Yosemite, Mail-Preference-Accounts- Advanced port 995 problem

I'm using mac air and mac pro. I've got a problem on my mail receiving when upgraded to Yosemite, in my mail preference- Accounts-Advanced, i am trying to change port 995 to 110 but it keeps reverting to 995 when saved. Port 110 is the setting before, pls help?

Any tips on setting up a NEW account with advanced settings?
There seems to be a UX issue with setting up the accounts. Every time I'm setting up my email from my own servers, it passes IMAP with "an error occurred" and then after inputting my SMTP info, it hangs....and hangs....and NOTHING happens. I need to configure my account is setup as IMAP SSL, but it's not detecting it nor is it giving me options to insert this information.
What the crap happened with MAIL? (Been using Airmail for a while, but gave up on that.)

Mail preferences, accounts, advanced

I have several gmail accounts and I have duplicate folders of messages that I am unable to simply delete. Even if I delete the hundreds of messages that are stored there, the messages come back. So I'm wondering if this is because of choices that I have made in Preferences. In the options: "Keep copies of mail for offline viewing", "Don't keep copies of any mail", if I choose the latter, I get this dire warning, so I'm not sure what to do. Will this choice also remove copies from the server? Thanks for your help.

Hi, I followed the instructions that Thomas gave to make these folders disappear: opened up my gmail account, went to Settings, Labs and then enabled Advance IMAP Controls. Then I went to Labels and only had options to Hide or Show, not to Remove. And I wasn't sure if the instructions just referred to what I would see on the internet or what I would see in my Mail app.
Is there anything that I should be doing in Mail Preferences, Accounts, to get rid of these folders of seemingly duplicate messages (don't really understand that part about them not really being duplicate, but...). The folders I want to remove are: (specific gmail address), All Mail, Drafts, Sent Mail, Spam, Starred and Trash. If anyone knows how to get rid of those folders I would appreciate your help. Thanks again.

Yosemite Mail preferences are not saved

Hello,
I just update my Yosemite to 10.10.3.
After some problems with Mail, I've been forced to delete container files and enveloppe index file, all is better except that now mail doesn't saved preferences anymore..
Also, the windows positions are not saved as well...
Last information: ON my preferences folder, I got only com.apple.mail-shared.plist file, but no com.apple.mail.plist file... Doesn't now if it's normal or not..
Thanks for your help

But should I see a com.apple.mail.plist file ?
No, not in Yosemite.
Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Yosemite Mail Exchange Account only syncing recent email

It appears like the last few days and scattered email going back a month are the only items in the mailbox.
I see no option to "Sync only a week, Month, ALL"
All mail since the update are appearin
Previously it would sync all my mail (and take forever to do so)
other mail clients show all my mail,
is there a hidden setting?

Thanks Anton.
Yes thats kind of what I figured - sometimes these sorts of issues right themselves within a day or two, it's just odd that I've never seen this issue before and a few people are noticing more problems with Yahoo accounts on iOS6.

Port 995

Hi,
I have just set up web hosting and I am attempting to set-up my email so that it can be received and sent from Mail. I have been in constant correspondence with their support desk, but they don't seem to be able to assist any further.
They tell me that my iMac is blocking port 995 so mail won't send. As a result, they've told me that I can't use IMAP and must use POP instead. I really don't want to do this, therefore is there anyway of setting my Mac so that port 995 is open?
Thanks.

What you have been told makes no sense, at least as you have repeated it. Port 995 is never used for sending -- it is the port to be used with a POP account and SSL, and only with POP. The analogous port for receiving IMAP using SSL is Port 993. Again neither would have anything to do with sending and presenting the Outgoing Server. Any SMTP using SSL would typically use Port 465.
The port for any Incoming server is selected in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced, while the port for any Outgoing Server (SMTP) is selected in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information by clicking on the up/down arrows beside the name of the Outgoing server. This has two tabs, the second tab, named Advanced, is where you selection the port and and authentication to be used with the SMTP.
More info, please.

Leopoard / Mail 3.1 and port 587

Hello,
I am starting with leopard and mail 3.1.
I have to change the port to go to port 587.
I canot find where to do it.
Help please.

Hello and thank you.
However, I knew how to do it in previous release of Mail.
As you said : there was a place called "réglages des serveurs" (tune the s"erveurs")
Mail, preferences,account, advanced ...... but the "reglages des serveurs " does not exist anymore
in Mail in the new release Mail 3.1
Therefore I dont know how to change (SMTP) PORT from 25 to 587.

"Locking Down" mail preferences?

