Latency of IMAP in Mail

No doubt others have asked this question, but I have not be able to locate the answers - so apologies in advance if it duplicates the previous messages.

I am a user of e-mail veteran, who moved from Eudora mail when I moved from POP IMAP in iCloud. I have * several * mailboxes, residing within other batches. Mail has always worked like a charm, but, since his arrival at El Capitan, there is a latency and boring when you perform routine operations. For example, I read and a message, only to discover later in the Inbox. I learned to leave "fluffy" for several minutes before deleting or moving them or try to delete attachments from messages. Even though I have a very fast Mac, abandonment of the Mail - and only Mail - may take several minutes. In the past, all these operations were virtually instantaneous.

Nothing in my situation has changed - beyond travel to El Capitan. (I'm running OS X on a Mac Pro 2013 10.11.3). It is if the Mail is in conversation at a leisurely pace with iCloud and not tolerate interruptions. Is this the new normal? Or is there something I can do to return the mail to its previous level of reactivity?

The current version of the letter isn't able to process subfolders of mailboxes on an IMAP or Exchange Server. If you create these subfolders, I suggest that you sign in to the account in a web browser, move messages out of the subfolders and then delete the subfolders. Use smart mailboxes to organize your e-mail.

  • IMAP e-mail accounts went into Mail after upgrade of the Sierra

    I have three accounts of mail main I use, everything set up as IMAP accounts on my server of companies. I access it with four devices - 2013 iMac, iPhone 6, iPad (generation 3d) and a MacBook Pro 2010. I did the upgrade of Sierra on the MacBook Pro and, if my email seems to operate normally (inboxes and messages are still there - if I delete something from a box on the MBP, it appears in the trash on other devices, mail received as usual, etc.), when you go into Preferences-> accounts IMAP accounts make their appearance is no longer Although I see them as POP (which they were initially put in place as, but those who have been disabled when I have everything changed in IMAP and I just have not deleted.) They still show as inactive).  I also have an IMAP to iCloud account and who shows up as usual.

    Any thoughts?

    Check in your library > Mail folder. You see a V3 folder? If so, you always see your IMAP accounts listed? You must have a V4 folder now with your data.

    In Mail > Preferences > account, you can click on - to remove the accounts. This will bring you to system preferences > Internet accounts. Delete the account and add it as IMAP.

    Note: When you remove a POP account it also deletes all the data in the POP Inbox, drafts, Sent, Trash, and junk. You can save these data just in case he deletes also server when the account is deleted.

  • Tbird email phone synchronization using IMAP and Mail app?

    Hello

    Looks like I can do this verification but required double. I stopped using the e-mail a little backwards and use Tbird now.
    But I'd like to be able to check your e-mail from my phone on a non-gmail address non-yahoo email. It uses one
    separate domain name.

    Can I use the mail on an iPhone app and set up the Tbird on my computer as an IMAP instead of POP account
    and basically to synchronize two e-mail clients to check the same e-mail address?

    I saw the IMAP and sync in the knowledge base article, which I shall call. I just want to know if
    It's how people check e-mail on their phone.

    I'll reiterate, I don't want to use gmail or yahoo. I have a gmail account and I don't like the
    interface enough also check that particular email using gmail account.

    Thank you
    Jane

    I think you should remove your POP account first and then create a new IMAP.

    It is the opposite.

    In your opinion, is the best way to verify the account, even on an iPhone?

    That's the whole point, to use the IMAP protocol on the phone as well.

    I keep seeing references to add-ons, but I can't find what I'm looking for.

    Do not know what makes reference to tell you and you want to install an add-on in the first place. I got the iPhone expect IMAP support out of the box. Is Thunderbird.

  • Why "Bulk Mail" foder not shows not the number of unread messages unless I click on the folder (via IMAP Yahoo mail)?

