I tried the disconnect all users - powered off TC - it did not solve the problem. My problem seems to be predominatly that my wired Macs are having this issue more so than my wireless ones. What seems to trigger the message is when I have a share mounted on the TC - and I do a significant data transfer - either to or from the share in Finder - such as copying my iTunes library or iPhoto library - upon completion of the copy - or shortly thereafter - the Discconect message will pop up. A Time Machine backup - however - does not seem to cause this problem. But, once the message pops up - it will continue to pop up periodically (even without any data transfer taking place) and then eventually stops after 6 hours or so.
I have not yet tried downgrading the firmware. I am not (and was not) having wireless issues either before or after the firmware update (at least that I am aware of). I am not sure why continuously pinging a web address would resolve this issue - so I did not try that script.
Based on what I observed today - the message seems to occur only after a large copy operation to or from a share on the TC - while the finder has it mounted and while the share is open in finder.
Just out of curiosity - has anyone tried mounting the TC via smb:// vs the default of afp://? Or - has anyone tried mounting a share on another NAS drive (non TC) via either AFP or SMB to see whether the disconnect message pops up for those drives as well? I have two other NAS drives (one of which supports AFP) and the other does not. I will try this tomorrow - and see if I can get the message to pop up. If it does - that would indicate that the problem is Lion and not necessarily the TC firmware update. I will report back in a day or so - and possibly try the firmware downgrade.
I included a screen shot of the message that I get - to ensure we are all talking about the same issue.

I am now getting the same server interrupted Scott and that is on SL.. and it only started since I upgraded firmware on the TC, as I was happy to let other people do the guinea pig stuff. Interesting first few days after the upgrade it was ok, but is now regular like every few minutes.. and is painful in the extreme.. especially as finder still has the TC listed. And I can easily access it. TC is listed in the ARP table and has not changed IP or anything as it is in bridge.
The log from the TC is full of disconnections. And the connection is ethernet.

I have tried a few different things but no luck.. what is difficult is this happened on another TC I had.. two series 3 1TB and I could never figure out the error but when I put another one in, it never gave me trouble so I forgot about it. So this issue may have been in the background for a while.. but I am pretty well convinced I need to go back to earlier firmware.
I have another NAS which is SMB, no issues with it. It is purely the TC.
I am going to return to older firmware and if the TC flashes for updates again it can go to blazes.

This is the same message as me, the pop up is the same as the screen grab.
SBeattie2 Dec 6, 2011 6:28 AM
in response to LaPastenague
I see exactly the same login/closing messages in my log - on or around the time of the Server Disconnect popup as well as constantly throughout the day. I am starting to wonder if these are normal - and not necessarily the "cause" of the disconnect message. I believe that I also see a "key rotation" message in my log as well. I will still test with my other drives (as well as SMB on the time capsule - just out of curiosity).

Scott, I think if you downgrade the firmware you will be much happier, but for me I also disconnected all users and rebooted after the downgrade.
The script will do nothing for you, as you are connected via Ethernet. For Lion users connected via WiFi, it seems to solve the intermitent WiFi issue, which can also cause these interrupted connections. WiFi users on Lion should try it.
I can also confirm even after the downgrade I still see the same closing/login messages in my log, but it does not seem to impact anything, and I do not see the dialog with the older firmware.

I've also downgraded now— it turns out that rebooting alone was at best a temporary solution, since the error (yes, same as the image above) returned after a couple days, and was as frequent as before. I reverted to the previous firmware, and so far everything has been fine. (I'm running Snow Leopard)
It sounds like a general problem, since I have an Airport Extreme, not a TC, but the recent firmate update did exactly the same thing to it...
SBeattie2 Dec 6, 2011 11:21 PM

