Why would only one of my Mail account stop working?

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 and I use Mail 6.4. I have several e-mail addresses all ending n the domain that I own. For no reason today, one of the accounts will not download. Mail does not indicate tat there is anay problem. When I go into my domain, new messages are there, but they are not downloaded. The account is working on my iPad and iPhone so the problem must lie with Mail. I have changed absolutely no settings. I do not want to get rid of the account and start oveer since I will lose all the messages form the account that I have in my folders. Does anyone have any idea what could be happening and what I can do about it? Thanks.

I found the problem!!! A misbehaving rule was moving all the messages that were tagged with that address into a folder that was set up for only one of the senders. Eventhough I told the rule to assign the sender to the folder it decided to sort all the mail from the account to it!!!
Thanks for the help - knowing how to test things with a 2nd administrators account will probably come inhandy again sometime!
Now to go tame that rule!

TS3899 mail account stops working

My btinternet mail account no longer works on my ipad. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I receive a message saying that the server is unavailable

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Both my AOL and Frontier mail accounts stopped working at the same time.

Why can't either mail communicate with the server. I'm running OSX 10.6.8 and have checked my mail settings repeatedly.

In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
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.

Mail accounts stop working after few time or sleep

Hi everyone. First at all sorry about my english.
Since few days ago, and probably after run onyx, im experiencing a bug in Mail.
When i start mail, everything its ok. Its works perfect.
But, after maybe 2 hours running (usually i have mail on autostart), i see that all my acounts have the triangle on it.
I click on the triangle and tryed to reconnect all accounts but it does nothing. All of them still not working.
I run the test and all accounts have the red mark of error.
It usually happends when i awake the macbook after sleep.
It has easy solution. Close mail, and open mail again and is ok, everything working normaly, but after some time i have the same problem.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

If I first delete the accounts, doesn't all the mail I've already got get dumped?
Could I avoid this?
How do I troubleshoot first? It works so well that I've not had to do this.

HT201342 why would I need another e-mail address?

hi, Why would I need another e-mail address. When .me came out I thought that .mac would be erased so I gave everyone my .me account (even though I prefered the .mac name) the .mac continued to work and now everyone sends me TWO e-mails which arrive at exactly the same place. I can understand if the e-mails arrive at different mail boxes, then you could give your family one, your business another, your kids school a third, but why... why 3 accounts that go to exactly the same place. I realise I don't have to use all 3 but can someone tell me how to get the most out of these e-mail addresses. Thanks!

Just give out the one email address you want to use. They are all the same account anyway. People do not need to send emails to both email addresses so tell them to only use the one you prefer.

HT1688 I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account. But my phone will not delete a mail account. And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

Can I have more then one icloud E-Mail Account?

Can I have more then one icloud E-Mail Account?

Hi Pathfinder93950,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can only have one iCloud account per Apple ID. However, you can have up to 3 aliases that point to that iCloud account. Here is some additional information:
iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2620
After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.
iCloud: About email aliases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4897
iCloud: Create or change email aliases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2622
You can have up to three active email aliases, and you can delete or deactivate (turn off) an email alias at any time. You might want to deactivate an alias if, for example, you use an alias to make a purchase. After you receive the item, you can turn off the alias to avoid follow-up advertisements, then turn it on again when you make another purchase.
Deleting an alias is permanent, so if you think you might want to use the alias again, you should simply turn it off. When an alias is turned off, all email sent to that alias is returned to the sender.

Why does only one headphone work when i listen to music? I have to hold the base of the cord in a certain position for it to work, it does this with all headphones i try, what do i have to do?

You can try cleaning the headphone jack. However, I suspect that th headphone jack needs replacement.

How can I get my password for one of my mail accounts?

I don't remember the password to one of my mail accounts.

3 things come to mind.
(1) It might be stored in your keychain. See Keychain Access in you Utilities folder. Select the account and command-shift-c copies the password to your clipboard.
(2) If you have logged in via the web, it might be in your Safari passwords: Safari, Preferences, Passwords.
(3) Contact your mail service provider. Normally there is some mechanism for retrieving passwords.

TS1307 Why does send mail just stop working and how do you fix it?

Using MacBook Pro bought last Chrismas and its mail client 5.2
In the last 2 weeks send mail has stopped working for both my wife and myself (we have different logins / accounts / email address providers)
We have tried different wifi / isp providers
rebuilding the mail database
accessing preferences and changing the default ports to specified port 25 and then back again
taking the mail accounts off-line and then back on again
deleting the accounts and then creating just one simple one (GMail)
no change - send mail still does not go.
What should we do now?
What have we done wrong to cause this to fail in the first place?
It was working fine, but now it is not.
It is quite worryingand a fix would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hmmm, here's the opposite problem/fix...
Gmail send but not receive...
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:

Is your gMail POP or IMAP?
If IMAP...
Is the Outgoing server smtp.gmail.com, port 25, SSL on, & Authentication = Password

Relax, they weren't converted to PDF.
You can tell by right clicking ANY of them and choosing "Properties". You'll see there that they're STILL .xls or .xlsx files. The "association" has changed and Windows now indicates that they open with Reader, which isn't right.
Where it says "Open With" under the General tab, you can click "Change" and re-select Excel as the default app to open thim.
