Problem setting up IMAP client that is housed on my MacMini OS 10.6 Server

I can access my mail account on my Mac Mini OS 10.6 server from my iMac. I can not set up the clients on my iPhone (3S) and iPad (Wi-Fi). Both access the sever through the same Wi-Fi circuit that the iMac uses. Both were originally are synced to the iMac. Error message is first
"No password is provided for IMAP account". When the password is manually added then the response is
""servername" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "incoming Mail Server" filed. I have checked multiple times and modified connection settings just to get the same response. Thank goodness the iMac client works. Could this be a mail server setting or a DNS issue?

It amuses me that the email that was sent to confirm the posting of this question had a clickable link. Naturally that link did not work. Cutting and pasting it into FireFox allowed me to complete the posting process. Annoying.

Problems setting up email client (Mac Mail) with BC hosted emails

This issue has me tearing my hair out! My client wanted to take advantage of the 10 emails addresses with WebBasics. Very simple to sort out and the emails are all happily available with mail going in and out through the WebMail interface. Brilliant.
However my client wanted to be able to access her emails through Mac Mail. And I cannot get the outgoing mail to work.
I have followed instructions to the letter, and I can get emails to come in but when I try to send it simply states that the stmp.clientsdomain.com say's it's offline.
I have tried using alternative ports, also using the ISP outgoing mail setting with no luck.
My main issue after speaking to the livechat guys at BC and using Factsheets, is the information on them (screenshots etc) just does not reflect Mac Mail, I admit that I am probably using a later / earlier version but the differences seemt o be huge. For instance, I keep being told that I need to UNTICK the SSL box during configuration. But my version of Mac Mail, doesn't give me the option to tick or untick at any point, it does however throw up a warning message saying that my client's domain is invalid inscure but I can carry on. Similarly when I look at the Account Summary on the FactSheet it says that it should show "SSL:OFF" but when I follow the instructions it states "SSL:ON" . I have gone into preferences afterwards to untick SSL but it still does not work.
Anyone have an answer?

Hi Peter,
I'm afraid not, I turned to Apple support forums, followed their advice for troubleshooting Mac Mail (obviously not relevant to you using Outlook) but It involved scanning ports checking firewalls etc, all of this was clear and I just cannot see the problem.
I even got one of the Livechat BC guys to look into it, by setting up a dummy email address on the client's account, I think he was rather intrigued, but I'm not sure he's had much luck as he still hasn't got back to and that was over 20 hours ago.
Can your client receive emails? I can only get my client's account receiving emails, when I try to send an email I just keep receiving an message telling me that it cannot connect to smtp!
According to the BC fact sheet for sending and receiving emails: "By Default, email software will set the SMTP port to 25, which is the standard port for the smtp protocol. However our mail service has two alternative ports available that you can send through. 8025 or 587.
However it's not blocked and those port settings didn't work either.
The Apple fact sheet made mention to firewall settings possibly also blocking, but it's not relevant to me using my version of OS.
Good luck, and please repost if you get any further.
I am now just looking for a reason that my client's mail WONT work on Mac Mail, just so I can sound professional when I tell them the answer is "no".

Any GUI IMAP clients that don't suck?

Currently I am using Thunderbird which is OK but has an annoying bug which causes it to keep open too many connections to the mail server and then I have to close it down or wait for it to time out before it will do anything.
I used to use KMail but it was dog slow on IMAP the last time I used it.
Evolution is bleghhh. Geary looks like it might be OK. The others look like they were last updated in the mid 90s.
What do other people use? I'm not interested in console-based clients (even though those are probably the fastest). Are there any others that use Qt instead of GTK?

shaurz wrote:Evolution is bleghhh. Geary looks like it might be OK. The others look like they were last updated in the mid 90s.
I think you're going to need to be a little more technical in your requirements besides "OK", "mid 90s" and "bleghhh".
...but I'm not sure what the point is. You can read the list of GUI email clients here and just try them out yourself. Should take about 30 minutes.
EDIT: There was a related discussion not too long ago: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171989

