POP Email issues

I'm interested in seeing if anyone out there has had this issue, and what they might have done to fix it. I am using my MacBook (2.16 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 1 GB ram, OS X 10.5.4) at my office, where we are on an Embarq DSL line. Our office email is a POP account that runs through an outside server, such that Embarq isn't our smtp server. Basically, outgoing mail goes from here to the "infotogo.net" server, where they route it to wherever it needs to go (and that's a requirement, as our listServe has to run through them). I have been using Mac's Mail app., up until I had to give up this week and downloaded Thunderbird.
On to the problem... I have no issues with my .mac mail, aside from the MobileMe fun most of us have been having for a few weeks now. Mail sends and receives from .mac without issue, no matter where i am. My POP mail, however, and this seems to only happen when I'm attached (Ethernet cable) to our office network, can receive mail without issue, and sometimes will be able to send mail.
Basically, I can send one or two-sentence emails from the POP account, and once in a while, attachments or large text emails will go through. Most of the time, though, I can't send anything of any size. I'm not talking 2GB files, I'm talking two page PDFs and Word docs. I hit send, it starts sending, and either gets to 18% or about 85% and then you can watch the "Kb/Sec" number go from 120 or so to 64, to 44, to 4, to 0. and then it just sits there. Eventually, it will pop the message back up and ask me to pick another server. What's strange is, if i run the connection doctor in Mail, it says everything is fine.
Here's what I've tried: uninstalled and reinstalled the account at least 4 times; created another user for the machine, set up the account on that user, it worked ok, switched back to my normal user account, it worked fine for about 30 mins, then nothing again; talked with the ISP guys, they say the messages are getting to their server and almost instantly timing out, and my colleagues are able to send whatever they want, so it isn't the server; spoken to the Mac help folks twice, and they can't figure it out; the ports have been changed, they've been changed back; all of the settings for the account are correct.
Here's the kicker, though. Entourage and Thunderbird work perfectly fine. I've been using Thunderbird for two days, and haven't had an issue yet. I'm even testing it by sending big photos through as tests, and they are going through. This has to be a Mail problem... Any thoughts?

Thanks Tags but that precentral artical is a load of crap!  I've been a System engineer since 1993. I've setup countless email solutions for fortune 500 companies over the years, both pop & imap, and I've never heard of such a lousy excuse from a vendor.
POP was working as it should prior to the 1.3 update - end of story!  imap-lite? Give me a break!  Put it back the way it was so everyone is happy again.
I would prefer to use IMAP but as I had already explained, IMAP hasn't worked properly on my Pre (with Netaddress.com) since I got it. Deleted emails remain in the server's inbox until I go onto the server and manually delete them or use POP!
It seems that the 1.3.5 did nothing more than create new issues by the way...  now none of my Google calander events, prior to August 2009 appear on my Pre anymore.  Furthermore, every event after March 15th is off by an hour even though it'scorrect on Google's website.  Also some off my Apps no longer work (ex. m:Mafia).  WTF?!

  • HELP! I'm having major POP email issues

    I’m having strange issues with email. My gmail is working perfect. But my 2 POP email accounts are giving me fits! When I first set them up pre 1.1.3 the worked perfect too. Now no matter what I put in the outgoing or incoming info parts the emails will not send or receive. I’ve deleted them and re entered them, I’ve had SSL on and off, I’ve changed the ports to what my Entourage has listed for these accounts. I’ve even had nothing in the outgoing and nothing! I just don’t understand how they could work one minute and not the next.

    One thing to try is to delete the email accounts that you are having trouble with.
    Now, go to settings>general>reset and reset network settings.
    Once the iphone restarts, try adding the email accounts back to the iphone.
    One thing about resettings network settings is that any wifi networks that you have set up in the iphone, you will need to re-join and add the passwords back in.
    Hope this helps.

  • POP email issues with folders - 1.3.5 applied

    My email is configured for POP since IMAP on the Pre doesn't properly delete messages from my server's inbox due to a problem with Palms code (according to my ISP).
    My issue is that all messages stored in any folder on my server (other than messages in the sent, drafts or outbox folders) show up in my Pre's INBOX.  In other words, if I move a message from my inbox to a folder labled "work" using my ISP's HTML client, the message will remain in my Pre's inbox.  Similarly, if I move a message from the trash folder to a folder labled "blogs", it will appear in the Pre's Inbox.

  • A different pop email issue

    I have an issue with a pop account that I can get one e-mail off the server, but only one at a time. I have to delete the message I have in order to get the next one.
    The account settings appear to be right, I have used them for years on my treo's with no problems.This is my primary account so this is a huge issue.
    Any suggestions?