    'Spam' of the Yahoo e-mail account folder (as seen through the web interface 'Yahoo mail') is displayed in Thunderbird as 'Bulk Mail' (IMAP). Looking at the account in Thunderbird foders, I see the number of unread messages in each folder. "Bulk Mail" always seems to be empty. If I click on the "Bulk Mail" folder, then magically messages appear in the message list and the number of unread messages is displayed next to the name of the folder, as in all other folders for this account.

    Why I need to touch the "Bulk Mail" folder to see the number of messages inside?

    Yahoo deletes the messages in this folder during certain periods. I'm in danger of losing messages unless I remember to touch all of the mail files in bulk from my account Yahoo in Thunderbird.

    How do I get the "Bulk Mail" folder to display the number of unread messages as do all other folders of the same account?

    Thunderbird 24.6.0, Windows 7 Enterprise Edition (Sp1)

    I do not use IMAP in Thunderbird, so I can't provide instructions step by step, however, other e-mail programs have settings synchronize each individual file on a calendar or using push IMAP (vs when you click it) or not. If Thunderbird has these parameters, I would expect that they appear in the properties of the folder or the account settings. This might be useful, but I don't know if you already have a few dig like that or not.

    FYI, a quick search brought me to this page:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/configuration-options-folders

    An item listed on this page is the following:

    Configure the IMAP folders, connections, and namespaces

    Location of the menu: tools | Accounts settings | < account name >. Server settings | Advanced

    It might be a good starting point because it does not mention connections to IMAP folder, but the folder properties could still be somewhere easier to read first, just in case. To do this, the site lists this:

    Configure the properties of the folder (IMAP folders only)

    Menu card: Edit | Folder properties. General information

    However, I think that you could right-click on the "Bulk Mail" folder and click Properties on the shortcut menu.

  • E-mail woes! IMAP and Mail.app

    I just upgraded to a new computer with 10.8.5 installed (that's as far as going to 10.8).

    Seems that Comcast now requires us to use the IMAP system, which is horrible, because it creates all kinds of unwanted records, he spits in your Mail.app (CAT? That devil has time to CHAT?) and when you try to clean your phone or iPad, it removes them from your computer too! BAH!

    I tried to bypass it by selecting in the mail acct prefs each "NEVER erase" I can't see... any suggestions?

    Then, I never thought that I have it would take, but y at - it a suggestion for a program of mail 3rd party replacement in lieu of Mail.app?

    Problems with Mail.app is that there is no colour and that it is difficult to see (at my age, my eyes is although I don't even wear glasses to bifocals yet), and it's glitchy that you can try to customize the toolbar and it freezes completely, forcing you to quit and restart.

    It is very difficult to read, enter tasks and scroll bars are missing and he lost the ability to click a button when you want to paste in HTML messages and not to lose the formatting. The controls are weak and slow, but maybe it's because the IMAP that seems to remotely control your email!

    So I thought instead that swear on this subject, as I did for two days now, I come here and ask what alternative exists for the mail.

    If Apple continues in the direction to emulate a badly coded and difficult to see and use the PC, I don't see how it will benefit financially. I did not pay 4 X as much for a Mac just to fight with the same problems people have on much lower (used to be anyway) PCs.

  • canceled account IMAP - e-mails in the mail application has disappeared

    I have several accounts e-mail running on OS X Yosemite. I cancelled an imap account to my provider and do not think that, that all emails from this account would disappear immediately. (Yes, I should have exported their beforehand...)

    The files appear to be still in the Library/Mail. Is it possible to activate in the mail? Or I can restore them with time machine?

    Try to add the account back to see if they will show. If so, drag them to another folder before deleting the account. If you see them in Library/Mail, drag the Inbox on your desktop, then Mail/file/import the mailboxes.

  • An iPhone 3 g is too old to manage IMAP e-mail?

    Is the iPhone 3GS 'too old' for IMAP?

    I help an old friend of 83 who lives two States away. She contacted me about two problems with the e-mail on his iPhone 3 g (model A1303). She has an e-mail account with Comcast, and FWIW, the Comcast account is his only email.

