AIM mail suddenly not received by mac mail

Hi-
I have been using my new AIM account on my Mac Mail for about 6 months now with few problems.
The other day Mail decided to not send out any of my AIM mail although it was able to receive them. This lasted for a day and a half and then corrected itself.
Last night Mail is not receiving any of the AIM mail, although it is able to send it out (although VERY slowly). It is still trying to receive mail but cannot as of this morning.
I have checked the Mail settings and they seem fine. Mail is still able to be sent and received without a problem on the AIM mail site.
How can I see if the problem is with Mail, AIM, or even just me?
Thanks!

I discovered the problem. I had tried to send some photos that made a very large file. Mail tried and tried to send it but I finally stopped it. In the meantime it had copied the 44.1 M email 260 times! I deleted and emptied the trash and now all is well!

  • Why am I all of a sudden not receiving any texting videos or pictures?

    Why am I all of a sudden not receiving any texting pictures or videos?

    No, I don't work for Apple. I've been in IT for over 20 years including telecom and consulting.
    I'm on AT&T. The problem is not universal or even necessarily widespread on AT&T. If you're having issues, it is not a system wide problem. There can be interchange problems between networks from time to time and there can be problems within the AT&T network. If you have a phone, iPhone or otherwise that works today, there is no reason it shouldn't work next week if you don't make changes to it. The only reasons it wouldn't would be a hardware or software failure on the handset or problems on the carrier side. If there is 1 person with a problem. It's the handset. If there are 10... depends on the sample size.  If there are 100, then you can bet your boots it's the carrier.
    I've worked with AT&T a LOT during my career. Believe me, if you don't know the tricks, the person you get on the phone when you call about a problem like this has absolutely no idea what is wrong or if there is even a problem to begin with. Their sole purpose in life is to give you the warm fuzzies and make you go away.

  • Suddenly not receiving emails

    Hi,
    I've had my Blackberry Curve 8330 for about 6 weeks.  Suddenly, today, I am not receiving my emails.  I have checked everything I can think of - even got my husband's curve and looked at options on each and they are set up the same, yet he is still receiving emails.  Our email provider is the same.  Thanks

    I am having the exact same problem...any help would be appreciated. Thx.
    Disregard: Figured it out. I removed the battery and let it reboot automatically. Works fine now. Thx.

  • Why is my Droid Mini suddenly not receiving all texts sent to me?

    It doesn't matter if the sender is iPhone, Blackberry, etc. or Verizon, AT&T, etc.  It started with picture messages.  I had to send a text to whoever was sending me a picture before the picture "pushed through".  Now I am sporadically not receiving regular texts.  I am missing important messages - this is unacceptable!
    I have service during the missed messages.  I routinely get a "Messaging has stopped working." warning.  Sometimes I'm on WiFi, sometimes I'm not.
    Any ideas?

        We don't want you to miss any messages AMKrieger, I know how important it is to receive and send them. Please make sure your wi-fi connection is turned off, then reset the messaging application (make sure it's the stock application), http://vz.to/1hSEebv . Test your messages again and keep us posted.

  • Optonline does not receive my Mac Mail

    I use Mac Mail for various email addresses (comcast, gmail, mac/me) and I usually have no problem sending mail.
    I have had a problem not getting a person using Optimum (Optonline.com) to receive any of my emails. It just does not get to the person (he's in his 80s, so I can't just say "get a gmail account")  I receive mail from him just fine, but if I reply or start a fresh email, it just goes into outerspace, with no indication that it gets bounced, returned, or anything.
    I did have success by using Moble Me WEB interface rather than my SOFTWARE Mail interface.  Which leads me to believe it is related to Optonline not liking something that Mail is doing to the email???
    This is a client, so its kinda embarrassing to keep wondering if they got my email etc.
    Thanks, Dennis

    Thanks Bob and Ernie
    I have his address correct, because the problem exists even if I REPLY to his mail. Nothign gets there.
    BUT when I tried the Web-based version of .Mac/Mobile Me it went thru. The only difference was that the failed transmission came from the SOFTWARE based "Mail" program that is part of the Snow Leopard, which I used happily for 8 years.  I wonder if there is some kind of formatting/preference that Mail interjects that Optonline thinks is evil?  I have never knowingly, had this problem with any other recipient.