To sync the mail on my home mac, my work mac and my iPhone, I run my work, .mac and one other account through gmail imap. I have gmail set up so that if I respond to an email, it uses the incoming address rather than my gmail address.
In my Mail preferences, I have all accounts enabled but only have the gmail imap check marked to check for new mail, so I won't pull down duplicates from the other servers.
Problem is, at random times Mail will undo my preferences and access the accounts I tell it not to.
Is there a way to "lock down" the Mail preferences so it doesn't do this?
Thanks...
Zach

when Mail checks for email in all accounts is the mail>preference>account>advanced, is the "include when automatically checking for new mail" checked when before it was unchecked? or is it that Mail overrides and checks anyways, or that you may have inadvertently gone to mailbox>get all mail or synchronize all accounts or the associated shortcut command?
hope this helps

Yosemite Mail 10.10.2 - SSL port, Certificate not trusted, email can't be seen

Hi All,
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have just upgraded (quite regrettably) to Yosemite 10.10.2 with a clean install (Time machine... that's a whole new bag of tricks hasn't worked can't even reinstall mail via TimeMachine RESTORE.. very helpful apple)
Mail – The simplest of software, is causing no end of problems:
PROBLEMS:
1) When mail opens, it kept saying "Certificate for this server is invalid"
2) The 2 email accounts I have, keep going offline? NEVER had this on any of the macs i've had set up before ran 10.6.8 for ages not a blip?
3) And another glorious trick, even if the email accounts aren't showing any exclamation marks (about being off line)
I select any mail box AND out of nowhere, no emails show in the mail boxes, where only 10 seconds ago they were all there?
4) REPLY ALL just a few moments ago DIDN'T work or reply to all
NOW, it either replies to ALL including me (the original sender) OR it'll place the original sender email address in TO and all others in CC? when all emails were in the TO field?
Just to be clear: I have set up 2 email accounts as IMAP on the mac (Say email X and email Y), and have tested by sending an email FROM email X TO email Y and a hotmail account, just to have more than 1 email address in the to field to see what happens with the REPLY ALL. It doesn't work suffice to say
SOLUTIONS TRIED BUT NOT WORKED SO FAR
I have scoured the forums and tried a few suggested things
1) I have 2 email accounts, both of which I'm setting up as IMPA, my ISP Tech support for email host has said "Set the SSL port to 587"
– Tried doing that in 2 places
a) Mail > Accounts > (select email account) > Advanced There under PORT stated 587
b) Mail > Preferences > Accounts (select account) > Advanced > PORT And here it is NOT the stated 587, it's (currently) 143?
(I've tried changing this to 587) and this doesn't solve the problem(s)
2) I tried UNTICKING "automatically detect and maintain account settings". but this didn't solve anything, and the whole certificate error and Mail going offline started up pretty much instantly
3) Tried ticking the "Allow Insecure authentication" - Again, no solution?
4) I did have my gmail account set up, but took that out of the equation as that wasn't helping, and with that I couldn't hit REPLY ALL and it show up in the TO field????
I appreciate this is a lot of information on the screen, but i've tried to be as through as I can, and seriously I CANNOT believe Apple have managed to mess up a corner stone app that should Just work?
Thanks agin for any help or pointers.
Mypetshadow

CAVEAT:
1)I'm not technically qualified, but thought i should share the info I have found that works for me after having a tech guy from the ISP sort out the settings to get my main running:
2) This has been working for all of 2 hours... lets hope it stays that way.
3) My emails are set up as IMAP accounts.
So....
After speaking / emailing with my ISP and after 4 days of what seems like ****... (Seriously, thanks Apple "it just works.... like a hole in the head") I have a few solutions that are working for me and thought I would post them up for people who maybe having the same difficulty...
SSL PORTS AND CERTIFICATES ISSUE
1) Once you "CREATE' an email account, you have to adjust the settings manually (No surprise there)
• There are some people saying you have to UNTICK the "Automatically detect and maintain my account settings"
• (I'm NOT a techie kinda guy), BUT in my case I LEFT THIS CHECKED (on advise from the ISP tech guy), and for me it is working. The tech guy from my ISP said something on the lines of "If the PORT is 993 then SSL has to be checked, If it's port 143 the SSL IS UNCHECKED"
Again, i'm not a techie, but this may be of relevance to you.
Screen grab of the main IMAP settings page
2) EDITING the SMTP settings
• MAIL > PREFERENCES > ACCOUNTS > select your newly created account > ACCOUNT INFORMATION TAB
– From the OUTGOING MAIN SERVER Dropdown list, Select EDIT SMTP SERVER LIST and change your port to 465 (note: Originally port was 587... read below)
Here, SSL WAS CHECKED, as was "Automatically detect and maintain account settings".
REPLY ALL MOVES EMAILS INTO THE CC FIELD
• Originally the port was set at 587 BUT I noticed a glitch; when I hit reply all, this would put all email addresses that were in the TO field into the CC field? (excluding the original sender...) Not helpful.
• I noticed (in an earlier mess up and moving around of ports etc) that when the port was changed to 465 (another port that the ISP tech guys said was an option) my email started behaving as expected... emails in the TO field stay in the TO field, as expected. and not placed in the CC field
Screen grab of the SMTP edit page:
Right, that's my non-techie tuppence and hope that it is of some help, and if not specifically all you need, it might give a few clues.
Cheers

Ich bekomme bei Mail keine Eingangsmails mehr und folgenden Hinweis: Der Server meldet den Fehler: Bei der Verbindung zum Server „pop3.arcor.de" über den Port 995 ist eine Zeitüberschreitung aufgetreten. Was kann ich machen?

