages - E-Mail Alerts for Application Errors?

    Dear C4C Community,
    We are integrating C4C and our SAP ERP. Sometimes the business partner replication is not working due to unmapped entries or due to other reasons. Currently we are checking the web service message monitor manually for incoming message with status "Application Error".
    Is there any way to setup an automatic e-mail alert when new incoming message errors appear? I do not like the manual monitoring process.
    Looking forward to your feedback.
    Best Regards
    Matthias

  • How to disable message images in Mail app for all but contacts?

    I use the Mail app for OS X Mavericks and have been inundated with spam lately. I understand that spam email campaigns can confirm that you have opened their mail (and subsequently continue to send you mail) by image tracking so I would like to disable images from showing for all except my contacts. I don't recall if it was with Mail or another email client I previously used, but I vaguely remember message images not showing by default and requiring you to click a button at the top of the message in order to show the images within it. If possible, I would like to be able to do this for non-contacts.
    So my question is: how can I disable images from showing, by default, in messages from non-contacts within the Mail app?
    If there is no way to do this, can someone suggest an alternative email client for Mac OS that does allow this? I am willing to change if this feature does not exist within the Mail app.
    Thanks for your time.

    Personally, I've never heard of spammers tracking by a contact's image. I think you might be confusing this with the images in the message.
    Spammers can do two things to track you.
    1) Send an email with a read receipt. Mail doesn't support read receipts
    2) Send an email with an embedded image (sometimes called a bug or beacon). When the email is opened, the email software loads the image from the remote server by sending it an HTTP request.
    If a message matches the junk mail criteria, then a bar will appear near the top of the message. External images in the message will automatically be disabled, so that spam authors won’t be able to track if you’ve opened the message. To load the images, click the “Load Images” button in the bar, or to mark the message as not junk, select “Not Junk.”
    Mail > Preferences > Viewing >Uncheck Display remote images in HTML messages.
    Enable Junk filtering in Mail Preferences. Check "sender in in contacts, sender in in previous recipients**, message is addressed using full name.
    Use SpamSieve, third party product to filter spam, http://c-command.com/spamsieve/
    Keep contacts in your Address Book.
    Mark messages as junk to help train the junk filter.
    Don't open a message you think is spam. You should be able to see enough of a message in the preview to know if it's spam.
    ** Open Previous Recipients under Window in the Menu bar. Remove any addresses from spammers.

    - Could you help me with this issue?,

  • When I try to send e-mail I get an error message stating that the e-mail address was rejected by the server.  When I send to e-mail from another address, I get back an error saying the e-mail address is unknown.  My e-mail has worked fine for years until

    When I try to send e-mail I get an error message stating that the e-mail address was rejected by the server.  When I send to e-mail from another address, I get back an error saying the e-mail address is unknown.  My e-mail has worked fine for years until yesterday.  HELP!

    The specific text of the error message is very important here — I'm not sure exactly you're encountering here.
    If you're able to connect to your email server and are able send email to other email addresses and if the failures are specific to one email recipient address, then please contact the intended recipient of the failing email, and confirm their address is valid.  (This is the way I'm reading your question.)
    If you are unable to send any email to any other email addresses and this is specific to your email address, then try the web mail client interface (if one is available) to verify your login user and password, and check with your email ISP for assistance.  If your email password works via web mail, follow this Apple troubleshooting guide, then — if everything else fails — I'd probably then entirely remove the email account from Mail.app and re-add it per your email ISP's particular setup requirements.  (Some issue with the setup or maybe a corrupt setting in OS X or a problem at the mail ISP servers is a common problem, but this effects attempts to send to all email addresses via that account.)
    An email account setup is specific to an email provider, unfortunately.   If you're using one of the more common email ISPs, then there are usually setup guides and frequently-asked questions posted online.

  • The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.

    Hi,
    I have SP 2013, and it was working properly. and workflows send emails perfectly. yesterday, i decided to build a fresh site collection so i deleted the old one and created a new one. now, workflows are unable to send emails. i'm sure it has nothing to do
    with my mail server cuz no changes happened to it. i'm sure about the settings for outgoing mail on central admin. all i did, was to enter mail server IP in outgoing mail field and email below it.
    in the workflow status the status says "error" followed by this message: "The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly."
    Any help please?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to send email after building a fresh site collection.
    I recommend to verify that you have entered your SMTP server name correctly.
    You can add it as FQDN e.g. ServerName.DomainName.

  • Setting Importance Level for a email message using javax.mail.* API

    Setting Importance Level for a email message using javax.mail.* API
    From what I understand we can set Flag on Email Message. How can we set Importance Leve: High/Low for an email message?
    Thanks
    Purvi

    Most of the message Flags work only for IMAP mailboxes. POP3 supports only the DELETED flag. It must be understood that Javamail is a framework which provides all the features available in a standard mailing system. But whether or not a particular feature works is a functionality of the particular implementation being used.
    Thus for example POP3 cannot differentiate read from unread messages in a mailbox though Javamail provides that feature.
