Migrated Mail Account doesn't work

Last week I used Migration Assistant to move everything from a 10.5 MBPro to a shiny new 10.6 MBPro. Just about everything is working except one of my email accounts. In its previous incarnation it successfully connected to an Exchange server using POP over SSL. Now it doesn't work. Nothing has changed at the server end - I can still use the same settings to access it from a Windows machine.
Mail doesn't report any errors, so I watched the conversation with Wireshark. The Mac side closes the connection after sending a TLSv1 encryption alert, code 21, which is an encryption error. When I look at the X.509 cert sent by the server, it has, according to Wireshark, the "not before" field set to Aug 6th 2011, and the "not after" field set to Aug 8th 2010. Would this be enough to produce encryption errors? Is the encryption mechanism more sensitive on Snow Leopard than on Leopard?

Update - I was misinterpreting the certificate dates. The "not before" is in fact 11/08/2006, and the "not after" is 10/08/2008, so it is not a date conflict issue, just a completely out-of-date issue (that's August, not October, for those that read their dates differently).
I ran Thunderbird, and it pops a dialog box to ask if it is OK to use the expired cert, and will then successfully retrieve Mail from the server.
Why won't Mail do it?

Secondary e-mail account doesn't work

I noticed today that my Secondary e-mail account wasn't working. My mobile Me account works. The other account has lost its draft, send, trash icons. When you try to check mail on that account the phone reverts to the home screen. I have synced, restored, deleted the secondary account and created a new one. The messages can be received/sent but not viewed. That account on my mac works great. During the restore process it notifies me that there is a file missing but doesn't say which one.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Create your MobileMe account on your iPhone and turn Contacts and Calendars on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account settings on your iPhone. If you have a MobileMe account and are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MM account on your iPhone, you don't need to sync contacts and calendar events direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.
Try syncing iTunes content including the music, video, podcasts, and 3rd party apps you want transferred/installed on your iPhone, but don't select anything under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
If no problems with this, try selecting the single iPhoto album you want transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If the same error message is provided, this narrows it down to transferring photos only which means there is a problem with what is called the iPod Photo Cache, which can be deleted from iPhoto.

One of my iPad Mail accounts doesn't work

I recently changed the password on one of my Apple accounts, and update the settings for my iMac, MacBook Pro, and iPod Touch - with no incident.
However, my iPad Mini's Mail account is acting up for some reason. I can access email from two other iPad Mini accounts - but for some reason, the accout I'd changed the password on isn't accessing email. I changed the passwords manually; no effect. I deleted the account, and manually entered the new settings; no effect. I know the settings are correct, because they work on my other devices; it's just when I'm using the one changed account on my iPad Mini.
Is there something I'm missing?

Hmmm...I think I may have figured this out. I'd unintentionally set my desktop Mail folder to make Spam/Trash on the desktop rather than Trash. The iPad Mini was so overloaded with Trash mail that it sent an error message; only by putting the Spam in the Trash that the iPad Mini's Mail delivery returned to normal.
I'm responding to my own question because apparently nobody else has successfully answered this question yet.

My POP mail account doesn't work w lion !

for the first time in my "Apple Life" (22 years!) my account mail dosen't work after OS X Lion upgrade.
it's an POP3 mail of the mayor internet company in Argentina (Fibertel)
please, make something !
thank's

Hello guys,
After a while I figured out what was going wrong with the POP email accounts and Mail 5.
It happens that the new app is using a protocol that was not used by the mail programs as well as by ISP providers.
Now, Mail 5, is questioning the mail servers about capability (CAPA instruction) and most of the servers answer as IMAP by default, even tho they are POP servers.
So when Mail 5 receives this answer, it does not establish the connection and so POP accounts don't work.
My ISP came out with a non conventional solution while they work on the server configuration.
The solution is deleting the POP accounts and recreating them, indicating they are IMAP accounts, but configuring them manually as POP.
To be clear, when recreating the account, the programs asks for the type of account. There you put IMAP.
Further, when it cames to configure the account, you do it manually, configuring the POP and SMTP servers as if they were POP accounts.
What this does is deceive Mail 5 which is specting an IMAP answer, but after that the account works as POP.
It worked for me and my ISP (Fibertel).
Hope this works for you too.

Bellsouth to ATT migration-Mail now doesn't work!

AT&T yesterday advised users on bellsouth.net to migrate to att.yahoo.com, which I dutifully did. What they DIDN'T say was that it would mess things up...now my Apple Mail doesn't download my emails, nor can I send any. I spent over an hour online to AT&T DSL Help desk but they finally had to throw their hands up and quit. They couldn't find the problem. I reconfigured Mail's Prefs to match the att.yahoo parameters, but outgoing mail doesn't "see" the att account.
To make matters worse, in the "fiddling' while the AT&T Help desk folks were trying to help me. I killed my original account and lost all my emails!!!
Can anyone shed any hopeful light on the problem? ... PLEASE!
Regards
Roy

I found a solution that does not require calling ATT. You just need to delete your preferences file for Mail. Before you do that, you should back up that corrupted file, and your mail. If you pull all your mail out of the inbox, then they will be saved locally. Your inbox should re-sync with the server after you re-add your account information manually.
This solution was discovered here:

The wizard that corrupted the plist file is here:

Here is how to set up your ATT account manually, so that the wizard does not corrupt your files.

