Mail won't retrieve but the iphone synched with it will; with same details

I'm running Mail 2.1.3 and have the following issue...
Whenever Mail checks for new messages from 2 work addresses (pop3) it gives me the following error:
"The POP server “xxxxxxxxxxxx.com” rejected the password for user “xxxxxxxxxxxx.com”"
I know I have the correct settings because my iPhone is synched with this and other accounts on my MBP and the iphone connects to the account with no hassle?
I'm stumped.
Any help gratefully recieved.
Ben.

I can send from the specific account on my mac, in fact all of the accounts on my mac, the ones that can receive use port 110 (outgoing) already and the problem account is set to use that too. I tried changing it to port 995 but the error message said I was refused access to the email server.
Sometimes when I try to get new mail I DON'T get the error message about the incorrect login and the twirly circle thing spins and I get the 'no new mail' ping! sound... when I know there there are messages that the iPhone has downloaded.
Curiouser and Curiouser.

  • Pages won't print but the printer is connected and will print

    Is added the up app for printers. I can get the printer to print but when I ask pages to print a document it says no printer found. Any ideas?

    What app are you trying to print with? Not all printing apps will print documents and Pages might be looking for an AirPrint printer.

  • I want to download an app, it keeps telling me my password is wrong, I changed it on my mac and it was accepted, but the iphone still says it's wrong

    This same thing happend to me,  you have to make a new account and you have to chose your birthday as if your under 18 or 16,  because if you dont own a credit card,  you shouldnt be over this age,  so basictly just make a new email and appleID and when you chose your birthday,  do it under 16 years of age (or your REAL birthday) and you should have an option of clicking "none" for credit card options,  but if you want to buy something,  you will have to do the credit card stuff,  or you can just buy an apple gift card at basictly any store,  So this is how i fixed my problum,  i hope it works for you,  write back your responce of how it worked out please!

  • After Maverick install Mail won't open all the way

    MacBook Pro laptop had troubles upgrading to Maverick.  Kept saying no updates available.  Took to Genius Bar and they got it to accept Maverick so now I'm running 10.9.5  issue I have is with mail.  It says the application Mail is open in finder and the top tool bar also says Mail is open.  But the actual window with my email accounts and subfolders will not open.  On the top top Mail bar I can not select any of the File options.  So basically I can not access any of my mail on my laptop. What can I do?

    Hey Eustace,
    Ok the funny thing is I can not see that window at all, it never opens up.  Here is what I get.So I only can see the mail application open in the very top main tool bar and when I select File drop down list or Edit drop down list, I'm limited on what I can select as shown above.  Additional weirdness is I have another user on my computer and his mail window will open.  Does the above make sense?  I feel like its just some easy switch I'm overlooking but can't figure it out to save my insanity.
    As seen here I can not change the status of my accounts easily.

    Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
    Thank-you

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Mail won't retrieve my gmail messages since this afternoon. Can anyone help me?

    Since this afternoon, Mail won't retrieve any of my email messages. It sends my messages, but stays a long time "preparing to retrieve", until the activity closes as if there were no messages to retrieve (although they are in my gmail).
    I haven't changed any settings at all. I use OS X 10.7.5.
    Thanks a lot

  • Mail won't retrieve Gmail messages

    Since yesterday afternoon, Mail won't retrieve any of my email messages. It sends my messages from both my accounts, including my Gmail account, but stays a long time "preparing to retrieve" only my Gmail messages, until the activity closes as if there were no messages to retrieve (no retrieve or connection error messages or sounds) although they are still in my gmail.
    I haven't changed any settings at all. I use OS X 10.7.5. Connection doctor says everything "succeeded"
    Thanks for any help

    Step 1
    Take this step only if you have more than one incoming mail account, and only some of them are affected by the problem.
    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
    From the account list on the left, choose one of the accounts that is not giving trouble. Select the Account Information  tab if not already selected, and then uncheck the box marked
    Enable this account
    Repeat with each of the other well-behaved accounts. Don't disable the problem accounts.
    Step 2
    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Click Check Again and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.
    Step 3
    If you took Step 1, re-enable the disabled accounts.

  • Mail won't retrieve Junk from Hotmail

    Hello, I recently began using Mail on my iBook to retrieve my hotmail account. Everything works great except for the junk mailbox in the hotmail account. Mail won't retrieve any of these messages. I have to log back into hotmail and place the junk into my inbox, which Mail receives fine. In checking settings on both accounts I don't find anything which obviously prevents the junk in hotmail from being sent to the junk box in Mail. Is there a workaround or a setting that I don't have correct? I searched for this problem but haven't seen it mentioned before.
    Thanks.

    Hi Jbird1023, and a warm welcome to the forums!

    It's quite acceptable, even preferable to start a new topic of your own, it will get more individualized attention, and many more helpers!

  • Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts

    Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts, I have tried downloading my contacts to my PC's outlook but only 1 contact comes across at a time despite the fact that Icloud says downloading namedperson + 249 other contacts to a CSV file

    Hi everyone!
    Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities: 
    "The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
    Let's keep looking guys... 

  • Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.

    Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
    I can receive mail but can't send it from Mail 3.5. Same problem on a wired G5 and on a wi-fi MacBook (using the same account), so not hardware related. Worked fine 'till today - I didn't change anything in between times. Incoming mail no problem. Tried mail rebuild, keychain first aid, deleting the account, repair disk permission - doesn't help.
    Mail's connection doctor says "smpt.xxxxxx - connection to server succeeded, no login required."
    Anybody any ideas? Thanks, N

    Been having the same problem for a few weeks now. This has been working just fine, and all of a sudden - nothing. The update to 10.5.6 didn't do anything to fix this either.
    I've spent numerous hours on the phone with the Apple support. Seeing as the two other accounts that I have configured work with no problem, they say that this is a problem with the provider which is also the ISP. I then called the support line for the ISP and informed them of this and they say that it's a problem with the software.
    Interestingly, if I send a message to somone with the same ISP, the message will go. But I can't send a message outside of the provider. Does anyone else have this problem?
    Also, from another forum, they suggested rebuilding the LaunchServices database. The Apple support didn't see what that would do. But I tried it anyway and the problem still exists.
    Another intesting thing is certificates. It's only happened twice, but I've received the message saying that Mail can't verify the certificate XXXXX which validates the identity of the smtp. Anyone else get this? I thought perhaps I could delete the certificate and it would magically reappear. But when I go into KeyChain, the certificate is listed only under System Root and I can't delete it.
    ideas?

    My mail won't open but it won't close on my finder bar...won't let me shut down my Mac.

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut it down from there. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can, and then use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

    Hi, I cannot access my gmail from my iphone. The password is correct and I can access fine from my computer but the iphone keeps telling me the password is incorrect. Any ideas?

    I believe Gmail has an option for Two-Step verification that may require a different password for mobile devices than for your computer.
