POP server configuration

Hi.
How can I modify the server POP and MAIL addresses and ports to configure my mail connection? I know there are advanced parameters but only accessible once you have already make initial setup.
Thanks

Hi again!
I'm actually not certain that you can accomplish what you need. See this KB for the screens you should see in the advanced configuration:
KB10154 How to integrate a POP or IMAP email account through advanced integration
And see this for the supported ports for POP/IMAP email:
KB05333 Supported email account protocols for BlackBerry Internet Service
Good luck!

Apple Mail Pop Server Configuration

Hi all,
It's not often I post on here but here we go. I have been using Macs ever since the Lisa Electronic Office and have always been perplexed by one strange quirk of the Apple Mail account configuration process. This quirk is now becoming extremely troublesome.
I use BT/Yahoo (I'm not talking about the famous password rejection problem). One main account and several sub-accounts which, for all intents and purposes, can be considered as separate accounts.
Now the problem arises because, while each has a separate email address, they all use the same pop server settings. ie. mail.btinternet.com.
Mail will not allow me to use two accounts with the same pop settings. I can set up and verify the account (doesn't stay on-line because SSL is set and the port is wrong) but when I come make a change and save it I get the message:
Invalid Directory
The account path /Users/fredbloggs/Library/Mail/V2/[email protected]@mail.btinternet.com is already being used by the account “Another One”
Obviously I've changed the account names. Another One is one of my other accounts. I've got one working by using pop.btinternet.com but I've run out of working aliases. I should be able to set up 10 sub accounts and access them all with Apple Mail. IMAP works OK but that is something I don't wish to use for a number of reasons.
Anybody else come across this?
I can do all this with Entourage (horrible) and Outlook which I do not intend to buy. Why does Apple make life so difficult sometimes?

OK Folks,
To save confusion and to all those people who think I am using the same email address for everything, here they are.
     British Telecomm Residential
          [email protected]          (USAAF 381st Bomb Group Heavy)
          [email protected]     (My company)
          [email protected]          (Master Account for everything else)
     British Telecomm Business
          [email protected]          BT Business E-Mail - I don't use
     Others I have are:
          [email protected]
          [email protected]
          [email protected]
[email protected] currently exists as an IMAP account which works but something I would rather not have.
As you can see, they are all separate and distinct.
As I said before, all hese work just fine with Entourage (nasty and a dead product) and Outlook (something I'm not prepared to buy when the Apple offering should do it all for me and integrates really nicely with iCal, Address Book, Notes etc.
Thank you everybody for trying to help and thanks Defcom but, as you thought, that article is really old hat now.
I am now going to open a large bottle and sit in that darkened room.
If I now get flooded with spam, I know where it's come from.
Goodnight, Good Morning or G'Day depending on where you're from..

Mail sender adapter POP server not configured for URL access

Hi Experts,
I have a Mail --> PI --> R/3 scenario and I am configuring the Mail sender adapter for POP3. The issue is that the POP server is not configured to be accessed via a URL and hence the URL pop://hostname/ is causing the following error at runtime:
_1. When I use pop://Fully qualified host name/
_Error: exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.UnknownHostException
_2. When I use pop://IP address of host/
_Error: exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address
I am able to ping the POP3 server from the PI server using both the FQDN and IP address.
Can someone please help.
Thanks,
Shobhit

XI 3.0 Mail Adapter for POP3 may not report some errors
also check mailserver security settings ...
Connection refused occures when XI cannot connect
in most cases so try checking it again , maybe some ports are not opend on the firewall

Is there a possibility by which i can configure Netscape Messaging server as a POP server.

I'm running Netscape Messaging server on Solaris 8 is there a provision to configure the NMS as a POP server.SO user's could download the mail through mail clients like Outlook express.

Which version is it? Netscape 4.x or Iplanet 5.x? In both cases the information to configure your mailrelay server as a pop3-server is contained in the administration guide. There you can find everything there is to know about pop3. And it is a lot...
The manuals can be found on the internet: www.iplanet.com.
Good luck.

Configuring Mail on iPad, "POP server is not responding"

Just bought my ipad last week and ive been trying to configure my email account (Live), but it just doesn't seem to work.
I select 'other' and follow the steps, but then a pop up appears saying "Cannot Connect Using SSL" --> Do you want to setup without SSL, yes/no? Selecting no, cancels the setup and selecting yes brings up another pop up, "POP server 'pop3.live.com' is not responding. Check your network connection and that your entered information is correct in the ;Incoming Mail Server; field.
If i click ok after that 2nd popup, i can save my settings but the password is blank and when i re-enter the password the same pop up appears.
Thank you for help in advance.

It works fine and then after the final step i click save... then it brings me to mail and it says Password Incorrect, Enter the password for the exchange account 'Live".. but i'm positive ive entered the password right, ive entered it so many times.
not sure if this is relevant, but it works perfectly on my iphone?

Mail continually loses connection with POP server

I have Apple Mail configured to check two different POP accounts and one GMAIL account. On one of the two POP accounts, and on the GMAIL account, there is generally no problem. But for the other POP account, Mail continually loses the connection, such that often when I check Mail a popup box says:
"Unable to Receive Mail
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Ceccam” or try again.
The server returned the error: The server “mail.ceccam.org.mx” cannot be contacted on port 110."
If I open the connection doctor, it shows no connection with "Ceccam." Clicking "check again" does not help.
The only thing that works, is to close and then re-open Mail, after which it successfully connects to "Ceccam" and manages to check the mail there several times, before losing the connection again, after which I need to close and re-open Mail again. This is driving me crazy.
I have both of my POP accounts configured the same way in Mail. So why does Mail continually lose the connection to one of them, and never lose the connection to the other?
Can anybody suggest how to solve this?
Thank you.
PS This problem only cropped up after I upgraded to Mavericks.

The saga continues... my patience is getting very thin. I've spent hours trying to get this to work and am now naming the companies involved.
I since the issue might be due to the SIM card, I went to an Orange (the service provider) in question to get a new SIM. They gave me a new one in 5 minutes. On putting in the phone, all appeared to work for a while (I could makeand receive calls), then the phone reported "Invalid SIM". It found the network again on a reboot, then a short while later the message Invalid SIM appeared again.
A call to Orange said that the card had not been fully initialised. So I turn off the phone, Orange make some kind of tweak on their side, and tell me to turn on the phone again. It finds the network - but not for long, a couple of hours later, it reports "Invalid SIM" again.
Another call to Orange, who tell me the phone may be defective, it cannot reliably read the SIM card. Normally they would replace the phone, but since I bought it from the The Phone House, it's not their responsibility. So the phone house directs me to Orange, and Orange directs me to an Apple store.
Apple - you are my last hope.

Pop-server rejecting my password

i have an e-mail account at netidentity.com. i've had it for about five years. it's been configured within mail.app flawlessly since that, most of the time. but from time to time, i am repeatedly prompted for my password. the popup says that the pop-server rejected the pasword for that account, and please enter it again. if i enter my password, it's rejected and the prompt pops up again immediately. this can go on, and i have to cancel, leaving the account inactive for some time. the situation usually resolves in a day or two, but meanwhile, i'll have to check my mail using their not at all that good webmail service.
this time around (yesterday and today) this situation occurs when i'm at home. using only an airport express and the modem, no firewall. at work, however, there are plenty of firewalls, but i could get my mail as expected. at other times though, this would happen no matter where i'm at.
does anyone have any clues as to what i could be doing wrong? or is this just the internet weather conditions we live under?

Mail 4.5 not retrieving catch-all mail from Pop Server.

I use email fowarding for a domain (hosted at Godaddy) to forward to my verizon email account. For example: [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] are forwarded to [email protected] The Mail 4.5 client on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.6.8) retrieves all this forwarded email correctly from the Verizon Pop3 server.
I also have one of the domain email aliases setup as a catch-all account. For example [email protected] is configured as the catch all. Mail addressed to [email protected] is also retrieved from the Pop3 server correctly.
But any mail directed to the catch-all account because the email address is invalid such as [email protected] is not retrieved by Mail 4.5 client.
The 'catch-all' email is being forwarded correctly to my Verizon Pop server. If I log in to Verizon Webmail I can see the forwarded 'catch-all' emails in the Webmail Inbox. Also if I use Outlook 2010 on my PC to retrieve my Pop mail, it correctly brings down the 'catch-all' email.
It certainly appears like something internal to Apple Mail is filtering the 'catch-all' email and not retrieving it from the Pop3 Server.
If you can understand what I'm trying to report - can you help me figure out what is wrong?

I now do want to catch all email as it has become my lives work to report spam.
So I figured out an easier way to catch all email using simply the serveradmin command-line tool (this only takes email that would otherwise bounce):
sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:lmtp_luser_relay_enabled = yes
sudo serveradmin settings mail:imap:lmtp_luser_relay = catchallusername
sudo postfix reload

Mail Retrieval from POP server with Pipex

Having just moved house, I've had the displeasure of having to disconnect and re-connect my broadband connection through Pipex.
I've re-configured my email settings with my new pipex email address and username, and can send emails without any problems.
However, Mail doesn't retrieve any email from the pop server, and having checked the settings countless times, I cannot for the life of me figure out why Mail doesn't pull the emails from the server.
I've configured my wifes laptop (running windows) and the email sends and receives perfectly from the same account I'm trying on my iMac.
I've phoned Pipex tech support (who don't support Mac questions), and they have confirmed that I have the correct settings, and that they are the same settings for Windows or OSX.
The only thing that has changed as I see it, is my pipex user name and password, which I know are correct as I can send email from the Mail application.
Anyone else had a similar problem?
Am I missing something?
The pop setting is pop.dsl.pipex.com
The smtp setting is smtp.dsl.pipex.com
Can anyone help?

In Rules, you can set up the condition that if "From: contains" whatever is the sending email address of the RSS feed (assuming that these messages are relayed that way and don't come addressed as being from the O.P.), then delete it or move it to a mail folder that you have set up to be "on your mac" and not on the imap server. Or you can create a new condition, based on, for example, "Header contains" or "message body contains, and find some unique attribute only common to these particular messages to use as the evaluation criterion.
Many of these subscriptions let you select a "digest" delivery option so you will get a daily or weekly dump of all the posts, all concatenated into a single email message sent daily (or weekly or whatever). If your subscription has that delivery option, I would recommend that you consider that as your preferred delivery format.

OS X 10.4.11 Server - configured name and reverse DNS do not match / DNS

Hi all,
I have looked for similar posts but all seem to have different scenarios, hoping to get an answer from someone more experienced than myself before I do anything silly.
Help much appreciated!
Scenario:
We run a 10.4.11 OS X Server on an XServe, hosted at an ISP. ISP provides all DNS services, incl. the reversed DNS entry.
I am currently only running the following services (based on the display in ServerAdmin):
AFP
Firewall
iChat
Mail
QuickTimeStreaming
Web
All others (incl. DNS) are grayed out. (As ISP instructed us not to add a DNS service on our box, that's "normal" according to my experiences with dedicated /co-location server hosting).
We never used changeip after the initial setup, meaning the server's
Current Hostname = somename.local and
DNS Hostname = mail.ourdomainname.net
So in system.log I find this re-occuring entry:
Jul 8 11:41:22 somename servermgrd: servermgr_dns: configured name and reverse DNS name do not match (somename.local != mail.ourdomainname.net), various services may not function properly - use changeip to repair and/or correct DNS
Finally, my question:
As Mail and Web services etc. are currently running OK from what I can tell,
1) do I HAVE to change this at all?
2) Would it be much better / why?
3) Could I change this using the following command
(111.11.111.1 indicating the server's IP address)
changeip 111.11.111.1 111.11.111.1 somename.local mail.ourdomainname.net
4) without running a DNS server on the machine, i.e. DNS service is not required for this to work?
5) obviously I want to be able to use Server Admin after I issue this command...
6) can I fall back easily in case this would screw it up, or is there no risk whatsoever doing this in my case?
THANK YOU so much for any help!

Hi Jonas
If port 443 is already being used on the same box as KMS then it will complain and probably not start the service? I've seen this with LDAP port 636. This is when Kerio is installed on a server configured as an OD Master. Clearly the port can't be used by both servers.
It might be easier to change the port your sites are currently using to something else? Although don't do anything yet. Pose the question to Kerio Support and see what advice they offer.
Yes moving the mail to a local folder on the mail client will do it.
Is Kerio going on the same box? If its a different box (presumably different IP address?) Then what you can do is to port forward to the new server's IP address instead of disabling it. This way while you are bringing the new server on line users can still send mail right up until the time you give instructions on changing their inbound/outbound mail server details. Of course they won't be able to receive but if you time it right they may not even get an error message? Depends on what their schedules are.
If it was me I would choose IMAP every time. As the mail admin you have full control and a central location for easy backup. KMS has a built in archiving feature that makes this a simple process. This is an easier option than going round individual client machines and making sure mail held locally in POP accounts are backed up. Besides there is always someone who falls through the loop and I'm not taking into account drive failures. It makes good sense anyway as there is talk of legislation being introduced to make this a requirement for businesses who run their own mail servers. This is certainly true for certain parts of the US and what usually happens there is generally taken up in the UK and most parts of Europe.
Kerio's WebMail Client means users don't even have to have their own computer. Just as long as they have access to one that has access to the internet they can send/receive mail. No need for dedicated mail applications such as Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Entourage etc. How mail is uses remains consistent for all users.
Yes. I did this not so long ago with Leopard's built in Mail Server. I sent an e-mail defining a time when no inbound mail would be received. Disabled port forwarding for SMTP port 25 and approx 30 minutes after that another mail stating no outbound mail should be sent. Once everything was swopped over (we were changing from a G4 10.4 server to a G5 10.5 Server) port 25 was enabled, new server brought online and everyone was mailing again with no appreciable downtime.
These boxes were to have the same IP address hence the slightly different approach.
Does this help?

ITouch fails to connect to POP server STMP server is fine

The issues is this.
The hosting service has changed email servers and web mail application (something called "Smartermail"). I use the OSX SL with Mail 4.x on the MAC and my iTouch is ver 3.1.2 (using wireless internet).
There have been some minor and not unexpected hiccups in migrating from the old system to the new, nothing catastrophic (yet).
The domain and account settings (addresses, passwords, DNS) have stayed the same. All connections (servers) are of the same domain name so incoming mail (POP) is mail.mydomain.com outgoing mail (STMP) is also mail.mydomain.com, the user name is also the same for both.
I did have to change the SSL to off on both the MAC and iTouch in order to connect to the POP servers. Once that was done receiving mail wasn't a problem.
I did have some issue sending mail with the STMP server but that was solved by changing the port from the typical default(s) to one provided by the hosting service techs. These conditions were originally encountered and addressed on the MAC but as they say the "lessons learned", were applied to the iTouch as well.
This morning, I find I can't connect to the POP server on the iTouch, (message: Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server "mail domainname.com" failed.) However, I can send mail (STMP), download web pages and update weather - stock feeds and the like.
The last thing changed was the STMP port setting, yet I thought I was getting mail (on the itouch) even after the port setting was changed. Is the STMP connection confusing the POP connection? And if so what's the fix? I my be missing the obvious but I didn't see a separate port configuration on the iTouches mail set up.
Thanks for the help

POP server rejecting password

Hi,
lately my POP server has been rejecting my password so I can't get my account online to receive or send new mail. When I log into my web account (it is a yahoo account) my password works fine. I have double checked the password in account infromation in mail and it is correct. This seems to have happened following my latest Tiger update, but not directly after it, probably about a week give or take a few days, so is probably unrelated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Jesse.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.
Note, however, that Mail often doesn’t correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, for example, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or there may be too many messages on the server and Mail times out before the server responds, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server...
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
What’s the time interval chosen in Mail > Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
You may also want to check with the provider of this account in case they’ve made some changes recently that could have a bearing on this.

POP server not responding

I have had my 3rd generation i-touch for about a year and had no problems sending/receiving emails. Now I get the message POP server "incoming.verizon.net" is not responding. I don"t know what changed. When I enter the exact same email account info ito my daughters' itouch...no problems. Any suggestions

I think I'm suffering the same problem with a Touch 3G 8Gb. It was configured for Virgin Mail Imap4 account and this has worked perfectly ok since July until early October. I have tried resetting the Touch, I've reset the Network settings, I've deleted and re-created the email account. I checked that I can access the Imap account from a couple of different computers. I can verify the SMTP settings but not the incoming IMAP4 server. I suspect the problem has appeared since I upgraded to OS4.1 but I cannot pin exactly when I completed the upgrade.
Suggestions please.

VPN server configuration - dns troubles

Some variants of this issue have popped up on this forum, but could not quite resolve my issue. I have VPN running on OSX 10.6 server, but when the client connects to the server, they cannot browse the Internet by their host-name. However, they are able to browse the web by entering IP addresses. On the server side, DNS servers are configured to be 8.8.8.8, and network routing definition set to 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0. L2TP IP range is 192.168.1.2 - 10. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Many parts of Mac OS X Server require functional DNS services.
When you are operating behind NAT, no external DNS provider can typically provide you with DNS translations.
Neither your ISP nor Google can provide you with DNS translations within private IP blocks. Only local DNS can do that.
The other matter here is the attempt to operate Mac OS X Server as a gateway. That gets gnarly, and there are many discussions of that posted around the forums. It's far easier to use an external gateway box, and to avoid configuring a Mac as an expensive and awkward and ungainly and insecure IP router; to avoid the potential to expose open ports or random server applications to the wilds of the internet, as well as avoiding the routing configuration difficulties inherent in the default Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server user interfaces.
Irrespective of all that DNS configuration and LAN-local stuff, your VPN needs to have a DNS server from the target LAN or it will have no translations for a NAT'd network. By default, most VPNs will use the provided DNS for NAT'd hosts as well as public hosts. Which you don't have.
The usual Mac OS X Server configuration order is the host software, basic IP networking and LAN routing, DNS services, Open Directory (OD), and only then with the rest of everything else.
If that sudo changeip -checkhostname command is tossing a DNS warning, then you have DNS issues on the LAN. Need help setting up LAN-local DNS on Mac OS X Server? Here are detailed DNS set-up instructions.

Connect BizTalk Server Configuration with Sql Azure - version 2013 R2

Hi,
My data resides on Sql Azure. I need to create BizTalkRuleEngineDb on Sql Azure using Microsoft BizTalk Server Configuration wizard. Subsequently manage rules from Business Rule Composer.
I am unable to connect to Sql Azure from BizTalk Server Configuration application. Without this i could not create BizTalkRuleEngineDb on Sql Azure. I gave the following details:
Database server name: <servername>.database.windows.net,1433
User name: <username>
Password: <pwd>
When i click configure button, a message pops "The database server you specified cannot be reached...."
All i need from BizTalk is to create Business Rules Engine DB on Sql Azure. Then I would like to manage rules using Business
Rule Composer connecting to Sql Azure BizTalkRuleEngineDb.<o:p></o:p>
My business logic will programmatically access BizTalkRuleEngineDb db and execute rules using Microsoft.RuleEngine.dll<o:p></o:p>
Is this a feasible solution? I would like to see your inputs.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tushar

First I would suggest you to perform sanity check to confirm if SQL server connectivity is perfect.
1) Verify the MSDTC Settings on both the servers:- It should resemble as below.
2) UDL Test:- Create a new "Text Document"(new notepad file) rename it to ABC.udl, double click and give the SQL server details and Test connection. If this fails it means BizTalk is not at all able to connect with SQL and in this
case BizTalk Application is just a victim of Network connectivity issue.
You can also refer the below article-
Resolving the issues you may face during BizTalk Runtime Configuration
