After installing Lion mail does not receive emails

I have just installed Lion and Mail is not longer receiving mails. These are arriving on my Blackberry and iPad. How do I resolve this problem?

You most likely need to open Mail>click on the word "Mail" in the Menu bar> click on "Preferences">click on "Accounts">now enter the correct information from your ISP for the Incoming AND outgoing Mail Servers, that your ISP provides you with>also enter your user name, email address and password for your ISP email account.
Hope this helps

After Installing Lion, Ical does not work. I cannot print, I cannot add an event, etc. How do I reinstall?

Since installing Lion OS, iCal does not work. I cannot add an event, print calendar, etc. How do i reinstall?

You can use Lion Recovery
Before you do that, go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.iCal.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
See if you can print or add an event now.

After installing ios6 I am not receiving mail

After installing ios6 I am not receiving mail. I can send, but not receive. Am I required to activate iCloud for mail or is there some other problem? I have checked settings and they are unchanged and correct.

I found the big red "delete account". (Sometimes things are just too obvious.)
I deleted and re-entered. When I hit next I get the error message that the "username and password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect." What is imap?
My gmail account is working fine when I go to it directly. Does the fact that I receive a text with a verification code the first time I log on from a new computer have anything to do with this problem?

One Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from .mac

OK, this is an odd problem, and any help would be appreciated.
My girlfriend's Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from my .mac address. If I send email from my Gmail or Yahoo! accounts she receives the message. No one else has informed me that they haven't received email from the .mac address. Additionally, the .mac account is in her address book.
Anyway, has anyone seen a similar pattern with Yahoo! or any other email provider?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply . . . and yes, the recipient's email provider likely holds the answer.
However, I was hoping someone here might have had a similar experience and could answer as the email provider is Yahoo, and they are slow in responding to help requests . . . for a period I hosted a personal, paid website through Yahoo Domains and help tickets lingered for several days on multiple occasions (this being the reason the site is no longer hosted by Yahoo). I also doubt Yahoo will expend too much energy resolving a problem for a free email account.
Anyway, I posted in the Yahoo mail forums, and hopefully something will come-up . . . .

Os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment

os x lion mail does not save icloud sent email with attachment... are there people who experience the same problem? i was with Apple Support via chat and he could not resolve the problem. I was given a phone number to call, i assume it's tech support for OS X or Mail but I did not have time to be on the phone for a long time... thank you

I finally fixed it! I verified and repaired disk permissions on my Mac... how come the Apple Tech Guy didn't know that???!!!! Shocking

Mail does not send email

My problem is simply that Mail does not send email.
I have just migrated from iMac G5 to iMac Intel by using Migration Assistant. Everything else works just fine and I can receive email. However, if I try to reply, forward or send a new email message, Mail just does not do anything - no error message, nothing.
The fixes I have tried so far are removing the Mail plist file, repairing disk permissions and mailboxes. Of course, I have checked the account settings, especially outgoing server settings. I also reinstalled Mail application with Pacifist. None of this has solved the problem. I have tried sending email with Thunderbird and it works with no problems.
Does anybody have any suggestions how to fix this issue?
The OS is 10.4.8, Mail Version 2.0.6 (749.2/752.3), all the suggested software updates done.
iMac Core Duo 20" 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Reinstalling Mail is rarely necessary or appropriate to solve a problem. It certainly cannot fix anything that could be wrong within your home folder or at the server or with the network, and may even introduce new issues if not done properly. Moreover, in Mac OS X 10.4 you don’t need Pacifist to reinstall Mail, you could also do it as described in the following article:
Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
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 filesystem issues, if any, if the version of the system software on your install disks is earlier than what you’re using now (and only in that case), then you must also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, to bring Mail back in sync with the rest of the system:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
The above won’t solve the problem. It’s just to ensure that you’ve properly reinstalled Mail, which you shouldn’t have done, and which apparently you didn’t do properly -- the version of Mail on your system should be 2.1.1, not 2.0.6.
The original problem could be caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.

Windows live does not receive emails

Windows Live works fine on my family computer.
Windows Live does not receive emails from my btinternet account on my laptop any more (it sends ok I think)
This happened in March. After talking to someone in India the other day who suggested that my laptop did not have enough RAM (not so), I eventually managed to uninstall WLive, reinstalled, then used the automatic set up on BT and called the account a new name. IT WORKED...all my emails turned up on Windows Live. Then it STOPPED WORKING again.
I honestly cannot fathom this. Any ideas????
(I have just tried using the automatic set up again, using the same account name, but it just says that the account already exists).
Errors are in essence:
0x800CCC90
ERR inactivity timeout
WLive error 0x800420CD
WLive mail error 0x800CCC0F
I got the automatic tester to test email account, but no fault found.
All suggestions gratefully received. I had no luck last time I tried on this Forum, but giving it another go.

Hi.
I personally never let the "system" set up email automatically, it doesn't always get the servers or ports correct.
However, what you could try is to login to webmail in case there is a stuck/corrupt email in the Inbox. You can move them to a temporary online folder and retry Windows Mail. If that works, you can try moving one email at a time into the webmail Inbox.
Do you keep all the emails on the server by the way ?

When I had my old blackberry connected to my computer, all incoming emails were routed to my outlook so I did not get mails on my blackberry. How do I get it so my iphone4 does not receive emails when connected to my computer?

I am getting my iphone inbox bombarded so would like it to not receive emails when connected to my computer. My old blackberry had an app that took care of this which worked really well. Am wondering if I can do the same with my iphone4.

Blackberries were/are able to do that with some types of e-mail accounts because the mail is routed to an intermediary (BlackBerry Service).
There is no equivalent for the iPhone as the phone communicates directly with the mail servers and does not go through a 3rd party.

Mail does not recognize email address for Address Book marked as "Company"

I have a bunch of Address Book entries with "Company" checked and no first or last name. After the SL upgrade, entering the name of the company into an email in Mail.app does not result in it recognizing the company as a contact, or using the saved email address. Oddly, if I edit the contact so that it has a first and last name, even if Company remains checked, Mail will come up with the correct address. Any explanation or work around for this?
I also noticed that all of such contacts, after the SL upgrade, no longer had the Company box checked, resulting in them all being listed as "No Name" -- but I fixed that by rechecking all of the boxes.

Hi murrxx,
Based on my experience, it just cannot send to the un-recognized email address. The remaining recipients will recieve the email.
Please changing to OWA to verify whether all the mails cannot be sent.
If in OWA, just the un-recognized email address cannot be sent, it should be an issue on the Outlook Client side.
Please run Outlook under safe mode for testing.
Also try to re-create new profile to refresh the caches.
Is there NDR returned back to us when we cannot send emails to all?
If has, please post the details.
Please also collect some related event logs for the further troubleshooting.
Thanks

Firefox previously worked fine but after installing new version does not open. Opens in the same day that I install it but not after restarting computer.

I just installed the new version of firefox. My firefox worked fine with the previous version. But the new version only works on the day I install it but the next time i start my computer it does not work. It does not open after clicking the icon. I even uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but again the same thing happened. I have no idea about plug ins etc. but I did not install any new ones.

This is a very interesting issue. Let's start with trying [[safe mode]], [[managing profiles|new profile]], and [http://firefox.com/all-older.html installing an older version] - if one of these works, please don't do the rest and reply here.
