Upgraded to 10.4.9 now cant receive or send emails using Mail.app

I just upgraded to 10.4.9 from 10.2.8 and now the new Mail.app(v2.1) can't receive or send emails.
"Sent" emails only get to the Outbox for trying again later.
"Get Mail" is answered after 20 seconds with an error stating among other things "The attempt to read data from the server "xxx.xxx.xx.x" failed"
I connect to the internet through ethernet which is connected to my work's server setup. Ethernet is at the top of the list of the Network Config Options.
Tried removing the Mail preference file and reentering settings - after settings added, says the server cannot be found.
It's a Mail.app issue as accessing the web is no problem, sending and receiving mail using Eudora and Thunderbird is no problem.
The problem occurred after I went to 10.4.9 as I received an email in the short time I was on 10.4.6.
Tried reinstalling Mail from install disk but it didn't want to install an older version of the program it seems.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Mac OS X 10.4.7 introduced connection issues in Mail similar to what you’re observing as a result of (according to the documentation) “Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy”. If that’s the problem, it can usually be fixed by going to System Preferences > Network, choosing the network port configuration used to connect to Internet from the Show popup menu and disabling the SOCKS Proxy in the Proxies section, if it’s enabled.
And while you’re at it, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.

  • TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password.  This started yesterday.  I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

    I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address.  This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so.  There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail.  I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

    I fixed the problem.  I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password.  No more pop-ups

  • Since "upgrading" to OSX ML, I can't receive or send email. Why?

    Since "upgrading" to OS X Mountain Lion, I can't receive or send emails in my @icoud or @me mail accounts and when I delete old messages in the Inbox, they come back the next time I check the Inbox. oes anyone know why the mail is this screwed-up? I've been forced to reroute all of my mail to my windows Outlook account to receive them.

    Go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure your account info is correct, delete the password and reenter to be sure it is clean.  Go to Mail and then open Preferences and check the account informaiton for the iCloud account and again, delete and reenter the password for the account.  Sometimes the passwords get garbled during an upgrade.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can't delete/move emails using Mail app

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and having problems with my Mail application.
    The long and short of it is that I cannot delete or move emails from my Inbox.  When I select an email in the preview panel and delete it, it disappears, but when I select the Trash folder, it isn't in there.  And when I go back to my Inbox, lo and behold, it is back there again, as if I had never deleted it.  The same holds true when I try to move an email from my Inbox to one of my iCloud folders.
    Emails come in to my Inbox just fine.
    And I am able to move emails from one iCloud folder to another, however.
    And I do not have this problem when I access my email via Iphone, ipad or icloud.com.  In fact, when I delete an email from my iphone, it gets deleted from my Inbox on my Mail app.
    I looked in Mail Preferences, and I have one Account set up:   iCloud IMAP.   Is that right?  I use me.com for my email.
    Any ideas here?

    This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • I cant receive or send emails

    I recently replaced my blackberry 8250 with a blackberry 9350. Before doing so I transferred all my emails onto my new phone. But now when I try to send a message theres a red X and it says 'Transaction error-failure at service'...I haven't received anything either since I switched phones, please may somebody help me! My emails are so important I need it up and running asap

    Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
    Then, additional things you might try:
    1) Register HRT:     (OS5) Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > Scoll to any line entry and > press the Menu key  > and then click Register Now. If you have an OS 6 device, Look at Options > Device > Advanced... etc.
    2) Resend Service Books:   KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

  • Loaded Outlook mobile app and now I can't send emails through Mail ("Unable to verify account information" error message).  Can't use the Authenticator number, either.  Help!

    I installed the Outlook mobile app on my iPhone using my Hotmail email address and the authenticator code.  It works, but I can no longer send emails from Mail.  I have not forgotten the password, so I don't know why I am unable to send messages from my mail email account (linked to Hotmail) in Mail.  Should I delete the Outlook mobile app?  Please help!  Thanks.

  • Since upgrade to iOSs 8.2 i cant get or send mail from my iPhone 6.

    since upgrade to iOS 8.2 i cant get or send email from my Iphone 6.
    I have tried apple support troubleshooting, deleting and creating new account, resetting network setting...nothing works, any gelp would be apprciated.Thanks

    Just to clarify, are you saying that now you can't send email at all, or just while connected to Wi-Fi? (To test this, just turn your Wi-Fi off and use your Cellular network instead to send an email).
    I know you have deleted/created accounts, but when adding the SMTP server is that being resolved by the iPhone okay?

    Hey there Darlene E,
    It sounds like after you changed your email password you can send email, but cannot receive them. Try out the troubleshooting in this article named:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
    Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
    Try a different Wi-Fi connection
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