Okay - Here are my results of extensive testing today - repeatedly copying my iTunes and iPhoto Libraries to the TimeCapsule (SMB and AFP) , to a D-Link DNS-323 NAS (SMB only) and to a Western Digital MyBook Live 3-TB NAS (AFP and SMB).
I had these copies going in all directions - two different Macs (iMac and MacBook Pro) - wired - all day long - but only to shares mounted via SMB - to my various NAS drives including the Time Capsule. There was not one occurence of the Disconnect popup during 6 hours or so of copying (iTunes library about 30 gig - and iPhoto about 12 gig). I disabled Time Machine backup during this testing to avoid having it confuse the test results.
In the middle of the afternoon the - I switched over to AFP mounted shares - I did an AFP mount on the MacBook Pro to the WD MyBook Live drive - copied the iPhoto library over to it. No popup. Then on the iMac - I did an AFP mount to the Time Capsule and copied the iPhoto library to the Time Capsule. Copy was successful - but within two or three minutes of the copy completing - the Disconnect warning dialogue popped up on the iMac (not the MacBook Pro) and continued popping up at the following times: 14:58, 15:31, 15:50, 16:00, 16:17, 17:48, 18:17 and 18:57. No messages in the TC log. No active transfers to or from the TC during the subsequent popups. Currently I have logging level set to 6 (Info) - now setting it to 7 (Debug) and will try again tomorrow.
Obviously my test results are pointing to the issue being with the Time Capsule and/or the firmware upgrade (since SMB all day long did not have an issue on the TC or the DNS-323 - with constant data transfer occuring over a wired connection - as well as AFP and SMB working fine to the WD MyBook Live).
I believe that Apple made some type of change in the AFP specification starting around 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Not exactly sure what they changes were - but could be a factor here - meaning that Macs on the latest (and last) version of Snow Leopard may be seeing the impact of the AFP changes.
My MacBook Pro and MacBook Air are typically connected wirelessly and usually through the TC vs my other access points. This week I have the MacBook Pro wired (with Wifi disabled). I did initially notice some wireless issues with Lion - but those seem to have disappeared with OS X 10.7.2 - or at least I am not noticing.
I believe I now know how to reproduce the Disconnect popup - and hopefully logging level 7 may show something when the Popup occurs again.

I am assuming that reverting to a previous version of the firmware is going to result in the LED continuously flashing orange beause of the detection of an available update? Can anyone confirm this? If I remember correctly - I believe the Time Capsule forced me to upgrade to the 7.6 firmware and wouldn't allow me to do much until I performed the upgrade.
LaPastenague Dec 7, 2011 1:04 AM
in response to SBeattie2
Mine has been back to earlier version of the firmware for a day now..
No popups.. no server disconnected messages.. and so far still green..
Most messages you can just turn off.. perhaps after you upgrade and downgrade again it will leave you alone.
So with your testing it is pretty conclusive Apple bombed on this firmware.
SBeattie2 Dec 8, 2011 12:22 AM
in response to LaPastenague
That is good to know - that the LED is staying green after downgrading. I haven't decided to go back to the previous version just yet. I did not have much time to work on this today - but I did get the pop up - one more time today - on the same iMac - and nothing much was happening - as it was sleeping most of the day - and Time Machine backups are disabled.
I checked the log again (this time with logging set to severity level 7 (debug) - and still no additional info in the log. The only messages I see are the same level 5 messages that I always see. I was really expecting to see a lot more detail on other operations.
It should be noted - that the TC is only generating the popup when a share is mounted via AFP (the default) and not via SMB - at least in my case. I wonder if Apple is monitoring theses thread and is aware of the problem?
Since I have Apple Care - I can probably log a support incident - however - that can prove to be time-consuming. I will update this thread when I have more to report.

In the menu called options.. just type options into find a setting.. turn off check for firmware updates.. sigh.. It is set to one week by default.. that is why it blink..darm hidden options.

in response to Folbo
Thanks all for an informative thread - I had this issue too, what with a log filled with AFP sessions closing and opening every two minutes or so. I've even heard the drive spinning up at night, after I'd logged off, shut down the laptop and gone to bed.
Tried switching channels, which put off the next occurance about an hour and a half, after which the every-two-minutes rate was back (really weird if you think about it, this change in behavior caused by a channel switch), and then I downgraded to 7.5.2 and now I have close to 12 hours without AFP incident - just normal rotation of TKIP key once and clock syncronisation every hour.
So, for my money: - the recent firmware version is bugged.
Thanks again.

I am also experiencing the same issue and have regularly seen the screen grab since the new firmware release.
I have just downgraded as suggested and hope that this will do the trick.
Thank you to everone who has provided information on this issue.
Hopefully Apple will correct the position ASAP.
Ray Allen Dec 14, 2011 8:40 AM
in response to Ray Allen
OK after doing the disconnect and reboot, the message stayed away for five days. But it come back.
To reacap I downgraded the firmware after I was getting the message with the new firmware.
So it seems the firmware does not matter.
It's starting to look like a Lion issue for me.
Cthulhu Dec 14, 2011 8:46 AM
in response to Ray Allen
Ray - Remind us if you are connected via Ethernet or WiFi. If your are using WiFi, you may be seeing the Lion WiFi bug instead of or in addition to the firmware bug.

Ruby woo is my problematic fave.
I have probably 5 matte red lipsticks and I love them all, but ruby woo remains my favorite simply because the color is so deep and beautiful. When applied correctly the super dry matte texture is also gorgeous, but because it is SO matte it presents some problems. After applying this for the first time and sitting around for a few hours in class, maybe drinking some water, I find that it is worn off in the center of my mouth (embarrassing) and chunky and flaky around the edges. I was super disappointed, as I had heard amazing things about ruby woo and what a great luxurious product it was. Eventually I learned you just have to be careful when you apply it. Now I exfoliate my lips with a toothbrush and slather them in rosebud salve and let them soak it up while I apply the rest of my makeup, line the outside and fill in with a pencil (a cheap nyx one) and apply ruby woo in the center and blend out with my ring finger, layering a bit depending on how intense I want it. Done this way it is beautiful and lasts for hours! Highly recommended.

I can NOT be without my ruby. Even though it can get very dry at times it is my favorite. There is no way you can wear this lipstick and not receive compliments all day. Very bright and vibrant.

i really wanted to love this lipstick since so many good rave about it. but unfortunately the shade doesn't suit my complexion and it's very very drying :(
Can't even swipe without lip balm underneath.

Really great matte red lipstick. Product is pretty drying and can bleed. Would not recommend applying without lip liner. I've worn to a party where... lots of drinking was involved... and I was worried about my lipstick all night but it stayed put really well given the situation. Although I would not try reapplying unless necessary, it gets pretty clumpy on the second application.

What a perfect red! Joined the MAC party a bit late, but i'm glad I started with this. I'm NW 35 for reference, with a yellow-toned complexion. This color pops out as the perfect accessory to brighten up my face. I have the retro matte version, which goes on smooth, but can be a bit drying. However, it doesn't seep into your lip lines, or become uneven. You can touch up after 4-5 hours or after you've eaten, but the color stays fresh and deep. Truly recommended for women with a wheatish complexion.

Mac's best lipstick especially out of the retro mattes I dont like any of the other retros but ruby woo is classic it stands out and in my opinion its not a serious red its more playful because up close its a bright cherry color but its crisp, bright and looks and wears crisp n clean no lip liner needed although I do sonetimes use the ruby woo liner with it I get a lot of compliments on this lipstick and im not a lover of red lipsticks but I wear this more often than any of my other macs because I can go in public and not worry that it smeared or faded or ended up under my bottom lip it stays put so its a winner in my book.

Redd lip pencil by MAC finally made a believer outta me when it comes to this lipstick. I favor a orange red more than a blue based red so the orange in Redd helps get me that extra something I need to feel comfy wearing ruby woo. I love this and now understand why it is such a classic.

my all time fav lippy love it got 2 the perfect red for every skintone very similar to riri woo
the texture is amazing no need to apply lipliner before hand makes lips look bright and full
it just brightens the face when applied
highly recommend it if you are looking for a red lippy

Ruby Woo is one of MAC's most famous lipsticks and is a HG product for many. However, as a retro matte, I found the formula very drying on my lips, making every line and crack show up. I also found the lipstick to be overly hard to apply and chalky. The colour itself is nice, and it lasts for hours and hours, however the formula and drying out issues do not make this product worth its price or the hype. For an alternative red, I would recommend MAC's Ladybug.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This is probably the most expensive lip product I own as well as one of my favourites. The colour is amazing although I don't usually wear it full on. I usually dab it in the inner part of my lips in order to create a gradient effect and it works very well.
Texture & fragrance :
It has a creamy texture that doesn't dry out my lips or accentuate my dry patches. It has ordinary mac lipstick scent.
Packaging :
Comes in the usual mac packaging which I am not too fond of as we can't see the colour of the lipstick outside.
Overall, this is worth the hefty price tag and I would repurchase and recommend this to anyone.

