My Mail account fails to connect and it prompts me for my password which fails to resolve the problem. This has only occurred since my upgrade to OS X 10.7. I have verified all of the accccount settings (by comparing them to my iPad Mail account setting which still works). Is there a glitch in Mail 6.0? I have a 2011 MPB 15" 2.0 GHz 4/500 with Snow Leopard. Thanks.
What happened when you followed the instructions in the support article?
If you're referring to the generic support article that addresses basic connection to mail accounts, nothing changes. Btw; I have OS X 10.8, ML
I'm referring to the article that referred you here and is linked at the top of the page. I don't beg for information and I'm not interested in guessing games. The article describes a test procedure. What were the results?
I'm sorry if I sounded glib or insulting to you. That was not my intent. Ssince I initiated this inquiry I have shut off my MBP, left it alone for about 3 hours and when I returnned to it, it worked fine.
As for the test procedure, The top light was green (Connected to internet), the second line was red ( comcast.net unable to connect to this server) the third light was green (iCloud connection and login succesful) and the last line was red (smtp.comcast.com could not login to server).
I hope I haven't wasted your time but this has been occurring to me intermittently since I upgraded to OS 10.8.
I appreciate your time.
If the problem is resolved without your having changed anything, then it was almost certainly due to conditions on the server or in the network. Intermittent outages of network services are a common occurrence and are out of your control.
Thank you.
Mail 6.0 won't connect to one of my accounts, only since upgrade to OSX 7
