Stopped receiving emails in Outlook Express.

Two days ago I suddenly stopped receiving emails in my Outlook Express.
Outlook Express is configured to receive from my old Orange address which has never been a problem. Thinking it might be a problem with my Orange account, I checked with them and they assure me my account is still active. (I regularly log into my Orange account to keep it active.) Everything's been working fine for the past 2 years.
None of my settings have been changed. Outgoing mail is mail.btinternet.com, and incoming mail is pop.orangehome.co.uk.
I have just realised that around the time this happened I got an email in my Hotmail about changing from Hotmail to Outlook. When I opened this it said thank you for switching to Outlook, and then instead of being in Hotmail I was suddenly in Outlook! It didn't even ask me if I wanted to or not. But I noticed there was an option there to switch back to Hotmail which I did immediately.
Of course, I don't know if it was that that stopped my Outlook Express from receiving mail. (I can still send mail from Outlook Express.) But it's the only thing I can think off and it does seem an odd coincidence.
I've tried doing a System Restore back to the day before this happened, thinking there might have been a registry change or something which could be undone, but this didn't help.
I'm now at my wit's end and panicking a bit. I'm a disabled pensioner, living alone, and rely on Outlook Express for all my financial and shopping stuff.
Does anyone have any ideas where I might go from here?
Thanks.

It was Orange's fault. They no longer require the @fs appendage at the end of the account name in Outlook Express account properties.
Wish they'd told me.
Phew!

Mac OS 10.4 Mail takes longer to receive than on Outlook Express 5

I receive email via Outlook Express 5.0.6 within an hour (but hate to use it). It can take Mac OS 10.4.8 Mail up to 24 hrs longer. Mail Preferences are set to: Check for new mail:” Every 30 min.” Under Accounts>Advanced: “Enable This Account” and “Include when automatically when checking for new mail” are both checked. The ISP is Comcast. What is the problem?

We have the same problem. The user rights under Leopard are not interpreted correctly while the Tiger clients show the correct entries. I´ve posted another topic to that thing...

Outlook 2013 stops receiving email

Greetings. I am having difficulty receiving email in Outlook 2013.
When I first start Outlook, it retrieves email without any problem. However, after that initial download, the client will not receive any email. If I exit Outlook, and re-open the application, it will download emails again, but it never updates
again after the initial download.
- Email is Exchange (Office365)
- There are no error messages. Outlook reports it is "Up to Date"
- My phone connects to the same Office365 Email account (via ActiveSync), and receives emails with no problems
- Office365 OWA shows emails as they arrive, with no problems
- Issue only exists in Outlook 2013
- PC is Windows 7 SP1, with all patches
- All Office applications are fully patched
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
It seems that your email can't be received automatically. Please check whether the issue happens in Outlook online mode. If the issue only happens in Outlook cached mode, please
create a new Outlook profile
to check whether the issue persists.

Temporarily stopped receiving emails

I was on leave recently. about 5 days after I left my Microsoft outlook 2007 stopped receiving emails. when I came back, I read and deleted some emails then sent a test email to myself which was delivered without problem.
Before I left I tried to set up out of office reply but failed. is it possible that I may have changed a setting somewhere that could have caused this?
I am on Windows 7 with Office 7.
Regards
D.

Hi
derekwinstone,
Might be your Outlook setting has been changed and you are not able to receive emails. You should check it first. To Check your email configuration follow this:
Tool >>Option>>Mail Setup>>Send Receive, Edit
After clicking on the “Edit” button, a another pop-up window will appear and here you have to choose and enable the
“Receive Mail Items” option.
SMTP Server:
1.) For Non-Encrypted and TLS: 587
2.) For SSL: 465
POP3 Server:
1.) For Non-Encrypted:110
2.) For SSL: 995

8520 has stopped receiving emails

I have spent hours on the phone to vodafone to no avail and hours on google - someone please help!!!. My blackberry curve 8520 stopped receiving emails 5 days ago. I have rebooted, deleted email address and set up again. sent service books, enabled SSL. I am using outlook 2010 and I think the problem could be associated. When I send the service book to my blackberry, I get the message that I must tick the option to leave messages on the serve. This is not an option as it is an IMAP account. Does anyone know what I am talking about and can help..................pleeeeeese!

"When you access an IMAP e-mail account, your messages are copied locally. However, the messages also remain on the e-mail server until you mark them for deletion and use the Purge Deleted Items command." - From Microsoft Support on Outlook 2010.
Just to be sure, in Outlook you can go to Tools > Account Settings. Select the e-mail in question and click "Change". You'll see an option at the bottom of the new window saying "More Options" choose that and then select the "Advanced Tab". At the bottom of that tab, there should be a checkbox to leave the messages on the server and 2 additional options you can configure to suit your needs.
If this doesn't work for you, please do reply back.
Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

Mail won't quite without "force quite" , Mail stops receiving emails after a while, not happy about MAIL's performance!!!! :(

I have massive problems with Mail.
I use mail at work and have 3 accounts running
1. Mac. mail account
2. Gmail mail account
3. Exchange Server
I have quite a few folders in my accounts where I have to archive my emails to.
Often very often or lets say annoyingly too often mail stops working.
- stops receiving emails
- emails I have put away in folders disapear in my inbox again
- if I try to quite Mail it won't I have to force it and then when I open it again all my emails I was working on open again even so I have sent them already.Also all the emails I have folded away are back in my inbox WHAT A WAIST OF TIME!!
I AM VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT MAILS PERFORMANCE AT THE MOMENT! IT SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK!
Does anyone have the same problems and more importantly does anyone has a solution to this problem other then switching to Outlook???
Thank you!
Oliver

I have the "stops receiving mail" problem with Exchange. Sometimes I can open up the Activty window in Mail and stop the stuck processes. Other times I have to close then reopen Mail. I usually do the latter. A fix would be nice.
I wonder if your other problems are related to this. The actual process of relocating your messages is maybe queued up behind one of the stuck processes. Just guessing. I have not had that problem.

