how I can set it up so that it would check my emails (IMAP) automatically. I've set the account up, it's sending/receiving mail, but I'm wondering if it has to run in the background to be able to check the mail. When I click Mail (at the top of the screen), and then Exit, it stops checking, correct?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI've googled and searched, I can't see what I'm missing, so I am turning to the community for help, because I simply don't get this. I own 2 domain names. I'd like to use the build in Mail Server application into SL Server, so if your suggestion is using another mail server, please don't post that.
Let's say my domain's are domain1.com and domain2.com I've looked at the Mail Server Admin user guide, and I've followed a couple of wizzards, and... all in all, I am getting no where. Let's also say my email client is my iPhone.
Ok, so domain1.com currently has no email with my current provider, and domain2.com currently has email from my current provider, it's my desire to eventually switch this, but experimenting on domain1.com will do no harm, so I am experimenting on this. Both domains give me the ability to point to an mx address.
Here's what I've done. I've got my user created in Workgroup Administrator, and I am confiuguring my LDAP3v, and I am authenticated enough to create and delete users.
***I Should note that DNS is currently disabled, I gathered from all my reading that I don't need the DNS enabled because I manually put in the MX record to mail.domain1.com and domain1.com is correctly identified. The server is also the webserver, and all the web server functions are working as expected! I don't know if not having the DNS enabled is holding me back or not ***
1st, I enabled the mail service in the Server Admin. My domain name is ServerName.local and my host name is mail.domain1.com (I created an a entry in my dns settings for that). Enable SMTP is set, IMAP and POP are enabled as well.
I don't intend on setting a relay, because I want this server to do send email out. I do have some cases where I send a mass email out, not for spam but for Christmas card purposes, and I think this is a good free way to not have to limit myself to batches of 50 or so.
I have my created SSL certificate, and havce only the Kerberos and CRAM-MD5 settings set in the security.
In my hosting section, I have enabled Virtual hosting, and listed my domain1.com and domain2.com below.
Now in workgroup manager, I've connected to my LDAP3v database and created a test user, and a test group. In the server admin, I added the test group to the list of authenticated mail users. I made my test user a member of the test group, and made that his default group. I enabled the mail service, and set the mail server which is ServerName.local, and enabled POP and IMAP.
That's it. I've done nothing in terminal, just that. I was getting a user unable to authenticate error, it was able to download the certificate though. Then I realzed I had an MXE defined in my settings for my DNS domain manager. So I changed to an MX, to mail.domain1.com and then I created mail.domain1.com pointing to the same IP address as domain1.com, and unfortunately the DNS records haven't updated yet, because I initially didn't create the mail.domain1.com entry, and now it's saying the server isn't responding, so I am anxiously awaiting an update from the DNS in the world to see if the issue has now cleared up.

I upgraded to Snow Leopard (might only actually be since 10.6.1) my Gmail account set up as IMAP in mail.app keeps going offline with the following error message: quote: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account �Gmail� or try again. The server returned the error: Account exceeded bandwidth limits. (Failure) I am way under the Gmail quota. Has this happened to anyone else?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSnow-Leopard 10.6.1 on uMPB with 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HD, 2.8 GHz IC2D, Mail (64-bit) 4.1 (1076) Mail is eating my memory over time and I cannot fix this problem. In long: I have been having trouble with Apples Mail ever since my SL upgrade but now it is getting to become VERY annoying. First, after upgrading, Mail would often hang when quitting (for up for 5 minutes) which would not allow me to shut off my computer. Now, in 10.6.1, when I open Mail, I can sit and watch Mail eat away my RAM. From 20 MB initially, it quickly hits 100 MB RAM then after a couple of hours of leaving it be, I can see that Mail is requiring 2.5-2.6 GB of RAM (Gigabytes!) constantly. At first, I thought this was due to GrowlMail not being compatible with 10.6, but even after updating Growl to 64-bit and reinstalling GrowlMail this memory problem still persists. Actually, after uninstalling Growl and all its applications (including GrowlMail) Mail keeps eating a solid 2.6 GB of my RAM. Continuously. This slows down my 4GB 2.8GHz uMBP and causes long sessions of spinning balls and delayed keyboard/mouse actions. Mail never lets go of the RAM only gets bigger up until 2.73 GB (highest I have seen before I force quit it through Activity Monitor). Once I Force Quit, Mail releases the memory and I am back to my fast mac. I found the following this at [URL] and after removing my RSS feeds from Mail and restarting mail, I am now running perfectly again --- Virtual Memory and RAM both less than 45 MB.

Ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard and using Apple Mail, I have been getting the following error after a day or so of use: "Account exceeded bandwidth limits." Eventually I am able to access GMail via IMAP with Apple Mail, but only for about a day before this error occurs again. This doesn't affect my access to GMail via the web interface. Nothing has changed with my use of GMail since before the Snow Leopard upgrade and I've seen scattered reports of this on the 'net, but nothing that nails down a solid connection between the Snow Leopard upgrade and this error.

I put snow leopard on my mac this afternoon and have been kicking the tires. I ran Parallels 4.0 and the windows worked just fine with my XP Partition. When I tried to boot it up in boot camp however, I got an error telling me it couldn't load windows.
I imagine this is an issue with the drivers, but I can't figure out where the drivers are and how to get them on the windows side.
When I open windows in parallels, I can't find any drivers to load on the DVD for snow leopard's boot camp.
I'm running OS 10.6.8, TextEdit v 1.6 (264) and find that documents created in TextEdit and saved with a custom scale (90% for example) and then closed always revert to 100% when opened the next time. The funny thing is when I close the document after changing the scale without saving it prompts me to save the changes, but even then it's not saved. So I'm thinking this behavior isn't normal, TextEdit knows it's supposed to be saving this but for whatever reason it's not. This is more in the category of a nuisance than a problem but I thought I'd post and see if anyone knows anything about this.
