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 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?

  • Apple mail never gets new mail

    My apple mail will never get new mail automatically, it is set to check new messages every 5 minutes. If i open the application, it will then get my new mail but never without me opening the app. Am i doing something wrong?

    Hi mahepecha.
    It's a known problem. Whether it's a bug in Mail or not, I don't known. Here are two threads where this has already been discussed (they refer to each other in some of the posts):

  • AOL Mail will not get new mail???

    Hello Everyone,
    I am setting up an AOL account on my mothers new Imac. I am trying to get AOL mail into Apple mail.
    Unfortunately, I cannot get it to get any new messages. I also get the following alert in apple mail:
    The following alerts are from the IMAP server for “<screenename>”:
    Can't read attachment for message 21795
    (sometimes the number of the attachment will change...)
    I used the AOL service assistant to set up the AOL mail account. I have deleted and re-added the account. I am at a loss. I found this question asked in the archives several times, but the answers all said to use the service assistant, which I have done, and it doesnt solve the problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    I am experiencing the exact issue with my AOL account.  The error randomly states "it can not open attachment on message XXX".  I'm using Safari with AOL mail on a MacBook Pro with MacOSX 10.6.7.   Did you ever get a response or solution to your problem?  Appreciate any insight.  Thanks!

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • Mail not getting new email

    I have had trouble getting Mail to go and get my new email. I believe that it is a problem with Mail, because I was able to check my mail online through my schools webmail address, and I also created an account on Entourage, and it worked there too. Here is the error message when I try to check my email:
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "Steve's ASU Email" or try again.
    The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "imap1.asu.edu" on port 993 timed out.
    Please let me know if you know how to fix this, thanks!!!

    Does your school's email account support and require using SSL for the incoming mail server?
    Port 993 indicates use SSL for the incoming mail server is selected.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, deselect use SSL and the port should change to 143 for the incoming mail server if the account is an IMAP type account.
    Test if this resolves the problem.

  • Mail not receiving new mail

    can anyone help im not recieving any new emails but i can send emails ...... i tryed to uninstall the email address that didnt help..... i tryed the doctor connection test it said that im connected??/??????
    pls can anyone help

    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 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Long delay getting new mail

    I am experiencing a long delay in Mail getting new mail. Here's what happens:
    1. on launching Mail, it gets new mail immediately, so I know my account settings are good.
    2. once Mail is running, there is a long delay in updating new incoming mail -- can be hours. I have Mail set to check every five minutes. Also, I can manually click on Get Mail and I get a No New Mail beep even when there is new mail (see next point).
    3. If I use webmail to access my account, I can see new mail sitting in my In Box.
    4. if I quit and relaunch Mail, the new mail shows up.
    I have an IMAP account which has worked well for years. This delayed behaviour started a few months ago when I was running Leopard. I posted a question but never got an answer that worked. Now I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.4, and hoped Mail would correct itself with the upgrade. It didn't.
    I was once advised that it might have something to do with the Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" setting. However, this preference is ticked and greyed out so I can't change it. (The advice was to turn it on or off and see if that was a fix).
    I am running on an iMac 24" Core 2 duo (early 2008 model). After the Snow Leopard upgrade I repaired permissions and ran all the chron scripts. So my system should be pretty good.
    I would be grateful for any help. I have clients call and say "I just sent you an email..." and I appear dumb because I have to go to webmail to get it right away.

    It's getting better. I used Other to setup my mail acc via MfE, by tricking it to a non uniform mail. That worked, I changed it back to googlemail and guess what?! Next time I boot the phone, the MfE is gone. but it still registers in the background so I can't create a new one. Configuration Tool 6.3 does see it but cannot overwrite it. PixiEnables package and its font nonsens severly screw with PopUpClock, Screensaver and SleepingScreen memory boundaries so those three crash. Thanks for nothing MS apps -.-
