Apple Mail not receiving emails after OS X update 10.6.7

Hello,
I have a strange problem. Apple mail has stopped receiving incoming messages after I did a software update of OS X 10.6.7. Outgoing mail is working fine.
Funnily enough the same settings are still working on my Iphone where I continue to receive incoming email.
I performed a rebuild on the mail and have done a combo update as well without any success.
Please help!!
Thank you

My problem was resolved using this..

Mail not receiving emails after being delivered on iphone (still on server)

Mail is not receiving all of my emails once they have been delivered on my iphone. It seems to do this selectively. I logged into my account on the web and the emails are still there (as I have not requested emails to be deleted form the server). Please help!

On the G5, 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 these 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...

LG Ally will not receive email after 2.2 update

Does anyone know if they have the email problem fixed with the LG Ally after the 2.2 update? They told me it was a technical issue with the update and Embarqmail and that they would have to find a fix for it. So in the meantime they have sent me a new phone and told me not to update it to 2.2 until they have a fix for the Embarqmail problem. I would really like to upgrade to 2.2 so that I can start using some of the apps and games that I won't run on 2.1.

I would be surprised that the v2.3 update has done this. None of my Canon inkjets are showing the same symptom after running the update, although I don't have any machine as old as your i860. Personally I think that your print head could be the cause and the update timing is a coincidence. With a faulty print head, you would get no output even then though your supply levels still show the black ink as full.
I suggest you try a nozzle test. If you open Print & Fax, select the i860 and then click Options & Supplies, you should see a Utility tab. Select this and click Open Printer Utility. Then select the i860 and press the Maintenance button. Change the menu to Test Print and then select Nozzle Check. This will print a page and show you if all the inks are working. I would expect the black not to appear on this printed sheet. If this is so, you can then change the menu to Cleaning and click the Cleaning button. Do another nozzle test. If the black still does not print, then try doing Deep Cleaning.

TS3276 mail stop receiving emails after os update

Since I updated my mountain lion, my mail stop receiving emails, I still got them on my iphone so i don;t know what's wrong with my mac. my chrome freezes and youtube videos start freezing as well.. there must be something wrong with the update!!

What happened when you took the steps suggested in the support article?

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.

Mail not receiving emails since upgrading to Maverick

I have been having nothing but issues using the Mail program since upgrading to Maverick earlier this year. I can't get my incoming emails to sync normally (I have multiple different accounts set up from different servers), sometimes they come in with no issues and other times they don't show up for hours or after I manually restart the program/computer. I know there is a huge delay because they come in on my phone and iPad without any issues. This is a huge problem for me since I use Mail for all my work emails and I can't log into all the different web applications easily. Can anyone give me any suggestions?? I've tried taking the accounts offline and then resyncing them and sometimes it works but lately it isn't doing the trick either. Here is my mail version I'm using : Version 7.3 (1878.6) and I'm in OSX 10.9.5 I haven't upgraded Yosemite because my last upgrade to Maverick was such a headache... Please help!!!

Apple Mail not received by Optonline etc.

I send and receive mail using Apple Mail program with several email accounts (Comcast, Gmail, Mac/Me) I have a couple people who never get my email if I send using Mail, but if I send using Gmail's web browser interace, it works. I have Mail setup so it is not formatted text. I have no known problems with 99% of my email contacts.
The two people can send me stuff fine but my reply or fresh email to them never arrives and never gets bounced back, so neither of us know that something went wrong. Just goes into oblivion. Only way I know is I ask them if they got the email and they say no.
They use Optonline and Network Associates for their ISP, and botha re lcoated on East Coast.
Are there settings on my end to make my outgoing email more friendly to picky ISP or email cleitns on their end??

you are doing everything just right.
it sounds like the problem is on the receivers end, they may have a setting that is preventing this. you isolated it by stating you sent the email to yourself with the quoted text, and the quoted text showed up fine. you are good to go, the receivers need to do the troubleshooting.

Apple Mail not fully working after Mac OSX 10.5.7 update

Since I have updated to Mac SOX 10.5.7 I don't get all of my email. I have 5 separate email accounts with my internet service provider (Cox) that are all with the same email service but when I go to check my email I only receive email messages from 4 of the 5 email accounts. I have sent test emails to each account but I don't receive the test email on one of the accounts and that is the one I use the most. This started to happen after I downloaded the update. Very strange..... Anyone out there having this same problem?????? These are POP email accounts.

Now this is weird. When I went into Apple Mail preferences and unchecked the SSL box in ADVANCED then all of my emails came through fine and even my test messages to that email account. Perhaps that is the issue. Do I need to use SSL and what is it????

Mail not receiving email

I recently purchased an iPhone so I wanted to change my Mac Mail from a POP account to IMAP since I will be checking on both devices. The issues is after I have done this I no longer receive emails to Mac Mail. I am able to send, but not receive. I receive new emails to my iPhone no problem and it has the exact same settings as the IMAP account for Mac Mail. The steps I have taken to try and correct:
Deleted the POP account
Deleted and re-added the IMAP account
Connection Doctor shows green on both incoming and outgoing e-mail
Created a new user account with the IMAP account
Repaired Disk permissions
Deleted the Keychain password for the IMAP account
Reset the password for the e-mail account
I did find I am able to receive emails when I perform "Get Account Info" specifically the Quota Limits tab. I have to manually do this each time I want to check and receive new e-mail. Also selecting the Rebuild option does the same. Each time I want to get my e-mail I have to perform one of these two options. New emails are not automatically received, or selecting the Get Mail does not retrieve new messages.
Any other ideas, I am completely out of things to try. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. I receive mail just fine on my iPhone and on the other Macs in my home. I only have a problem with my MacBook Pro. It is also sporatic. Some e-mails come thru. Some do not unless I restart Mail or take all accounts offline then back online. The same things happens on other networks when I am away from home. Frustrating.
Any help out there????

ICloud mail not receiving email on any platform

The last email I received was last night. Not getting any emails coming in on any device (iphone 4, macbook pro & mail). I can send email and that works fine, but nothing is coming in. Anyone else having this problem too?

It seems as though somehow the culprit is apple mail. Right now I have it closed and my messages seem to be coming through in both icloud.com and on my iphone. Tonight I think I will reset apple mail and hopefully that solves the problem. Have you ever had a similar problem?

Apple Mail not receiving Gmail replies

I've been using Apple Mail with one of my Gmail accounts and it seems that for some reason its not picking up personal emails that are being sent to me as a reply? I'm still receiving corporate emails such as twitter, soundcloud etc. but there is no sign of the replies that are being sent from friends and colleages. When i log into the actual Gmail site there is no trace of the email i sent being sent either aswell as the no trace of any email being received.
Connection doctor is green for every other account accept for this one in which it says 'Trying to log in to this SMTP acount failed. Verify that username and password are correct' and i know 100% that the password and username aren't the problem.
Thanks in advance

Apple mail not separating emails into correct inbox

I have quite a few accounts setup in the apple mail app on my iMac. I am running version 10.9.5, when I receive new emails they are all going into one accounts inbox, it is not separating into the correct inbox for each individual account. I have checked and all preferences look fine.

Hi, is this a POP or IMAP acount?
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.
Reboot, then in Mail, highlight that Mailbox, then in Mail's Mailbox menu, choose Rebuild... any change?

Mail not receiving emails with attachments

Hi
I'd appreciate any suggestions in relation to the following.
My wife and I both run computers from the one account, Mail on her PowerBook logging in through my name and password. Until recently, we have had no problems at all. However, it has come to light that my wife has not been receiving emails with attachments for some time. To test this, my wife sent an email with an attachment to her home email address from work, and copied it to me. I received the email and the attachment on my PC; my wife's Mac did not receive the email. I then forwarded the email with the attachment to her computer; this was successful. This would suggest some problem with her Mail account on the Mac. However, the configuration has not been changed. Is it possible for it just to stop working for some reason?

I'm using a PC for my email at the moment. I'm not sure if all my wife's emails have been downloaded. However, Mail has made a Home/Mail/MessageUidsAlreadyDowloaded file. This was created when I sent an email to test what happened. I was unable to make Mail download all her emails, so I guess they must have gone from the server. She has a different email address to mine, but it's run from the same ISP account; as I said, she logs in, automatically, through Mail to her email. I have contacted the ISP about it, but they are unable to see any trace of emails that colleagues have sent my wife and which she sends home to herself. All of these files happen to have attachments, but I cannot see any setting of Mail which would account for them being rejected. Also, I can't be entiurely sure that only emails with attachments don't get through; there may be others, 'unattached'.
Thanks for your continued assistance.

Mail not receiving emails but sending them ok. It says updated at 11:28 but that was six hours ago and it won't update.

my Mail is not receiving on my iPad but is sending fine. Emails are sent and received fine on my iPhone and when accessing the account directly through safari. It says updated at 11:28 but that was six hours ago and it is stuck there.
i have tried restarting multiple times with no luck.

Have you tried signing out of your Mail account and then back in again?
Cheers,
