POP MAIL STOPPED WORKING - server doesn't support X-APOP?

All of a sudden I am getting an error for my POP mail that says the POP server does not support "X-APOP authentication". I didn't change any settings and I haven't been able to receive any of my POP mail since Sunday. Any ideas?

This error is likely due to a change in the authentication settings in the affected email account. Try this:
Click Settings
Click Mail
Click the affected account
Click Advanced
Look at Authentication - it should be PASSWORD. If it's MD5, change it to PASSWORD.
Use the dark blue icon at the top to go back twice after you changed it back to PASSWORD.
Hit home and check your mail - should work fine now.

  • Can't connect because mail server doesn't support A-POP

    A strange little bug is happening with me. Every time I reboot my mac and startup mail, one of my POP accounts fails to connect giving the warning message that my mail server doesn't support A-POP.
    After quitting and restarting mail about 5 times it finally kicks in and connects up.
    Anyone else had sim issues?

  • SMTP Server down/Outgoing mail stopped working

    Wednesday morning, July 1, my outgoing mail stopped working.  I'm using Mac Mail on OSX Yosemite.   Incoming mail is working just fine.  Outgoing says it can't make a connection.I have it set as smtp.comcast.net port 465 Use SSL is checked.  Password authentication.  I have rebooted the router (which came from Comcast).   I've tried unchecking password authentication, chaging to port 567.  Nothing works.

    No.. Still isn't working.  I tried the .plist edit solution (which frankly, seemed like a bad idea)  and deleting all the comcast entries from the keychain.  I was prompted for a password when receiving mail, but sending mail is still not working.

  • Mail stopped working after replacing primary HD

    Apple Mail stopped working after replacing and restoring the Main Hard Drive in the upper bay.  Internet connection is good, and the Mail client troubleshooting (Comcast) was no help.  I can start the App, but it does not retrieve or send mail through Comcast anymore.  I have a MacBook Pro with the same settings and Mail works fine.

    Thanks for replying.
    This is odd because my PowerMac G5 with Leopard Mail cannot receive or send email.  Connection doctor is showing all red dots on every email account with Comcast (BTW, GMAIL accounts okay).  On my Blackberry, and my MacBook Pro (Lion), the setting are all the same, passwords, etc., and the later two have no issues.  I even created a test Administrator Account in "Accounts" in System Preferences on the G5, logged into the Test Account and tried to create a new mail account with the same settings, and yet during the set-up (Welcome to Mail), I get an error message that says Mail cannot log into Comcast's POP server with the current settings.  I have also tried changing passwords, no help. Also the usual disk repair, permissions,  motherboard resets, zapping PRAM, etc.
    Out of ideas...
    Thanks for any help...

  • Mail stopped working

    I have had this iTouch for 10 days now. I have version 2.0.2(5C1) and everything was working perfectly until I connected the iTouch to my Mac Powerbook today. Then, Mail stopped working altogether. Send or Receive is not working. I just see a "Checking for Mail..." sign at the bottom of the screen when I go into an Inbox (gmail, me or company email). All other apps seem to be working fine.
    Any suggestions (other than to throw this wonderful POS out?) I actually do mean "wonderful" because I did love this until today. Maybe the "Mobile me" is screwing this up....thoughts?

    Hi CInglez ,
    Do you care to share what the solution was? I thought when you ask a question on forum and hope that people reply, should'nt you update if you have resolved the problem.
    Anyway, you are not obliged to anyway.
    Just wanted to update that i was facing the similar issues.
    OCS version: 10.1.2.4
    OS: SuSE 9 Update 3
    Issues: Could not telnet on OCS server localhost on port 25, even though the listener_es and all email processes were running.
    Solution: set the stack size to 512
    Step by step instructions to resolve:
    1.logon to the terminal running ocs apps server as oracle user
    2. run ulimit -a and you will find that stack size is set to unlimited (assuming you have it to default)
    3. set stack size to 512, by running the following command:
    ulimit -s 512
    4. run ulimit -a and ensure the value for stack size has changed.
    5. from that same session run: $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopall
    5. Now start all the process from that same session: $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
    This has resolved the issue for me, to set this parameter permanently please follow the metalink note # 395083.1
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Mail stopped working - closes within 2 seconds

    As of 2/14 my iPhone mail stopped working. I lauch the application, it opens briefly and immediately closes. I link to Road-runner through Outlook on the PC and have MobileMe for push syncing.
    After completely reinstalling the email accounts, MobileMe, etc. the problem persists. It opens, now appears to be searching for a connection (a first) then shuts down.
    Any ideas?

    I had this same problem yesterday happen all of a sudden. My iphone is less than a month old and email has worked fine. I had two mail accounts on my phone, one mobileme & one gmail for work. The phone would seamlessly give me my email for both accounts, I thought it was pretty sweet. Then yesterday, I went to open my email and it would open for 3 seconds and close. If I switched from gmail to mobileme, it was sometimes staying open longer, but would still close. I called tech support and they had me reset the phone twice and finally restore the phone from backup. That didn't work either. Unfortunately, the only thing that finally worked was to delete the Gmail account from my phone. Now mail is working just fine. I plan to go to the Genius bar so I can put my Gmail account back on my phone.

  • Mail stopped working on Airport Express wifi.

