ICloud On Mac :: Can't Connect To SMTP Server - Connection On Port 993 Timed Out
Jun 25, 2014
Why am I suddenly getting an error message : The server returned the error: The connection to the server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” on port 993 timed out.? I add/edit SMTP servers. Am receiving emails, but can't send from imap acct.
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 have two gmail accounts set up with Mail, but as of yesterday, neither will work. I get a connection failed error (port 993 timed out). I've triple checked all my settings and everything is fine. nothing changed, so i don't understand why it won't work. also, mail has been acting strange overall. if i want to quit it, i have had to force quit it with finder because it won't close on its on.
my e-mail tries to connect but keps spinning. then error message says connection to server could be in timed out. the internet is working fine. e-mail was working fine until it just stopped.
I've been troubleshooting this for over an hour now. My AOL account wont send msgs only receive them. Everytime i try to send i get the error below, i run a diagnostic and mail says it connects with the server fine but sending messages is a no go area.
I've quadruple checked the settings and they seem fine.
Using iCloud through Mail on OSX 10.7.4, I cannot send any emails.I receive them just fine, but it will always timeout when trying to send emails.The smtp server I seem to be on is p02-smtp.mail.me.com. I tried to ping it and it has 100% packet loss, although this might just mean they reject ICMP requests.Sending from my iPhone or iCloud on the web works just fine.
My Mail is no longer working with AOL. I keep getting a message saying that my "connection to port 993 as timed out". I cannot find a way to reactivate this connection. PLEASE HELP someone! I am going mad with this problem.
The problem suddenly popped up today: I wanted to send a message and suddenly got notification that Mail app is unable to send the message using Yahoo server, which I noticed being listed as offline. I clicked on "check connection" and it showed Gmail IMAP and IMAP as well as Yahoo IMAP being connected while Yahoo SMTP not.
On the right side of Yahoo SMTP Red "dot" there was the instruction, which recommended to check settings of the network connection as well as to make sure if the server supports SSL, and if "NO" - deselect it. I'm not as tech savvy so the marked part is just the Chinese language for me: what is SSL, how to check if the server supports it etc?
iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email. "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination". Both appear correct in preferences/accounts. Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
Woke up this morning, flipped open my MBP, and I see an Error Message that says that the Certificate is Invalid for SMTP Mail server. I looked, but it says it doesn't expire until 2014. So why does this message happen and what does it mean? I quit Mail, and then Restarted anyways to see what happens and all seems to be OK. But what does it mean and where does this message generate itself?
I have been given the attached one-pager with screenshots of how to configure a Windows Outlook client to work with our corporate email system (Exchange).
I want to configure the Mail client on my Mac, however.
Can anyone give me a clue where these things are entered? When I add a new account in Mac Mail, and choose Exchange 2007, I don't see similar fields. My guesses so far have resulted in "the server cannot be contacted on port 443
I have my Gmail account set up for IMAP, and use it in Mail. However, as of this morning, Mail can't connect to either the IMAP server or the SMTP server. Whenever I try to connect to the IMAP server, it gives me the following error:
"The server '[URL]' refused to allow a connection on port 993."
I've checked repeatedly and all of my settings are as the Gmail website says they should be. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?
I'm getting this error message today: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “iCloud” or try again. The server returned the error: The server “imap.mail.me.com” cannot be contacted on port 993. should the port or server address be changed?
My email is not receiving new messages and keeps asking me for my key password and says The connection to the server - mail.mac.com - on port 993 timed out.
I upgraded my iMac to Lion recently. Currently running OSX 10.7.3.
I suddenly am unable to have my .Mac email delivered to the Mail application on my iMac, yet my .Mac emails are delivered to my iPhone without any issues and I can also access them via logging-in to my iCloud account using an internet browser.My Mail account pane is as follows. Note that the Incoming Mail server is dimmed-out and I am unable to enter any text into it.
I am on OSX leopard - I used the regular file sharing without restrictions but I have some issues with some users getting accessed to other files.
So, I decided to do an FTP only accounts under mac osx posted at the site below (FTP server admin) and its really good because its what I want to restrict users to only their directory.
in Mail when trying to send a message: The server returned the error: The connection to the server “mail.comcast.net” on port 995 failed (error 1: Operation not permitted)
Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), upgraded to Lion 10.7.4
So I recently moved into a new apartment with my 2 roommates, one of which has a macbook, while the other has a desktop that is plugged directly into the router. My macbook roomie has no issues with the WiFi. I, however, have been having numerous issues. It mostly seems to be with posting things, sending emails, logging into websites, and playing videos. 9/10 times I can't post topics onto message boards or update my facebook status. My Gmail almost always works well, while my college email can't send a thing. On twitter I often cannot load the next set of tweets. I was trying to order a textbook online today, I added to cart, and when I went to complete the checkout, the connection timed out. I can do all of these things, however, on the WiFi network on campus at school. Basically what I'm asking is, is this a problem on my end that I can fix? I doubt that the problem lies with our internet providers, because I can have my laptop side by side with my roommates, and he has no issues.
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?
I just bought one of the new dual-band AirPort Extremes, to replace an older AirPort Extreme (the last generation before this one). I exported my configuration from the old AEBS to a baseconfig file, disconnected the old AEBS, and plugged in the new one. I then imported the baseconfig file, only to find that although its light will turn green, the AEBS will no longer show up in AirPort Utility. To get it back, I have to do a hard reset of the AEBS.
Through painstaking troubleshooting, I have determined that the problem occurs if the configuration includes a port mapping for SMTP (port 25). If I create all of my port mappings (and there are many) BUT that one, then all is well; but as soon as I add a port 25 port mapping and Update the AEBS, it will not restart properly (green light but no one is home).
Just moved from Mobileme to iCloud. ICal on iMac (10.6.8) now constantly giving a "can't connect to server. Reenter password." Acct prefs for ical have correct icloud info. My account info changed when I set up iCloud-I had to create a new account id so I think this could be at the root. Is iCal maybe looking for the old mobileme info (again, my prefs for ical account reflect the new icloud information.)
