Versamail issue - unable to connect to sbcglobal email servers

I am attempting to access my sbcglobal email account. I believe I have everything set up correctly, but I continue to receive the following error message: "There is a delay in server communication causing a timeout. Please try again." It appears that I am connecting to the mail server successfully, but I don't get any farther than that. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?
Post relates to: Palm TX

I recall SBC/Yahoo DSL recently changed the port settings for their email servers. Check the website and make sure you have the correct ones set in VersaMail.

Why is my phone unable to connect to the email servers since upgrading to 7.1?

I had no problems just prior to installing 7.1, but now I do. I've shut down and restarted my phone several times and the problem persists. Help!

So, here's the final outcome...it seems that the guest WiFi at my employer does not allow us to access gmail! (OK, this is an assumption but I decided to disconnect from the WiFi and was able to access gmail with no problem!). Thank you all for your suggestions!

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!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

You can't. It isn't an e-mail client, it's a web site.
(So far as I know. Yahoo, for example, does allow itself to be set up
as a mail server, so you can use a mail client with it).

Since updating to Firefox 23.0.1, I am unable to connect to our company servers.

Since updating to Firefox 23.0.1, I am unable to connect to our company servers. The error message is "Certificate type not approved for application.", and it gives me no option to create an exception.
In previous versions, Firefox gave the option of creating a security exception, and then everything worked as expected. The new version does not give this option, and hence I cannot connect to our company servers.
I can connect using Explorer, Opera, Chrome, etc., without any problems. Only Firefox refuses to connect.
Please advice.

The issue is not with SSL or TLS. The issue is with Firefox.
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions, but this is clearly a bug in Firefox, where the ability to create a security exception has been disabled in this case.
Other browsers, as well earlier versions of Firefox, allow security exceptions to be created, which completely solves the issue.
How do I go about reporting this bug?

FTP-client behind RRAS - unable to connect to external FTP servers

FTP-client behind RRAS - unable to connect to external FTP servers
A small network (10-20PCs) without any segmentation - one LAN with one Gateway.
1. If the Gateway is some small hardware device, there are not any problems to make FTP-connections from LAN to Internet FTP-servers
2. If the Gateway is Win2003+RRAS+NAT or Win2003+ISA2005, there are not any problems to make FTP-connections from LAN to Internet FTP-servers
3. But if the gateway is Win2008+RAS+NAT or Win2012+RRAS+NAT, the computers in the LAN are not able to connect to Internet FTP-servers
I made a few tests:
1. On Win2012+RRAS+NAT
TurnOff Windows Firewall for All profiles (Domain, Private, Public) - the problem disappears, it it possible to connect to external Internet FTP-servers.
2. On Win2012+RRAS+NAT
TurnOff Windows Firewall only for Domain profile - the problem disappears, it it possible to connect to Internet FTP-servers.
3. On Win2012+RRAS+NAT
TurnOn Windows Firewall for All profiles (Domain, Private, Public)
But I excluded the Internal NIC in this list
Windows Firewall / Properties / Domain Profile / Protected network connections
and the problem disappears again
My question is:
What new Firewall rule I have to make and where to place it (to be able to make FTP-connection from LAN to Internet FTP-servers)?
I made some attempts to allow port21, but any success.

Thank you, but did you try this ?
Can you describe in detail "exclusion rule for FTP traffic" ?!
In my previous post, I want to say that if you use Win 2008/2012 RAS+NAT as a network gateway, than it is not possible to make FTP-connections to external FTP servers from the computers behind that gateway.
And the standard attempts to make "Allow"-rules for port 21 in the gateway firewall (Win 2008/2012), do not solve the problem.
No matter which FTP-client you can try to use.
To see this problem, just make few simple tests:
">telnet <ftp-server> 21"
with firewall on/off and inbound/outbound "Allow port 21 rule (All/Domain/Private/Public)"
In my country, the Government Tax Department uses FTP-protocol to collect monthly data from companies.
And it is too stupid scenario (to be a small company and to) upgrade from Win 2003 to a newer 2008/2012 and than to not be able to make all your jobs.
-------EDIT---------
The same problem (and its solution) is described here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/0c68aed6-e22b-4cd4-86bd-f3c767e88349/advanced-firewall-blocking-through-ftp-traffic-rras
The magic command:
">netsh routing ip nat delete ftp"
solved the problem for me.
And here is the description of this command - "Disables the FTP proxy on the NAT server."

Trouble with connecting to my email servers

Hi,
I just bought my Macbook in March and it's great
But, all of the sudden, my Mail program has been acting up. It won't connect to my email servers on the first try. After about 5 or 6 tries, it will connect.
I get the triangle with the exclamation mark symbol, and when I click that, I get this message:
It isn't my email server, I don't think, because it checks perfectly fine in Outlook on my Windows PC.
It has also worked fine until today.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Any difference when deselecting "Use SSL" to turn it off for the incoming mail server which is available under the Advanced tab for the account preferences?

