OS 10.8.5 Apple Mail fails to find POP Mail folder in Library?

Six weeks ago I transferred my wife's Mail account from iBook 10.4 to new MacBook Pro OS 10.8.5 w/considerable difficulty and help from senior Apple advisor. Yesterday Mail showed a welcome screen and could not find its Library Mail folder. I've been working with an Apple Senior Advisor who is unable to solve the problem — anyone help?
We did a complete Restore using Time Machine but this issue remained Welcome to Mail. We opened that and set it up so we can get mail but it still will not find all ht extensive POP folders and m-boxes in the Hidden Library folder

I've MacBook Pro 2009 model... from last few days my airport is not functional. This happened when I deleted plist of com.apple..... from systems folder from library-> preference->system. Now, when you check the status of Airport hardware it says "Not Associated". One more thing that came to my notice is that 'com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist' this file is missing from system folder. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you for your reply......
I have tried using different OS 10.7, 10.8... further OS doesn't suit my MacBook, so currently I am on 10.6. I did reinstallation twice using 10.6 but the files were not restored.
Yes.. I am talking about internet wireless card.
I don't have back up files for files which i deleted and they are not in trash as well.... the reason I deleted files was from the image attached from OSXdaily.com
I have tried resetting the PRAM, NVRAM, SMC but to no use.
now what do I do.??

Apple TV failed to find service connection url?

Anyone know why I cannot get into my iTunes account from my Apple TV. I keep getting a connection failed message "failed to find service connection URL". Wifi network working just fine and I can access my account from pc no problem.

You can only login to your account under Settings for iTunes Store.
If having issues try restarting your router and AppleTV.

Apple Mail would not send .mac mail but will send POP mail

I have an iMAC G5 with Leopard 10.5.3. I use Apple Mail and I cannot send mail via my .mac account an dthe error message say SMTP server can not be accessed. I change the port it works while I am in the program. I quit and sign back on and the same port setting does not work. I am using 587 without SSL checked. I have no problems sending on my POP accounts such as GMAIL and ATT Mail.
I also have a time capsule for wireless back up.
Any thoughts?

Yes. My thought is, that the .Mac mailserver were simply down due to a failure or for maintenance at the point of time your couldn't send. My next thought is, that this might happen from time to time. And my third thought is to check the .Mac system state and try again when the servers are up and running again.

Switching from POP to IMAP mail without losing downloaded POP mail (??)

I want to switch from POP mail to IMAP on two different business email accounts (both support IMAP) and a Gmail account, so I'll have all my desktop mail folders on my iPhone (not just the inbox stuff).
I'm concerned about losing my downloaded POP mail in the process.
Some time ago, I switched briefly to IMAP on one of my biz email accounts (as part of a web collaboration app), and lost lots of mail in the process.
If someone could summarize the steps to do this I'd be quite appreciative!
Paul / Los Angeles, Calif.

Hi,
Last month I have switched to IMAP from POP for several of my email accounts. I don't think it is possible to switch to IMAP from POP without deleting the account. I didn't find anything in the preferences. I usually don't erase emails in the server, so I didn't have any problem getting all my mails back.
In case you have erased emails on the server but not in your computer, it is a good idea to backup any of your mailboxes (Using "Archive Mailbox..." in "Mailbox" menu) that you feel important.

Mail fails to get new mail in a timely manner from IMAP servers

I Use IMAP mail servers. One is Gmail, several are under my own control. Each exhibit the same intermittent issue
First versions: Mail Version 8.2 (2070.6), current Yosemite
Symptoms:
New messages exist on the servers. I can see it using a web interface. At times the Mail client refuses to download it, not for ever, but for ages and ages. I have had a delay of up to a dozen hours. The activity window shows normal activity. When it gets stuck like this only three things will achieve download of the messages:
Elapsed time, often lengthy, always unpredictable
Usually, not always, synchronising the mailboxes
Quit and restart of Mail on the client
This all started with the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Yosemite (one jump). At this point Mail itself as a client became unresponsive, and has never improved.

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.

Pop mail on iPhone 4s

Unable to find settings for pop mail. Setting up Yahoo account is easy but it is imap.
When you go to other account set up, after inputing
Information, automatic installs as imap account. Never gives option for
Pop. Any help?

This is what they did at the Apple Store for me, you have to have a Yahoo Plus account first, though.
I am having problems sending mail OUT, though,
2) Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings
Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication, and then select password from the Authentication)

Mail won't get new mail after a while

Running Mail app on my Powerbook on OS 10.5.8. I use this as my work computer. More and more frequently I find that Mail is not retrieving my messages after being open for a while. The main account is a gmail IMAP account. I am also running Mail Act-On and MailTags, which are key utilities in my workflow.
I try clicking on Get New Mail, or "Synchronize IMAP Account," and taking all accounts offline and then taking them online, but these do not help.
Quitting and relaunching Mail sometimes helps, but not always! Is there anything else I should try? This is making me crazy!

I think you should open the Mail folder -- Home/Library/Mail -- and locate the file named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 and delete it, after having Quit Mail. Open each POP account folder in the Mail folder, and make sure there are no other files of similar name within these folders.
Deleting this file, and relaunching Mail will result in its downloading whatever messages remain on the server, and may give you some duplicates, but this import file will be renewed and fresh.

Logout has timed out because the application Mail failed to quit.