  • Email Pop-UP message "Email issue detected"

    Over the last week I continually receive a pop-up message with  "Email issue detected" and the options of "Fix" or "Ignore"
    When I selct FIX it sends a test message to my Outlook 2003. A new pop-up then appears with no fault found. However it does refer to my current email address and also an old email address which I have not used in 5-6 years.
    How do I stop this and get rid of old address?

    Sounds like a bit of Malware to me.

  • Issues with pop email

    I have an iphone 4s.  I have a pop email for work.  I did the update and now everytime i delete emails they come back when i go back in. Emails from a month ago are coming back  Is anyone else having this issue?

    I'd try two things:
    1) Log into work PC and mark all the emails as read
    2) Remove and re-add the email account.
    As far as I recall, POP accounts "pops" the emails to your device, however, when you open it on your device it doesn't open on the actual server.  Somehow the device keeps thinking you have new emails, hence why it keeps reloading the emails.

  • IPhone 6/iOS 8 email issues with wifi connection

    Hi
    I have just upgraded from an iPhone 4 (iOS 7) to an iPhone 6 (iOS 8) and am having an issue with my pop email account. I used my iPhone 4 backup to set up new iPhone, so all the settings were as they were in my old phone. I have two email accounts, one is an IMAP account and the other is a POP account (which is my main email), I have no problems connecting to the server and downloading emails when connected via 4G (its super fast), but when I am connected via wifi, the POP account takes ages to connect to the server and check for emails (stuck on checking for email). I can speed up the process by closing mail app completely and reopening, then it checks and downloads really quickly (IMAP account has no problems), but this is frankly a pain.
    I have spent ages on the phone with Apple support, who have got me to delete my POP email account twice, reset network settings, reset the phone using on/off button and home button, all to no avail. They are intent on telling me it's my email service providers fault, but as I pointed out there is no issue on 4G and my old iPhone (using iOS 7) on wifi has no issues, so can't be email provider. I have also tried using Apple's wifi in store to rule out router issue and the problem happened there too.
    Have now run out of suggestions and options. I'm not sure if it's the phone itself, either a hardware or software issue (Apple support think not). Someone told me that it could be the wifi on my phone blocking the connection to the server. I have an appointment booked at the genius brand they have suggested wiping the phone and setting up as a new phone to see if the problem occurs, but this seems a bit drastic and I would lose all messages etc. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have solved the issue! I tried my pop account on other devices with iOS 8 and the same thing happened, so I deduced that the issue is a glitch in iOS 8 with wifi and pop accounts. I managed to get hold of the IMAP settings for my email provider and all seems to be well. Happy days!

  • SharePoint Online and POP email

    I have a client who is interested in using SharePoint Online, but they are using pop email hosted by Rackspace. Can someone tell me if this will cause any issues with SharePoint, is there any limitation in SharePoint functionality when doing this? Would
    email enable workflows still work with POP accounts.  Also are there any issues with SSO and Federation with AD using SharePoint Online?
    Thank you for the help.
    Thanks in advance for your time. Steven

    Hi,
    The email address for users when used in a workflow is the email address set in SharePoint Admins User Profiles in Office 365. The field is called Work Email. This is automatically populated with the primary SMTP address of the user and mail is sent to it
    if licensed for Exchange Online. Depending on the workflow, you should be able to send mail to external users, because the workflow when triggered will fall dependant on the permission of the user initiating the workflow.
    No, there are no real issues with SSO (ADFS 2) or DirSync and SP Online... Just be sure to be mindful of deleting and recreating users, or stopping and starting sync because you could run into permissions issues within Sharepoint Online due to user guid
    conflicts.

  • POP Email on WP8 (Lumia 920) - Error Code 80004005

    Hello Astra 2025,
    Sorry to contact you on a differnet issue.
    I have had problems with my POP e-mail on my Lumia since i got it so cant receive my woork e-mails.
    Can you please point me towards a discussion that references this or do you have some background knowledge as I have hit a dead end with Nokia....
    please read the following thread:-
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/​wp8-wpemail/pop-email-on-wp8-lumia-920-error-code-​...

