Thunderbird Issue. Thousands of inbound e-mails from "Mail Delivery Failed" from people to whom I've never attempted to send an e-mail.

All inbound e-mails are going directly to "TRASH" how do I fix this? I also have has thousands of inbound e-mails from "MAIL DELIVERY FAILED" involving people to whom I have never attempted to send an e-mail. Whats the cure? I have to use Time Warner as an internet connection and there is a duplicate of about half of what I'm getting in inbound traffic on Thunderbird.

The inbound is Backscatter see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28email%29
The trash issue is most likely the SPAM tool that comes with your anti virus program. Try disabling the tool in the anti virus suite and see how you get on.

Incoming mail 10.5 has failed from cloud

I updated to leopard and mail did work (in and out) - until May 16, 2012.
Now, nothing comes in (out still works) and my password in not being recognized.
yes, I did check the preferences.
Yes, I checked the pw by logging into the cloud.

Hi, the old servers do not work anymore...
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

Stored procedure runs OK from SSMS but fails from job scheduler

I have a stored procedure that queries the sysmanagement_shared_registered_servers_internal table in MSDB and performs various other queries from the servers listed in that table via linked servers. I have created a login called SQLInfo_user. When
I run the stored procedure from SSMS with the connection as SQLInfo_user, everything works as designed. However, when I run the job from the job scheduler with SQLInfo_user as the "run as user" parameter, it fails with "Executed as user: SQLInfo_user.
The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'sysmanagement_shared_registered_servers_internal', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 229). The step failed." The login SQLInfo_user has full read and select permissions to
that table in the MSDB database. Any suggestions? Thanks

Try instead of "run as user", make that user owner of job. Also, make sure your that user is in linked server for servers that you are connecting has equivalent user on the the destination servers.

Sending mails from a email list from a table

Here is the question on e-mailing reports via OBIEE IBots
I am trying to schedule Answers and Publisher reports to be e-mailed to a set of recipients based on the below criteria.
The recipients for the reports will be stored in tables (and available in the RPD) as explained below. Can IBots send e-mails by looking up the join of two tables below (through a query) and send out e-mails accordingly? E-mail recipients must be picked from table 2 and the cost centers that the recipients are eligible to see is stored in Table 1.
Table 1:
Classification Cost Center
A 111
A 222
A 333
B 444
C 555
C 666
Table 2
Classification E-Mail Field E-Mail ID
A TO [email protected]
A CC [email protected]
A BCC [email protected]
A BCC [email protected]
B TO [email protected]
B CC [email protected]
C TO [email protected]
C CC [email protected]

I have never had this problem and can't recreate it however Try this
'''Open Thunderbird''' choose '''View''' from the menu bar select '''sort by''' and then choose '''From'''
Answer 2 '''Open Thunderbird''' select '''Tools''' from the menu then '''Options''' select '''Advanced''' select the tab marked '''Reading and Display''' in the area marked '''Display''' there is a '''check box''' which says '''Show only display names for people in my address book'''.
These may not be the solution let me know

Mail is in a loop. I tried to send a bulk mailing from Filemaker Pro 10 and it has my mail program in a loop.

I attempted to send a bulk mailing from my Filemaker Pro 10 database. There were two bad addresses in the mix and mail continues to paint the attempts on my screen. I have force quit the program but when I open it again, it goes back into the loop and paints messages until the program crashes. How can I stop the emailing?

Start off by trying to reset the ipad. Press and hold the power and home buttons at the same time until the device powers down and you see the Apple logo.

If the Size of the PDF attachment exceeds we need to send as multiple mails.
I have only the invoice number and output type from the report. ITs not a print program there is no Close_form to get otf_data.
Is there any function module to convert a invoice to OTF then to PDF. ?

