Recent email problems

Have recently notice when trying to send email it gives me an error message user name or password for smtp.att.yahoo.com is incorrect.
But I have checked and everything is correct.
It will place the email in my outbox and after trying 2 - 3 times it will finally send it without any problems. Is anyone else having the same problem? This has happened in the last two weeks maybe three at the most. I don't send many emails so I can't say as to how long it really has been acting up.

Certain maintenance is advisable. May not be necessary, but is advisable.

It's also a good idea to review Apple's installation and software updates advice to see if some minor change in your procedures could give you a better result.

  • Can't access recent Emails from mail tile in window 8.1

    Can't access recent Emails from mail tile in window 8.1.  Everything working fine until yesterday.  I can get my Emails by going to google Chrome and accessing my gmail but I like just hitting the mail tile in 8.1.  Also  is the start

  • Email problems with BB synched via BES. No email notifications and can't send replies.

    This isn't a question, but more of a public service announcement for those like myself that manage to screw up their email settings. I recently had problems with my email in that I would not get audible or visual notifications of new email and I couldn't send replies although I could forward and create new emails. The problem is that I am using Desktop Manager on two PCs and only one is configured to access my corporate email account, the one that is redirected to the BB. The default settings of my Desktop Manager installation was to synchronize the device date and time automatically when connected to the PC. Connecting my BB to my home machine would cause the email problems. I had to wipe and reactivate to fix my problems.
    So, if you want to use the BB on two PCs and one is not configured for the email account going to the phone... disable the auto synchronization option BEFORE connecting the device to that machine and launching Desktop Manager. It would also be nice if the Desktop Manager installer had an option to install on a PC that is used for backup/recovery and application loading only. The installer had two options IIRC and your choice was that the BB is used with BES or with a personal email account.

    Internally, your invites are processed by the server.
    If an outside sends a new invite to you, the server doesn't know about it until you add the event to your calendar app.
    You'll find settings in Mail and Calendar apps (depending on client OS) to automatically add invites to the Calendar.
    So to sum it up.
    Internal users, processed in real-time directly by the server
    External invites, must be processed by the client app, and depending on OS/Settings, could require manually adding or acknowleding. Also.. in 10.7/10.8 you will see an inbox tray in the Calendar app, your invites may show up there (and you'll need to click to ack)
    Hope that helps.

  • Another "duplicate email" problem.