Hello world... (Mac world that is)
The message says more "Logout has timed out because the application Mail failed to quit. To try again, quit Mail and choose Log Out from the Apple menu."
I tried everything. Still does not let me shut down.
Other programs will not shut down at this time, including Finder. I also know that the Time Machine icon has been spinning for over an hour. So I imagine we are in a loop of sorts.
Unfortunately, I have had similar troubles before that I did not record. So I figure I start now and see if somebody out there can help me.
Peace!
Chopo

I'm having the same problem (can't logout, shut down or restart), but the referenced solution doesn't seem to apply. I do not get a "Cannot connect to server" message, I just get a "Logout has timed out" message. It seemed to happen after an automatic software update that was supposed to involve a restart, but it hasn't been able to restart since.
Can you please clarify, what is meant by "delete the AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary, which is located under the root node" (with reference to file loginwindow.plist)?
This is what the loginwindow.plist file looks like now:
bplist00Ñ!AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary¢ÒTPathTHide-/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HPEventHandler.app/Ò _N/Library/Application Support/Hewlett-Packard/Software Update/HP Scheduler.app//27
I was at the genius bar earlier, and they said I need to 'archive and install' in order to 'reset the OS'... but there's got to be a better answer than that, no? Perhaps this plist thing? I'm surprised that even powering off the imac doesn't reset anything... it just comes back the way it was. I'm supposed to bring the 25 inch imac in to the mac store for surgery (archive and install), but seeing several similar cases on this discussion forum, without archive and install identified as the clear solution, I'm in search of a second opinion... or any suggestion for how to simply make this work the way it was before? Is it 10.5.4 that is causing this? Should I go back to 10.5.3?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Non Apple applications fails to launch

Hello,
Today, when I launched MS Word or other non-apple application (like Indesign 2), I've got the following error :
The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "5<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_LaunchServices>"
I tried to repair the disk autorization with the disk utility, and I also launched Onyx to reinitialize other system parameters.
I tried to reinstall the Tiger Update 10.4.8 (combo) but it failed..
Does anyone have a solution ? the other Apple Apps work fine (the iApps, mail, safari, etc..)
Thansk in advance for your help !!!

Archive and Install will install a new System but save your Users, network settings, and third party applications, and put your old System in a folder named Previous System. You might want to reinstall plugins rather than to retrieve them from the Previous System. You also might have to reinstall some third party applications if they don't work after the Archive and Install.

A plea to Apple please fix slow finder, slow "save-as" options, slow address search in mail

Like many I am adding my voice to those whose finder has slowed to a crawl, it takes many seconds for it to "see" a folder.
I found one fix to the above at http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/13/fix-finder-slow-high-cpu-use-mac-os-x/which basically resets the com.apple.finder.plist file. Thanks to the user who posted this.
And the "save-as" function that is also very slow. I have seen some work-arounds but I am not comfortable messing around in Terminal and would probably forget to get rid of a turn-around when an OSX update comes. So apple please solve this.
The mail problem is similar. It is now quicker to drag an e-mail address from contacts into mail than typing in a name! Apple please fix.
None of these problems were there with Mountain Lion and judging from the hundreds of posts out there, it seems it can only be a Maverick issue.
Thank you.

I surmise it was from the link you provided.
Most problems reported on this site are directly attributable to incompatible system modifications and poorly written or otherwise ill-conceived utilities. They exist in roughly the same proportion that have existed with every OS X upgrade since Jaguar, at least. Apple has no way to fix problems caused by software they did not develop and cannot control.
If you are interested in solving your problems more information is required. Start by ruling out hardware defects, including an impending disk failure that would cause the symptoms you described. Back up your system if you have not already done so.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting, assuming you are interested in doing that.
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:

When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

Mac Mini Mail Fail

Mail sporadically won't send mail from my mac mini. Other apple devices, iPhone and iMac, have no problems.
The down time I can't send mail can last several days which is a problem as its my work computer.
I get the following error:
Cannot send message using the server xxxxxxxxxxx
The SMTP connection to server xxxxxxxxx failed.
The settings for mail mail accounts are unchanged it just seems like my mac mini just decides it doesn't want to work some days.
I can send from my iPhone which is connected to the same wifi.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have just tried updating to Yosemite but that hasn't helped.
Yosemite 10.10 - but issue was around in the last OS
Mac mini - late 2012
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB

The port the problem account is using is the same as on my iPhone which works without a problem.
Its the port my email host suggests I use.
I really have no idea about networks and emails. I thought it might be a problem with our network at my studio but my iPhone works fine while connected to the same wifi and it has all the same account information.

BTinternet mail failing on newly restored ipad2

I restored my father's iPad2 last night via iTunes on my PC (he's in hospital and after many failed attempts at entering correct password, he disabled said iPad).
I have deleted the old mail account on the iPad and added it again with correct passwords but still can not send mail. It is receiving mail but not sending. I am getting message saying "the SMTP server mail.btinternet.com is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the outgoing mail server field".
There is nothing wrong with the connection and the information in outgoing mail server field is correct.
I believe there is an issue with BTinternet mail but can anyone throw some light on this? I promised father i'd get his iPad back to him so he can use it while in hospital long term.
Thanks in advance.
Alison

Apple mail having trouble with AOL mail

Set it all up fine. Mail comes in but sending is very erratic. Set up the correct imap server on the correct port with the correct authentication. First mail after setting up server goes fine but pretty much randomly mails fail to send with the error that the selcted smtp server cannot be used.
Is this a problem with Apple mail and AOL's propriatory lash up of IMAP mail? <Edited by Moderator>
Can't switch to another smtp server since too many internet filters block AOL mails not sent from the main aol smtp server.
cheers

Hi Andrew!
Are the settings posted below, what you are using?
-Account Type: IMAP
-Incoming Mail Server: imap.aol.com
-Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.aol.com:Your AOL Screenname Here
