Has Apple Mail work for anyone? I have had constant problems sending and receiving messages using Apple Mail IMAP and SMTP. What excuses did you receive from Apple tech support?
iMac Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), W2K3 boot camp
Have you at least checked on your server settings? Are you on Comcast/ if so then go to Mail preferences then Accounts and select server setting tab. uncheck auto manage connection and change the port number to 993 and while you are at it go to SMTP uncheck auto manage and check that port to 587
If this is all true then come back and apologize for that Apple support comment.
Over the course of one year I followed suggestions of Apple support reps. I shared screen and revealed all that was required. I do not recall a single Apple support rep would follow up on the outcome, solution or feedback. If you ask for an apology, start with Apple support rep training. Being a pompous *** does not help.
I have tried that with Chat and Phone support (screen sharing). Do not want to wast my time. The problem persists over several OSs. And Apple knows that. I was advised to use ISP for Mail IMAP/SMTP and forget about Apple.
If it's n iCloud account, tons of people re having SMTP troubles.
Thank you. I have been using Comcast ISP for SMTP. Added IMAP as well to get msg faster.
Great to hear Jan, good luck. 🙂
"Solved" does not appear accurate status. Nothing was solved.
Jan, it can't be undone, best to start a new thread & include what you've tried.
We're not Apple here, just other hapless users that sometimes can help, but with this tread being marked Solved, it isn't likely to attract most helpers.
Perhaps marking it solved was a bit arbitrary?
