Can get mail but can not receive mail.

Had a problem with receiving mail on an account so we deleted the account and re-added it. And it worked. Same thing is now happening to another user ad we tried the same thing but the user is still not getting mail.
Running 10.4.10. any help would be great. Not entirely new to server, but to troubleshooting the mail side I am beginner.
Also having a weird problem where old accounts, after they have been deleted still show up under server admin- mail - maintenance - accounts. Not a big problem just weird.

OK... to recap: You have a user, you send email to user, user checks email, user does not get email?
On the server, can you check the mail queue (in Server Admin or on the command line with mailq) to see if mail for that user's id is stuck in the queue? Mail can be stuck in the active queue without throwing any error messages your way. In my experience, and the experience of a few others on the board, this can be due to problems connecting to the user's home directory server.

  • My ATT IMAP Mail account will not receive mail unless I rebuild the mailbox.

    Hi - I have one ATT IMAP Mail account that does not receive mail promptly, often taking hours or even days to arrive unless I rebuild that particular mailbox. Another IMAP account with a different provider works fine. I have tried to figure out the problem with ATT, but they seem to think the problem is Apple Mail. I know the mail should be arriving because I can see it in in webmail, but it doesn't arrive until immediately after I rebuild. What's up with this and how do I fix it?

    AT&T uses Yahoo for mail service, and Yahoo often causes problems with Mail in OS X, so there may not be a good solution. You can try the following.
    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Hello Lifechip,
    Try a soft reset and troubleshoot the problem, if you do not know how to perform a soft reset click on the link below;

  • Mail can get messages, but does not send

    I've synced up my iPhone 4, (upgrading from a 3G), and I can receive email from my accounts, but I cannot send mail. I've gone through and verified all settings, and they are identical on the phones. I can still send mail from the 3G (over WiFi). Any suggestions?

    How do you know mail is not being sent: do you eventually get an error message indicating that the receiving server rejected the message or was unable to deliver it?
    If you are testing by sending messages to yourself, bear in mind that some spam filters may be filing those away in a junk folder because it is a common pattern of spammers to send messages from you to try to evade filtering. Try sending to a different account (you can create an account for testing on Yahoo mail, Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail, or Gmail).

  • Hey anyone know of a way to set up gmail on the iPad or iPhone that it only sends mail but does not receive

    Hey please let me know if you know about this

    Shlomo-
    My Usenet Newsreader program (MT-Newswatcher) has a mail client capable of sending messages through my mail account, but is not capable of receiving mail as far as I can tell.  However my mail account does receive mail.  If there is an mail account not capable of receiving mail, I don't think Gmail is it.  But that doesn't mean you have to read it or download it to your computer.
    My incoming mail resides on an AOL server.  My old AOL mail client only shows basic information like title, date received and who it is from.  The mail is not actually downloaded to my computer until I open it.
    Other mail clients such as AOL Desktop and the iPad mail App, do download the mail to your computer or iPad, whether you read it or not.  So the answer to your question may depend on your mail client and how you define "does not receive"!

  • I can get email, but can not send it.

    I'm having the same problem that a lot of people are. My personal email will go to my phone, but I can not reply or send an email from my phone. I had a blackberry before and never had any problems with it. It is a POP3 email, I entered all the servers and ports, and still can get it to send. I checked with clearwire, they couldn't help. Can anyone help me fix this? If not the phone is getting returned and a new blackberry in it's place. Thanks for any and all help.

    I think you check to below process.
    1. Do you use "RSCONN01" program?
    2. which do you use FMs SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 or SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1. For example SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 not correct in our system.  SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 works healthy.
    3. Pleace check your user's master data for email.
    4. You may write test mail and send to smtp mail with SBWP tcode. And then run RSCONN01 programs.
    5. You check fill parameters of FM.
    Best Regards.

  • Mail app won't send mail, but it will receive mail

    The mail app on my macbook pro and iphone will not send mail, but they can recieve mail.  I deleted both accounts and reloaded them and they still won't work.  After that I ran repair permissions and it found nothing wrong.  Has anyone experienced this problem and how can I fix this?

    I had same problem with my MBA and Mac Desktop (don't have iPhone)...could receive but not send emails after Lion upgrade.  I only experienced it at home versus at work (inconsistently on both on my macbook air and my desktop mac).
    For me the solution was when you compose an email there are two dropdown listboxes next to From:  ...in the second one select smtp.me.com:yourusername   Until Apple makes a change you might need to do that each time you send or reply to a message.
    I think it has something to do with if you don't do that then port 25 might get used which can be blocked by a lot of ISPs.
    Apple support helped me solve this problem and said it was a known issue they are working on.
    Hope this helps with your issue!

  • HT3228 Can get email but can't send

    I set up my pop 3 account and I can receive emails but can't send them. Something simple Im sure..?.

    Many times is is because the outgoing server settings are not correct.
    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • Entourage prob:  I can send mail but checking for received mail crashes app

    This just started this afternoon and I have no idea how to fix it.
    I can send mail in Entourage without a problem. But once the autocheck goes or I click "Send & Receive", Entourage crashes with "The application Microsoft Entourage has unexpectedly quit."
    I've rebooted a few times, and it's not helping whatsoever.
    I don't know if it's a virus, or if my Entourage file is corrupt, or what.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    I have just tried changing my incoming server name to pop3.virginmedia.com and, hey presto, it's working. Heaven knows why it simply just stopped in the first place... thank you for looking, though!!

    This is how it works.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Can get spam but can't send it?

    I occasionally receive spam email trying to imitate Paypal.  When you receive one of these, Paypal wants you to forward it to [email protected] so they can investigate and hopefully shut the operation down.  Great idea except, it seems that the Verizon mail server will allow me to receive these problem email, but won't allow me to forward them in any form to the Paypal services who want to see them.   How to I resolve this problem?

    What happens when you try to forward it? Are you getting an error message?

  • You can get Roles but can you get the Role of the user

    Can you display or hide items dependant on the roles of the logged in user is assigned too.
    I know you can do this for the menu using menu.json
    "visible": true,
            "applyIf": {
                "userHasRoles": ["Administrators"]
    But what about for other elements inside the app. Is there a way to get the roles of the user logged in.
    Is this missing as a feature or am I missing some pieces.

    I just want to hide or remove a page element ie if(adminUserRole != 'Admin') {$('#element').remove}. Just some way to see the roles of the admin user that is logged. But yes early days.
    On a side note BC are looking to launch the project and advertise the store on the 17th is this not a bit ahead of themselves if there is a potential that apps functionality may be reduced because of new policies, restrictions etc even if only temporarily. Once apps hit the masses this may cause some tension when people loose functions they once had.
    Edit :Ok BC have already changed the date of the launch. I jumped the gun in saying this as they have it all under control.
