Applications :: Mail IMAP Account Not Store SENT Messages On Server?

Dec 17, 2007

I have just discovered that my IMAP email account is not saving any of my outgoing SENT emails on the server ! I have checked the settings and the option to store on the server is ticked.

I spoke to my ISP guy just now and he confirmed that there is nothing in the sent folder despite the fact that I sent three important emails today.
He suggested I 'untick' the option and save sent emails on my local iMac - and I did - and it works.....

But what is the point of an IMAP account ?? I need to work at two locations and synch the accounts ...

I found mention of this elsewhere on Google... but cannot see any fix.

(I have all updates downloaded and installed on the iMac as of this afternoon)

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Exporting All Messages From Mail (IMAP Account)

Apr 27, 2012

I have an IMAP account in Lion Mail, that I would like all the individual messages exported into a Folder, say on my desktop. This email is no longer functioning so I simply won't be able to re-import the messages if I were to export the mailbox as it appears it only places a plist file referencing the IMAP information. Previously I believe I was able to highlight all messages and drag-n-drop them into a folder of my choice. I can sort of do it, One by one if I drag and drop. Is there any other method to obtaining this.....selecting all messages and dropping them into a local folder?

Applications :: Mail.app Downloading All IMAP Messages Again?

Apr 23, 2010

My mail.app is setup using IMAP with my Gmail account. I've noticed that Mail.app randomly decides to download all the IMAP messages all over again at random intervals (could be a few days, could be a few weeks). I've noticed this behavior on both of my computers, additionally I know other people with this same issue. Does anyone here have this issue as well? If so, what is the problem?

Applications :: Gmail - Apple Mail - IMAP - Can't See Messages

Feb 1, 2010

I have my Apple Mail configured for use with my Gmail IMAP account but I have a problem. From the Apple Mail app, I can not see messages that were sent while in the web version of Gmail. To me, if I have it configured via IMAP, anything I do on my phone, I should see on my mac. Anything I do on my mac, I should see anywhere from the web app. Am I doing something wrong? Can YOU see messages you sent through the web portal, on your Apple Mail app?

Applications :: Apple Mail Import - Sync With IMAP Account

Feb 11, 2010

I have the newest version of Apple Mail and I am syncing it with an IMAP account. Everything works fine so far. I had to delete all my mails on the provider server because I reached the storage limit. So I saved all my mails on my mac from the apple mail first and then I deleted all my mails on the server. After deleting all mails on the server, I putted back my old mails into APPLE MAIL, but it immediately deleted all my mails in APPLE MAIL after syncing with the server. So my question. How can I place my old mails back into APPLE MAIL without it deleting my local mails when it is syncing with the server?

Applications :: Apple Mail Work With Gmail IMAP Account 8 Gig And 80 Folders?

Jul 1, 2010

Any Users of Apple Mail with HUGE Gmail IMAP accounts? I'm switching to Apple Mail and am wondering if it will work with a Gmail IMAP account of 8 GIG and 80 folders? Is this even worth trying to setup or will it just crash? 1. Will it freak out during sync and give me the "too many simultaneous connections" error? 2. Is it fast enough with such a huge IMAP folder or does it crawl?

OS X :: IMAP Account Locks Server Mailbox?

Oct 5, 2009

I've just moved to Snow Leopard and have found that my main Mail IMAP account is now locking the server mailbox. This means I can't access the mailbox via Pop from any other machine (such as at home) and the webmail interface will only let me read but not delete mails.

I've checked via Mail Preferences that the account is set to Manual Updates (as was its predecessor, when it worked). I assume this setting is just not working as I can see the account is still reading mail automatically.

I thought of deleting the account and setting it up again but worry that the warning message about losing all mail associated with this account would mean all my local folders would be zapped. So my temporary fix is to deactivate the account and set up a POP version instead.

Applications :: Will Apple Mail Delete All Messages In My Gmail Account

Jul 21, 2010

I had a hotmail account and about a month ago apple mail deleted all my messages from the hotmail account, therefore I am unable to access any of them from anywhere else except my mac.

I learned that that was due to me leaving the box "remove copy from server after retrieving a message." Now I fixed that and moved to gmail, as I was able to upload all hotmail messages to my gmail account through tuhunderbird.

Since I am not a big fan of Thunderbird as it is giving me some password issues, today I set up the gmail imap (I think) accunt on my apple mail, but there is no box "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" for gmail in prefrences, just for hotmail.

Now I am scared, will apple mail delete all my messages from the gmail server, and if it will, how do I prevent it from doing so?

ICloud :: Moving Mail Boxes From Mail To IMAP Server Error NUL Character In Message

Mar 18, 2012

I am migrating my mail and archive folders from Mail to iCloud.  I moved 20+ folders and over 8k messages with no problem by dragging and dropping the folder from 'On my mac' section to 'iCloud' section in Mail.  The last two folders were the largest with over 1.5k in each folder.  Over 1200 of the messages in each went in to iCloud without a hitch. Then I got this error: 

The IMAP command “APPEND” (to [mail box name]) failed with server error: Message contains NUL characters. 

There are 149 messages left in one folder and 203 in another folder.  Try as I might, it will not work.  I tried Rebuild mailbox option in menu and exported to Mail and mbox format and then re-importing.  Still does not work.

OS X :: Mail Delayed In Fetching Mail From IMAP Server

Dec 30, 2008

My Mail application (Leopard) is sometimes incredibly delayed in downloading mail from the server. If I have Thunderbird open on the side sometimes I receive mail in it but have to wait 15 minutes before Mail gets it. Also, my iPhone gets the mail in time always, though one would think that the mail fetching system is similar to that in Mail. Does anybody else have this problem and know a way around it? It's really frustrating and I'm considering moving to Thunderbird for good.