Red Lipstick on WOC by Marquita1986

Hey boxing fans, understand one thing - that there is no anticipation surrounding this fight. This fight is a sham and a shame on boxing because this will be one of the most lopsided fights in boxing history. I live in the Bronx on the sixth floor and I wouldn't pay to see these guys fight if they were going at it on the elevator in my building.
The Golden Boy is looking to pad his boxing record with an easy win so he picks on a guy that is naturally smaller then he is. If Delahoya wants to impress the boxing world, why doesn't he move down to 135lbs (lightweight?) Then the fight will be interesting and we might see some fireworks.
Delahoya is much bigger then The Pac-Man, so the outcome of this fight will be predictable, the bell will ring and the Golden Boy is going to mug The Pac-Man. It's that simple. In fact: the outcome of this fight will look like the fight when Terry Norris mugged Meldrick Taylor for the super welterweight title in the mid 90's.
Now by no means am I trying to take something away from the Pac-man because he's a great fighter and a warrior. But in all honesty The Pac-man gets too easy and he's never been hit by a puncher like Delahoya. Pac-man might be taking this fight solely for the money but he might not be able to count it once the fight is over.

Genesis 1:6-8New International Version (NIV)
6 And God said, "Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

Solar Leaders Applaud New PV Cost Study that Shows Government Policies Reduce Installed Costs, Expand U.S. Solar Market
Today researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab released "Tracking the Sun II: The Installed Cost of Photovoltaics in the U.S. from 1998–2008." The new report found that the average cost of going solar in the U.S. declined by more than 30 percent from 1998 to 2008, a trend that can be largely attributed to the success of market-building policies at the state and local level. Findings also show that, after a three-year plateau, costs decreased by 3.6 percent from 2007 to 2008, marking a pivotal year for the American solar industry.
Nice Solar Stats
The US Department of Energy (DOE) put out a nice press release recently that we never got to covering. There were several stats in it that I thought were worth sharing & bookmarking for later reference.

Helloooo Gigposterers,
I play drums in a band called Akimbo and we're having our ten year anniversary and record release show on Saturday September 27th. So, if you live in Seattle - come on down. info is below. Andrew Crawshaw of Broken Press will be doing the screened poster for this. WOOT! *nat
================================================== =====
Saturday September 27th, 2008
Neurot Recordings, 90.3 KEXP, Sound Magazine, Three Imaginary Girls, Solid PR and Panache present:
AKIMBO - (10 Year Anniversary + Jersey Shores Record Release Show)
HARVESTMAN (Featuring Steve Von Till of Neurosis)
HELMS ALEE (Featuring Members of Lozen & Harkonen)
at KING COBRA
916 E. Pike St, Seattle, WA 98122
21+ 9pm $8 Advance
www. brownpapertickets. com/event/38755
================================================== ===
We are thrilled to finally announce, after weeks and weeks of all kinds of fickle bullshit that would give the devil a migraine, that our goddamn record release show for Jersey Shores will be happening on Saturday, Sept 27th at King Cobra on Capitol Hill.
The release of our newest album also just so happens to coincide (within a matter of days) with the first show that Nat and I ever played as Akimbo back in 1998, and I can't think of a better way to make merry than by combining the album release show with a TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY party. Yeah. Ten. Stupid but true.
Joining us on this evening will be a few special guests that are actually special, not just other bands that fit the monicker because of tardiness. HELMS ALEE will open, featuring long time flannel-wearing, beard having bro Ben Verellen of Harkonnen. They are one of our favorite bands in Seattle as of late and we're hoping we have many shows together to come. Also playing will be HARVESTMAN, the solo project of one Mr. Steve Von Till, guitar player in Neurosis and label benefactor of Neurot Recordings. To say the least, we think you'll be pleased with the opening bands.
Akimbo will be performing Jersey Shores in it's entirety. Every succulent note from start to finish. The album comes out on Sept 23rd, or you can buy it from us at the show. Both vinyl and CD will be available.
So depsite being jaded road hogs full of spite and mirth, we somehow accumulated a crew of friends through our travels. A decade will do that. The people at King Cobra were kind enough to buckle to our unsightly demands and grant us an enormous guest list, because asking your friends to pay to come to a party you're throwing for them is straight up backwards of the ass kind. The upside of that is we're hoping this is just as much a celebration with good friends as it is a show. The downside is that it minimizes the amount of tickets we have available to the public. We've never been the type of band to sell out clubs, but I say this now to anyone interested in coming: get your tickets early! We've invited a shit load of people and the available spots should be considered "effing limited bro". You've been warned.
Brown Paper Tickets - The first and only fair-trade ticketing service!
An enthusiastic nod to our sponsors who actually played a big part in our convincing King Cobra that over half of their capacity walking in for free was a good idea:
Lastly, to our friends all over the world, the invites are on the way. If you don't get one in the next few weeks but think you probably should have, please don't be shy. We are total assholes with huge egos and we gave up your spot to shallow jerks who don't actually like us. Get in touch and yell at us. We deserve it.

