"Your IMAP server appears to be temporarily out of service"

I didn't change anything and I get this message, on my IPhone, on Mac Mail on the web, and on Mail on Tiger. Anything I can do about this? Tell me I shouldn't be freaking out.
Thanks.

First check to see if your mailbox is online. If it is try synchronizing it.

'our IMAP server appears to be temporarily out of service' - help !!

When logging in I get this error message on my e-mail:
'your IMAP server appears to be temporarily out of service'
Any assistance please? Much appreciated.....

Call your ISP or whoever hosts your mail server and ask them if something is going on...

IMAP server appears to be temporarily out of service = No Mail?

This may be the wrong forum for this, I know. However, the .mac forum is the "land of the misfit repair requests" as far as Apple is concerned. Perhaps posting this here will get some attention.
This issue does not impact all .mac mail accounts but if it impacts yours, you already know its not working.
Can someone in Cupertino take a look?
Thanks

The server error encountered was: your IMAP server appears to be temporaril

The server error encountered was: your IMAP server appears to be temporarily out of service
on one mac account but not the other why?

k finally my account is receiving mail. But it was out of service for over 15 hours. And on only one of my .mac email accounts don't know how or why. Yet I even deleted my account from my mail and re-entered it but that didn't help, only time did. So strange and discerning for a paid mail account service. Great when it works. But it might be nice to have an auto forward feature for when the accounts go down so that emails may still be sent and received at one of my free email providers that has not ever had any issues. Good luck

I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

I get nothing but error messages, -
"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or the same with: 364?
Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to give answers to how to fix these errors because when I "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING! Yet you give us these stupid error codes
then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft. How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
to do or how to fix it. You need to add each error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it. I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:

I hope this helps.

How can we set Admin rights to access all user mailboxes in IMAP server exchange 2010?

Hi,
IMAP is in exchange 2010..
as per guide:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200730%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
CSV Files for IMAP Migration Batches`
Use super-user or administrator credentials. This requires that you use an account in your IMAP messaging system that has the necessary rights to access all user mailboxes.
In the CSV file, you use the credentials for this account for each row. To learn whether your IMAP server supports this approach and how to enable it, see the documentation for your IMAP server.
How can we set Admin rights to access all user mailboxes in IMAP server exchange 2010?
thanks?

Hi,
Do you mean assigning a user full access permission to all other mailboxes? If so, we can try the following command:
Get-Mailbox -Server “Exchange 2010” | Add-MailboxPermission -User AdminUserName -AccessRights FullAccess
Thanks,

ITunes store temp out of service...HELP!!!

I have been trying to get on to the iTunes store now for over 24 hours...my message says "*We could not complete your iTunes store request* : The iTunes store is temporarily out of service. try again later"
Is anyone else having this problem!? I am getting quite annoyed!!!

Yes! I'm having the same issue, and it has been coming up for about a week now. It started with an error about Itunes not being available in the US and now I'm getting a message that says "We could not complete your Itunes store request. The itunes store is temporarily out of service. try again later."
I've tried downloading a new version but it times out every time I try to install it. I've also deleted McAfee off of my computer. Not sure what else to do.

IMAP server times out, Why?

For 6 days now I have been having a problem acesssing my sites and email accounts. Finally the hosting company has found that it is the number of email accounts (49) trying to access the IMAP mail server at the same time?
I have disable automatic "check for new messages at start-up" and put the "Check for new messages" to nothing.
When I go the an email address and click get messages, I get "Connect to server [email protected] timed out
Trying to send and I get
"Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server mail.1234.com timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.
My hosting company states that it is because I am trying to open too many email accounts at the same time, and then my ISP blacklists my ip address. Only had the problem since last Friday.
Is it my ISP or hosting company, or me?
Help really appreciate to pin-point this problem.

What email server names... you must be joking they are not something I would consider anything other than a public record. Every DNS record for each site lists the mail exchanger. Email does not work if you don't. Concerned people will know your involved in some way with those 50 sites, maybe
I doubt you can stagger the opening of 50 accounts. Other than throttle your internet connection to a very low speed. IF they are imap accounts (the default) then about the only way to stop them trying to synchronize is to go into offline mode.
If they are POP accounts you could set them all up with their fetch messages setting all turned off, but then you would need to click fetch messages 50 times.
Seriously I think the issue is with your provider. They know you have a business case to open 50 email accounts on their server. They needs to get over their internal spam settings and deliver. Then when they stop flagging your IP address for spam your ISP will stop blacklisting you.
Your only real other alternative is run a mail server (Mail server software) on a local machine, have that mail server collect mail from the 50 other accounts on a schedule and connect Thunderbird to the local mail server.

