More mail issues and slooooooow

OK the slowness might be to do with spotlight, will see in the morning but dreamweaver is dreadful.
But my main issue is in mail. Using imap, when I drag messages from my inbox to a folder for filing - sometimes it does, most times it doesn't. Also can't drag attachments from emails onto the desktop or any folders anymore, have to click and save to.
Thoughts?

E55 e-mail issues and solutions.

The main problem of Nokia E55 e-mail (and AFAIK generic Nokia e-mail problems) is there are too much support for email but poorly documented. I just discovered everything I'll write here by my own trying to figure out the problems. This message is also a bug report if Nokia cares.
First, there are many ways to setup an email account (or mailbox in Nokia jargon). Just to name the ones I know:
(Assumption, you got some internet connection.)
1. Go to Control panel, settings, general, personalization, one touch keys, messaging key, short press and select email setup. Then close the menu and short press the messaging one touch key. An application will start, check for connection and then asks for an email address. If you continue, you'll see that the setup options are few and useless. If you check the task manager by long pressing the menu button, you'll see a @ sign.
2. Go to menu and select email to start Email 2.1.0 application. Select "new" and settings wizard will start then it starts a screen with email on top. Then, you need to press start and it will show you some commercial (free or not, but commercial) email options together with "other" option.
2.a. If you choose any commercial email provider (e.g.. gmail) and enter your address and password, the application will "detect your email settings" which means your phone will communicate with a nokia server and the nokia server will log in for you as a man-in-the-middle. Then, the application will download a contract in your language and ask to sign it. If you don't accept see 2.b, if you accept the contract, it means the "Nokia Messaging Service" will be enabled. Nokia messaging service is hosted at http://email.nokia.com. (A very bad, confusing name) From now on, NOKIA WILL KEEP YOUR EMAIL PASSWORD (with some poor privacy act based on the unbalanced contract) and Nokia will access your mail in your name, Nokia will be able to change your email settings, Nokia will be able to delete your email messages Just like the well-known man-in-the-middle attack in crypto courses. (See TR's note of Aug 26, 2010 18:18 at http://noknok.tv/2010/05/26/how-to-set-up-nokia-messaging/)
2.b. If you decline the contract or choose "other" that Nokia doesn't know how to access your account, then the application won't enable Nokia messaging service (*) and the application will enable the email access protocols already installed on your phone. Thus, you'll access your email directly and Nokia will not keep your email password. In that option, you may need to enter more server settings. But IMHO, it worth it.
(*) Oh, yes. This is a very good point. If you're willing to use the Nokia Messaging Service but doesn't have a commercial account, you can't enable it. At least, you can't enable it as you pay. E55 includes fuzzy-lifetime service agreement. If you go directly to the site and sign up yourself online, you'll get a trial service agreement. Not the full service you've already paid. (See TR's notes above to understand what fuzzy-lifetime is. Shortly, you can enable it just once for just one person but not for each person using the same phone.)
3. This is the tricky one. I found only one way to configure my email in that way but it has the most detailed settings for your account and it connects to the server directly. Bad news is, you can set only one mailbox up with that method. Go to menu, messaging, options, settings, email, options, new mailbox, start, enter your address and password, choose imap/pop, enter server settings, save. You'll see the default mailbox box will change. (But you won't see the mailbox in the messaging application [the app we've started by selecting menu then messaging]. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature.) Suddenly, the Email 2.1.0 application will start and it will try to take the control of your mailbox. Don't let. Selecting options, exit close that application. You'll be in the messaging application's menu again. Another options, exit closes this application too, and will take you to the main screen. Now, the tricky part. If you go and check Email 2.1.0 application, you'll see your mailbox is there. If you go to the messaging application, it won't show you your mailbox. Still, if you go options, settings, email, you'll see your mailbox as the default. Ok, who cares. Now, the settings. If you shortly press the email one touch key, you'll see your mailbox in the messaging application. If you select options then Email settings you'll get hell a lot of settings to set your mailbox. This is the only way I know to see the "Email settings" menu item and set the mailbox in detail. Remember that, there are projections of these settings on the Email 2.1.0 application's menu with less options.
There may be other setups for exchange and so on but I didn't check that options. These were already enough for my brain to explode.

