Ovi Mail IMAP and SMTP servers constantly down

I'm reading my ovi.com emails with a Lumia smartphone and with Outlook. I constantly fail to connect to the IMAP and SMTP server and thereby do not get or cannot send emails. Webmail works fine, but especially sending emails from Outlook or from Lumia is currently impossible. Mails just get stuck to the outbox folder and both Outlook and phone keep asking for the password, as if my password was wrong.
This has happened randomly after the Yahoo transfer, but now it is happening on daily basis. I haven't been able to send emails from my Lumia in a week. The settings both in Outlook and in Lumia are correct, have checked several times. Usually when I leave my phone alone for a night, in the morning it has synced the inbox, but not the Outbox.
Anyone have similar problems?

Ok.. if you guys have a final configuration please share...
I spent all morning and this after over 30min chat with nokia care support... final answer? they told me to contact Yahoo!
In the meantime, I also contacted nokia through tweeter and they were like: .. but nokiamail has been deactivated! I found it strange because my last income email on my cel was on Aug13... and I can still access nokiamail through webpage (www.nokiamail.com) so it´s not dead.
I´m using my name on the site as ******@ovi.com (cool, right?) but I want to have access to it on my ipad and another cel...thx for any help!

11 e-mail accounts from different providers are suddenly giving me errors saying they can't connect to IMAP and SMTP server?

I have 11 e-mail accounts that was working fine a minute ago, but now they all say that they can't connect to the IMAP and SMTP servers.
They all work fine on my iphone.
How should i troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, restarted for the third or fourth time, and now it works...
Perhaps it was a time-issue.

You need to get the settings for your email from your email provider and enter them in Internet Accounts (System Preferences). Many of the common systems are already available, all you need is a password and an email address to set them up.

Mail does not connect to IMAP or SMTP servers

For a month or more Mail has been unable to connect to my Yahoo mail account and is now unable to connect to Google's email servers. I can connect to both these accounts on my iPhone and with other email clients like Outlook or Mailbox so I'm reasonably certain the problem is with the Mail app itself. Checking the connection doctor gives this error message for the both the Yahoo and Google IMAP servers: "Trying to log in to this Yahoo/Google IMAP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct." I copy and paste passwords from my password manager so I know they are correct. I'm running OS X 10.10.2 and Mail v. 8.2. Any suggestions?

How to set up two POP e-mail accounts using the same POP and SMTP servers

I have an e-mail address based on a domain I purchased which is based on my company name. Now retired, I have purchased a new domain with a simpler, personalised name. My original e-mail account uses the incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail servers operated by my ISP; mail.btinternet.com.
I have set up a new account on my PC in Microsoft Outlook, and have successfully sent and received emails using the new e-mail address taken from my new domain name.
I have now tried to mirror this on my iPhone, but every time I enter all the relevant data for the new e-mail address, user name, password, mail servers etc., and then press 'save', I get a pop-up which says: "xxxx" is Already Added This POP account has already been added to your iPhone. ("xxxx" is the name given to my original e-mail account). Nowhere have I input "xxxx" in the course of setting up the new account.
I need both accounts operational during an extended switch-over period as I alert everyone to the e-mail change over. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

What targeting the Mail.app preference file, do the following:
Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
The only exception to this is if you have a .Mac account which will be recreated automatically and/or if you created an email account as part of the computer setup assistant when first turning on the computer when new.
Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailbox files at Home > Library > Mail.
After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
Test if this resolves the problem.

How to enable logging of IMAP and SMTP connections in Mail

I have set up my own mail server and am able to send and receive mail. However, I would like to enable SSL security for connections from the client application to the mail server. I have created certificate authority, created a root certificate, and created an SSL certificate and key for the server. However, every time I connect, I get a warning message that the certificate is not valid - but the host names and domain names are correct in the certificate and match in the error message. It appears that there is some other problem with the certificate that is not reported in the dialog.
I would like to turn on logging in Mail.app to try to find out what is happening as the connection is made and TLS is enabled to find out why the certificate is being rejected. What options exist for logging SMTP and IMAP connections in mail? How can I find the logging options - should I look for strings in the binary or a resource file?

You cannot log only those changes but you can log *all* changes.
The messages 111008 and 111010 are the ones to look for (as described in this post).

Apple Mail and SMTP servers

I have several identities set up in one Gmail account that I would like to use with Yosemite Mail. I also have two SMTP servers set up for outgoing mail -- one for Gmail, one for work. Is there any way that I can change the settings so that Yosemite Mail automatically chooses the right SMTP server depending on whether I am using my work identity or my Gmail identity? Thanks!

Hey Dan,
You can edit and change the outgoing SMTP servers in mail. To do that take a look at the article below to walk you through changing it as well as making it to where you choose what outgoing server that you want to use when sending mail.

