Server timed out on part 993

My wife and I have an iMac. I am the administrator. Her mail works just fine. I can neither mail out nor receive messages. In the Doctor window on my side is says server timed out on port 993. I have repaired permissions and reset the preferences and nothing has helped. Please help. I have a Leopard install disk if that would take care of my problem. Things look right under accounts on my side.
Thank you,
Carl

Do either you or your wife have any other accounts which use port 993? If not (ie, this is the only account which uses it, and it's not working for you), I'd suspect that your ISP may be blocking that port, which can happen.
Non-SSL email sends your username and password "in the clear" to your mail server. This means that, in theory, a man-in-the-middle attack (someone listening in on your traffic) could intercept and find your login information. SSL encrypts the login between you and your server. You should use SSL whenever your mail providers and ISP allow it.

    Hello Naila1,
    It sounds like you are unable to send emails, as they go straight to the outbox, but you can get the emails without issue. I recommend using the Connection Doctor to help you troubleshoot what is happening with the following article:

  • '408' error server timed out because of added software?

    i get a '408' error--server timed out when i try to download from iTunes--this is straight after installing legit rosetta stone software--a windows site mentions this as a possible cause--and the timing points to it--other songs downloaded--but pretty sure it stopped after the software finally got properly installed--any ideas? Thanks.

    You are welcome.
    There is a contact link if you want to try it.

  • Server Timed Out, Router not detected

    Ever since a heavy thunderstorm I have been unable to pick up wireless Internet on any of my wi-fi devices. I'm no longer able to access 192.168.1.1 through my Internet browser, when I tried to ping 192.168.1.1 it says Server Timed Out, and the LinkSys EasyLink Advisor program said my computer was unable to detect my router. Help?

    Marcar,
    its much easier for us to help if you give us a little detail. like the model & version of your device.
    anyway, a thunderstorm aye?? ake sure that the router's power light is not blinking, if it is reset the router.
    HOW TO RESET A ROUTER:
    with router turned on, push on the little reset button on the back of the router (beside the wan/internet port). hold that button for about 30 seconds and then release and then turn the router off. leave it of for 20 seconds.
    by then you can access the default IP of the router which is 192.168.1.1 (password: "admin").
    BTW: before you reset the router make sure you know how to reconfigure it back again to work with the modem for your internet connection.

  • I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND.  Tried many small email tests.  Server continues to leave time out message.  "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.

    I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND.  Tried many small email tests.  Server continues to leave time out message.  "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic."  Comcast tells me server is not down all other network activity is fine.  WHat's up with this?

    Starting earlier today, this also became my problem - can receive but not send in Entourage. The account settings are correct in Entourage - I even created a new account.  My Mac running 10.7.5 won't read the original Office : MAC 2008 disk, so I can't do a fix or reinstall from the disk.
    This is not an issue if I log onto the Comcast site.
    And so, I started using Mail but, unlike Entourage, Mail won't import my Entourage info.
    Argh...  :-(

  • Application Server Timed Out (-11) with Cmd=u0092log_offu0092&sap-sessioncmd=cancel

    Hi All,
    We are using a URL with Cmd=’log_off’&sap-sessioncmd=cancel&cmd=ldoc&template_id=myTemplate.
    Now whenever I click on a particular link which calls this URL and then immediately click on another link i get the following error:
    400 Session Timed out. Please log in again
    Application Server Timed Out (-11)
    I can't avoid using log_off as E-Portal is not doing automatic session management and thus i need to free memory every time i navigate from one template to the other.
    I've seen all the threads relaing to this, but I didn't find anything similar to my situation.
    Any thoughts??

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