DirectNIC's customers outside of the U.S. are unable to connect to their email accounts using their blackberries

I work for directNIC.com and our customers who are located in foreign countries are unable to send/receive email on their blackberry devices. The problem started at the beginning of this month and we can not figure out what the problem is. Our U.S. blackberry customers are not having any problems. Our non-U.S. customers have reported errors such as needing to revalidate the account and when they tried to they received an invalid domain or invalid username/password message. Some customers said the email just quit working and they received an unable to connect error message. I've had one customer provide me with a link to their wireless provider's blackberry email account setup and I am unable to setup their email account there or any email account that uses any of our servers. All of our customer's email accounts work in their email clients on their computers, their other phones, and through their webmail it is only their blackberries. We've white listed all of blackberry's IP addresses and we've checked the server logs to see if there were any connection attempts when I tried to setup the email accounts through the customer's online blackberry interface and there wasn't even an attempt to connect to the server. The error message that I receive is as follows:
Email address domain not found:
The email address domain 'insert domain name here' cannot be found. Please verify this
information is correct. If the error persists contact 'insert domain name here' (your
email provider)
The problem isn't with just one wireless provider it's with multiple providers in multiple countries but the U.S. customers aren't reporting any problems. I am able to setup my personal email account through his blackberry site, an email account from my work through his blackberry site, my yahoo.com email address, and my hotmail.com email address. The only email accounts that do not work are the email accounts that are on any of our servers.   Some of these servers have different server configuration but all of them have all of blackberry's IP addresses whitelisted. Our premium hostng email servers have the same software installed on them as my work email server does and my work email account works fine when I try to set it up through blackberry but none of the premium hosting email accounts that I tried to setup through this customers interface will work. The problem is only with blackberry devices and is only with customers outside of the U.S. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas please let us know.
Thanks,
Priscilla

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Sorry for the delay replying...while your post is a bit old now, it still deserves a response.
First -- these forums are not a formal channel for support from RIM. Rather, they are user-to-user support forums where users help other users. As such, it is unlikely that RIM will see and respond to your inquiry.
What I suggest is that you have your affected users exercise their formal support channel -- which is available via their carrier. The carriers have the ability to escalate cases into RIM for resolution.
Best!

Acrobat unable to connect to your email program

Hi, can you use gmail as an email client when posting a file?
says it is unable to connect, is there a way around this? i have 20 files to different people to post each with a individual sticky onit, and saving each file then uploading would be a pain
cheers

You can't. It isn't an e-mail client, it's a web site.
(So far as I know. Yahoo, for example, does allow itself to be set up
as a mail server, so you can use a mail client with it).

IP Printing Issue -- Unable to connect and print

I'm trying to print to a network printer that's connected by cable to my wireless router using IPP. The error message reads "Unable to connect to IPP host." The IP address I used for the printer was obtained from the printer test page. I also specified "generic postscipt printer" in the printer setup utility window. My printer and network info as follows:
Printer -- HP LaserJet 4MV
Router -- Linksys Wireless G
Computer -- Powerbook G4, OSX.4
I've reset the printers in the Printer Utility to use the latest version driver for the HP. I can browse using my PBk so my wireless connection is working (in fact the PBk is in the same room as the router). Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I don't have a manual for the printer and I'm not aware of a print server being included in the hardware. The printer is simply a HP LaserJet 4MV which has a I/O card installed with local talk, 10Base-T, parellel, and BNC connections. I'm using the 10Base-T connection to my router.
On the test page printout, it lists several things one of which is "Server Name" but it's blank with no entry. Under the heading "Mode" the entry reads "Queue Server." Don't know if any of this is relevant.

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?

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!!

Network active, unable 2 establish a connection to internet, email, servers

For the last few months, I've had connection issues with my Mac Pro at work. Tech support (pc guys) have been unable to figure out the issue and attribute it to the network.
The ethernet connection is active and it sometimes works. The connections to our shared drive works most of the time. The email (via microsoft exchange server) works 50/50 and the internet browsers have the sketchiest connectivity.
A PC laptop connected to the same port has no issues. Other MAC users in this building are having the same issues but rely on the wireless connection when their ethernet is interrupted. I don't have an airport card on mine.
Other MACs on campus do not have any connectivity issues.
Please help!

It might not be DNS...
My MacPro has recently in the last several months just had period stoppages of Ethernet1.
I've been hassling with network stuff on my internet connection but twice today my MacPro just stopped talking. I can ping somethings but not others and Safari refuses to connect to anything. Email doesn't work etc.
The only thing I can sort of attribute it to and I might try is is that I have both a secure and unsecure network. My virus barrier stuff refused to work through my firewall so I setup the unsecure network on Ethernet2. Since doing that it is sort of like it just gets confused.
If I reboot the MacPro everything comes back alive just fine and when it is stopped if I switch over to my son's MacMini it is fine so I know its not my network or cable modem.
So I don't know if you have both ethernet connections plugged in, in your MacPro but I do and I'm going to try moving the unsecure one to see if the problem gets better.
When the problem happens its very difficult to fix. Only a reboot seems to cure it. I've disabled the Ethernet1 and reenabled it, unplugged, replugged the cable, etc... It just seems to totally die.
Hopefully disconnecting Ethernet2 will do the trick.

I downloaded the corresponding Apple app, version 1.0.3627. I carefully followed the sync instructions several times and was unable to connect. 4 emails with no response. Help

I received a cookoo watch as a gift. After downloading the Apple App, version 1.0.3627, I carefully followed the instructions repeatedly to connect to my iphone 5 only to fail to get a connections. I tried rebooting, turning of and on bluetooth and wifi with the same results. I have connected to the help link in the app and after four emails over the past week, have not had a response. Any suggestions? I almost feel like someone gave me an expensive bird house that happened to contain a cheap watch.

Definitely seems to me this is a problem with the App Developer. Hope they can get your cuckoo working.
