OSX Mail disconnects and also hogs bandwidth
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mail accounts go offline over the course of a few hours. They don't restore with a "take all accounts online" command - instead I have to quit and restart Mail. Within a half hour or so, my me.com account goes offline, followed by the others.
A second issue is Mail hogging memory. My son is a PC gamer and we've worked out the snag by starting then quitting apps. We checked this in Activity Monitor: when we quit Mail "packets sent" dives from the roof to the floor.
Help appreciated.

To use iCloud's synchronization features, you must upgrade to Lion, not Leopard.
Mail.app in Snow Leopard will continue to function as usual. If you have a MobileMe email account (me.com or mac.com), you need to register for an iCloud account and manually reset Mail to use the iCloud servers instead of MobileMe. You won't be able to use iCloud's other features, but email will work just fine.
Non-MobileMe email accounts are not affected in any way.

I have downloaded Mavericks OSX 10.9 and Numbers 3.0. I have revised some of my Numbers files. Today Apple advised of Updates for my computer, which I downloaded. I now find that I am running Numbers 09 on my computer and cannot access my revised Numbers files without going to the App Store and buying Numbers 3.0 for $19.99. Has anyone else run into this problem?
Something similar happened to me: I opened a spreadsheet that I worked on yesterday and received an error message saying that I needed to load a new version of Numbers. That would be the same new version that I had downloaded the day before. It sent me to the App Store where I was told that no new software was available for me.
I noticed that I had the older version of Numbers still open in my dock. I removed it, opened Numbers 3.0, and my spreadsheet appeared.
Not sure that will help in your situation, but I wish you well. -
OSX Mail Problems and Godaddy Problems
Hello,
I have tried to resolve this problem with help from Godaddy and from the local Apple store technician who came out to look at my settings etc. Tried using different ports, that didn't help. These various errors happen several times a day.
1. I'm getting this error: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “[my account name]” or try again. The server error encountered was: The connection to the server “pop.secureserver.net” on port 110 timed out.
2. Even though password is entered in my email account preferences, sometimes I get this error: Please enter the password for user “[my email address]” on SMTP server “smtpout.secureserver.net”
3. Another error: unable to access outgoing mail server.
4. Sometimes it shows an exclamation point next to the inbox on the upper left. What does this symbol mean?
5. Sometimes it shows a lightning bolt. What do these symbols mean?
Please let me know if you have any thoughts on these items. Thanks in advance!

Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.
I have to restart mail most times before it starts recieving or recognizes the pop server.
As I said a lot of recipients do not recieve my mails when there is an attachment or when I reply to their email.Contact iTunes Customer Service and request assistance

What do I do about this message? I've restored it 3 times, but this message still comes up, and i cannot put music on it now.
iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

I recently replaced the hard disk on my macbook pro. As I had lost my original system disks that came with my mac, I paid an authorised Apple Reseller to reinstall OX 10.6.8 and also they reinstalled the data from my Time Machine back up. However, I have noticed a lot of functions no longer work. I was told by Apple Reseller that they only installed system disk I (operating system), but not system disk II (programme disk), as they do not have that disk. I was advised to use Disk II from any macbook pro with an OS 10.6.8 or higher..... I tried that but it did not work as mac would not read that disk. Can anyone please help me solve this problem?

Rosetta is an Add-On that has to be selected during the install of OS X. It is not installed by default. IIRC during the initial install sequence you have to select Custom or Customize and then select Rosetta...
Or, it the OP's paid technician missed it the first time, he can mount the OS X install DVD on the desktop, open the Optional Installs folder, double click on the Optional Installs .mpkg, and step through the process until arriving at the "Installation Type." There, the OP can check off Rosetta, iPod Support, Qucktime, Printer Support, more fonts, and a bunch of Applications, including Address Book, iCal, iChat, iTunes, Mail, Dictionaries, Safari, and X11 for installation. Both those installs and whatever is on Disk 2 can be installed without starting from scratch.
And while having the original installer DVD's that came with the Mac is the best way to go, the OP can download the 10.6.8 combo updater and run that. Since it's an all purpose updater, it configures itself for the Mac it's run on so, in a sense, it's customization after the fact. If the combo updater is run before Disk 2 is available, it can be run again afterwards. Indeed, I've found that the combo updater can fix problems which normally would call for a reinstallation of the OS; not always but sometimes. -

I want to set up OSX Server on my iMAC running Mavericks and also install Windows 8 on Boot Camp. If I do this and boot into Windows, will that prevent server from running while I'm in Windows?
No. Bootcamp, as you've described, requires rebooting into your chosen operating system. If you want to run both OS X and Windows at the same time from your hardware, look at virtualization tools like Parrallels or VMWare.

windows live mail having problem after joining in domain examples incoming is good but sent or outgoing is not there and also send mails are not exporting at the time of live mail exporting time?
This is not usually related to AD issues, but it may be more of a DNS issue. I posted a request in your other thread to post an unedited ipconfig /all of the DC and of the client.
This may help use diagnose this issue and your other thread's printer issues.
Thank you,
