POP Account No Longer Downloading Mail From BT Yahoo

My setting have remained totally unchanged for the last six months, but Thursday evening I stopped receiving any of my emails via "Mail" from my BT account (.mac is still working). I had downloaded some 20 small audio files from a friend (a job I'm involved with) that evening - and wonder whether it triggered some kind of mechanism at the server -but I can still send out from mail to the server, or forward to the .mac account from the server at Yahoo. I assume this will be a BT issue, and not my problem, as I have no filters set up and all settings set to receive all incoming mail, dubious or not? Anyone else suddenly had any issues? Thanks in advance.
PS I also deleted all the incoming mail that had attachments just in case 'mail' had reached its limit, but even my test message isn't coming back to me (but it is appearing on the BT Yahoo web page).

Hi Prescu and BDAqua,
I had a very competent help desk employee talk me through the problem today. It was either a corrupt email causing a blockage, or more likely that the webmail in-box had reached its capacity (apparently even with 'unlimited' accounts they can get too big and cause a blockage thus preventing MacMail from being able to pull emails from the server). I created a new folder on my ISP's Webmail and transferred everything there - then once I'd hit 'get new email' from within Mail gradually (probably ten to twenty minutes) things started to flow in as they should. No idea how the .mac emails got onto the webmail and I've not checked this out yet -but at least it works again at a very important time!
Hope this helps and thanks for the input - much appreciated.
PS I was told this will happen again at some point so to be prepared!

I can no longer download Apps from App store nor update the existing ones

iMac 21" Intel

I can no longer download Apps from App Store.
I would select the app, press the icon to download the App (Ottieni in my language, Italian), download would not start and an alarm saying "Download failed, try from the Purchased page to retry" would pop-up, see screenshot below.
I would visit the page "Purchased" (second icon from right) and try from there by pressing the icon Install on the right hand side but the same pop-up icon would appear and a message by the icon Install saying "An error occurred" would appear.
The same problem occurr when I try to update Keynote, Imovie or any other App I have downloaded.
I do not know whether this is related to this issue but some time ago I installed Avast.
I could not install other apps such as uTorrent (not downloaded through App Store) until I removed Avast.
I am utterly disappointed.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks.
Carlo

Yes, Avast could very well be the issue. Bad software, use the developer's instructions to uninstall and don't install again. Your Mac has no real need for most 3rd party anti-viral software and those so-called tune-up apps mess up more than they are worth. A pristine OS X system is all that you need, it takes care of itself.

I can't recieve or send e-mails from my yahoo account in mail. Also, what should I do to repair the screen of my iPad 2 if I don't have any Apple warranty?

For some unknown reason, I have been having issues when sending and recieving e-mails from my Yahoo account in mail on my iPad, but can use mail just fine on my iPhone. Why is this, and how do I fix it?
I accidentally dropped my iPad 2 on Monday, it hit my foot, and the screen cracked. I recieved this iPad some time in August 2011, and no longer have any sort of warrany on it. Should I take it in to Apple and get a replacement, or have a third party fix it? And if so, how much would it cost, and where should I go?

I am glad we were able to get your email working again. Please reach out anytime you need us.
Thanks,
Anthony_VZ

I have an imap account and deleted all mail from server. Once doing this all emails from my iPad -which was on a wi-fi- where automatically deleted. Fortunately these emails are still visible on my iPhone that was without connection. If I send all these emails to my iCloud account - they will remain into my outgoing folder until I open my wi-fi- …BUT will they be sent when I open my wi-fi connection, or since they are no longer on my server… be deleted for ever!?

This is how IMAP works, if you delete from one device it will also be deleted in the other devices.
iCloud do not backup e-mails.

Pb while getting mails from my Yahoo account

Hi,
Since two days geting mails from my Yahoo account doesn't work. It all begun with Mail saying it must rebuild the index at start up. Ok I let it dot it. It then tried to download my whole Inbox from thr Yahoo account and get stuck at some point (I had more than 300 messages there).
Ok I removed them all and tried again, and now Mail still gets stuck while downloading the first unread mail. The message appears in Mail but the transfer is not completed (the Activity Window shows that sthg is not finished), and I cannot quit unless I force it to quit. I tried different things, but nothing worked (index again, emptying my Inbox in Mail,...).
Sending emails works fine.
Thank you for any hint

I can no longer download music from itunes store. It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist. I tried to download more than one at a time. It stopped. Now I cant download at all. Even rebooted my machine.

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

Try deleting that app, then see if you have the same issue.

I was unable to get my Bose 3-2-1 remote to control my Apple TV.
I went out and bought a Logitech Harmony 520 remote control (about $70 at Amazon) that controls all my components and is really cool since it is an activity based remote and since it's really easy to setup via their web based application.

