Setting Incoming server for Mail

When I add an account in Mail, I no longer get the drop-down to enter incoming and outgoing servers. What do I do?

The incoming mail server is pop.att.yahoo.com
Use POP3, port 995, with SSL enabled.
When prompted for a username, enter your full email address.

How do we set the incoming server on mail set up as it is grayed out?

Hi we are setting up an icloud email account, but we are unable to type in the incoming server field, how do we access this field?

You indicate that you are using OS X Lion. To set up iCloud mail, just open System Preferences > iCloud and tick Mail, so your mail account will be set up automatically on Mail

Optimum server for mail apparently played havoc with my iMac mail app, kicking my Opt mail offline . Three hours on phone with both. Appears to be Optimum service issue. Had to restore all my mail preferences in Apple app to set that right. Working today

Last night, my Mac Mail app showed Optimum and gmail as offline and first I couldn't send any mail, then stopped receiving. Could sign in at Optimum server, but then that stopped responding. Was on the phone 4 hours, twice with Apple, twice with Optimum. Optimum maintained it was an Apple problem, but had me change my setup for mail in Mail App preferences on my Mac. Got it working and few mintues later out again. I called Apple again. We reset the preferences in mail app and agreed it was the Optimum Server causing problems.
This morning, I couldn't sign in to optimum webmail. Just testing it out, yet I could send mail from my mail apps, mobile and Mac. I didn't get mail that was sent to me last night but seems now it is working again and my preferences in Apple app, are as Apple set or reset them to work with Optimum.
Anyone else have this problem.

Oh yes. Optimum ended by saying. Apple will have to create an App update to Mail to have things work right between them. I don't think so. Optimum's server wouldn't let me sign in this morning at all...even though I mostly use app not the server. Kept redirecting me to Sign-in page . Then an hour later, I could sign in with no problems.
Just be careful about having Optimum change too much over the phone in your Apple mail app preferences. I know Apple and I made a few with ports..and password dropdown. Optimum told me to set it to NONE for password, and that worked for a few minutes, then stopped. This is n Optimum issue , IMHO.
I trust Apple Express support more than I trust Optimum support. The second person I spoke to at Optimum said these complaints about Macs and Optimum and Mac mail app have just been coming in this week. They are aware of it, but I see this isn't the first time this has happened.
Also, since Optimum is still a POP3 server, my e-mails that I delete keep coming back for a few days, on my mobile devices.

DNS/web-server hosted off-site. How to set up Leopard server for mail?

Hey Everyone,
Brand new xserve with leopard server 10.5.2. Currently, Our web and DNS server for our domain,"company.com" is co-located off-site with an MX record of "mail.company.com" pointed at the static IP of the office where our mail server is. I want to replace the mail server with the xserve. With that in mind, how do I configure the DNS on the xserve during initial configuration to reflect that? Give it a self-referencing FQDN like server.company.office and see if the mail service can handle the domain hosted elsewhere?
I'm pretty new to servers and would love be able to keep this all in Standard but I'm not afraid to jump into Advanced if need be. I've created a test domain through GoDaddy of "company2.com" with an MX record of "mail.company2.com" pointing at the IP address of the xserve. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HT1338 where do I find what to put in the incoming server on Mail?

I can't get any of my mail from my @me.com account or even my gmail accout through Mail. I have deleted all but one email which I never use trying to get the stupid thing to work now I am trying to add my accounts back to Mail and I cant find what to put in the incoming server. I can't find where to find what to put there or anything of help or a bit useful. What the heck is the stupid thing and can I have it tattooed to my harddrive so I never have to look for it again?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Topher,
But..I tried that...It fixed the me.com but not the gmail or ymail I am not sure what the deal is. I am also having issues with my computer freezing up, weird icons (spotlight in the top right of the screen, a USA flag by the time and date) I Just got rid of the Flag by clicking on it and un checking the show icon box but I have done that everyday for weeks and it is just now taking it off the screen. I got rid of the spotlight bar by restarting my computer. Sometimes I cant even shut down my computer because Mail or Safari wont allow it even though I shut all the windows and even quit the apps.
Half the time It wont stay connected to the internet either... and when it does it runs so slow its mind numbing.
I am wondering if there is a trojan or something going on other than I cant figure out how to work Mail after using it for 4 years...O.o
Any ideas?