My Ipad has stopped receiving emails today. It has IOS7 on it. The settings are correct but says "connection to the server failed" help!

It is the same accout that has been working find for years and just after I updated the software this has happened. My Mac is still receiving and sending via Outlook with the same account and settings. My Iphone 5C has also stopped and I tried deleting the account and adding again (via exchange as it's an exchange accout) the same way I always do and it won't even recognise it to add the settings.
So annoying. Can anyone help?

Moving emails from outlook express to mail

is there a way to get all of my old emails from outlook express to mail? My old PC is about to die and then I'll loose all of my emails :s that is why I am wondering if there is a solution, now.

I don't know whether you can do this on a PC version of Outlook Express or not, but I know that you can do stuff like this with Apple's Mail, so it may be worth a shot to try this and see if it works.
First off, I am assuming that all this old mail is a POP account, and not IMAP. If it were IMAP, it would all be safe on your email account provider's IMAP server and all you would have to do is create the new account in Apple Mail and the first time you connected, it would autosync with the server and all your old mail would just be there. But if POP, all mail is downloaded to your computer then deleted from the server. So, assuming this to be a POP account, here is what I would try to do if I were you.
1. Go to http://webmail.aol.com and sign up for a new free IMAP email account from AOL. You could get a free gmail account if you wanted, too, but I believe there is a bit of extra configuration involved in making it a IMAP and not POP. AOL is IMAP by default. Plus, AOL is a built-in new-account setup option in Apple Mail.
2. On the PC in Outlook Express, add a new account for your new AOL email account. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883081 to find out all the particulars about account settings and how to do it in Outlook Express.
3. On the Mac in Apple Mail, as stated in #1 above, AOL Mail is one of the options when creating a new account. Just follow Mail's "new account wizard" to create your AOL account there.
4. On the Mac, create a second new account for your existing POP account. Mirror the individual mail folder layout that are on your old PC for the old POP account.
5. This is the part that I don't know if PC Outlook Express will let you do, but I know that Apple Mail does:
(a) Open each of your mail folders in the old POP account stored on your dying hard drive one at a time
(b) Highlight/select all the messages in that folder
(c) Drag them to the AOL inbox. In Apple Mail, they would be copied to the IMAP server, preserving all the original "From" and "Date Received" and other information like that.
6. On the Mac, drag the messages that you uploaded into the AOL inbox and drop them into the appropriate folder of the "legacy" POP account that you created in #4. That will clear them out of the AOL inbox and they will now be stored on your computer as downloaded popmails.
7. Go back to step #5 and repeat this process for each of your folders on the old PC until you have emptied all the messages off your old computer.
Now, I will have to issue a disclaimer that I have only done this myself from IMAP to IMAP and to/from IMAP from/to "On My Mac" folders, which keeps copies of messages locally but not on IMAP servers. So I have no reason to suspect that this would not apply equally to POP since it worked with "On My Mac" folders. And whether the PC's Outlook Express will support the POP-to-IMAP drag-and-drop is a total unknown to me.
I'm sure I'll hear back via this forum whether this worked or not, but it's the best idea that I can come up with, and like I said, a similar (but not identical) situation worked for me before.

TB stopped receiving emails after one with huge attachment. Updated TB. Can send but not receive. Using Yahoo POP server. Browser access works fine.

Several days ago, after receiving a 7MB attachment, I stopped receiving email on my Yahoo POP account. Browser access to the Yahoo server works fine. I obviously deleted that message and attachment but curiously, it and only it continued to be downloaded to my inbox!!! I tried downloading a new TB and installing it. Nothing changed except that specific email no longer appeared (another did though, see later). Settings are to leave msgs on server until I delete them. I transferred all my inbox to a local folder and then compacted mail and tried testing reception from another source and nothing appeared on TB, just on browser access. Oddly, one very old message repeatedly appears, I assume as a result of the auto check for new mail but not sure. Though I try to delete this old message, I can't. I haven't removed and recreated account yet because I don't want to lose all the filter history. Scanned for solution and can't find any. Any ideas, please?

Starting your mac in safe mode will disable the Symantec stuff long enough to download mail. Should the issue arise again

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails. I have tried every trick and it's still not working.

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails from the mail app.
I've been looking through the forum for hours and tried every variation of deleting the account, re-adding it, rebooting my iPad etc. I've tried everything! And I still can't receive emails.
My drafts, sent emails and junk emails are all there but my inbox is empty and it's refusing to download the messages.
When I refresh it, "downloading 1 of 250" pops up for a second and then disappears and it just says it's updated yet nothing is there.
Please can someone help. This is incredibly annoying!!!
My mail provider is Yahoo and my wifi is working fine.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, Exchange server 2007 stop receiving emails, then please follow these steps: -
If you do have a 60 GB partition on the C: drive, one of the first signs of trouble is when the free space on C: drops below 2GB. Exchange 2007 stops receiving external
emails. This is caused by a condition known as Back Pressure.
Please check the following: -
Check the nslook up for correct MX record.
Run the exbpa and llok for any recent changes.
Check for the device in perimeter network which accepts connections on port 25 FW or any other anti spam device).
Try to run a telnet session from the firwall and then out side and drop email on the server.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards
