STRANGE POP/SMTP ISSUES

I have four accounts that I maintain in Mail. I have one for school, one Yahoo!, one Gmail, and one .mac account. As of last Friday I can only connect with my school email when I am on the campus network.
I have asked others if they have noticed this change and they have not. I asked a Res-Tech if there had been some sort of security added; and he said there was not, nor had he heard of anyone else having this problem.
I did install Cache X Out, Omni Disk Sweeper, and Quicksilver. Could a setting on one of those be keeping me from connecting to any account that does not match my network connection?
Thank you in advance for your help with this!

Ernie,
Thank you for the response, and sorry for not clarifying the POP/SMTP heading. My mail account works fine sending and receiving. The Yahoo!, Gmail, and .mac accounts do not send or recieve. Their names are gray in the inbox and their symbol is the exclamation point in a triangle. My school account is black. When I hit 'Check Mail' I get the progress symbol on all of them, but only the school account retrieves/sends mail.
When I click on the exclamation sign (example: Yahoo) I get:
Connection Failed
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "Yahoo!" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The server "pop.mail.yahoo.com" refused to allow a connection on port 110.
Then my two buttons are STAY OFFLINE or GO ONLINE.
I am already online, my internet works, and my school account works. That is why I was thinking that there might be some quirky setting that only allows emails from an address that matches the network. All four accounts worked on Wednesday, and then did not work on Friday.
I am stumped.
Thanks again,
Jason

Mac Mail password/ SMTP/ POP server issues

I have been using Mac Mail on my MacBook for many years. I have Yahoo Mail Plus POP mail. In the past several months I have had tons of problems, and keep resetting the password, POP & SMTP settings. This time, I can't even get past the password prompt popping up. It says I have the wrong password, but that is not the case. I have even removed the email account entirely from MacMail, and tried to set it back up from the beginning, but no luck.
I'm about to throw this thing out the window! Can anyone help??
Thanks-
JJ

The correct way is to use the exact settings provided by your ISP when you set up your account with them.
You can make a pretty good approximation by using this Apple web page. [Apple does not capture, store, use, or divulge the information entered in that form. It is simply a service for YOU.]

Intermittently losing pop smtp and isp connection

Intel Mac Mini, Mountain Lion, 8 GB RAM
Intermittently losing pop, smtp and sometimes isp connectivity.
Can ping to IP address, not to isp name
Same for wired and wireless connection
Other Macs on network do not have the same problem
ISP says no POP or nameserver issues
Have:
run hardware diagnostics - all OK
disk utility -> repair disk - no issues
memtest - no issues
Onyx full maintenance and cleaning - no issues
Erase HD, fresh media re-install, time machine restore
started to lose sanity

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Can't receive emails on 2nd POP/SMTP account on iPad 2

My pop/smtp email account is the default account on my iPad and I added 2nd account for my wife.
I have created the account in settings and all appears to be fine, I compared all the settings to my working account and they are identical.
I can see the account in Mail, I have them titled as "Rich's email" and Caroline's email" and I can send from the account it just won't receive any emails, it checks for mail for quite sometime then I eventally get a message that says "Cannot Gel Mail, the server is not responding verify you have entered the correct account info in mail settings" Which I have done several times and I know it's correct.
I'm completely baffled any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Holgerfragtnach,
It sounds like your Mail application can send emails but cannot get any new emails that come to your address. I recommend these steps from the article named:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4002
If you can't receive mail in OS X Mail
Locate the name of your iCloud account on the left side of the main Mail window. If your iCloud account name is dimmed and has a lightning-bolt symbol next to it, your account is offline. To bring your account online, make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet, then choose Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online. If that doesn't resolve the issue, follow these steps:
Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
Click the Advanced tab and verify these settings:
Port: 993
Use SSL: (selected)
Authentication: either "Password" or "Apple Token"
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Another SMTP issue w/ mail.app from a newbie (works on iPhone & other Mac)

I've recently switch from PC to a new iMac 27" QC i5 with 10.6.2 and Mail 4.2. Thursday, March 18th to be exact. I set up my mail.app that night and everything was peachy until Tuesday, March 23rd. I can receive just fine. Just can't send. The SMTP server is listed as Offline.
On the other hand, I can successfully send and receive mail with the exact pop/smtp settings on my iPhone 3G and my PC. Gmail works fine on mail.app too. I've called my webhost 3xs and Apple 3xs. My ISP is not blocking the ports. I've used about every variable possible and tried using Thunderbird as well. Everything works fine with Gmail but not my web host. My gut says it's something somewhere within the computer. Hosts files, etc. I don't know. What convinces me of this is that I had my friend set up my email account on his mac and everything worked as normal. He was able to send and receive, yet I still couldn't.
Any ideas? I wanted to ask before I was forced to reistall the OS.
Apple has had me delete the mail folder in Library, delete the plist file, etc. This has to be somewhere else.
Thanks in advance for any tips, help or guidance.