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

Have you considered the possibility that the third party fan software might itself be implicated in the issue, theosib (or perhaps something else introduced at about that time?).
My inclination in a situation like this would be to back up your drive to an external, wipe the drive, and do a clean installation. At the very least I'd try an archive and install.
Do you have plenty of free space on the drive? Once you get things down below the last 10 to 20% things can get hairy at times, and may not be fixed as a result of simply freeing up some room, as free space fragmentation is likely to have set in.
As far as RAM goes, either "Rember" - http://www.kelleycomputing.net:16080/rember/ or, better still, but less user friendly, "memtest" - http://www.memtestosx.org/ does a much better job of checking your RAM than the AHT. Still takes a while to run for a thorough test, but much quicker than the approach you are planning on using.
You might also want to use "Activity Monitor" to check for any applications with progressive "memory leaks" or that are acting as CPU hogs, given your symptoms

Strange folders appearing on IMAP server

Hi
Over the past couple of months I have had folders with names like 'nfs000000000c8133a7000000b5' appearing on the top level of my IMAP server. They have appeared once or so per week and I now have 15 - all with names starting 'nfs000000000.....'
They cannot be deleted - i get the error message "This mailbox "nfs000000000c8133a7000000b5" could not be deleted. The IMAP command "DELETE" failed with server error: Mailbox does not exist, or must be subscribed to ..."
- which I am guessing suggests the problem is on the Mail application side rather than server side.
any ideas how to solve this??
thanks

Try saving to an internal drive and then tell us what happens.
Any ideas where this is being generated, and what to do about it? < </div>
It must be a function of your particular drive software. I've never seen it in all of my years of LT/FCP work.

Folders on the IMAP server do not appear or appear in wrong location - those cannot be modified in Thunderbird because "they do not exist on server".

Hi all,
A few days ago, I moved 3 sub-folders within my Archive folder. I was doing those modifications using Thunderbird.
My Archive folder used to contain the following sub-folders:
Archive
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
I tried to move the folders A2014, B2014 and C2014 under the sub-folder LastYear, and created new A, B and C folders for 2015, so that it would be something like:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
/A2015
/B2015
/C2015
On the webmail interface, everything looks fine: the old A, B and C folders where moved into the Archives/LastYear folder, and the new A, B and C folders appear under Archives. However, on Thunderbird things are a bit more... strange.
Case 1: For some folders, things are as they should be.
Folders A2014 and B2014 were correctly moved into Archives/LastYear.
Folders A2015 and C2015 were correctly created in Archives.
Case 2: One folder does not appear at all - anymore.
Folder B2015 does not appear anywhere - despite being visible on the webmail interface. It does not appear in the list of folders to synchronize. No .msf file appear. Nothing happens if I try creating it again.
Note that it briefly existed after I created it, but stopped appearing a few hours later.
Case 3: One folder appears in the wrong location and cannot be accessed.
Folder C2014 appears in the old location (Archives) and not were it should be (and is on the webmail interface), that is Archives/LastYear. I cannot perform any operation on it in Thunderbird, I systematically get the following error message:
"The current operation on 'C2014' did not succeed. The mail server for account <AccountName> responded: "Archives/C2014" doesn't exist."
(Which is correct because according to the server the folder C2014 is in Archives/LastYear).
The C2014.msf file is also wrongly located, but moving it to the correct location did not change anything: the next time Thunderbird was started, the wrongly located .msf file was re-created.
Thunderbird does not show the emails contained in this folder - when I try loading them I get the previous error message.
Using the same style than before, here is how my Archives folder look right now:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/A2015
/C2015
/C2014
I am totally flabbergasted, I have no idea of where the problem is. I tried various fixes found on forums (such as playing around with the .msf files), but no luck so far. Any idea?
A few more details:
- I use an IMAP server.
- This is a professional address, and I have little control on it.
- I use Thunderbird with this account on two different computer, the problem is identical on both computers.
- I tried removing/re-installing the account from Thunderbird, it did not change anything.
I would be eternally grateful if any of you could come up with a solution!
Many many thanks,
Agnes

I know my files downloaded through Firefox won't appear in my downloads folder because that is just supported by Safari
No, I think that Apple just assigned the Downloads folder to Safari to send things there by default. You can do the same with Firefox, just go to the Firefox Preferences, click on main, tick the "Save files to..." and click the Choose button, then navigate to /Users/yourname/Downloads and click choose. I have always had all my Internet applications download things to a Downloads folder I keep at the root level of the drive (so all users can access them), but I just changed the Firefox pref to the new Apple Downloads folder and it worked fine.

How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out

How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out
The Netscape server products are all managed by a single administration
server, which gives you a web forms-based interface you can use to
configure them, start/stop them, check their logs, and so forth.

There are three levels of protection that keep the general public from
being able to get into your administration server and mess up the
configuration of any Netscape servers you have installed:

<OL>
<LI> Obscurity: Your administration server can run on any port you'd
like (usually something between 81 and 30,000), so if an attacker
doesn't know what port to find your admin server on, he can't get
into it.
<LI> Host restrictions: You can tell your admin server to only allow
connections from specific hosts, and to reject all other hosts.

<LI> Password protection: Even if a user connects to your admin server
from a valid host, he won't be allowed to get into even the first
page unless he presents a valid username and password.
</OL>

If you, the legitimate administrator of your web server, are unable to
access the administration server (if you forgot your password or the
admin port number or if you accidentally locked your own site out),
then here is how to get past each of these levels of protection:

<OL>
<LI> If you don't remember what port your administration server is
running on, just look in your "ns-admin.conf" file, which is in
the "admserv" directory under your Netscape server directory.
(For 1.x web servers on Windows NT, run "regedt32" and go to the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Administration" section).
You will see a "Port" entry there that specifies what port your
admin server is on. You can change this value if you want your
admin server to run on a different port, but make sure you restart
the admin server after you change the value.

<LI> If your admin server is complaining "Unauthorized host" when you
try to connect to it, then you can open it up to all sites by
going into the "ns-admin.conf" file or the "Administration"
section of your NT registry, as described above, and deleting the
lines for "Hosts" and "Addresses" (either one of those might not
be present) then restarting your admin server (on Unix run
"stop-admin" then "start-admin"; on NT go into the Services
control panel and stop/start the "Netscape Administration" or
"Netscape Admin Server" service). You will then be able to get
back into the admin server, where you can then try new settings
for your host and address restrictions if you wish.

<LI> If you have forgotten the password to your admin server and now
you can't log into your admin pages, all is not lost! Go into
your "ns-home" directory, and into the "admserv" directory under
that. You should find an "admpw" text file containing a simgle
line of text, something like this:
admin:lnOVeixulqkmU
The first part of that line is the name of your admin account
(usually just "admin"), and the second part is your admin
password, encrypted. Edit this file to remove the encrypted
password so that your file looks like this:
admin:
Then shut down your admin server, bring it back up again, and log
into your admin server but don't give any password. It should let
you in, at which point you can then go to the appropriate
configuration page to set a new admin password, and then you're
back in business.
</OL>
Note that because it is so easy to change the admin password this
way, it's good to periodically make certain that your admin
password file and your web server's configuration files are not
left world-writable, and that only trusted people have access to
them. (By default they're not world-writable, but it's good to
make sure of this from time to time.)

If you mean that yu forgo the password for yur encrypted backup then you can only:
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Sent messages do not appear in sent folder - IMAP server

In my mac mail program, I have a .mac account and a gmail account, both of which work fine on all accounts. I also use another email account which is on an IMAP server. If I send an email from the webmail site, the sent message appears in my sent folder both at the webmail site AND in the folder on my mac email client. If I send an email using the mac email client, the message arrives to the destination, but no sent copy appears either in the sent folder on the mac client or at the webmail site. Please help!!

Hi David,
Where in the Sidebar to the Mail window, does the
Sent folder appear, if one does, for the .mac
account?
Ernie
Ernie,
The sent folder (little airplane icon) for the .mac folder automatically appeared under my email accounts (in fact, both sent accounts - for my gmail and .mac - appeared as subfolders of the sent folder) when I set those accounts up. Those both work fine, though. It's the IMAP account that isn't working.
