Why cant i disable mail service ?

Mail service got enabled when I enabled some other services (don't know which one) i checked a couple and it got enabled, i tried to disable it then but it wouldn't let me, back then i didn't pay much attention to it so of course it's not configured. Right now the server is going crazy with disk IO, ran iotop and found out there are 2 processes to blame, 1 is mds (i'll murder spotlight soon) and the other is qmgr which from the man page i found it's mail related, my mail is hosted on gmail so i have no intention of using this service. If i click stop nothing happends, same if i uncheck it under services.
this is the ouput on the syslog when i try to stop
servermgrd[69]: -[AccountsRequestHandler(AccountsOpenDirectoryHelpers) syncClientServicesConfigRecord]: Error writing ClientServices config record: Error Domain=com.apple.OpenDirectory Code=4001 UserInfo=0x10652ad30 "Unable to set value or values for dsAttrTypeStandard:XMLPlist in the record ClientServices."
servermgr_info: markrunning_servicesconfigured(): marked running services configured: com.apple.ServerAdmin.DNS, com.apple.ServerAdmin.SWUpdate, com.apple.ServerAdmin.Web, com.apple.ServerAdmin.NFS, com.apple.ServerAdmin.DirectoryServices
also, my syslog is full of
postfix/qmgr[3830]: warning: connect #1 to subsystem private/rewrite: Connection refused
I'm guessing it's required by some other service, i currently have...
DNS
Mail -> DIE
NFS
Open Directory
Software Update
Web
Xgrid - Stopped ( just testing )
Is there any way to kill it, or is my only way around it to figure out what's wrong with it (no one is using it for mail so i don't get why is it so busy).

Unchecked 'Enable SMTP', 'Enable IMAP' and 'Enable POP', then checked 'Deliver to /var/mail
That seemed to 'disable the mail service'
As for disk usage, i'm running a cron job every minute so que queue had close to 6k mails it couldn't deliver. deleted them all " sudo postsuper -d ALL " and redirected output on the cron job to /dev/null

  • Why cant I disable plug ins?

    I was using mobile broadband to connect to the Internet. Because it was prepaid and video was what ate up the most MBs I disabled all the plug-ins such as flash player, realplayer etc...that allowed video to run on webpages.
    This worked just fine and since I didn't care about video it wasnt a problem and I did it for over a year.
    Recently I subscribed to cable broadband so I no longer use the mobile broadband. I enabled all the video plug-ins and I am all set.
    The problem lies in the following. I gave the mobile broadband device to my mother to use for her desktop as I did. She has a computer but only uses it to check email etc...in a very limited capacity to where paying for a monthly Internet ISP doesn't make much sense so the prepaid mobile broadband is perfect.
    She is running Windows Vista and Firefox version-3.6
    The problem is when I go into her firefox to disable the same video plug-ins that I disabled on mine, they do not stay disabled which allows video to play on all sites which burns through her prepaid Internet balance at an insane rate. I am able to disable them however as soon as I restart firefox, they are automatically enabled again. I've tried a dozen times or more and have tried rebooting the computer, etc... and nothing works. They are disabled but as soon as firefox restarts and I check they are once again enabled.
    Can you please tell me what is going on and how to fix it? I Feel bad because she specifically got rid of her Internet service because I gave her this to use and now she cant use it because it is costing a fortune.
    Thank You

  • Why cant I send mail since resetting my hotmail password?

    I logged onto my hotmail on a laptop but couldnt remember my password so had to reset it. I changed it on my ipad in settings, and am receiving emails but for some reason i cant send any. I get an error msg saying my password is incorrect, but ive definitely entered ot correctly
    Anyone help?

    I was having the same problem. If you go into your hotmail settings on your IPAD and go to your Outgoing Mail Server settings you will notice you have a password entry in here as well. Update that password and it should work for you. I don't know why but when you just update your password for hotmail it only updates the incoming mail server password immediately. It takes a little bit for it to update the outgoing mail server password. If you have OS 5.0 or higher delete your account and update with the new pop server for hotmail. This should fix the problem as well.

  • TS4605 why cant i receive mail on my ipad from icloud, but I can send mails?