Outlook IMAP client authen to CUCMBE-UC with LDAP/AD integration

I have a CUCME 7.1(3). instlallation which is integrated into AD's LDAP for user population and authentication. Users can log into the UC PCA (/ciscopca)
and authenticate their username/password against AD successfully.
I'm trying to setup Outlook clients but I cannot authenticate my client when testing the connection to UC. My username's SMTP address is [email protected]
and when I set-up my IMAP outlook client I am using an email address of [email protected], server information for IMAP has incoming and outgoing server address 10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1 is my CUCMBE-UC address). I am using my username and password which works for ciscopca access (via AD authen). But when I test my connection it just kicks back the test that the log in failed.
Is there a problem with authentication IMAP clients to UC-IMAP when AD auth/integration is used in Business Edition or am I missing something.
THANKS!!

So, there is one portion of the document that I sent you I'd like to focus in on and ask if you've tried this and, if not,
please do:
Configure the corporate email address of each user as an SMTP proxy address for the user. When setting up the Connection IMAP account on user workstations, use the corporate email address of the user, rather than the Connection-specific email address, in the IMAP settings. In this way, users do not need to know an extra set of email addresses for addressing voice messages in the email client, and are insulated from changes to the Connection-specific addresses if the Connection SMTP domain is changed.
In other words, you would have the following:
AD User = jdoe
CUC User = jdoe (synced from AD)
Corporate SMTP/Email Address = [email protected]
CUC SMTP/Email Address = [email protected]
For jdoe's CUC user account, configure the SMTP proxy address to be the corporate email address ([email protected]).
When you set the IMAP connection in Outlook, specify the SMTP Proxy Address as the connection name NOT the CUC SMTP address. You would also provide your AD password just like you do with PCA.
Have you tried to see if that yields different results?

Problem with Oracle 9i client to access multiple oracle databases

I am having problem setting up oracle client 9i to access multiple oracle db. When I finish installing Oracle 8.x client, I simply replace the tnsnames.ora that the installation created with the ones that I have. I can access three different databases. I only need to add three diffrent entries in the tnsnames.ora file. I cannot be able to do this with Oracle 9i client. I follow the instruction from the CD installation to use local naming method. It appears that Oracle client try to create multiple entries on my tnsnames.ora file but I can only be able to access one db.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks! HD

the old tnsnames.ora is working with Oracle 8 client. The new tnsnames.ora (if I use the Oracle Net config) have two entries, one is dev and the other is prod.
Thanks!

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

IMAP client, delete mail problems

Hello all,
I am on GW2012 and for a while now I have been having this problem.
Anyone, whether using Apple, Android or any other device/client, that connects to the 2012 GWIA to check mail, if they delete a piece of mail, it is simply striked through and not deleted. It will look deleted on the IMAP client/device, but when one looks at the full client or web client, the email that should have been deleted only has a strike all the way through it. It never deleted until it gets deleted in the full or web client.
Is there a setting somewhere in GroupWise that is causing this to happen?
Tom

Just found out that my intrnet service provider has an imap email set up and means that I cannot leave a copy of my emails on the server, correct?

Just found out that my intrnet service provider has an imap email set up and means that I cannot leave a copy of my emails on the server, correct?

IMAP email is server based. All messages remain on the server and are viewed remotely when using an email client like Thunderbird. If you delete the message from a remote device it is removed from the server.

