Why do I keep getting the message "Unable to connect to Imap server you may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server.

I already tried reducing the maximum number of connections to 1, but I'm still receiving the message. Is there anything else I can do?
My computer is a Mac mini running OSX 10.9.5. Firefox is version 34.0.5.

Ok, IMAP server almost universally allow multiple connections. Thunderbird as you would have observed uses 5 if they are available. As Airmail suggested, iphones just use more and more until they exhaust the available connections. There is no set maximum option.
However there are other things that can consume connections and some may surprise you.
Anti spam tools such as mail washer
Anti virus programs in their anti spam or anti phishing roles
Web mail.
The wife sharing the same account on her laptop.
That is from the top of my head. So could any of those apply.

    Apple are currently trying to get less secure passwords updated. They require that your account passwords are at least eight characters long and contain both alpha and numeric characters and at least one upper case alpha character.
    You might try changing your account password to match these requirements.

    created by chris.campbell in Using Flash Player - View the full discussionHi Luetta,I think the confusion here is that you are seeing a message that was meant for Flash Player developers, and Namisha assumed you were debugging your own flash code. If you are simply trying to use Flash Player, we'll need to uninstall the debug version of Flash and install the regular version instead.  Assuming you are on Windows, here are the steps required: 1.  Uninstall Flash Player by downloading and running this program:  http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe 2. Once uninstalled, open your web browser and navigate to: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer 3. Walk through the steps on that web page to get the right version of Flash Player installed  Once you have the normal version of Flash installed, you will no longer see these error messages. If you continue to have problems, please email me at [email protected] and we can do a quick desktop sharing session so I can help you out. Thanks,Chris If the reply above answers your question, please take a moment to mark this answer as correct by visiting: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7503430#7503430 and clicking ‘Correct’ below the answer Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

  • Why do I get a error saying mail was unable to find your reply. You may have deleted message.

    when sending email, I sometimes get an error stating: Mail was unable to find your reply to:  You may have deleted message. This does not happen with every sent message but it is doing it more and more. The reply is no where to be found.

    You posted in a 4 month old dead post. 
    You would do better by posting a "New Topic" in the OS/Mail forum area of which os you are using.  You will need to indicate which version os you are using as well as which version of Mail you are using in order to get the proper attention to your post.  This will help the users reading your post to suggest solutions.

    because you have to be using a blank cd-rw or cd-r.

    It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.

    Apple Mail cannot find replies or forwarded emails -- the little arrows on the left of the list of emails: "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message '[subject of message]'. You may have deleted the message."  I did not delete the message.  Bug in the program, or am I missing something?

    Of course they're in my Sent folder.  Then why can't Apple Mail find them?

  • "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message... You may have deleted the message."

    I'm experiencing some kind of corruption in Mail's ability to connect replies to messages.
    The error I'm starting to get says this:
    "Mail was unable to find your reply to the message... You may have deleted the message."
    And these emails are no longer threading like conversations and when you click on the little "read reply" arrow icon it can't find the reply.
    What could be up here please?!?!?
    Thanks!

  • I keep getting a message that my voicemail is 90% full when I have deleted my voicemail messages. What do I do?

    I keep getting a message that my voicemail is 90% full when I have deleted my voicemail messages. What do I do?

    Depending on your carrier, deleting your voicemail messages may simply place them in a "deleted" area - much like a trash bin - that also needs to be emptied.
    Check the voicemail area in your iPhone's Phone app.  See if there is anything at all there - specifically something that says "Deleted".  If so, inspect and empty it.