I quite frequently hear these questions:
1. My logs/log collection database aren't digitally signed, can I still use them in court?
2. My logs are in a text file that an admin can write to, can I still use them in court?
Our legal department would not like it if I gave legal advice, so I'm just going to point you to the US Department of Justice web site which settles these issues to my (lay) satisfaction. I would also point out BIP 0008, chapter 5, for you folks in the UK. Sorry I don't have worldwide links. If you are seeking a legal opinion, you need to contact a lawyer.
2005-09-29 UPDATE: If you read through these docs, you'll notice that they do not state that audit logs must be digitally signed, but do require some level of protection. In Microsoft's opinion, Windows' audit log meets or exceeds these requirements. Remember that Windows' audit log has been certified and will continue to be certified as compliant with the relevant Common Criteria standards.

An Essay on Economic Growth and Planning
This important essay dates from the end of the fifties. At that time, the rapid rate of Soviet industrialization had directed the attention of economists to problems of economic growth of former colonial areas which had won political independence. As Dobb points out, economists were chiefly concerned with the problems of growth under conditions of private ownership of capital and where investment is primarily under the control of private individuals or firms. The theories of economic growth in vogue at the time derived largely from the well-known growth conditions set forth by Roy F. Harrod and Evsey D. Domar.

text: On Wednesday, Federal Reserve Bank Chairwoman Janet Yellen warned a House of Representatives committee about ″growing risks″ to the American economy. Today she will appear before a US Senate committee to further elaborate on these risks. Meanwhile, markets worldwide declined sharply. Yellen cited a global economic slowdown, primarily driven by slow growth in China and other nations, which in turn are depressing the oil market. Under normal conditions, cheap oil is a good thing, as it spurs consumers to have more disposable income, which then leads us to increased production and more hiring by employers. But things have not been normal since 2008. The ′New Normal′ in the Age of Obama is to get used to being poor, unemployed and miserable all the time!

Engineered Hardwood frame construction allows for greater durability and strength. Mortise and tenon joints have replaced traditional dowel construction used in frame construction. The mortise (hole or slot) is cut into one member and the tenon or tongue from the adjoining piece fits tightly so that, when glued, these joints act as if the wood has grown together. This method of interlocking joinery provides greater stability with fewer joints. Frames are constructed of 7-ply engineered hardwood panels for increased strength and durability. Frames are glued and stapled.
Heavy gauge wire provides comfortable seating, equal weight distribution and durable seating performance. Tempered wire provides memory so that springs maintain their shape. Strong attachment keeps the springs in place and a protective coating prevents seating noises.
The upholstered tight seat is constructed of a polyurethane foam and polyester fiber for a clean, tailored appearance and firm seating.
Tight Backs have sinuous springs that provide comfort, durability and minimize body impressions, through out the life of the product. The back is padded with a layer of polyurethane foam and polyester fiber.
Nail Head
Modern. Luxe. Forever chic. Nail head trim instantly adds panache to a variety of frame options. A graphic way to truly "frame" a frame.
A variety of finishes are available to complement any indoor or outdoor fabric application you choose.

In my last post, I tried to explain why it's economists' perceived failure to predict the current economic crisis is not as reprehensible as it's made out to be. I left off the biggest reason: the existence of governments.
Governments don't follow economic rules. They are the only economic actor without a budget constraint, thanks to the ability to tax and print money; decisions are made by people using other people's money; and the goal of these people is not to maximize profits but to maximize votes and get re-elected. Simply put, rules don't apply to governments. Economists trying to make predictions in a world where governments not only exist but are also key economic actors in constant flux are similar to physicists around a god: anything you predict may come true, unless god changes his mind.
I'd bet that 100% of physicists would say that a body of water could not be spontaneously made to separate into two. All of those people would have failed to predict the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus. The same goes for resurrections, immaculate conceptions, and various other events in the Bible. The best trained scientists would have constantly failed to predict momentous events in the Bible – because god does not follow the rules. Physical laws simply don't apply, and there would be little use in forecasting anything, other than hoping that god will stick to the rules he set forth [like gravity].
God and government can change their minds at any time, of course. God parts the Red Sea, and government spends a trillion it doesn't have; god resurrects a dead man, and government sends thousands to their deaths. The former would confound any natural scientist; the latter confounds economists. Predictions in such a world should come with a huge caveat, and expectations on those making them should be low. With such an uncontrolled power loose in the economic world, it's a wonder economists can make sense of the world at all.