    I asked the following question over on the Office 2013 forum and the only response I got basically told me to "go ask this on the Outlook forum", so here goes:
    "I too am experiencing rabid email duplication with Outlook 2013.  I've found a way to avoid the problem, and also a way to fairly reliably CAUSE it.  I'm posting in the hope that this will help Microsoft with information that will allow them
    to correct their buggy code.
    My configuration:
    LAN/Domain network running Server 2008 R2 and a 3rd party (not Microsoft) email server. (Code-Crafters Ability Mail Server). 
    Physical network is a mix of hard-wired Gigabit Cat6 and wireless (Ubiquiti Pico M2 HP).
    A mix of Windows workstations, desktops and laptops running a mix of XP-Pro, Vista Ultimate, Win 7 Pro, and 8.1 Pro.
    A mix of Outlook versions, the XP and Vista machines are mostly running Outlook 2003 (yeah, I know, it's ancient but it generally still works fine for these users and they hate change).  The 7 and 8.1 users are all on Outlooks 2013 (installed as Office
    2013 Professional Plus 2013).
    All of the users access their email on the OEM Ability server via IMAP. All users have at least "a couple" of sub-folders defined in their account and all use at least "some" Outlook rules to route some email at both receive and send
    time into various folders.  Some users have a lot of rules and folders, some have only a small handful.  These users also have external IMAP access to their email on the server via their Android phones, generally using the "Type" (formerly
    Bluemail) Android email client.
    Everything from the server down (including the email server and the domain controller)  is mine and under my direct control.
    What happens fairly consistently for a few users is this:
    If they have Outlook 2013 running on more than one workstation at the same time, eventually it will go insane duplicating a handful of emails, both in the inbox and in one or more of their folders, at the rate of once every few seconds.  They are also
    connected via their android phone when this happens.  All clients (all the Outlook instances and their phones) go nuts trying to send 'new mail' notifications out at a very rapid rate.  It's not possible to delete them fast enough to keep up, no
    matter how quick they are on the trigger.  The emails in question ARE in fact duplicates - everything about them including the header information matches - and they are "real" (the duplicate copies are also visible through the web interface
    directly into the email server), so I'm sure the duplication is not just inside the Outlook view of the user's email folder(s).
    Stopping all of the user's instances of Outlook stops the duplication.  Stopping just the android client does not.  If the user shuts down all his/her instances of Outlook and uses the webmail interface to delete all the duplicates (even the 'original'
    email) and then starts exactly ONE instance of Outlook 2013, things are fine.  Starting a second instance of Outlook 2013 on another machine (for the same user) will eventually cause the duplication to start again.  Sometimes immediately, sometimes
    not, but in my experience it has always started again within an hour of starting the second Outlook 2013 instance.  When it starts, the duplicated mail is the same as before - even though the user previously deleted all copies of it, they 'magically'
    start re-appearing.
    I'd really like for this to get fixed.  Now, before anyone replies, if you're going to just write "you shouldn't run multiple instances of Outlook for the same account from different machines",  don't.  I don't want to hear
    it and the reasons that some of my users want to do this are none of your concern.  If it's DOCUMENTED in official Microsoft documentation that this is not a supported action, then I want to see the reference myself.  Otherwise, keep it to yourself
    - thanks.
    Also, don't suggest that I delete and rebuild the user's email profiles and/or email accounts on the server.  Been there, done that (multiple times), it doesn't solve the problem.
    Dont' suggest that I ditch my existing email server and convert to something else (like Exchange). I happen to like my existing email server (and so do my users).  I've already worked this problem with their support structure fairly extensively and
    we're both satisfied that the problem is not being caused by their server code.
    Finally, don't tell me to run scanpst.  Also been there, done that (multiple times) and that too does not fix the problem, so either the problem is somewhere other than in a corrupted pst/ost file, or scanpst is too dumb to find and correct whatever
    corruption might exist.
    Having said all that, any insights into what's going on?"
    Another symptom, which may or may not be related that I'm seeing on one of the problem machines is that Outlook "sometimes" does not show recent email on the user's account.  The user can access his email account via direct web access into
    the email server and is able to see, sometimes, several days worth of email traffic that does not appear in Outlook (again, using an IMAP connection).  Trying various combinations of "send/receive" operations, "folder unsubscribe/subscribe"
    operations, even exiting and restarting Outlook all seem to complete with no errors, but also without retrieving the missing email from the server.  Sometimes "time goes by" and the user can restart Outlook and the email will appear, but
    I've not yet found a way to make it happen.

    Update:
    I've reading around the different posts and saw somewhere that it might help if i put my username and password in the outgoing mail section (where is says optional). I did that! I then shut off my wifi and tried to send mail using the edge network and it was sent successfully. I will try this when im away from home again. Hopefully this will work.

  • Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored

    Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored and updated firmware, deleted the account, anything I could think of, but it's just not accurately downloading the most recent emails.

    The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

  • How do I return to recent email after doing a search?

    How do I quickly return to recent mail again after doing a search in Mail?
    After I look at an old email I've found and click the "x" next to the search entry field to clear it, I'm returned back to the entire mail box at the point in time of that found email. I then have to scroll all the way to the top to see my recent email. And it could be a loooooong way up.
    Is there a quick way to get back to the top? Problem is the same on iPad, too.

    You're welcome! It's still a little awkward but I think it's the best way

  • Email problems and the incompetence of BT call cen...

