Problem with Apple Mail since OSX Mavericks

Hello Folks,
since i've updated my mid-2012 iMac to OSX Mavericks, i have a problem with Apple Mail: When i start the Apple Mail, the program says that it could not connect to the icloud mail server, and that i should enter my icloud passwort. When i do this, everything works fine. But that annoys me, because it worked without any problem under OSX Mountain Lion.
Has anyone an idea what i can do to fix this?
Regards,
Alex

In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

  • Is anyone having problems with apple mail since upgrading to Yosemite?

    MacBook Pro 15", mid 2012 running Yosemite 10.10.1 - ever since upgrading to Yosemite, I have a problem with Apple Mail which is that the from address persists on my screen after I close the email.  I have to quit mail and sometimes even restart to get rid of it.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any ideas? 

    No, I mean it lingers when I close the email. What I've discovered since I posted earlier is that if I reopen the email and hover over the address  in the actual email the one that is persisting goes away.  Thank goodness, because it is very annoying. I am wondering if it is somehow intentional in the SW. Thank you for asking.

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!

  • Hello, I have trouble with apple Mail 7 in Maverick.

    Hello! I have trouble with Apple Mail 7 in Maverick. I use account type = Exchange. The proble m is that I keep loosing email in my inbox and also in my sent box. They then have to be rebuilt, and because I have lots of emails in the server, it takes several days to rebuild. This never happened in the previous version of apple mail that I used (snow leopard). Any suggestions to fix this problem? Thanks

    Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance.  All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

  • If you have problems with Apple Apps after installing Mavericks

    I had a problem with Apple Apps after installing Mavericks. They would bounce in the dock but never open.  The problem apps I had trouble with were CALENDAR, MAIL, and even APP STORE.   I am guessing it has to do with permissions when setting up via iCloud.  Here's what I did to make my apps work again after the update:
    Restart computer, then immediately hold down OPTION so you can start from the 10.9 RECOVERY DISK.
    Run DISK UTILITY, then run REPAIR DISK, then run REPAIR DISK PERMISIONS.
    After this, RESTART, then hold COMMAND OPTION P R at the same time until your computer restarts three times.
    After it boots up, the apps began working like they should have.

    That's where your questions about Lion should be posted.

  • Is there a problem with Apple Mail using IMAP

    Is there a problem with Apple Mail using IMAP?  Having a problem syncing to our mail server: doesn't sync properly when multiple devices use same mail acct.  Spoken w/ mail hosting provider who says Apple Mail doesn't follow IMAP protocol properly leaving Apple Mail users to experience a variety of problems when connecting to IMAP accounts.  Among them:
    - Improper syncing
    - Proliferation of drafts during composition of an email.
    - Connections on the mail host do not close automatically and proliferate over time until the host rejects further connection requests.
    Hosting provider goes on to suggest turning off IDLE command.  In my experience turning this feature off did not improve the situation.  In fact, it created a few.
    Question: Is the hosting provider correct in faulting Apple Mail?
    Been fielding the question with a number of people.  I'm aware of three people who are experiencing similar problems, each using different mail hosts.  Tech reps at inmotionhosting.com and nexcess.com point the finger at a Apple Mail, along with an IT specialist in Los Angeles, CA, and a tech support rep at an Apple Store in Arizona who said that Apple and Google mail are aware of and coordinating to resolve the problem.
    Anyone out there have any insights into this?

  • Problems with Apple Mail and Gmail

    Hiya
    I'm keen to integrate my Gmail Account with Apple Mail via POP3, however having followed the instructions given by Google - it doesn't seem to work correctly?
    I would appreciate if someone would kindly help me. I look forward to hearing from someone.
    Many thanks,
    Adam

    Hi,
    I want to setup gmail as the default email.I've tried almost everything..google notifier, don't like to have gmail inbox in my mac apps inbox ( I could do that successfuly ).I hate it actually that I have to use entourage to send photos first to my gmail and then forward to friends.There is nothing wrong with mac mail or entourage but I just love my gmail...help please!
    Apple needs to fix two things to make their mail more popular ( infact the features are great especially with new iLife'08 ) : one , mac mail should be free like all major email services ( I'll be happy with 4GB free space rather than 10GB which they are offering now with subscription ) and second they should create userfriendly environment to use any email ids as default.
    Thx

  • Apple mail in OSX Mavericks not saving preferences changes

    Earlier today Apple Mail went buggy, refusing to send messages, displaying no email messages in any box, and hanging.  I deleted the com.apple.mail directory in an effort to salvage my email.  I got the email back, but now Apple Mail will not save changes made in preferences and will not allow me to reinstall MailTags.  I have no idea what is going on here.  Any help would be most welcome.

    I've been having this problem on all my devices since using mavericks. And it's not only with gmail - also with private mail-clients. Looking for a descent fix!!!

  • Can't rearrange gmail mailboxes in apple mail in OSX Mavericks

  • SMTP problems with Apple Mail 6.2

    Recently my Apple Mail 6.2 has become messed up. It tells me that all my accounts (a gmail, me.com & cloud) are all offline and can not be brought back on line. The Mail on my iPhone and iPad works fine with the exact same settings and exact same accouts that I have had for many months. Something has changed in Mac OS 8 Mountain Lion in release 6.2, IS THIS FIXED?

    This is how to solve the problem:
    - Open Mail.
    - at top left, click Mail, then Preferences.
    - Choose the Accounts tab.
    - highlight your first mail account on left.
    - towards the bottom right, click the arrows on the right side of
      'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)' and choose the
       ' 'Edit SMTP Server List'
    - When the next box opens, click the 'Advanced' tab in the middle right
       of that box.
    - choose 'Use custom port:' (2nd choice in middle) and put the
       value 25 in the box on right (i.e. you are forcing Port 25,
        which is the standard port)
    - you should be able to 'OK' out of all the boxes, and the SMTP server
       should no longer say Offline.
    In 2 out of about 20 Mac's I had to go back in and choose
    Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) click OK,
    then immediately go back and Uncheck the Use SSL box, and click OK again. 
    In both of those cases I also had to reboot / Restart. 
    It was probably the 'restart' that got the settings to take hold,
    but since I tried checking SSL both times to force the change, I listed it here. 
    If I had to try with another system, I would skip the SSL step and just reboot.
    Port 25 is listed as one of the default ports in choice 1 on the last page;
    but it seems like the latest release of Mail for both Lion and Mountain Lion
    never really checks port 25.
    Like I said, I had to do this with EVERY Mail account after Mail updated to 6.3
    in both Lion and Mountain Lion upgrades,
    . . . and it worked for all of them.  Feel free to ask questions, I'll check back.

  • Problems with Apple Mail attachments not showing in Outlook

    I am experiencing problems when using the new Apple Mail 5.0 (with OSX Lion) to send PDF attachments. The recipient using MS Outlook on a PC will see the email, see the attachment icon (paper clip) but they cannot click to open the attachment.
    It's like the attachment was stripped off the email.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

    I also have this problem, it seems to be something to do with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22343 but I cannot find the "View in Place" or "View as Icon"  options. Anyone had any luck?
    This however, maybe the cause (with no real solution but to switch to plain text format): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesoftwareupdate/thread/7 98ae640-9091-44c9-b663-63152eb2f0fe/

  • Problem with Apple Mail and GMail

    Can anyone help me with the following problem. I use Apple Mail as my client and GMail iMap as my server. When I create mails I often get a problem (I think caused by the trackpad) where the mouse jumps and I seem to generate a spurious draft email. The result is that I have a mailbox called "All Mail" in the Mail sidebar which contains over 10,000 messages, even though I only have a few hundred real messages (inbox, sent and spam) and my drafts folder is empty. In this mailbox there are numerous versions of the same emails saved during the creation of the email, all slightly different. I just don't understand what is going on.

    Hi There
    For Gmail setup using apple mail use this guide
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
    POP access on yahoo accounts is not free. A yahoo mail plus account is needed.
    As far as I am aware Hotmail does not allow any POP access at all. I couldn't find any specific information on POP access in Hotmail's help site.
    Hope this helps

  • Outlook users' problems with Apple mail attachments

    Folks on Windows XP using Outlook 2003 are having problems with email from Apple mail. Apple mail is using Windows Friendly Attachments and Rich Text as the settings. Sometimes attachments (Word, Excel, PDF) come in fine with an additional .htm attachment, but the body text of the message is missing. If the Outlook user opens the .htm file, there is the body of the Apple mail. Testing with Plain Text results in the body text appearing fine in Outlook, but the attachment is seen as a *.dat file and of course can't be opened. The Macs are all on OS X Tiger with all OS updates applied. Users of Outlook in other offices don't have this problem, and users of Thunderbird on Windows don't have this problem. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to resolve it? Is there a setting on Outlook that needs to be tweaked? Is there a setting on Apple mail that needs to be tweaked? Apple mail attachments to this Windows office worked fine until a few weeks ago. I do not know what changed between then and now as I am not in charge of the computers at the Windows office. Could a Mac OS update have caused a problem? Something on Windows or Outlook specifically? Thanks for any help you can provide. I've scoured the web and have tried everything to no avail. Zipping attachments, while a workaround, is not a long-term solution. Thanks!

    Is this in an environment where an MS Exchange Server is being used? Seeing a file change to .dat would often point to that.
    Plain Text should be the plan of action for users of Apple Mail, but something (probably the Exchange Server) is messing that up. See:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053
    and also related:
    http://www.pchell.com/support/winmaildat.shtml
    Moving to Leopard would probably not solve this -- the administrator of the exchange server must act.
    Also the problem with winmail.dat files is known to impact other email clients used even on Windows computers.

  • Verizon changed their mail servers, they say there is a problem with apple mail, how do I fix this?

    Verizon changed their email servers. I have tried to change the settings on my imac desktop but having problems sending email.  Verizon support could not help, said I should call Apple.  Has anyone run into this?

    I have had problems with Verizon.  I can send and receive emails so not the same issue.  But, when I updated the Apple iOS software, it erased my email history on the Verizon server (which I don't really understand how it could do this).  The email history is visible in Mail on both my phone and Mac, but when I log into Verizon, it is not there.
    Verizon is blaming this on Apple

  • Outgoing Server Problem with Apple Mail

    I have multiple accounts set up in Apple Mail (two IMAP's a gmail and an exchange).  The Exchange account receives and sends fine, but the problem is that the Exchange account will not stay listed as the outgoing mail server, despite have it listed as the outgoing server in preferences for that account and is checked as "use only this server."  When I try to complse a new message when that account is selected, it defaults to one of the other accounts.  I can change in the message to the exchange account and it sends fine.  But having to change everytime I send a message is REALLY annoying.  Someone please tell me what I'm missing.

    Hi
    I have a similar problem here i have work accounts which do not need the SSL ticked but when I uncheck the box and in a  few seconds the tick is back up again sometimes I have to click about 10 times or so for it to stay off. I tried to do your sollution it did not work on your suggested port but seemed to work on the 25 port . Also I found i only have the problem when I am at work were we are on a PC network and firewall. It seemed to work fine on a normal home line. Also it only happens on Mountain Lion I have a older macbook with snowleopard and there i have not problems sending messages
    as right it was said Apple needs to look into that ASAP as it is very frustrating
