TS3276 cannot receive or send mail, server off line "ssl off" how do I turn ssl on?

Cannot receive or send mail. Server off line "ssl off " . how do I turn on ssl?

Hello there, gillaf.
To turn adjust your SSL settings the following Knowledge Base article will be of assistance:
Mac OS X Mail: About Secure Email Communications (SSL)
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25586
Setting up Mail for SSL
Important: These steps require Mac OS X 10.1.3 or later.
1. Open the Mail application.
2. Choose Preferences from the Mail application menu.
3. Click Accounts.
4. Select an account name, and click Edit.
5. Click the Account Options tab.
6. Click the Use SSL checkbox to enable this option.
Selecting the checkbox will auto-populate the default port numbers. If there is a non-default port number already present, it will not change. You can manually enter a number if your ISP gave you a different port number. Be sure you enter the correct port for your mail server here when selecting SSL, even if it auto-populates a default number.
Note: If SSL is accidentally set up when it should not be, or is configured using the incorrect port for your mail server, an alert box with a message similar to this may appear:
"Fetch Error: Couldn't connect to a POP host name mail.apple.com."
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Cannot receive or send mail,my setting and pass word are messed upare messed up

cannot not send or receive mail,this is the first time ,iuse my imax,for this transaction.
i tried resetting but ,nothing

To anyone else reading the above question,
The 'answer' to my 'problem' was solved by deleting my 'btinternet.com' e-mail account from my iPad.
You can 're-install' it (as I did) using the 'Yahoo' option, instead of the 'Other' option,
Go to: Settings;
Go to Mail, Contacts and Calenders;
Select ADD another account.
Enter your previous Name, E-Mail Address, and Password, and Description (you can call it what you like), in the box provided.
You SHOULD then see the word 'Verifying......' after you have selected 'next', and then after a few seconds you shoud see four blue tick marks confirming the 'verification' of your details.
This is what happened the first at least eight times I re-installed my account in 'Other' after it had stopped working, and whenever I tried to SEND mail from ***********@btinternet.com, or REPLY to mail sent to me at the same address, I got the the error message:
'Cannot Send Mail',
'The username or password for SMTP: ***********@mail.btinternet.com' is incorrect'
when the username or password were NOT incorrect.
The next four or five times I tried to re-install the account I did not see the word 'verifying....' OR any of the blue tick marks, but I still received the e-mails again that were deleted when the account was deleted - though I still could not SEND or REPLY.
Hope this helps
Bob

Did it work on the iPod before?
Can you access that mail account on other devices?
Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

TS3899 cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6.

cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6. it was working up until a few days ago and now refuses to load on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4S
in the process deleted all my contact, very annoying.
all help is much appreciated.
interesting that my gmail account does work perfectly.

this may or may not help - but give it a try. On a forum some were reporting that talk21 is now under the yahoo umbrella. below are the steps this use listed. (This was an android forum, but the email settings should be the same. In short it looks like their server names have changed. An existing account may have simply been forwarded - but if you are reinstalling, it may want a clean install to the right servers.) Pay particular attention to the server names and port settings. (this thread was started based on a discussion of Imap vs pop - you are already an Imap person - so ignore that part)
See if this helps.
why settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3. The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3. This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi.
This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP.
Incoming server settings
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 143
Security type - none
Outgoing Server settings
SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 25
Security type - none Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
and enter your talk21 username and password The End...works a treat for me p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around.

Mine is Yahoo where POP is used .TB is IMAP . i can receive and send mails , but when making action on TB (Del or send) no reflection on main server

Hello there,
My e-mail is Yahoo, and Yahoo by default is POP user .
I understood from your help file that synchronization is compatible only with IMAP mail provider
I can receive and send mails from TB , but when making action on TB (Del or send) no reflection on main server, same when make the action on the main server (Del or send), no change on TB
from yahoo help I managed to find configuration for IMAP , but could not apply them on TB , as TB have already Yahoo as POP in the configuration list
please your help on this
best regards
Mohamad

You cannot convert an existing account, but you can set up your Yahoo account as IMAP in parallel to the existing POP account. See

Suddenly I cannot receive or send e-mail

Suddenly I cannot receive or send e-mail. Everything has been working just fine until two days ago. I hadn't changed anything in Settings, now I have removed and reinstalled my mail account, with same result though. The only thing I can think of is that when I create my account, my previous job-e-mail adress pops up as default. Maybe it does because when I bought my private MacBook Air and my new iPhone I transferred contacts from adressbook. Anyone recognize this problem?

Who is your email provider? If it's at&t/Yahoo then please be aware that they have been moving subscribers to a new web based email system. While it should not affect POP accounts I experienced weirdness until I activated the new web based system and changed my smtp and POP server information. Now all is well.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Getting "Error in sieve filter" message with each incoming mail and cannot recieve or send mail to or from iCloud account apart from Apple emails!! Please help!