My incoming server on Mail is greyed out and I can't change it

I have a MacBook Air 1.6 GHz, which is three yars old and is running OS X Lion 10.7.5. Suddenly today, I can't downolad emails on Mail from my MobileMe email account, even though it is working fine on my iPhone and IPad. I looked at the account preferences and the incoming server field is blank and since itis grayed out, I can't fix it. Any ideas on how I can get it working again?
Actually, Mail on my computer has been rejecting passwrods on other email accounts too. I have to keep reentering them. Any idea what might be happening?
Thanks.

You're welcome. If it keeps happening you may need to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign out of your account entirely, choosing Delete at all of the prompts, then restart your Mac and sign back in. This will delete the account and your iCloud data from your Mac but not from iCloud. Your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in, after a brief delay as it downloads.

Problem in setting application server for technical system

Hi all,
While I was trying to set the application server and message server for an already existing technical system in the SLD,I dont get the option the option for adding a new application server or changing an existing application server.Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks and Regards
Jishi

Hi,
for changing - did you try the "Content Maintenance" on SLD Homepage? It is Subset: Landscape Description and I guess Class "BC Application Server"
For adding a second application server - go to the technical system, scroll down and press "Add" secondary application server.
Good luck, Holger

My iPad won't connect to a server for mail only. This happened after my update to 7.02 update to 7.02

MY iPad mini cannot connect to the server for Yahoo! email. I am able to access internet and Facebook. This connection error came after an upgrade to 7.02. Has anyone else had this issue? Have you been able to resolve it? I have checked all my account info, deleted and re-entered my account, rebooted my iPad. Nothing has helped.

Is your iPad jailbroken?

Setting up outgoing server for Mail

I have a business email account--thru yahho smal biz--and can receive mail. I cannot send mail. I've tried setting up mail.mac.com, smtp.gmail.com and neither works.

You can configure Hotmail to work on the iPhone. It's working great on mine!! You have to upgrade to a Hotmail Plus account (although, apparently they will be offering POP3 on free accounts, as well, sometime within the next year). It sounds like POP3 on the paid Hotmail accounts is something that was just "officially" enabled last week. I found an official announcement from one of the Lead PMs for Hotmail - take a look, here:
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!44348.entry
I just upgraded my Hotmail account to Hotmail Plus yesterday and now my mail works from my iPhone (it was not working yesterday before I upgraded my account). Here are the iPhone mail settings I am using successfully (the email addresses and passwords are just examples, of course):
Account: On
*Account Information:*
Name: John Smith (note: enter your own name)
Address: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Description: Hotmail
*Incoming Mail Server:*
Host Name: pop3.live.com
User Name: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Password: password (note: enter your Hotmail password)
*Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):*
Host Name: smtp.live.com
User Name: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Password: password (note: enter your Hotmail password)
*Advanced Settings:*
Incoming Uses SSL: On
Outgoing Uses SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Delete from Server: When removed from Inbox (or your preferred option)
That's it - I hope everything works for you, as well. Good luck!

Setting SMTP Server for POP Acct in Mail

I can't seem to set the smtp server properly in an account for my personal (cf business) email -- this one's a pop server. I keep getting a rejection message, and the smtp server line in the setup window reads something like "server offline." My business email (Exchange) works fine.
Suggestions re what I may be doing wrong?

Did you happen remove that account then recreate it?
If so, there's a slight bug in Mail:
Removing an account In Mail Preferences / Accounts, it does NOT remove the corresponding entry in the SMTP server list window. This SMTP server list window is found- ACCOUNT INFORMATION / Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): pull-down window "Edit SMTP Server List" and you'll find the removed account's SMTP server information.
Recreating the same account, Mail would crash every time. Recreating the same account is only possible after editing and removing the SMTP server from the list.
Removing an account would remove the account and related mail boxes okay, but not the SMTP Server List.
So, try removing the account, and also remove the corresponding entry in the SMTP server list (described above... click the - symbol on the bottom of the window ), then recreate it.