Continues...
The third solution is the native solution, I think (as it doesn't support html messages and Nokia Email 2.1.0 and Nokia messaging service are marketed to be able to read HTML messages).
Another issue of the third solution is that the settings in the native messaging application and the settings in the Email 2.1.0 are sometimes conflicting. So you need to crosscheck them after you set up.
Nokia hardly have IMAP-idle support. So, don't trust on it. The very basic example of such is, you seem to be connected with the fancy green circle at the top right but when you try to read any email, you'll be asked to connect to internet continuously and you won't be able to fetch or read the message.
I checked many IMAP server logs to realize this issue. The problem is, as Nokia doesn't keep the credentials and disconnect from the server way too early, server generally interprets it as "remote party disconnected". And if you ask to fetch something again the second time, it creates an SSL 41 error (certificate not found) and closes the connection.
(Yes, I got SSL installed in my mail server. I think nearly everybody has it in these days.)
Another thing is about the "Nokia messaging service" It has hardly any customer support and it goes offline from time to time. Sometimes, you cannot reach the server even from your PC or if you can reach, you cannot configure anything.
For example, it is possible that it creates an account for you that you aren't aware of. The account creation is automated and the username/password pair is set as the first email address you've logged in with your phone. Sometimes people are unaware of this and when they change their passwords on their accounts, their email suddenly gets disconnected. Also, sometimes they cannot remember their old passwords or their old mailboxes not in use anymore.
Second, it maps many personal data altogether, which is against privacy. I realized this issue by practice. Here is my story:
I got an mail account,say [email protected] and I created a nokia messaging service account with this email. This is normally a "trial period" subscription of which the username/password pair is identical to my mail account. Namely, [email protected] and some password. I also added my second email account, [email protected] to my nokia messaging account. During account creation, the site asked me about my phone number.
Then, I bought E55 which has lifetime nokia messaging service subscription. I switched on my brand new E55 and try to configure my email. By chance, I started with [email protected]. So, Nokia created an [email protected] nokia messaging account for me. (I realized that account creation afterwards and it was a phone-lifetime subscription.) Then, I added my second email [email protected] on my phone.
What the duck, everything was scrambled. After I realize the double Nokia messaging accounts issue, I decided to delete the old one, which was a trial. At the end, I actually got a lifetime. So I logged in to the service and cancelled my first account. What do you expect? Nokia messaging service deleted both of my accounts and all email messages from both of my phones. I was lucky that I backed them up recently. I can't imagine to lose all my business mail because of the poor and ill policies of Nokia. Moreover, now, I can't get another phone-lifetime subscription to the service in the first week of my phone. Very nice...
Still, I got the third issue. I mentioned that I was checking my servers' logs to understand what's going on. After I tried to delete one (but practically deleted both) of my nokia messaging accounts, there shouoldn't be any references to my servers. Do you think so?
These are some of the IP's trying to connect to my mail server even after the messaging accounts are deleted:
131.228.18.22
131.228.18.67
131.228.18.30
131.228.18.40
When you check them at geo locator, they're all in Finland... Very nice... The only way I found was changing all my accounts passwords to get rid of the great and fancy Nokia eavesdropping service. After that, these IP's started to try the same password to log in. Currently, Nokia is trying to log in 6 times every 15 minutes to my mail accounts. I don't know when they'll stop trying. They're like terminators, they never give up.
Advice: IF YOU EVER SUBSCRIBED TO NOKIA MESSAGING SERVICE, JUST CHANGE ALL YOUR EMAIL PASSWORDS ASAP.
The fourth issue is about the setup process again. If you connect to the internet during setting up the email (Second option above), wizard runs so slowly, because it is trying to connect to the Nokia server (to send your username and password to Nokia databases).
This is probably one of the reasons why people end up waiting for minutes and cannot get a mailbox at the end.

E-mail issues and aol

Ok...I feel dumb. I have been using my aol site rather than the email available with new Macbookpro. I cannot forward anything successfully, so I want to go to the e-mail in Leopard. I find I have hundreds sitting there and cannot delete any. Also don't know how to save and I can't find a tutorial. Help

Exchange e-mail issues and iPhone 4s

When I send or reply to a message from the iPhone it automatically saves the sent message on my exchange server – this is very annoying as I only ever save messages I need responses to – can this be stopped?

Mail - Incoming and Outgoing Mail Activity

Hi all, I have a peculiar issue, when sending and receiving mail the status bar often indicates more mail coming and going than I'm actually sending or receiving. For example I sent a single email this morning, on sending the status bar indicated I was sending 6 emails ! any ideas ?

this is very common and is nothing to worry about. it's just mail syncing between your computer and Mail server.

Unity Connection Voice Mail Issue

Hi,
I have a weird Unity Connection Voice Mail issue and would appriciate any help i can get. Many thanks in advance.
I have Unity connection 7.0 and CUCM 7.0 integrated in a lab enviroment and here is what happens.
When I place a call internally say from 2001 to 2002, things work as expected, 2002 rings and it goes to voicemail where I can leave voicemail and listen to it from 2002.
However, if I place call from the PSTN to the same number 2002 (or any other number in other sites etc) the call again rings in 2002 and goes to voicemail, unity cnx plays the greetings for 2002 and says record your message as usual. Everything up to point is fine, then when the time on the PSTN phone is showing around 14 seconds into the call unity starts playing, "to send this message press one", if I press one nothing happens.
I have rebuilt unity and cucm, even just configured the bare minimum in the lab and still getting the same result. I tried calling from E1 connection and T1 connection but with the same results.
I have run out of ideas...

Sounds like one way audio from PSTN to your Unity Connection, couple of things to check:
1. ensure your protocols are bound properly on the GW, i.e. SIP/H323/MGCP
2. Make sure IP routing is OK between Unity and the voice gateway

ADD GMail DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 for Mail offline and outgoing problems?

i have had outgoing mail issues and "offline" listed for SMTP servers problems since time immemorial and i am wondering if anyone knows for a fact if adding the above settings for GMail in System Preferences > Network > DNS tab is a good solution to this.
i am going to pay my technical help guy to come over and fix this for the fifth time in three years but i would like to see if i can get some hard facts on what may be causing it so i can fix it on my own first.

