Somethin is going on with my MAIL!!

Good Afternoon (or noon in the US)
I am writting because these last 2 days i have been having problems with my mail!!I Can receive mails but i can't send them and i haven't touched anything in my mail!!If anyone could answer i would be very grateful!!
Thank you!!

Lafo,
try to duplicate the problem when you make a new User account on your Mac:
- open System Preferences, Accounts
- click the + sign and make a new User
- switch to the new user account (appears top right when you click on your user name)
- start Mail and enter your email account settings
- try sending a Mail
If this duplicates your problem, the Mail program itself maybe corrupt and you may need to re-install. You will find solutions for that on this forum.
If this does not duplicate your problem, the pref file in your user account may be damaged. Do the following:
Open Preferences from within the Mail program and note the exact settings for your email accounts.
Quit Mail
Trash the following file:
your home directory / Library / Preferences / com.apple.mail.plist
and empty the Trash
Restart Mail and enter your mail settings again

TS4002 what is going on with icloud mail??

mail has been down since 10:00 PM 9-10-12, what is going on???

This has been widely discussed, but obviously in the user-to-user forum no-one can possibly know what the issue is. Apple's status report simply states the bare facts:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
Given the time this has been going on it's obviously something pretty serious, and they're certainly working on it: but I'm afraid there isn't anything you can do except wait it out.

What is going on with Yahoo mail on iPhone?

I can't connect to ANY of my email accounts on my iphone, I keep getting the following error message: CANNOT GET MAIL The username or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect.
I have deleted the account from iPhone and rebuilt it, still it gives me the same error message.
I have added other NON Yahoo email accounts to the iPhone and they work fine. So I don't understand this crap at all.
Can someone help?
Thanks.

One last suggestion - have you tried checking date & time settings on the iPhone? Make sure they're correct and then retry the Yahoo! mail. I don't disagree that Yahoo! mail has had its fair share of problems, but I've seen this fix this error before. It might be worth a shot before you have to send out an email to everyone in your address book to update them on your email address.
Good luck!

HT1338 What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)? I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer. I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong). This has been going on for almost a week now.

The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
- connecting the iPad to your Mac
- selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
- selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

What is going on with mobile me? All I get is the find iphone screen and I can't switch apps to read mail.

What is going on with mobile me? All I get is the find iphone screen and I can't switch apps to read mail.

MobileMe is working partially, Apple says some users can't access to the web-apps (Mail, Calendar, etc.). In my case is working fine in my iPhone, in Outlook 2010, and I can only access the Mail app (Calendar and other functions are not working!).
Hope this gets fixed soon

HT5624 I have two mail accounts and one Icloud account. Thproblem is mail is going out with the incorrect sent from address. I deleted the mail accounts and added just one account back and mail still goes out with the incorrect from address and people res

My phone will not5 send from the correct address tht I want my mail sent from. Although my mail goes into the correct mail accout answeres leave with the incorrect sent from address.
I want to be able to send mail corectly.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Massive frustration with Apple Mail and POP accounts going offline

I love Apple mail. Best interface ever.
BUT... because of issues with Apple Mail, I've been forced to use Entourage.
I really want to use Apple Mail and hope someone here can help me with this.
I have two Yahoo business mail POP accounts that I need to have running for an online business I have. I keep Mail running all day and my .Mac IMAP account and a Comcast POP account stay up all the time.
But the two Yahoo accounts keep going offline. I get an Apple Mail message asking me to reenter my password. They won't stay up more than five minutes or so.
Over the course of a day, this is so irritating that, as I said, I've had to switch to Entourage, where the accounts stay connected all the time and work just fine.
I've scoured the forums here. Deleted .plists, added IP addresses, followed any suggestion that seemed plausible/ But no luck.
If Entourage works, Apple Mail, it seems to me, also should.
Can anyone help????

Speaking as one forced to use Entourage at work I can with confidence say in my case that they are different products serving different markets with different needs.
Apple did not drop the ball - the server is asking for re-authentication of a POP client. Any POP client should behave the same way. Yes, the client could just provide the credentials again, but it is safer to reequire the user to respond to the request.
That the request happens frequently is a function of the interrelationship between the DHCP lease life, client, and the mail host's response to new information.
Who is providing your DHCP lease?

