TS3276 iMac mail not working

I have an iMac and when my mail does not work at times. it will not send/recieve messages on my servers. my "mail connection doctor" says that my SMTP account has a red circle: "trying to log in to this SMTP account failed. verify that the username and password are correct. How do i fix this?

Hi,
Start in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and check the account in Enabled there for Mail.
In the iCloud one you may have to enter the password again if you have changed it recently.

    My iPhone is downloading an odd email here and there that doesn't appear on my iMac mail at work.Just read an email on my iPhone that I received at 6.00 this morning.checked my iPhone settings for mail,delete after download is off so not sure whats wrong.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
    No.
    If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
    Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • HT203421 Since installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work

    installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work properly. Applications show up in the App Store window to be updated but in fact most of them do not download and install. Some 3rd party software does download and install but most Apple and HP Applications do not. They appear in some cases in both the Ready to update or install list and in the "Installed in the last 30 days list". In some cases when I click on "Update" it shows in the "Installed in the Last 30 Days list" but it is not installed.  In the case of the latest Yosemite 10.10.3 beta down load, it momentarily show up like it is downloading but then disappears and does not install.

    I am now using Yosemite 10.10.2 and am trying to install the beta Download Yosemite 10.10.3 hoping it will resolve my problem but starts to download from the App Store snd then quits.

  • Video iChat on my iMac is not working

    Video iChat on my iMac is not working. The i chat buddies screen is up all right.  I can see my buddies' pictures on the screen.  But I can't start the video iChat.  It worked fine for a few years...suddendly it does not work???

    HI,
    In the Buddy list you can see the Video Chat green icon for your Buddy.
    Their Buddy pic is also on view.
    Clicking the Green Icon  (Or highlighting and using the Video Menu > Invite to Video chat) does what exactly ?
    Do you get to see your Preview ?
    Does it say Connecting ?
    Do you get any Error message or pop up ?
    Have you changed your router ?
    Have you allowed iChat through it ?

  • Mail not working in new mini mac

    i got new mini mac and mail not working. i get this message.
    You have Mail version 4.2 (1078/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button.
    dont know what to do
    thanks

    Should be Mail 4.5.  With Spotlight, check to see if you have more than one version of the Mail app onboard.  Also, make sure that there is one at the root level of the Applications folder, and that it is namely simply Mail before applying the Combo.

  • HT2216 I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly.  That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse.  Any clues?

    I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly.  That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse.  I only have a previous version re-install disc as I bought the latest OSX off the app store.  Any help gratefully received?

    Hmmm, no, no drivers needed, now it sounds like a bad install... unless you might have some old Mouse software installed???
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Any ideas why the video camera on my imac is not working?

    Does any one have any idea why the video camera on my imac is not working? I have been using skype on my imac for some time and recently I have discovered that it wont work, could this have anything to do with the mountain lion upgrade?

    Have a look here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090?viewlocale=en_US
    I think I'd start with the SMC reset.

    Hello,
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