  • Can send but not receive from .mac using Mail

    I've a problem that pre-dates the mobile me change where the Mail application won't download mail from my .mac account. The most recent email downloaded was from three months ago and since then I have had the tilde character showing next to my .mac account indicating there is a problem.
    I have no problem sending mail from my .mac account, and emails from other non .mac accounts are downloaded without any problem. Webmail is ok - previously in .mac and now in mobile me and until now I've been logging in that way hoping it will resolve itself, but obviously it hasn't done.
    Any help or pointers will be gratefully received.
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Hello,
    All dot.Mac and Dot.Me account have migrated to iCloud.
    You should have been given details of expiry for the .Mac account to iCloud. Apple have now shut .Me and .Mac account for web access.
    Check this discussion which may help. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3966411?start=0&tstart=0

  • IPhone 3G suddenly not receiving or making calls.

    I have full bars, I reset my settings, turned on/off - nothing. Voicemails are appearing, but no calls are being received. If I try to call myself from another line, I just get silence. If I try to call out, the screen says "Calling XXX" but it's silent. Not even static, just dead. Everything was fine early this morning and suddenly at about 10:00 it went dead. Help?

    Remove the SIM and put it back and then try..

  • I am suddenly not receiving my voicemails in a timely manner.

    My voicemails stopped then 1 day i had 18 of them all past.  now i am not getting them again.  i am frequently in  areas of high reception so that should not be an issue and the fact that i had no problem until about 3 weeks ago has me confused.

        iamapiper,
    I know that this would concern me just the same and we definitely want to make sure you're receiving your messages when they arrive. You stated that this has been going on for about 3 weeks, have there been any recent changes since that time? Any new applications, software updates, or any physical or water damage to the device? What's your primary zip code? Having troubles with any other services such as calling, messaging, or data connectivity?

  • External HDs, Digi002 suddenly not recognized by Mac Pro or G5

    I have a very strange problem that I have not seen on any of the forums. Neither of my two Macs, a G5 or a newly purchased Mac Pro, recognize any of my external hard drives or Digi002, which is a controller used by Pro Tools. I have changed the ports, cables, everything. None of them will mount or be recognized by either computer. They do not show up in Disk Utilities or System Profiler.
    Neither of my two Macs, a G5 or a newly purchased Mac Pro (I just purchased this today), recognize any of my external hard drives or Digi002, which is a controller used by Pro Tools. I have changed the ports, cables, everything. None of them will mount or be recognized by either computer. They do not show up in Disk Utilities or System Profiler.
    All of the five external HDs I own, the external DVD burner, and Digi002 stopped mounting/being recognized on my G5. I needed to upgrade my computer anyway, so I purchased a Mac Pro. None of the above are recognized by the Mac Pro either.
    I have tried FW400, FW800, and USB slots in both computers, and none of them will mount or be recognized.
    Interestingly, all three of my USB drives mount in the USB ports that will not show any of my external HDs.
    _*G5 (OS10.5.8, G5 PowerMac7,2, 4G RAM):*_
    - None of the four external drives or Digi002 (FW400 connection) shows up. This does not matter whether it is USB, FW400, or FW800. Only USB drives show up.
    _*Mac Pro (OS10.6.6, MacPro1,1, 4G RAM)*_
    - None of the external drives or Digi002 (FW400 connection) shows up. This does not matter whether it is USB, FW400, or FW800. Only USB drives show up.
    - I cannot get iTunes to play through the 1/8" output.
    - Pro Tools 9.0.0 does not have input/output, and of course, does not recognize Digi002.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Your new Mac Pro, by default, boots 64-bit kernel mode; requires 64-bit drivers or you will need to switch to 32-bit mode. At least to test.
    Non-system drives are best formatted with the latest OS; and use GUID rather than Apple Partition Map.
    Between a new Mac, new OS and all the changes, try a very simple approach.
    Also, hope that you didn't migrate / import or use Setup to bring applications over to the Mac Pro; and don't use the G5 drives until you can reformat those to GUID.

  • My iphone4s suddenly not receive or call from my house.

