TS3276 Mail 6.0 won't connect to one of my accounts, only since upgrade to OSX 7

My Mail account fails to connect and it prompts me for my password which fails to resolve the problem. This has only occurred since my upgrade to OS X 10.7. I have verified all of the accccount settings (by comparing them to my iPad Mail account setting which still works). Is there a glitch in Mail 6.0? I have a 2011 MPB 15" 2.0 GHz 4/500 with Snow Leopard. Thanks.

I'm sorry if I sounded glib or insulting to you. That was not my intent. Ssince I initiated this inquiry I have shut off my MBP, left it alone for about 3 hours and when I returnned to it, it worked fine.
As for the test procedure, The top light was green (Connected to internet), the second line was red ( comcast.net unable to connect to this server) the third light was green (iCloud connection and login succesful) and the last line was red (smtp.comcast.com could not login to server).
I hope I haven't wasted your time but this has been occurring to me intermittently since I upgraded to OS 10.8.
I appreciate your time.

All Mail accounts offline since upgrade to OSX 10.9.5

All my Mail mailboxes went offline a little while after upgrading to OSX 10.9.5 and Safari to 7.1 yesterday. Still have internet access but unable to to get Mail up and running.

I have the same issue with Mac Mail after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks & Safari 7.1.
When I use hotmail via the webmail service outlook.com I have no problem to receive and send e-mails.
Also if I use MS Outlook 2011 e-mail cliënt, I have no problem at all with to receive and send e-mails.
The conclusion is that the problem is with Mac Mail app.
Maybe a tip to mail directly via the webmail service or the website of your ISP.

you can only use your apple id on 10 devices, so if you have signed into devices, and not signed out, that would be your problem

You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

2 X-Fi Surround 5.1 connected to one laptop, audio console only supports one?

M2 X-Fi Surround 5. connected to one laptop, audio console only supports one? Hi,
for multi room audio purposes I connected two USB X-Fi Surround 5. to a laptop. Windows detects the two sound cards correctly and via Winamp I can have both of them play simultaniously different music, which is great.
However, I can't seem to be able to make a selection between the two sound cards in Creative's audio console. I can only select one card, and of course, the sound settings only apply to that one card. How can I access the other card for sound settings such as 3D and crystalizer ?
The sound card selection menu allows me to choose between :
- Windows Standard audio
- SB X-Fi surround 5.
- X-Fi surround 5. Line / Mic in
- X-Fi surround 5. What U hear
I tried reinstalling the sound drivers as suggested elsewhere, but that doesn't seem to help.
Many thanks in advance !
Kind regards,
Cooled Spirit.

QRe: 2 X-Fi Surround 5. connected to one laptop, audio console only supports one?B Thanks, but that doesn't help, as soon as I unplug, the settings are "lost". It's the software that stores the settings, not the hardware.
My theory so far is, that this caused by?two identical?products : both have exactly the same?device name in Windows. I can imagine that when certain software tries to retrieve a list of available Creative?hardware, it might get confused when two identical names occur in the list, perhaps skipping one of the "duplicates". Windows device name is?provided either by the drivers or the hardware itself.
Of course, this is just a theory. Windows itself and software like Winamp seem to be able to handle this perfectly.
If I would have the technical know-how, I would try to rename the device name in Windows registry. Alas, the name appears at many places, I don't know which exact place to change the name, in order to obtain different device names. And that's assuming Creative software uses this...
Kind regards,
Cooled.

My macbook pro won't connect to one of my internet connections, it did in the past but not now. Can't be resolved with airport diagnostics. Help would be appreciated

I have tried so many times to resolve the problem and I have no idea what's up. I disconnected my modem and all of a sudden my macbook won't connect ever since. The only way to get on is to use an ethernet cable.

have you tried telling your computer to forget the network and then trying to reconnect it that way?

Won't connect to one specific page

Try visiting http://67.210.120.128 (the IP address of that URL). If you can reach the Web site, there's something wrong with the DSN services that your Mac and/or AirPort Express are using.
How is the Express configured? What do you see in "DNS Server(s)" in the Internet panel, "TCP/IP" tab?