Mitt Romney proposes cutting the super-sized federal budget by $500 billion. Among the expenses he'd eliminate: subsidies for abortion providers like Planned Parenthood and those for Amtrak, which ought to be able to support itself if it's such a needed service. Ditto, much of the federal funding for NPR. Its specialty is nice, respectable liberal platitudes masquerading as news. It's a kind of MSNBC for the commuter class, only MSNBC isn't funded by the American taxpayer. It has that much decency. Why propagandize Americans with our own tax money? Mitt Romney's answer: We shouldn't.
Mr. Romney, former governor and CEO in the private sector, too, would also let the states administer their own Medicaid programs in hopes of reducing its cost to the taxpayers, which grows ruinous. At this rate, there may not be a special interest he hasn't offended in this campaign. It's refreshing.
His businesslike approach to even highly politicized issues bears a welcome resemblance to the recommendations of the Bowles-Simpson Commission, whose work is still being ignored by both the administration and the congressional super-committee that's supposed to come up with some real savings instead of the usual political palaver.
. .
Not that Mr. Romney can't pander to the angriest of his party on occasion. He's come out against treating the children of illegal aliens the same as the native-born when it comes to college scholarships. Even if they were brought to this country at a young age through no choice of their own, raised as Americans, and got the same schooling as their peers.
Why punish these kids (and the rest of us) by denying them an education on equal terms? The only reason I can think of is pure meanness. There's always a lot of that going around whenever a new wave of immigration hits these shores, whether Germans in Ben Franklin's day or Mexicans in ours.
Ranting and raving about a problem is so much easier than fixing it -- in this case by overhauling the immigration system in general. For example, by opening a path to citizenship for the millions of immigrant workers now in this country. To qualify, illegals could be required to meet certain standards, like a minimal proficiency in the English language and paying a fine for having entered the country illegally. Which would be fair enough. But why fix the problem when we can just go on fighting it, especially in election years?
. .
Talking sense to the American people was always a risky venture for any presidential candidate. In uncertain times like these, the voters may demand red meat from their politicians, and grow bored with vegetables, no matter how nutritious. They'll say it's spinach and to hell with it.
Mr. Romney wouldn't be the first politician to make his compromises with popular passions; even the best have been known to do it. Abe Lincoln, for example, took care not to publicly offend the Know-Nothings of his day, at least for a politically crucial time, even though in private he despised their bigoted politics.
But when Mitt Romney tackles a subject he knows something about through experience -- like either business or government -- he makes sense. But that could be his big problem as a candidate in these overheated times. Republican voters in the primaries may reject him as unspeakably sensible.

Everything I do, either deleting account and setting up again or quiting mail and restarting seems to fix it only temporarily. When i restart mail it sends immediately.
Also problem with mail ruless refusing to work - in another thread. Maybe I will try reinstalling mail as I can't work like this any longer.
Just switched to MAC and rather ironic I may be forced to use outlook running in parallels for reliable mail! Need parallels for some other software anyway.

My wife had this same problem on her MacBook, running OS X 10.7.1 and Mail 5.0. Just doing the repair disk permissions trick seems to have fixed the problem (no reinstall of Mail). At least I could immediatly send an e-mail afterwards.
Thanks a lot!

I was too fast on that one. It worked for a few hours, then it stopped sending. I had to install Thunderbird for her to send her e-mails, and she is very frustrated about it. Anyone knows how to fix this problem?
olganyc Oct 19, 2011 6:27 AM
in response to olganyc
An update: After living with a very frustrated wife for some time, and taking quite a bit of heat for not being able to fix it, I tried creating a new user profile to see if the problem would still be there. And lo and behold, Mail worked fine in the new user profile.
I am not a Mac expert (sorry, I am a PC...), so I don't know much about how the configurations are stored for the user profiles, and I wasn't able to find out what was wrong with her profile. I tried to copy over some preference settings to /users/PROFILE/library/preferences from the new working profile to the non working one, but it didn't make any difference.
So, the solution was to move over all documents, music, movies and so on from the old user profile to the new one, which required changing the permission settings on the user directory. And now, using the new user profile, everything seems to finally work.
I hope this helps for others having the same problem.