Since approx 7am GMT I've been getting "Error in sieve filter" message with each incoming mail, worse though, since about 12 noon I cannot recieve or send mail to or from my iCloud account apart from I've been getting emails from Apple (ie I've just received a welcome one from Apple Support Communities...)!! I've had this account for years, never had a problem - it can't be the OSX Mail server because the problem is the same when I log directly into iCloud. I've tried sending emails from my Hotmail account to my iCloud account (a .mac) and just get undeliverable messages back. I'm really in the s**t now at work. : ( I just set up a Smart TV yesterday with a wireless dongle - that's the only thing I've done out of the ordinary. I've spoken to Sky who are my ISP and they say all's fine with them (although the router kept kicking my off the internet this morning which was strange...). Router seems fine now though. I'm really hoping someone here can help!!
Many thanks!!

Do you think once Apple sort this out I'll get my missing emails back?

Cannot get or send mail using Apple Mail on iPhone and iPad

Everyone in my household cannot get or send mail on their Apple Mail for iPad and iPhone. We all get the same message: "The user name or password for [account] is incorrect." This just started happening yesterday afternoon. No problems before that. I called my hosting company and Apple, and both blamed the other. My Apple system is always updated, so I have the latest version of Maverick. Had no problems with it up until now.
However, I awoke this morning to find downloaded emails in the same program, but when I go to "get mail," it says the same thing, and still won't allow me to send or receive.
Here's the kicker. I also use Gmail with the exact same accounts (yes, I need both since Apple Mail does things that Gmail doesn't, and vice versa). No problem! I get all my emails and can send with no problem. So, my hosting company claims it can't be them (makes sense). It only happens using Apple Mail, and I have several email addresses. None of them work (other than the strange phenomena of suddenly getting some of them downloaded for no apparent reason).
What do I do from here? I've changed passwords, deleted and tried to set up my emails, only to get the message that they probably will not work. And they don't. I have shut down and restarted my iPad and iPhone, to no avail.
Thank god for my Gmail account, or my business would be closed.
Again, this is happening on four devices in my home: 2 iPads and 2 iPhones.

I have a comcast account I use on my phone and use it for receiving and sending mail. When you look at the account in settings, you need to check each of these
incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
username: the part of your email address before the @
password: your password
outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
Under Advanced
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 995
If you cannot make it work from changing settings in the account, delete the account and start over. Use the "Other" setting when starting the account. It is a POP3 account and make the entries I gave you. Once you do that, it should check the entries and validate the account. You shouldn't have any trouble from there. Those settings will work from either the iPhone on cell, or wireless. Mine will even work when I'm at home on my wireless there, which is on the Comcast network.
Hope that helps you.

TS1307 Cannot receive .mac e-mail on my two older Macs running Mail 2.1.3 on OSX 10.4.11 since the last weekend.

Cannot receive .mac e-mail on my two older Macs running Mail 2.1.3 on OSX 10.4.11 since the last weekend.
Still sends mac.com e-mails and all other "non mac.com" e-mails on "Mail" are working fine incoming and outgoing?
Cannot access via i-cloud on 10.4.11 as told not supported and cannot update for old I-mac as later OS not suitable for processor on imac
Works OK on Macbook air with current OSX
HELP.....Please??

IT WORKS!
Though it doesn't tell you this in the password error message, the problem IS the new Apple ID password requirements.
FIRST go to https://iforgot.apple.com/ and CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD. In my case, my old password didn't use at least one capital (upper case) letter, and that was preventing the whole thing from working. When all the little password criteria lights are green, you're good. Save as you exit your browser if it asks you to.
Then open Mail, preferences, accounts, and click on the plus sign to create a new account called iCloud Mail.
These are the settings I used:
Account settings:
Description: iCloud Mail
email address: [email protected]
Full Name: John Doe
incoming Mail Server: imap.mail.me.com
User Name: John Doe
password: (enter new Apple ID password)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.mail.me.com
Server settings:
Server port: 587
check box Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) yes, check it
Authentication: Password
User Name: [email protected]
Password: enter new Apple ID password
Click on Advanced tab:
Check "Enable this account"
Check "Include when automatically checking for mail
ignore Compact mailboxes automatically
Check Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes
IMAP path prefix: leave blank
Port: 993
Check Use SSL
Authentication: Password
Be sure to save the settings when asked after you close the accounts window.
O.K., this little part may be a complete coincidence, but in mail, nothing happened when I hit "get mail". Then, when I clicked on the little "broken" icon on iCloud mail on the left, it sprang to life and imported all my mail from iCloud. However, as I say, that may have been unnecessary and a complete coincidence of timing as I had hit "get mail" previously.
If that doesn't work, try shaking dried chicken bones tied with cat gut over your machine.
Best of luck!