Thunderbird prefixes mail from BT yahoo email address with [SPAM]

When I open Thunderbird to read mail from BT yahoo, the mail is prefixed with [SPAM]. This has happened in the last few days, BT maintain it is nothing to do with them and to my knowledge nothing has changed in the last months. The messages are not shown as spam in BT yahoo mail.
Whislt talking to BT they sent me a mail which (as Thunderbird was opened) was received without the [SPAM] prefix and this morning an Amazon email was received whilst Thunderbird was open, again without the [SPAM] prefix.
It does not do this with mail from an Orange/EE email address.
Can I prevent this, please? (It is just annoying rather than critical and to me unfathomable)!
This began on 19/10/14 after I had not used my computer for 5 days and I opened all 3 email addresses at once through Thunderbird (as pr normal) to receive 60 emails all prefixed [SPAM] - previously all was well - and BT had still filtered out the mails that I regarded as spam.

Thunderbird does not use the word 'Spam', it uses the word 'Junk'.
So if you are seeing 'Spam' then this is either being applied by the server or you have a program installed on your computer which is doing it. But it is not Thunderbird.
I also use BT and it puts some emails in the Spam folder on webmail account.
But if I get emails in Thunderbird with a 'Spam' entered at the start of the subject line then it has been put there by my anti-virus/firewall program.
For example, I use Norton Anti-virus/firewall product and Norton will add 'Norton AntiSpam' to emails it thinks is spam. There is the facility to place exclusions in Norton.
Other products such as 'spampal' or 'spamassassin' will also add the word Spam.
So I would suspect that you have a program running that is doing this.

One POP account no longer collecting new mail

I'm having a very strange problem with Mail 3.6 on my MacBook2,1 running OS 10.5.8. I currently have three POP account set up to be automatically checked every 15 minutes. I have not changed settings for any of them in over a year. Yesterday around noon one of them stopped receiving new mail (the other two continue to work just fine). My iPhone, on which I have not changed any settings either, contines to collect mail from all three accounts (and does not remove mail from the server). I can log into the web interface for the account (it is an old university account), and mail that I have received since noon yesterday is there, all the same stuff as I've been receiving on my phone, but which does not appear in Mail. The weirdest thing about this this is that there is no error: Mail reports that it is successfully connecting to and logging into the server--Connection Doctor gives the account a green light. Yet I know that there is uncollected mail on the server. Any suggestions about what could be going wrong will be most appreciated.
Many thanks,
PJW

Hi Neville, thanks for the suggestion. I had not tried anything like this. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem: I just got duplicate copies of all the emails on the problematic server up to the point at which they stopped downloading yesterday.
I should add that I have, of course, rebooted everything multiple times. I also ran the "Rebuild" command from the Mailbox menu--just out of desparation, not totally clear about what it does. All to no avail.
Can anyone think of anything else to try before contacting the tech people responsible for the server (who I expect will not be excited about helping an alumnus in another country, running an older Mac, experiencing a very weird problem).

Can no longer send mail from exchange account

My send mail icon is now greyed out and I can no longer send mail. The only thing that I have done that I never do is I selected the "synchronize" option on the mailbox name after right clicking on it last night.
As far as Mail goes, I attempted to set up a MediaCom email box several days ago that never worked correctly, but I changed no settings on the exchange account and it was working great 24 hours ago. I've deleted the MediaCom email box.
Tried the usual quitting, rebooting but nothing is working, any ideas why this started and how to fix.

It is possible the Evil Starbucks empire has blocked SMTP sending as an antispam measure. You would need to log in to your email server using the smtpauth protocol. For example, Earthlink has an smtpauth.earthlink.net server for secure sending, which I was able to use sending from any public AP. Possibly T-Mobile has a similar authorized server.
But nowadays I just use Gmail, they make it easy and reliable to send from anywhere because they use a custom smtp port. Yeah, Gmail solved a multitude of problems with mobile sending.

Can't download mail from the server icloud account

My icloud mail account will not download messages. I'm unable to access my inbox.
The message displayed when I push to download is can not connect to server.

Does your ISP offer a separate account for additional email addresses or are additional email addresses what is called an "alias" account or address to the primary account?
A separate account for an additional email address with the same provider has its own user name.
An "alias" account or email address to a primary account shares the same user name and password as the primary account.
You can created separate accounts in Mail with the same provider which has the same incoming mail server and you can use the same password for both accounts as long as each account has its own user name which is usually the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign and with some providers it is the entire email address.
I have set up the 2 email accounts within Mail, but when
trying to edit and save the "Advanced" preferences for my
2nd email account, I get an error message saying something
to the effect: " [email protected] is already being
used by another account".
This error message indicates the additional email account you created in Mail shares the same user name and password as the primary/existing account which you cannot create as a separate account in Mail.
If so, there is a way to access an alias account or address to a primary account without creating it as a separate account.
If so, do not delete the additional account created yet.

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.

I can no longer send mail from my gmail account on my iPad.

I can send mail from my iPhone just fine so it isn't gmail. I deleted the gmail app and reinstalled it; restarted my iPad; and checked the settings. My wifi is working as is evidenced by the fact that I wrote and posted this from my iPad with no problems. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?
