Unable to connect to any email server - old MBP, 10.7.5

I am dusting off my old MB Pro to use as an email SPAM filtering drone using Spamseive. However, I cannot get the Mail program to connect to any mail servers, iCloud, other IMAP or POP. I get the same problem for all of them, saying “The IMAP (or POP) server rejected the password for user.” I have restarted the computer, deleted the mail plist from preferences so all old accounts/settings are gone, reentered all the data for each account, double checked passwords on other devices, etc. NADA. Cannot figure out why it does not work. Is it something to do with the older system software and Mail program? I am using the same network as my other devices.
Any help appreciated!

I should of mentioned in the original post that I have used a data doubler and lost the SuperDrive in favor of adding a SDD for the OS and a 1TB for the home folder.
Do I need to back up the data in this situation or can I simply reference the home folders location in system / preferances /Users?

Unable to connect to any ACS View Server.

I cannot read ACS 5.3 logs from my WCS. I have the ACS server added to the WCS. Below is the message I'm getting:
Unable to connect to any ACS View Server.Failed to access the WSDL at: https://10.10.10.90:443/ACSViewWebServices/ACSViewWebServices?wsdl. It failed with: https://10.10.10.90:443/ACSViewWebServices/ACSViewWebServices?wsdl.
Any ideas? Do I need to install any special module on the ACS to support this?!

I realize this is a very old thread but the answer to this is to enable the web service on your ACS logging server.
Login to the CLI and issue the command "acs config web-interface view enable"

N8 Email - Unable to connect to mail service serve...

I have my Nokia N8 for a good few months. Email stop sync-ing so deleted my 1 and only email account (Hotmail) and now I can not get any email back.
I have played with internet settings, rebooted my phone but still nothing.
Basically, this is what happens:
Got to set up email
Some text comes up about what mail can do and you have the option of start of exit
Press start, and it says preparing for set up, then it comes up with Unable to connect to mail service server. try again later.
The next options I have are to enter email and password or cancel.
If I enter email and password it comes up with an option to click on mail for exchange and I have to start entering user name, domain, etc or I can exit.
So, can anyone help me restore the email function. When I got the phone you had an option of hotmail, yahoo, etc etc. And that is what I want back.
Also I should mention, I don't have any options around pushing or pulling email as it never gets that far into setting up email.
I live in the UK, so was wondering if I should just take it into my local carphone warehouse who deal with Nokia support and demand it gets repaired? It's part of what I paid for so they should repair/replace for me?
Any advice would be good,
Thanks
Vicki
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For the answer of both how and why please refer to the post by Abi99 earlier this week:
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Symbian-Devices/quot-Unable-to-connect-to-mail-service-server-quot-o...
Please click the star below that post to draw attention to the expired Nokia certificate, which Microsoft Mobile Oy must renew to solve the problem! - Also use the false username and false password trick, if it is a first time mail setup on a freshly reset Symbian phone, to avoid any Nokia Messaging clutter, and then input server details manually.
EDIT: The expired certificate was renewed is now valid until 2015-07-10

I have set up a new email account however it is unable to connect to the smtp server as it seems to be offline - how do i take the smtp server online?

the smtp server is the property of the mail provider and running in their server room
talk to them
and make sure the ports required by the mail providers smtp server are not blocked by your firewall or by your router or by your isp

I'm unable to connect to any AOL servers using Mail. Other computers, iPhone, iPad all connect successfully.

