Problems with the mail server

I needed to adjust some of the mail settings in Server 10.5.8 because I had a client that was unable to access mail. In server Admin I selected mail and then clicked "Stop Mail." After the screen refresh, the "Stop Mail" button reappeared rather than "Start Mail." The status list shows Pop and IMAP shut down but lists SMTP incoming and outgoing as "shutting down." A restart failed to resolve the problem. I am not sure how to escape this "unholy" state. Any suggestions?

Look at your logs..
/var/log/system.log
/var/log/mail.log
/var/log/mail_access.log

HT4864 I am getting a triangle with an exclamation point next to my inbox...it says: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again. The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in

I can send but cannot recieve email
This is the messege I am gewtting:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailable

Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud. I have verified the settings. I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
Well, you get the idea …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

I never said that there was, perhaps you imagined it.

Has there been any problems with the mail server?

Has there been any problems with the mail server? I keep getting a notice of server failure.

Unfortunately the error message does not identify the specific server, I (as many folks do) have several, Mac, yahoo, google ect.

My mac mail is now offline. The pop up says There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account or try again. Any one know how to get my mail back on?

I down loaded the new free os x yosemite today and now my mail is offline. Several pop ups that say there is no connection.
Verify the settings for account or try again.
The server returned the error: The certificate for this server is invalid.
I have not changed a thing and now I have no emails coming or going. Since it is my communication line to many of my clients, I am in need of some answers asap.
Thank you.

I recently have been trying to find out why my email won't go online. A window pops up stating The identity of "pop.qwestoffice.net" cannot be verified. The certificate for this server is invalid. You may be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "pop.qwestoffice.net" putting information at risk. It asks to connect anyway? Anyone out there have a clue? I am losing my contacts with my clients.

Intermittent proxy error "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server "

Hi all,
From time to time (at least once a day), the following message pops up on the user's screen:
"There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server . Error Code 80000000)."
If we click "OK" it goes away and everything continues to work although sometimes Outlook disconnects. It is quite annoying...
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
For the security alert issue, I'd like to recommend you check the name in the alert windows, and confirm if the name is in your certificate.
Additionally, to narrow down the cause, when the Outlook client cannot connect again, I recommand you firstly check the connectivity by using Test E-mail AutoConfiguration. For more information, you can refe to the following article:

There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target site "Mailserver"

Good day Guys
First of all I am not an Exchange Expert, and I might be asking a very stupid question, but please bare with me. :)
While I was on leave our Mail server fell over and The company got a Specialist to help out for the time being.
We where\are on Microsoft Exchange 2007 , which Fell over, and the specialist was able to recover as much data as he could.
They then installed Exchange 2013 and tried to migrate everything from 2007 to 2013 and not everything migrated over.
But the problem is, Outlook Anywhere was enable on 2007 and worked a 100% (before the disaster)
With Exchange 2013 I get the following error message when trying to connect With Outlook 2013, using an external connection:
"There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target site "Mailserver"
Outlook is unable to connect to the Proxy server. (Error Code 0)"
Has anyone had the Similar when migrating over from 2007 to 2013 or is this an Issue on IIS and nothing to do with Exchange migration?
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Firstly, I would suggest we use Exchange 2013 FE as the Outlook Anywhere proxy server.
For the certificate issue, it mostly occurs because the host name that Outlook are trying to access does not match the certificate SAN. Please check with this point. If they do not match, you
can change the host name by referring to the following article:

Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) - but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into
and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there. This is what Barney previously posted about that:

Problem with the new server UCS C220 for set IP to CIMC

Hi
We’ve a problem with the new server UCS C220.
We bought two servers UCS C220 M3 for CallManager 8.6 with High Availability.
When we turn on the server during the boot and when it tells us, oppress F8 to enter at the CIMC and set the IP. But it never enters at the CIMC.
Then, we configure our DHCP server and our switch, we connect the three gigabyte ports to our switch to give him an IP to the CIMC, so and then can enter via browser, but neither works.
Note. The dedicated management NIC does not link, the other two ports do make link.
What do you suggest to put an IP to CIMC and start installing our applications?
regards

You may have noticed that there is no DVD rom on the c220. What you need to do is:
Login into the CIMC from your browser
Luanch the KVM
Insert the VMware DVD in your machines drive
On the KVM pop up there should be a tab to mount the drive, after mounting it click on Macros and choose ctrl_alt+delete to restart.
After the VMware OS installs press F2 to enter IP.
Browse to the VMware ip to download the Vsphere client
Open the Vsphere client, enter the ip of the vmware and the username will be root and no password if you did not set one.
You can now upload OVA templates or manually create virtua machine from this enviroment.
Hope this help

Problem with the "mail me" button

Since I installed both Iweb 09 and Snow Leopard, there is a problem with the "mail me" buttons on my websites. Nothing happens when i click on it even if i see my web adress when my cursor is on the button.
Do somebody had the same problem and do you know how to avoid it.
Thanks a lot

I checked your site and found that the mail me button was not overlapping or touching any other object and positioned entirely in the footer of the page. All looks good and it works for me. You might try moving the button, logo and counter to the bottom of the page content section, publish and see if that makes a difference for those computers that can't.
Try the following on your Macbook, open Safari, clear the cache (CommandOptionE), load your site and try again. If that makes it work for your MB tell your friends to clear their caches and try again. Might be something as simple as that.