OS X :: Cannot Remove IMAP Account From Mail

Apr 21, 2010

I'm using OSX 10.6 & Mail 4.2.

We just want to use a POP account with Mail.

For some reason an IMAP account was previously added, which I want to delete (Mail keeps trying to send / receive from this IMAP account, which isn't set up, and stops Mail working)

However, when I try and delete it by going to Mail -> Preferences, then selecting the IMAP account and pressing the '-' button - it won't delete it! It just stays there in the left hand column. How to I delete it?

OS X :: Configuring Mail.app With Gmail IMAP Account?

Oct 21, 2010

I just configured my Gmail IMAP account in Mail.app. In the Settings > Labels section of Gmail, I unselected the "All Mail" label. In Mail.app, I chose the Gmail > Trash mailbox and then "Use this mailbox for Trash" from the Mailbox menu, and did the same for Spam and Drafts.

Now there are no mailboxes listed in the Gmail mailbox, but it still appears there at the top of the mailbox list with a little triangle next to it. When I click on the triangle to expand, there's nothing in there - but the mailbox won't go away. It's an off-white color whereas all the other mailboxes are the standard bluish color.

Software :: IMAP Deletes Mail On My Mac SKY Account?

Jul 4, 2010

I have just set up a Sky account and have been told I can only use IMAP to access my mails to my Mac Mail account.

I have set up an account in Mac Mail but every time I delete the mails from my Sky account or my iphone they delete from my Mac Mail on my iMac!

MobileMe :: Suddenly Cannot Get Mail On IMAP Account

Jun 9, 2012

I suddenly cannot get mail on my IMAP account in Mail 5.2. The rotating 'get mail' symbol continues non-stop. I can send mail, but it is extremely slow to go, and will not send me a copy as requested, even for a 500 byte post. I mostly have to use a dongle for mail/internet, but have now tried from a MacD wifi site too. I can get onto internet OK.

Applications :: Store Gmail Emails On Server With Mail.app?

Mar 6, 2010

I am trying to use Mac mail.app for my Gmail account, a paid account holding about 10GB of mail. I have no trouble setting up the account in mail.app, but I gather IMAP set ups store all the Inbox locally? Certainly set up of the gmail account in mail consumes over 10G of my precious MBP HD space.

So, is it possible to set up Mac mail with webmail so it that it more or less acts as a UI for the webmail account? I know I could easily use an app like Mailplane (nice but constantly crashes for me) or just a browser, but I am frustrated by the fact that OSX defaults to mail when an email link is clicked (maybe there is a fix for this) and I do like drag and drop file attaching, as well as the integration with iPhone, mobileme etc.

ICloud :: Mail Cannot Connect To IMAP Server

Mar 13, 2012

This morning, I started Mail as I do everyday, but I could not assess my iCloud mail.  I used Connection Doctor and the report that Mail was able to connect to the internet but under iCloud, the message was "Could not connect to this iCloud IMAP server.  Check your network connection and that you entered correct information in the Account 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 checked the Account preferences and see the incoming Mail Server greyed out.  It said p03-imap.mail.me.com  I had been using Mail everyday and moved from Mobileme to iCloud once I upgraded to OSX Lion 10.7 several months back.  I have upgraded the OS to 10.7.3. 

I tried to assess mail in Safari and was successful.  I checked the iCloud status and it was on.  I did the following try to resolve the problem.  I repaired permissions.  I deleted the iCloud account from Mail.  Then I unchecked the Mail & Notes checkbox in the iCloud pane in System Preferences.  I restarted the computer and rechecked the Mail & Notes check box in the iCloud pane in System Preferences.  Then opened Mail and opened it Preferences.  Then I added one account.  Filling the Name, email address and password in the form.  When I pressed continue, I get the message, "The iCloud IMAP server 'p03-imap.mail.me.com' is not responding ..."  At the moment I am using the browser to assess my mail.  Is there some way to get back assess in Mail?

ICloud :: Cannot Change Incoming Mail Server From P01-imap

Apr 19, 2012

Everytime I open mail (v.5.2) on my Mac (OSX 10.7.3) I am prompted that the "iCloud has rejected the password for p01-imap.mail.me.com."  The incoming mail server is set at p01-imap.mail.me.com....and I can't change it, it's greyed out in Preferences - Account Information.  Further, each time I put in the password, I click "remember in my keychain" and, well, it doesn't because I have to re-enter it every day.

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Mail (3.6) Rejects Password With IMAP Server

May 18, 2012

I am getting a recurring probleme with my Mail app: "The IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” rejected the password for user “myaddress@gmail.com”. I cannot send or receive email through Mail.  

What seems odd to me is that I can sign into the web version of gmail and see current email, but email received or sent is no longer happy in Mail. I have been using my gmail, set up as an IMAP account in Mail for months now. 

Needless to say I've checked, rechecked, and made sure my password and username are both correct.

MobileMe :: IMAP Server Rejecting Mail Password

Jun 15, 2012

Every now and then, like just now, when I opened up mail I get a message, : Enter the password for Account MobileMe. The mobile me IMAP server 'mail.me.com rejected the password for user '______' Enter your password again or cancel. Mail normally comes up automatically as the password is stored. But I enter my correct password again and it still rejects it.This has happened before and usually self corrects in a day or so, but still is seriously annoying.My wife's MacBook Pro did this a couple days ago and still wont work. She has a MacBook Pro, I have a MacBook.They both run Snow Leopard and we both switched over to ICloud a while back.
