POP and IMAP aren't starting?

I used the "Configure Mail Service" option, setup both POP and IMAP access for a couple of my users in the Workgroup Manager, and the Mail Service status is "Running" (also running are Outgoing/Incoming SMTP, Junk Mail Filtering, and Virus Scanning), but POP and IMAP always show as "Stopped" in Server Admin. I don't know if this matters, but when I go to Maintenance/Database it shows "Database location" to be "Not available."
Also, Maintenance/Accounts shows "Number of accounts" as 0, even though I have two users in Workgroup Manager setup for both POP and IMAP?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Regarding logs...
IMAP and POP are empty.
Mail Access shows "empty option value on line 10 of configuration file" page after page, nothing else.
The last line of the SMTP log shows "daemon started -- version 2.4.3, configuration /etc/postfix."
Is there somewhere else I should also look for troubleshooting information?
Thanks!

Need to stop the pop and Imap receive connectors to be able to start the pop and Imap services in Service Manager

Hello All,
I am hoping that someone else has run across this issue (may have started after CU5 was installed).
Upon every reboot I have found that the "Microsoft Exchange IMAP4" and "Microsoft Exchange POP3" services in the service manager will not start... basic reason in the event viewer is that the ports are already in use.
If I go into the ECP and disable my POP and Imap receive connectors I am able to then start the services.
After the services are started I can then go back to ECP and enable the receive connectors again and everything is fine .
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks in advance ;)
Chris

Hello Winnie,
I bounced the Transport service tonight (adjusting spam filter levels)... so I was able to issue a stop and re-start of the IMAP4 and POP3 services in the service manager.
I stopped both the IMAP4 and POP3 services in service manager.
I issued the start of the services with PowerShell as requested:
PS C:\Users\administrator.XXXXXXXX> Start-service MSExchangePOP3
WARNING: Waiting for service 'Microsoft Exchange POP3 (MSExchangePOP3)' to start...
WARNING: Waiting for service 'Microsoft Exchange POP3 (MSExchangePOP3)' to start...
WARNING: Waiting for service 'Microsoft Exchange POP3 (MSExchangePOP3)' to start...
Start-service : Failed to start service 'Microsoft Exchange POP3 (MSExchangePOP3)'.
At line:1 char:1

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:ServiceController) [Start-Service],
   ServiceCommandException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : StartServiceFailed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartServiceCommand
Then I first stopped the receive connector in ECP and issued the command:
PS C:\Users\administrator.XXXXXXXX> Start-service MSExchangePOP3
WARNING: Waiting for service 'Microsoft Exchange POP3 (MSExchangePOP3)' to start...
WARNING: Waiting for service 'Microsoft Exchange POP3 (MSExchangePOP3
With the receive connector disabled in ECP it was successfully started.... then I enabled the receive connector in ECP and all is fine now
repeated the same with IMAP4
to recap....
If I stop the IMAP4 and/or POP3 service in service manager, I must first disable the IMAP and/or POP receive connector in the ECP, then start the service in service manage.. and then finally go into ECP and enable the receive connector.
Thanks,
Chris

Mail 3.2, Gmail and iPhone POP and IMAP Problems

This is a Mail problem but I am pretty sure it has something to do with the iphone as well....
Here's the deal:
Up until a week ago I used this setup:
1. My gmail account has had pop and imap enabled for all mail and it kept the email on the server
2. My mail client on my MBP C2duo on Leopard 10.5.2 was setup to retrieve email from gmail using pop
3. My 1.1.1 iPhone was setup to retrieve email from gmail using pop as well
4. Gmail account was being also synchronised between MBP and iphone through the appropriate tab in itunes.
RESULT: mail would pop to both clients as new mail and I would have to mark it as read in each client. I like that cause there are certain messages I read on my MBP and some others on my iphone.
About a week ago I upgraded my iphone to 1.1.3 and that's when the problems started:
a) It appears that the iphone is now setup to gmail's IMAP by default. So I delete the account and create one manually to work as pop
1. So now I have an iphone setup to retrieve with pop.
2. My MAil client on the MBP is still set to pop
3. Gmail settings remain untouched
PROBLEM: Everything is setup as pop but acts as IMAP ?!!?!
Whichever client gets an email message first that message will not appear on the other client.
Basically if my iphone catches an emai while my MBP is asleep i'll never get it in my inbox on the MBP and vice versa
Please help me out... It's the first time an Apple product makes me feel like a good ol windows user again
FAILED SOLUTIONS:
1. I tried deleting the iphone account and creating it from scratch making sure it's setup correctly
2. I tried disabling IMAP from gmail's settings
3. I tried disabling and re-enabling pop from gmail's settings
4. I tried using gmail's recent mode that forces a download of all recent (30 days) mail
5. I have repaired permissions, rebooted etc etc
Nothing changed
I have now deleted the gmail account from the MBP, re-created it and await while it re-downloads al 6000 messages before I try re-creating the account on the iphone but sth tells me it wont change anything.
Sorry for the extreme length of this post. Any help would be appreciated

