Thunderbird does not accept correct imap server setting.

Hello,
I need to set my mail.com account but Thunderbird sets email.com because my email is [email protected] but the server is imap.mail.com and I can NOT set it without Thunderbird blocking me with it´s retarded autoconfig which appearently DOES NOT WORK.
It should be possible to disable a malfunctioning autoconfig and let the user decide to put in settings if it fails to connect instead of blaming a wrong password because it sets the wrong server setting automatically!
How do I disable this forceful autoconfig?
Please fix this or tell me a workaround for that bug,
thx,
fred

I just figured it out.
In the config it said [imap] (like a button) .email.com. Same with smtp. I thought that I dont have to write imap before that .email.com because it was written left of it (had that in some other configs like that already who worked like that) and just tried to change the .email.com into .mail.com and that caused the error message.
So basicly I just had to fill in imap and smtp infront and then it worked.
Kinda weird... 99 % of those servers start with imap so why does Thunderbird just put .emailserver.com instead of imap.emailserver.com... Well anyways thats what mislead me.
Now it says email.com doesnt accept encrypted passwords even though it works on phone and tab with encrypted passwords... well thats not a mozilla thing, I guess.
thx anyways

Mail does not use correct outgoing server

Problem
Mail in Mavericks (and also IOS6 snf 7) does not use the outgoing smtp server associated with the account being used. This results in either a failure to send or mail being put into the wrong "Sent" folder.
Background
I have most of my non-icloud mail pulled down to a home server from which my laptops and ios devices access various accounts using imap. The local home server also provides smtp and relays all mail to my ISP. Recently I have been switching from an old home server (Mac Mini) to a new one (Raspberry pi running the debian Raspbian version with fetchmail, Dovecot and postfix setup).
While making the changeover I had access to both the old server and the new server enabled on my laptop. Naturally the majority of the settings (Name, email address etc) were the same although the name and address of the server to be used for both incoming and outgoing mail were different. This seemed tp work fine for incoming. However when I tested outgoing mail the copy that should appear in the "sentt" box went missing. This usually indicates some mistake in the setting of the sent mail folder on the accounts but this all checked out.
I eventually found the missing outgoing mail intended to go through the new server in the sent box on the old server. Further trials showed that no matter what I did the outgoing would always default to the old (and therefore first set up) outgoing server.
Deleting the old account and the old outgoing server of course should cure the problem and will eventually be the solution for me when I kill the old server. But i wanted to get to the bottom of the problem in case it reappeared in other contexts. Checking the "use only this server" box produced failure to send rather than the correct result.
Trialing various alterntaive settings showed that the problem occurs when there are two outgoing servers with the email address in the settings and the user name on the outgoing server name being the same. I had assumed that changing the description field would distinguish between the various settings; however this did not work. Changing the Name Field did work eg by putting (O) after my name.
It appears therefore that mail selects the outgoing server on the basis of email address (with the full name included) and user name (trrespective of the actual server or the Description that shows in the smtp server listing. In some ways this is logical but it produces problems in the context I have described and would also be a difficulty if you wanted to use an alternative server when in a different location.
I have trawled support and elsewhere for any thing similar. Lots of mail problems (don't get me started on the way icloud loses outgoing each time you edit the list!) but I have not found any posts on precisiely this point.
IOS devices seem to have similar problems, but a quick attempt at a similar solution does not work, and I cannot be bothered to test the options. I will simply clean them out and put in the new accounts.
Advice
Grateful for any comments or advice from people who have encountered similar problems and whether my diagnosis if correct. Have I missed any obvious corrections that would clear this up. I do not know whether this is a Mavericks issue or also appears in earlier OSX versions.
CPE

Peter,
Where ever the Sent and Trash folders show in the Sidebar, highlight first one, and then the other, followed by clicking on Mailbox in the Menubar, and choosing Use This Mailbox For, and choose the function.
Keep us posted on your progress.

Mail does not retain correct external server path for Exchange Server '07 even when "automatically detect and maintain account settings" is unchecked. Advice?

Mail keeps resetting the external server path for an Exchange server '07 account when the program is closed and reopened. This happens even though "automatically detect and maintain account settings" is unchecked. To reset to the correct setting I need to disable the account, make the change and save with the account disabled, close Mail, reopen Mail, and enable the account. Then the settings are maintained and Mail works great... until Mail is closed and reopened again. At that point the server path reverts to an incorrect setting. Anyone else experiencing this? Advice? I don't think this is a problem with the Exchange server because this problem did not happen with OS X Mavericks.

This this to fix repeated password requests....
Open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities
Search for your Dreamhost accounts. There should be two entries (incoming, outgoing) for each account.
It's not uncommon to find old entries. You might want to delete all and start clean.The Keychain isn't smart and will keep all old entries when you add/change a password.
While you are in the Keychain run Keychain First Aid, Under Keychain Access in the Menu bar.
Open Mail
Open Connection Doctor.
If you see red for the account, enter the password again.
If you continue to have problems, delete the account then add it back.