    Using Airport Express.  Suddenly, only Mail stopped working on my iPad & iPhone, using my home Airport Express.  Other internet site work.  Mail works on different wifi network. I deleted Yahoo Account in iPad Settings.  Re-entering the Yahoo Account gives the msg "IMAP server 'apple.imap.yahoo.com' is not respondig.  Check network connection ant that you entered correct info in 'Incoming Mail Server' field.

    Had the very same problem with ATT DSL and mail @ my domain. Tried everything including pestering the crap out of my hosting service. Turned out to be AirPort Extreme firmware version 7.6.4 (the latest). I downgraded with Airport Utility to 7.6.3 and all is fine.

  • Exchange mail in mac mail stopped working

    I have been using a exchange IMAP mail on my mac mail for several years now. Recenty the volume of emails in my inbox was exceeding the size limit set by the administrator. I created seperate mailboxes on my mac to store old emails, which was working fine for sometime. However, all of a sudden one day, my mail stopped working correctly: The inbox is constantly thinking (the circiling bars are always circiling), it does not move emails to my offline mailboxes, it does not erase emails, it take at least 15 minutes to receive and/or send emails. I have tried to update the envelope index but no change. I have the same account on my ipad and iphone, and both work fine, only on my mac book (lion ISO) is it not working.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    That means you have to restore the device with iTunes now. So connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore the iPad.

  • Lion 10.7 / pop mail not working...

    on an intel mac pro... pop mail not working... problems with 110 port connecting to server... any suggestions?

    The only possible way to get my mail working with Mac OS X 10.7.4 was to use Thunderbird (latest version, 13) instead of Apple Mail. I don't know if this was related to my ISP only but I'm surprised that there aren't more discussions about this problem. Apparently, it is very widespread from what my ISP said. They said there is a problem with (or change in) the way Apple Mail handles POP accounts under Mac OS X 10.7.x. They are getting dozens of calls about it every day. My POP account, which worked perfectly under Mac OS X 10.6.8, simply would not retrieve mail under Mac OS X 10.7.4 using the exact same settings. I tried absolutely everything that I could find on the Internet to resolve the problem in order to continue to use Apple Mail.
    So for anyone else experiencing this problem, forget Apple Mail. Download Thunderbird and set up your POP account exactly as it was set up under Snow Leopard and your problem will be solved. Looks like Apple has some fixing to do. This is unacceptable, regardless of what Apple's excuse is or whatever their reason was for making this change.
    I like Thunderbird. I'm actually kind of glad this happened now

  • Mac Mini Server Doesn't Support Duel Thunderbolt Displays!

    I purchased a mac mini server with the intent of ultimately running two thunderbolt displays off of it. I pre-ordered in August, waited six weeks for it to arrive and realized that the mac mini server that I had been sent was a lemon. I applied for a replacement, which was built in China and it arrived two weeks later. Everything was going great - I had my mac mini server running a thunderbolt and I was thrilled! Yesterday however, I purchased my second thunderbolt display, connected it and nothing happened. Trouble shooting didn't help. Finally, I called apple and was told that the server version doesn't support duel thunderbolt displays! I had read all of the technical specifications and there was no mention (at that time) that the server couldn't support duel displays. I am now in the process of returning my mac mini server in exchange for a custom build mac mini with upgraded 2.7 GHz i7 processors and 8GB RAM. I'm really disappointed to have to be going through all of these extra steps just to realize the system that I imagined early on. I checked the Apple Thunderbolt display options page at apple and they have now posted that the server doesn't support duel displays (but that informaiton definitely was not there when I first read it!). Why would the server version not support duel displays? To me, it doesn't make any sense. What are your thoughts?

    It doesn't support dual TB displays because it uses the integrated
    Intel graphics HD 3000.  Only discrete graphics cards can handle
    dual TB displays.  The integrated graphics chip just cant handle
    the load.
    As for the logic of it, as servers, they are usually single display
    and even more often are run headless and managed remotely.
    It is marketed as a server and thus the logic.

  • Why does mail stop working?

    Why does mail stop working when it has worked fine for years?

    OK, thank you.  I use apple for e-mail.  I have an @me address and I have long subscribed to mobile me, which has recently become icloud.  Yesterday the @me mail account appeared to stop recognizing my e-mail password for my primary mail account on my two imacs but not on my ipad.  The most recent e-mail I have received on my imacs is 7:16am yesterday, but I know from my ipad that I have received numerous e-mails since then.  I have other mail accounts, including one for the school where I teach.  I am receiving e-mail on the school account ok.
    I made no changes to my password or otherwise for my primary mail account any time recently.  I also still have my @mac address.
    Generally, I do not understand icloud.  I do not understand how to sync information across computers.
    When I go to preferences in mail and I click and accounts and account information, I do not understand anything that I see there.  When I try to re-type my password, there seems to be no way to save it except to switch to another mail account.  I know from past experience that if I attempt to fix whatever might be wrong with mail I do not know what I am doing.
    Any information would be helpful.  Thank you.

    There are many possible reasons for that.
    Most likely a corrupted cookie or cache file for that site may be responsible.
    On the Safari menu bar got to Safari -> Empty Cache
    Then go to Safari -> Preferences and click on the 3rd symbol from right.
    Click on Details -> type the name of the particular site (e.g. facebook) in the search field and delete all upcoming entry's.