I've been having problems recently (October 2011) with hanging sends and drafts not being saved. This is in Lion, not Leopard; but perhaps the same solution applies.
Checking the console log on the Mac, I found complaints about a file being locked. Didn't say which one; but I guessed it was the Drafts folder on the mail server (Debian Unix I think). So I logged into my account there with terminal, deleted the file Drafts.lock which indeed was there, copied (not moved) Drafts to a new file, deleted the original, then moved (not copied) the new file back to Drafts. That probably was enough. But for good measure I deleted the .imap/Drafts directory, since if missing it will be regenerated anyway.
All fixed.
Probably something died while holding a lock on Drafts.

Mac mail is working just fine.
Howerver there is one email that is hung up and locked up.
I can not delete it, click on it or anything.
This email is to multiple recipients, around a hundred, I've got the message "can not send mesage using the server" That server works fine with other emails.
I copied the email recipients and the body of the email (from where I pasted it from) loaded it all into outlook on my windows pc and it went fine.
How do I delete this email. I dont want it to go out again.

same problem. deleting the outgoing server and creating it again sometimes worked. I found that I had multiple smtp servers defined. duplicated the primary account server. check that. When all is said and done I needed to add my user name and password to the primary account. it's optional. my server requires a user name and password to send email from a domain that is not the hosting companie's. And the user name has to be a full email address like email@example.com.
Hope this helps....ed

I finaly fixed it. I had 2 servers defined for the same POP account. The default server is not just a selection but an actual server instance. I also had one for the pop account. However, under iOS 5.0.1 it appears mail settings have changed.

I HAVE THE ANSWER!... I have been dealing with this same issue for over 2 years on my MacBook Pro.
It confused me (and every tech genoius I could find) because it only happened while using the MacBook Pro at my office, and was fine at home and at other areas.
But what you need to do is use GENERIC DNS... The 2 from google are
In OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Go to System Preferences, then click on Network, then click on "Advanced" button at bottom right) CLick on the DNS tab. Under the DNS servers column you will probably see 192.168.1.254 (this is your routers default DNS) The problem is outgoing mail tries to go, it's getting slowed down here, so to bypass it you add using the + sign the 2 new DNS servers.. 18.104.22.168; 18.104.22.168. These will replace the router's default DNS of 192.168.1.254 (this was told to me by Apple Tech Support after over 4 different attempts to find some one to help me) Click "OK" and then click "Apply". Restart your copmputer... Go to your MacMail and try sending a "test email" (no attachment) to yourself. It should leave the OUTBOX immediately (unless there's an attachment) and almost instantaneously, you will get your test email in your INBOX... Voila! NOw, the only thign I haven't been able to figure is how to keep these two generic DNS server addresses in my system preferences..Because when I go to a new router (like my home wi-fi router, or even a wi-fi hotspot) the DNS will default back to 192.168.1.254... Just do this procedue whenever you see it revert back.. Maybe there's a way to keep the 18.104.22.168'; 184.108.40.206 in there permantley? I dunno. But I'm so friggin happy thatr I figured it out (or should I say the Apple Tech guy did) and my email life is no longer agony... I used to have to wait almost 35-60 seconds for a sinple email to leave MacMail! All web based email clients worked fine.. I was losing my mind! But now I'm good, try it folks! It works. Why this hasn't been posted elsewhere, I have no idea, but Apple needs to tell everyone this workaround ~ So pleased ~EP

I had this problem with my MacBook Pro running Leopard after sending a file with very large attachments. I tried closing Mail and opening, rebooting, shutting down overnight. Just kept spinning in the Sent and while Mail would receive mail, all outgoing messages were put into the Outbox and not sent.
After reading all the info below, I plugged in an ethernet cable, and almost immediately go a popup that Mail could not send the message with the server selected. It allowed me to edit the message, so I deleted the attachments and changed the message to go to me, and it sent immediately. Also, the spinning wheel by Sent disappeared, and email is now going both ways.
Thanks everyone for your ideas! Hope this helps someone who is stuck in this spinning wheel of doom.

Just discovered this wonderful feature too and when I check the Mail Connection Doctor I get two seperate instances of each of my accounts, see below. Does this happen for anyone else?
I'll keep checking back in the forlorne hope that a proper, solid fix is identified. Until then, I'm going to use Thunderbird - downloading as I type....