Same exact problem for me! I can send through my SMTP server with no issues from my iPod Touch & Windows devices but on both iMacs (Mail 4.2 (1077)) I cannot send.
Have been on the phone multiple times with my ISP but no luck. Have tried hard setting ports, turning on SSL, deleting and recreating the account, verifying my password isn't locked and nothing.
There is no other explanation with the other devices working. This must be a client issue.

How to use a ip address for pop & smtp server names when creating a new account

My xp PC is on a lan behind a Freebsd os [IE. flavor of unix] which is not running a dns server. The only way to reach it is by ip address. I have configured the account with a ip address for pop & smtp. When I create and sent a email, Thunderbird shows a window saying it trying to connect and after 10 seconds it goes away with out showing the status window. There is no email in the sent folder. Is it possible to do this ???? I can accomplish this using ms/outlook so I know it is possible.

I haven't tried this in years, but could you give this server a name and enter that into TB
Then in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts you add that name and ip

SSL/TLS POP/SMTP setting 6270 ?

Hi All,
I recently purchased Nokia 6270 and I do have GPRS connection working well for WAP sites and for Internet access on my laptop.
I have been trying to configure my GMAIL account on the email client provided with 6270. Gmail pop/smtp access required secure connection SSL/TLS and I could not find any place to set SSL or TLS YES. in personal configuration, there is everything to set except these.
It was there in old Motorola E398..The settings are really confusing.
If anybody has accessed/configured GMAIL on 6270, please help..
Cheers
Rajiv

you are right that I should have checked it before buying, I think you can expect such a small feature from a highend mobile. Nokia do claim it as highend mobile. I randomly looked at some of the mobile from different makes today and all of the high end mobiles have this feature.
And by the way all the email clients do contains feature for specifying SSL or TLS.
Does that means that 40 series is missing this feature because that is only provided in 60 series. Or is there any logical reason behind it.
Is there any software version update that can provide this feature. I have Version 03.65 19-12-05 RM-56

Hey rommy88,
Thanks for the question. You are correct, the option to disable Voice Dial is located in Settings > Passcode (before iOS 7.1, it was located in Settings > General > Passcode). You can also choose to disable Siri access from the lock screen:
Siri settings - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph634dd0e14
Prevent access to Siri when iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone 5s) or Settings > Passcode (other models). You can also disable Siri by turning on restrictions. See Restrictions.

Change pop & smtp settings for mozilla/firefox Free Outlook Express

4 weeks ago I installed a new WXP (2002) program/system. I then moved my browser to Firefox/Mozilla. When asked to input data for Outlook Express (in the service pack 2 for WXP) I gave them the wrong settings for pop & smtp input and output.
How can I correct these settings to make Outlook Express useful?

Please update to Firefox 21 [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
Outlook Express isn't developed by Mozilla, we can't provide support for it.

RBL checking before SMTP auth for remote POP/SMTP users

Just curious, does anyone know if this is still the case where the GWIA will reject a SMTP connection based on the RBL's before a user is able to authenticate?
Yet if we point the SMTP to GMAIL it works OK, so Google obviously don't Black List consumer broadband subnets.
The reason I wonder is that I have a situation again where a user working from home (on a consumer broadband plan) is being rejected from sending SMTP email via their office GWIA.
To get around this in the past, I have configured a second GWIA on a say port 26 that only accepts authenticated SSL connections, and instructed remote staff to send via this GWIA.

Yes, that's still the case.

Of course they don't, it would invalidate their whole product, which is
designed to be used from such subnets.

Another, much more functional option is of course to open up the POA
ports to the outside and let your remote users use the groupwise client
instead of pity POP/SMTP.

Adobe Pop-up Issues

Hi! Ever since I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1 from Adobe's main site a month ago, I've been invariably getting a pop-up window from "Problem Reports and Solutions" every time I tried closing the application. Otherwise, all was fine and I didn't experience any hanging or other abnormal behaviour of Adobe Reader. I've attached a screenshot of my issue as diagnosed by "Problem Reports and Solutions" and I hope it will help you in resolving my problem. Thanks.

hi! I'm running Adobe Reader on a Windows Vista Home Premium OS with SP2 installed. The antivirus software that I'm using is BitDefender Total Security 2009 and all security patches are up-to-date. There have been no annoying pop-ups that I experienced all along as my browser settings is set to block most automatic pop-ups. And the issue I'm experiencing had already been present right from the time I installed Adobe Reader, so it had never worked to begin with. By the way, did you have problems reading the details of the error log that I sent you as an attachment? And how do I paste logs that may be related to the error? Thanks.

