Unauthorised interference with .mac mail account

I have a .mac mail account, and think that there is unauthorised interference with certain incoming Emails.  There appears to be nowhere I can go to check with Apple whether there actually is interference on the log of incoming and outgoing Emails.  Does anybody know how I can get this checked?

No. There is no connection between Earthlink and your @mac.com address which is part of iCloud.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • My home envirornment is an older Mini Mac running 10.5.8 with a PowerPC G4 processor ( I know, it's old). I also use an iPhone 3S, accessing my mac mail account.  Do I have to upgrade my computer to a faster processor to use iCloud?

    Hello,
    You can't upgrade to any faster, & especially not to an Intel CPU needed to run Lion/10.7 for full iCloud usage.
    You can have limited use of iCloud the way it is, you can view all of iCloud in a Browser, You can use Find my Phone I hear, & you can use IMAP Mail for syncing, but no other syncing.

    Lord K.  Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple. I was just at the Genius Bar in Chicago and they said, don't worry about it.  It just floats out there, however, I can not recover my messages on a flash drive. I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me.  My messages were in folders for a lawsuit.  It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea.  We are talking thousands of pages!  I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried.  However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part.  THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

    I made the fatal mistake of allowing iCloud to handle my @mac mail account.
    I had set this address up with aliases and never had a problem.
    Ever since iCloud has been handling it I have had problems.
    It seams impossible to claim my account back from iCloud. How can it be achieved or has Apple set a booby trap?

    iCloud is the successor to MobileMe. MobileMe shuts down forever tomoorrow.
    If you only want to use the email portion of your previous MobileMe account you can. You do not have to use all the other features of iCloud, just like you didn't have to use all the other features of MobileMe.
    The email account has not really changed at all. Just the server address it comes from.
    The sending emails problem you are having, is this on your Mac in Mail, in webmail at iCloud.com or on your iOS device?
    When it doesn't succeed in sending, what does it do? Any error message?
    What mail server settings are you using in Mail? What version of Mac OS X are you using?

  • How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

    How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
    Pop account

    Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

  • HT4847 I am using OS 10.4.11 and since being asked to submit to the iCloud my .mac mail account has barely functioned. What must I do to regain functionality?

    I am, since submitting to the iCloud, having many problems with my .mac mail account. What's up?

    First question: did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August? If so, then you can access your iCloud email (though no other facilities) on Tiger by following these instructions:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
    If you did not migrate you can reactivate the address (though not its previous contents) but you cannot do this on Tiger: you would need access to a Lion Mac or an iOS5/6 device.

  • Can't set up hotmail.co.uk with mac mail

    Hello everyone, and thanks for your patience as I know very similar queries have been answered already in previous discussions.
    I have just bought my first mac after years of pc use.
    I would love to be able to access my hotmail.co.uk account through mac mail on os x tiger.
    However, despite following all previous posts as accurately as I possibly can, this still won't work. For this reason, I have transcribed absolutely everything I enter into the account setup below, to see if anyone can see where I keep going wrong.
    I have downloaded httpmail (http://www.automagic-software.com/products.php) as suggested on previous posts.
    Also as suggested on a previous discussion, I have set mail to run using rosetta, to help deal with any complications I may face using my intel macbook.
    My email address is [email protected]
    Now, when I go to set up my account on mail, I enter:
    PAGE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
    Account type: httpmail
    Account description: Hotmail acccount
    Full name: Alistair White
    Email address: [email protected]
    PAGE 2: INCOMING MAIL SERVER
    Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
    Username: awhitetbn
    Password: ******
    I am then presented with the account summary:
    Account description: Hotmail account
    Full name: Alistair White
    Email address: [email protected]
    Username: awhitetbn
    Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
    SSL: off
    Outgoing mail server: services.msn.com:awhitetbn
    SSL: off
    Next page: Conclusion: a new account has been created.
    Ok! All seems well, so I send a test email. However, I get the following message:
    Cannot send message using the server services.msn.com:awhitetbn
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server.
    However, in the pop-up menu, the only option I have is:
    send message using: HTTPmail:awhitetbn
    I would dearly love this to work and I sense I am not far from the solution... If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Where am I going wrong?
    Many many thanks
    Alistair White

  • Accessing my .mac mail account from 3 different ways. What stays on server?

