POP account worked then stopped working

I used Mail to access my Compuserve account POP3-enabled mail account for months. Then it just stopped working. I changed no settings, did not alter the connection method to the internet, zip, nada.
I'm loathe to delete the account and start again because all of the messages will (supposedly) be deleted from my computer.
Any suggestions?

Well, now nothing works.
I have maintained a Compuserve account since 1984. I use the CSERVE software on my PCs and mail2web.com from remote locations (other people's computers). The account is active and works fine using those two methods.
After getting the G5 to do some editing, I setup MAIL to work with my new mac.com account and my existing Compuserve account. Everything hummed along just fine (I set the POP account to leave the messages on the server so i could access them from all my computers) until one day the POP account stopped retreiving the Compuserve address's messages.
That's what started this thread. The MAIL application no longer downloaded messages from CSERVE. Because Compuserve (now a member of the AOL family) stopped allowing the use of their SMTP server for uploaded (sent) messages, I simply used the mac.com account for outbound messages sent from my G5. Therefore, it the CSERVE SMTP server was never a part of this configuration.
In an effort to obtain more info, I logged onto my .Mac Mail page. For some reason, initially I was denied access, so I reset my password. I believed that I used the same password as before. Now MAIL will not access ANY of the accounts. Account Doctor show three failures (mac.com account, compuserve.com account, SMTP access). Earlier this morning only the compuserve account failed. Now all three show red lights.
I can fully access the mac.com mail on the web, however the compuserve account fails (this is from the G5). I can access my compuserve account from my PC, both with their software and via two different browsers. I can access my mac.com account via web2mail.com from both computers. the accounts are active and accessible.
My MAIL app seems to be failing. Makes no sense, but that's where I'm at.

How to fix streaming audio pops/crackles and then stops all sound

I am a google Chrome user. I am unsure if this problem is related to Chrome or to Flash by I suspect there is a problem with both. I previously had this problem where when you start a youtube video for example the audio would pop/crack and then the audio would go dead. If you were able to put the video on full screen before this happened it would work fine. This really only happens with windowed (non-fullscreen videos). Previously I went in to my chrome plugins and disabled chrome's native flash and that fixed the issue. With the most recent update to Chrome this has happened again. This time disabling chrome's flash does not work. On the adobe version site it says that for chrome the version should be 11.5.31.137 but it shows me as using 11.5.502.146. The latter would be the version for firefox. I do not use firefox. Could this be causing my trouble? I have used the official flash uninstaller and restarted my computer and reinstalled but the same thing happened. Thanks.

Thanks for the link. I have tried what they recommend. I currently have two flash files. I have disabled the chrome one and the one that is enabled is C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_5_502_146.dll
However, I ran the chrome://flash and this is what I got:
Flash plugin

I've never looked at this before but it is weird that it is saying that that flash is not used.
Anyone know about the firefox version of flash installing for Chrome because as I described above that doesn't seem right.

Exchange 2013 / Eudora POP-account not working

I have a MAC (version 9) user who has Eudora (6.2.4). User tries to connect to Exchange 2013 server with POP-account but is unable to get this to work.
I tried to search the web for this answer but couldn't.
I would be happy to know if this is even possible to set up before I spend my time and customer's money on this.
I got Eudora 7.1 working with IMAP on my XP Virtual machine, but I have no way of testing it with MAC-computer.
Edit: I also got POP account working on my XP Virtual machine.

Thanks for your reply. I do not know the specific error message as this happens to one of our end-customer and he has not provided detailed information about this.
User can't update Eudora, because he is using older version of MAC.
I would just like to know if it is even possible to connect Eudora 6.2.4 to Microsoft Exchange 2013.

POP Account Problems with Broadband Provider

I am having trouble with accessing my "work" POP account from my home broadband service provider (Charter). These problems started a month ago or so, although ocassionally I can still access this POP account from home. This work POP account works fine when traveling or at work. The POP account I have through Charter and my Mac account work just fine. I am using all the default setting in Mail, which have worked for several years with this POP account.

Is your carrier and server Vodafone?
If so, its an issue on their end that they dont have an ETA on a fix.
If not, sorry, cant help.

Archiving messages in a POP account

[lion mail app]
if i archive messages in a POP account and then after the archive change the account to IMAP, will the new IMAP account upload the archive to the server?
trying to convert an old POP account with 1000's of messages to a more modern IMAP account due to use on multiable devices.
i don't want the archive to be uploaded to the IMAP server, as it would put 1000's of unwanted old emails on my iphone.
in other words lets just say that i only want messages from 2012 to be in the IMAP account and not all the messages from 2005-2011.

Hi,
Yes you can set the message box to pop up with various reasons.
Click onto CUSTOMIZE LOCAL LAYOUT button (Alt+F12)
and choose OPTIONS...
There is a MESSAGES frame, where you can select when you want the popup window.

How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped working.

How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped.

I find it's touchy. Tap anywhere on the note to bring up the keyboard. If you tap and hold, you won't bring up the keyboard. Just tap momentarily.
If you can't get it to work, try restarting your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If it still doesn't work, try resetting your iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices, It attempts to download new email but then stops. Any ideas?

My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices, It attempts to download new email but then stops. Any ideas?

I, too, am having a problem with my Yahoo email account on my first generation IPad. I can't download my emails to my IPad from the server. The IPad looks like it's trying to download them but can't do it. I am able to send emails from my IPad with my Yahoo account.
This problem started yesterday, Aug., 25th, the day after I uploaded the last update from Apple. I am able to set up another email account through Sbcglobal that will download my emails to my IPad but it is not sync'ed with my desktop mail which creates a mess when I move or delete emails.
I've tried deleting my Yahoo account and then adding it back. Also I've reset my IPad and I've done a full restore.
I think it has something to do with the last update, which I believe was a security update, which may have reset the firewall. That's just a guess.
Has anyone figures out anything else?