Hello, Yuna:
I can't yet see the image you attached because it is still queued on Adobe's server but if you could tell us a little more about your system and possibly provide an error log, that would be a great way to help us work towards a solution to your issue. First, what operating system does your computer use? Service packs? Anti-virus and anti-spyware versions? Are all security patches up to date? Are you getting annoying popups when surfing the Web? Has anything been installed since it worked last?
To view event logs:
1. Right-click My Computer inthe Start menu
2. Click Manage
3. Expand the Event Viewer menu on the left
4. Click Application
Look for any error that is time-stamped around the time you last reproduced the error. Paste anything from the logs you feel may (or may not) be related.
Thanks,

Masthead pop up issue in SP21

Dear All,
we customized out portal masthead as well as standard desktop for EP7 patch level 14, it was working fine in production environment and development environment , then we upgraded the development environment to sp21 and we encountered a pop up issue on top level navigation, the worksets and roles are opening in a new window rather then openinig on a active window. this is a major navigation issue. we customized the masthead using com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead_core.jar,
my concern is once we upgrade portal, are we have to download the new par file in sp21 or is it works with a old jar file (sp14).
because i checked dowloading the sp14 and sp21 jar file ( com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead_core.jar) there is a different in file size.
Regards
Aflal

Hi Aflal ,
Since this started happening after the upgrade , i suspect something has gone wrong while upgrading . Even if that is not the case , navigation issues like these might occur after an upgrade . Check out all relavent SAP notes . You can also record the traces through http watch and compare , although i think it will not help much but still give it a try .You may get a clue .
If you have a clustered environment , check if the issue is coming on all server nodes and because it is dev you can always take a restart and see . If nothing works then without wasting much time raise an OSS .I dont think this has got anything to do with your masthead component .
Regards
Mayank

Imap or (pop/smtp) ?

I am advised by ntl/Virgin (my isp) they don't support imap and I've certainly had some intermittent but not total failure email service since switching from PC and Outlook Express (which was pop/smtp) to my new macbook pro just a week or so ago. Advice I get privately is that imap is the newer technology and preferable. So just what is the difference between these systems for a complete technophobe ? And should I change my isp, or switch to pop/smtp on my mac as ntl/Virgin are advising - well the advice of one of their call centre folk at any rate ?

POP downloads the messages from the server when you check your mail. Usually the messages are deleted from the server at the same time, but it's possible in Mail to change this to delete after a set period.
IMAP leaves the messages on the server unless you specifically download them. When you check your mail, Mail simply displays the messages on the server (exactly like webmail). The advantage of this is that you can check mail from several different computers, and, for example, if a message is marked as read on from one computer, it shows as read on the others.
If your ISP doesn't offer IMAP then you don't have any choice. It hardly seems worth going to the hassle of changing ISPs for - POP works well enough for most people, but only you can tell if you need it badly enough to find another ISP.

Strange pop-up menus on any basic funcion.

I have never seen this problem before. On my iMac with OS X 10.8.2 I get strange pop-up menus when I attempt the most basic functions . When I try to sign off it says New Folder. When I attempt to close a window it says Icon and Text. When I attempt to access the URL line it says Hide Tool Bar. When I click anywhere on the desktop it says New Folder. Do you have any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Smtp issue - gmail

So I haven't done any updates; haven't changed ANYTHING. But suddenly, today, Mail refuses to send outgoing mail via the gmail servers. The only other account I have attached to Mail is my .mac account, and it's inactive. I rebooted earlier today, and it sent. I came back a few hours later, tried to send, no deal. Rebooted. Still couldn't send. Just tried to send again, to get a copy of the error message to post here? And it sent. It's the same error message other people have posted here - but I haven't done any updates, or changed anything. It says it can't send via that server, and to try one of these others, and gives me a drop-down box that doesn't include the gmail server, only the .mac server that I don't have access to. We did lose our internet connection this morning for about an hour, but we've done that in the past and it hasn't screwed up Mail. Mail was running during the internet loss. (I leave it running pretty much all the time.) I still receive mail fine, it's just sending that's being intermittent.
I'm on a Powermac G4 (AGP Graphics) (also maybe known as a Sawtooth), wireless connection via an airport, DSL modem. 500Mhz processor. Running 10.4.5.

Hi,
I have a GMail account as well and sometimes it refuses to send, but I have found out that this is normally due to Gmail problems, rather than Mail itself. On the other hand, if you push Gmail's limits (by sending and receiving too fast) they may block your account for "a few minutes", thus causing the timeout.
When Mail shows you a list of servers, you better say "try again later". It just means that it couldn't connect to the server or the server refused the connection; either way, it's giving you the chance to pick up another server. If you don't do that (try again later), he'll keep trying.
Gmail is a little bit nasty sometimes with POP/SMTP access; it works fine most of the time, but I have come across days where timeouts occur. I don't know if you're in the US of A or outside (I am in Europe) but the "distance" may have something to do too, and given that you're using a Wi-Fi connection, it all sums to the possible cause of Timeout.
POst the error if you'd like for me to see a more detailed Mail log, maybe I can spot something unusual.
Good Luck!
