Touch Mail won't use SSL or authenticate SMTP

I am using a Touch with WiFi for everything successfully except the Mail. Despite verifying that all Mail settings have been correctly entered as per my provider (Roadrunner in Milwaukee WI), I keep getting setup messages that the Touch cannot use SSL and cannot authenticate SMTP server. As I understand it, there is no Edge involved with a Touch to get in the way. My servers are pop-server.wi.rr.com and smtp-server.wi.rr.com. My provider confirmed that I had entered my settings correctly.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this? If my PC successfully accesses the mail via the same WiFi, why can the Touch not connect?

I have a different provider (WOW), but had the same problem. Here is what worked for me. Set up a new account, just as you have tried in the past. When you get the message that it failed on SSL and asks if you want to try without, answer NO and then save the account. It will warn you that it won't work, but that's OK.
Now from Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars, select the account you just created. Scroll down and select SMTP. Now select the server for your provider (which may be the only one shown). If the server port is not already 25, change it to that. Go back twice, to get to the main settings screen for that account, and this time select Advanced. On this screen, set the Server Port to 110.
Save your changes and try it now. Good luck; hope this works!

How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port?

How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port? on Maverick O/Sx. Cannot see option to use 2 different ports?

In Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab>Account Information tab - from the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):' drop-down menu select 'Edit SMTP Server List...', choose the server you want to edit from those listed, click on the Advanced tab. Does that give you the option you're after?

Mail won't use designated server for outgoing mail

My G4 abruptly started having problems sending mail through the bellsouth.net server. Even though the Mail preferences appear correctly set (I've been using them for several years and haven't changed any Mail settings), the problems started this past week.
I have two hunches: 1) the latest Security Update caused something to go wrong. 2) something happened when I traveled recently and used my primary drive (an external HD) with my host's iMac.
I have run Cocktail, Disk Warrior, rebuilt whatis, whois, locate databases.
Mail continues to try to use the .mac server for all my bellsouth.net outgoing mail; when the popdown warning appears stating that my message will not go through as addressed, the bellsouth server does not appear as one of the choices I could send the mail through. . .I'm baffled.
I dread calling Bellsouth tech support; they are generally blithering i*ts and not worth wasting my time on. They almost always refer me back for Mac support any time there's a problem.
Anyone want to take a crack at this? Thanks for your help.

Mail continues to try to use the .mac server for all
my bellsouth.net outgoing mail
Not sure what you mean. Is it that Mail has problems using BellSouth's outgoing server, then asks you to choose another server and gives .Mac as the only choice? Or is it that Mail tries to use .Mac right away? Is BellSouth your ISP?
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. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause 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 (if any). The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
Also, please update your My Settings's profile (and click Save), so that it accurately displays the version of Mac OS X you're using.

Mail won't use rules at all

I just updated to Leopard from Tiger on my office G5. I had many rules that regulated where incoming messages would go. Under Leopard, none of these rules works. Consequently, all new mail is thrown into the Spam folder under "ON MY MAC" This is NOT the behavior I expected from Mac software. If there is a workaround for this annoyance, I'd like to hear about it.

There have been some changes with file type extension handling for Snow Leopard. It now has a default program for any extension instead of checking the creator code as MacOS has always done in the past.
It should be possible for you to drag the pps file to your desktop, get info and choose which program you want to use to automatically open that file extension. Choose Open with.. and navigate to the program you want to use. Then click on the box to change all files with that extension to the program you chose. All files with a pps extension would then open with the program you've chosen to use.
You will still be able to open files with other programs by either launching the program and using the menu to open a file, or by dragging a file onto a compatible program's icon.
Hope this helps.

Mail won't use correct account for sending

I have the option checked for "Send new messages from Account of Selected Mailbox". I have several filters set up to shovel certain email list into a separate folder locally and taken off the server. When I reply to these emails, Mail ALWAYS uses my .mac account (which is at the top of the mail accounts list). It will not use the account these mails are addressed to. In Lion and before, this worked as expected. Now, in Mountain Lion, it is a problem. How do I fix it?

The way to fix it is this:
Open Mail, and click on the triangle next to, say, inbox on the left side of the screen. You should see the inboxes of all your individual accounts.
Now drag the account you want to use to the top of that list!

Connecting Using SSL Authentication Without Username and Password

Hi,
We're on RedHat Linux 4.0 using 10.2.0.3 (server/client). We're trying to figure out a way to connect to the database using instantclient and JDBC-OCI and SSL authentication without using a username or password. According to the documentation this should be possible but no sample code is given.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set /opt/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/lib:/usr/lib:/home/oracle/instantclient where the instantclient was installed from the 10.2.0.1 client software
and we are using JDK version 1.6.0_03.
We're also referencing the following paper:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/pdf/wp-oracle-jdbc_thin_ssl_2007.pdf
We've got our client and server wallets configured and the sample code we tried looks like this:
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import oracle.net.ns.*;
import oracle.net.ano.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.*;
import java.security.*;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Security.addProvider(new oracle.security.pki.OraclePKIProvider());
System.setProperty("oracle.net.tns_admin", "/opt/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin");
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@orcl";
java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
props.setProperty("oracle.net.authentication_services","(TCPS)");
props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",
"/opt/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/admin/wallet/server/cwallet.sso");
props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType","SSO");
props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "/opt/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/admin/wallet/client/cwallet.sso");
props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType","SSO");
props.put ("oracle.net.ssl_version","3.0");
props.put ("oracle.net.wallet_location", "(SOURCE=(METHOD=file)(METHOD_DATA=(DIRECTORY=/opt/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/admin/wallet/client)))");
System.out.println("At Here...");
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
//ods.setUser("scott");
//ods.setPassword("tiger");
ods.setURL(url);
ods.setConnectionProperties(props);
System.out.println("At Here1...");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
System.out.println("At Here2...");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select 'Hello Thin driver SSL "
+ "tester ' from dual");
while (rset.next())
System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
rset.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();
When this code is compiled and run, the following error is thrown:
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: invalid arguments in call
at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)
If a username and password is supplied, the code works. So does anyone have a working of using SSL to authenticate without supplying username/password?
Thanks
mohammed

Hi,
I just solved this. I noticed from another thread that I was not using the OCI driver (see below):
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@pki14";
Once I changed it to:
String url = "jdbc:oracle:oci:@pki14";
The code worked perfectly. One more setting that you'll have to do is to create the user you want to connect as externally:
create user scott identified externally as
'CN=acme, OU=development, O=acme, C=US';
grant connect,create session to scott;
Note that the DN should be the same as the SSL certificate that you created in your wallet.

Mail Application and Secure SSL Connection

I am having a problem sending mail using Secure SMTP. Does anyone know if Mail can support using SSL over an alternate port rather than TLS? Downloading messages is fine over secure imap. Many thanks in advance. Ian

Mail doesn’t support SSL on non-standard ports. Check the following thread for more information on this:

Mac mail: Use SSL on SMTP Server turning on

I recently received and set up a new macbook pro (OSX 10.8.3) and I use it in both a wireless and wired network state.
I set up some POP accounts in my mac mail, and everything works great. But it seems that whenever I switch between networks, the "Use SSL" checkbox in my SMTP account for the mail magically turns on (I say "seems" because it could be some other factor such as actually changing to a completely different network location). At this point I can send out no new mails. I tracked this down fairly quickly, and annoying as it is, it *appears* at first glance to have a simple solution, go in and uncheck the box every time. However, the frustrating thing is, as soon as this occurs, I can't get the unchecked box to save. I'll go in, uncheck it, close it down, mail still won't send, and when I go back in I find it's still happily checked as "Use SSL".
The only way I've found to solve this problem so far is to delete the SMTP account, and then create a brand new one with the option unchecked. But having to do this every time I switch networks is ridiculous!
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what's going on or how I can *permanently* resolve this issue rather than resetting up my SMTP account over and over.

This seems to be a bug in 10.8.3. I submitted a bugreport and Apple replied this was a 'known bug'. Hope they fix it rather soon.

TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

Apple Mail won't Authenticate Google Login with 2 Step Authentication Enabled

Is there a way to authenticate a Google Account added to Apple Mail using 2 Step authentication?
I am using the 10.10.3 and trying to link my google email account to Apple Mail. I use 2 step authentication for Gmail, but when trying to add this account to Apple Mail, I type my username and password and the next window asks for the code generated by my device. This code is not recognized when logging in. Further, I have tried logging in with an Application Specific Password generated by google, but this fails to work as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. This issue has been plaguing me since 10.10.1 and Apple says its Google's issue. Any workarounds would be helpful.

If the setting is greyed out perhaps you have restrictions enabled that would prevent someone from changing accounts. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts.

Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox

Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox account, no password prompted and account is online and enabled... Thoughts?

Have you tried clicking on the lock to see it it will then ask for a passwored. Otherwise, try reblooting.

Does the 'Hotmail' option in IOS mail use SSL to connect to the hotmail servers?

Just wondering, when selecting the 'Hotmail' option when setting up email on IOS mail, whether this automatically uses SSL to connect to the hotmail servers - it doesn't show any server settings when you view the account.

Hi Drewscussions,
Thanks for the reply - I'm just wondering about the security measures in place behind those predefined settings I.e. does it use an encrypted SSL link. I would like to ensure, as I often access emails off public wifi, that I have it set correctly to use an encrypted connection to my hotmail account.
My emails have been working fine - it's more of a question about what security measures are in place in that preset mail option.
Cheers

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server.

I can't set up gmail in my iPad 2. Keep on saying ' can't connect with SSL and ask me whether to connect without using SSL, then I press 'yes' and it said again IMAP is not working and tell me to see network connection and incoming mail server. No idea how to do anymore. Already tried to figure out. But not work. Can anyone pls help me?

Nope, doesn't pass verification. I get the spinner for a minute or so, then the alert about setting it up without SSL. Are you suggesting I disable Fetch and Push BEFORE I enter the account details? Because I never get past the account details screen, unless I choose "Set up without SSL" after the warning.
