Mail wont load new mail

My Mail program will no bring in new messages! I can check the messages online at Mac.com but not in the actual program. I have already tried deleting the preferences and defining the accounts again, and it only loads the same old messages. I've also tried the traditional rebooting to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Could it be that Mail is in an "offline" state? Is
the Mailbox > Go Online command enabled or
disabled?
I have two .Mac accounts. Both Mailboxes are online.
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced. Is
Include when automatically checking for new
mail checked or unchecked?
It is checked for both my mailboxes.
Open Window > Connection Doctor. What does it
say?
For one .Mac account (the one I dont really use) t it says "Connection & login to server suceeded"
For the other .Mac account it says "Cannot connect to this .Mac server. Check your network connection and that you entered in the correct information in Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not uncheck that box."
Was this account set up as type .Mac in Mail, or was
it set up as POP? If .Mac, try rebuilding the the
mailbox, i.e. select it and do Mailbox >
Rebuild.
I tried rebuilding both of them and now I dont have my old emails either. Just an empty Inbox.

  • 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:

  • where can I download new mail sound when new mail comes in?

    where can I download new mail sound when new mail comes in?
    Thank you,
    BigBlaze

    Go to Mail Preferences, use the drop-down "new mail sounds". The very last option is ADD/REMOVE. You can choose a sound that will be copied to your own User Library.
    To find how many sounds you already have on the computer (TONS if you have any games) just to a search the computer for aiff or aif. Copy the file you like to the desktop so you can find it easily, and add it using the above instructions.
    The sound gets copied to your library, so you can delete the desktop file when you're done.

  • 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.

  • IPhone 6 not loading new mail for one but not second email account since Monday

    I acquired my iPhone 6 about a month ago and had no problem working and connected to my Yahoo! and Gmail email accounts. However, since Monday, no new mail is loading for my Yahoo! account. It had been working up until then. My Gmail account is totally fine.
    I tried fiddling with the setting, deleting my Yahoo! account and re-adding it, and checking the password. Nothing has worked so far.

    This is a known issue with the Yahoo email account, which is notoriously bad.
    You've done most of the troubleshooting for it - suggest you try using the Yahoo email app.

  • Mail wont load following OS6 update

    My phone just completed the OS6 update.  Now none of my mail will load.  When I tap on the mail icon, i get a few messages (from yesterday) and it says ""Checking for mail"..then crashes.  That is it.  Have tried removing mail from settings, then reinstalling - no change.  Did a hard reset (start and home button) - no change.  Any other thoughts?  I am thinking I will NOT update my iPhone 4s (second phone), iPad or iTouch until these issues are worked out...

    meant to add - this is for all my emails (yahoo, gmail, exchange) - is the "mail" application that is the problem, I think.

  • OSX 10.5.8 Mail stop displaying new mail on 24/5/2012

    Hi All,
    I've got 2 gmail account in my mac mail. One of them stopped display new mail on 24/5/2012. The last mail that I've got is 23:45pm 23/5/2012. When I try to get new mail for that mail box, the mail ativity shows they are loading 43 incoming messages. However, once the loading is done, nothing shows up.
    As I said i've got 2 gmail accounts in the mail and the other account is working fine.
    Any ideas?
    Thx in advnace

    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • Having been without my Mac for a month I've been using iCloud mail. The new mail boxes that I set up there do not automatically show up in Mail on my replacement Mac. Is there any way to transfer them from ICloud mail to Mail?

    Having been without my Mac for a month I've been using iCloud mail.on a PC. The new mail boxes that I set up there do not automatically show up in Mail on my replacement Mac. Is there any way to transfer them from ICloud mail to Mail? Thanks.

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
    Peace, Clyde

    like it says itunes wont add/load new movies i have to the libary

    Are they in the right format?
    Right click a video and go to convert selection for iPod. Does it convert?
    Or, are the videos not going into iTunes? For videos to be imported, they have to be in a quicktime-compatible format. Right click a video and go to properties. What is the file type?

  • Mail expunge error and old mail switching to new mail status

    Everything started when I set to enabled in mail-general-when searching mail boxes: include encrypted pages.
    I was looking for a way to seach in the content of the message for the mails.
    Then the first error appeared: the mails when I read those mails returned by themselves to the state of unread.
    Then I disabled again the optin: mail-general-when searching mail boxes: include encrypted pages,
    but the error continued. and all my mails (more than 1200) were set automatically to the "new" mail status each time that I started the mail program.
    Now I created a mailbox named "old" when I move the new messages that I have read to that file.
    But now the mail program uses the memory constantly.
    with out the mail, the computer memory is near 5%, but when I start the mail program and use it constantly, the memory goes to 100% until I receive the mail expunge error.
    The machine has 4Ghz ram, and the mail program uses all until I got the error, I am using a G5, dual cpu, 2ghz, mac osx server. There are no other programs using the memory.
    1)how can I configure the mail to avoid the expunge error?
    2)how I can configure the mail to keep the mails that I just read to an old state (avoiding those to restart their state to "new")?
    3)it is possible to do searchs in all the content of the messages?
    thanks
    Alberto

    You’re welcome.
    Well, not knowing what the problem really is, and since it apparently started to happen after you changed some settings, I’d try setting up Mail again from scratch and import your mail back afterwards.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk, try this:
    1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
    2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/. Move (not copy) the entire Mail folder out of there, to the Desktop.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop.
    5. Open Mail and set it up again from scratch. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and check that everything works fine.
    6. You’ll have to re-configure all your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    7. If Mail works fine now and you had any messages stored in local mailboxes, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import your mail from the old Mail folder that’s now on the Desktop. Import the Mailboxes folder first, then each of the POP-username@mailserver account folders, if any.
    8. If .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
    As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • 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?