    I access the mail on my .mac mail account (on the .mac mail server) three different ways.
    My laptop uses the Mail application and downloads new messages that are not filtered out as spam. Downloaded messages should not be automatically deleted from the server - at least I don't think they are. They were all erased at one point. Maybe my error. But not now. at least since 4/2/08.
    Why?
    Because later in the day I may want to access my account email from a remote computer via the .mac account page on any browser I might be using. I'd want it all to be there.
    Or I may want to download my email to my Palm Treo 700P using Versamail and read and respond to my email that way. I certainly would not want email downloaded to my Treo erased from the server because I would want to access that same email to store on my Mail account on my laptop when I return to the office.
    How do I coordinate among all 3?
    I think I would like all mail put in the trash via my Mail application on my desktop to be erased from the server after - say - 2 weeks. That's it. Only via the Mail application.
    Never via the Treo and Versamail.
    Never via my .mac account email application via a browser on another computer.
    Steve

    You can access a .Mac account as an IMAP or POP account.
    If you access your .Mac account as an IMAP account with the Mail.app on your Mac, and as an IMAP account with your Palm Treo, all server stored mailboxes will be kept synchronized with the server automatically with both email clients used, and when accessing the account via webmail using a browser.
    You can store the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes on the server with the Mail.app, and you should be able to do the same with the Palm Treo's email client.
    Send a message via the account with the Palm Treo, and the sent message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox automatically when checking the account with the Mail.app on your Mac, and when checking the account via webmail using a browser, and vice-versa.
    An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with an email client on multiple computers or devices. A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client on one computer or device.
    With an IMAP account, messages in all server stored mailboxes remain on the server until deleted, or until moved to a mailbox stored locally on your computer. All received messages will remain on the server in the account's Inbox mailbox - available when checking the account with the Mail.app, and when checking the account with your Palm Treo, and when checking the account via webmail. Read a received message with the Mail.app that is not deleted, and the message will be marked as read when checking the account with your Palm Treo, and vice-versa.

  • Password issues with Mac Mail-help!

    I created a new email account through my internet provider (Comcast) and I can no longer access my email although it is showing up on webmail. The comcast person said I would probably have to change my password. I tried doing this on Mac Mail but there doesn't appear to be the usual place to type in new password and then confirm. I am not sure what password they are asking for. The mail account was set up so long ago that I have never used any password when checking my account. I also notice if I delete the password, the password dots are back when I open preferences up again. I don't understand this and Comcast will not help with Mac Mail questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You said you never used a password when checking you mail. You must have a password on the account, I don't see how you couldn't.
    When you go to www.comcast.net and go to the webmail client, you must enter your username and password in order to get your messages. It's this username & password that Apple Mail requires in order to access your email.
    If you want/need to change your password, you can do this at www.comcast.net from within the webmail client. When you are at your inbox on the webclient, on the left side of the screen there is a link for "Preferences". Clicking that will take you to another page and one of the options is "Change Your Password". That's where you would go to change your password for that specific email account.
    Good luck,
    Bronson

  • I have a old imac OSX.4.11.  Lately my .mac mail account quit working and rejecting my password, even a reset password

    I have an old imac with the swivel flat screen-OSX4.11.  My .mac mail account has quit working--it rejects my password--even a reset password.  Connection Dr. says to "make sure username and password are correct", over and over.  Help!

    Hello,
    Did you change it over to iCloud yet? It does work in 10.4.11
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
    If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac/.me mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
        •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 993
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
        •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 587
        •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

  • Exchange Server not working with Mac mail

    Any tips on how exchange can work work with mac mail? I get connection errors.

    Hello Phil.
    Copied from Mail Help.
    An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server.
    Is the Exchange Server configured for IMAP access?

  • How do I start using my mac mail account on my ipad?

    How do I start using my mac mail account in my ipad?

    No error messages or anything? If your OE is still running and is using POP, there won't be any email for you to retrieve with your iPad because OE has downloaded the email to your computer. To sync email between your computer and your iPad you need to use IMAP settings on both your computer and iPad, not POP.

  • Converting Mac Mail Accounts from POP to IMAP?

    I'm just discovering IMAP for keeping my email synced. Is it possible to convert my 5 Mac Mail accounts from POP to IMAP or do I really have to start 5 new accounts & then deal with importing all that email to the new ones somehow? I've tried experimenting with changing the incoming mail server manually form pop.gmail.com to imap.gmail.com to no avail. Any suggestions/instructs are appreciated. Also, seems that, at least for gmail, the recommended Apple Mail client pref settings aren't current with Mail 3.5. Any guide to where mailbox behaviors should be set to work correctly for gmail & other mail servers (I'm using gmail, comcast, godddy and a private mail server) would be great!

    first you have to make sure that the email providers for those accounts offer IMAP. if they don't you can't do anything. gmail does as you mentioned but most email providers only offer one type of access. if an email provider supports IMAP then you have to create a new account for IMAP for the email address. there is no way to change the type of an existing account. once you do set it up it will sync with the server so if your mail was kept on server (that's the default for gmail POP I think) you don't have to do anything. It will sync automatically. If you remove POP mail from server (default for most POP providers) then you'll have to move your messages from the existing local POP mailbox to the imap mailbox. It will sync with the server and upload all those emails back to the server. That might take a long time and a lot of bandwidth if you have a lot of stuff so it's up to you if you want to do this. You can simply move that mail to a local mailbox in "on my mac" section. after your imap account is set and has all the mail you need, you can delete the POP account.
    Lastly see this link for gmail imap setup (also check out the link to recommended client settings)
