Why doesn't my email work on my iMac?

I using an iMac running Mavericks and Mail has started to show one obscure behaviour such as sporadically disallowing connection. My iPhone and iPad are unaffected and I can read my mail on either device. Everything is connected to the same wifi network and the connection doctor says that Mail can connect to the Internet but in each of my accounts I have the same message displayed:
Could not connect to this IMAP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Accounts preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL" checkbox in the advanced tab of Account preferences.
I have tried this but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

It actually fixed itself on installation of the update to 10.9.4, or at least it appears to have fixed itself anyway Thanks for the help though, that's a good page for reference.

    You don't give us anything like enough data to go on. What is your operating system? Do you have a functioning iCloud account - i.e. are you signed in in System Preferences>iCloud?
    Were you originally a MobileMe subscriber? If so, did you migrate to iCloud?

  • Why doesn't my timeline work in IE?

    Nancy; THANK YOU!!  OK..it still does not work but I see where there are a lot of errors. I changed the head tags and it still does not work but I would assume I can go to the site/page you sent and it analyzes webpages for errors?  I will keep at it til I get it right or maybe redo the page but thank you very much for your time...I truly appreciate it.

  • Why doesn't this update work?

    Why doesn't this update work? Can't I sum up two select count(*) in such a subquery?
    Thanks
    update sales T
    set T.field2 = ((select count(*)
    from sales t
    where t.field1 = trunc(sysdate)) + (select count((*)
    from sales t2
    where t2.field2 is null));
    I get
    ERROR at line 4:
    ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
    with the * under the +
    In other words I want to run
    update sales set field = ((select count(*) ..... ) + (select count(*) ..... ))

    My problem is to undestand why I got a syntax error about parenthesis.Because you cannot perform arithmatic operation with a value coming from a subquery in a SET clause of UPDATE
    SQL> update emp
      2  set sal=(select 1 from dual)+1;
    set sal=(select 1 from dual)+1
    ERROR at line 2:

  • Why doesn't my email download unless I open app?

    Why doesn't my email download unless I open app?

    Yes, the settings are correctly set on the iphone 4s.  It is a Yahoo email address.  I am not using iCloud.  Do you HAVE to have an icloud email account first in order for it to push automatically to other email accounts?

  • TS3899 Why doesn't an email that's deleted on my iPhone (gmail) delete on my iPad ?

    I have an iPhone 4 using gmail. When I delete an email on the phone why doesn't it delete on my iPad ?  All incoming email syncs fine.  Deletions don't sync. What am I doing wrong?

    You must be using a gmail POP account.  This type of account does not keep devices in sync.  Each device retrieves emails from the server independently of other devices.  If you delete on one device, that has no effect on the others.

  • Why doesn't viewport tag work if the page is local?

    If the ipad just connects to my computer and views the .htm page then the viewport tag is not supported. However, if I upload that same page to a web server and visit it the ipad does support it.
    Any idea why that is or what can be done to fix it?

    Hi Morpheus:
    I haven't tested it but Firefox 26 from the Google Play store should work on the Galaxy Mega. I'd be surprised if it doesn't. It works fine on the 3 other Samsung devices I have.
    Please try re-installing Firefox and then if you still have the same issue namely:
    QUOTE
    '''I get the Metro PCS default page that says I need the Mobile Hotspot service'''
    END QUOTE
    than it's probably a Metro PCS issue because it is possible for your mobile carrier to do things like take over what's displayed when you open Firefox or any other browser. We've had cases of other US mobile carriers changing the home page on Firefox and other Android browsers for example.
    If you still get the same Metro PCS issue, does the issue go away when you use another WiFi provider, e.g. at Starbucks?
    '''IF the issue goes away when you use another WiFi provider, it's definitely a Metro PCS issue (in that case please ask Metro PCS support).'''

  • Why doesn't outgoing email sound work?

    A while back I had this same problem...the outgoing email sound didn't work. So I did this: Applications>Utilities>Audio Midi Setup>Built-in Output>Output> Changed the output to 2ch - 32bit Float (was originally: 2ch-24 bit integer). Then the sound worked fine. Today, once again, the same problem has recurred. Additionally, now when I increase or decrease the sound from the keyboard, there is no "bleeping" sound with each increase or decrease change. There is sound when I watch a video, etc. I went to Audio Midi Setup and tried changing back to 2ch-24 bit integer, but that didn't help. I did try rebooting with 2ch-32 bit Float as well as with 2ch-24bit integer...didn't help. Any suggestions?

    You don't give us anything like enough data to go on. What is your operating system? Do you have a functioning iCloud account - i.e. are you signed in in System Preferences>iCloud?

  • Why doesn't the Macbook work lid-closed??

    I've only just discovered that the Macbook will try to go to sleep every time i close it's lid. For me, this is possibly the most annoying thing that any laptop could ever do!
    I know the Macbook is designed for lid closed use when external keyboard, mouse and display are connected. But if it doesn't overheat in this situation, then why should it be a problem without any of these connected!?
    I use my laptops esentially as desktops. Download and encode video overnight, play mp3's 24/7 and don't want to leave the lid open for dust to collect just to be able to do these things.
    Can anyone think of anything to explain this crazy behaviour? Or vouch for the use of software to work around this, such as sleepless.
    Macbook (White) 2.0GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   - 2Gb RAM, 80Gb HD

    Wtihout knowing Aple's specific reasons I would think that it were a safely reason. With the lid closed it would hence but unknown if it were on. There are no lights or anything to say this so potentially you can grab it and move it as though you would when off. Thi s could be extremely bad, even with the sudden motion sensor.
    When it is connected to an external monitor you will at minimum have to disconnect it and USB mouse/keyboard which does give you time to think that it's on.
    I have the same issue as you do though as I have a PowerBook currently running as a server. I use a very high tech device to keep the lid open just enough to keep the thing from sleeping.… it's called an eraser.
