Problems with Mac email. Friends getting failed delivery notifications.

Hi. Just logging into Apple community for the first time. I have a Mac Book Air. Contacts are saying that they have problems emailing me. I'm just using the standard Mac email. They say they are getting failed delivery messages. Is there anything I can do?

Welcome!
This is most probably a problem that should be addressed to your mail service provider. I doubt very much it is a problem with your Mac.
You could try sending yourself an email. If that "bounces" back to you as undeliverable it would be useful information to give your MSP.
Good luck.

HT5361 Problems with @mac email NOT being received by others

Recently people that I have been sending email to and they are in my address book have NOT been receiving a new email from my @mac.com account. The emails are in my Sent folder and show they have been sent. If someone sends me an email and I reply everyone sees it. But not a new email. Any thoughts on what I can do to find the problem?
I've cleaned up my email, rebuilt my inboxes. Please help!! I use my @mac for all my business!
Oh - this happens no matter where I send the email from - iphone 5 or Ipad or macbook pro.
Thank you,
K

Hi,
Part of the final question will depend on how you got to have the various email IDs
If you had an .Mac account and therefore the @mac.com email and then Linked this to @me.com in MobileMe then people can send to either and it will turn up in your mail box.
The same is true if you then linked the MobileMe @me.com to the iCloud account which moved the @me.com address to iCloud and may have latter given you the @iCloud.com.
In this case people could send to any of the three IDs and they will be received in your In box.
You should be able to login to iCloud (the web page) with any of the IDs (they all use the same password) and view the mail from there.
There should not really be any problem sending from one type of account compared to another.
I am not aware of any filtering either by Apple on older @mac.com IDs or Google not accepting them.
In the Window Menu of Mail there is the Connection Doctor which may give further clues.

Email Problem with Mac

Hi, I am new to FIOS so I hope this is the proper board to post in. I set up 2 subaccounts for verizon.net email and configured them for my Mac Mail program. Everything worked well for about 2 days, and all of a sudden the Mail program keeps asking for my password (even though it was saved in my Mail settings) and says the the incoming mail server is offline. I've Googled this issue and see that others have posted about the same authentication error. Has anyone else here experienced - and solved - this problem? Thanks.

I am having the same problems with Mac eMail. I have two Macs, one that is running Lion and the other is running Snow Leopard. I have spent days on the phone with Apple and Verizon and they are blaming each other and neither have a solution. Have you been able to get a response? It looks like this is something that happens from time to time but never really gets fixed.
Please let me know if there has been a fix since the Mac Mail update in July? With the Union Issues Verizon doesn't have enough people to address the issues both in person ( I had a tech come to the house and he didn't know anything about software ) or on the phone. They keep kicking it back to Apple. I also have a couple iPhones and both are working fine. So this seems to be OS X specific. I've had Macs and iPhones for 3 years or more.
Just makes me think something was done to the mail servers they didn't get correct.

Has anyone had a problem with Draft Emails getting sent with Mac OS 10.8.2? It just happened to me and sent a few drafts out to a potential employer I planned on sending out torrow.

Has anyone had a problem with Draft Emails getting sent with Mac OS 10.8.2? It just happened to me and sent a few drafts out to a potential employer I planned on sending out tomorrow.

Hi, one question & one suggestion...
What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

I use Mac Mail. How do I set up an email to get a delivery or read receipt?

I use Mac Mail. How do I set up an email to get a delivery or read receipt? In other words, I want to receive automated confirmation that the email was either delivered, opened, or both -- which you can do in Outlook. I was not able to find this option in the Mail menu.

Unfortunately OS X Mail does not offer this feature as far as I know. With Apple failing to offer that feature up until now I highly doubt it'll happen in the future :/

Thawte Personal Email Cert - Problem with Mac Mail

Hi, I have requested a free cert from Thawte and there seems to be a problem with Mac Mail (using 2.0.7).
I am using Entourage to send a signed message from [email protected] to [email protected]
If I check mail for [email protected]
Mac Mail reports "There was a problem reading the digital signature for this message"
If I check the same account with Thunderbird, everything works fine.
Anyone else having or had problems?
-chris

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I requested another cert and that did not help. Here is the process I used after requesting another cert.
1. Logged into www.thawte.com and requested a new cert.
2. Using Firefox, retrieved the cert.
3. In Firefox, backed up the cert to a pkcs12 file.
4. Opened Keychain and deleted the first cert.
5. Imported the pkcs12 backup file. Imported fine.
6. Open Entourage, under tools, accounts, exchange profile, security, selected the cert Thawte Freemail Member.
7. Checked all 3 options (sign, include cert, clear test signed.
8. Created a test message from Entourage to .mac account address.
9. Checked mail with Mac Mail and signature fails.
10. Check with 1.02 Thunderbird and it comes back with valid digital signature.
Next, I sent a test email to my Exchange account from Entourage and that message verifies fine. It just seems to not work when I check my email with Mac Mail.
Thanks!

How Does one fix this-"This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "My Email Address"

Hello Apple Community: I receive this message multiple times a day.
"This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "My Email Address" Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem.
After sighing into iCloud I can not find a problem.
Is this a Yosemite issue, because thats when the issue started?
Thanks for your help..

Yes, this is a constant problem for me as well. I have 2 Macs (iMac and old MacBook Pro) running Yosemite. I seem to only get this message on the iMac. I've tried logging out of ICloud on both and logging back in; the problem re-appears randomly. I also have no issue on IOS devices.
It's mainly annoying. I open the iCloud panel in System Preferences and it tends to go away.

This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with my email address Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"

I keep getting this message over and over and over.
This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with <my email address>
Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"
I go to IC Preferences but there is nothing I can fix there that is relative.
My outbox is no longer working in MAIL so I cannot email out. I have to use my wife's MBP to send emails.
I can get emails. I didn't change anything in m,ail preferences, so what is Apple doing to me?

I also have had this problem and see no resolution - signed out of my account and signed in again, did not get any resolution to the problem. done this twice. Is Apple addressing this? I thought that 10.10.1 would resolve this but found to my dismay that there has been no resolution. Each time I log out of iCloud and then sign in again, there is a time lag before all my files in iCloud become accessible so have stopped trying this remedy. I also have issues with iTunes where am asked for my password 4 times before I can log in. Would like to know if there is anything in the pipeline to remedy/rectify this problem. Issues with bad internet connectivity have improved but are still there. Wish Apple would spend some more time in testing and resolving issues before releasing new software.

Hi my name is Hajk and i got a friend that has a problem with her macbook, she gets a blue screen and cant log on. So i told her if she had an reinstall disk so that i could reinstall for her but she didn't get one with the macbook. what can she do ?

If this is a fairly new Mac running either v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion she can use Lion or Mountain Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.

Having the same problem with Adobe Story. Getting a warning that says "Failed to get user preference

Having the same problem with Adobe Story. Getting a warning that says "Failed to get user preferences, lost the internet connection." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Phone support was useless

Yes, me, just now! I was thinking it was because I am on a brand new computer and I did something wrong when I put itunes on it. But now I am thinking it is an itunes issue, not mine.

Problems with incoming emails

After going through tons of support discussions and trying all that i could i would like to ask your help guys.
As header suggests im having problems with incoming emails on mac mail (4.6) (outgoing mails are working perfectly)
Yesterday evening i noticed that i cant receive emails (wheel just kept spinning without downloading anything but webmail and my phone mail app show that there are tons of unread emails)
Today around 10AM it worked for second (after messing around with settings (which i did not touched again) but when came back from lunch --- ***** not working again)
I checked that i have correct incoming & outgoing server names, correct passwords and all other settings like SSL (port995) are ok.
Confirmed from my Email Service Provider that their servers, my quota etc are working propperly
Mac mail Connection doctor does not show any red lights so it is ok
Someone said that "unable to load" can be caused by "corrupted" email and i should Rebuild my mailbox to see if if might show what message is f*** up. => did that and it just stays in "Fetching new email" and below reads "preparing to retrieve messages" and again nothing.
I tried to make new account in Mac mail client and it is not helping ... same thing Nothing.
I tried to install thunderbird and create new account in there, got it to work for first time i tried but result was the same ... it only downloaded some messages and stopped working.
Previously when i used to launch mac mail app on my laptop it always asked "do you want to connect to this server bla bla bla" => click ok and it downloaded everything but now i dont even get that pop-up message. (i think it disappeared after making account in thunderbird client and clicking "always trust" which did not help as it is still not downloading)
I would really appreciate your help cos im going mad with this problem and i cant get any help from my ESP
PS. im using POP settings.
Thank you in advance!
Jimi

Just remembered that i took printscreen from thunderbirds error when first attempted to set up new account. And now when looking at this it is the same message that i got every time when launching mac mail client. But as said this error went away after clicking "allways trust" (it does show my ESP name and due date is sept.2013")
And error message was
"Mail cant varify the identity of "autodiscover."mydomain"......".
The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "autodiscover....."

Print problem with Yahoo email

Ever since upgrading to Safari Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11), I have had several different problems with printing emails. For the time being, let me ask here about only my AT&T Yahoo mail.
Here is the description of the problem in Yahoo. When I pull down the “Actions” menu to “Print Message,” I get this dialog box:
Print Error
There was a problem printing, most likely caused by a pop-up blocker. Please click Try Again.
Try Again
So I click the button labeled “Try Again,” and Safari opens the email in a new window with a “Print” tool in the upper left corner.
I click the “Print” tool. With multi-page emails, I like printing on both sides. I choose either,
Print Two-sided, or
Print either odd or even pages.
With the former option Safari prints one page of the email and stalls. With the latter Safari prints the whole series of selected pages and stalls. My printer (HP LaserJet Professional P1102w) refuses to print any more pages. I have to go into my printer’s application and stop the print job. Then I have to turn off the printer, wait a while for the machine to re-set, and turn it back on. Then I can print the remaining page or pages.
That’s inefficient. Is there some remedy to get Safari to print emails in Yahoo straight through?

Problems like that with Firefox printing look like they are fixed in Firefox 4.

AD account Login problem with MAC 10.6.8

Hi All,
We have around 50 odd MAC that are connected to windows server 2008 R2. the user were logining in to these MACs using their AD account. Recently few of the random MAC did not allow the user to login using their AD account.When analyzed though the MAC shows that it has connected to the Domain and the server is active with green button it has unbind itself from the server.I had to login in as local user bind the MAC back to get this resolved.
Now the same has started happeneing for most of the MAC that we have and every morning I have login as local Admin and unbind / bind the MAC with the server. this gets reset once the user reboots or shutsdown.
Have tried with few of the below solution but nothing helped:
Solution 1:
<key>mdns_timeout</key>
<integer>2</integer>
The integer value is in seconds; changing it to at least 5 should allow the Mac OS X client to reconnect to the Active Directory domain after a network interruption. In some configurations, a larger timeout value may be required.
You can change this value by using the sudo command and a text editor to edit the preference file directly. Or you can use the Terminal command below, making sure to enter it all on a single line:
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :mdns_timeout 5' /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
Solution 2:
I have seen all of the probable solutions and tried everything and still I am getting issues with 10.6.6 and after rebooting the Mac gets unbind. Or the Mac gets Network Accounts Available even when not accessing the list of users from AD. But the thing that I have done that has solved all my issues with AD on the Macs is to uncheck the box to search on all domains. For some reason I am seeing that when the Macs have this option checked, it searches through out the forest on the same domain controller more than once, so AD stops the handshaking of the authentication.
I hope this helps like it did on our Network, since then I have not seen the Macs lose the binding or slow SMB.
If you've tried this please let us know.
TIP: Uncheck Allow Authentication from any domain for Mac AD problems
Wednesday, April 20, 2011
Steven Wells sent a fix and an explanation of problems with Macs losing their binding to Active Diretory:
Unchecking "Allow authentication from any domain in the forest" is working at our college. We have been beating our heads on this for about 2 terms, with no understanding of why it works in some places and not in others. When we found this working, our IT guy said that the Security SID is being duplicated, when it looks in other domain forest, and that is what is causing the problem. This is the first time I have found an explanation for the problem.
If you've tried this approach please let us know.
Solution 3:
Solved it. Create a file in Textedit with the name 'auto_master' (no file extension) with the following contents:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
#/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
Place this in /etc/ folder
Hope this helps