Thunderbird does not get server data for ovi mail

hi there,
i have the following problem:
when i try to make an ovi account in my thunderbird mail client, it does not find the right server settings to do so. i searched the net for hints concerning the right settings to set them manually but havent found anything so far.
does anybody know the right server settings or can provide me with a tip where i can find them, respecively solve the problem otherwise?
many thanks in advance!

Hello. Name here is Stephen. I live in Missouri.
I currently use my ovi.com email address with a Nokia E-71 smartphone, on the prepaid Straight Talk (TracFone Owned) wireless network.
I've also had my ovi.com address setup in Thunderbird (a popular email client) as an IMAP account.
Now that I see the new settings, I see that IMAP no longer available? Is that correct?
If this is the case, how is converting an IMAP account that worked flawlessly to a generic POP3 account progress? IMAP is more attuned to business users, and is just more efficient all the way around.
If I'm wrong, please let me know. If not, I need the current IMAP account settings for my ovi.com email address.
Please assist me in this matter, as it's driving me nuts.
Warm Regards,
Stephen Brown

Users receive "does not accept meetings longer than 1440 minutes" with MaximumDurationInMinutes set to 0

Hi everyone,
We are running on Exchange 2007. I have a user who is attempting to book a meeting on a calendar and is receiving the error, "Your meeting request was declined. This resource does not accept meetings longer than 1440 minutes." I know
this is related to the "MaximumDurationInMinutes" property returned from Get-MailboxCalendarSettings in the Exchange Management Shell. This value is currently set to 0, which I understand to mean unlimited. The user did not experience
this issue with other meetings and there are several meetings scheduled that exceed this limit. I have included the results of "Get-MailboxCalendarSettings" and the email response (with some identifiable information removed) below. Does
anyone have any idea why this error might still be occurring and where it would pull the 1440 minute time limit from if it is not set?

Hi Derek,
I find related information as below:
The default options allow all users to book resources if they are within the set policies (i.e. up to 180 days in the future, up to 1440 minutes in duration, etc.), and will reject all other meetings. In the context of resource mailboxes,
InPolicy and OutOfPolicy simply mean whether or not the meeting invitation matches any restrictions enabled on the resource mailbox. For example
MaximumDurationInMinutes value for the resource mailbox is 30 minutes, any meeting invitation longer than 30 minutes would be considered OutOfPolicy. Using the
RequestOutOfPolicy parameter, you can manually add users that are allowed to request meetings that are not within the policy, and if you really want to lock things down, you can set the
AllBookInPolicy value to False, and then manually add users to the
BookInPolicy field, or more restrictive, to the
RequestInPolicy field.
More details to see:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2007/05/14/3402515.aspx
I suggest set the MaximumDurationInMinutes parameter to a big number. Find a similar thread for your reference:

After upgrading to 10.9 Server 3 XMPP server does not accept account with domain instead of FQDN

Hi,
I've had this issue before when upgrading to 10.8 from 10.7. The issue is that my previous working jabber ID ([email protected]) stops working and I can only login to the XMPP server using [email protected] In previuos upgrades, all I had to do to fix the issue was to re-add the domain witrh the serveradmin tool, adding it to the jabber:hostsCommaDelimitedString.
#serveradmin settings jabber:hostsCommaDelimitedString="host.domain.com,domain.com"
In 10.9 this does not work. Both host and domain entries are already in the config but I still can only login when changing my JID to be [email protected]
Any hints?
Regard,
//Staffan

Solved it myself! It seems like the #serveradmin script for modifying / adding the domain aliases to the ejabberd server does not work correctly. After looking through the different sm_.xml files created when adding a domain the script does not modify the <local><id> that the server uses to identify the JID with.
After manually modifying that id to match my domain, and restarting the ejabberd server, it works fine again!
It seems like when adding or modifying the jabber:hostsCommaDelimitedString="" the server default hostname is always inserted into the <local><id>.

Since I did the Firefox reset, I try to open my email and it says, Your browser does not accept cookies. I have checked the cookies setting 100 times!

Since I did the Firefox reset, I try to open my email and it says, Your browser does not accept cookies. I have checked and done your suggested setting 100 times!

Note that a reset tries to migrate cookies to the new profile, so if you had previously as problem with cookies then the problem might have been carried over.
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional does not accept the correct serial number after reinstallation

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional does not accept the correct serial number after reinstallation, what to do?

Thank you Bill. You could help me with the answer and the one in the other forum:
"Acrobat has a separate installation process and needs to be activated with your Adobe ID I think. The question on CC is really one for the folks in the CC forum (Adobe Creative Cloud), not the Acrobat forum".
I could resolve things with Adobe CC. I don´t need my old Acrobat 8, but I could finally install Acrobat XI Pro - and this time it seems to work, without permanently crashing down.
Thank you.

Canon 5D MK II white balance set as K does not import correctly

With a 5D II and the Kelvin white balance set in the camera the WB does not import correctly for RAW files and LR 2.4. For example when set to a specified white balance as a Kelvin setting, for example 5200, and then import the raw files with "As Shot" specified or subsequently WB to "As Shot" in Develop module the white balance is set to 4850 +1 (in the example of 5200). The pre set WB options provided inthe camera do work correctly.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set this up to work correctly? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thank you.

Does anyone know if there is a way to set this up to work correctly? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Lightroom does work correctly. The numbers are different, but the appearance ot the colour temperature matches. The way I understand it, cameras don't actually store Kelvin numbers, but store colour space co-ordinates instead. LR and your Canon are interpreting the RAW values into different colour spaces, so the kelvin values and tint numbers will differ.

Ios7 does not delete old pop server

My company has recently changed servers for our email accounts. I have deleted the old account and SMTP server from my iphone. I added the new pop account with the new server and have SSL activated. I can receive email just fine. However, when I try to send or reply to an email a message comes up that says "Cannot Send Mail, The user name or password for "old server" is incorrect". This "old server" was deleted, so when trying to access the settings option on this message, it takes me to the new account. Checking the SMTP server the name is correct, as this SMTP account is on as the primary server. Why will ios7 not accept the new server name, and why is it trying to use the "old server" name as the SMTP outging server?

Apparently, Mail sometimes fails to remove messages from the server when Remove copy from server is set to Right away -- don’t know why.
I can only guess Mail sometimes has problems communicating with the server, and precisely because the setting is Right away, never tries again. I’d try changing the setting to After one day or When moved from Inbox, and see whether that makes a difference.
Also, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Have you checked whether Thunderbird does remove the messages from that server?
BTW, woodie is wrong. It’s true that Gmail ignores any requests to delete messages from the server made by a POP client, but it doesn’t let the same messages to be downloaded more than once via POP either. Gmail just doesn’t work like a normal POP server would.

PrintWriter does not send correct text over HTTP

Hello All,
I need information to resolve a problem I am having with PrintWriter and sending text using HTTP.
I am developing a client/server system. A client will be used to connect to a Tini (a Dallas Semiconductor designed embedded system). Currently, to understand HTTP operation, I wrote a server that resides on the tini that listens for a connection attempt and when one is made prints the HTTP message in Dallas' JavaKit application window. The resultant Tini display includes some hardcoded tini text (italics only in (b) and (c) below) along with that received from the client app (italic bold in (b) and (c) below).
I have also written some test client side code (see (a) below) in Sun's Java Studio Creator that sends a couple of lines of text so that I could see what my client app would actually send. I tried a few different ways of creating a PrintWriter object as shown in the code at (a) below just to see if it was a character set problem.
The problem is that I get two different results under the following conditions:
[Condition 1]: Entering "HTTP://tini" in the browser and pressing Enter. See result (b) below. This is correct and shows what the browser sends to the tini. The tini outputs the text immediately after pressing Enter.
[Condition 2]: Running my client code in the browser. See result (c) below. This is incorrect and sends just a bunch of "y"s with umlauts as the message. The tini immediately outputs text up to the "cnt=0" line and then can take up to a couple of minutes to complete the message.
1. Can anyone tell me why the client sends those "�" instead of the strings I encoded for all character sets?
2. Why does the client code takes so long to complete after the initial transmission?
3. Can anyone provide me with links to information that explains this behavior? I searched Sun and the forum but found nothing.
(a) Here is the current test client side code that sends a couple of strings to the tini:
    public String button3_action() {
        // TODO This should send the tini a request for its IP address
        String protocol = "HTTP";
        String host = "tini";
        try{
             URL tiniURL = new URL("http://tini");
             URLConnection tiniConnection = tiniURL.openConnection();
             tiniConnection.setDoOutput(true);
     //     Comment out one then the other to see if there is a difference in result (there is not!)
     //        PrintWriter tiniout = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream(), "UTF-16"));
     //        PrintWriter tiniout = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8"));
     //        PrintWriter tiniout = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream(), "ISO-8859-1"));
     //        PrintWriter tiniout = new PrintWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream());
             PrintWriter tiniout = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream()));
             tiniout.println("GET / HTTP / 1.1\r\n");
             tiniout.flush();
             tiniout.println("IPaddress?");
             tiniout.flush();
             tiniout.close();
        catch(MalformedURLException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        catch(IOException e){

This is to anyone that is having trouble sending data via a stream using a browser client. I found the answer after many different searches on the Sun site in a bug report: Bug ID: 4192018.
The problem arises from the way the API actually uses outputstreams. It appears that you must add an InputStreamReader to actually flush the OutputStreamWriter buffer. After reading this bug report I added
(tiniConnection.getOutputStream(), "ISO-8859-1"));
        OutputStreamWriter tiniout = new OutputStreamWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream(), "ISO-8859-1");
        InputStreamReader tiniIn = new InputStreamReader(tiniConnection.getInputStream(), "ISO-8859-1");
        tiniout.write("GET/HTTP/1.1\r\n");
        tiniout.flush();
        //This is necessary to actually send data.
        tiniIn.read();
        tiniout.write("IPaddress?");
        tiniout.flush();
        //This is necessary to actually send data.
        tiniIn.read();
        tiniout.close();
        catch (MalformedURLException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        catch (IOException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }NOTE: The preliminary program still does not perform correctly but it does send data that is displayed in tini's JavaKit window. At least I can continue to verify how the browser sends data.
I hope this helps someone.
