Mac Mail Not Receiving New Mail from Exchange
Hey everyone, in the last few days, I've noticed that my Mac Mail isn't downloading new messages from my company's exchange server.
I can log into the web-based exchange server and see new messages sitting there, unread. If I quit Mail and re-open it, it fixes the problem, but taking all of the accounts offline and bringing them back online does not fix the problem.
Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it? I'm thinking some cache might be full or something.
Thanks in advance
Same problems here. Glad I'm not the only one.
After looking at the Activity window, this is what it displays:
http://screencast.com/t/NWU4N2Q5M
The Connection Doctor just says that all accounts were able to log in successfully, so no help there.
After clicking on the Stop Sign icon beside the stuff in the activity window (which effectively "stops" that task it's beside), I can then right click and "synchronize" my Exchange account and it receives all messages immediately, including the inbox. It's a work around, but I'm not sure that just command+Q and reopen wouldn't be easier.
It appears that a receive action just freezes up, which is why a resync before you kill the first sync doesn't fix it and a quit+restart does. As a side note, I can send messages through Exchange just fine when this receive lockup occurs.
Apple, please look into this...you have a better mail client than M$, but at least theirs stays connected.

Mac E-Mail Not Receiving Incoming Mail From ATT/Yahoo Mail Server
Recently "upgraded" to ATT U-verse. My Mac email client (3.6) suddenly not receiving incoming mail from the web-based ATT/Yahoo. Settings-all are correct: Telephone talk with Tier 1 and Tier 2 ATT reps confirmed "unusual" problem, and that the settings (ports, ssl, etc.) are indeed all correct. Tier 2 supervisor referred ticket (F23576784) to the brilliant minds at Yahoo for help. I've heard nothing for five days. Some emails do get received on my client, from (Apple, ATT, for example). Others languish on the web-based mail, with no push to my iMac. Tests of sending myself e-mails continue to confirm problem, with test emails sitting at Yahoo server, no push to my Mac client.
I am able to send e-mails successfully from client. Interestingly, a couple of incoming e-mails from friends did manage to slip through the lines and arrive in my Mac client a couple of days late. Brave little souls, they're not talking.
I've tried all sockets, all other settings possible, but no luck. Why is there no straight-forward answer to this proliferating problem? Odd e-mail behaviors? No documented or shared answers by the big outfits to Mac users? Mac mail virtually disabled and useless? Has anyone found a path to resolving the varied but similar problems in this area yet? Thanks in advance for any help offered beyond adjusting preferences over and over and over. That ain't working.
StuieeGeez, some emails are getting through, most are not forwarded to my client MacMail. They are also marked as read, which could mean that Yahoo is forwarding them somewhere...(?) Can't get ahold of Yahoo, ATT forwards me to Yahoo, Yahoo has no method of emailing real, technical questions, ATT supervisor actually called Apple and there is nothing wrong with the OS or my set up requirements.
Does anyone know a workaround for setting up smtp requirements? Can't switch email clients at this time, would take a lot of changing existing contact info for bizz.
At this point all I would like to know is, where is the problem? Why does a server (ATT/Yahoo) send some mail to my account, not send others, and marks all messages on the webmail as read? Thanks for the one response, I do believe the problem is some minor error set at the isp's server software for Macs, but who knows? -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Mail.app not retrieving new messages from Exchange Server
I used to use mail.app for my work email account, set up as Exchange IMAP. After upgrading to SL, I wanted to take advantage of the new exchange features, and set up an exchange account.
But now, multiple times a day, the new exchange account will just sit there, trying to fetch new mail (the spinning wheel thing in the left side menu bar). I've gone hours w/o noticing the problem, only realizing this when I check my iPhone and see dozens of new messages. Restarting fixes the problem.
Anyone else having this issue?michellzappa,
All of my e-mail providers have some sort of web based access for my accounts. They identify, segregate and prevent any message marked as bounce from being downloaded to my inbox. Is this what you are describing as redundant?
Mail Scripts 2.7.10 by Andreas Amann, provides an excellent compilation of mail scripts.
I would advise that you create a new post with the title. "Can I write an applescript to automatically clean out messages on server every hour?" in the AppleScript Forum.

Mail not receiving new email messages.
The Mail application on my 2006 MacBook has stopped retrieving new messages. The Mac is running 10.5.8, and the Mail is version 3.6. I have not made any changes to the mail preferences in years. I have two email accounts configured: my Gmail as well as my university email account. Comcast is my internet provider. About a week ago, the incoming email was slow to update. I would click "Get Mail", and it would pull in only 4-5 emails at a time. I would re-click "Get Mail" several times until all the new mail was retrieved. But for the past 4 days, no new mail is coming in. When I click on "Get Mail", the wheel next to both accounts spin like they are working, but nothing happens. There is no error message given (such as "no internet connection"). I have tried the mailbox "rebuild" on both accounts several times, as well as rebooting the computer. (When in doubt, reboot!).
The outgoing emails I send from Mail are being received by the recipients, so I know the connection is working in that direction! The Comcast internet is working, and I can log in to my Gmail account through the web and view my emails there just fine. I'm also receiving the new emails on my iPod Touch. So, I know there are new emails, but they are not coming to my MacBook.
Any ideas?Thanks for the suggestions, BDAqua. Unfortunately, the new mail is still not coming in. I am still able to send mail out through Mail (I did another "test" mail to myself, then checked it on Gmail.com).
A couple of comments & questions (to make sure I was doing things correctly):
The "Connection Doctor" had all green dots. So, that all looks OK.
What do I do with the Mail folder and Envelope Index file that I had moved to my desktop during the Safe Boot? Right now, they are just still sitting on my desktop while in normal start-up mode.
When you said "redo to Rules", I moved the two files you mentioned into the trash. Is this what I was supposed to do? Should I "empty trash" to make sure they are gone?
After I ran through your suggestions once, I did the "safe boot" again and re-ran the Disk Utility "Repair Permissions". Of the things it found, none seem to be Mail related. But, just for kicks, I'll paste the results log below.
Any other ideas? I am able to get my mail through Gmail.com, so it's not the end of the world if I never get this fixed. Just annoying!