That's a Google DNS server. It can't hurt to try.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type: 8.8.8.8
Click+ again and type:
8.8.8.4
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch Mail.

I have a password issue and can't get my gmails on my IOS7 devices any more

Hi, there,
Well, i have a problem with my devices, iphone and ipad2, both ios 7, and the issue is that i renewed my google account password and updated it on my devices but i cannot get my gmail emails any more and i get a Cannot Get Mail message and i'm asked to go back to settings on my device and put in my details again, which i have already done ten and more times, and still, to no use.
I even thought maybe i am not typing the right password, so i checked it again on my laptop computer and all was fine there.
Well, i hope there is a kind of explanation to this.
Thanks a lot,
Totoo

Cheers, thanks a lot, it solved my problem.

After upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

after upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

First, select sender(s) as VIPs. Then the VIP category will appear.
To select a sender as a VIP, open an email from that sender, then hover over their name and a star icon will appear to the left. Click the star, and that sender will be set as a VIP (and the category will appear in the pane on the left).

You went backwards?
Did you reformat and reinstall when you first purchased it?
If not I HIGHLY recommend you do that before you do anything else.

Weird Line Spacing Issue in Mail App and iChat

All of the sudden, all of the lines of text in my mail app and ichat are all bunched up. It's impossible to read the content. Maybe my baby son pressed something but the font is tiny and illegible. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks

Hello Darryn,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your Mac. If you are seeing an unusual bunching or overlapping of text in multiple applications, it can often be due to a font issue. You may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, including one possible specific instance which may result in similar issues:
Helvetica Fractions font may cause text to display improperly in Address Book, iChat, Safari, Mail

More Apple Mail Issues

We have been using Apple Mail at our school for some time with few problems. We use it as the link to an outside POP3 service. Recently, as with so many other users, we have begun to have serious issues with crashing, loss of messages and issues with both sending and receiving at times. A new one has developed now. Disk Warrior was run recently and seemed to have had decent results. Upon closer inspection, it has apparently altered the modification dates of many user files and folders, as well as mail files (all to the same date: April 1, 1976). Now with mail, users are finding the message: 'The message from <[email protected]> concerning "(subject") has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.' The account is already online. I'm not sure if this is a result of the Disk Warrior intervention, or if it is a continuation of Apple Mail issues, or both. Also, users click on one message, and another displays. If you scroll through your messages, continuous crashes occur, and sometimes all messages disappear. Fortunately, with our mail service (Gaggle), we can retrieve messages directly online.
The issues do not occur in Entourage, and I am testing a couple of other mail applications as well. So it is definitely an Apple Mail problem. I have tried many of the fixes I have seen in other posts, but with no success. Running Disk Utility or Tech Tool has no effect. Our solution for now is to just not use Apple Mail - which our users are use to.
I will be curious to see what solutions come out. This is a serious issue for many users.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

More and more mail problems

What a disaster. I've written about my mail problems before with mail before and I know what I managed to do this time is my fault, its something "I" don't understand about mail. But man am I screwed.
I use my imac 98% of the time and I get 100% of my email on it (mobileme, concast, gmail). All works fine.
A week ago I have an emergency appendix surgery and am doing rather poorly so I'm in bed on my macbook air. I need to get my email on that computer. I enable the email accounts so I can get all my "new" mail. Ugh, it starts syncing and bingo 2 weeks worth of mail on my imac is gone. No where to be found. Tons of work mail, important mail, lordy this is a mess.
I know it had something to do with syncing.. the only account that is imap is my mobileme but I lost a ton of mail in that and its not on either computer or on the mobile me page either. It's just gone. And so is the gmail on the imac and again that isn't imap its a pop account and it was mail that was not in my inbox, I had received it weeks ago and put it in other mail boxes I created (like the work folder). And it just is all gone.
IF anyone can shed some light on what I did and how to avoid this, I'd love that. Should I have just gone to the websites to check the mail (gmail site, comcast.net, mobileme site?)
I am really in trouble with this email thing I lost stuff that I can't recreate. What a huge huge mess.
thanks for any insight,
Susan

Mail issue with .Mac account and Gmail

Hi everyone,
On Friday my email account began to exhibit some weird behavior. Suddenly, out of nowhere and for both accounts (.mac and Gmail), my iPhone stopped getting new email messages from the servers; it said that there are no passwords stored on the server and I should go into Mail settings and put passwords in. This was never an issue before; I checked on things and both passwords are still present. I've done all of the resets and re-synced my iPhone to iTunes but nothing's changed. I can still send messages from both accounts. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Julie

Christoph's instructions translated for the iPhone:
Go into the Settings app.
Select (tap) "Mail, Contacts, Calendars".
Select (tap) your Google account.
Select (tap) "Account".
Verify that the Name field is your full name, or change it to be your full name.
While there, you might make sure the Description field says something like "Google" or "my Gmail" so it's easy to spot.