Assuming you are using Apache?
You could place your Word docs in the same folder as your current Apex images directory (or a sub-directory off it) then reference them with a URL of the form http://yourserver/i/sample_word_file.doc. Alternatively you could add a new Alias entry to your dads.conf file (found in your Apache/modplsql/conf directory) to expose the folder on your webserver that contains your Word files via a URL such as http://yourserver/word_docs/
E.g.
Alias /word_docs/ "c:\my_docs\technical_word_docs/"

Setting content server for storing PPM documents

Hi Folks,
We have followed the steps outlined the PPM config doc for setting up the content server (pages 117). Summary of the steps are shown below. (We are on PPM5.0)
Creating a Content Server Entry
1. In Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under Application Server Basis Services
Knowledge Provider Content Management Service Define Content
Repositories , choose Content Repository Display/Change .
2. Choose Content Repository Create .
3. Enter a name and a description for the content server.
4. Enter CFF in the Document Area field and HTTP in the Storage Type field.
Creating a Storage Category for a Repository
1. In Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under Application Server Basis Services
Knowledge Provider Content Management Service Define Content Categories
, choose New entries.
2. Enter a name and description, and then enter CFF in the Document Area field.
3. Enter the name of the newly-created content repository in the Content Repository
field.
Setting the new Content Server as the Default Storage Category
1. Choose transaction DMWB.
2. Choose model area CFF in the tree.
3. Navigate to PHIO-classes, node CFF_VERSION_V.
4. Change the standard attribute STORAGE_CATEGORY from CFFCONTENT to the
category you have defined above.
5. Repeat this for node CFF_ADD_FILES_V and for CFF_VERS in node
CFF_VERSION_V.
After doing the above steps I did the following tests.
1. Tried to access documents stored at the portfolio item level before doing the above content server config. I was able to access the documents which leads me to believe that files are still getting stored in the DB.
2. Checked the table CFF_CONT before and after storing a 1kb file and the number of entries increased by 2, which again leads me to believe the file is not stored in the content server.
Appreciate any input on whether we have followed the correct steps and if there is a better way check if files are actually being stored in the content server.
Thanks,
Lashan

Hi Lashan,
I didn't same steps as you explain in your first post but it isn't working.
Why didn't it work for you when you posted your 1st post, and now is is working? Is there some installation or Add-on that we need you have? Is there any Basis system parameters that we need to put?
thanks in advance,

What ports to forward to server for mail to function correctly?

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion form lion and am experiencing a MAIL issue (FAILURE)
I beleive I need to restablish or open ports on my router but the common ones don't seem to be doing the trick for users using Outlook. I have the Apple document that talks about the most common used ports but my Netgear router limits me to 20 so I need to narrow down the selction a bit.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Right now, these are the ports being forwarded: (and yes, many can be eliminated)

Regarding Outlook. Can it receive, send or neither?
If the problem is sending, two things to look at.
- You are configured for port 587 which is TLS.
In outlook, select TLS (not SSL)
I prefer to enable port 465 which is SSL, this plays well with outlook.
To do so, you need to edit
     /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/master.cf
Look for these lines
#465      inet n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
# -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
# -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
# -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
# -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
Uncomment them all. DO NOT remove the space before the -o (its required)
Then issue
sudo postfix reload
Make sure 465 is open in your router
Retry Outlook
587 = TLS
465 = SSL
- Look at your smtp logs, do you see helo errors when you try to send from Outlook?
If so, do this (good idea to do this for ANY installation)
edit
     /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf
Find
smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname reject_invalid_helo_hostname
Change to:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworkseject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname reject_invalid_helo_hostname
Then issue
sudo postfix reload
If this doesn't solve the issue.
Please post whether this is a receiving or sending problem.
If receiving, post output of mailaccess.log(imap) log when you attempt to pickup mail
If sending, post output of your mail.log(smtp) when you try to send.

Setting default browser for Mail's contextual menu items

I use Firefox as my default browser. In "Safari>General>Default Web Browser" I have it set to Firefox and URL links within Mail trigger Firefox as expected.
However, if I right-click within an email message on some text and select 'Search in Google' it opens in Safari regardless of the default browser indicated in the Safari preferences.
Anybody know how to fix this? It's very annoying.
Dual 2.0 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello,
I have been searching for the cause of this failure, but have not found much. It may relate to some problems with Contextual Menu Items, discussed within the article at the link below, but I do not know for sure:
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/05/28/cm_pt1.html
and may relate to some incompleteness in Firefox, rather than OSX, per se. The contextual menu items are separate from the default preferences, I believe.
Btw, while I like some aspects of a Google search with Firefox, the fact that PDF links are downloaded, rather than opened in the browser, make me prefer Safari for searches. Perhaps there is a preference to cure this problem, but I have not looked very hard for it.