TS3276 Well it happened again. Why does my apple me account stop sending mail for no apparent reason. One minute it is working find and 10 seconds latter you get error messages that it does not recognize your password. I am really fed up with the mail sof

Things were going well. Mail was working fine and then the following error message appears out of nowhere. I had not changed any settings. From that point on all efforts to send mail failed, and the error message appeared even thought I used the password to log back in after I quit. Now, an hour after the problem started it takes my password (on the second try after the error message appears) once and sends a test message. Then, one minute later it gives the error message again and refuses to send anything. Why is mail so inconsistent? What can I do in the future to address the problem?
Error message reads "The SMTP server "xxxxx" rejected the password for user "xxx" Please re-enter your password or cancel.
When mail does work again. Should I click the remember this password in keychain or am I just asking for more trouble?
I'm writing this using my IMac computer in a different room. The error also occurs on my powerbook running my new MacBook Pro 12 inch.
Fed up Mac user.

I"m no expert but this used to happen to me all the time (stop downloading, asking for my password, nothing downloading, walking away- 24 hours or more later, all is fine, only to later start all over again)
Well, i gave up for a long time and stopped using that account with mac mail and only accessed it online..recently went and changed the pop3 to only pop and now it works beautifully and seamlessly. Don't ask me why or how, but it does so thought I'd share.

My phone is dropping calls, doesn't ring all the time-goes directly to voice mail, do no recieve alert on when a text is recieved

1-My phone does not ring all the time upon recieving an incoming call, it goes directly to voice mail.
2- Not recieving alert tone upon recieving a text message.
3- Dropping calls also

We have the same problem widespread in our company with iPhone 4's and 5's:
- Fails to establish the call, dials but nothing happens
- Drops the call for no reason even though signal strength is good
- Recevie text alerts to notify of voicemail when the handset has not rung nor does it show missed calls
We migrated someone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 for a month and all these issues went away. Nothing to do with alert tones turned down or faulty silent switches.

Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

Hello everyone,
I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it.
They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook.
Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
I then setup the second btinternet email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
Please help
Thanks in advance
PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.

ATT00001.htm attachment in Outlook when sent with Apple Mail

Title:
Mac Mail att htm issue in outlook
Question:
I'm using mac original mail software. I did set my HTML style template. The software is best ever.
And works good when I send email to outlook users on PC. However if I attach PDF for example, it does go through and outlook users get it, however when they open message all they see.
- attached PDF
- and att00001.htm file which has inside email text
Not everybody gets idea to open it and thy think it is empty email. The same email will be sent to apple user everything looks properly. Why email text is converting into the htm file? It happens only if i attach something to my message, if I don't then email text is not being converted to htm attachment.
I think there are a lot of user that know this issue, did anybody find a solution yet?
Thank you
jhyiesla:
I don't think there is anything you can really do about it.
I think that it's how the receivers program is going to interpret it.
For example, I sent an email to my Outlook account from my Mac with just an attachment; no text. I looked at the email in Outlook 2000 and I see the attachment as an item in the body text section of the email. When I look at that same email in Outlook 2003 the attachment shows in the attachment area under the subject line and the body text area is blank.
Then I sent another one with an attachment and some text in the body of the email. In Outlook 2000 I see the text in the text area and the attachment as well as a attxxx file in an area at the bottom of the email. The att file was empty. In Outlook 2003 that same email as the attachment and the empty att file in the attachment area at the top and under the subject line and in the body text area of the email is the text that I typed.
Although Mac Mail uses standard protocols, which is why you can send an email to a Windows PC, it just does some different things. In the WIndows world Outlook and Outlook Express also handle some things differently.
Goldblum:
Thank you for your reply
This issue makes mail.app useless, do you have any recommendations?
Other client which are as good as the mail.app or would be nice to know what is forcing to convert body text to attachment? I could reduce beautiness of my email template by taking out header (jpg) or not using rich text. What exactly is forcing outlook to convert body to attxxxxx.htm file?
jhyiesla:
I truly don't know the answer to that question. Sometimes similar things happen coming the other way. I'll get emails in to my Mac Mail that have jpg files and I'll see the actual pictures in the body of the email.
I happen to also have Office 2008 for the Mac installed and when I sent my self a message and looked at it in Outlook 2000 and XP, the email looked "normal" in all instances. The attachment was marked as an attachment, text was where it should be and no att file.
There are other email clients that would probably work on the Mac like Thunderbird... but I'm guessing that you'd have a similar thing as happens with mac mail. Still it might be worth the download to test it out.
Goldblum:
I used entourage and same HTML template for email and have no problems. It is just so that entourage is as any other MS product "broken" out of the box but did good job and same message is not being converted to HTML attachment when it goes to outlook on PC. I will continue researching internet because it has to be solved. I can't send a message to client without comment to attached invoice. This is so not professional. I will play more with settings of mail.app to see what else can be done to avoid conversion.
jhyiesla:
Entourage probably works well with Outlook because they're both MS products and MS is going to have somewhat similar looks to all their Office products... although there is quite a bit of difference between Entourage and Outlook.
Here's a link that may help you on your search:
http://email.about.com/od/macemailclients/tp/free.htm

