OSX Lion Mail problem

I use 2 locations for work and home. Each has a different ISP. At the home address I can send / receive mail with no problem. At work I can only receive mails but only rarely send. Any ideas how I can send from both locations?
At the work location, the mac.com email seems not to connect, but I can still recieve to my private email address which is from another provider.
Any help to solve this will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you

OSX Lion Mail Server Junk Mail Filter blocks incoming mail from any Yahoo address

I have yet to be able to use OSX Lion Mail Server's Junk Mail Filter. I have several contacts who use (free) Yahoo Mail addresses. Whenever I turn on Junk Mail Filter, even at the Most Cautious setting, any incoming mail from Yahoo.com addresses do not make it into my inbox. I was told last year by an Apple Enterprise Tech Support contact that "..we're still having problems with that Junk Mail Filter, sorry, just leave it off for now.." WTH In the meantime, the good news is I'm not missing any incoming e-mails; but, I'm having to sort through and delete a few hundred spam messages each day.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance

I agree with the points made by Strontium90. If you have any PCs then Apple's mail/contacts/calendar software is a poor choice. Kerio Connect as a mail/contacts/calendar server would not only support Macs but would also do a good job supporting PCs running Outlook.
If you are going to become a pure Apple site, then you could use just the Apple software and this would be cheaper than using Kerio. For 30 users this might be a suitable solution, however even in a pure Apple environment many people prefer Kerio. For example I find Kerio much more pleasent when dealing with email addresses across multiple domains, email aliases, email group addresses, and so on. Kerio also has built-in email archiving, that is keeping a record of all emails. Kerio also provides a web-browser client for accessing email, calendar and contacts. It is worth noting that as standard Mountain Lion Server no longer includes a webmail feature. While I personally find the Kerio webclient rather ugly it does work.
There are some annoyances I have with Kerio, firstly they have always charged a 'maintenance' fee for their software. This provided access to software updates, and in the past also provided access to Kerio technical support. Unfortunately they now only let you make two (2) support cases per year for that cost, and you now have to pay extra for any more cases. Also while they added support for EWS (Exchange Web Service) to allow using Outlook 2011 for Mac as a supported email client, they did a poor job of this so that it does not work properly with any other EWS compatible client. This means it will not work in EWS mode with Apple Mail, nor with Outlook for Windows. While there are other ways to connect these other clients, this seems a foolish move and there have been plenty of requests to fix this.
Apple's Mail client uses EWS to connect to a 'real' MS Exhange server.

OSX Lion Mail and Exchange Server

My ITS person says that OSX Lion Mail "doesn't allow for exchange accounts so calendars etc don't work".
Is this true?
Thanks!

Again, both of you have been really helpful. Thank you so much.
If you are both still on this thread, I would like to ask about solutions to a space problem:
My primary computer is a MacBook Pro (Lion 10.7.3), where I am running Entourage 2008 (13.1.2). Because I have limited space on my MBP for housing old emails (under "On My Computer"), I created a server from an old Mac in my office. Then, using Entourage 2008 from my MBP, I created an additional IMAP account on the old Mac server, with subfolders for "email_2005", "sent_email_2005", "email_2006", "sent_email_2006", etc. This is where I archive all my old email. The nice thing about setting it up this way is that I can search any or all of these folders anytime, and from any location, directly from my Entourage 2008 app on my MBP, yet they take up no space on my MBP.
First of all, I suspect there were easier ways to archive off emails from my MBP, but after searching and asking for weeks, this is what I settled on and it has served me well for years.
But now, my old Mac really is getting old and I'm worried it will die at some point. Plus I'm not thrilled about trying to maintain the server software on this old Mac.
I also have space on a shared drive maintained by ITS, that's backed-up nightly. This would be an ideal place to house archived mail folders. Then I could take down the server on my old Mac and not worry about it anymore. Unfortunately, I have not been able to set up an IMAP account on my shared drive space (I suspect it's against the ITS rules of this drive).
Entourage 2008 does not permit me to designate where "On My Computer" folders are housed (they have to be on the same computer running the Entourage 2008 app). If I could designate the location of "On My Computer" folders, a simple solution would have been to just locate them on the shared drive and I wouldn't have to bother with creating additional IMAP accounts housed elsewhere.
Questions:
1) Does Outlook 2011 or Lion Mail permit designating the location of local files (off my primary MBP) for archiving emails?
2) Is there a simpler solution to archiving emails off my laptop, but that would also allow them to be conveniently searchable from within a mail app on my laptop?
Sorry for the long-winded questions.
Thank you again.

Migrate from Exchange Server 2011 to Mac OSX Lion Mail Server

Hi all,
I'm looking to migrate from Exchange Server 2011 to Mac OSX Lion Mail Server. I work for a company with roughly 30 employees and they use exchange for mail, contacts and calendars. We want to take full advantage of OSX Server and to completly get off of exchange.
What are the best ways to do this? Are there any tools available to help this process?

