Can't get new Mail from my Pop-Account...

Hello,
I have a problem with Mail, as I can perfectly send but not receive Mails from my Pop-Account. The settings are fine and the problem came up suddenly. When I try to get mail from Pop-Account the application starts to load, shows the number of mails in the account, begins to count up the size and then stops. I can even see the title of the mails by opening the window of the Account, but Mail does not download them.
I would be really pleased if anybody could give me an advice what to do.
Thanks a lot an greeting from a German in Bahrain

Hello and thanks to both of you,
I am using Mail 3.1 and the Account is coming from Strato, a German provider. Before, I had no problems neither with receiving nor with sending, but suddenly it stoped. I tried another account (gmail) that worked without any problem. Also your advice with SSl and the ports did not help . I Also phoned the Helpline of the provider Strato without any result . Also the place does not change - it neither works at home nor at work.
Regards from a desperate Mac-User

  • HT2500 how do i get my mail from the pop server to my inbox

    Can someone please help me ! I'm sure I did something by accident and don't know how to fix it. My problem is i don't see any emails in my inbox, however my account info says there is mail on the pop server. how do i get the mail from the pop server to my inbox?
    thank you for helping

    First try rebuilding your Inbox.
    Select the Inbox.
    Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Rebuild (last option in list)
    Note: If you delete a POP account in Mail, it will delete any messages in the Inbox. It does not delete your custom folders or your sent messages.
    If the messages have been deleted and are no longer on the server, you can restore from Time Machine.
    Let us know if this helps.

  • I have a Macbook, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4. I also have iCloud on all three devices. For some reason I can not get new information from my contacts folder to transfer to the iPad or the iPhone. Never been a problem before.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • How Can I get my bookmarks From My Sync account without my sync key after a hard drive crash?

    My Computer Hard Drive crashed before I could back up my Sync Key or add another device. How can I get My bookmarks from my sync account without resetting the sync key and wiping my data?

    Not from Mozilla. Nobody knows your Sync Key except for you. <br />
    Is that hard drive usable at all? Like as an external disk in a USB hard drive enclosure?
    If so, you can recover your Firefox data from that drive. <br />

  • HT201342 How can I back up mails from my other accounts to my iCloud account?

    How can I back up mails from my other accounts to my iCloud account?

    iCloud doesn't back up email.  If you are using an IMAP email account your email is stored on your email provider's server.  Your iPad backup only backs up your email account settings, not your email.

  • Can't get new mail nor view last 2 years of mail

    I am running OSX 10.6.8 with Mail 4.6 using a POP connection to pull emails from Gmail. While Mail updates Apple RSS feeds, it does not get new mail. Also I can't view any mail I have received since 2012. Since Mail 4.6 was only copyrighted until 2012 is that what is going on? I regularly update software so I presumed my mail software was being kept up to date. Also I have 12K piece of mail , could that be an issue? Could I be receiving the mail and its hidden? Please advise. Thanks

    Although no one responded I am posting because this is a cautionary tale. The key problem was that I was synching my mail account to Gmail through POP whereas gmail switched to IMAP two years ago. Because I was unaware of this switch (let's not talk about that) three things were happening. My mail could not get new mail as it was looking for a non-existent i.e. retired connection protocol. So 1) couldn't read new mail, 2) could delete or clean up mail and 3) which was by far the worst part was that the synching I had set up between address book and gmail contacts was going crazy metastisizing contacts and that was putting a strain on my CPU where often 90 % of the CPU use was going to trying something it could not due. Which meant my computer was running very very slowly to the point where I was ready to junk it.

  • Hoping someone out there can with getting junk mail from my  windows live mailbox ? on my iphone

    Hoping someone could help me with getting junk mail from windows mail to my i phone?, i would only like to get my inbox mail

    Are you accessing your Windoze Live account as a POP account or as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app?
    If as a POP account, received messages that are in the account's Inbox at the incoming mail server will be downloaded.
    If you are accessing the account as an Exchange account, all server stored mailboxes will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail app. If as an Exchange account, seems like you would want to have the account's junk mailbox available in case a legitimate message is incorrectly marked as junk and moved out of the account's Inbox mailbox.

  • Can't Get E-mail from Server

    Never a problem in the past. I can send e-mail and I can use Web Mail from Earthlink to get my mail. My Apple mail program just twirls and twirls but cannot connect to download the e-mail. My internet went down for a few minutes yesterday. I turned off the modem and then back on again and re-established the internet. Then the mail problem started. So I shut down everything for 30 minutes. Turned the modem back on. Started the computer.
    Did not solve the problem. Still unable to access the Earthlink mail.
    Of course, any help is always appreciated.
    Marvis

    As of this morning I have had exactly the same problem. I use Earthlink as my ISP. I can send and receive mail fine from the web. Using Mail on my laptop (and my desktop) I can send but not receive mail. I can both send and receive mail from my .mac account using Mail. I also cannot receive mail on my iPhone. However, I can receive mail on my old Treo (which I was going to ditch because of the iPhone - how ironic!). I rebuilt my inbox and it didn't help. Clearly it seems to be a problem with Mail.
    I don't have any answers - just was sort of glad to see that I am not alone, and hopefully one of the gurus out there will have an answer.
    Thanks

  • Cannot send mail from my POP account

    I have a IPod Touch with the latest software installed (I believe that is 3.1.3).
    I have 2 email accounts which I use, a MobileMe account which I am not having any problems with, but my POP account is having problems sending emails. I can receive emails just fine but when I send an email from my POP account I get the error "cannot send email - sender address was invalid". I have deleted the account and set it up as "Other" with all the same settings that are on my Mac but It still does not work. By the way the outgoing server is smtp.west.cox.net if that makes any difference.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you, Baforer. Between your solution and another person having the same problem, I was able to solve mine, an error message saying "Sender address is invalid" when I know my email address WAS correct.
    For anyone else with this problem, I'm using comcast.net in the Northern Virginia area, I went into "Preferences" under the Mail menu (on my Mac), and clicked on "Accounts", Outgoing Mail (bottom of the page), hit button called "Server Settings" and see what port is displayed. In my case, like Baforer, it was 25. So exit out of Mail on your computer and go into Settings on your iPod Touch, Mail etc and go deep to Outgoing mail server, my case "smtp.comcast.net", enter, in next window, all the way at the bottom it says "Server Port"; click on that, a keypad will come up, erase whatever is displayed and enter 25 (or whatever was on your mail acct on your computer - previous step above) and you're finished. You'll here the familiar "whoosh" as those emails in your Outbox get sent on their way.

  • I can't send e-mails from my hotmail account with my Macbook

    Please help, I've noticed recently that I am unable to send e-mails from my hotmail account from my Macbook. I was able to send e-mails today from work (non-macbook). It's getting stressful as I have no idea what to do!

    We took our MacBook Pro to the  apple store, after a long trial and error, they FIXED the  problem!
    It turns out that one of the files was corrupt, it was either Java or Silverlight.
    My suggestion to you is to remove Java than restart and then reinstall Java. See if hotmail works. If not, than, remove Silverlight reboot than reinstall Silverlight.
    For us, it was one of those two files that were corrupt and that was causing hotmail to not be able to send email.
    I'm not sure what the procedure is to remove and reinstall files, all I know is that my wives MacBook can now send email using hotmail.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't get new mail

    hi there. i've just switched frim my old imac g3 (10.3.9) to my new g5. my problem is that i can send e-mails but i can't recieve them. i am using the apple mail program.
    thanks.

    Hello trumancol.
    What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
    What does “i can't recieve” mean? What’s the problem exactly? Is it that Mail doesn’t check for mail on this account, or that it checks but downloads nothing, or what?
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    In Mail, open Window > Connection Doctor. What does it say?
    Could it be that Mail or this particular account is in an “offline” state? Is the Mailbox > Go Online command enabled or disabled?
    Go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced. Is Include when automatically checking for new mail ON or OFF?
    What’s the time interval chosen in Preferences > General > Check for New Mail?
    Open Window > Activity Viewer and tell Mail to check for mail on this account. What do you see there?
    Does this account allow web access? If you log into your mail account on the web, do the messages appear there?
    Open the Account Info window by choosing Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window. Does Mail display there the messages that it doesn’t download? Do they appear as already downloaded or as not downloaded yet (dot column)?

  • Outlook 2011 for Mac users must click send/receive to get new mail from exchange 2013 server

    I recently switched our primary CAS servers over from a single exchange 2010 cas/mailbox/hub server to a couple new exchange 2013 CAS/Mailbox servers.  Exchange 2013 has cu3, and is hosted on windows server 2012.  Anyone who has their mailbox hosted
    on one of these exchange 2013 servers has an issue where they must click the send/receive button to get new messages downloaded to their client. This is only the case for outlook 2011 for mac client.  Activesync clients, mac mail, OWA, and Outlook 2010/13
    all behave normally.
    Where can I look or what can I check to troubleshoot this issue?

    Hi,
    Any good news from the Mac Forum?