Hello everyone,
     I have been working with AOL for about three months now with no end in sight. I purchased a MacBook Pro in late September and attempted to use Mail (later Outlook with the same results) to download my Gmail and AOL email. I confirmed all the settings were correct for both accounts and began downloading email. Once completed, I noticed only my Gmail had downloaded and AOL stated it was unable to connect to any of the servers. I engaged AOL and they've been making me try random ports, deleting profiles, etc. Nothing was worked.
     I am looking here in hopes someone knows something since I'm able to access AOL email via the web, using my iPhone's Mail app, my iPad's mail app, and two of my Windows laptops. Only my MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Mid-2012) has issues. I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with all updates.
     Tried using telnet but get "connection refused". No firewalls are running. I thought maybe it was the OS itself so I installed Office 2010 on Windows 7 in Fusion and Outlook gives me "an encrypted connection to your mail server is not available". This is a clean install with no firewalls, AV, nothing.
In both Windows on Fusion and my Mountain Lion, Outlook and Mail successfully connect to Gmail's IMAP servers but fail to connect to AOL's POP or IMAP servers.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for this.
Before I see your suggestion, I did it below that worked well:
- SIgn off the Mac App store (if you were signed in with another Apple ID)
- Leave the Mac App store open
- Quit iTunes and iBooks if they are running
- Open Safari, and go to Preferences/Privacy
- Choose to block cookies "Always"
- Click on "details" under "Remove all website data ..."
- Search for apple.com; select the "apple.com" line then click "Remove", then click "Done"
- Quit Safari
- Open Activity Monitor (search for it using Spotlight or find it in the Applications/Utilities folder)
- In Activity Monitor, search for "storeagent". You should find "storeagent" and possibly "ibookstoreagent"
- Select each of them and force quit them (using the X in the toolbar if you are using Mavericks)
- In the Finder, go to the ~/Library/Cookies folder (go to ~/Library using the "Go" menu while pressing Alt then open the Cookies folder)
- Delete   "com.apple.appstore.cookies"   and empty the trash.
- Go to the Mac App Store and sign in. This should work. You can press Esc if asked for your username and password a second time.
- Go to Safari, then Preferences/Privacy
- Choose to block cookies "from third parties and advertisers"
- Go back to the Mac App Store. You should be able to use it "normally".
Some steps might be overkill, but it seems to work for me now.
Anyway, thanks!!

TouchSmart 600 unable to connect to Internet & email accounts. Error Code 0x80070057

TouchSmart 600 unable to connect to Internet & email accounts. Receive Windows Network Diagnostics error message "An unexpected error has occurred. The troubleshooting wizard can't continue" Error Code: 0x80070057. Using old laptop to send this message. Tried to restore back to a certain date but was only able to restore back to latest Windows download which did not correct my problem. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same problem connecting to the Internet that it is. It is more intermittent than permanent though. I have updated the driver from HP site, but no change. From the searches on the web problem seems more widespread though. HP do something! Please!

Intermittent proxy error "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server "

Hi all,
From time to time (at least once a day), the following message pops up on the user's screen:
"There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server . Error Code 80000000)."
If we click "OK" it goes away and everything continues to work although sometimes Outlook disconnects. It is quite annoying...
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
For the security alert issue, I'd like to recommend you check the name in the alert windows, and confirm if the name is in your certificate.
Additionally, to narrow down the cause, when the Outlook client cannot connect again, I recommand you firstly check the connectivity by using Test E-mail AutoConfiguration. For more information, you can refe to the following article:

BO 4.0: Database error:Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon

Hello Experts,
I have enabled a 'SSO to database' between SAP BW and Business objects by referencing to the documents related to below link.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/HowtosetupSSOagainstSAPBWinSBOBI4.0forLDAPusers
I have created a universe connection with option 'use single sign on when refreshing reports at view time' and have created a universe on top of my BEx query by log-in to the universe designer tools using my LDAP account.
Now when I run the report with either SAP account or LDAP - I am able to run a adhoc webi report on this universe and get data either through the webi rich client or via BO 4.0 Info-view/Launch Pad.
But the issue is that when other users are trying to run webi queries on this universe either through Info-view/launch pad or rich client by log-in via LDAP Authentication - they get the below error: I have given SAP_ALL to this user for time being and also have done the necessary configuration for 'simple user format' in CMC so these user has 1 account with 3 alias definitions: Enterprise, SAP, R/3.
Database error: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon data -
If the user logs on into the BO 4.0 Info-view/launch pad or webi rich client using his SAP authentication than he is able to run and retrieve data.
I also get a dump in the SAP BW system - I analyzed the dump in SAP BW using st22 tcode and it gives the error short text as - Incomplete logon data and run-time error - CALL_FUNCTION_SIGNON_INCOMPL
Desired outcome:
I want the users to log-in to webi rich client or BO 4.0 Launch pad/Info-view using their 'LDAP' authentication and run reports against the universe on SAP BW/BEx query without any errors or additional username/password requirements.
Can someone please tell me if I am missing any steps/configuration and guide me to achieve the above mentioned desired result ?
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
CD.

Whether your problem is solved?
We have the same problem in BO Mobile.
Two users from one BW-role, BO-groups; one user report is executed, another user - error incomplete logon data. In Web Intelligence both users reports succeeds.

