Cannot read .Mac email in Mail.app

In Mail.app, the accounts/folders sidebar shows that my .mac inbox has 8 unread messages. When I click on that account, however, no messages appear in the main window, and the titlebar reads "0 Messages". In fact, the title bar reads 0 messages even while the account still shows 8 unread messages in the sidebar.
I have 6 other accounts (all IMAP) all of which work fine in Mail.app. I can read my .mac email fine via the web interface.

Hello Evan.
Try using the Rebuild Mailbox function on the account's Inbox mailbox.

  • Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

    I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

    It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
    In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
    Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
    Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
    The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

    Cannot receive/send emails via Mail on Mac using 10.6.8, keeps asking for password, very frustrating. Any ideas please? Regards

    One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
    iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
    You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
    Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
    The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud. 
    For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

  • Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ?

    Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ? Any explanation ? Select a good format,that's a good explanation,but i can't know each time if our recipients use "Outlook Express".

    There are no completely bug free email clients including the Mail.app and Outlook has its share of bugs for such an old/mature email clients and some glaring ones that MS has been aware of for a long time but has chosen not to do anything about since these do not affect exchanging email with other Outlook users.
    Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and the degree depending on the Windows and Outlook versions used by the recipient.

  • Thunderbird encrypted the mail inbox and I cannot read any email

    When I open the inbox, all emails are encrypted (with symbols and numbers) and I cannot read any email. How I can recover all the emails or solve the problem?

    Thunderbird does not encrypt anything. What you are seeing is more than likely file corruption.
    Right click the problem folder and select Properties. Then Repair Folder.
    Be prepared to lose messages if the corruption is too bad.
    Read this article about system maintenance to help prevent this in the future.

  • I cannot read S/MIME encrypted Mails on iPhone and iPad

    I have a Certificate for my email address by Comodo. It is installed in Thunderbird on PC and iPhone and iPad with iOS 7.1.2.
    Thunderbird on PC behaves like expected, i can send and read encrypted emails.
    On iPad and iPhone i cannot read encrypted emails.
    I imported my S/MIME Certificate via email attachment (p.12-File) and activated it in the mail section for my account. I also enabled signature and encryption function.
    1. When i receive an email that is signed but not encrypted, the certificate of the sender is trusted & installed.
    2. When i receive an email that is encrypted, the same sender is now shown in red color. I cannot read the email, because my profile allegedly does not contain my identitiy.
    3. When i try to reply to the signed but not encrypted email (1.) then the message i send is signed but not encrypted, even though the address is shown in blue with a lock (which text info: encryption is possible).
    4. When I send an encrypted email to my own account via ipad or iphone, i can read it on both ipad and iphone. This makes me think that the iOS Mail App uses S/MIME encryption a little bit different then Thunderbird.
    All of this does not fit together. It think I correctly installed my certificate but there are problems in the Mail Program on iOS.

    Solved: the problem was that the emails were encrypted with an old public key.

  • A problem to sync emails in Mail app between iMac and Macbook Air

    Hello members,
    I have had a problem that can't sync emails in Mail app(OSX Mavericks) betwee iMac and Macbook Air. I have iCloud mail account and several Gmail accounts on the mail app.
    Is there anyone to help me?

    When both are at home on the same network and sharing drives, you can use a variety of tools.  Check the App store for fily syncronization.  Also, OS X includes rsync if you are a UNIX command line person, and there are shareware GUI's for rsync as well (RsyncX was one I remember).  Then there are commercial tools like Chronosync.
    Another, albeit to my mind cumbersome way, is to use an airport time capsule and time machine.  You use TM to backup each machine, and use the option in TM to browse another TM backup to restore from (eg. come home from a trip, backup the MacBook Air, then log on to the iMac, browse to the MBA backup volume and restore what you recently worked on from there).
    Or get a NAS device for home and use that as a common personal form of dropbox.  The key would be keeping a neat uniform directory structure for the things you need sync'd - like maybe just the Documents folder & subfolders.

  • HT5361 Is there a way to find and erase duplicate emails in mail.app?

    Is there a way to find and erase duplicate emails in mail.app?

