TS4002 Incoming Mail Server cannot be changed; stay "mail.beispiel.de"

Hello,
I am trying to configure iCloud within Apple Mail of Mac OS Mountain Lion.
Basic steps are pretty easy, but two problems arise:
1. Apple Mail is **** slow (irresponsive according to the finder) after editing anything concerning iCloud
2. iCloud IMAP shows the "lightning" sign for not being online.
The Server for incoming E-Mails cannot be changed, it is greyed out.
It just says mail.beispiel.de or (translated) mail.example.com
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
Karsten

Same problem here! I have Mail with Mountain Lion since weeks. Yesterday my Trash in Mail disappeared . I deleted my Mail account and tried to reactivate it again. But the IMAP server is greyed, while I read mail.esempio.com (mail.example.com in italian). I can't no more download mails from Mail! More, I can't activate mail from iCloud Preferences Pane.
I believe that all this mess is because of the me.com/icloud.com transition.

  • Can't reply to recieved emails, The mail server responded: 5.5.2 MAIL FROM syntax error.

    I can recieve mail sent to one of my 4 addresses ([email protected]) but I can't reply, forward, or send from that address I get the alert that says The mail server responded: 5.5.2 MAIL FROM syntax error.

    I'd probably start looking at the copy of the message in your Sent folder.

  • 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?

  • Mail server cannot use certificate because.. the filename is too long ?

    Hi,
    For some reasons, yesterday, I created a new certificate on our server (XServe with Mac OSX Server 10.6.2) and I assigned this certificate to the mail server. Since then, we are not able to connect to our mail server. We receive an error saying the server cannot open a connection on port 993.
    I looked at the mail access log and I think I might have found the cause:
    Jan 7 09:20:25 xs1 dovecot[1944]: Fatal: sslcafile: Can't use /etc/certificates/LemieuxBedard.com.264472D0EC029B3194A4B779D2187278189E8352.ch ain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem Bedard.48DFB4D5FA4786D77DEF02C72591002CC865D5E1.chain.pem: File name too long
    I don't understand why the name is too long since the previous certificate had a name even longer. Is this a bug that should be corrected on the next update or have-I indeed done something wrong? Right now, I disable the certificate on the mail server and it works. However, I'd really like to use the certificate.
    Thanks for any help.

    No, you didn't do anything wrong, JeanPhilippe. I'm right there with you. There's even another thread on this issue:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10808126>
    I had the same problem: IMAP & POP services would not launch using SSL. Finally got it resolved today. It had nothing to do with certificates and their names, or creating them in openssl, and everything to do with a botched dovecot.conf file, courtesy of Server Admin.
    It appears that every time I changed the certificate for IMAP & POP SSL in Server Admin, it appended the new selection to the dovecot.conf file on 3 separate lines. The result was an unhealthy list of every certificate file Server Admin had ever been pointed to for this service.
    After making a backup, I edited the file (/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) down to the single cert file I wanted it to use. It happened to be first in the list, FWIW.
    If you want to duplicate this, look for the lines beginning with:
    "sslcertfile"
    "sslkeyfile"
    "sslcafile"
    Obviously you need to be careful in there. But I did not even have to bounce the service before it took my changes. Thankfully, Server Admin did not overwrite my edits (which I've seen happen with manual config of other services, such as the iChat service.)
    Good luck, and let me know if I can provide more detail.

  • Yahoo mail server Cannot Connect :iphone 4 ios6

    Hi it looks like a lot of problems with the BT YAHOO Mail on iphone
    i can get all my BT Yahoo mail no problem on internet.
    BUT now i cannot get any mail on my iphone using the mail App.
    it worked perfect until i updated to ios6
    ive tried
    stmp.mail.yahoo.com
    apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com
    nothing works
    IT SAYS "Cannot connect to the server"
    Please some one help me solve this problem.
    Kind Regards

    I was also having lots of issues over the last two days, but found an easy fix...
    1) Go to Settings
    2) Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    3) Choose your Yahoo account
    4) Hit your Account name at the top
    5) Check you password... my password was not right -- don't know if it was remembered as an old one or if it was just dorked up altogether, but I corrected it and now everything is fine.
    Good luck

  • New e-mail server, all my old e-mails disappeared, How do I get them back?

    I changed my e-mail provider from Comcast to Verizon and when I updated the accounts in Mail --- all my inbox messages to the Comcast account disappeared. Is it possible to get them back or at least see them?

    What type of accounts are these (POP, IMAP)?
    Mail stores all mail in ~/Library/Mail/. For each account, there is a folder whose name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username, and the incoming mail server. This is where all account-specific mailboxes are stored.
    You should have created a new account in Mail, rather than changing the settings of the old one. I've seen people reporting that doing what you did caused the old account folder to be wiped out (and all the mail stored within it to be lost) without warning. This would be a serious bug, but I've been unable to reproduce it. It could very well be that the old account folder is still there, yet inaccessible.
    Take a look at the contents of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder. Do you see account folders for both the old and the new account there?
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

  • My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

    MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
    My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
    Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App.  It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
    Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
    Thank you.

    Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
    the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this!  I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did.  Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
    The lesson learned, never assume - always double  check!  All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
    Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
    Cheers

  • Setting up CF mail server to connect to ISP mail server

    I would like to setup a testing evironment and use my ISP's
    mail server to test and create CF mail applications.
    When I tried connecting to the ISP's mail server which is
    "smtp.comcast.net " I received the following message from
    CF admin "Connection Verification Failed". I also tried
    entering my user name and password before the server name
    (e.g.: [email protected]:[email protected]
    What would cause the communication failure from the CF server
    to the ISP's mail server?
    If I cannot get this to run what alternatives do I have?
    I am using WinXP pro. Can I install a mail server on my local
    machine and configure CF admin to connect
    to the mail server on my local machine?

    You can install the SMTP server on your computer.
    Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove
    Windows Components >
    Internet Information Services > Details . check the SMTP
    Service checkbox
    Then use localhost as the mail server.

  • DNSreport says it can't connect to my mail server...although the mail works

    When I run a test on my virtual domain at www.dnsreport.com I get the following FAILURE:
    ======
    ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!
    mail.thermal3p.com: Timed out [Last data sent: RCPT TO: ]
    If this is a timeout problem, note that the DNS report only waits about 40 seconds for responses, so your mail may work fine in this case but you will need to use testing tools specifically designed for such situations to be certain.
    ======
    Mail is being received and sent via the virtualmailhost with only one known problem which is the reason I ran the report - one server keeps bouncing my outbound messages back with this vague error:
    <[email protected]>: host
    INBOUND.FILTER.THEPLANET.com[216.185.111.115] said: 550 Denied. S1 (in reply to RCPT TO command)
    Here is the full report on my virtual domain:
    http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=thermal3p.com
    It would help if I could just narrow down wether it is a DNS record problem or a server setup problem. To me the server seems to be fine, but I also can't figure out what I've done wrong in the DNS setup. DNS records are hosted at GoDaddy.
    THANKS,
    Keith

    Your mail server is answering, but isn't answering
    with its MX name in the DNS record:
    Can I tell if that is a DNS issue or a Server issue?
    It's your choice. Depends on what you want the mail server's name to be. One option would be to change your MX record in your DNS zone file so that the MX host name matches the name announced by your server. Another option would be to change the name announced by your server to match the MX record in your DNS zone file.
    Reverse DNS is wrong (some servers won't accept
    email from you unless reverse DNS matches the
    HELO/EHLO name):
    I believe this is why the one server is bouncing me.
    The IT told me to check that. Now the problem is
    that I don't know how to fix it.
    That's why I posted the entire response for your reverse DNS query. Here it is again:
    ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> -x 71.154.29.157 ptr
    ;; global options: printcmd
    ;; Got answer:

    The "Authority" for the 29.154.71.in-addr.arpa. subdomain are the nameservers at pbi.net. The person responsible for that nameserver needs to change the PTR record for 157.29.154.71.in-addr.arpa. from adsl-71-154-29-157.dsl.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net. to the name announced by your server (see above, first get the announced name to match your MX record).
    Do you think I should be talking to my service
    provider (sbcglobal.net) or the DNS host (godaddy) or
    Myself (the hack that is responsible for setting up
    the server)?
    If you start talking to yourself, people wonder. Your service provider (sbcglobal.net) is the one that has to handle this.

  • HT4864 The Outgoing Mail Server drop down box in mail setup keeps reverting back to 'None' - anyone have any ideas why?