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

SSRS 2012 with SharePoint 2010: Unable to connect to the remote server

We had originally installed SSRS 2012 with SP 2010 and I did not like how the installation was configured, so we uninstalled everything and removed the SSRS server from the SharePoint farm and uninstalled all the SQL bits (SSRS was deployed to web tier in
sharepoint mode).
I've since added a new application server to host the SSRS SharePoint Mode and Installed the reporting services add-in on the WFE. For reference, I have 1 WFE and 2 App Servers. the WFE has the Reporting Service Add-in and both App Servers have
the SharePoint mode of SSRS installed as described here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh479774(v=sql.110).aspx
I've also installed the Service Application and all seems to work well up until I make an attempt to create a report or data source on the WFE.
It looks like somewhere, the WFE is still looking to connect to the original SSRS machine we installed. I've gone through registry, config files and the SharePoint config database to see if I can see where the reference value is. Still can't
find it anywhere. None of the Reporting commandlets are helping.
Technically what is occurring;
Add Reporting service content types and create a New Reporting Data Source through UI
ULS Logs go after the url: /_layouts/ReportServer/NewSharedDataSource.rsds
Exception occurs after some time because it times out trying to connect to wrong host. Exception below:
Exception encountered for SOAP method GetSystemProperties: System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond <WRONG HOST IP>:80

Issue an iisreset on the WFE, and validate that SSRS Service is running on the App servers.

AzCopy worked, suddenly stopped working, unable to connect to the remote server

AzCopy was working fine, I was transferring about 670 files to my Azure Files storage account on "https://blah.file.core.windows.net/myshare" (that's not the real account), then it stopped after about 400 files.
Now it continually gives the error "Error parsing destination location
https://blah.file.core.windows.net/myshare: Unable to connect to the remote server."
However it works from a different computer with a completely different IP address in another part of the country.
I am 100% sure my azcopy command is correct, because it worked for about 400 files then stopped, and the exact same command no longer works. I have tried it with both the primary and secondary keys. I've uninstalled and reinstalled azcopy 4.1
and that doesn't help.
Is Azure blocking IPs somehow? What could be wrong?

Hi Sagar,
First, please check if the RAM is exhausted. When there is not enough RAM, this issue may occurs.
Please try to run iisreset on the WSUS server, then try to reconnect.
Also, please try to run the server cleanup wizard to remove the unused update.

Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server. (Error code 0)

Hello,
I have just commenced a Exchange 2007 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1 migration following the following guide: http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/07/25/part-1-step-by-step-exchange-2007-to-2013-migration.aspx
As per the above guide, my 2007 environment is now known as legacy.company.com and my 2013, webmail.company.com.
I'm using the same certificate on both boxes and it has the names autodiscover.company.com, webmail.company.com and legacy.company.com. All that seems to be working fine.
OWA is functioning perfectly, hitting https://webmail.company.com will pass the user off to https://legacy.company.com if the mailbox is on 2007. Alongside this, Outlook also has no issues connecting to 2007 mailboxes with the client proxy settings
being reconfigured to https://legacy.company.com automatically.
My problem comes when a mailbox is migrated to 2013. OWA functions fine and presents the mailbox but Outlook is unable to connect, presenting the error:
There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate.
The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target site webmail.company.com.
Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server. (Error Code 0)
If I modify the Outlook client's settings and disable "Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their certificate: msstd:webmail.company.com", Outlook connects and functions fine.
I'm at a loss and have tried everything I can think and find on google. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please refer to the following article :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923575
Cause:
This issue may occur if one or more of the following conditions are true:
The connection to the server requires a certification authority (CA).
You have not trusted the certification authority at the root.
The certificate may be invalid or revoked.
The certificate does not match the name of the site.
A third-party add-in is preventing access.
Solution:
To examine the certificate, follow these steps:
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, connect to the RPC server or to the secure server. For example, type
https://www.<var>server_name</var>.com/rpc in the Address bar of the Web browser, and then press ENTER.
Note The <var>server_name</var> placeholder references the RPC server name or the secure server name.
Double-click the padlock icon that is located in the lower-right corner of the Web browser.
Click the Details tab.
Note the information in the following fields:
Valid to
The Valid to field indicates the date until which the certificate is valid.
Subject
The data in the Subject field should match the site name.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
