One email account stops working in Lion, despite same functioning settings on iPad and iPhone

Hi,
here's to hoping someone out there can help.
Since the Lion install, one email account in Mail does not work. I tried deleting and re-installing the account and (with the help of tech support) toggling SSL settings and ports, but it still would not work. Interestingly, the account still works on iPad and iPhone. But the same settings do not work on the desktop Mail. Sending email to the account is received on mobile devices sans problem.
I'm afraid at this point to sync the macbook with iPad and iPhone for fear the devices will automatically stop receiving mail as well. What gives?
Grateful for any tips!
Cheers,
Alicia

here is what I did to resolve the problem. In Mail/preferences/accounts/account information/ and at the bottom of the box there is a toggle arrow up and down to edit the outgoing mail server, check the box "use only this server" and hit this toggle button and select "edit SMTP Server List" at the very bottom of the email names. Be sure to select OK each time to get the passwords to hold! Some changes won't hold unless you click OK before you move on.
Select Advanced tab. Correct and/or add usernames and passwords as needed for each email account. It seems the passwords are not holding.
To test: Window/activity (a little windows will pop up showing activity bars) and then "get mail" button. This should show any problems
another test: window/connection doctor
This will fix both pop and imap. so far it worked on yahoo, mobile me, gmail, hotmail, and others. Of course, you will need to know the incoming and outgoing mail server info, user name, and passwords.
Too bad we have to go though hoops to use an email program that used to work well.

You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.

When I open an email's attachment from Outlook, the email's attachment is no longer avail to open on my iPad and iPhone

When opening an email's attachment in Outlook 2007, that email's attachment is no longer available to view on my iPhone and iPad.
How do I correct this to keep the attachment available on iPad and iPhone, when the email's attachment is initially opened from Microsoft Outlook please??

If you're talking about an old iCloud ID, you have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can't get one email account to work again after deleting it

I have been using a 9800 for ages with two separate email accounts; one is a work account and the other a personal Gmail account. I also back up my phone regularly to a computer
I deleted the work accout for a holiday and, prior to re-installing it, found that I could temporaily disable the receipt of emails for a particular account by applying a filter. I recreated the work acount on my phone and, apart from being surprised that some of my old emails were still present, also tried to create a filter.
I'm now in a position where no work emails are getting through to my phone despite deleting the filter I created and having gone through all of the settings on the phone. All the settings for the work account appear to be the same, where applicable, as for the Gmail account but only the latter is working. I've also restored the email settings only from a backup when everything was working OK.
Any ideas please?

Virgin imap Email account stops working

Can anyone help here please?
I have and iPhone 5, no idea if that is relevant, on which I have set up two virgin email accounts using imap settings, what a game that was, and at regular intervals I have a problem with one of the accounts which stops working.
Both email accounts are set up identically, I have checked time and time again, but it is always the same account which stops working with the same error message 'imap4.virgin.net' is not responding. I am raising this with Virgin too but as my other account continues to work fine on the same settings I am not sure the problem sits with them. If I delete the troublesome account then it will work fine for anything up to 3 months, or as little as a week, but then it will happen again, one account downloads emails the other refuses to, and give the error message I have mentioned above.
Has anyone any experience of the problem, and any ideas, or does anyone have a solution, short of binning either the iPhone or Virgin email! Both of those solutions are not practical, but tempting.

here is what I did to resolve the problem. In Mail/preferences/accounts/account information/ and at the bottom of the box there is a toggle arrow up and down to edit the outgoing mail server, check the box "use only this server" and hit this toggle button and select "edit SMTP Server List" at the very bottom of the email names.

Email accounts stopped working

Hi,
I need some help with my Email accounts. I got my phone last year when they first came out in the UK and have been using it with no problems. But my Email accounts have now stopped working.
I have two different accounts with two different providers and today neither will pick up any Emails. They both have the yellow triangle on the inbox page. Please can someone help resolve this. I really need my Emails back.
Thanks
WG

Hi,
Mine's now sorted. I reinput all the settings for my wireless network and the emails started working again. Had to imput manual settings though as it wouldn't pick up automatically.
Not sure why that should have been a problem as you shouldn't even need wireless on for it to work, but might be worth a try.

I deleted an email account not knowing that my notes would delete too from iPad and am trying to figure out if icloud can retrieve them for me

I deleted an email account not knowing that it would delete my notes section as well can iCloud retrieve it?

You can check at icloud.com, sign in

HT4859 My emails no longer appear on my computer but only on my iPad and iPhone. How do I get my emails to also appear on my computer?

Hello I have a problem - I live in France so this might be something to do with my service provider (orange). But I can't work out how to continue to get my emails on my mac mail application on my computer when I have icloud switched on on my iphone and ipad. I receive my emails on both iphone and ipad but not on my computer. It's as if my computer has become a slave to my ipad.
I can disable the icloud service for mail on my iphone but then I can't send emails from my second account from my iphone (I have both a .mac account and another account). When icloud is switched on and when I'm using the g3 on my iphone, when I receive an email on my orange account all I have to do is change the address from which I am sending an email in the "from" line from my iphone and I can reply from my phone.
However if I switch off icloud on my iphone I can indeed reply from my .mac address but not from my other address - ie the drop down menu doesn't appear which means I have to copy out the original email if I wan to reply in detail.
But if I keep icloud switched on I no longer get my emails on my computer - only on the server. I think there ought to be something I can switch over on icloud but I don't know what.
Any ideas?

I would understand it if you checked email on your Mac, and then those messages were not available on your iOS devices if you had the advanced account setting "remove copy from server after retrieving message:" set to immediately.
I looked through my iPhone settings and don't even see an option to tell my phone to pull the only copy of a message and delete it from the server.
Possibly there is another setting in Lion (I am running Snow Leopard still) that tells your Mac to only synchronize mail to your iOs devices and is not pulling mail directly from iCloud.
You could try disabling your current iCloud email account in Mac Mail, and adding a new one and just telling Mail it is a standard IMAP account (imap.mail.me.com incoming and smtp.mail.me.com outgoing).
I did that for Leopard to get my email even to work after MobileMe is cancelled and it seems to work fine with my iPhone.
If that doesn't work, you can delete that new email account and re-enable the temporarily disabled iCloud email account from above.
Hope this helps.

I can,t get one email account to work in tiger after panther

I have two email servers, AOL and Verizon. I wrote down the setting from panther and put them into Tiger. Aol is working fine but verizon does not. If I restart in Panther, verizon works. In tiger I get a message about port 25 timming out but I use the same port in Panther without issues. I went back and took snapshots of the Panther setting and put them in Tiger but still I can,t get verizon to work. I checked the firewall and it is the same setting as panther. I am at a complete loss, Googling would be in the blind so I don,t know.

David,
Is Verizon also your ISP? One possibility is MTU (maximum transmission unit), which may be getting set differently in the two versions of OSX. Test with lower values for MTU, and compare the System Preferences/Network settings in each version of OSX. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107962
and
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303192
One other thing to ask -- what character set and/or keyboard settings are you using? I ask because your post seems to use a comma, where an apostrophe would be expected?

HT4914 If I was to stop my iTunes Match account does the music I had on my 2 computers iPad and iPhone return to each one of them . I hope I don't loose my music. I shouldn't have to download my own music

Do I use my data when using iTunes Match ? Do I have to be on line when using it? Or is it free to access my music as it was before I when it was on my products. ? ( other then the annual fee of course)

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

Exchange email suddenly stopped working unless on the same wifi as the server.

I am the IT person at a small Construction company. We are running SBS 2008 with Exchange 2007. I have 6 Verizon iPhone 5's that the employees use. Up until the last two weeks everthing has been running fine, then everyone started getting "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed." But as soon as they are back at the office on WIFI the mail syncs just fine. No changes were made to the server or router in the last 3 months. Any and all help is greatly appreicated.

Sounds like a problem with your firewall. Have you confirmed that the settings are still correct? Have you tried rebooting it?
Try testing it from outside your network using this tool: https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/
If it fails the test, but you're positive the firewall settings are correct, contact your ISP.

Just to close out ... the 'supervisor' was clueless as it turns out. Apple does NOT have a deal with UPS on handling the Mini, so the person who gave me the info was wrong. Did he call back? No ... he just let me go out and find out myself.
So I called again, and this time eventually ended up with a manager, who told me that the UPS Store thing wouldn't work, but that a box would arrive and then there would be a 'forced replacement'.
About 10 minutes later he called back and said he discovered that EVERYTHING the supervisor did was wrong ... he didn't actually properly flag for auto-replace, so I would have gone through an identical cycle again! So he had to restart the whole process, meaning I would get TWO 'coffins', but that I would then get an auto-replacement and would see that indicated in my support email.
I got the email, saw 'auto-replace'. Got the box on the 28th and immediately turned it around. Apple got the box on the 31st, and on the 1st I got emails that my Mini would arrive on the 2nd and it also had the new serial #.
Yesterday I grab the box from FedEx and go home to check it out. As expected, it IMMEDIATELY worked on my WiFi without issue ... and has worked perfectly since.
So ...
- it was NOT my home network.
- it WAS a hardware issue with the Mini
- Apple does NOT do proper testing on the Mini to detect what appears to be a fairly common issue.
- non-retail customers ARE treated as second-class by support.
This issue took FOUR WEEKS to resolve, involved FOUR shipments back & forth, and the ONLY reason it got resolved was that *I* did the troubleshooting that Apple either would not or could not do.
For someone who has been an Apple customer for more than 30 years, this has been a sobering experience ... I quite frankly expected much better from them.

On my ipad and iphone email when I reply to all it goes to main screen. It lets me reply to all from a PC. Does anyone know why?

On my ipad and iphone email when I reply to all it goes to main screen. It lets me reply to all from a PC. Does anyone know why?

I actually figured this out. One of the people I work with has an Android phone. My ipad and iphone will not let me respond to his email when sent from his phone. Don't know why but that is what is going on. I am going to experiment and see if I can find anyone else with an android that I can't respond to.
