TS3276 MacMini 10.6.2 Desktop e-mail has quit working after the scrapping of MobileMe. of

Help.
After receining multiple assurances that my e-mail woud be integrated seamlessly, It clearly was not.
It APPEARS the problem resides in a new format or address for the IMAP & SMPT servers, or Port selections.
Can anyone, anywhere privide me with what data and what format is required to elimnate these possibilties.
I have exhaustivly scavanged support & help documentation as best as I'm able.
The precise address' & formats are provided for Windows users, though I believe they a for marrying e-mail
to MobileMe.
Thank You for your consideration.

    Hmmm, here's the opposite problem/fix...
    Gmail send but not receive...
    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
    1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
    2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:
    https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptch
    Is your gMail POP or IMAP?
    If IMAP...

  • Mac intel computer OS 10.6.8, mail has quit working.

    Every time I click on the icon on the tool bar, it has to import my mail. This takes an hour to complete. I then click done. It goes to the mail page and freezes.  I have the rotating rainbow.  Beside each of my inboxes I have a blue circle with a squiggle in it.  I have done this several times. The only way to get it to stop is to force quit.  Then I have to go thru the import process all over again (another hour) only to have it freeze again.  I really don't want to have to log into each individual account every time I need to read my mail.

    Could it be that I need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    No.
    Delete the mail account, making sure to delete the SMTP server settings too, and start over again:

    Pay particular attention to the part about selecting IMAP over the default suggestion.
    There was an issue with servers this morning, but it now appears to be okay. At least for me anyway.

  • Mail has quit working

    iMac OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
    When I open mail the message viewer does not show. I can open the message viewer from the windows tab, but none of my previous messages are present. The connection doctor just keeps pinwheeling and does not show any activity. I am not receiving new messages. Many of the commands are grayed out, including quit mail.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • ICloud Mail has stopped working (iPhone, website, and desktop)

    Starting from yesterday, 1 Dec 2011, my iCloud mail no longer works. At first I thought it was a new update to the desktop SMTP and IMAP settings to my software (I use Postbox 3.0, which is based on Thunderbird), but upon further investigation, I see that mail no longer works on the iPhone or on the iCloud.com website. Mail just doesn't work.
    I suspect this has something to do with the fact that I have a legacy account ending with @mac.com. I've posted before about my inability to drop the @mac.com from my Apple ID, but that's another story.
    It's incredibly frustrating not to have access to this email account. The Calendar and Contacts are still active and accessible, but email is kaput. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help you can offer is appreciated.

    Ok, after chatting with an Apple support rep (as in using a chat room and typing back and forth like a bunch of teenage girls) I was able to fix the mail issue.
    In the end, all we did was reset the password. Can you believe that?!
    Try to change your password first on your own terms, and if that doesn't work, look for the link for a hard reset, perhaps under "Forgot My Password". Unfortunatley, I don't have the links handy. I'm really frustrated and I just wanna go home (after 3 hours).
    Let me know if this is helpful for you.

    hi guys,
    what rraiszadeh      and hambros     said are correct.
    go to your desktop, look for 'Macintosh HD' icon
    [double click]
    window opens.
    look for 'system'
    [double click]
    double click on 'Library'
    look for 'Frameworks'
    click on drop down grey arrow.
    double click on 'versions'
    double click on 'A'
    double click on 'resources'
    you will find 'WIDGET SIMULATOR' in there
    double click on it.
    NEXT,
    Go to Application/Preview, then right clicking on Preview and selecting "Show Package Contents."  Then go to Contents/Plugins/Markup.

  • Mail does not work after Update

    After upgrading to 10.5 leopard my mail is lost and won't work properly. All my folders are there but not my emails - when opening the window won't show I have to open new window - and when I close it, it won't. To top it off sending and receiving won't work as well. Any suggestions? Need help

    RobotKitty, you're solution was perfect. I included the two additional tasks recommended by Dave Davis and Jan Rijnierse, which made the recovery easy and total. I thank you all for excellent solution feedback. I wish Apple had this readily available as an advisory for OS 10.5.6 upgrade.
    SUMMARY of how I used your solutions:
    Quit Mail (forced quit).
    Removed the Envelope Index file (~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index) from my user account (Jan's note).
    Launched Terminal (Dave's note).
    Copied RobotKitty's text list per Dave's note pasted it into the Terminal window.
    Watched the rapid execution of RobotKitty's text in the Terminal window.
    Quite Terminal.
    Launched Mail.
    Followed onscreen guides to import my mail and watched my mail database restore itself (about 9300 files in about 5 min.).
    All mailboxes, drafts, etc., were quickly restored. Mail launches and quits correctly.
    I'm updating the Junk filter and checking out the new Mail version, and am happy again.
    THANKS many times.
    Joe

  • Mail is not working. The app opens because I see a light on under "Mail" in the dock.

    Mail is not working. The app opens because I see a light on under "Mail" in the dock, and I see the menu at the top of my screen, but I don't see the app itself or any windows. It is like it is running in the background, but I can't see it. Everthing is subdued when I click on the choices up in the menu. I have tried "Force Quit" and then re-opening the mail app several times, and have rebooted my notebook twice. What is weird is that this started right after I changed my password in a browser (it is a gmail account). I went into the System Preferences on my MacBook and changed my password there as well, so it should be setup properly to open. I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.   Any help anyone can provide is much appreciated.

    The current Mail version for 10.6.8 Snow Leopard is 4.6 (1085).   Run Software update or the combo updater ... Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

  • Mail app has stopped working after 10.9.4 update on July 4, 2014

    Mail is totally dead.  It does not connect to the internet.  Each of my email accounts has the exclamation triangle next to them.  No new peripherals or devices or USB connections were added after the update.  The system worked before the update, and the same system stopped working (Mail app so far) after the update.

    In your opinion Apple was doing a garbage job, when in fact it was Intego that trashed your Mac. That's all it is capable of doing.
    But now I have no virus protection.
    This is a common misconception. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Ill-conceived "anti-virus" garbage convey no benefit and as you found out, can simply prevent your Mac from working as it is designed to work.
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • My itunes store, app center, safari and mail won't work after upgrade

    I am very dissapointed in the new maverick upgrade. My app center, itune store, safari, and me mail won't work with the new upgrade. I called the help desk and they had me uninstall and re install the upgrade. he said i should have everything backed up cuz I will lose everything, but nothing was lost. It worked for a day, but now it doesn't work at all. it just gives me the hourglass circle symbol and finally times out. A couple of times  my computer gave me an error code that i wasn't connected to the internet, even though I could use chrome no problem. Another error code I got was that I wasn't signed in, but I am. Any suggestions?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Mail won't work after upgrade to 3.0

    I cannot get my Mail program to work after upgrading to 3.0. It starts, searched for new mail, then quits. I cannot get or send new mail. The program does not operate. Suggestions, please?

    I get the exact same thing. The status just keeps showing "Connecting..." and it never seems to connect. Oddly enough, I just updated to the new OS on my iMac at home and immediately after, I couldn't connect to mail from the computer. I had to manually download a component of the update and once I did that, mail worked just fine. Probably just an odd coincidence having nothing to do with the mail issues on the iPhone but I thought I'd mention it.

    Same here on an older iMac since Lion. Thanks for the uncheck wake for network access tip though, it doesn't do it either in that case, I will leave it that way.