    How come one can come on this forum and read threda after thread of people complaining about intermitant email problems yet when you ring the call centre you are fobed off with the usual excsue that it is your settings that are the problem.
    For me, it was only after wasting 30 minutes of my time, in which the memebr of the 'technical' team tried to look at my settings, this involved him entering the wrong information on several occasions and needing to be corrected by myself. That the person admitted that there had been a problem.
    What is interetsing is that I explained that i receive emails through my Ipad and sometimes collect by BT Yahoo, as well as my PC, none of which were working and all of which require the setting to lon on to the serever to be set individually, I also made it quite clear that was an intermitant problem, but that today it had lasted 8 hours. Yet still we went this through redicilous rigmorole of playing with the settings on my PC - why?
    The gentlemen then admitted there was a problem with BT yahoo, so very unimpressed I asked to speak to the complaints department. I was put through to a 'manager' and I use that term guardedly because he was no more competent then the first person I spoke to. He said that perhaps his colleugue had failed to check the system status recently, I suggest that he had not chceked it for at least 8 hours as that is how long my emial has been down today! This man then began the fob of speech, refusing to put me through to someone who would help and saying he had all the authority to help me, afetr several questions it became clear he had no authroity whatsoever, he could not talk about bills, he could even get me the details of the complaints department in Durham, apparently it deos not exist!
    Anyway I am sharing my story to see if anyone thinks that the call centre that BT farm their work out to are entirely incompetent and are seriously in need of some training, the first thing they need to do is actually listen to the customer and not begin the decision tree they think roughly addresses the problem.
    'ah email'
    step 1 - click 'email connection problem'
    step 2 - check settings
    It just might be that some of us do actually know what we are talking about, and have had experience setting up call centers so we know hoe they work.
    Please, please allow us to speak to people who will help us with our problem it is the only way you will retain customers in a competive telecommunications sector.  
    Just stop fobbing us off with the line, 'it must be your settings' but admit you have a problem and get it fixed!!
    Ironically as I type 'fixed' yet another 0x800ccc92 falshes up on screen, showing that my issues still remain unresolved.

    Hi Cross_Bug. 
    First of all i too know how frustrating it can be being put through to some one who is less than compitent with there job. However with the steps that they do it is required before they can use any other protocols so unfortunately you would just have to bare with them. 
    Second of all if you would like to write in to complaint about a certain product or service, then you can do so in writing to our corespondence center the adress is as follows; 
    BT Correspondence Centre
    Providence Row
    Durham
    DH98 1BT
    Other alternatives for complaints are e-mailing in through the website via webform. http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/5642,5645 They aim to give a reply within 24-48 hours of receiving the form and will aim to do so satisfactory. 
    I hope i have been informative and it aids into the problem being fixed for yourself.

  • Incoming email problem

    For one of my email accounts linked to my iPhone, an IMAP account, I am having problems receiving incoming emails.
    The mail app shows a new email has arrived and is unread but I cannot find the email itself. I know it is a recent email as I am emailing this account from other accounts I have.
    I have tried to narrow down the problem by trying different senders (I.e hotmail, gmail, work etc) but all have the same effect.
    When I log into the account on outitgoes.com I can view these unread emails fine.
    As the iPhone is showing unread emails I'm assuming the server is working fine and the problem is with iPhone settings??
    Please help as this is a business email I urgently need resolving.
    Thanks

    I've checked that and it doesn't appear in all inbox view either.
    The problem is similar to what others and I have faced in the past where the mail app eludes to unread email which cannot be located however in this instance there is actual new emails that are unread.

  • Nokia Email Problems and Version 10?

    Hi All Nokia People
    I have an E66 supplied by Vodafone UK.
    I run Nokia email which has been working fine up until the last couple of months.
    It is set to store emails up to 1 month, but recently it deleted all emails within a month and left a lot over a month old.
    Then it removed everything, and now after doing a software and reinstalling Nokia Email it will only store 3 days even though it is set to remove older than 1 month.
    Also I have seen version 10 for Symbian S60v5 is available, when will this be available for general download and more specifically my E66?

