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.

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?

Mail not getting new mail

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.

Mail not showing new mail count

Very recently, Mail has stopped showing the new mail count next to the corresponding inbox on the bar on the left side of Mail. There are new emails sitting in the indox but it doesn't show a count. I upgraded to Mavericks and it there were no issues but now this is happening. Any ideas why?

Incoming_Mail
IncomingTable_ofContents
Yes, these can also be removed. Tiger Mail no longer uses them. You can confirm this by looking at their modification date. It should be no later than the date you imported your Panther mail into Tiger mail.

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 already

all 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!

E72 yahoo pop mail not synchronising new mails

hi guyz
thanx for yo help i managed to set up my e72 yahoo pop mail. However, it only loaded mails the time i set the pop, after that it never synchronised any new mail. Sending mails and replying is working perfect except loading new mails. Last time i deleted the setup and restarted, but the problem still exists. All settings in the inbox seem to be fine but still new mails wont load!

Have you checked if there is an update for your Email client on the phone? You can check Nokia Suite if there is an available update for your device. If there is none, you can reinstall the software. If you continue to experience the same issue, you can do reformat the device. Make sure that you have a backup file before doing the reset as it will delete all the data on the phone. Check this link for the codes:

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.

Mail not showing new mail

Mail is no longer showing new messages when they arrive. I have to go to Take All Accounts Offline and then Take All Accounts Online, and only then to the messages appear in the inbox. I think this started after upgrading to Mavericks. Does anyone know how this can be resolved?

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Mail not getting new mail without a rebuild

I recently changed to an imap server and its working fine on my iphone 4 but my iMac 27" desktop won't get mail unless I rebuild on the mailbox dropdown. It works everytime but its a pain.
Apologies if someone else has posted this but I can't find it if they have. Any ideas?

Can you email me a screenshot of the setup in Thunderbird. I won't be able to see the Password, but may find what you need to do in Mail. My email address can be found by clicking on my name to the left, and looking in the bio line of the resulting Profile. Does it have a IMAP Path Prefix? What port is it using for the Incoming server?

Mail not fetching new data every 15 with 3g turned off

I had to turn 3g off in order to improve my reception and battery life. It seems to help somewhat, however I notice that the Mail application does not fetch new mail every 15 minutes like its setup to do. It works fine in 3g mode, just doesnt do it while its on edge. (I think it also works ok on wifi.)

Perhaps your in an area with awesome 3g reception but really bad Edge. Weird huh.

Mail - at subdir's not autochecking new mail

When mail program not opened, new mail checked only for main folder (for example Gmail), but for sub folders new mail never auto-checked. Only if I open program and DIRECTLY open this mail sub folder.
For example my folders at Gmail:
inbox
Job
etc.
For Job folder and other folder new mail never checked.
Who to fix that problem?

Actually, I think I discovered that a new To Do can't be created from emails that are specifically addressed to me. Is that true? Why is that?

Mail icon shows new mail but all mail has been read. Won't update with phone reset.

My mail icon shows new mail (1 currently) but I have no new mail. I have synced phone and turned off several times to no avail.

If you have reset your phone several times and does not fix , then restore your phone in itunes from your backup. Be sure that you have a recent backup with all items that you wanted saved, synced.
BEFORE, you do the restore, try deleting the mail account and reaading it and see if that fixes the issue, otherwise , then do the restore.