Exchange mail account doesn't work anymore in MBP

Hello everyone
I am new to Apple products. I purchased my MBP 13" in Aug 2013. Since then I have been facing issues with Mail app in my MBP.
I use Exchange account from my office (Exchange server 2003) and I got the settings from my administrator. I tried installing those settings in my Windows PC and Android Phone, and they all work with no problems. But, with the same settings, it never works in my MBP. Then he gave me IMAP settings for the same account. These do not work too. They worked once for a while (one month roughly) and then I received an OS X update 10.9.2 on 5th of March 2014 and then it stopped working in MBP again. I tried removing the account and added newly, but doesnt work. I tried changing the port numbers, SSL, so on but to no solution. I even contacted the online chat support and telephone support for hours but no one could fix it.
When I go to my administrator, he says it works in all our computers, and its not functioning in your MBP, so he goes raging me to contact apple as he sees no issues from him side. I kindly request someone to help me solve this issue please.
Regards
Vinay

I have the same problem. Thankfully one which was missing came back. I printed it out and made a PDF of it since it was an important one I'd been looking for.
I have three icloud email accounts which folders for each one. Now they mostly come up in my inbox instead of the correct folder and they won't move to the correct one.
Come on Apple, fix this.

Mail account doesn't work properly, deleted messages keep re-appearing, others seem to disappear and reappear at random.

HT4796 "Mail Accounts" doesn't show up as option to choose to migrate from XP

I am attempting to migrate files from a WinXP computer to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. Almost all files transferred successfully, but it doesn't appear that the Outlook email transferred. In fact "Mail Accounts" doesn't show up as an option to choose in the migration screen. I have done the migration successfully to three other computers, but they were running Lion. Any ideas?

Try rebooting the device. It should be in Settings right under General. You may need to go to Settings<General<Reset<Reset All Settings (don't erase data) and setup as a new device. The iCloud login should appear during this step. Just keep setting it up, then go back to settings and see if the iCloud tab appears.

Account doesn't work on Mac Mail but does on iPhone

I have a IMAP email account with my company that works on my iPhone and in Entourage but doesn't work in Mac Mail. I have tried to copy the settings and even did a full erase and reinstall of Leopard and no one has an idea why it won't work, the hosting company or Pro Care. Any idea out there?

No idea what "My apple ID account doesn't work on my itunes but it does on the web" means.

E-mail notification doesn't work after software upgrade

Based on the recommendation of a sales rep; I did the software upgrade yesterday and have had nothing but problems. All the e-mail accounts didn't work. So I spent an hour getting my e-mails setup and guess what?
Even though I have it setup to check every 10 minutes; it doesn't work. I have to manually go to each account and click on the 2 arrows to check. I used to get a flashing blue light on my phone when I had a new e-mail; now I don't.
What's going on???????????????

I removed all spam filters and mail works without, which is not so good but seems to be the only way at the moment.
Any other idea or should I just reset the whole installation?
Thanks for your feedback.

My POP mail account has stopped working

Hi,
I have a mail account with PlusNet. For years it's worked fine, but a week ago I stopped receiving emails on my POP account (my other iCloud account is fine) and got an exclamation mark/triangle icon next to the account name. The connection doctor tells me that trying to log in to the POP account failed and suggested I check that the username and password are correct. I did and both are okay.
I checked back with PlusNet, my ISP, and they said that a recent Mac OS update had upset things. They suggested I go into Mail Preferences - Advanced and untick 'Use SSL' and untick 'Automatically detect and maintain account settings'. I did this but still no luck.
PlusNet then said to contact Apple.
Has anyone else had similar problems? To clarify, I can't receive new mail on my POP account, but do be able to send okay.
Thanks
Stephen

I have exactly the same problem. I'm also with Plusnet, Mail always worked fine until maybe a week or so ago. I'd upgraded to 10.10.1 earlier in the year and had some problems with Mac freezing or shutting down at random, which seemed to have eventually sorted itself out somehow, eventually, but never had any problems with Mail.
Problem is exactly the same as you state, have just tried what you said Plusnet suggested and no luck for me either.
Have now also done the most recent upgrade to 10.10.2 but Mail still doesn't work properly.
I have 4 Mailboxes for different addresses, the three affected ones are all (incoming)mail.plus.net (outgoing)relay.plus.net the only one unaffected is (incoming)pop.secureserver.net (outgoing)smtpout.secureserver.net
Some emails have not been sent or sent without attachments and v.v.slow to get incoming emails. I have to check on webmail to make sure I get the incoming emails but it doesn't show the sent messages from Mac Mail.
Hope this info helps in some way, do post if you find a solution/cause.
Cheers, Chris

Mail app doesn't work

Mail app doesn't work after Yosemite OSX upgrade. At first it didn't check email and now it doesn't boot. I tried many times, but nothing happens

Ok after nearly going crazy I read something about someone having a problem with a program related to fonts not being installed. I started up font book and now my problem is miraculously resolved... This is good and bad. I don't know why having font book running would resolve my problem or know what font is causing the programs not to work. As far as I know I didn't disable any system fonts. And the problem doesn't happen when font book is running, which is confusing me.