    Mail.app does not have this possiblility acc. to Apple. There are Scripts but not provided by Apple.
    A solution can be to use third party software but I prefer Apples own software so have to wait until there is an update.

  • Mac OS X mail app stops working repeatedly

    It seems to me that my mac os x mail.app is having some major issues with MobileMe/iCloud. To give a little bit of background issue, this is currently my only computer that is online/synced with iCloud. It was purchaced after I switched to iCloud, and it has only ever run Lion(never upgraded from a previous OS). When I set up my mail accounts, everything worked great. I have my icloud, gmail, and school email all present. After a few days, however, I noticed an exclamation point next to icloud, and that my inbox stopped updating. It turns out, the account magically became "offline." Turning it online worked again, but now it has happened for a 3rd time, and there is no option to turn it online. I have tried removing and recreating the account in mail.app, and it works for a day, but then this repeats. And I know for sure it is not the server settings(which are chosen automatically, by the way), because my android phone has worked flawlessly for several months with my mobileme/icloud account; even when I converted to icloud, I didn't have to change anything there.
    This mail.app is getting quite annoying, especially because there is no error when I go to send an email, but the email never goes through, and on top of that, the email I typed does not appear anywhere in mail.app, or any of my icloud mail folders.
    Has anybody run into the same problem?

    Try this:
    http://www.macstories.net/news/configure-an-icloud-email-account-on-snow-leopard /
    I'm kinda in the same boat...my iPhone 4s (that is through my work) and my home iMac, iPad are running the latest OS so not an issue...however my MacBook for work (which also has my iTunes library on it) is still running Snow Leopard.
    The fix about did the trick...and it's still loading them all, but it looks like it's bringing in all my stored emails that i'd been using since I created my .Mac account years and years ago.
    Hope it helps!

    I never had that problem with POP mail before. The message may still be the serrver for you to dwonload. A this point I'd recommend you contact AppleCare, if you don't have the contact information you can find it at:

  • Cannot send emails from Mail App

    I cannot seem to send any mail from my desktop mail app for some reason (it USED to work!!).

    Up until today my MAIL app in my iMac let me use an email address that is from the AOL.com group (netscape.net)…I cannot send emails now because I can't get the computer to connect to the server. My iPad will….but not the desktop. I tried using a different server name; smtp.nestcape.net, which is the one I used in the iPad…but the iMac won't let me change it to that one..so back to the old smtp.aol.com……Still my MAIL app is not recognizing this or letting me connect!?!. I tried creating a new password at the wedpage of that email account.. successfully..but it has made no difference. I am stumped and have wasted half the day trying to deal with this. Anyone else have such an experience? HELP…PLEASE!

    Thank you Eric for sending the links. Fortunately after I wrote this post…I don't know what happened but I filled in my mail preference settings for the umteenth time with my new email password and voila! It worked. For some reason however…now when I open the Mail App I do still get a prompt asking me if I want to use this server….and it is, of course, the one and only I have listed.!?!?! The thing that irritates me…is…that I had done NOTHING to cause a problem to begin with. I think my email account at aol (nestcape) may have been hacked and my password stolen or compromised in some way??...and perhaps that caused a glitch in my mail app??? I am no techy, but I should have started out with my intuition and changed the password first before going mental….When something like this happens it makes one feel so vulnerable.…I usually feel well secured with my lone iMac and now my new iPad…ANYWAY…thank tyou  for addressing my issue and I have bookmarked those links…for future reference which I hope I never need. Hey..is that your kitty??? She is beeeooootiful!
    Take care and again, thanx~ D

  • Mail Security certificate issue and cannot send email from mail app on surface 2

    well im have the same issue like others and coincidently we all started to have this issue just recently like few days ago. Please help us out as on the surface 2 mail app my Hotmail account ( The main account )
    cannot send mails and on the account setting it says there is a problem with the server security certificate. So how to fix it ???

    Does this issue only happen with Hotmail account? Have you tested the account in other mail programs or send a email via web mail in a browser? What is the result if we delete the account then recreate the account?
    Please also refer to solutions in this link:
