Recent mail from POP acct server is not retained in mail app

In recent weeks (maybe months) iPhone email appears to be acting differently with my POP accounts. All POP accounts keep the mail on the server until deleted on a desktop. I have iPhone mail set to show last 100 emails. Emails are coming in and are usually (not always) shown on all four devices where POP clients download mail - including my iPhone. What has changed is that when an email is more than 100 emails back in the que - even though it is still in desktop Outlook and my MacBook Pro Mail inbox an on the server - it no longer appears in the iPhone inbox, it does not load from the server when I select load more, it cannot be found in an iPhone email search which searches the phone and server. It has simply disappeared from the iPhone email app even though it still exists on the (Yahoo Bizmail) server and in all other POP accounts. This is not the behavior of the Mail App before 6.x, even though all settings are the same including do not remove from server. Anybody else having this problem?

POP will do weird things like this. That's why POP should be avoided if it can. I would contact the email provider to see if they support IMAP. Using POP on device should resolve this issue.
Below is great Apple resource that explains about using POP on multiple devices and how it can cause issues.

I hope this helps!

Not to reguest classes from the codebase server if not found in archive?

i am not sure but i recall since 1.6 there is some applet tag parameter to switch off class/resource retrival from the codebase server after looking in the archive jar...
i.e. i do not want my browser to flood my www server with small reguests since the appled in fact does not need anything but the jar file content...
what is this parameter?

i've recovered it :)

Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 do not play the audio. Can hear audio on camera or downloading same files to a PC. Also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid problem & recover lost audio?

Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 to iMovie '11 do not play the audio. I can still hear audio on the camera or by downloading the same files to a PC. Can also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from the same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid this problemand recover lthe ost audio?

The first thing to try is to run Software Update (the Update tab in the Mac App Store.). This was an issue a couple of releases ago, and an update seemed to fix it.
If you are already at the most recent version of iMovie, then I don't know how to solve you issue. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.

Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. Now EOS Utility app does not work.

Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. Tried downloading photos from my 5D Mark II, but EOS Utility app does not work to Select Images to Download, unlike before. But when I disconnected my External Hard Drive, EOS Utility app main window works normally. I need the external hard drive connected all the time. How can I fix this problem, please? Thanks.

This sounds like a hardware problem with your computer. A USB port puts out a certain amount of power and can be used to power external devices... such as hard drives. But the camera does not use any USB power -- it runs on the power from the internal battery. It only uses the data pins to communicate. But you are describing a situation in which having one device connected a to a USB port prevents a different USB port from working. That can happen if the device in one port is drawing too much power (it can prevent other ports from working correctly.) Did you have this problem when using Windows 7?

Missing messages and other recent Mail.app quirks

HI,
Although I've read through many post on this issue, I haven't found one that seems to apply to my situation. And, the process seems really confusing... so I thought I'd ask you guy's.
I rebuilt my inbox's last night, and:
1. 1 of my 2 POP inbox's is now empty (except for a couple new mails today). There were about 150 messages.
2. My .mac inbox is receiving mails, but first the little spinner thing wouldn't stop spinning, and has switched to a blue clock looking thing that's stuck at about 10:30 (may have moved to 11:00 now?).
3. Drafts don't seem to be saving.
4. Seems that the audio feedback is gone or was gone (the sound is up and the speakers to work).
5. I was getting a strange error message when sending that I didn't write down (something to do with the Trash and 0 space or something).
I've been on this new machine (OS 10.4.5) since November with no Mail.app (2.0.7) trouble at all (I moved from a TiBook that had once had Panther on it). And, I didn't let this last Security update install. I had been trying to resolve some POP SMTP server issues, but went with .mac with the "reply to" option (I'm stuck in a hotel in southern China), and I did lose one email that I had just sent... which prompted the rebuild of the mailbox's. Still can't find that missing email- but I did get a reply from the person I sent it to.
There weren't many messages in that now empty inbox, but they were the important ones (which I think I located in Library > Mail folder thanks to you folks).
I can survive with issues 2 - 5 above if necessary, but I'd really like to deal with the missing message problem.
Should I just "import mailbox's" back in and hope it all works? Will I lose those new mails from today? Can you offer me any advice?
Sorry if I rambled on too much (too much spare time on a Sunday morning in China), and thank you in advance for any thoughts,
Guy

Guy,
Different answers for each file. The CachedData1 is a leftover file from an IMAP or .mac account -- Mail no longer uses that method of caching, so delete.
The two MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded are used with each POP account, and are still valid file types -- however, one of them should be modified each time you access your POP server -- check the dates modified again.
The two files named to begin with Incoming are leftovers, and probably must simply be deleted. They resulted in the mailbox where you found them when a message had been received (even if by transfer) and that mailbox was not opened prior to the conversion. In Panther, and earlier, these files would disappear when the mailbox was opened to view. It probably is only one or two messages -- the Incoming_Mail file can be read with TextEdit to confirm.
I think the Envelope Index Journal results during an incomplete indexing attempt Mail has made at some point, was meant to be temporary -- I am not entirely sure about this, but I do not have one.
The time out on port zero is one I need to research -- although I have seen a few reports, and think there is some explanation, I cannot remember as I write this.
There is an ongoing issue with .mac and continuation of the indicator for activity -- I see this on my iBook G4, but not on my G5. Useless needed for Offline use, set Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced to Don't save all message and attachment for Offline viewing, which may help. I hope this one get addressed in some future update.

Outgoing server password not retained

I have configured my iPhone for 2 email accounts: gmail and OptOnline. According to my ISP (OptOnline), I must use their outgoing mail server. OK, no problem.
I configured my outgoing server to be the OptOnline server, along with my username and password and I'm able to send email.
The problem is that my password is not retained. So 10 minutes later, I cannot send email. When I look at the Advanced Mail settings, the Outgoing Server password field is blank. It should contain asterisks like the other password fields.
Any ideas?

You are not meant to see passwords. Usually the Outgoing password is the same as the Incoming.

Treo Pro Error Message 530 5.7.1 Relaying not allowed cannot send Email from pop acct

I just purchased the treo pro thru Sprint. I love the phone I just cant seem to figure out the proper settings for my outgoing POP Email acct. Every time I set up the settings properly and attempt to send an email I get an error message "530 5.7.1 Relaying not allowed". I get this message with the outgoing server set to smtp.sprintpcs.com and i receive this error message through an "undeliverable" Email in the same account I am attempting to send from. When I have the account set to my ISP's outgoing server mail.optonline.net it will only send email if I have my device set to WIFI mode..... Any ideas? Thanks.

P.s. I read in another posting where it advises to change the outgoing port # from 25 to 587. This sounds very familiar to me because when I recently set up my blackberry I believe cablevision advised me to do that exact modification. Now here is the million dollar question. How do you change the port #'s on the treo pro?
Try adding it to the server name, e.g.: smtp.provider.com:587

Mail IMAP from Gmail - smtp server does not work.

I have a question about the inner-workings of Gmail IMAP as it relates to sending mail on an outgoing smtp server. When I'm at school (high school), *I can only receive mail; I cannot send it*. I talked to my computer science teacher and he said the school restricts outgoing messages because apparently people can use the school's smtp server to send spam...or something along those lines. Anyway, connecting to Gmail directly works fine, but I also had a nice setup on some shared computers for other students (who are not computer-savvy) who needed to access a single email address. Is there a way around this (albeit minor) inconvenience? Can I set up Mail preferences to use a different port or something in order to avoid the smtp restriction? Not that big of a deal, but still somewhat perturbing (and I will go to great lengths to fix it lol). Tell me if this is doable/if you need more info.
Thanks!

Trying to move itunes from a network server but not succeeding. Help!

my work laptop is part of an exchange server network thing. I have to move my personal data from this network and so have experienced a few problems. Firstly when i moved the itunes files to my desktop away from the synched files in 'my documents' and 'my music' it deleted my whole library. I still had the files but everytime i tell itunes to add folders of music from their new location it still insists on putting the files back into 'my music' as well and thus back onto the server. I've changed the file location in the advanced settings to its new location on the desktop but its still doing the same thing. Can anyone help please?

1 Quit iTunes.
2 Copy the entire iTunes folder including music to the another location/external drive.
3 Restart iTunes holding (Shift-Windows, Option-Mac).
4 Select Choose library. Select the library in the folder you just moved.
5 Move the old iTunes folder to the trash but do not empty it.
6 Restart iTunes normally and verify the songs work. If they do, empty the trash.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Recently Thunderbird started popping up big yellow "notes" if I hover too long anywhere on the screen. How do I make it stop?

There must have been a recent update, and now when my cursor rests almost anywhere on the Thunderbird window, big yellow notes pop up, describing whatever I'm hovering over. I want to turn this feature off.
I wish I could get a screen shot, but whenever I try to, the pop up disappears.
I'm using a Mac, and version 24.6.0

Are you sure that you do not have an add on doing this? I am running ver. 24.6 on a PC and I have never seen this occur.
You can restart with add ons disabled under the Help menu.

Can print test pages from embedded web server., put not from windows

Hello,
I have a P1102w that worked perfectly through the last 5 month.
Two days ago it stopped printing anything for some reason. What happen is, when I print something, it spools, but then I get Error-Printing under the status when I double click the printer icon in the "devices and printers" manager of windows 7.
Right now I can see the printer in Ad Hoc. I can load the embedded web server,. And I can print test pages from the embedded web server.
However, if I tried to print test pages using the printer icon in "devices and printers" manager".. it doesnt print!
If I go to Devices and Printers -> Properties -> Advanced -> "Print directly to printer" -> Apply
I got an error box: "Printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000070c)."
The printer works fine when connected to other laptops (with exactly the same driver/setting)..
This problem is driving me crazy !
Thank you in advance for your help

Hi m-rasheed,
An ad-hoc connections is much more unstable than an infrustructure network using a router. At this point i would suggest getting a wireless router, and then connect the printer to your network through the router.

Can't email photos from iPhoto as server does not recognize user name or password

How can I fix this? I use MS office outlook for mac 2011 - I don't seem to have problems otherwise, or on iphone.

That's not the problem. If you have Apple Mail, you have to separately configure the passwords for iPhoto as well. Even though you have entered your email accounts and passwords properly in the email area, you have to re-enter the correct passwwords for all the email accounts registered under iPhoto/Preferences/Accounts; make sure to save each password, then close iPhoto and reopen it. Then you will be able to send the pix!!
Cheers,
Jim
