Can't receive email .MAC, IMAP or POP

My receive email stopped working, all of a sudden. I have checked all the setup parameters, and they are right. I even tried to create duplicate accounts, one for .MAC, one for IMAP, and one for POP. They all fail to receive email from my @mac.com email account. Web mail works fine, and I can send email to myself from my mac.com email, or my sbcglobal.net email, but it only shows up in web mail not in the mail client.
Befuddled

"What does "stopped working" mean? "
Thank you for the reply, stopped working means tht I can't receive email. Turns out, that this morning, after 24 hours, it started working agiain. I tried everything yesterday to receive email, and nothing would work, including deleting the account on the client and reentering it. Today, I tried entering it again, and wonderful of wonderfuls, it works fine. My only guess, is tht whatever server my mail is on, wouldn't connect.
Oh, well, thanks,
Tom

Can't receive email using 10.3.9 and mail 1.3.11 (v622/623)

I can send but not receive email from my POP account using cable modem.
All settings appear correct. When I select "get mail," there are no warnings or dialog boxes and "fetching mail" and "traversing mail heirarchy" messages all seem to happen as before but then no mail appears. My wife can receive and send with her account on "her computer" setup (seperate user on this computer). I have checked all the mail help tips, compared settings with my wife's setup, deleted the suggested (on this discussion board) file that holds the downloaded mail data and emptied the trash, pinged (all ok), and checked the keychain (verified correct).
If I change to my .mac mail account, "get mail" works fine.
No problem accessing the faulty account via web mail.
Any other tips??

Your answer looks like it would work for me, but I wanted to know where you got the info. I want to be sure I do the right thing. Can you tell me where you found that out? Or is what you said in this post everything I need to know?
I'm periodically having the same problem downloading mail. I used to think it was MSN not working, but now I've noticed that when it happens MSN Messenger is operating and saying I have mail, (and I can access it via Safari on the hotmail site) but Mail 1.3.11 won't stay online, saying a read error of some sort when I try to get my mail. This used to happen only occasionally but is increasing to many times every day.
thanks,

Can't Receive Email Via IMAP Account

Hi! I have set up an IMAP account using host name of p99-imap.mail.me.com (for incoming mail server). I can send emails just fine from this IMAP account. However, I can't receive any. I am using my iCloud email user name and password when I set up the incoming mail server information right underneath the host name (which is p99-imap.mail.me.com). Does anyone know what I may be doing incorrectly? I appreciate any suggestions!

Yes. The settings are correct. I've deleted and set up the same account several times now on both my devices, just in case that might fix it. No luck. I'm currently using Inky Mail, which seems to have no problems accessing my email. Would be nice to be able to once again use the stock Apple mail app, though.

I can't receive email after i resend reset my apple id password in my email

Two way to reset apple id password,
Email authentication: To access your information, we will send an email to the address(es) on file for you.
Answer security questions: To access your information, you will need to answer the security question(s) provided when you originally created your Apple ID.
So I forgot my security question, I reset apple id by
Email authentication: To access your information, we will send an email to the address(es) on file for you.
It successfull to reset, But I do not receive email from Apple. Please help my I phone can't active when I upgrade version.

First, try the new password. If you didn't sign out of iCloud prior to changing the primary email address of your Apple ID, this is what can cause this problem.
Also, read this: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

Using osx 10.7.5 can send but not receive emails. Mail server support rep tried everything

Using iMac with OSX 10.7.5. Can send but not receive emails. No problem with internet account. Server rep tried everything and suggested perhaps a corrupted file in the op syst. Any ideas?

You may have a corrupt preference. Mail - Preferences - Accounts - click the offending account and re-enter all prefereneces. Also you can use Apple's OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages located at:

I can send but not receive email

Hello All. I know this is a highly posted topic but I cannot find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Basic Problem- I can send but not receive email.
My ISP is. Yahoo SBC Global
I have a 3rd party email provider: 1and1.com
I have set my preferences according to the specifications of 1and1.com
The error I get is this: The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server "pop.1and.com" failed.
I have a Macbook Pro, running 10.4.9. My account with the 3rd party email provider is new and only has 1 or two emails in the account. I know this because I can log on via the internet and use their website to check the emails in the inbox. So the "email" address is working. I just can't get it to forward to my laptop.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with port 110 being blocked by my ISP. But I really don't think they are blocking that port. Due to the fact that my previous computer was a dell, and I used a similar 3rd party provider to email, the account used port 110 and things worked fine.
Thanks to all.

Ok. I've got it working.
All I did was delete my account information from the preferences. Before, I was editing it.
I entered a completely new POP account and it started working. I have a hard time believing that I entered information incorrectly prior to this because I checked it, rechecked it had a friend check it and it all looked OK. I was copy and pasting information anyway.
However, once I deleted and re- entered a brand new account, it worked fine.
Ernie, thanks for replying to my emails! I appreciate it.

Can send but can't receive email through ATT POP account

My ISP is ATT. Email is through a POP account. I've verified all the settings through the ATT support page and been on the phone with an ATT Mac (dubious) tech. I'm able to send but not receive email. I get no errors when I check mail. It just appears that there's nothing new. I am able to receive through web mail. I deleted my cache as suggested by another user. Any thoughts? Thanks very much.

Hi QCKaren, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Feel free to start a new topic to attract more helpers to your particular situation, here's a link if as is often the case, it's hard to find out where to do it...

ISP tells me I will lose messages in all mailboxes - but does this mean all mailboxes that are stored "locally on my macintosh" or just the mail in the inbox, sent and trash associated with that account?
Yes, if it's a POP account all will be lost.
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...

Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index

Can't receive emails but can send. Checked all settings as per help all ok. Tried deleting and adding. All ok on other devices

I Can't receive emails but cand send. Just stopped working. I have checked all settings and also tried deleting account and re adding. Email account ok as works on my phone and laptop. What else could I try?

Go into the account again and look at the settings for the mail server. That is what receives the mail. Make sure that your username and password are entered everywhere, even where the phone states optional. I'm guessing that you are connected to Wi-Fi on the iPad at the time you are trying to get the mail?

Can't receive emails sent from Windows Mobile

After much troubleshooting, I've found that I can't receive emails sent from Windows Mobile users. I never noticed the issue until recently, but I can't pinpoint when the problem began: Leopard 10.5.2, Mail 3.2... not sure.
When a Windows Mobile user sends me an email, it just doesn't show up in my inbox. It does show up in a web client, my iPhone, and in Thunderbird, so I know the mail is being delivered to my mailbox on the server. However, there is no corresponding message located in ~/Library/Mail, so it looks like the message isn't being downloaded from the server. I have emails before and after the stubborn email message, so it hasn't interfered with anything else that I can tell.
Anyone else been able to pinpoint this issue and figure out a fix or workaround? Anyone have any ideas?

I am experiencing precisely the same issues. Messages from Windows Mobiles v.6 (more than just a single handset) are not being displayed in Mac Mail 3.2
I have tried rebuilding mailboxes and changing the IMAP port connecting with Exchange server. The mail is there as I can see it in Outlook, OWA, and OMA
Similar situation to you in that I have no idea when this started to happen, but it can only be in the last 3-4 weeks max.
Please, if anybody has a fix or workaround, or knows what changes have been made to Mac Mail in the last few weeks.
Thanks in advance.

I can't receive emails but I can receive them. Why?

From m today I can't receive emails on my iPad but I can make them.

Of you mean you can't receive mails but can send them
Then 1 of two things are the cause
1 your pop3, imap, or exchange settings are set wrong
2 you carrier or router block the required ports

Can send, can't receive email after IMAP set up on Mail
