POP account will not stay online.  Goes offline even after I "take account

My POP account will not stay online, even when I "take" the account "online" via the mailbox drop-down in the menu bar. I don't think the ISP or the internet connection is the problem as I have three other mailboxes with the same ISP and they all work fine.
Why might the POP account be failing to hold its online status and what can O do about it.
Thanks for your help with my problem.

Hi, and a warm welcome to the Forums!
First I'd backup your whole Mail folder.
Try dragging this file to the Desktop first, then logout/in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Can drag back if it doesn't help.
If that doesn't work try the .plists in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
In your home folder, try trashing this folder after quitting Mail...
/Library/Caches/Mail

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT2954 my gmail account will not go online

    I think my gmail was hacked so I changed the password in gmail, and also in my mail on my computer.  It didn't seem to take the change, so I deleted the gmail account and set it up again, but now it will not go online.

    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

  • Printers will not stay online throughout the day in Windows 8.1

    I am a systems administrator at a Law Firm and our managing partners request was to upgrade all of our attorneys to a device that will allow them to have a laptop and a tablet all-in-one.  So I recommended Windows 8 ultrabooks.  We ended up getting
    a mix of HP Elitebook Revolve and Sony Vaio Duo 13 ultrabooks, both with docking stations so that attorneys can continue using there desktop mouse and keyboard and monitors while at work, but can also undock and use there ultrabooks remotely. 
    Everything is working fine except for printing for some reason through out the day printers will go offline for no apparent reason.  We've got a billing program called Equitrac on our machines that will auto bill our clients when we print documents
    for that them, I figured that there was an issue with that so I uninstalled Equitrac and the problem still happened.  Group Policy deploys our printers so I disabled this policy and I've uninstalled the printer drivers and re-installed them to see if
    that works and printers will stay online for a short period of time and then they'll go offline again.  
    For a temporary fix right now I'm having to restart the Print Spooler service and the printers will come back online again.   This works for a few hours and then printers will go offline again.  I witnessed one of the ultrabooks showing the printers
    being online up until the point when the attorney pressed print and then all of them immediately went offline.  This isn't an occurrence on just 1 machine but is happening on probably 50% to 60% of them.
    Our support staff use the same printers on Windows 7 and they never go offline.  Is there something else that I can check on these Windows 8.1 Ultrabooks or is there a bug that still needs to be fixed from Microsoft?

    Hi,
    Based on my search, I found a KB that relate with Printer offline, you can refer to its solution for test.
    This problem occurs if the computer has the following registry value configured when you set the printer to the Offline status:
    Key: HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\<print queue name>
    Value: PrinterOnLine
    Data: 0
    However, this value is not deleted by the Localspl.dll file when the print queue is deleted. Therefore, when you add a print queue that has the same name as the old print queue, the new printer queue inherits the Offline status of the deleted print queue.
    To resolve this issue, right-click the new print queue in the Printers and Faxes tool, and then clear the Use Printer Offline setting. This resets the registry key to the correct value. Alternatively, you can delete the registry key that is mentioned in
    the "Cause" section after you delete a print queue but before you add a new print queue of the same name.
    If problem persists, please refer to the link below about How to Fix “Printer Offline” Error in Windows.

  • Mail accounts will not go online

    My mac mail just quit working out of nowhere. All my email accounts are unable to go online. I have tried several different networks and have checked that my email servers are in fact functionion thru my browser and iphone.
    In my mail connection doctor, for every email account it says "unable to connect, please check your connection ect.."
    this is very frustrating

    tried replacing the .plisk file, which allows my mail to work for about 15 seconds then goes offline again.
    When I restart mail my accounts go online for about 5 seconds, then offline again.

  • EA6500 WGA600N will not stay online

    OK,
    So I asked this question before but now I am trying to determine if I have a bad adapter.
    I configured the adapter to access one of my networks on the EA6500 with WPA protection, etc.
    When I start the adapter I show the connection online at .250, green led light is flashing indicatiion connection.
    However, the connection goes offline in a few minutes.  The LED light is still flashing but the WGA600N is no longer on line.
    Comments?

    Try What wireless modes are you using?
    Test single mode G then N, then test mixed G and N?
    Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz then try 20Mhz only.
    Try setting a manual Channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions. Try channel 48 or 149 on 5Ghz.

    What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. Test by setting WPA2 or WPA Only. Test with WPA security disabled and see how long the adapter stays connected? 
    Ensure any devices with WiFi adapter drivers are updated.
    Any 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz cordless house phones or WiFi APs near by?
    Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use http://www.metageek.net/support/metageek-software-archives/ to find out. Use v3. How many? 
    Does the adapter do the same thing in a different PC?

  • HELP!!!! HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n - will not stay online

    I have 2 desk tops a net book and a lap top connected to it and all test printed fine and then after a period of time the printer goes off line and then it will not work.  I can restart the printer and it still will not work.  The router does not even "see it" although it can ping it...???  I have reinstalled software and restored factory settings... I tried saving the IP that did not help.  It is brand new and I checked and it has the most recent firmware updates.  I have run network test reports and all is fine.  I tried an HP print diagnostic and it can't see the printer.  I got it to work temporarily after completing a router reboot, but now that is not working either.  I just bought this today and I have spent the last 5 hours researching and troubleshooting.  I am not overly tech savvy and I have exhausted my knowledge base and the info suggested on blogs and fix it sites. 
    I was replacing my hp all in one wired printer that the print head just went out on after only a little over a year.  I don't know if I need to return this printer or if there is a magic fix??? Please help! 

    You can refer to the link below for the paper sizes and types supported by this printer here:

    Never accept or download a software up date that is not from an authorized Apple site. You don't know if any one tampered with the software if you d/l from another source such as a dropbox account.

  • Firefox will not load to the web, even after 2nd download.

    I have used firefox as a web browser because our school page works best with it. I have used firefox for over three months. This weekend firefox will not load. The screen message says unable to load web page, try again button is displayed, all to no avail.

    I have XP Pro. I tried installing 3.6.15 and could not open it. I did a system restore and 3.6.14 would no longer open. I tried again installing 3.6.15 and got a message that the previous version had not uninstalled properly. Tried uninstalling.
    As a precaution I used MozBackup to save my bookmarks etc. and also saved a system restore point.
    I then clicked Start, My Computer, drive C, Program Files and deleted the Firefox folder.
    I installed 3.6.15 and it is now working fine with all my bookmarks and addons loaded automatically.

    Which printer do you have specifically? HP makes several eprinters and I want to make sure I get the best information for you that I can.
    Also, have you tried doing a self test print to see if the issue is hardware related versus being software related?

  • After updating to Firefox 3.6.15, Firefox will not connect to the Internet, even after uninstalling and re-installing Firefox in my Windows XP environment.

    After downloading the Firefox 3.6.15 update, my problems began. Firefox would not connect to the Internet. When I rebooted my PC, Firefox said that it couldn't access any Web sites. I uninstalled Firefox, then downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15. I still have the same problem: Firefox will not connect to the Internet. I am running Windows XP, service pack 3. I never had problems with Firefox until I installed version 3.6.15.

    I have XP Pro. I tried installing 3.6.15 and could not open it. I did a system restore and 3.6.14 would no longer open. I tried again installing 3.6.15 and got a message that the previous version had not uninstalled properly. Tried uninstalling.