Ich bekomme bei Mail keine Eingangsmails mehr und folgenden Hinweis: Der Server meldet den Fehler: Bei der Verbindung zum Server „pop3.arcor.de“ über den Port 995 ist eine Zeitüberschreitung aufgetreten. Die Ausgangsmails gehen aber sehr wohl raus. Was kann ich machen?

use Mail > Window > Connection Doctor
This will tell you exactly which part of Mail cannot connect. Sometimes it is the Mail Receiver, typically POP or IMAP. Its password is easy to see and fix.
Sometimes it is the Mail Sender, or OutGoing mail Server, typically SMTP. The Outgoing Mail Server is difficult to access. Use:
Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > (select an Account)
From "Outgoing Mail Server SMTP:" choose "Edit SMTP Server List"
This will show you all your Mail Senders, and if any passwords are missing you can enter the correct password again

I am unable to send mail-in mail preferences at accounts page I am unable to type in the incoming mail server

On my mac pro I have lost the abillity the send mail--no a probllem on my desk top Mac.
In mail at preferances --the Accountstab -on the macpro 'incoming mail server ' is blank and I can't type in to the box with the sever name.
Help please

You need to open Mail>Preferences>Accounts>click on "Accounts Information" over to the upper right in the window>click on the drop down list button at the right of "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" line> click on "Edit SMTP Server List">click on fIrst "Account Information" and then "Advanced", filling in each of the information fields with info that your ISP provides you with>click on "OK" button>click on the drop down list button at the right of "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" line>click on the correct SMTP Server in the list for that Account to select it.
Hope this helps

Mail 2.1.3 Port Connection error after security update.

I have 6 active email accounts that are normally checked by Apple Mail. After installing the most recent security update yesterday, 4 of the 6 accounts stopped connecting to their respective ports. Two of them are POP accounts (both gmail accounts on port 995), two are IMAP (ports 993 and 143), all four use SSL in the advanced settings. Of the two accounts that still work, one is an IMAP account (port 143), the other is a POP account (port 110), both without SSL. Firewall is on.
I get the error:
"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "account name" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "correct server" on port 995 timed out."
The error is the same for all four accounts, with their respective ports.
I have checked my server settings and verified that they are all correct. I can login to webmail for all of these accounts and read my mail without problems.
Mail Connection Doctor says:
"Could not connect to this POP 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, uncheck the "Use SSL" checkbox in the advanced tab of Account preferences."
All four accounts require use of SSL.
I have tested their connections on two different wireless modems and an ethernet connection to the same network as one of the wireless setups. No change.
I have tried turning off my firewall. No change.
I tried setting up one of my gmail accounts as an IMAP account instead of POP. This did not work either.
I have tried adding a Firewall Port connection for ports 995, 993, and 143 as both TCP and UDP numbers (independently and together). No change.
I have tried following these instructions from Mulder in response to another user's topic:
"1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Mail and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
3. Go to Home/Library/Mail and delete this file:
• LSMap2
4. Restart Mail and see if it works."
No change.
Any other suggestions?

I did get some suggestions from this

I really do not want to have to resort to webmail and/or my iphone for my email needs.

High processor use and blank messages in Yosemite mail

Hello
I am noticing very high processor use from Yosemite Mail, and I am also having problems with blank messages.
Under Mavericks, I had a problem where I double click on a mail message to open it. The message would flash on the screen for a moment and then disappear. The message in my inbox would be marked as read. I could then open it again and read it normally. Over time, I tracked this down as having to do with Mail doing anything else when I requested to open the email. For instance, if I delete a message and then immediately try to open the next message, the problem would occur. If I waited 5 seconds or so, then opened the next message, the problem would not occur.
Now, under Yosemite, I find that if I open a message quickly after performing another task, the message window is blank and never fills in. I can close that message window and open it again, it may work, or it may still be blank. I have found where certain messages appear to be stuck and will open blank until I open a different message and then come back to the problem message.
I have also noticed that Mail under Yosemite appears to use very high percentages of processor time. Checking the activity monitor, Mail is third behind WindowServer and kernel_task for processor usage. And I have another question on the community about my system running hot with the fan spooling up and down constantly under Yosemite, something that almost never happened under any of the previous OS's going back to Snow Leopard.
Any idea what is going on with the Mail app in Yosemite? I was excited about Mail finally advancing in capability, but it seems to have come at a cost..... Come on Apple - Mail needs to catch up with Outlook!

I also have this problem since Yosemite upgrade. Infuriating because I can't just read incoming emails anymore. It seems to be specific to one email account and doesn't necessarily cause a problem with others. When this happens, (showing the content for a second then disappearing), there is a segmentation fault reported in the error log.
For me, this is a category one critical business problem. If I can't read and reply to incoming email reliably on my computer, I will need to switch to another system or device that can.
24/10/2014 14:51:34.839 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent) The _DirtyJetsamMemoryLimit key is not available on this platform.
24/10/2014 14:51:36.262 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.WebKit.WebContent.A9C826DA-A925-4168-ADFD-46A9B4012097[6900]) Service exited due to signal: Segmentation fault: 11
Good news is that the email app does seem to work a bit quicker than before using Mavericks where it could hang for 10-20 seconds for no particular reason.
Hope this can be fixed or a workaround posted soon.

Yosemite Mail - wrong name in "To" field

Just upgraded to Yosemite on my iMac & Mail had a headache. I have access to 3 mail accounts - 2 are gmail and the other is from my own web address. To explain my problem, I'll call these accounts G1, G2 & Web. Under Mail>Preferences>Accounts, the accounts are listed in the sequence of G1, G2 then Web. When I look at the mail overview page from any of these 3 accounts, the "To" field replaces the account name with the Web short name. However, in the mail itself, the G1, G2 or Web names are shown correctly. The "To" field was correctly shown before I upgraded but the upgrade has affected all the existing mails as well as all the Junk, Trash, etc mailboxes. I have no idea where to start. Has anyone any ideas. Thanks.

I've sorted it. Having looked at a similar issue that someone had with iCloud, I checked Contacts and, sure enough, it had become corrupted. The Web name (see above) had my other account names dragged in. Once I deleted these inclusions, the Mail "To" fields got the correct name.

Mail preferences not setting right

My password keeps getting rejected by the SMTP server, despite the fact that it is typed in correctly. I think my problem is in account preferences, because where it says "Email Adress" it has my email adress with an extra "@mac.com" after it. I keep trying to change it, and then when I close the preferences window it asks me if I want to save and I click "Save," but then the "Enter Password" box pops up again and - sure enough - my changes in preferences didn't save! How do I fix this?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

think my problem is in account preferences, because where it says
"Email Adress" it has my email adress with an extra "@mac.com" after it.
Are you able to receive messages?
Although this isn't normal, it shouldn't effect the SMTP server settings which are separate.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
The SMTP server settings should be as follows:
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.mac.com
Server Port: 587
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Can be selected or not selected.
Authentication: Password
User Name: The portion of your .Mac email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your internet service provider (ISP) with the Mail.app?
If so, are you able to send messages with this account and SMTP server?
If yes to both, you can also select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

Yosemite - Mail.app memory leak

I'm seeing a recurring issue with Mail.app taking up huge amounts of RAM memory. There's evidently a serious memory leak in Yosemite Mail. On three occasions today, I noticed my free memory below 20 MB (I have 16GB). Activity Monitor shows the culprit to be Mail.app taking any where from 20-65GB of memory! I've had to quit Mail and restart it, only to have the same issue surface later. Does anyone have a way to mitigate/resolve this issue?

I apologize this is not the Discussion that has all the solutions. It's this one:
Yosemite OS 10.10 Mail Memory Leak
There are 19 pages so far, I'll see if I can find my post with the suggestions. Found it, it was on page 7. Here ya go. Hope it works!

Re: Yosemite OS 10.10 Mail Memory Leak
in response to Doug Lerner2
Thanks mlwebber & etresoft. I think we were able to narrow down the 4 most effective methods of temporarily resolving this issue it seems. I only had to disable the drafts to get back to normal, but others are reporting that using that in conjunction with a combination of 3 of the other methods from mlwebber are resolving their issues. Albeit this is only a temp fix until Apple updates their software & truly fixes this bug/issue, but, at least, I hope, we all can get back to business as normal for the time being.
Doren (from etresoft’s observations):
- Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors: UNCHECK “Store draft messages on the server”
mlwebber:
- Preferences/Accounts/Advanced: UNCHECK “Use IDLE command if the server supports it”
- Preferences/General/Check for new messages: “Every 5 minutes”
- Preferences/Junk Mail: UNCHECK “Enable junk mail filtering”
Please post in this discussion if none of these methods help you and we'll see what we can do. We'd also love to know if these methods also resolve your issue. Thank you.
