Synchronisation of Mail with POP3 account

I have two email accounts, Mobile Me (now upgraded to iCloud) and a POP3 account from my ISP. I had set things so that my MobileMe mailbox automatically read my POP3 account so that all incoming messages ended in my MobileMe mailbox. This had the advantage of synchronisation between Macbook, iPhone and iPad. The MobileMe/POP3 account synchronisation has recently stopped working. I can't think of an event that might have caused this.
I want to investigate but I can't remember how I set it up in the first place. Can anybody help?
I have a work around involving a rule in Mac Mail but this only works when Mail is running on the Mac whereas the previous solution didn't.

I don't know if they will give you the certificate... but this is the process for adding certs for securing emails.
Otherwise, try Outlook 2011.

I have Mail with 5 accounts. The problem is that one of them is constantly active, that is with the moving wheel showing a search for new mails.

I have Mail with 5 accounts. The problem is that one of them is constantly active, that is, with the moving wheel showing a search for new mails, while the others accounts are not active.

hello
Would not take the moving wheel as indication that account is active. There could be other reasons for it. From the menu Window, choose 'connection doctor' that will show you how each account has connected. Next, from the Window menu choose 'activity veiwer' that will show you exactly what activity is causing the moving wheel.

Folders in Mail with POP Account

Hi!
I would create folders in Mail with POP account. It is possible? Why not?
Thanks!

As James has explained - you need an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes or folders on the iPad. Even though you may be able to create a folder on your computer - which is simply a locally stored folder - or on the POP account server, those will not sync to the iPad POP email account.

Cannot send mails with second Account

Hi,
I have 2 Mail-Accounts.
Account_A(mobileme) and
Account_B(exchange)
In the Account settings I have associated both Accounts to use there own SMTP. If I try now to send a mail with Account_B i directly become an error that the mail cannot be send over the server_B. If I hit "check connections" everything wents green, which implicates, that everything should be fine.
Now comes the funny part: In the same error Window there is a message: Send from: Account_A!
Any idea to get this working?
Info:
Yes. The settings in "Compose message" are right
Yes. Both Accounts are setup correct and work fine with iPhone and iPad
Thanks, Michael

What error message do you receive when try to send from Account_B?

Mac Mail stops recieveing mail with Gmail Accounts and Google Apps

Hi,
We're having some chronic issues with our corporate Google Apps / Gmail service when used with Mac Mail. Regardless of the OSX version... when it's not one thing it's another. It's nice to see that 10.9.4 finally correctly inserts the proper, full username in the SMTP field for Google Apps users.
We still have some problems where users stop receiving mail silently in the middle of their workday. It wouldn't be such an issue, except that Mac Mail pretends nothing is wrong and suddenly the person realizes they are 3 hours behind on their emails. Magically, quitting and re-opening mail resolves the issue. Even more disturbing, is this article on apple support which lists this stupidity as the official workaround
OS X: New email messages not received until Mail is quit and reopened
I suppose one could argue that Outlook 2011's integration with gmail accounts is even worse. There's something to be said about "AirMail" being the #2 app in all the appstore currently. Clearly Apple and Google aren't putting their best foot forward to make this work.
I guess what I'm looking for is something concrete other than "Restart Mail to get mail coming in again". Is there some workaround to see the connection status to see if something is stalled?

Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.

Trouble sending mail with .Mac account

I used to have a .Mac account, and the spam had gotten so bad that I had to cancel it. I started a new trial membership with a new .Mac address so that I could get a new account name. Now when I send an email using Mail, it tries initially to send the email using the old .Mac address, which obviously doesn't work. When I got to the outbox and open the unsent message and then click "send" the message sends without a problem.
The old .Mac account isn't even entered in Mail anymore, so I have no idea what the problem is. I've tried deleting and adding my new account, but still get the same problems.

Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Deleting an account doesn’t remove the outgoing server from the list. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems.
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there. The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
BTW, you may want to read the following articles, which are applicable to any mail account (not just .Mac), and any mail client (not just Mail):

Mail with Yahoo account doesn't exit when shutdown or logout

Hi,
I'm using OS X Mail with a Yahoo Imap Account (setup by Mail itself) on a new MB Air.
Reading, writing Mail works fine, but: when logging out or restarting the system, the mail program (in background, hidden display) does not quit. After some seconds I get a message from the system saying that I have to quit Mail (translated from german) manually for the system to restart.
This behavior does not occur always, but sporadically (each 3rd or 5th time).
If I display the 'Activity' window of Mail in this cases, I can see that there are 2 jobs waiting forever: 'empty the trash' and 'logoff imap server' (translated again). One of them (or both?) seems to be a problem for the Mail application causing the endless waiting.
All other Mail acounts (iCloud, Google) do not have this problem, only Yahoo. The Problem can also be reproduced on two other Macs with fresh created Yahoo Email acounts.
Sorry for my bad english. I hope someone has a solution/hint for my problem.
Greets from Germany,
Peter

Create folder mail with pop3

Hi all,
I have not found a way to create sub folders within my pop3 email account, any answers please.
Already tried: created sub folder in hotmail which pulled through into laptop email account, no joy.

Apple's MobileMe account is an IMAP account.
A Gmail account can be accessed as a POP, IMAP, or Exchange account.
A Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset on an iOS device is created/accessed as an IMAP account but Yahoo does not support accessing a Yahoo account as an IMAP account with an email client on your computer or with any other device that I'm aware of.
Microsoft now supports accessing a Hotmail or Live Mail account as an Exchange account with an iOS device. This requires creating the account as a new account.