    I have iphone 4s and 5. Suddenly I cannot make or receive calls with iphone 4s from inside of my house. ( iphone 5 is working very well and no problem.)
    I tried resetting network, turn on and off, update software to IOS 7.1.2, *228, and restore.. nothing is working.
    Funny thing is if I go outside of my house, my phone is working..
    Does any body has same issue?

        I'm really sorry to hear about the problems you've encountered, akim73. Let's see what we can do to find a solution. What happens when you attempt to make a call? Can you please provide me with your zip code? I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • I am all of a sudden not receiving photos in text form, anyone know why

    People are trying to send me pictures through iMessage and they are not going through on my end. It is not just happening from one person. Both people trying to send are using iPhones but one is verizon and one is AT&T. Not sure if one of my settings needs adjustment or what??

    Make sure you're connected to the internet of course if you both are using imessage. If you're attepting to send images via text, it requires your data to be on.

  • Mac E-Mail Not Receiving Incoming Mail From ATT/Yahoo Mail Server

    Recently "upgraded" to ATT U-verse. My Mac email client (3.6) suddenly not receiving incoming mail from the web-based ATT/Yahoo. Settings-all are correct: Telephone talk with Tier 1 and Tier 2 ATT reps confirmed "unusual" problem, and that the settings (ports, ssl, etc.) are indeed all correct. Tier 2 supervisor referred ticket (F23576784) to the brilliant minds at Yahoo for help. I've heard nothing for five days. Some emails do get received on my client, from (Apple, ATT, for example). Others languish on the web-based mail, with no push to my iMac. Tests of sending myself e-mails continue to confirm problem, with test emails sitting at Yahoo server, no push to my Mac client.
    I am able to send e-mails successfully from client. Interestingly, a couple of incoming e-mails from friends did manage to slip through the lines and arrive in my Mac client a couple of days late. Brave little souls, they're not talking.
    I've tried all sockets, all other settings possible, but no luck. Why is there no straight-forward answer to this proliferating problem? Odd e-mail behaviors? No documented or shared answers by the big outfits to Mac users? Mac mail virtually disabled and useless? Has anyone found a path to resolving the varied but similar problems in this area yet? Thanks in advance for any help offered beyond adjusting preferences over and over and over. That ain't working.

    Geez, some emails are getting through, most are not forwarded to my client MacMail. They are also marked as read, which could mean that Yahoo is forwarding them somewhere...(?) Can't get ahold of Yahoo, ATT forwards me to Yahoo, Yahoo has no method of emailing real, technical questions, ATT supervisor actually called Apple and there is nothing wrong with the OS or my set up requirements.
    Does anyone know a workaround for setting up smtp requirements? Can't switch email clients at this time, would take a lot of changing existing contact info for bizz.
    At this point all I would like to know is, where is the problem? Why does a server (ATT/Yahoo) send some mail to my account, not send others, and marks all messages on the webmail as read? Thanks for the one response, I do believe the problem is some minor error set at the isp's server software for Macs, but who knows?

  • Mac Mail POP Account Not Receiving Messages

    Using Mac Mail, I am suddenly not receiving messages in a POP account. The gmail account I use is working normally. Under connection doctor both accounts are green. Help, please?

    Same problem here since upgrading to Mail 7.1 (1827). All the settings are seemingly correct. The emails are marked as 'Read' on the server but are not downloaded.
    The emails are also deleted a week later as set in preferences.
    Thinking the emails may have gone elsewhere I used Spotlight to look for them. No success there.
    Real puzzle and yet another glitch on the latest Apple Mail.
    Come on Apple, get your act together.

  • How long has it taken people to receive their MAC?

    Hi everyone
    I asked for a MAC from BT on 11th, they told me that it can take five days but is usually instant, which is certainly the experience I have had from other providers in the past, sometimes I have a MAC texted/emailed to me before I'm off the phone with the CS dept!
    Not so with BT...here I am on the 14th still waiting for it, I get the feeling I won't get it until the last second so they can eek out another few days of subscription from me.
    Anyone else surprised at how long it's taking to receive a MAC?

    your MAC code must be issued in 5 working days from the request and from other posts BT take the full amount of time permitted to issue it - note it is time to issue not receive your MAC code