But I'm not using IMAP. I never used IMAP and I do not want to use IMAP. The reason being that I know all about the problems you speak of.
I just can't get POP working as it did before the 1.1.3 update. It's really frustrating

POP3 and IMAP daemons not starting?

Ahoy, my mail server's been running fine for months now, but this morning it wasn't working.
On closer inspection, Server Admin says that POP and IMAP are disabled. In the settings they are definatly enabled.
I tried restarting the server, and I also updated to 10.4.8, but still nothing.
Does anyone know how I can get an error log or something that might tell me why they're not starting?
thanks!

Fixed it.
Apologies for the false alarm. I looked at the logs and config and thought 'This looks messy. I need to look cool in front of these guys, I should clear this up.'
So I restored the default main.cf file and reconfigured my mail server from scratch, and now it's working...
Thanks anyway!

OS X 10.5 Server POP and IMAP mail settings

I am trying to get mail service to run on OSX 10.5 Server installed on a G4 machine.
Using Server Admin, under Mail>Settings it asks for Domain name (local Internet domain name) and Host name (Internet host name of this mail system).
I am unsure exactly what they want.
To me, Domain name would be tradersbend.com (registered for years).
Host name would be the name of the machine - taovaya.
However, I've tried this and many other combinations with no joy.
When restarting mail, POP and IMAP say they are starting up, but eventually return to "stopped" state. Everything else in the Mail Overview tab starts up and says "running" as it should. (I do have Mailing Lists stopped; and Mail Clustering Off)
Any wisdom I might use?

Alex -
Thank you. I now have POP and IMAP running fine.
But Outgoing SMTP and Incoming SMTP are acting strangely. SMTP is enabled. Allow incoming mail is checked. Hold outgoing mail is unchecked. Relay outgoing mail through host is checked and should relay through (my poncacity.net username)@mail.poncacity.net. Password for poncacity.net account is entered. All is saved.
I stop Mail Service. Open General tab. Start Mail Service. Everything that is supposed to run starts up and says "Running". Then somewhere along the line for no reason Outgoing SMTP and Incoming SMTP changes to "Stopped".
While both were "Stopped" I sent a test msg to another email address at a different ISP. It arrived successfully and the raw headers show it did go through the outgoing SMTP relay at mail.poncacity.net.
I also sent a test msg from my other email address to this one. So far, it hasn't arrived.
Next, I sent a test msg from this tradersbend.com to this tradersbend.com address. So far, it hasn't arrived either.
So I conclude that even if Outgoing SMTP says it is "Stopped" it sends outgoing msgs through the poncacity.net relay, but Incoming SMTP is not working properly.
I also notice that the state (Running or Stopped) on both incoming and outgoing SMTP seems to arbitrairly flip-flop from one state to the other for some reason.
Thanks for any help or insight you may provide.

Pop and Imap remain stopped, what is going on?

I can not figure out what is going on. Both POP and IMAP are "stopped" and I have been trying like crazy to figure out why I can not get them to start. After countless hours of searching the net and the forums I have decided to post a new thread asking for help.
I have set up the mail service in os x server (10.5.5) in the past with no problems. I just can not figure out what is going on this time though. Please help.

One mroe thing, I read in another topic where someone was having similar issues and another user had asked if the database and mail store locations existed. I noticed that mine did not. I had to create the folders /var/imap/ and /var/spool/imap/. I then pulled up server admin and selected those locations under database and mail store, prior to that there was nothing listed in database and mail store. I dont know if this has anything to do with my main issue but I thought I should throw this in as well.

One last thing, I just added my account into mail.app to see if I could send and receive email there. IT WORKED! I successfully set myself an email. So, I know it is working now. But I just need to figure out why squirrelmail is being stupid.
Thanks!

POP and IMAP side by side in Mail

Hi, is it ok to run POP and IMAP accounts side by side in Mail? I’m using POP but I want to switch to IMAP and set up a first IMAP account...

Yes, POP with one domain and two or three IMAP accounts with two other domains. Just wanted to know if POP and IMAP together is stable or if there are any recommendations when running them alongside each other.

Both Pop AND IMAP Gmail accounts in Mail?

OK this is bugging me. Suddenly I noticed several email duplicates from my only Gmail account, that I check on my Mac in Mail. When checking accounts in Preferences, I see now TWO Gmail accounts enabled, one POP, another IMAP. I can't remember which one is the older one that I've been using for years. I guess it's the IMAP account, since I've been keeping copies of my emails in my Mac and my Gmail "all mail" folder online.
I think it happened when Safari 5.1 asked to syncronize and/or use "x" automatically with iChat, Mail, Calendar, etc., and added the POP. My question is, which one of those accounts is safe to delete or disable in Mail? Can it be done just like that? In the Gmail settings I see both POP and IMAP are enabled. Should I just disable POP and voilá?
Thanks.

As you may have learnt by now POP downloads the mail to your computer and depending on your settings may also delete from server. So the mail on your computer is the only copy you have. IMAP accounts can be deleted and added later but POP are not that simple.
I suggest turn off POP, use IMAP, continue using IMAP for a while and then delete POP.
There are excellent guides in the discussions here, just search for 'switching from POP to IMAP'

10.8 client and 10.6 server email pop and imap problem

Hi Guys ,
My problem is 10.8 client and 10.6 server.
10.6 server have email server running (pop and imap), when i configure same email account (pop) on 10.7 machine and 10.8 machines , 10.7 machine works , but 10.8 pop does not working
let me explaing further :
when i use 10.8 mail application to setup pop mail account it does not connecting . But i used the same account to connect imap it connect on 10.8 machine.
the same mail account connect to another 10.7 machine with POP and IMAP for testing reason , it works with out any issues
POP server is running and this email account's users profile enable POP and IMAP mail settings.
thanks in advance.

Try checking the Authentication Type for the POP account. It is located in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > selected account > Advanced
10.8 tends to use Apple Token. I think you will need to use a type of MD5 Challenge-Response or Password.

POP3 and IMAP Won't Start - Dovecot error 89

I have been struggling with what should be a simple problem all day: turning the mail server on!
This is a clean out of the box start. I bought a new Mac Mini with Mountain Lion Server.
POP3 and IMAP services will not start and Dovecot repeatedly reports the following (no more detail anywhere that I can find):
Nov 7 16:59:24 artemiscom com.apple.launchd[1] (org.dovecot.dovecotd[1151]): Exited with code: 89
Nov 7 16:59:24 artemiscom com.apple.launchd[1] (org.dovecot.dovecotd): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

If I restart the mail server POP3 and IMAP staus goes to STARTING and then to STOPPED.
I've managed to get Dovecot working on a Centos server but the generally simple configuration on the Mac has me dumbfounded.
Any help is appreciated whilst I still retain my sanity.
Thanks

OK. I managed to solve this problem.
When the mail server is first initialised SSL certification for dovecot is set to on but the certificates are all commented out in the configuration file.
To determine this is the problem, turn the mail server off then at the command line start the server by entering the following command:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/doveconf -f service=master -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf -m master -p -e
This is the output I received:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/dovecotd -F
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ssl enabled, but ssl_cert not set
Edit the file /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf:
sudo vi /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf
You can do one of two things:
1) Edit the line #ssl = yes to:
ssl = no
2) Uncomment the ssl_cert, ssl_key and ssl_ca lines
Now restart the mail server and check the logs for dovecot error 89 (shouldn't be there) and/or at ther command line enter the command:
sudo serveradmin fullstatus mail
This will display the mail server status which should be something like this (note pop3 and imap now running):
mail:setStateVersion = 1
mail:readWriteSettingsVersion = 1
mail:connectionCount = 0
mail:servicePortsRestrictionInfo = _empty_array

Gmail app - POP and IMAP together

I'm having a heck of a time getting my emial to work like my blackberry did. I want to make this work.
Does anyone know if I can configure my laptop Outlook to pull my gmail app mail using POP AND my phone to use IMAP??
I don't like the IMAP performance in Outlook.
Thanks for any suggestions you have!

Whilst you can use IMAP for one mail client and POP for another, it won't give you very satisfactory results...Whilst you can choose to have the POP client leave the mail on the server, it will then show up as new when picked up by another client (or even the same one again) rather than as having already been read.
Gmail POP behaves differently than other POP mail servers. In my case, I have it configured such that downloading the mail with the POP client moves the mail from the Inbox to All Mail. For me, since I usually access mail via my iPhone, it allows me to leave things 'to be dealt with' in my Inbox on the phone, then when I access them on my Mac to 'deal with' them, they are moved out of my Inbox automatically.
For me, this is a highly satisfactory workflow.
But in general, you're correct - and I certainly wouldn't consider accessing my Gmail account from more than one POP mail client.

Whats the difference betwwen Pop and Imap?

What is the difference between a POP and an IMAP email account, are there benefits of using one rather than the other?

Hi
POP means mail is downloaded from the Mail Server to your mac and is stored locally. Downside to this is if your hard drive was to fail and you have not kept up-to-date backups or have not bothered to back up at all you lose all your mail. If this does not bother you then there is no down side.
IMAP means mail is not downloaded from the Mail Server and everything is stored on the Mail Server itself. Generally speaking most mail servers have redundancy built in are administered by a dedicated IT team and if you were to lose any mail odds are it would be recoverable. Other benefits are you should be able to access your mail (send & receive) from pretty much anywhere you like. All you need is 3 bits of information and access to a computer (any platform) that has access to the internet and a web browser.
I've kept this as simple as possible but that's about it in a nutshell.

Using Mail with both pop and imap accounts

I have a Q to better understand how the Mail app. works in Lion so there is better coordination among my devices and mail = I'd like to lay out how it is now set up and see whether or not I'm right about how to handle them - and how to do things better.
1. I have a .mac account and no problems with it = if I read and delete on iPhone it deletes off iPad and computer fine.
2. I have an email account that is an IMAP account but at another host [I use Mail to get email from it] - so what I think happens is that it's sort of the same thing but operating on that other host as an IMAP so that the same thing happens more or less - email comes in on all 3 devices and when I delete from one it deletes from others = but maybe not as fast because it's going thru the Mail intermediary. My need/wish is to use one email program [Mail] to get all my mail and that's why this and others all go thru Mail.
3. I have a 3rd account that is a POP account and can't be made IMAP because of the nature of the plan/host - in that I've noticed that I'll have 100 messages on my main computer and delete 75 of them but the 100 are still left on the iPhone and iPad = so far I don't do much about it but I hope/assume I'm right to think that if I know I've read and dealt with the 100 messages that if I want to I can just delete them all quickly off the iPhone or iPad...I'm not sure how to handle a Pop account to minimize all the hassle.
Does this seem like the right way to go or is there a better way to manage these 3 diff. accounts ??? I noticed some of the problem when I checked Mail on my iPad and saw there were loads of old emails 'unread' on it that I had dealt with on my computer so I knew things were out of whack.
Last thought = I do go to Synchronize all Accounts from time to time but really don't notice it makes a difference but maybe I don't understand tht either.
thanks much

Okay, it just fixed itself without me doing anything, or even quitting the program again. It still seems like a bug.

Mail Won't Display Both POP and IMAP Accounts in Inbox

When I set up Leopard Mail I had my two accounts gmail and Comcast set up as POP3 as gmail hadn't enabled imap on my account yet. With imap now enabled I went and switched my gmail account over to imap from pop. The gmail account seems to work fine, but my pop account essentially disappears. Pop3 emails (comcast account) don't appear in the Inbox. However, I can search for them and then they can be found. When I removed the imap account, the pop3 emails appeared back in the inbox exactly how they should be. When I remade the imap account they disappeared again.
I can't see what I am doing wrong, so this looks like a bug. Opinions?

Hi
If site plan is web basic then email service would not be included , either you would need to upgrade the site else use external email service.
Using creative cloud subscription sites published will be in web basic site plan,
For upgrading : http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3161
For External Email : http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/setup-pop-imap-email-accounts.html#main_How_to_create_ an_external_MX_record
If this is not the case then you can access email accounts section , site settings > email accounts
Thanks,