TIP: a Kerberos fix for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 binding to Active directory
Friday, November 11, 2011
Mehdi Mafi forwarded a fix he found for problems with Leopard and Snow Leopard binding to Active Directory:
This was taken from Dane Riley's imaging building for DeployStudio.
With Mac OS X Leopard every Mac is now running a KDC (Kerberos Distribution Center). Basically each imaged machine is using the same security certificate and hash. Deploying a single image will deploy the same KDC to every system. This [Apple] article covers how to reset the local KDC so that each system is unique. Basically, do the following:
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
After deployment, perhaps using Apple Remote Desktop to all systems, re- establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
If you've tried this approach with Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or even Lion, please let us know. .
TIP: More on a kerberos fix for AD binding problems
Monday, November 14, 2011
Mehdi Mafi updated his Friday report about Mac OS X 10.6 problems binding to Active Directory:
You may want to add this. If the Mac keeps unbinding from AD (people can't log in to a Mac), here is how to fix it:
Unbind it from Domain
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
Re-establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
Bind it to domain again ( When you bind, uncheck allow authentication from any domain in the forest in: Directory Utilitiy-> Advanced Options\Administrative ) this fix the issue that sometimes it can' find AD under search space.
If you tried this please let us know.
Solution 5:
For Snow Leopard AD login issues, use upper case domain
Solution 6: for .local
To create this StartupItem, create the following directory as root:
/Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth
Then chown it to root:wheel and chmod it to 755. These must also be the owner/permissions on the two files it will contain, below:
Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/FixADAuth:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
date > /var/log/FixADAuth.log
n=0
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local; n=$(($n+1))
done
echo Authentication successful: $AuthSuccess >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log echo Operation count: $n >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
date >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/StartupParameters.plist:
Description = "Fixes Active Directory authentication issue";
Uses = ("Disks");
Obviously you'll need to change "middlewich.local" to your own domain name (and the network interface name if your connection is wireless). The script checks to see if it can see the user "Administrator" on the domain, as he's a fairly common bloke, but if you've renamed yours for security reasons then pick another one. I've also included some logging functionality for debug purposes, so you can verify how well the script is working if you need to and time it in your environment before telling the users how long to wait. The /var/log/FixADAuth.log file will contain the date/time the process started, the success variable set to 1 (just to verify), how many DNS operations were required to fix the problem, and the date/time it ended. For us the time difference is normally about +30-40 seconds with around 120-180 operations taking place. Once you're happy with the script, you can strip it down to its bare functionality if you like, like so for us:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local
done
I hope this helps someone!
Regards

You are welcome.
But the question is 10.6 mac just like 10.6.8 , as long as its the same and works.
Yes. You can save some updates by using the combo update.

Ongoing problem with newsletter-eMail-actions: CF is hanging

Hi forum-members, we have an ongoing problem with
newsletter-eMail-actions.
We use CFMX 7.02 Entperprise on Win 2003 Server. (between

The deep links into the shops are of the following structure:

In the highest hours we have between 80 and 200 current
users/connections
per second. We are running two HP 380, 3 GB, CF-Servers in a
static loadsharing.
From time to time CF gets unresponsive and I don't know why.
We use fusion reactor and there are no long running requests
from
what I have seen, when CF is hanging. There is nothing in the
logfiles which is obvious to what it could
be related what is casing it. Does anybody have any idea what
else to look into ? Uwe: confused;

Problem with IMAP email in E52

Hello,
I have that problem with the email on my E52 v034.001:
I am using my personal email (Gmail via IMAP) and it is working fine, on this one I am receiving few emails a day.
When I am trying to set up my company's email, all the settings are ok, receives emails and then just hangs up, frozes. Sometimes even for like 10 miutes! I can always click on "hang up" button, and it goes back to home screen, but then again it ignores me when i want to go to menu or email for at least 10-15minutes. Then I'm going back to email when it's fine, opening it, it connects and then after few seconds crashes again. Every time I go near email it crashes. I went to settings, i wanted to get my companys email preview on to my homescreen, i just higlighted "email" field and it crashed.
Tested couple of different emails (POP3, IMAP, Exchange) and all of them are working fine. It's this particular one which i am having problems with, and i have no idea why is it happening. My workmates are using blackberries and iphones and it's working fine for them.
Did any of you hear about something like that?

I can confirm that this bug was fixed with version 054.003 (15-Jan-2011).
