MacBook Pro :: Mail Not Working After Changing ISP?
Mar 26, 2012
I changed my Internet Service Provider from Sky Broadband to Virgin Media.
The Internet is working fine, but I cannot receive email. I have two hotmail accounts, they are called "hotmail.co.uk" and "hotmail.co.uk 2" the first one is working again after I went into Connection Doctor, but the other one is saying "Trying to log in to this SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct"
I checked the settings in the Preferences menu and these all look OK, so I can't work out why it's not working. I even tried adding it as a new account but it tells me that the email address is already set up.
Info:
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011)

I'm about to switch to a different Mac, and I need some help with cleaning out my old one and setting up my new one. Are there any websites which give good information on transferring mail accounts/files to the new mac and safely cleaning out the old computer?

I am sitting with a friends recently purchased iBook G4, 1 Ghz, 40 GB, 512 MB RAM. Wanted to update it for him. put an 80 GB HD in it that used to run on a mini G4 ppc chip. Also I transferred a 512 block of RAM from the same machine.
Now the machine doesn't start though. The HD starts the spinning process, but thats it. Also tried to boot from different system cd's/DVD's but to no avail.

So, I first started noticing this problem a couple of days ago.
1. My dock doesn't work right. I have it set to auto hide/show. It worked fine up until now. Now for it to show, I have to click where it normally would appear, then I have to click in another window to hide it.
2. My cursor in Firefox, and other applications, doesn't change when hovering over links. It gets damn irritating now, as I'm used to links changing the cursor.
Any ideas what may be causing these problems? I'm running 10.5.5 with all latest software patches on an early '08 Macbook.

It seems I have to change from using POP to IMAP but I'm not quite sure how.
I use Mail.app on my macbook. I have about 4 different email accounts, (2 for different employers, 1 for freelance work, and 1 personal) plus I'm in a couple of high traffic newsgroups.
All gets downloaded to Mail.app via POP access.
The newsgroup and junk emails get filtered out into their respective folders.
Other mail is filtered into other folders. Some gets to my inbox.
I want the non-newsgroup / junk mail to auto-sync with my iphone.
That means :
Appearing in the same folder in my iPhone and on my laptop
Reading mail on one device will mark it as read on the other.
Email sent from one device will appear in the sent folder on the other.
So it seems I need to change from POP to iMAP, but I'm not quite sure how to set it all up to deal with my 4 accounts and various folders. In Mail.app I have about 30 rules for filtering.
Do i need 4 different IMAP accounts?

I am having a problem with text formatting in Mail. Apparently I have inadvertently changed the "style" - the lines of text are very close together. I need to increase the spacing How can I change the line spacing? In Mail; If I go to Format, Style, Styles, it brings up a box with 'Default' in it but no way to change Font, Alignment, Spacing.

This issue has probably when addressed in the past but I am having a problem with it now and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Currently, whenever I try to access Apple Mail (OS X 10.6.4), I get the spinning ball and I find that mail is not responding. Does anyone have any idea of what is going on or how I can reinstall mail?

I have tried via preferences to change the standard color in which I type my
e-mails
Although via preferences I succeeded in changing font size from 12 to 14, the color won't change from black to blue or any other color
Is it in anyway possible to set mail that spacing between two lines are for example 2 lines or 1,5 ?

Many are having issues with font smoothing not working correctly on external displays with SL 10.6.
I researched this issue and found this blog posting:
URL
the blog itself discusses the issue, and the fix is found in the comments.
Basically, for now the fix is to open Terminal App and enter:
"defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2″
without the quotes, and hit return.
a log out or restart might be required.
this fix seems to stick even after re-boots and shut-downs.

When you share (mail) an .aif file with Quicktime Pro, why does it become a .mov file when it arrives? I asked a friend of mine not to send .mov files when he wants me to listen to a song .aif format. I told him to check the preferences, he says all is set right.

I have three e-mail accounts. They duly appear in the Mail sidebar. I have dragged them into the order in which I want them, with the one I almost always use at the top and my college one (which I prefer only to use for college business) at the bottom. But quite often they — spontaneously, it seems — move around and put themselves into an order that I do not like, with the result that I accidentally send messages from the wrong e-mail address. Why do they do this, and how can I stop them and fix them in place?

I have emails in my inbox , all from same person and email address, that show up under the "From" heading with different labels - or names, such as
Robert McDee, McDee Robert, robert.mcdee@XXXX.com, <robert mcdee>
Can I change these so all emails from one person show up with same name (makes searching for email by sorting 'from' more productive)and what are these < > ? where did they come from

I am trying to change back to the Apple Mail.app 3.5 from Microsoft Entourage and I can't seem to achieve this. I am afraid my Entourage will crash soon because my Database is currently 10.2 GB large. I had to switch 2 years ago from Mail to Entourage, after I lost all my mails because the Mail.app was corrupted. I have had a change of computer although I did migrate my data and was hoping that the mail.app was working better but it is doing strange things like importing folders with no content - although it marks them with the amount of mails located within. It also refuses to import (admittedly) large amounts of mails from Entourage, it doesn't matter if it is just a single folder or several folders. It hoards some old mails in its INBOX which remain there even after I have erased them numerous times. They just keep coming back.
When I use the import option of the mail.app it will not take over all my mails but will save parts of the database or crash when I try to feed it mBox files. I realise my databases are very large but there must be some way to import data from one programme to another. I think somehow my mail.app is broken or it can't handle the huge Entourage database, is there some way I can discover whether this might be the case? I am starting to think I should stick to Entourage because it has been performing faithfully for the past years and I like the appearance more, but because I had database issues under Entourage 2004, I'm afraid my huge database will someday become irreparable. I have a 2.4 Ghz Macbook Pro, 2GB Dram, System 10.5.6, Entourage 2008 and of course the mail.app which I've had to reinstall (with Pacifist) and fix with the new Apple Mail Update that was issued on DEC 23, 2008 (which is supposed to solve stability issues).

today i found that Mail has stopped working for no obvious reason.It wont send or receive emails, but when i check by signing into .mac itself, the messages have arrived and everything appears normal.Mail won't quit either... then every so often a box with the following text appears:'Some actions taken while the account 'enter.mac address here' was offline could not be completed online.Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox "on my mac" in "on my mac" so that you can complete the actions while online.Additional information: The connection to the server "mail.mac.com" on port 143 timed out.

I can not send or receive. It seems the mail is in a perpetual cycle (of retrieving or sending) but nothing ever happens. When I shut down the computer, I get a message that mail is still open and I have to hard-quit.

Problem started a couple of weeks ago. Mac Mail worked fine then all the sudden it won't load aol mail. I researched and deleted the account in mail and added back worked for a bit. I think each time I shut down my mac it seems to undo everything having to do with aol mail. I have to delete the account and start over and that is not even working all the time now. Then when I go and add back a signature for that account it seems to mess it up again. What is up with this. I have contacted AOL twice. They help me get it working again but it keeps reverting back in mac mail and won't pull in the AOL mail. The outgoing server only shows as AOL not a real address.

I've read some threads but none truly answer my question. I have learnt I need to create a rule in CLOUD as mail is sent to all devices from there and if I create the rule in MAIL on my desktop it does not solve the issue as it will still get sent to other devices, correct?
I want to create a rule for junk. Ever changing junk email addresses, content etc. Sometime mail recognies it and sometimes not. How can I set up a rule, filter, etc to delete these permamnently . Its hard when the sender address is ever changing, or the content is never the same. IE one day it is from weatherx@
next time w3ath3rx@, next vveatherx@..it is so annoying. Or the content like I saw this morning every single word had a 20 in front of it...
