Some mail accounts stopped getting mail and POP access is down
I think my head is spinning so fast trying to deal with this issue I can't see straight any longer. Here's the deal...
Symptom: Mail is received by 2 users out of 6. They all used to get mail but the 3 newest ones stopped getting mail.
At one point I thought it was some sort of spam filter because it looked like it would not get mail from a particular domain (@my.simulscribe.com). I looked around and couldn't find anything that could be blocking it though. We do have a Barracuda Spam firewall but nothing in there looks like it even deals with this server at all. I could be wrong or looking in the wrong place.
*What I've tried* : I went through the setup once again and looked for anything out of place. Of course I didn't identify anything but I'm not going to pretend to be an expert either.
I've become very confused by the server names, alias, etc. I can no longer determine what's what or what's wrong. One account does still gets and sends mail but only when using the internal IP address. POP isn't working (used to).
*What hasn't worked:* Well of course everything i've tried hasn't worked. The list is long and it includes burning sage and an exorcism.
So here's the bottom line. I need to get mail working to the accounts:
website: www.kognizen.com
sbradr
sbtraf
sbcan
I have a word document with all the screen captures I think are useful. I can send this to anyone that needs it. I'm ready to do whatever it takes including paying somebody to get in a fix this thing for me! Any suggestions?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -
Hello, iam using the latest version of firefox, whenever i login into my yahoo mail account i get a stop script error, the details of the error script is mentioned below , please suggest how to stop this
the website is www.mail.yahoo.com. i was getting the same STOP script error every now and then in firefox 6 as wellI have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6. -

IMAP EMAIL stopped getting mail on iPhone 5
Just got my new iPHone 5. Set up 2 email accounts - icloud and another IMAP server. Both accounts were working just fine. Recently the one IMAP account stopped getting new email. It looks like it is trying to connect to get the email, in fact it even tells me it has email ready to load but nothing comes across. It just appears to keep trying to connect and get email.
I have no issue getting my email via web browser or with my Apple Mail application. I have tried to delete the account and reinstall several times and have even deleted all the data and reset the phone and started fresh - still having the same issue.
Any Thoughts?WoolyLamb did you ever find a solution?
I too am using an iphone5 verizon carrier, with a register.com email address.
Was using IMAP for years with no problem and just in the last month or two
been getting the same message:
CANNOT GET MAIL
the mail server "mail.xxxxxxx.com is not responding.
Verify that you have entered the correct account into in Mail settings.
PS - I have no problem at all on my computers where I use the same setup! -
Stop getting mail, but keep sending
I have an IMAP account that I want to stop getting mail from, but still send mail from. How can I do this?
Hello,
In addition to not checking for new mail automatically, take the account Offline -- Mailbox/Online Status/Take Offline/choose account.
Of course, you can also create New Mailboxes, and transfer the messages there, if you will never receive or send with this account. Btw, taking an account Offline, does not prevent sending with that address.

I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
sounds like a corrupt database or index
the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.

I have a Yahoo Account. When I set up the mail account the Bulk Mail, Deleted Messages, Draft, Drafts, Junk, Sent, and Sent Messages appear on all of my iPhones, my PC, my Macbook and any other wifi product that receives mail. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these duplicate mailbox folders??
ThanksI just called apple care to even know how to respond to this answer. I am very old and this was my first post ever. I appreciate you taking the time to give me an answer. I also ask them how to delete this account because every time I log in it wants me to change my password and I have run out of passwords. I don't even know what it means when it ask me the community I want to be in.
The only thing I know about syncing is syncing my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I apologize that I am so technically stupid. Does mail have syncing???
Thank you even if I never figure out how to get back to this site again. -

i need to change my iCloud e-mail to my new e-mail because my old e-mail account has been deleted and i haven't been using it for a while.
my new e-mail is my apple ID but my iCloud one wont change over.If the old ID ("email address") is an earlier version of your current ID, try temporarily recreating the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Mail account deleted but mail keeps asking me to put in password
I have deleted a prior pop mail account from my mail program. Even though this account does not show up as one of my accounts in the preferences window the mail program keeps asking me to put in my password for the account. The server for this account doesn't even exist anymore. Any thoughts on how to get Mail to quit doing this? I'm using an iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and OS 10.7.5.
The server is probably still in your Outgoing Server list. See this thread:
