My email has stopped working - all settings correct - nothing changed

Hi.  Yesterday my email stopped working. All settings are correct. Nothing in my infrastructure has changed. Test emails sent to the address simply disappear without generating a 'bounce back'.

Richard75:
If the error is denying the user/pass, it might be wrong settings for user/password or type of authentication that should be used (maybe your mail ISP as changed settings)
Check if you are using SSL or not (some servers might not suport SSL) and check the type of authentication being used (none, password, kerberos, etc). The more common method is plain password.
Also it might be a good idea to clear from the Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities) the keys used to access the e-mail account.
Another problem associated with e-mail and certain networks (in this case your wireless network) can be the router MTU, in some cases set to 1500. if you are able and know how to change it, set it to 1492 (although I don't recall this ever causing wrong user/pass issues). Try checking if u can use your mail via ethernet cable. If the same happens via cable, then it's not exclusive for your Wi-fi network.
@JebnKeewee:
From what you described, it seems you have a different problem, could u specify it? (are u able to log or not, can't receive, can't send, etc)

  • HT2305 when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it

    when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it. unistalled it 3x and in the proper order. reset all internet connection to default setting, turned off virus programs ect. Even the tech at apple by remote access couldnt fix it. use microsoft fix it also no good....\

    I am having the same problem now also. It happened after I updated my version. I have NEVER had this problem before as a windows user and have had iTunes for 5 years. So, I would have to say it is an Apple problem. I have not changed anything on my computer. I still have Internet Explorer and I have not even updated windows. The only thing I updated was iTunes. Now, I am not getting any response from Apple and if you call you have to pay for support. What a joke. An iPod costs $400 you would think that after paying that much you would at least get some type of help. This will now be the last time I ever by anything apple.

  • My iPhone has stopped working all I have is a screen with the apple logo on it

    My iPhone has stopped working. All I have is a black screen with the apple logo displayed.  The phone does not respond when I press the buttons and switches,

    Any thing happen if you try to connect to iTunes?
    One thought - do not charge it and let the current charge fade out - then when you charge it back from scratch it should reboot into some working mode
    Another - if you do not want to wait - bring it to a store

  • Starts to load homepage, then Windows message: "Firefox has stopped working" All this after a Firefox update

    Directly after an update, Firefox will no longer start. It begins to load my homepage, then fades away with the Windows message "Firefox has stopped working"
    Looking at Norton security history, I see it blocked plugin-container.exe about the time the update was being downloaded.

    I don't know if this is exactly the same problem, but here's what happened to me:
    One day when I opened Firefox I got a prompt for updates. I got upgraded to version 3.6.16. That was over a week ago. This morning, I opened Firefox, got a prompt for updates, clicked ok, and I ended up upgrading again to 3.6.16. Norton gave me a notification about some file being used by fewer than 100 people and having "medium risk", but I wasn't able to take any action, just read.
    Once that upgrade went through every time I tried to open Firefox, it'd pop up, I'd click no to "Do you want Firefox to be your default browser" and then it'd go white and freeze up. I'd get a message from Windows that there's a problem, Firefox has stopped working, it will be closed. No information was sent regarding the problem.
    When I'd open Firefox I'd see two tabs: one about the upgrade to 3.16.6 along with an invitation to upgrade to version 4, and another being my homepage to yahoo.com.
    I also have Internet Explorer, so I opened that, went to Firefox's website and downloaded version 4. So far that has taken care of the problem~I can use Firefox again.
    However, I did have a couple small difficulties while downloading version 4. Right off it would not immediately start running. That was blocked by my Norton. So I had to click on "click here". Also during the process I got a message about two add-ons being incompatible, so they were disabled, and no updates could be found. They were: Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1. and Norton Toolbar 4.6.
    I worried it was a virus but it seems like more of a compatibility problem involving maybe Norton? I have the 2010 version and haven't upgraded to Norton 2011 yet.
    Anyway, like I said, so far version 4 is working fine, but I thought I'd pass on the incident.

  • I have tried fixing Firefox by uninstall reinstall that didn't work. I still get the same error message: Firefox has stopped working. May have to change!

    I am not the only one having this problem why is Mozilla not doing something about it? I am about fed up & may have to change to a different browser! Firefox was the best browser I've ever had but not anymore! Wish I could go back to the old version--it worked just fine! The new version is when I started having this trouble!
    Time for Mozilla to step up & get a fix or you will be losing more than me I think! I've disabled real arcade & most other add-ons. That didn't help either.

    Thanks for offering help but I have done all of the above & it didn't work! I am really getting fed up with it every time I close Firefox I get the same msg. "Firefox Has Stopped Working." At other times the msg. comes when I have it open. Then I have to close & restart whatever I was doing.
    Don't know what else to do!

  • My mac email has stopped working everywhere

    My .mac account seems to have stopped working on all devices and icloud

    This is what I got:
    We're sorry. We don't have any information for your email provider. Contact your email provider to determine the mail settings.
    Which I've already done. I set it up the way they told me to.

  • My button has stopped working all the time is this covered by the one year original warranty?

    My button on my ipad does not work all of the time does any one know if this is covered under the original one year warranty?

    If you have a hardware issue (the home or power button not working certainly would be hardware) and you make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar, if it is found to be defective, it certainly would be covered under the one year warranty.

  • Two questions: First, the homepage button on my browswer has stopped working. Once clicked, nothing happens. Second, when I try to upload pics to blogger, it says "Server Error".

    The homepage button has stopped on both my desktop and netbook browser, as about about a week ago. Once clicked, nothing happens. Yet all other browser buttons are working fine. Second, when I try to upload pics to blogger, it says "Server Error".
    The server error message on blogger happened about the same time, and although there have been rare occasions where it worked, but mostly it doesn't. I've tried a couple of times every day, and it's only worked twice. But I am able to do it on other browsers, leading me to believe it's a firefox problem. (For the record, blogger seems to have recently updated their pic upload feature).

    This usually happens if Spotlight is disabled on a drive. When you tried MacPilot, did it have an option to disable Spotlight? I haven't used the app, so don't know whether that is the case or not, but if it did and you inadvertantly, or even deliberately, disabled Spotlight then the Finder won't display anything but the most basic information about a file--thus you won't see dimensions or Last Opened, just size and dates created and modified.

  • Email has stopped working and cannot be re-setup; 'Activation failed' and 'Security of the connection cannot be verified' errors

    The blackberry stopped receiving email as of Dec 22.  it does reeive Registration messages from blackberry. The browser still works.  I contacted the provider and the network is functioning correctly.   I have deleted the email setup several times and set it up again; I have removed the battery and restarted and reset up the email.  This involves a hotmail.ca account.  During email setup it checks for update and indicates the mailbox is set up and then it wants to reconcile contacts and that is when the Activation Failed; an error was encountered when sending the activation transmission notice appears.  When I use the browser to go to hotmail.ca and login, I can see all my email up to date and then an error message pops up indicating, Server Certificate Warning and when I select Details; it inidcaes untrusted certificate; unable to determine certificate's origin; when I view the certificate it identifies X h.live.com  Untrusted Certificate Chain; Stale Chain Status etc...  It's like the hotmail.ca or live.com is corrupted...how do I fix it.  The only thing I have not doe is to use the Security tool to Wipe email.  Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.

  • Email has stopped working

    2 days ago I stopped receiving email from my BT addresses and stopped being able to send email. I can still receive email from @gmail.com and @mac.me. Also my email addresses work from the BT website. I have not changed any settings on any of my computers or router. This just happened. Is there a problem with the BT servers?

    Hi Ratan.
    When you say you can access the email addresses from the BT website, can I assume that you are referring to webmail access via a browser ?
    What email client program are you using (e.g Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows mail etc) and are you receiving any error message - if so, can you give the details (removing any personal info).
    Are you with BT as a BTinternet user (via broadband or dial-up) ?
    As a small test, can you login to :-
    www.btyahoo.com
    using your btinternet email address. If you are taken directly to the email presentation, then the email address has been converted to Basic email (something of an unusual beast these days), but if you are taken to the normal portal - then there is a problem with your account or local setup.
    Sometimes an account can fail to login via pop3/smtp for a period of time, normally a short while - but some people have had this problem over a number of days - which eventually sorts itself out.
    There is not a problem with the BT servers, that's for sure, if there was - there would be masses of reports here and in the newsgroups, but I see none at present. Hence this indicates an individual account problem.

  • My email has stopped working

    Hi there
    Can anyone help me?  Ive got a blackberry curve and had it for just over a year.  Went on holiday and left phone in UK switched off.  I came back and switched it on and recieved emails as normal.  However on the following day I get an email from Blackberry (do not reply) asking me to validate  my password.  I follow the instructions provided but it tells me its not recognised.  I have removed and tried to re-install my email address (sky.com) with my password and it keeps coming up with 'unable to set up' and gives two options (1) re-enter email address and password or (2)provide the settings to add this email account.  I select the latter and then followed by 'this is my personal email account' and that 'I will provide the settings'.  Its then asking in addition to my email address and password the 'user name' and email server.  Ive tried following skys instruction but still no luck ( 

    Was your old provider Vodacom?
    Please try this FIRST, using your BlackBerry browser...
    1)
    • Go to mobile.blackberry.com OR to www.blackberry.com/integrate
    • Scroll down to Communication and then to Email.
    • Choose the appropriate email set up options.
    If that works and completes your email setup/editing, good.
    If not, follow these additional instructions:
    2) Register HRT: (OS5) Home Screen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > Scroll to any line entry and > press the Menu key > and then click Register Now. If you have an OS 6 or OS 7 device, Look at Options > Device > Advanced > Host Routing Table, etc.
    3) Resend Service Books: Article ID: KB02830 How to send the service books for a BlackBerry Internet Service account. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
    4) Then, with the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    5) Now, return to the 1) mobile.blackberry.com email setup as mentioned above and follow that.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

  • Since the Gingerbread update on my Droid2 my corporate synch email has stopped working

    I get an error message when it tries to synch.  The last emails I received were on Sept 2nd.  I believe the update happened on the 3rd.  I cant figure out how to fix it.  Nothing has changed from my company's perspective.
    thanks,
    Stephanie 

    I'm having similar problems connecting to Yahoo email and AIM since the update.
