Can't receive email from Mail 3.4 and I can't get rid of a draft email

OK, two problems here...
1 The most frustrating is that I can't receive mail from Mail 3.4. I can send and my wife's email account is working fine. I've got a green light from the "Mail Connection Doctor" and I haven't changed any settings that I know of. I've been accessing my mail thru me.com now, it's working OK but not like "Mail".
and
2 I have this piece of email that I sent...the guy received it...and it keeps showing up in my "Drafts" mailbox. I delete it, then it comes back, sometimes multiple copies! I've been getting an error message....
"Some actions taken while the account “Joe's Email” was offline could not be completed online."
"Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox “On My Mac” in “On My Mac” so that you can complete the actions while online.
Additional information: The connection to the server “mail.mac.com” on port 143 timed out."
Now my airport connection has been on and off with this machine (my old powerbook has been rock solid on the same network) so the "timed out" portion is probably true...but why can't I just get ride of this email message?
Thanks for the help

I think I've got it fixed....I "reset" my mail program, I deleted my mailbox then re-created it and I'm all set for now.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Updatetask.exe is repeatedly blocked by my virus checker. Forums say it can be malicious. How do I know, and how do I get rid of it?

    I use Firefox on Windows 7. Several times an hour and sometimes when I click a link or do something else when browsing I get a dialog box that says updatetask.exe has been blocked. Forums say this can be a Firefox automatic update executable, but that it can carry malicious baggage.
    This file or name does not appear in the Control Panel add/remove programs list, so I can't uninstall it. I don't know if it's safe to just search for and delete the file. So, how do I know if it's authenticaly yours or safe, and how do I get rid of it? The virus checker is F-Secure.

    AFAIK. updatetask.exe is a malicious file and it is associated with the Ask.com toolbar. But I'm unsure as it is very tricky, because UpdateTask.exe has 29 different versions, varying from illegal to malignant.
    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br>
    Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br>
    All these programs have free versions.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

    Swipe up on the preview of the Yahoo Mail app to force quit it
    Hold down on both the Home AND Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo on black screen (about 10 seconds).

  • I can't use Markup for Mail in Yosemite and I can't see the extension of it.

    I tried to use the Markup feature and I can't, also I tried to enable the extension of it but it doesn't appear.

    Thanks- I know that it's for attachments.  Doesn't work on my machine.  Not interested in re-installing.  If anyone else has a fix, I'd be interested, otherwise, I guess I'll just wait for an update.

  • TS3899 I was deleting my emails when all of a sudden it started loading emails that had been put in trash and then deleted. I'm up to 1364. How do I get this to stop and how do I get rid of all these emails?

    I was deleting emails on my iPad to trash , when 1364 past emails which had been sent to trash and was deleted was back in my inbox. I can't get this to stop. When I try to delete some emails it just adds more. Could someone tell me what has happened and how do I fix this problem?

    "Other" represents data that iTunes can't recognize.  A few hundred mb of other is normal.  The 6.9 gb you have represents corrupted data (maybe from an interrupted sync or some other glitch).
    Sometimes, syncing one more song can clear up the extra other.  If not, you'll need to restore your iPod.  Here are the instructions:  Restore:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    You can restore from your iPod backup when asked.

  • Have a 5S w/ Sprint, can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones!

    Ported a # as of 10/2 from Tmobile to the iphone 5s I received from Sprint.
    Since then I can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones! They
    can see my texts. Googling this, it seems like there's been issues
    like this for other people. Can anyone advise as this is very bad!

    SMS and MMS are carrier features. There is nothing you can do on your phone to fix this. It's either a problem with Sprint, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You've reported the problem to Sprint, that's all you can do. About the only other thing that could be done would be to have somone you know on Verizon who can't send messages to you open a ticket with Verizon.

  • Upgraded to Mountain Lion a week ago suddenly unable to receive incoming emails from Mail.6

    Upgraded to Mountain Lion a week ago.  Suddenly unable to receive incoming emails from Mail.6
    Can successfully send outgoing messages. 
    Have completed following tasks to no avail:
    1)          When click on "Take all accounts online" and entering password for gmail / looking at Mail Connection Doctor: Got Green light, Mail was able to connect to the Internet. But…
    "Trying to log in to this Goggle Imap account failed.  Verify username and password are correct."
    I have verified username and password being correct. 
    2)          System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars typed in name, email address & gmail password and got this message.
    "Unable to verify account name and password."
    3)          Mail> preferences>account>password.  Confirmed correct password, name, email address and imap "address" Then to Advanced & confirmed correct port . Restarted computer.
    "lay person terms" appreciated. 
    Thanks!

    Found solution, Yeay!   No coincidence.  Mountain Lion (osx 10.8, upgraded) is not compatible with Gmail if one has 2-step verification set up on their gmail security settings. 
    There are 2 options to solving problem
    1)   https://discussions.apple.com/message/19109209#19109209) 
    This will take you through the process to disable 2-step security feature on gmail security page. Thank You  iPatA.
    2)   http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=ch_b/0/SmsAuthConfig& answer=185833
    This will take you through the process of assigning an "application specific password" to upgraded Mail 6.0 for successful communication between Mail 6.0 Mountain Lion while keeping a 2 step verification process if you prefer. 
    Thanks for you energy & effort rkaufmann87.
    Sincerely, much appreciated. 
    I love this Apple community.

  • I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

    I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

    That's probably because the message is in HTML format. Send the reply as plain text.

    I had the same problem, and it was solved by going to the Mailbox menu and selecting "rebuild."