Problem: how to reset clients so that they re-connect to a OD Server

I have a problem with our Open Directory clients (running 10.5.x and 10.6.x)
Due to a hardware failure I needed to re-install our MacOSX Server system. I decided to start over with a fresh installation of OSX 10.6 Server and completely new settings, since I wanted to migrate our server from 10.5 to 10.6 anyway.
The 10.6 server installation seems to be fine, but I am running into one problem:
Our client computers were set up to connect to the 10.5 server via the "Directory Services" app. The clients were set to have some managed preferences, like using the Software Update server on the OSX server system; this worked fine with our 10.5 server, and when I initially set up the client systems to access the 10.5 OD server via Directory Services, an auto-configuration started on the client systems, setting up e.g. iChat and Software update to communicate with the server.
Now in my new installation, this does not happen anymore on our existing systems. To me it looks like the clients still think that they are configured correctly by the server (the IP address and the name of the server did not change). But even when removing the server from Directory Services app on the clients and setting it up again the screen asking if the system should be set up to use the services does not come up again.
Is there a way to reset the client computers into a state where they think they were never connected to a Open Directory server, so that they re-launch the auto configuration when connecting to our server system? Or is there something I am missing on our server that needs to be configured to set up clients to e.g. use the Software Update server? The Software Update server is running on the server, and the users are set up to use the SU server, but the info seems not to move over to the client systems…
Thanks a lot,
Floh

Maybe you can try this.
Here is a workaround:
1) In the Utilities folder, open Keychain Access. In the System keychain, find and delete the three com.apple.kerberos.kdc entries - a certificate and a public/private key pair generated from that certificate.
2) In Terminal, run 'sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc' - this will destroy the local KDC database.
3) In Terminal, run 'sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC' - this will regenerate the local KDC database, including a new certificate and SHA1 hash.
4) Bind the machine to OD.
I use this when i install an new image on an new Mac and have to bind it to our OD server (in our new image this not necessary anymore)

We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help

Greetings all -
We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help.
If, for example, I execute the query "select (all) from dba_objects", trace output reports 90% of the elapsed time spent under "SQLNet message from client".
Here are OS details for the clients: Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
Running "uname -a" from the client gives:
(SunOS bmc-ste-app 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220)
Here are OS details for the dataserver: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2
Running "uname -a" from the dataserver gives:
(2.6.18-92.1.6.0.2.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 17:44:55 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
The RDBMS is 10.2.0.4
Again, please note, there is no application in the picture here. We are just running a simple catalog query (select * from dba_objects) from sqlplus. Why the wait on something like this? The wait also occurs when a different query is used (select (all) from SYS.COL$ where rownum < 50000). And it doesn't matter if I used the full client or the instant client. I still get the same high-wait.
We had thought - maybe this is a network thing - so we put a test client on the same subnet as the dataserver. This helped - but not enough. The wait is still way too high even with firewalls taken out of the equation.
We've also looked at arraysize, SDU, kernel settings. And we've spent time going over tkprof, truss and sqlnet-tracing.
Has anyone ever had to solve this HIGH WAIT ON CLIENT issue? Is there a work around or some tweak I'm missing.
Is anyone configured like we are (linux dataserver, solaris clients)? If so - did you see anything like this?

Hello,
We have the exact same issue. Did you ever solve this issue? We have a t5220 and have just upgraded our 11.5.10.2 11i system on it from 9.2.0.8 32-bit sparc to 11.2.0.1 64-bit sparc. Things should be faster but arent, and our consultant has tracked it down to high wait times when the apps tier using forms connects to the database tier on the same box. So even though the t5220 is both server and client, there is something about the client sql connection.through TNS that his having trouble. Thanks for any information. We've also created an S/R with Oracle.
Note: I am well aware of the other issues with the CMT server series but this particular issue seems independent of the regular / known issues and remains a mystery to us. Other known issues with the CMT servers for SPARC:

hi iv got a sky router downstairs and a time capsule up stairs how do i set it up so that it just extends the sky wifi and then the hard drive in the time capsule is accessible from all over the house thanks

Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on the back of the Sky router to the WAN (circle of dots icon) port on the back of the Time Capsule. This connection must be maintained at all times.
Then, using the setup "wizard" on your iMac illustrated below, configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password that the Sky router is using.
You can get the setup wizard going in several different ways, but the simplest might be to click the WiFi icon at the top of the Mac's screen and then click on Time Capsule under the heading of New AirPort Base Station.
The wizard will open up and analyze the network, then the suggest the correct setup. The example below shows an older AirPort Express that is about to be setup in the same way. You will see a Time Capsule icon on your screen when you run the setup wizard.

I am trying to set up a mail account but I get a warning that my password cannot be sent securely to the server. How do I correct this so that I can set up my email account?

1. If you haven't tried this already, just delete the user account entirely, and then try setting it up again.
2. To find the permissions file:
     a. hold down the option key
     b. go to the Go menu in the finder
     c. scroll down to Library and open it
     d. in Library, go to Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
     e. drag it to the trash and restart.
3. if that doesn't work, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access menu, do Keychain First Aid, and repair.
This should keep you busy for a while.

How can I set it up so that clients can respond to the threads in their cases.

What can be done to allow clients that are logged into the member areas to respond to a case thread that is on going.

Hi,
The only option I can see is needing to use the CST feature instead. The system will allow customer interaction and will track the conversation through email instead.
We do not have an option for case responding through the actual site otherwise.

Problems setting up Mail to Exchange

Hey everyone,
Having a few problems setting up mail to exchange on a Nokia 5800.
We have the latest version of Mail to Exchange installed.
Were using Microsoft Exchange 2007.
Example serup of what we have done:
Mail to exchange - New profile - Input Username and Password of domain account - Input domain name - Chose Internet as means of connection -
The Nokia goes off and searches for the domain information, finds it OK. Shows a message regarding a server certificate, we chose to install this certificate this time only.
Phone crashes?
Any ideas whats going on?

Hi Jim,
Depending on the customer feedback, it works fine. Apple Mail the client that comes with OSX supports standard protocols (POP3, IMAP, SMTP), these are all supported by Exchange 2010.
If you're running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, you can still use the Mac Mail App to connect to your account. However, you need to connect to your account without using IMAP or POP.
If you're running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion, you can use the Mail program included with those releases to connect to your email account automatically using an Exchange account.
When you use Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion and connect using an Exchange account, you can use features that aren't available to users who connect through IMAP or POP, including iCal and Address Book.

Problem with Yahoo IMAP and Mail...

I'm having an issue with my Yahoo IMAP setup and mail on my desktop:
I have set up my yahoo email account with IMAP on both my iphone 4 and with mail on macbook pro. It has worked fine, all my folders are synced up on both devices and everything runs well except for one small problem. When I read an email on my Iphone, the mail program on my macbook pro never knows. Every day I come back to my computer, and all of my yahoo emails remain as "new" and "unread" even though I had checked all of them on my iphone. Its very weird because the opposite is not true - in other words - if I check a Yahoo email on my macbook pro, then my Iphone recognizes it and will show it is "read" as soon as I read it on macbook pro.
I also have an IMAP work email hosted by gator and a gmail account and I do not have this problem, its only on my yahoo account. I have tried the following settings:
Incoming server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming server - apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server - smtp.apple.mail.yahoo.com
I have set everything to ssl with ports 465 and 993. Still keep getting this same problem that my macbook pro does not recognize when emails have been read on my iphone (for only the yahoo account).
Anybody else having this problem or have any suggestions on how to fix??

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mobile/comms/mail/imap-01.html
To set up IMAP on your mobile device please use these settings:
Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
Username: full email address (for example, [email protected] or [email protected])
Password: the password you login to Yahoo! with.
If you are having trouble setting up IMAP on your mobile device we recommend reviewing your phones instruction manual or contacting your mobile provider for support.
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799
You can use the following information to configure IMAP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions -- we're unable to provide assistance with configuring mail clients not listed here.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL:     imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS:     smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name:     your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Email Address:     your full Gmail email address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Password:     your Gmail password
Please note that if your client does not support SMTP3 authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.
Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.