As mentioned, Outlook is not email standards compliant. It probably never will be based on Microsoft's history. However, I think there are various issues involved in the problems people have. I often send emails from home to my Outlook account at work. I have never experienced any of the problems that I've seen posted anywhere regarding Mail and Outlook.
My conclusion is that there are issues with certain Exchange Server configurations and/or issues with your own ISP mail server causing the issues.
I do have my system set up to Always send windows friendly attachments (from what I've read, this really is 'send Outlook friendly attachments'), and always put attachments at the end. Prior to the 'always put attachments at the end,' I wasn't having any issues, either. However, I read that that setting helped with other email clients, so I use it.
The obvious question is, "well, how is your exchange server configured." I would love to provide the answer to that question; however, I work for a DoD organization, so actually tracking down the person that knows the answer to that question will take somewhere between five years and never. With my 20+ years experience with the DoD, I'm leaning towards the never end of the spectrum. The other half of the equation is, "I'm using cox as my ISP."

OS X 10.10.1 Apple Mail reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers

Apple Mail(8.1) reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers on my iMac and Laptop Pro with the new Yosemite update! Spent 1.5hrs with the virgin team (thought we solved it by changing from Auto to one minute update) only to find on return I still have an issue with Mail! On the iMac the account opens and I see all the mail arriving. When I switch over and the back, days of recent mail have disappeared?
If I search for one I saw, It is found?
On the Laptop Pro, its similar, but it also has a problem remembering the outgoing port no matter how often I save it keeps going back to port 143 and this makes the send fail each time?
Will I have to move to another mail client or is their a fix coming?

The last version of Mail for Tiger is v2.1.3 & there won't be any updates/upgrades.
You might try the freeware mail app Thunderbird. http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ It's newer than Mail for Tiger.

Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) - but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into
and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there. This is what Barney previously posted about that:

Yahoo Mail folder behaviour with Apple Mail 5.0

I think it's great that Apple Mail 5.0 now has IMAP functionality with Yahoo Mail but I have one query that I'm hoping someone can help me out with.
If I send mail with Yahoo Mail, using Apple Mail, it creates a new sent messages folder where my messages are put after being sent. What I would like to do however, is use the Sent folder, which Yahoo uses by defaul when using the web interface.
Is there any way to get Apple Mail 5.0 to do this?
Any help/ideas/suggestions

I just did that for the "sent" folder that was showing up under the list of Yahoo folders. It seems as if all email sent from my phone were going into that folder. Once I did that, the folder popped up under the Sent with the paper airplane icon.
However, then it moved all of the ones that HAD been in the sent folder with the paper airplane (sent locally on the Mac) to a "Sent Messages (Yahoo!)" folder under "On My Mac".
I'm assuming the paper airplane section is IMAP. But now I still have sent items in 2 places:
Sent (paper airplane)>Yahoo
On My Mac>Sent Messages (Yahoo!)
How do I resolve this so that ALL Yahoo email (whether sent from my iPhone or locally on the Mac--or even the web interface) goes to the same sent folder?

Somethin is going on with my MAIL!!