    I do not know how to set up an IMAP account in my shared hosting account with Plesk, which provides POP3/SMTP access to emails.
    I am a Microsoft Partner, develop Microsoft based solutions, and genuinely like the Microosft platform.  Still, after about 6 months and many hundreds of dollars later, I find myself running out of patience.  How long should I be patient for a solution, when Nokia/Microsoft/T-Mobile will not give me a solution or be part of the process.
    Microsoft Partner Support, as mentioned, told me this morning in response to a follow-up from yesterday that there is nothing else that they can do and that the situation is out of their hands.  If it is out of their hands and they do not want to do anything about it, then what about me?
    Should I bite the bullet, return the phone, and sadly jump onto the Samsung Galaxy S4 Android bandwagon?  If I do that, I will feel cheated, as I really would like to use Windows.  I kind of like the Windows Phone 8 interface.  How long should I be patient?
    Email is a big issue.  I am sure that there are other issues too, just I am not aware of it left.
    By the way, I never received an Portino update.  The last update was the one that Microsoft gave back in November, which caused the problem in the first place.
    Thanks for your comment.  :-) It is nice to know that I am not alone I am not alone in suffering with this problem.
    I really am thinking that this 80004005 error is a deal breaker, which is so sad.
    By the way, Nokia cannot do anything.  Microsoft owns the OS and it is up to the carrier, T-Mobile USA in my case, to do something about the problem.  Microsoft posts major updates, which causes breaks and annoyances. T-Mobile is resonsible for minor updates and fixes.  T-Mobile, as you can tell by visiting t-mobile.com (as of 5/2/2013) is no longer interested in the Windows platform (okay Catwalk announced, but that has the same problem.  Catwalk is a Lumia 922 or so, as I understand things).  T-Mobile will not post an update.  They never have, so why start now?

  • POP email downloading already deleted emails on iPad 1

    On my iPad 1, I will look at and erase email in my Verizon email account, but emails I have erased will often be re-downloaded again, sometimes almost immediately. It is very annoying. Sometimes it will re-download emails from days before. Does anyone else have this issue with a Verizon email account or any POP email account in Mail on the iPad? Is there some way to fix it?
    I have my settings for this account to delete from server when removed from inbox.

    Thanks for the response. However, the problem isn't that I get the same emails on multiple devices, that's something I am used to with my Verizon email account. Rather, the problem is that I am getting the same emails on the same device, specifically my iPad and iPhone 4S, emails that I have already viewed and then deleted on that device.
    So, I will receive an email A, it shows up as a new email on my iPad with the blue dot next to it.  I will view that email A, thereby making the the little blue dot disappear, and then I will delete email A from my iPad. Then, next time I open Mail on the iPad, it will connect and download the very same email A, marking it once again as new with the blue dot. Rinse repeat. Sometimes, it will redownload these emails even without me closing Mail and reopening Mail; it will just redownload them right after I've deleted them in the same session. Sometimes it will redownload emails from days ago that I deleted off that devices days ago.
    This never happens on my MacBook version of Mail, only my iOS devices, and it's very annoying, as you may imagine, because most of these are pointless adds and filler and I like to keep a relatively small limit of emails per account on these iOS devices.

  • Making POP email not authenticate outbound

    I'm trying to get my iPhone to work with my company's POP email server. I can get email fine; can't send. When I try to send I get this error:
    'Cannot Send Mail
    The SMTP server 'mymailservername.com' doesn't support authentication. Please check your account settings and try again.'
    When I set up the account, under Advanced, iPhone defaults to Authenicating by Password, which is the third option in the list below:
    MD5 Challenge-Response,
    NTLM, and
    Password (checked)
    I looked at the email setup for the same account on my Treo 650 and the box re authenticating for (Incoming) Use Authentication (APOP) is unchecked, as is the (Outgoing) Use Authentication (ESMTP).
    I've tried to set Advanced>Authentication to both of the other options, but when I do I get the same error but when I go look at the settings, it has Password selected, not either of the other two options I tried changing it to...
    Any ideas on how to make this work???
    Thanks

    Don't think the company POP server is the issue; it works fine with my Treo... I also can check mail via a browser-based webmail URL.
    Re EDGE or WiFi, I think it depends on whether there is Wifi where I am, and also (based on posts I've seen) whether iPhone 'tries' EDGE or WiFi first (the posts I'm referring to say that iPhone uses EDGE sometimes even when there is an available WiFi connection, which makes no sense since WiFi is much faster. I've been at home a number of times where I have WiFi that iPhone is set up to use and I've seen it connecting and running very slow via EDGE--makes no sense but it seems to happen to others too).
    Will the cwcx.com approach just work via EDGE? Seems like we'd all really prefer to use WiFi when available assuming the issue above gets worked out. That's the only reason I'm hesitant to use this approach...
    My treo has port 25 for the Outgoing mail server--is that a standard port? I just tried putting ':25' at the end of the Outbound server address and that didn't fix anything...
    Thanks

  • Adobe Pop-up Issues

    Hi! Ever since I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1 from Adobe's main site a month ago, I've been invariably getting a pop-up window from "Problem Reports and Solutions" every time I tried closing the application. Otherwise, all was fine and I didn't experience any hanging or other abnormal behaviour of Adobe Reader. I've attached a screenshot of my issue as diagnosed by "Problem Reports and Solutions" and I hope it will help you in resolving my problem. Thanks.

    hi! I'm running Adobe Reader on a Windows Vista Home Premium OS with SP2 installed. The antivirus software that I'm using is BitDefender Total Security 2009 and all security patches are up-to-date. There have been no annoying pop-ups that I experienced all along as my browser settings is set to block most automatic pop-ups. And the issue I'm experiencing had already been present right from the time I installed Adobe Reader, so it had never worked to begin with. By the way, did you have problems reading the details of the error log that I sent you as an attachment? And how do I paste logs that may be related to the error? Thanks.

    Hello, Yuna:
    I can't yet see the image you attached because it is still queued on Adobe's server but if you could tell us a little more about your system and possibly provide an error log, that would be a great way to help us work towards a solution to your issue. First, what operating system does your computer use? Service packs? Anti-virus and anti-spyware versions? Are all security patches up to date? Are you getting annoying popups when surfing the Web? Has anything been installed since it worked last?
    To view event logs:
    1. Right-click My Computer inthe Start menu
    2. Click Manage
    3. Expand the Event Viewer menu on the left
    4. Click Application
    Look for any error that is time-stamped around the time you last reproduced the error. Paste anything from the logs you feel may (or may not) be related.
    Thanks,

  • POP Email Account Not working after update to 1.1.1

    After I updated to 1.1.1, I noticed my email wasn't working quite right, so I did a complete restore, and in the process of setting everything back up, I can not get my personal pop email account to work. After creating a new account with the "Other" option, I enter all the correct information, and when I hit "save", I get this message: Secure Connection Failed, Certificate for "Personal" may be invalid.
    It then gives me the option to Cancel or Continue, but hitting continue just hangs. Any thoughts? It was working properly before the update, and my desktop client is still connecting and receiving emails, so nothing has changed on my ISP's end.
    Thanks,
    Kenton

    Given that other posts mention two prompts: first that "certificate may be invalid" and second "would you like to connect without SSL?" (paraphrase), I decided to hit "continue" on the first dialog and see what happened in my case. After doing so, I was NOT prompted a second time, so it would SEEM that my SSL connection completed normally after all. For others in this circumstance who require/demand SSL, you may want to try continue on the first prompt to see if it just works.
    By all appearances, I still have a secure pipe to my email. It's a shame that this prompt and the results of "continue" aren't better at indicating what the actual issue is.
    Note that in my case, I'm probably prompted about the certificate because I don't have a globally-signed SSL cert. I am just using one that I created myself and imported into the Mac OS X keychain. This cert was sync'd beautifully (thank you Apple!) to my phone originally, and appears to still be working. A check of the mail prefs on the iphone still show both inbound/outbound mail to have SSL "on" so it doesn't appear to have been disabled by 1.1.1 or by my pressing "Continue".
    I believe that this 1.1.1 update was a deep enough update of the OS that it is merely warning me again (in an unfortunately cryptic way) that the certificate is not signed by global cert authorities. I think it did the same thing when I first set up the iPhone (1.0) but hasn't prompted me again like this on any updates since.

  • New Outlook 2013 Installation - How to configure for default pop email and access exchange 2003 server for shared folders only

    I have successfully installed and configured outlook 2013 to access my pop.integra.net email accounts.  We have an 2003 exchange server we use for shared folders which I am having difficulty accessing.
    My preference would be to set up my access to the exchange server and use the same data folders for email as are in use for my pop email account.  In outlook 2003 this was simple, but in 2007 on up it seems this feature has been hobbled.  Is there
    a workaround to get both accounts to use the same database?
    Next issue is if I use the Mail client wizard under Control Panel to set up access to the exchange server - everything looks fine but when launching outlook I receive the following 2 error messages:
    "The resource that you are trying to use is located on an unsupported version of Microsoft Exchange.  Contact your e-mail administrator for assistance."
    "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened.  Your Microsoft Exchange administrator has blocked the version of Outlook that your are using.  Contact your administrator for assistance."
    Obviously the optimal solution is to upgrade the Exchange Server - assuming that is not an option - are there any workarounds?
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Downgraded to Office 2007.
    So now have a new Windows 8.1 laptop with outlook 2007 installed.
    From what I have been told this should allow me to connect to the Exchange2003 server
    I set up the pop account - works fine
    set up the exchange account through Mail.exe and am unable to launch outlook.
    "Microsoft Exchange is Unavailable"
    "Retry - Work Offline - Cancel"
    Then
    "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook.  Cannot open the Outlook Window.  The set of folders cannot be opened.  The information store could not be opened."
    The data file path is the same for both the pop account and the exchange account:
    C:\Users\Scott\app data\local\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst
    How do I get this to work?
    Help!
