I have a problem with the mail app which is extremely annoying.
My Gmail and Hotmail accounts constantly have a little circle with a triangle and a (!) inside next to the account names. While these are showing, I cannot send or load (receive) any new mail.
When I click the circle, a box appears and says:
"There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account Hotmail or try again.
The server returned the error: The server pop3.live.com cannot be contacted on port 995."
I click "Take All Accounts Online", the box disappears, but nothing happens. I cannot seem to fix the problem, no matter how much fiddling with the Connection Doctor I do.
I did remove the accounts and re-add them, which loaded all of my emails and worked for a short time, but then the same problem happened again and I cannot find a solution.
I read on another thread it may the the internet connection, but my internet connection is fast and reliable.
I have recently upgraded my OSX to Mountain Lion. This rarely happened before the update. I am using a Macbook Pro.
Please help!
Thanks in advance