Mail to blocked SMTP server stalls mails to other SMTP servers

Hi,
I have a particularly weird problem.
In Mail.app I have a Mobile Me account, a personal IMAP account and an Exchange account (working over IMAP etc. as it's Exchange server 2003 so I don't get all the fruity Snow Leopard/Exchange goodness).
The problem I have is this- in the office they block access to external SMTP servers (quite rightly).
If I send a mail through my Mobile Me or personal IMAP account and forget to tell it to use the internal work SMTP server then Mail.app will sit forever trying to connect to the external SMTP server and never time out (or if it does timeout it must be more than a few hours).
This isn't a huge problem in and of itself. However from this point on any mail I send will sit behind the stalled e-mail in the queue and never go out- so even my internal mails hang around not sending.
The only indication of this is the non-stop spinning wheel on the sent items folder and the never-ending 'Connecting to smtp.me.com' in the activity window.
The only way to resolve this is to go to the activity window and cancel all connections to the offending SMTP server. At that point the 'Outbox' folder will appear in my folder list and show me all of the e-mails it hasn't sent. I then have to open each one individually and click send again, at which point they go out (provided they still have the correct internal SMTP server selected).

Ernie,
Thanks for the response. I have previously seen Mail.app fail to send and bring the message back up telling me this- but that usually happens quite some time after trying to send, if at all, and I don't recall ever having this error happen in the office (where they are blocking these ports).
I have had similar issues when travelling and trying to send through hotel networks that typically block port 25- even then I rarely get a failure message (note that this has been happening both on 10.5.x and my clean install of 10.6.x)
I did check to see if the network here was doing some spoofing on SMTP ports but it isn't;
#####:~ #####$ time telnet smtp.me.com 25
Trying 17.148.16.31...
telnet: connect to address 17.148.16.31: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
real 1m15.019s
user 0m0.002s
sys 0m0.003s
I get the same 1m15s timeout on port 465 & 587, yet Mail.app never seems to give up trying.
I tried sending to an external SMTP server without SSL to see if the behaviour was any different- but after 15 mins it's still trying so I guess not.
Weird.

Mail 5 and SMTP server list

Hi,
ever since my upgrade to OS X Lion, I've noticed that the usage of the SMTP server list in Mail 5 seems to have changed. In the past, said list contained ALL configured SMTP servers. When configuring e-mail accounts (e.g. MobileMe) you could specify a default SMTP server from the server list and check a checkbox to ONLY use the specified server for outgoing mail of an account.
In Lion the meaning of this server list seems to have changed and I think I have discovered a bug that prevents me from using only a specific SMTP server with an account.
For accounts that are supported by Lion and listed under the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" Preference Pane, Mail 5 seems to always use a default server setting for outgoing mail. For GMail, this default server seems to use SSL. However, for MobileMe the default server is not the service's SSL SMTP server.
Sending mail on non-SSL ports is a problem for me for two reasons:
1.) Obviously this a security/privacy issue.
2.) I'm a student and when logged into my universities network I can't send e-mail on default e-mail ports (25). Our servers block any outgoing e-mail on ports other than SSL/TLS ports.
So far this shouldn't be a problem, because you should be able to overwrite Mail's default server by configuring another MobileMe SMTP server with SSL in the server list and checking the checkbox depicted in the below screenshot.
Unfortunately, whenever I select the SSL enabled MobileMe SMTP server, activate the checkbox and save my changes, Mail will revert to the the default SMTP server without SSL immediately. If I delete the default server from the server list, it pops up again after saving the changes. There seem to be just two ways of sending e-mail using a different server than the default one:
1. Don't check the checkbox and specify the SMTP server for each e-mail you want to send.
2. Send using the default server. If sending the mail fails (because I am in my university's network), select the SSL SMTP server in the trouble-shooting popup.
Option one is annoying. Option two still bears the security/privacy problem and is annoying, because it takes ages for Mail to accept that a server does not seem to work.
There seems to be no way of fixing this behavior and I have it on both iMac and my Macbook Air. Is this a bug? Do you have any suggestions for a fix?
Thanks a lot,
Felix

Felix,
I agree, I think it is a bug. My wife is experiencing the exact same issue on her MacBook after upgrading to Lion.
I submitted Mail feedback tonight to Apple. I hope they get this fixed pronto. My wife prefers Mail to the web interface or using her iPhone for mail. Thanks for explaining the issue.

Can't accès iCloud from Mail since the iCloud servers went down but ok with Safari access

A few Thursdays ago we lost access to the iCloud service when the servers went down. Mine never went back on in Mail but works just fine using Safari when accessing my iCloud mail account.
I can't access Icloud Preferences (Could not load iCloud preference pane) nor the Accounts Preferences. (Could not load Internet Accounts preference pane.)
A warning keeps popping up.... because of a problem with (my email) @me.com
Thank you.
Mitch

You only see Apple Token when it's an iCloud account. Seems something is corrupted in this acount. I would delete and add back. Mail will enter all the settings for you automatically. Just enter your email address and password.
If you don't see the Apple Token option then, I would test in a new User to see if it works there.
Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it's your User's folder that contains the problem.
CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.
Do you still see the issue?
If yes, then the problem is with your base files.
If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.

Do Verizon's POP3 and SMTP servers support SSL?

The Mail account setup wizard on Mac OS X 10.6.2 successfully added my new verizon.net email account in a couple of easy steps. During the process, the wizard warned me that my password would be sent in the clear; I told it to continue.
After successfully sending and receiving test messages, I tried enabling SSL for the incoming and outgoing servers. At that point, both sending and receiving failed.
I read the minimalist Support description about email app setup -- no mention of ports or SSL.
Is SSL possible on Verizon's servers?