Mail.app: Signatures Won't Save in one POP Account

Hi,
Looked high and low for a solution to this. Searched Apple discussions and macosxhints and googled the problem but so far no joy. This is not a major problem but it is quite annoying.
There are multiple email accounts set up in Mail.app (Version 3.6 (936)) on my MacBook Pro, running Mac OS 10.5.8. All except one account will save all my signatures. In all I have ten signatures, all of which disappear between launches of mail from a POP gmail account. I add them back at each launch and the next time I open Mail they're gonzo. So, I add them back again. I tried moving the placement of the account in the side-bar, still no-go. I have set Mail.app prefs not to apply the sigs automatically. I choose when and if I use a signature.
To add them I do as I have done to the other email accounts: select all of them and drag and drop them onto the email account in the Signature pane of Mail.app's preferances.
More info: all the sigs are all rtf formatted, most of the accounts are POP, though three are IMAP. No other account is affected except this one gmail account (I have other gmail POP accounts and other non-gmail POP accounts. This is the second to oldest POP account. The problem has only occurred since a recent Apple security update. Though I can't say that is the problem or just a coincident.
If all else fails, just as a work-around, is there an "applescriptable" way to add sigs to mail?
Thanks

I'm afraid I don't have a solution, but I do have a similar problem...
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion none of my signatures will stay where I put them, or they disappear. Previous to the upgrade everything was working perfectly.
I'll assign a signature to a particular e-mail address and usually within a day, when I go back to send an e-mail from that address there is no signature available to be selected in the e-mail composing window. When I check in Mail Prefs I see that the signature has disappeared completely from the e-mail address to which it was assigned and is now listed under "All Signatures", but these are not available to any of the e-mail addresses when composing e-mails.
An identical problem occurs on another iMac I use in my office, which is also synced with iCloud.
I've tried a number of times to delete all the signatures and start again, both on one computer and on both, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any ideas?...

Won't start OS X from regular account; only secondary account...

Let me try to rephrase my question...the only way my G4 will start is in safe boot; it will not start OSX from my regular account, only from a second account I created some time ago. Can anyone help at all?

Hey man--thanks for responding. You know what--I wound up reinstalling OS X, and it solved the problem. Not sure at this point what was going on, but the PB runs like new again. FYI--I also trashed a music sharing software that, well, we won't name names but it starts with a well-known member of the citrus family...we sometimes put them into our Coronas...anyway, this software had embedded itself deeply into my computer. I HAD noticed that this sharing software ran differently than anything else; left on it's own, it would just run and run all the time; and it was time consuming to quit the application entirely. Took awhile to get it out of the computer; without spotlight, I could not have done it. Anyway, all's well that ends well. 'Preciate more than you know you're responding and trying to help. --Regards, Mark

TS3899 Have just uploaded iOS7 and now cannot get mail as device won't connect with server. Apple ID is ok - any suggestions?

Have just loaded iOS7 and now I cannot send or receive mail . Device message is : cannot open mail cannot connect with server. Any ideas?

Had the same problem. Deleted my account and readded it...still didn't work. Had a call with Apple, and they couldn't figure out why the Exchange server wouldn't work. They had me set up mail through Gmail, and that finally worked. There must be a bug they need to fix for the Exchange Server.

Mail won't connect to one

In the last day Mail will not connect to my Comcast mail account (but it will connect to a different account I have). I have double-checked my settings and everything looks as it should. I have tried the Safe Boot and deleting the two files from the Library as suggested in other posts, but with no positive results. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I don't if these issues are related, but I'm also having trouble accessing secure web sites with Safari:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2041491&tstart=0
I am able to access these same sites via Firefox.

Hi Bryon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
On the Safari problem, (since I don't go there often I'll try answering here).
Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTPS, especially.
Mulling the Mail problem until I hear on Safari problem!

Mail won't connect on one mac w/ lion

mail works on all my computers except my macbook pro. It did for a while and now suddenly won't This is the error message I get:

Mail is working now. I edited the outgoing mail server list to delete and re-enter my smtp.att.yahoo.com setting and associated password, etc. (as suggested in the "Can't send mail via mail" thread). That may be what did the trick. But also, this time I was more patient when waiting for my test email to send. I had forgotten how long this can take. If you see the "sending" indicator spinning, go read a book or have dinner. The send will complete while you aren't sitting there watching. After the first success, subsequent outgoing mail will go with little delay.

Won't connect to one website

I have a 2009 Mac Book Pro. Last couple of days, our internet connection has been slow. Today, it crashes for awhile and when it returns, I cant get the one website I need to load on any of my browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox). I cleared caches, restarted, all for nothing. And, my wife's computer, 3 feet away, same IP address, connects just fine. Any ideas? I'm not entirely sure this is a Mac issue but I'm stumped. Every other website (including other sites I manage on the same server) loads fine.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Apple mail won't let me change font size in composing since upgrade to Lion

I go to "select" and it shows me the other sizes. I select 14, and it does not change it to 14, it stays at Helvetica 12. This only started with upgrade to Lion. I am using 10.7.1. Any answers?
Thanks,
Joe

I had the same problem. Here's a link to an article that gives you the instructions to change it. It fixed the problem for me. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57509815-263/how-to-change-your-icloud-mail -full-name/