    The first problem was that she could receive but not send email with his phone. The second problem involved his attempt to move from POP3 to IMAP. The ISP had recently sent him a message encouraging their customers to move from POP3 to IMAP.

    We made the switch to IMAP with her other mobile device (a Kindle Fire first edition), but she has not had any luck on his iPhone. In his attempt, she has deleted inadvertently his iPhone Comcast e-mail account. She took the phone to his local AT & T store, where a technician put it nicely back. Now she can receive and send messages on the phone, but IMAP remains elusive. She asked the guy from AT & T on IMAP, and he told her that her phone is too old.

    Really...?

    All iPhones of any age can handle IMAP, iCloud is actually a system iCloud himself.

  • BlackBerry Z10 cannot add the iCloud IMAP e-mail. Weird error message.

    Hello

    Just, I've got my mobile business phone, a BlackBerry Z10 and wanted to add my iCloud service in the personal workspace. The contacts and the synchronization of calendar just fine, but when you add the mail I get this error message:

    "order: b 'CAPABILITY'-online socket error:-too much reading 0.

    Also when you try to add the e-mail as an IMAP account standard account, enter all parameters according to Apple, I always get the error message once he wants to "save and check your settings. I also tried different combinations of ports (587, 25), smtp, SSL and StarTLS. Using the user name with or without the @me.com. Use @icloud.com instead @me.com,... etc. etc. Always get this error message.

    Then I though perhaps administrators blocked this feature, however I was able to add my personal gmail account, which would have been the case if they would block private emails.

    Any help much appreciated!

    Thank you, Christoph

    I have solved the problem now.

    It is not logical to me, but it works.

    Rather than take the path normal through the settings, accounts, add imap, etc.

    I did this:

    1. slide to the left to open the hub

    2. press the button 'More' at the bottom right

    3. tap on settings

    4. type e-mail accounts

    5. tap on add account

    6. tap on advanced

    7. tap on IMAP

    Then follow the normal steps by filling out the form.

    I know that (I think) is in the same place to complete the form only when you go through the steps described in the knowledge base article.

    Still, I can't explain why, but it worked for me. Using the same exact references.

    Thanks for your support tho!

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not configure the IMAP e-mail account

    I'm trying to update the password IMAP on a Bold 9700, a process I did several times in a recent past.  However, on this particular device, I can't even on the menu for e-mail accounts.  Every attempt causes the message to ianane OS; "Your device had a problem connecting to the server."  I'm then to try again (an endless loop) or cancel.

    I think it has something to do with my ISP (AT & T) because I had similar symptoms on another device (same model, w/o business security policies).  I was able to fix on the other device by removing the books of IMAP Service and then by doing a hard reset.  It does not work for BB problem.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    PS whatever it is, it's better than a horn in the neck... ask Julio Aparicio.

  • 'Unable to connect to the server' msg on Palm Pre to the IMAP e-mail server

    I am trying to connect to a server of Courier IMAP on my Palm Pre. It happens to be a Lotus Domino 7 server, but I don't think that is relevant, unless someone can suggest a better Protocol IMAP (don't want to use POP, because I want access to records). I was able to use it very well on my Palm 750 (Win Mobile) and now for the test, on Outlook Express as a Windows client, so I know that the IMAP server does not work correctly.

    On the Meadow, when I press the "Sign In" button at the bottom of the page of manual configuration of account, I always get the message:

    Error

    Unable to connect to the server

    I am able to sync the Pre with EAS system based on Zimbra to my business and my personal Google gmail account without any problem.

    On the Meadow, in the manual configuration of the account, I entered

    E-mail type: IMAP

    nom_ordinateur.nom_domaine.com

    user name [no @domain.com]

    password

    Port: 143

    Encryption: no

    [And yet once again, I know that the values that I have entered are correct, because I just enter values in Outlook Express and it worked fine.]