Outgoing server settings for MAC MAIL with multiple accounts?!

if i got paid to do this, my outgoing mail server issues would be somewhat amusing but as it stands they are really extremely annoying.
i have multiple email accounts (multiple addresses with multiple hosts - gmails, domain based email, me.com address etcetera).
does ANYONE know if there is an FAQ on what is recommended with respect to the settings on whether to tell mail to ONLY USE the one outgoing server and/or anything with the other settings?
i feel like i am in a pachinko parlor when i send mail because there is constantly an error of some kind and then i try dropping the mail through a different outgoing server by selecting a different one from the list and i just do this until it goes out. oftentimes i don't find out it didn't go out until the NEXT DAY becasue i am working and this alert gets hidden behind my other windows where i do actual productive work.
any ideas? i have two domain based websites (multiple emails with two SMTP addresses), two GMail accounts and me.com...
THANKS!

hi. CS. thanks.
do you know what this does as a practical matter? i mean, is it NECESSARY to check this box? will it try other outgoing servers and NOT WORK if you don't check this box? conversely, will it NOT try other outgouing servers if this one is unavailable if i check this (presumably the answer is yes here). i mean - am i likely to run into fewer problems by checking this box and i assume it is necessary to use the OUTGOING SERVER of the actual domain you are trying to send mail from as opposed to - for example - using GMAIL outgoing server for everything because you think you will get less errors than sending from your email domain outgoing server.
you know what i am saying? i mean, i get a bootload of errors and actually can't send mail these days even though Connection Doctor is telling me everything is hunky dory.
also, what is meant by "Offline"? do i have to go in and tell it to take everything on line for some reason and is this totally separate (telling it to go online) from checking things in Connection Doctor?
THANK YOU

How to set proxy for mail with Gmail account

Hi, I'm using mail and set up a Gmail pop account. My mac is behind a proxy, say 192.168.0.1:808. I set the system http and https with the above address and can browse the internet with safari. But the mail app cannot receive or send any mails from the google pop/smtp server. Do you know how I can set the proxy for mail so that it can send and receive mail? Thank you very much!

I solved this problem myself by using an app called proxifier. It's a tunneling tool I guess.

Having issues sending Yahoo/att mail with one account

Since upgrading to OS Mountain Lion, we have all sorts of issues. This weeks challenge seems to be that my one (and main) e-mail account through Yahoo/att will receive in batches, but not send at all. I have another business e-mail account and it is sending and receiving fine. Mail prompts me for my password over-and-over again. Obviously both accounts settings are identical except for username and password. Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hello internettim2,
Help is just a posting away! Let's get your picture messaging working to other devices on your account. Are you having any issues with texts? Also, are these pictures that you took on the device? Can I assume that you are using the original text messaging app on all of the phones? If so then please turn off iMessage on the iPhones and test the service. Let us know the results so we can proceed.
Thank you…

Cannot set up Mail with GoDaddy Account, what am I doing wrong?I

I searched the correct way to do this through GoDaddy, my hosting service and got these directions, which I have tried, but didn't work.
*To Set Up Apple Mail for SMTP Relay
1. From the Mail menu, click Preferences.
2. In the Preferences window, click Accounts.
3. In the Account window, click Account Information.
4. From the Account Type list, select POP.
5. In the Description field, type a name for the account.
6. In the Email Address field, type your email address.
7. In the Your Name field, type your full name.
8. In the Incoming Mail Server field, type pop.secureserver.net.
9. In the User Name field, type your user name (your full email address).
10. In the Password field, type the password to your email account.
11. In the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) field, type smtpout.secureserver.net.
12. In the SMTP Server Options window, in the Outgoing Mail Server field, type smtpout.secureserver.net.
13. In the Authentication field, type your password.
14. In the Server Port field, type 80 or 3535.
15. In the User Name field, type your SMTP user name.
16. In the Password field, type your SMTP password.
17. Click OK.
Obviously, I'm connected to the internet...
I tried doing this through POP and IMAP, there is an error message saying unable to connect. What can be done to make this work?

the 3535 is not gonna work...the 110 will work...I have been dealing w/ godaddy.com .mac and mac support for 5 months with compatibility. It is the worst.. mac says they never heard of godaddy and godaddy had me run a trace route so then I had to deal w/ my isp for no good reason since other browsers could reach godaddy so it is not my stream.. It is the worst. These are suposed to be the easiest and most seemless systems and they cannot sync. I use firefox to get to go daddy on my macbook and it is as if I am using dial up. I am ready to just cancel .mac which is really another headache to learn..and godaddy and just move everything over to a company that can handle everything. My web business has been on hold since January. It makes no sense. I got the mac so I would not have to deal w/ the windows registry error answer.. now godaddy tells me they are built for windows.
There is no winning at this. I have spent countless hours on phone support after spending countless hours researching the answers only for all support lines to tell me i can "go to...website for more info..." it is as bad as using windows.
Very dissatissfied,
p

Partial download mail with Yahoo account

Hi.
I have Mail 3.6 on Mac os 10.5.8 and 2 account: Gmail and Yahoo. Gmail works fine but Yahoo has downloaded only mail until 25/09/2008.
I deleted mail account in Mail e re-created but problem didn't resolve.
I have Powerbook G4 with Mac os 10.4.11 and Mail 2.6 works fine with both and I setup that mail on server doesn't delete.
Have you any suggestions?
thanks

I came across your post when trying to sort out the same problem - which I have now resolved. My account stopped downloading from yahoo server post 21 Aug 09. I moved the contents of the inbox to a temp folder and then removed and re-added my account. The server said there were 916 messages but only downloaded approx 80% up to 21 Aug 09. I then double clicked on the inbox and selected "Account Info" which listed all 916 on the server. At the top of the list there were 10 messages with "Sender unknown" and with received "Today". I removed them from the server and Mail dowloaded the missing e-mails. I hope this helps.