Unable to send with Apple Mail

I have two accounts set up on my Apple Mail, one is a Microsoft Exchange Server account and the other is a gmail account. Both have worked fine, sending and receiving since I set them up months ago. As of two days ago, neither will send, though both receive. Both will send through their respective web sites, mail.university.edu and mail.google.com. When I attempt to send a message, mail takes a while trying to send, and then I receive the message: Cannot Send Message Using Server (fill in either gmail or exchange server). Also, I haven't changed any settings in my mail preferences. I'm out of ideas, so any help or ideas is appreciated.
thomas

Yes, I did. It doesn't show up in the logs because, I'm unable to send a message - it goes to the outbox immediately. And this led me to the conclusion below.
And by the way, I did get in touch with Apple Support who went through a number of troubleshooting scripts (including trying to use GMail's mail servers) and ultimately had me reinstall OS X from scratch. None of this worked.
Now this problem of being unable to send mail via my iCloud account, from the Apple Mail client, started only around the end of Feb. What I finally figured was that iCloud mail was using random ports on my machine to invoke its SMTP port. Everytime I would disable the firewall on my router completely, iCloud mail was able to send just fine. Recall that incoming was (and still is) working fine. Anyway, I installed wireshark to ID the ports that were being used when the firewall was down. I set up triggers on my router to open these up, turned on the firewall, but it just isn't working. I will have to play around with wireshark and see if I can figure out what ports need to be opened. Unless you or someone else knows. If I figure it out, I will post it here. Mind you, that I need to figure out not only the source ports that need to access port 587 but also what the real target port is (because I don't think it is just 587 as Apple claims).
By the by, when I asked the Apple Technician (some guy who I was transferred to after 3 other people - the one who asked me to reinstall Yosemite) if there was a way to change the outgoing mail server to use SSL, i.e., turn SSL to "ON", he said no there wasn't and why would one need to secure the traffic to Apple's SMTP server anyway? Seriously?

Server 2008 - Task Scheduler - Send an E-mail fails

When ever we set an action to send an E-mail in the Server 2008 Task Scheduler GUI, we get a "Task failed" result of
"Cannot modify or delete an object that was not added using the COM+ Admin SDK (0x8004020D) once the task gets to that step.
I have tried creating tasks that do nothing but try and send an email using the new functionality of the Task Manager and it fails with the exact same error, So I have narrowed it down to the email action being the culprit. As soon as I remove it from the other tasks, everything works as planned.
Is there a fix for this? Is there a permission I need to set somewhere? It seems that some people have tried running the task as the "Network Service" and it works, but I have had no such luck yet.

Hi,
If a task attempts to send an e-mail, but the e-mail doesn't get sent correctly, first make sure that the settings for the e-mail action on the task are set correctly. The e-mail action must have a valid value for the SMTP server, To, and From settings. For more information about these settings, please refer to the following article:
Actions
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722129.aspx
Make sure the SMTP server that sends the e-mail is setup correctly. E-mail is sent using NTLM authentication for Windows SMTP servers, which means that the security credentials used for running the task must also have privileges on the SMTP server to send e-mail. If the SMTP server is a non-Windows based server, then the e-mail will be sent if the server allows anonymous access.
For information about setting up the SMTP server, please see the following article:
SMTP Server Setup
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/e4cf06f5-9a36-474b-ba78-3f287a2b88f2.mspx?mfr=true

How can I transfer the e-mails that I have sent from my OUTBOX in a webserver to Thunderbird?

I have an e-mail account in a webserver (STRATO Communicator), and I want to transfer all my e-mails to Thunderbird.
I have installed Thunderbird, and I have managed to transfer all the e-mails from my INBOX from the webserver to Thunderbird.
However, I do not know how I can also transfer all the e-mails that I have sent from my OUTBOX in the webserver (STRATO Communicator) to Thunderbird as well.
Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance!

Pop mail accounts can only access the Inbox on the server.
So if you are using a Pop mail account then there is a workaround.
In Thunderbird
Move all emails out of Inbox into other suitable folders for organising.
This makes it easy to detect the 'outbox' emails.
Logon to webmail account and move all emails from Outbox to Inbox
then in Thunderbird use Get Messages to download those emails.
You can then move those emails into a suitable folder like 'Sent'.
Please note than in Thunderbird, the account Sent folder keeps a record of what was sent by you.
The 'Outbox' located in Local Folders, is the Outbox for all mail accounts in Thunderbird. It is not a place to store emails.
In Thunderbird, when you select 'Send', it sends email immediately and puts copy in 'Sent' folder. However, if you use 'Send Later', it puts email in 'Outbox' ready to go when you select 'Send unsent messages', at which point copies are stored in 'Sent' folder and removed from 'Outbox'.

Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line. Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it. It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.

Mail not getting all messages from server and other strange behavior

Hello All,
Mail has been doing some odd things for me of late (at least the last week) and I'm lost for a solution to my problem. As far as I can tell, perhaps my Prefs. have become corrupted, or at least something in relation to Mail has become corrupted. Perhaps someone has a solution to this issue before I have to back it all up and NUKE the whole **** app to get back up and running properly.
The main issue I appear to be having is that Mail is not getting all of my Mail messages from my server. I can log into my web-mail interface provided by my domain host and can see there that there are many e-mails that don't appear to be coming down the pipe to the Mail.app client. I'm getting some e-mail's but not all....
*Here are all the things that I've checked:*
• The missing e-mails are not being picked up as Junk and are not in the Junk folder
• I have done a search within Mail for the missing e-mail's and nothing turns up anywhere.
• I have checked on the server end that I'm not maxing out my InBox or that there are any other service issues from my domain host provider.
• I have been into Prefs and checked my account settings - most (see below) of which appear to be as normal and are fine.
*Here are the weird things that I've noticed:*
• When I went into the Prefs. for the account in question, I noticed that my login had changed. For example - it usually it is "[email protected]", however it had seemed to have changed to just "johndoe" - I know this wasn't me as my domain host will not allow me to access any mail unless the login is the full mail address.
• In RULES, every rule I double click to check on seems mostly fine, apart from the fact that every "Account is:" the pull down menu just appears as blank. Usually it says "Account is: ([email protected])"
It's there last 2 items that make me think something is corrupted - so I guess my question is, what pref or file has corrupted and how can I fix it without having to give Mail.app a digital enema?
Any assistance would be most helpful - missing some but not all your incoming e-mail messages is quite annoying, as you can guess...!
Thanks,
Boz

Hello Boz.
This appears to be a rules issue. Mail is almost certainly downloading those messages, but they’re probably being processed by your rules in an unexpected way — given the information you’ve provided, maybe because there is something wrong with the file where the account settings are stored.
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
<hr>
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Write down your Mail > Preferences > Accounts settings or take screen shots of them.
2. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
3. Quit Mail.
4. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the Mail folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
5. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this solves the problem). If you have a backup of your data that includes a working copy of this file, you may try restoring it from the backup to avoid steps 6-8.
6. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
7. You’ll have to re-configure some of your Mail > Preferences settings. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
8. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
9. If the problem is fixed now and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
<hr>
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Delete mail from server after removed from IN BOX

I have a mail management issue I have not been able to fully solve.
I am balancing the same POP email accounts among the laptop using Mail (for home use) and my desktop using Eudora Pro (for work). Using Eudora, I can manually select to delete a message from the server. Eudora's manual deletions are flawless. Using Mail, the only option I can see that will help me do this is to select delete mail "When moved from In Box." If I hit the "delete" key, wouldn't that be the same as "moving if from the IN BOX?" When is the protocol actually carried out? On the next mail check? Immediately? Upon quitting and restarting Mail? I'm confused as to how this happens and why it does not seem to work all of the time.
Any and all assistance is most appreciated.
Much obliged,
Mick

Yes, deleting a message counts as moving it out of
the inbox. The commands to remove the message from
the server are sent the next time you check mail from
that server, but only if there are new messages to be
received from the server. Yes, many of us feel that
is a bug in Mail, that it should send the remove from
server commands the next time you check mail, whether
or not there are new messages to be downloaded.
Oh Gawd, I bet that's it. Yes, if that is the case, I would agree. It does not lead to efficient mail management if there needs to be a new message there. Do you know of any plans to change or alter that? Or has someone written an AppleScript of some kind to execute the command regardless?
It's a great command, otherwise. It's nice to be able to delete a message off of one computer and have it delete off of the server without any extra hassle.
Just wondering if there are any workarounds out there other than sending oneself a new message to get the delete from server command to activate.
cheers,
Mick