Then there's the Cheney hatred. The little-watched Independent Film Channel is preparing a new series for August that they're hyping as "the most violent sitcom ever made." This apparent laugh riot's title, appropriately, is "Bullet in the Face."
The producers have spiced up their formula of "unrestrained shootings, peppered with wildly offensive language," not to mention a dash of crucifix-as-backscratcher humor (been there, mocked that religion) with leftist politics. IFC executives were reported to be concerned about dialogue grouping Dick Cheney in with the likes of Hitler and Stalin. To be precise, it "will be misconstrued as something more than an attempt at some very dark, inappropriate humor."
"Misconstrued" -- like the thought that Bush's head on a pole might imply hostility.
Broken record time: Can anyone imagine a Hollywood production where Barack Obama is compared to Hitler or Stalin? You can't. In fact, the Viacom-owned network TV Land would not even allow the name "Obama" next to the word "mop."
In a taping of an American Film Institute tribute to Shirley MacLaine, Don Rickles, who has spent a half-century poking irreverent, absolutely innocent fun at everyone, joked, "President Obama is a personal friend of mine -- he was over to the house yesterday, but the mop broke." TV Land announced the joke would be edited out of the broadcast, and a Rickles representative said they knew jokes "would be a cut a bit for time."
This is the same Viacom corporation that green-lighted the cartoon "Lil Bush" in 2007, a show so horrid that reviewer Whitney Pastorek at the liberal magazine Entertainment Weekly emphatically denounced how this "borderline irresponsible" program shamed the channel epitomized by the "urbane" satire of Jon Stewart.
"Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Condi Rice are kids! And they're all stupid and evil! Cheney drinks the blood of chickens! And Jeb Bush is retarded! It's a juvenile pile of manure aching to hit the conservative pundit fan," Pastorek lamented. "Thus, I beg those on the right -- and while I'm at it, everyone else -- not to watch it."
The show was a flop, airing only 17 episodes in 2007 and 2008. But the double standard of TV programming remains. The names of Bush and Cheney may be forever blasted. The name of Obama shall be forever exalted.

text: Trust me here - you will never again complain, nor hear complaints about dry meat if you make brining the first step in the preparation of your holiday bird. Brining requires nothing more than boiling water with salt, sugar and spices; cooling the mixture; then soaking the turkey in the brine for 12 to 24 hours.In a 3-to 4-quart saucepan, put the salt, sugar, ginger, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns and allspice. Add 8 cups of apple cider or juice and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Boil for 3 minutes; then remove from the heat. Add 4 cups of ice-cold water, stir and set aside to cool.Have ready a heavy roasting pan large enough to hold the turkey. Place one of the bring bags inside the second one to create a double thickness; then place these bags, open wide, in the roasting pan.Remove the turkey from its wrapping. Remove the neck and bag of giblets from the main and neck cavities of the bird. Store separately in the refrigerator for making gravy. Stuff the main cavity of the bird with the orange quarters.Fold back the top third of the bags, making a collar. Place the turkey inside the double-thick bags, stand it upright, unfold the top of the bag, and pour the Apple Cider Brine over the bird. Add an additional 2 cups of cold water. Draw up the top of the inner bag, squeezing out as much air as possible; then secure it closed with a twist tie. Do the same for the outer bag. Place the turkey, breast-side down, in the roasting pan and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. Turn the turkey 3 or 4 times while it is brining. Just prior to roasting, remove the turkey from the brine. Discard the bags, brine, and any cured herbs or spices remaining on the bird. Discard the oranges and ginger. Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. The turkey is now ready to be roasted following the recipe for Butter-Rubbed Turkey with Apple Cider Glaze on this website, or according to your own favorite recipe.Diane Morgan, The Thanksgiving Table (Chronicle Books, 2001).If you would like to purchase this book, please visit www.chroniclebooks.com" target="_blank"> Chronicle Books.

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah keeps, "treasures" and sometimes shows off a dagger given by Adolf Hitler himself to a visiting Saudi delegation in 1939.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has secretly met Jordan's King Abdullah in Amman to discuss the risk of Syria's chemical weapons falling into the hands of Islamist militants, Israeli media reports said on Wednesday.
Jordan's electoral commission set Jan. 23 as the date for early parliamentary elections on Tuesday after King Abdullah dissolved parliament halfway through its term, reacting to pressure to accelerate political reforms.
Jordan's King Abdullah appointed respected politician Abdullah Ensour as Prime Minister on Wednesday to prepare for the country's first post Arab Spring parliamentary election, due by early next year, a palace statement said.
Israeli policy in Jerusalem is harming the city's holy sites, Jordan's King Abdullah said.