    Hi
    I've been having difficulties with mail on my Mac and have checked all the settings.  I have three mail accounts, 2 iClouds (different acct names) and 1 bigpond account. 
    Whenever I change the outgoing mail server drop down boxes for the iCloud accts and save my changes, I go out of it then when I go back to the iCloud accts the drop down boxes for both iCloud accounts have reverted back to 'None'. 
    Is this of any relevance?  Is it 'normal'? 
    I've tried deleting all mail accounts and adding them all again but the same thing still happens. 
    I have been on Apple Support and followed the Mail Acct setup tutorial.
    I'd appreciate any help on this matter thanks.

    Thanks for your reply Winston Churchill.
    Because I'd been having problems which had recently been resolved by AppleCare Support I decided to go through all my accounts and check their individual settings.  I found a Tutorial on Apple support for setting up or verifying email account settings and found mine were different so I changed it.
    In any event I took your advice and just went with the option of automatically setting the iCloud accounts up and I haven't had anymore problems thus far - fingers crossed.
    I do however note that my drop down box in account settings still says 'none' for the outgoing mail server and the 'use this server only' check box isn't ticked despite being ticked in the 'verify account' info on the tutorial, so hence my question to the community - did this matter and what was the difference?
    I will let sleeping dogs lie I think and will see how I go.
    Many thanks for your help.

  • Setting up Leopard Mail Server to access external pop mail accounts

    First I don't know if this is possible, after a few hours trying I am not really sure if I am doing this right.
    I really just want to have my Leopard Mail server pull any new mail from my web hosting company mail servers that host my domain (samplename.com as an example). My domain is hosted by a web hosting company as part of my website package. I don't really want to stop having the web hosting company host my mail portion. (kinda of a backup mail server of sorts?)
    My Leopard mail server is called leopardserver.local and not my domain name (samplename.com). As I am afraid if I call my Leopard server by my domain name (samplename.com) it will stop letting me access my domain name (samplename.com) from my other Macs. Also possibly adding in to pull from my secondary domain name's mail server, and a gmail.com server later.
    I am trying to avoid to creating the MX records, etc. if possible. Will my idea work?

    Thank you pterobyte. This process was much simpler that I thought. After searching on these forums and finding the syntax for the .fetchmailrc file, I found on a website how to change the permissions for the .fetchmailrc file. This is now working when I log in as me and start it up - I will look at making it run from root later when I have more time.
    I do have a question now related to the flip side - sending mail from my server. When I send mail from my server using the webmail piece or the Mail app on the server I received this message:
    <[email protected]>;;: host smtp-server.mycableisp.com[00.00.000.000] said: 553 5.1.8
    <[email protected]>;;... Domain of sender address [email protected]
    does not exist (in reply to MAIL FROM command)
    To fix this I put in the Reply-To a different valid account like [email protected] - this suppresses the error, but my mail is not going anywhere. The recipient does not get the message that was sent.
    1. How can I fix this so my mail flows out and gets delivered?
    2. If I change the server name to something like domainname.net, would this fix #1?
    Here is the interesting part - If I create the message in Mail.app that has a From field (not webmail - which I will be using 99% of the time) everything flows through the mail server and gets delivered.
    My logs are empty in the Server Admin utility.
    I appreciate being able to learn more about this.

  • Mail in iOS 7 changes default mail account after entering addresses?

    I just noticed that the Mail app in iOS 7 changes the sent from email address from my default to another account I have after entering in the send to address. When I first create the new email the correct default email address is showing (iCloud) but after I add any send to address it changes to another account (Hotmail) as the sent from account.
    I checked my settings and iCloud is still set as the default account, I can click and change it before sending the email but I think this may be a bug unless there is something I missed.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Oh, and just to add, whilst under Settings > Mail it does indeed state 'default mail account to use when an application outside of mail attempts to send mail'.  However also when you are in the Mail app and on the main screen where you can see all your mailboxes, the Mail App also needs a 'default' account, and in my experience/opinion this is pulled from the Default account within Settings > Mail rather than which ever mailbox is top of the list within the Mail app (didnt work for me!)
    But regardless, I have sent an email from an app outside of Mail and the issue is encountered:-  I have my virgin.net as my default email (via Settings > Mail).  I go into the Photo app, and select a photo to email.  My virgin.net email is showing in the From box - so far so good.  I select an email address for the To box.  My From email address switches to my iCloud.com address.  So this is the bug.  It should not be doing this.  This is the same issue it seems encountered by the original member of this thread.  Anyone know how you alert Apple to bugs in their software?