Can the problems with the Cirrus server cause this

Hello,
We are have been developing an application using the Cirrus server for two months now and today we are having difficulties with the Netconnection.call method which we use to call the OnRelay method on the other peer. When a peer invokes the call method on his netconnection the OnRelay on the peer is called some of the time (so it is really unreliable).
We are curious whether this could be related to the recent problems with the Cirrus server? If not, what could be a reason the calls are working only some of the time?
regards,
Kevin

while the problems with our hosting provider are not yet resolved, the cluster should be operating nominally. that should include the proper and relatively reliable functioning of the relay/onRelay function.
note that relay/onRelay is rate limited to about 1 relay every 2 seconds (approximated with a sliding window and about 10 relays every 20 seconds). this rate limit is in place because the relay/onRelay function is expensive to provide and a developer was abusing it. the limit is implemented by dropping relay requests for a time if the rate exceeds the limit point. the limit is per sender NetConnection.

HT4864 problems with iCloud mail server on the mail, but it does not fix it when I put the password in, keeps asking me for password. When I go into iCloud to access it from safari, it accesses the icloud fine with my password. I have reset all the settin

I am running os x 10.7.5, on a macbk, I have been using all the apps fine and not changed anything or run any software updates, suddenly my mail dows not think it can connect with the outgoing server for icloud and requests my password, which I give, but it repeatedly asks again and again. I have tried re-setting all the mail for icloud up again, and it thinks its ok, except the box keeps flagging up can't access outgoing server. I have checked it all a number of times, and I can access the icloud stuff including mail from http when I log in there. Anyone know why my mac will not accept my icloud password? suddenly I cannot get any icloud mail in or out, but I changed nothing. Why does it do this and why can't i fix it?

No carrier "automatically" unlocks at end of contract - many won't do it at all, even if requested. I don't know what your carrier's policy is since you didn't say what country you're in.
However, if I understand you correctly, you didn't change carriers so it doesn't matter if it was unlocked or not. Try the following steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons for at least 19 seconds until the Apple logo appears
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
4. Replace SIM card (don't care what Telstra says)
5. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup
6. Take phone to Apple.

No conection with the mail server after update to 10.4.7

I'm already loosing my head!!
I've updated to 10.4.7 and after appeared a dialog box message. link of the message in portuguese (http://rapidshare.de/files/26407351/mail.tiff.html)

*Aply *don't aply
So after this my mail loosed the connection with any server, I can't connect any account with the mail, but using Thunderbird it work okay.
Somebody help me!!
Thanks in advance.

Don't panic, or you'll end up making things worse (if you haven't already).
The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update has introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". If that's the problem, you must go to System Preferences > Network and disable the SOCKS Proxy in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet, if it's enabled.

I am trying to re-set up my email account on my ipad (1st generation) but am having problems. The mail server is a private one associated with my domain name and it has worked before on this ipad and is currently working on a Nexus 7 tablet.

The setup on the Nexus tablet asks for port numbers for both incoming and outgoing mail, but the email setup on the ipad does not ask for port numbers. Am I supposed to be inputting the port numbers by inserting them after a colon followed by the port numbers in both the incoming and outgoing mail server fields or is there something else I am doing wrong?

Hey Garlicdaisy,
Thank you for the follow up.
With iCloud, you can have iTunes automatically download new music purchases to all your devices the moment you tap Buy. You can also access past music, movie, and TV show purchases from any of your devices — wirelessly and without syncing.
For more information, see the following:
Apple - iCloud - All your music on all your devices.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/itunes-in-the-cloud/
To download past purchases on your devices, follow these steps:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you want the benefits of iTunes in the Cloud for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution:

Problem with outgoing mail server

Hello,
I use Mac Mail on my Mac Book Pro with my yahoo.fr email address.
For 3 days, the outgoing mail server is offline, and I have no idea why. (The incoming mails: no problem).
I checked the name of the server smtp.mail.yahoo.fr, changed my password, but it remains offline.
Has anyone a solution...? Thx a lot for your help!!

My imac is the same. However if I access my mail the old fashioned way.......go to safari...yahoo...mail...then I get in and all is ok, so I don't think Yahoo are the problem here. Loads of Apple users seem to have this problem, but no one seems to be able to sort it out, maybe when everyone goes back to a cheaper pc Apple will listen.
