Where do you edit the MAIL connection doctor in 10.10.1

Current OS is 10.10.1
Product is MacBookPro3,1
Not able to send from email account (Telus.net) but able to receive.
Account deleted and reinstated but no difference in sending success.
Connection doctor shows multiple Outgoing Server settings which I believe are causing the
failure to send but I cannot find any way to edit the file or remove the duplicate or just plain wrong servers.

Thanks for the help however all that window shows are the Outgoing mail servers being queried. There are two of these outgoing mail servers that are not needed at all. I believe that the two addresses w the red dot in front of them need to be removed from the list of available servers. How do you find the file where these addresses are coming from? When I look in the outgoing mail servers (when editing the servers), the ones with the red dot preceding them are not listed as even being available but when the Con Doc is run, they are obviously loading from somewhere.
Suggestions?
Thanks

TS3276 Mail Connection Doctor says: "Could not connect to Apple Server's STMP. As Verizon is my ISP is this the right STMP? If yes, how do I connect to Apple Server

When using Mail Connection Doctor two error messages come up with regards to sending and receiving mail from my @mac.com account.
The first one says that my @mac.com account: "Could not connect to this MobileMe IMAP server." How do I fix this? Is this caused by the way I have set my preferences? Is this related to joing iCloud? Or my ISP Verizon the problem?
The second one says in reference to my Apple Server: "Could not connect to this STMP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account perferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL checkbox in the Advanced tabe of Account preferences." This box was not checked. Two days ago these problems did not exist. Again, how do I figure out who to discusses these problems with?
Feedback is most welcome.

Where is the mail.log in Leopard

I can't find the mail.log in the console logs. Where is it?

I don't see anything in /var/log named mail.log. What am I looking for?
The details in Mail Connection Doctor would be perfect if they are logged somewhere. I'm fairly new to Apple and see they log just about everything else.
I'm having intermittent password issues with Mail where it does not connect to the mail server and I have to enter my password even though it's stored in the keychain. I'd like to see a connection log that I can look over to try and find the problem. I think it's a problem with my ISP. The error does not happen on a regular basis and I've never had Connection Doctor running when it has happened and thought there might be a mail log somewhere.

Where did the mail go?

A friend sent me pictures he posted on Google+ but he sent the link to my work e-mail. I tried to forward the email message to my personal icloud account but it never showed up. My wife tried to forward her copy of the same e-mail and that never showed up either. I don't use Google or any other online picture posting app. Do these services prevent forwarding? Or where did the mail go? It's not in my Junk folder.

Mail Connection Doctor displays mirror accounts

I recently upgraded my DSL service. After the upgrade, I was unable to send mail through Mac Mail. I eventually got my mail up and running (though I'm not even sure how), but while troubleshooting the problem with Mail Connection Doctor, I discovered that I have two "mirror" email accounts. The first lists the account name as my name (which is how I have my email account configured). The second lists the account name as "mail.(me).com," which is my outgoing mail server. I only have one account -- it's a POP account through a hosting company (my own domain). If I open mail / preferences / accounts, I only have one account listed, so I can't simply select the second, superfluous account and delete it. The second account only appears in Mail Connection Doctor -- not in my preferences. I'd like to delete it because I think it may be causing some of my problems, but I can't figure out how to do it. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Txs, Jim, Your suggestion put me in the right direction. Under the preferences, I first set every outoiung mail server to "none" using the pop-up window. After restarting Mail.app, the problem persisted!
Next I edited the outgoing mail server list, *removing* all superfluous mail servers. After restarting again, the Connection Doctor only gave results for the only remaining account (the gmail one): a check for the incoming mail, and a second one for the outgoing mail server.
So, thanks to You, I resolved this problem.
Unfortunately, I had to remove all info of the outgoing mail servers of the disabled mail accounts. Let's hope I can remember them when in the future I slhould have to re-enable them.

Where is the database connection for a mobile site?

I have a Flash mobile site that I didn't create, but need to edit. On clicking the submit button it checks that the login & password are in a SQL database. The problem is, I can't find the method that runs a query on the database or where the database is even connected. I've tried searching through the code for words like "SQL", "database", and "connection" without success. I stepped through the code where I find a call to method "super", but then it goes back to the original method and then the user is logged in. Can someone explain where the call to the database is?
Other things I'd like to know are: Where is the SQL Connection? In the main (non-mobile site), there is a web.config with a line that says
<add name="TPConnectionString1" connectionString="DataSource=xxx.xx.xxx.xx,xxxx\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=TP;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxxxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
Where (what file: ex. web.config, xyz.as, etc.) would a similar line in the mobile code be?
What does super(type, bubbles, cancelable) do?
Here's the method for the submit button: LoginView.mxml
        private function btnclicked():void{ techController.username = txtUsername.text; techController.password = txtPassword.text; var evt:TechEvent = new TechEvent(TechEvent.LOGIN_USER); this.dispatchEvent(evt); }
Here's the TechEvent function that is called: TechEvent.as
    public function TechEvent(type: String, bubbles:Boolean=true, cancelable:Boolean=false) { super(type, bubbles, cancelable); }
Here's the dispatchEvent method: UIComponent.as
override public function dispatchEvent(event:Event):Boolean { if (dispatchEventHook != null) dispatchEventHook(event, this);    return super.dispatchEvent(event); }

You are looking for an event handler for the TechEvent.LOGIN_USER event.
Coding style looks similar to a SWIZ style framework, in which case, the event handlers could be defined using metadata [EventHandler] or [Mediate] tags, but could just be a plain simple .addEventListener(TectEvent.LOGIN_USER,fn); declaration earlier on.
Either way, this is what has happened:
1. User enters uname and password, then clicks button
2. Button click handler populates the techController with relevant values then dispatches an event to let the world know it has done so
3. The event handler checks the techController and makes the login call
4. Some time later, the server will respond and trigger another event that the app can respond to

Where did the mail account selection go?

