BlackBerry Curve is only downloading POP email from Comcast if it is sent from the BB itself.

So far I have been able to receive POP email from Comcast under one condition: if I send it from my BB itself. 
I've tried sending from countless other accounts.  I've missed emails coming in from other places.  I don't leave Outlook or any other client open and all the messages are still on the Comcast server.
I've seen many questions like this in various forums but most of the threads trail off without resolutions.
Any ideas?
Solved!

RESOLVED
Almost ten calls to Verizon tech support, several hours on the phone, hours Googling and posting in forums and finally, five minutes after the Verizon rep asked me to hold while he contact BlackBerry support, the problem is solved. 
I hope this helps someone else out:
Options -> Security -> Firewall -> Uncheck 'BlackBerry Internet Service'
Last night I thought I had fixed the problem as I was able to receive email from all addresses I sent from. A new problem appeared though: the phone would not ring or vibrate when the email was received, regardless of profile settings. I'm not sure what combination of events got me to this point. 
I resent service books, pulled the battery, and the phone returned to the problematic behavior I was seeing in the first place: 
* Could only receive emails that were sent from email accounts that had already been added to the phone. 
* Data transmissions indicators (arrows in the top-right) flashed when received email from other accounts but email did not arrive. 
At first I thought the problem was Yahoo/Google/Comcast until I tried sending email to my BlackBerry using a Comcast account which had not been added. 
This certainly was frustrating but I'm glad to have the problem resolved.

  • My iPad suddenly stopped downloading new emails and also started downloading 16000 emails from the server!  Why and how to I fix this?

    I cannot get new emails and my iPad is trying to download 16000+ emails from the server!

    I would delete the e-mail account from your iPad's Mail Account List, Lock & Unlock your iPad by pressing power button to refresh system, than re-add the Mail Account with the correct POP3 + SMTP settings..

  • HT6030 Mac Mail 7.1 has stopped importing my POP emails from the Server

    I have suddenly realised (over the past 2 weeks) that Mail has stopped importing my POP emails from the Server, at first I thought it was just that no-one was sendfing me any, however, I created an Account with Thunderbird and suddenly received dozens of them. I've tried many of the "googled" fixes but none seem to work for me....
    Can anyone help me to get my Apple Mail performing correctly please.

    Do a backup.
    Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    Information learned from Linc Davis. leonie also supplied some information.

  • Can't download POP email from GMail - HELP!!!!

    Just upgraded to a Macbook Pro from a 1.67Ghz G4 Powerbook.
    I've set my Macbook up from scratch with a completely new install and no matter what I do I CANNOT get Mail to download my POP email from GMail.
    I've deleted and completely reinstalled the account, set up a new user account and tried that, stopped the POP in GMail and renabled it and all I get is the lightning symbol for a problem with the account.
    Outgoing mail goes fine.
    I'm tearing my hair out. I fired my Powerbook up and it worked fine so it's definitely something on here....

    I'm embarassed to say that I had put the SMTP server port number in as the POP server port which explains why it didn't work.
    After 3 years of supporting people using macs I should know better but it just shows that if you think you've done everything right you can stare straight past something....
    Thanks for the help and sorry for being such a dimwit....

  • Why can I only see iCloud email from the last 4 months? Where have all my old emails gone?

    I was trying to track down an old email from November last year and having used the search tool with no luck resorted to scrolling through the weeks. I then discovered to my horror that I didn't have any emails beyond 1/12/13 !!
    I have subsequently checked online using iCloud and the results are the same. Where have all my emails gone? I have been a MobileMe member since it started and pay for increased storage - which I am no where near utilising - how can I retrieve the 'missing' old emails? I have many Apple devices and it appears they are mssing on them all....

    You might want to go to icloud.com and open your calendar, then click the gear icon and choose Preferences, then make sure you aren't hiding old events on the Advanced tab.

  • I live in pakistan and i downloaded ibooks from the apps store and it's good but here's the catch i can only download free books from the ibooks store not the one's that have to be paid what should i do?

    I live in pakisan and i downloaded ibooks and it's pretty awsoem but here's the catch it doesnt download books that r to be paid for but it does download the free ones. My cousin came frm the usa (she also has an iphone) and she didnt knew what to do she said that it works fine like her does but cant download the the books that r not free and doesnt even shows the books except for the free ones.

    No, we told you why you could get the paid books in the Pakistani iTunes Store; because Apple has not been able to obtain the rights to sell them there. There is no "fix", in Settings or anywhere else, to that problem. You cannot purchase paid iBooks in Pakistan, and you cannot use another country's iTunes Store.
    You did not ask any other questions that I can see.
    And you're being a bit rude in your replies, though perhaps that is due to an incomplete mastery of English and not intended to be impolite.

  • How I can make safari saving only users or emails from the login?

    Hello
    I want that safari will save my emails and users that when I will type in login form the first character of my user or email it will show me the emails or users that start with this character.
    I know that there is an option in the settings for saving emails and passwords but I want safari will save only the emails or users and not the passwords.
    Thank you in advance

    At a minimum, the creation of the TcpClient will need to change its parameter to the name of server you want to use:
    TcpClient tClient = new TcpClient("gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com", 25);

  • New iPad- mail wants to download +1500 emails from the server

    I have backed up my iPad2 and installed this back up to the new iPad.
    Email is working fine but it wants to load all 1500+ emails I have on the email server.
    Is there a way I can stop this and still get any new emails?
    Thanks

    No need to do that if this is an Exchange account.
    For Exchange, all you need to do is set the "Mail Days to Sync" in Settings ... which varies from "1 Day" to "No Limit", which  may be how you have your account set.

  • Mail downoading old emails from the server

    I have a SBC/Yahoo/ATT/?? account that has been working fine. It was updated to their new secruity and pop server settings a couple of months ago. Since then, I have been prompted several times to re-enter the password when doing send/receive. That was ok, just annoying at times.
    This weekend I opened up mail and it downloaded every email from the server (as if they were new)! I had certain emails set to redirect to my office, and so my office email got filled with redirected messages. It did not delete my messages from the server, but now I have duplicate/triplicate emails on my desktop. What happened and how do I prevent this from occuring again?!
    Please help.

    This is a POP account, right? What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?

  • 1 of my 2 POP accounts from the same server stoped downloading new emails

    I have 2 POP accounts from the same mail server; recently I was sending lots of emails from one of them and I got some errors while trying to send.
    After that day, that POP account stopped retrieving new emails. I rebuilt the Mailbox, removed it and added it again but nothing.
    If I use the option to view Messages on Server VS. Messages Downloaded to my Mac, I see that there are a whole lot more emails that I am not getting.
    My other account in the other hand, has a lot more emails and still downloads the new stuff.
    Please help me!

    Are you saying the notes are incorrect?
    No, I wasn't commenting on that at all. I was just saying that DBUA is the recommended way of upgrading databases... and that's in spades if you're talking about 100GB databases.
    I'll lay odds that DBUA to 10.2.0.1 and then patching to 10.2.0.3 is quicker than exporting and importing 100GB of data.
    (Applying a 10.2.0.3 patch is done with opatch and doesn't require a fresh installation of Oracle. A patch mostly just modifies the data dictionary: it's finished in minutes, not hours).
    My real point: these sorts of questions are incredibly easy to ask, answer, discard, re-ask, modify, mull over and basically experiment with in a virtual environment.
    And again: it's utterly bizarre why you wouldn't have physical access to this database (and keep in mind that I can't keep in mind little nuggets of information such as this one which you didn't see fit to share earlier!)
    It's in a virtual server. Virtual servers can be zipped up and emailed! (OK, maybe not 100GB... but I've shipped a small hard disk in a zip-lok pack envelope half way round the world before now -though obviously it wasn't critical to have the contents of that envelope available for use all the time... Still, it sounds to me like here's a technology (virtualisation) that's not being properly exploited).

  • Why does my iPad 2 only store emails from the last 3 or 4 days?

    Why does my iPad2 only store emails from the last 3 or 4 days?  I have it set up to store the last 1000 messages but I can't seem to keep them...

    What is the account type - POP, IMAP, or Exchange?
    If a POP account, are you also accessing the account with an email client on your computer? If so, what is the account setting for removing messages from the server after being downloaded with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account?

    You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;