I have a POP account set up in Mail, has been that way for years. Today it isn't working.

I have a POP email account that's been set up in Mail for years. Today it won't send or retrieve email, continually asks for my password but doesn't keep it. My iCloud email is fine. According to an Apple Support document, "Mail: Troubleshooting sending & receiving email" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276), it appears as if it's a problem with my email provider. I've spoken to the email provider and they say it's not a problem on their end. I can log into my email account using the provider's webmail and all is fine there. And, since I'm still receiving my email on my iPad & iPhone, I'm not entirely convinced it is a problem with the email provider.
When I go into Mail Preferences, my password shows blank (even when I re-enter it) and it shows my Outgoing Mail Server as Offline. When I choose Edit SMTP server list and click on the Advanced tab, my password is missing here as well. Re-entering it doesn't help.
I've tried Take All Accounts Offline then Take All Accounts Online and that doesn't work. I would delete the account and set it up again, but I get a warning message that if I delete the account, I lose everything in the account; folders, email, filters, etc. I can't afford to lose the existing emails.
I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and Mail 6.2; I believe they are both the most recent versions.

I checked the settings with Network Solutions and they are correct. As to archiving, is it possible to turn everything into one big archive or does each folder and subfolder need to be archived individually? I've looked at the documentation and I get the impression that everything is archived separately. Also I couldn't find a mention as to whether it's possible to archive or some how save all of my filters.
I use Time Machine as my general backup. I back up all the Mail files every couple weeks (on a flash drive) but now I've learned, the hard way, that's not often enough.
Thank you.

Premiere Pro CC slows down, then stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit

Premiere Pro CC slows down, then stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit. So I have to force quit every time.
It does not matter if I am working with HD or 4K - same thing happens.
This began happening about a week ago. Nothing really new has changed. I tried to repair permissions and check this from a new admin account because I know that is what Adobe thinks the answer to every problem is. But it did not change anything.

Used this tip from Adobe and it worked, all running quick and smooth again.
Hope it works for you too.

Exchange / ActiveSync - Works for a day or so, then stops

I've had my iPhone 3G since launch and have configured it to work with my Exchange 2003 server utilizing activesync at work. It will connect and sync fine for a day or so, however then it will start giving me a "cannot get mail" "cannot connect to server" error message. The phone has plenty of signal and can reach the net, the exchange box is online and functioning properly. If i delete and recreate the account on the iPhone it starts syncing properly again, however it's only a matter of 24-48 hours before i have to repeat this process...any suggestions?

Same here since beta. I'm an Exchange admin and we've been seeing this since the last 2 beta releases before iPhone OS 2.0. Running Exchange 2003 SP2. We set up ActiveSync from scratch, just for iPhone use. Windows mobile phones work without a hiccup on the same system. Problem happens with either the original iPhones or 3G. And it's totally random for different users. Works fine for a couple days, then stops. The best routine we found to get back up and running is: turn off 3G and wifi. Delete account settings on the iPhone. Re-enter Exchange account info and reboot the phone. This will usually re-sync everything. I'm leaving my phone in this non-3G, non wifi mode, and it seems the most stable. The following things seem to cause it to break for me: opening emails with large attachments, switching to wifi, or just wait long enough and it breaks. Once it's broke, I usually have to do the whole "delete account setting" routine to get it back. I tried reconfiguring our internet-facing front end to use ISA server as is required for Exchange 2007, with delegated kerberos authentication . When ISA server was in place, we had 2 out of 10 iPhones able to function. I had to switch back, because I was getting yelled at We have a line of people at my work asking when this will be fixed. And a bunch of admins running around and trying different settings on their phones. We can't make it an "officially supported" email device until this works.

I used iPhone 4, but my brother gave his iPhone 4S away to me. I can't sync his iphone to my itune. It said 'preparing to sync' then stop working.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book). (25)
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
Contact syncing is nothing to do with iCloud back up, the only settings you should be concerned with on the device are at settings > iCloud page.

Impossible to delete POP accounts from iCloud keychain and SMTP not working

Hello,
After an aborted Mavericks clean install, I reverted to Mountain Lion via Time Machine and started experimenting with iCloud Keychain on Mavericks using trashable Virtual Machines.
I am hitting two serious problems with email accounts :
1. I turned on iCloud keychain ONLY on my Mavericks test installs (not on my iOS device)
2. First time I turned it on and used my usual AppleID, the test install retrieved all my email accounts (I have many of all types)
3. I could not make password SMTPS work on any IMAP accounts, so I decided to delete ALL email accounts from my iCloud Keychain
4. When you ask to delete an email account, it asks if you want to delete it from ALL your accounts, whoch is what I did (make a clean slate)
5. Of all the accounts I have, I have two old disabled POP3 accounts. I deleted them as every other one (including FB, Twitter, LinkedIN, Exchange, ...)
Every time I set up a new test install with iCloud keychain enabled, these two POP accounts continue to show up on the list.
Every time I delete them again from ALL keychains they disappear, but anytime I launch Mail they come back, and if I delete them again, and then I add a new email account they come back.
No way to delete them from ALL keychains
And BTW user/password SMTP on SSL for IMAP accounts does not work for me. It fails all the times on my postfix server.
So, my issues are :
- iCloud keychains seems unstable with email accounts (probably with POP accounts only)
- SMTP over SSL with user/password doesn't seem to work
Anybody hit the issue ? For me is a severe showstopper for Mavericks and iCloud keychains
Best
Luca

Restore it as new. Why wouldn't you do that when purchasing a used device from another individual?