Osx Lion Restore Problems

So I decided to restore my new 2011 21.5 inch imac back to osx lion, I decided this because apparently my macintosh hd wont let my partition it in anyway and i cant put windows on here unless I do a fresh install of lion, then I can do boot camp.
So I booted into the recovery manager option when you start up your computer and I clicked on restore osx lion.
It took about 6 hours to download, and then the computer rebooted, and now I dont know what to do, I went back to the restore lion option in that menu and it makes me download it all again.
Does anyone know what I can do?
Id be happy if someone could help with my partitioning problem if they cant help with my restore problem.
Thanks for the time,
Dan

Lion Recovery Assistant should only take a few minutes to download unless you're on the slowest Internet connection known to man. Also OS X is NOT like MS Windows that has to be reinstalled at every hickup. It is INCREDIBLY stable. On the computer I'm using right now in the 4+ years I've owned it it has NEVER needed the OS reinstalled and is totally stable. I have upgraded it from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard and now Lion. It has been through countless updates and still continues to work like it is a new machine.

Mountain Lion/Mail problem

Since installing Mountain Lion, Mail slows down to a crawl every few days (I've purged every cache more than once) and iTunes shuts off out of the blue. Anyone else having these problems?

Since the last couple of ML updates I can no longer send any mails.

OSX Lion Mail - email account appending previous user's mail in "mailto:" section

So here is the issue I'm runing into.
I recently bought a MBA for my gf and she likes it. I decided to set up everything in the beginning and download critical updates and this made me use my AppleID to sign in. I was trying to make sure that the Macbook mail app was working fine, so I used my gmail account to test it out.
Prior to handing the macbook air to her, I made sure I took out all my account information from the Mail settings.
Months later I started receiving reply emails that was intended to go to her.
Upon checking the mail receipt, it seems like my gmail account got appended to her "mailto:" part of the mail. Obviously when her contacts reply to her, it would use the email in the mailto: part the email arrives at my inbox, not hers.
I thought this was just a one time occurence, but now its happening all the time and we're getting annoyed.
We checked through all possible settings and sub settings in the Mail application and found 0 trace of my gmail account.
So here is the list of my questions:
How do I fix this?
If there is no fix, is it possible to reset the mail application back to its initial configuration?
I'm trying to find ways to fix this without formating the whole box.
The mail app is the native OSX Lion app, fyi.
Thanks in advance!

Check the setting (See red arrows) in this pane of Mail's Preferences.
Make sure the right account is shown.
You can see my setting here. You may want have hers more specific.

Lion Mail Problem

I just began using Lion but can not get Mail to work. I can't see the viewer window and I can't tell if it's receiving mail. Has anyone had Mail problems that can help me solve this?

Same problem here...
I can see the preferences, write new email, but that's all i can do...
However, i have no doubt this problem will be solved soon!
Great job for the king of the feline (10.7)!

Mac osx lion install problem

when i install osx lion on my mac it installs perfectly until it has to restart i get a do not enter sign then i am forced into installing snow leopard please help

you bought a computer iwth the smaller SSD and you could swap SSD out for 120GB or larger.
60GB is not going to provide enough storage for both Windows 7 and Lion.
Also, good to have some free overhead space for an SSD to manage its own 'garbage'
http://www.macsales.com/ssd
They have kits to allow you to swap yours - not sure but they are the best in Mac and SSD support - so you can clone and keep things nice, and even use your current SSD either external drive case for it or in some Macs with 2nd internal SSD

Intel Mac OSX - Mac mail problem

After reindexing mailboxes i'm now getting 5 or 6 duplicate emails. how do i stop this? thanks!

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Mountain Lion Mail problems

I have mountain lion installed on a MBP i7 2.7 GHz and Mail has gone nuts. It won't open a new mail viewer window under the file menu but will under the window menu. When it does it doesn't display any messages in any folders, the toolbar has no buttons or search field. When I open preferences and check then uncheck "make this account active" the messages all appear, but the other display issues continue.
I can send and receive mail but repairing permissions and restarting make no difference.
It all started after I ran disk warrior after the machine wouldn't restart.
Can I reinstall Mountain Lion or Mail? I'm really at odds with this. Thanks in anticipation.

Command+r will boot to the Recovery HD partition and then when you select Reinstall Mac OS X it will download Mt Lion for the Apple web servers, IE from over the Internet.
You could and should make your own Mt Lion install USB thumb drive. There are many articles on how to do it and I've found this program the best for astually making the USB thumb drive.
Mene1, I found the discussions useful but there were so many fixes that worked for some and not for others - some of which I tried - that I resorted the reinstalling ML as you suggested.
Shootist 007 completed the picture so I feel that now I have a workable strategy if it happens again.
Essentially if Mountain Lion Mail is going nuts and you have zapped the PRAM, repaired permissions and started to fiddle with files in the library I for one would go straight to a reinstall as described by our guru friends.
I will definitely be making a bootable USB of ML - how do I ensure I have the latest version or do I have to run software update staight after an install from USB (I'm guessing the COMMAND R procedure installs the latest update since it downloads ML direct from the server.)
Thanks so much.

OSX Lion - mail - grouping problem

With the new grouping of emails in Lion, when you want to move an email from your inbox, to a folder, it moves the related emails as well. How can you undo this as it causes some unwanted moves ...