    Hi there.
    After dealing with every kind of email problems for about two weeks, I finally solved my issue.
    I was carefully watching the imap session logs to understand the problem. I realized all my sessions with my phone was unauthorized. It was stupid and impossible as I imported the server certificate to the phone... But, everything is buggy and possible.
    Ok, all my "suddenly stopped connecting", "oh does it support IMAP idle", "nothing is wrong with the great nokia, blame your server", "can't connect email", "does it support imap", "what's wrong with my pop account", "do i have to share my mail password with nokia through email.nokia.com", "what's the difference between native email support and nokia messaging" issues are gone with that.
    I deleted the certificate! Since you got it, it doesn't matter whether you delete the mailbox (account) on the phone or not. It stays in the security module of the phone. So, go and delete it first. Then, accept it again on your next connection...
    For my E55 device I went to:
    Menu -> Control Panel -> Settings -> General -> Security -> Certificate management -> Trusted site certificates
    and deleted the certificate for the server I typed for "incoming email server" when I set my account. You'll probably recognize the name of it.
    I hope this will help to many out there.

  • Limit recent emails on IOS7

    Hi, I just upgrade my Iphone 4s to IOS7. When I used IOS6 on the emails I could limit the recents emails to 50 or 100 or 200 etc. but on IOS7 I can´t find where I can setup this option.
    Does anyone kwos if is it available on IOS7 and where is it?
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem and it's also not possible to delete all emails in one go.
    Went to the apple geniuses in covent garden, apparently it is a huge bug, and they just told me to wait for an update. On an iphone4 looking to upgrade, but if the software has these huge mistakes maybe i should change systems??
    another problem is that the OTHER usage keeps growing even after deleting old emails (one by one) and clearing sms's, this phone is turning useless by software bugs.

  • Iphone email problem-has anyone had a problem caused by the VPN app, Hotspot Shield?

    Has anyone had an iPhone email problem associated with the VPN app, Hotspot Shield?

    I just want to make a record for the Apple Community. After installing Hotspot Shield on my iPhone 5, I developed a host of email problems including erratic reception and recurrent failures to send emails. I called Apple Support and, after standard repair measures failed (like deleting email accounts and reinstalling them) was advised to try deleting Hotspot Shield.
    Removal of Hotspot Shield was unexpectedly difficult (simple deletion of the icon that works with other Apps did not suffice). With the help of Apple Support, the Hotspot Shield app was finally eradicated. The result was that all the email problems disappeared.
    Again, I just wish to make this record of iPhone email trouble clearly caused by Hotspot Shield available in case someone else runs into the same problem. I did not contact Hotspot Shield but the point is that I began with an email problem that was mysterious to Apple Support and we finally traced it to a recent installation of Hotspot Shield.

    Google Apps users, please follow the default instructions unless otherwise noted, replacing 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain2 name.
    this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option?  The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED.  Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right?  Port 993 can  use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe.  Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD.  Should I have used external client cert TLS?
    Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

  • Hello! I have a macbook air and my apple ID is using my old email that I don't remember the password to. I want to switch it to my most recent email. How can I do this?

    Hello! I have a macbook air and my apple ID is using my old email that I don't remember the password to. I want to switch it to my most recent email. How can I do this?

    Change your old Apple ID using this link:
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Click the blue Manage your Apple ID button.
    Its password is unrelated to the password you use for the email associated with it.
    If you don't remember the Apple ID password, click the Reset your password link.
    I already have a new apply id that is set on my phone and ipad. I just want to switch it to that one...
    You cannot change your Apple ID to another one that is already in use - in this case, the one you created for your iPnone and iPad. Decide which Apple ID you want to keep. If you need to change it, change it - don't create a new one.

  • Is there a way to only import recent emails when I get an Iphone?

    I just got an Iphone last week and have spent countless hours trying to manually delete emails from my Gmail account from over a year ago that have imported to my Mail account with apple. I have all of my gmail emails automatically forwarded into the Mail application on my Mac, and I thought I set it up right with my Iphone so I still get all those emails set to the phone now. But I am getting emails from years ago sent, and it is just being a huge pain to delete all of them manually. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want to get to recent emails on the phone, and only those. Thanks in advance.
    Bill

    Bill,
    You should be able to change the POP access in your Gmail account for mail that arrives from now on. For more information on changing POP settings in your Gmail account, please check out this article on Gmail's support site:
