Why can I download Gmail, and not Mobile Me mail, through same port?

I can download email from my Gmail account without a problem at the office, where the appropriate "port" has been authorized to prevent the firewall from blocking it, but I cannot retrieve MobileMe mail: both are set to use exactly the same port and scrolling through the various setup options, I couldn't find any difference between the two.
I was wondering if someone could help work around this problem.
Thank you!

They are both set by default at port 993, but what is strange is that Gmail works perfectly with exactly the same configuration! I tried deleting and resetting the account to no avail, for some reason it just won't connect to the server.

  • Why can I download Gmail to my mac's mail - but I can not send?  I have followed all instructions I can find but it still won't send.  Any thoughts?

    I have a strong desire to use the native apps on my Mac for mail and calendar - but my new position is using Gmail.
    I can send mail and calendar works fine - but I can not send mail.  I have followed all the directions and still can't see to get it to work.
    Is there a step I am missing?  Has anyone else successfully tackled this issue?
    Thanks
    Bill

    Are there any error messages to give us a clue?
    There is no 'issue', millions of people use Gmail with a Mac, they send mail so the 'issue' is with your machine so we'll concentrate on that. Post the SMTP settings that are in use for this account, post the authentication method as well, tell me whether you have activated Google's '2 Factor' authentication method if you have.

  • I am trying to apply for a job online. The site is not compatible with windows 9. They told me to download firefox. I do not want firefox as my default brower. How can I download it and not have it my default browser?

    I am not sure what you need typed here. The details are in my question.

    When Firefox asks whether you want to make it your default browser, say No. If it does anyway, the next time you start IE, IE will re-assert itself as the default browser.

    Best to check the answers before taking off at Apple...

  • Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

    I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:

    If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery

    For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open. 
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
    *****   Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion.

  • Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program does not activate???

    Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program refuses to be activated on the idiotic grounds that either I am not connected to the internet or my computer clock is not showing the right time?  If in New Zealand we're not allowed to use the beta, why does Adobe not have the decency and courtesy of telling us so and why instead of feeding us with those stupid putoffs???    

    I had a note from PS Pattie ; I can't find it here.  Anyhow, these were her questions and my answers:
    Q:Did you download from this location?  http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs6/
    A: Yes
    Q:Did you select TRY and enter your Adobe ID?
    A: I was then asked to "Sign in". I pressed the sign and got the following reaction:
    Please connect to the internet and retry. Either your computer is offline or the clock on your computer is set incorrectly, causing a connection error.  An internet connection is required. Please connect to the internet or adjust your clock and try again.  If this problem persist, please contact Customer Support.  I did so and was told "This page is not available"
    Q: Did you try to download again and install?
    A:  Yes, three times – each time 1.71GB.  I tried many other devices; none worked.

  • TS2988 I had to reset my phone and I only have one of my ringtones I had 4.. Why'd it delete 3 and not the last one and now I can't get em back without paying for them again!!! What the **** is up with that??

    Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.

  • Why can I download and install all of the Oracle ATS products for free?

    Why can I download and install all of the Oracle ATS products for free?  When I installed, I was not prompted for any licenses or to purchase anything.
    I want to know why this is possible and if there are plans to charge for it in the future?

    I don't know Oracle's ATS products specifically, but many of Oracle's products can be downloaded and used for free for learning purposes.
    Typically, if you intend to use the products commercially then you need to pay for a licence, otherwise you are using it illegally.
    This is usually described in the T&C's you agree to when you download the software.

    Why can my 8500 A Plus not download forms from the web?

    Hey indianadave,
    Are you're apps working from the front panel of the printer? You will want to make sure that you have internet connection to your printer. If you don't, you can follow these steps:
    1. Find your printer's IP address.
    2. Enter the IP address in the address bar of your internet browser.
    3. Click the network tab.
    4. Click IPv4 under the wireless/wired menu on the left hand side of the printer screen.
    5. Set Manual settings.
    6. Set a Manual preferred DNS of 8.8.8.8 and alternate DNS of 8.8.4.4.
    7. Click apply and try downloading the forms again.
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
    If I have resolved your issue, feel free to provide Kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided.

  • ITunes tells me I can't download movie. Not enough storage and u have enough

    iTunes tells me I can't download movie. Not enough storage I have the space I think. It keeps sending me to settings help!

    The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
     Cheers, Tom

    Thanks Liam. After the second ap download it asked me three security questions on iTunes and on my MAC it allowed me to set up these with no error on the third question. iPAD 3 now downloads apps fine.
    Apple really need to sort out this issue or provide guidance on this. Two days of the unit not really being fit for purpose - what use is an IPAD without the ability to download aps.
    Also NO Response from Apple via online tech support and it's now been nearly 24 hours - I was told by telephone support I would get a response within 24 hours or less, as also stated in the email response too!??
    It would be good to get a formal response from Apple on this rather than radio silence.