When updating to ios 7 I actually started fresh because I had a few issues with my ipad. I also am running Mavericks on my mac. In itunes, I used to be able to select which of the gazillion mail accounts I wanted on my ipad. That feature seems to be gone. Do I really have to manually add accounts to my ipad or am I missing something?

Where is the mail app log?

I am getting a message that a message is unable to be sent.
Port is correct.
Auth is none.
I'd like to see what response is being given by the SMP server, but running up console, I can't seem to find where the mail app is logging the problem it is having.

As far as I know mail doesn't log those. It is generally a matter of either connectivity (eg I get it when trying to send a message via a server, but the part of the LAN I am currently using is blocked from accessing that server) or of a valid email address, where the server is able to verify the address because it is local to the server. It may also occur where the both the sender and recipient are outside the domain of the server, but that doesn't sound like your problem.
If you really want to see what is happening, you will need to run a network sniffer (eg ethereal or MacSniffer).

Mail Connection Doctor is lying

Have been having problems sending messages through a SMTP server, others are ok but this one;
The other servers I tried greets with EHLO, this one old fashioned HELO.
Obviously from the log below, the connection and handshaking completers, even the initial HELO is being sent.
But it just sends QUIT after receiving the 250 response (ok), and lies to me that it could not connect.
I tried this with unencrypted SMTP as well, the same problem.
(SMTP works on the iPad and iPhone with exactly the same settings to the same server)
This has been going on for a while now.
Doesn't Apple have enginners that werent born when the ancient, and simple, SMTP protocol was introduced.
Do you even test your software against Sendmail (8.14.5/8.14.4, or others)?

Yes, it is obviously a connection check.
Mail makes the same SMTP prologue when sending, decides that the server isn't up after the successful handshake and marks it bad, refusing to use that server for outgoing messages.

Mail connection doctor not working on Mavericks

Hi, I recently switched from OS 10.7.5 to Mavericks. I travel alot and often face poor internet connections, and I have come to rely on the connection doctor in Apple Mail. But since I switched to Mavericks, whenever I open the connection doctor, the buttons for the accounts NEVER turn green, even though they are obviously connected, because mail is being sent and received.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Where is the mail folder in 10.8

I recently changed from 10.6.8 (snow leopard) to 10.8 (mountain lion). In 10.6, in the finder window, under the library tab, there was a folder for "Mail". I was able to copy the folder "Mail" and take it to another computer I have at a different location and keep both computers synched.
In 10.8, the Mail folder is not there.
Where is the application Mail, storing the mail folders with their content? I want to do the same thing of synching another computer with all of my current mail boxes and content.
Lee

It did work!
Thank You.
I did notice that the "Mail" folder in the Library maintains the same date, (the date when I installed Mountain Lion, June 11 2013 6:15 PM) even after there are updates and new E-mails comming in.
The size of the folder does change when I delete (put into trash E-mails) or receive new E-mails, but the date of "date modified" never changes. It stays on June 11, 2013 6:15PM.
Because the date never changes, it makes it hard to know when i look into "Time Machine", which is the most current Mail folder.
HELP PLEASE!

TS3276 Where is the read receipt button on the Mac Pro email?? I have NOT been able to find it?

Where is the Read Receipt button in the Mac Pro email?

There are no Read Receipts in Mail.

Where is the mail folder use/library in MacOS X 10.7.5 in a Mac Air?

I would like to know how to find the folder wher the mail application is storing the mails in the MacOS X 10.7.5
I know is somewhere in mail/ library, but I am unable to find it. Perhaps is hiden and I don't know how to locate it.
Thank you very much.

Actually it's in youruser/Library/Mail. The user's Library folder is hidden by default in 10.7 and later, but if you go to Finder, hold down the Option key, and select the Go menu, the Library folder will be shown in the dropdown list and you can open it from there.
Regards.

Where is the mail folder in Mtn. Lion?

I am setting up Time Machine to back up the files on my iMac. I want to exclude Applications, the System, and related files for space reasons, but want to make sure that I get a backup of my e-mail files. I have searched for the MAIL folder but can't find it. What is the path to where the e-mails are stored in Mountain Lion? Thanks

Hmm - out of curiosity - would the User Library be part of the System deep down in the file hierarchy?
@ ReidMac:
Not sure if excluding the System (or Applications for that matter) would be wise - it may prevent you from being able to restore from Time Machine in case your system is borked? If size is of concern - and since Time Machine keeps making backups until the disk/partition is full - have you considered a different backup strategy, such as a bootable clone which needs exactly the same amount of space as your system currently uses?