Since installing the latest update my Mail won't receive any new emails from my business account run through gmail.
[email protected]
Receiving fine on iPhone and through Thunderbird.
Is anyone else having issues with Mail?
RegardsI am having the same problems. I am not receiving email to one of the six addresses I have in Mail. Ever since I updated to Mavericks, I've had problems with Apple Mail. I checked the activity and conneciton doctor, everything is green and connection is fine, but no email. I only receive the message if I quit mail and restart.
I've been using apple for 10 years, and in the last year or so noticed they are going the way of windows in that there programs don't "just work" anymore. There are more and more issues creeping up with each new update. -
Mail not receiving incoming mail from gmail account
I have an imac with 10.5 that has suddenly stopped accepting email in one of my gmail accounts, but still gets it from another. I synched my imac with my ibook earlier today. The ibook has the same problem accepts mail from the account that the imac doesn't etc.
Any help solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
dcHi,
Did you select “Directory Management Service” option, if so, please make sure you configure the Central Administration application pool identity account to have the Create, delete, and manage user accounts right to the container that you specify in Active Directory.
Did you install Exchange server 2003 in your MOSS environment? If so, you should add an SMTP connector in Exchange Server, if you don’t know how to do that, you can post your issue into the following forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdeploy/threads
Also, please check whether your configuration meet the following requirements, If not, correct them and check the effect.
· The application pool account for Central Administration, the logon account for the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service, and the application pool accounts for your Web applications should have the correct permissions to the e-mail drop folder.
· The domain controller running Active Directory has a Mail Exchanger (MX) entry in DNS Manager for the mail server that you plan to use for incoming e-mail.
For more information about how to configure incoming e-mail settings, please refer to the following article:

TS3276 Mail not receiving new messages
I just purchased my MacBook Air 13 in last week. Love it, but I am having a problem with Mail. I use Google mail for my work, and it sends fine. It also comes through fine some of the time, but after a time, it stops receiving new messages. I notice, as I continue to get them on my phone. Once I 'exit mail' and then reopen, they all suddenly come through.
Any idea what I can do to fix this?Same issue. Not found a fix other than restarting mail.

Apple Mail stop fetching new emails from Exchange account.
Hello everybody,
For the second time my Mail App stop fetching emails from my company Exchange account. I did not change anything! Activity and connection windows telling me that everything is OK! But no mails arrives and I'm no able to send them. My two other accounts works fine (Gmail and iCloud). Situation is strange because Outlook (which I hate anyway) works also fine with Exchange accout.
Any ideas?
PS.
Sorry for my English. It is not perfect :-)

Mac mail not refreshing new mail
Hey
Is anyone else having problems with mail not updating when new ones arrive? I have to hit "get mail" even though I have the preferences set to check for new mail every 5mins. I am running mail 2.1.1.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks!Hi G Money.
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced. Is Include when automatically checking for new mail ON or OFF?
BTW, please put the right information in the Computer Model and Operating System fields on your My Settings’s profile (and click Save), so that this essential information automatically appears in all your posts — you cannot be running Mac OS X 10.4.1 if the version of Mail is 2.1.1. -

I have had my work account setup through Mail for almost 2 years without a problem. Today it stopped retrieving new emails. I went to Window...Connection Doctor and Connection Status is green and both for incoming and outgoing it shows green. I can send emails fine, but it won't retrieve new emails that I have received. I also get emails to this account through my phone and it is getting new incoming emails.
I have tried closing the app and restarting, doesn't work.
I have tried restarting the OS, doesn't work.
I haven't changed any settings in the past day, so its not a settings issue. That is unless Mail is now changing settings on its own.
What else can I do to solve this?It does show in the bottom left that its connecting "Incoming messages..." and when it tries, it makes a tiny beep. Its not the "new email" sound, just a quiet, short beep. No idea what the sound means.

SecUpd2006-002, mail not showing new mails in dock anymore
hello folks,
i am not sure if the following problem is linked to the SecUpd2006-002 i just installed, but this just occured afterwards:
mail is not showing the arrival of new emails in the dock anymore!
ya know, that little red dot with the numbers of new mails in it.
(is there a button or something to toggle this on and off anyway?)
in mail itself they are still marked as new (bold letters) but in the dock nothing happens.
anyone else having this problem? found out a solution already?
thank you for your thoughts.
p.s.: have repaired permissions alreadyall right, found the solution by myself:
was kind of a font problem.
got a helvetica font from a customer. installation seems to have overwritten/removed the "normal" helvetica font installed by the system.
so mail went nuts. noticed - besides the above mentioned problem - that the headers of the mails seemed to be a little weird: mail-adresses bigger sizes (or different font) than the other infos.
so, if you ever run into something similar like this: clean up your fonts ;o)
glad it's over, have a good one! -
Mail not showing new mail until I switch out of and back into INBOX
When new mail is downloaded, the messages do not appear in the INBOX until I have moved to (clicked on) another mailbox and then moved back to INBOX. The unread message count reflects the correct number of unread messages until the above procedure has been followed. Similarly, when messages are moved to another mailbox, the messages sometimes do not leave the INBOX list until the same procedure is followed. This is a relatively recent problem (last couple of months, I think). Any ideas?