    Why can't I recieve mails on my ipad from icloud?  I can send mails no problems there.  This has only recently happened before it was working fine.  When I go to check for new mails I get the following message: Cannot Get Mail  The connection to the server failed.  Please help, this is very fustrating.

    I can hear that frustration for sure. I deal with it every day.
    I would continue to push the landline provider over and over and over. They provide you with the landline service. They cannot complete the call to your cell phone. Everyone else can. Therefore it is their responsibility to make it work or at least give you a reasonable detailed explanation as to why it doesn't work so you could at least take the next appropriate steps. Do you have a trouble ticket number with the landline provider? Make sure they give you a trouble ticket number if you don't. Without a trouble ticket number you will have to continually repeat yourself every time you call them. With a ticket number every time you call you could tell the technician to reference that ticket number.
    Like I said when you're talking with someone in a managerial position request that they do call traces while you are making the call from the landline in real time. They should be able to see what happens to the call as it comes into and leaves their network. If they give you any call clearing or failure codes please document them and repeat them here.
    I would also ask the Rep to also make a test call to your cell phone and see what happens. If they can and you can't then it is clearly a problem with a switch on their network.
    Good luck.
    P.s. I typed this whole message using dictation on my iPhone five so hopefully it all came out right if not I apologize if it sounds confusing.

  • Why cant I send mail from the mailapp on My ipad?

    I can't send maila from the mailapp on My ipad air. What can the problem be? Pelare help me :)

    The parameters for the outgoing email server are probably not set correctly in your Mail account in Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars.
    Check these carefully to make sure that User name, password, server name, port, and password are correct.
    If you need more help then who is your email provider?

  • Why cant i add my own sound to apps like facebook e mail and twitter

    why cant i add my own sounds to apps like facebook e mail twitter

    "add my own sounds to" - do you mean notification sounds??  If so, they are set by the App developer and can't be changed (other than disable).
    "Why" - this is a user-to-user support forum.  No one here can answer "why" Apple does or doesn't do anything.

    i have added my company e-mail add into my MacBook , i recive e-mails but i cant send e-mails , anyone knows why ? i have tried all options in outgoing mail settings but it wont work !!

    Hello,
    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.

  • OS X Mail Services Crippled. POP/IMAP Show Disabled

    Mail Service is Running but only SMTP IN/OUT show enabled.
    POP, IMAP and Mailing Lists all show Disabled even though all are Checked ON in Settings.
    Using SA.
    Have tried stopping/starting/unchecking/saving/starting/stopping, all to no avail.
    It all started when I tried to turn on SMTP authentication and then turned it off again.
    I obviously screwed something up, but what/where.
    I see cyrus erros in the System log. Exit with code 75, respawning too quickly.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Heinz

    Fixed mailman with:
    /usr/share/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s stop
    /usr/share/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start
    All back in business, hopefully

  • Why cant I forward e mails ?

    Why cant I forward e-mails ?

    I, too, have been struggling with forwarding e-mails: any messages I try to manually forward from my iPhone just never arrive to the intended recipients.  I have tested this on multiple occasions and to multiple e-mail addresses.  I am using iCloud for e-mail, with my .mac handle (too difficult to let too many people know about a new address).
    Using a .mac account via icloud now, I can "reply", create a new message from my iPhone and it gets right through.  Using iCLoud on my Mac deskop, forwarding works just fine (again, using my .mac handle).  Would love to hear of any solutions to this issue.

  • Why do I have to reboot my iPhone 6 every hour to have internet and mail service???

    Every hour or two I have to power off my 6 then power on in order to have internet and mail service.  Is anyone else having this problem?

    I'm having the same exact issue. I have the same phone/OS. Just switched from AT&T to Verizon so I wasn't sure whether it was my service or the phone. The same connectivity issues are happening to me with things like My Fitness Pal or Facebook notifications. Fitness app won't load or connect and for Facebook, I'll get a notice that I have one, I go to FB and it won't load the notifications or even load new stories on there for that matter. So AGAIN, I have to restart and POOF! I can use FB, Fitness App, etc AND I have 20 emails all of a sudden. So frustrating!