    He actually let me same hit "Sign in" until I set up outgoing mail server also (which seems weird and as a minor bug - it should let me retrieve messages, even if I don't have an available SMTP server to send responses). So, I also implemented the mail out with authentication server. I don't know I have a valid for sending SMTP system, but let's assume that is not related to the error, as I just want to do my incoming mail and be able to deposit in the IMAP folders respective, at least for now. I'll worry send later.

    Initially, I left the empty root folder option. I also tried to put a "/" (single, slash, ignore the quotation marks) in there. No effect.

    (Question on semi - the Pre does support multiple connections EE without getting confused? In general (on Win Mobile anyway), you can only have 1 per device. If it was an option on the Meadow, perhaps I could empty Domino in favour of another Exchange Server, but this would be a term much more time here, I hope with my IMAP question).

    Thanks for any help,

    Colin

    It seems that you need a smtp server configuration that is valid for the step of the link set.  In the test here, if the SMTP connection is refused/incorrect login it will not create the account (verified by looking at the packet stream, newspapers of IMAP connection fine, SMTP connection refused, account refused on the Meadow).

    So now, it seems that you need a valid SMTP server in order to create an account.

  • My server type must be an IMAP e-mail server, but both the standard Wizard and custom wizard to make a type of pop server. Nothing works.

    The first time I tried to install thunderbird, he automatically gave me an IMAP setting. I had the opportunity to change setting of pop. I couldn't do that. It was just the first time. Then I went into the settings of the server and passed under the name of the POP server to imap.fsu.edu. However, the words above the area, who say "Server Type: POP ' do not change. When I try to open Thunderbird I get the error message "error on POP3.

    I deleted Thunderbird 3 times and reinstalled three times, twice by using the custom setting. I have never yet to choose IMAP instead of POP, and every time I get the message when the Thunderbird open POP3 error was given.

    If the installation wizard does not get the account of the installation of work settings and do a manual install.

  • Mac OS Sierra mail IMAP account attachments

    Hello

    Since I upgraded to Sierra, IMAP e-mail account set up on mac mail does not work how it should. For some weird reason, number of mails in my Inbox attachments disappeared and I can't find them. I can see the attachment on my IOS mail, but not Sierra mail. Can you please help?

    Thank you

    Hi krmshn,

    I understand that after upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, you can't view attachments you receive via your IMAP e-mail account. I know it's important to have access to all your files, so I'm happy to help you.

    It is possible that during the upgrade, your IMAP mailbox has been corrupted and prevents you to view these attachments. To resolve this problem, we will rebuild your mailbox.

    To rebuild your mailbox:

    1. Open mail
    2. Select the mailbox in the sidebar to the left
    3. Use the Mail menu bar and choose BALL > rebuild. This will take some time depending on the number and size of messages in the Inbox mailbox.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!

  • Gmail and Apple Mail - POP IMAP

    I converted about 10 POP IMAP e-mail accounts.  In the process, I lost thousands of emails associated with my ISP email accounts. It was really my fault... water under the bridge.

    It's bad enough, but the worst is Gmail. I never use Gmail online. With pop, I just received messages via Apple Mail and delete or remove messages on my MBP.

    Now, after having converted the IMAP accounts, I get all gmail messages I've ever sent or received, down, responsible for Apple Mail and I can't understand how to stop them.  He now has a record of archive which regenerates every time that I have trash all messages.  There are a multitude of other questions as well.

    At this point all my accounts are offline until I can figure out what to do.  All advice is greatly appreciated.

    • IMAP accounts: Messages are stored on an e-mail server until you delete them. When your account connects to the server, it is synchronized so that the messages on your Mac are the same as those on the server. Messages are accessible from different computers and locations where you use the account.
    • POP accounts: Messages are stored on an e-mail server and are downloaded to your Mac when you access your account. Messages remain on the server until they are deleted from the server.
