Can't get new mail nor view last 2 years of mail

I am running OSX 10.6.8 with Mail 4.6 using a POP connection to pull emails from Gmail. While Mail updates Apple RSS feeds, it does not get new mail. Also I can't view any mail I have received since 2012. Since Mail 4.6 was only copyrighted until 2012 is that what is going on? I regularly update software so I presumed my mail software was being kept up to date. Also I have 12K piece of mail , could that be an issue? Could I be receiving the mail and its hidden? Please advise. Thanks

Although no one responded I am posting because this is a cautionary tale. The key problem was that I was synching my mail account to Gmail through POP whereas gmail switched to IMAP two years ago. Because I was unaware of this switch (let's not talk about that) three things were happening. My mail could not get new mail as it was looking for a non-existent i.e. retired connection protocol. So 1) couldn't read new mail, 2) could delete or clean up mail and 3) which was by far the worst part was that the synching I had set up between address book and gmail contacts was going crazy metastisizing contacts and that was putting a strain on my CPU where often 90 % of the CPU use was going to trying something it could not due. Which meant my computer was running very very slowly to the point where I was ready to junk it.

  • Can one get back msoffice2010professionalplus(free)installed last year and lost it as it was taken out for installaion in another laptop

    My granddaughter felt we both could use msoffice2010 professional plus offered free by Microsoft last year.It was for slow connection.I got it installed with key provided and was fully functional.
    Unfortunately she got it installed in her laptop with the help of a pen drive. And after a few days I lost the much valued(both in software and price wise ).

    Sorry, that isn't a Firefox support issue. You need to get help from Microsoft or a support forum for Microsoft products.

  • Can we get news grps mail tro mails or can we access these mails tro outlook or any mail clients ??

    Hello
    Can we get news grps mail tro mails or can we access these mails tro outlook or
    any mail clients ??
    Kindly Write Vack,
    Dilip

    OK, getting really close now.  Per your recommendations, I eliminated the middle tier of accounts.  Things now look like this:
    Top Tier:  a single account (e.g.: [email protected]) for sharing only common Contacts and Calendar entries to be available to all family members below.
    Bottom Tier:  one unique account for each IOS device (e.g.: oharahusband@, oharawife@, oharachild1@, ... oharachildn@).  Each family device will add the oharafamily@ and select only Contacts and Calendars for that Top Tier account.
    I have tested this at a basic level by adding, changing and removing contacts and calendar entries at the oharagroup level, and observed these entries appearing and disappearing properly in the iPhone 4 and iPad associated apps.
    Now I have two additional questions:
    Q1 - In the near future, as I buy additional iOS devices, I will want to be able to see my own (but not my wife's) personal information across all my iOS devices (and vice versa).  When I add a new iOS devices, for example, for myself, should I:
    Alternative 1:
    Assign each new device of mine a unique new iCloud account (e.g., oharahusbandipad@, oharahusband iphone, etc.),
    Make that new iCloud account the primary for the device in question,
    Then (I'm guessing here) make sure that in the Acounts settings for each of my iOS devices include all my other iCloud primary acounts/devices, and,
    Finally, add in the oharagroup@ into the new device's Accounts section to include shared entries
    OR
    Alternative 2:
    Assign the same iCloud account number to each new device (for example, all mine beome oharahusband@),
    Make that primary on all my devices, and,
    include the oharagroup@ in each device's Accounts settings for sharing.
    Thanks!

  • My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad

    My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad. Like the downtown view and stuff. Please help.

    What locations are you seeing these "problems"? If the satellite photos are older or not as clear, you may see some of what you describe. Take a look at one of the major cities and see if they are also appearing as you describe. Someplace like New York, London, Paris. Those are among the cities that seem to be updated most frequently.
    Incidentally, the maps are web/cloud based and not contained within the maps app on your iPad, so regardless of the version of your app, you will still get the most current map available.

  • I can't get 'new message' in imail....any ideas?

    I can't get 'new message' in imail....any ideas?

    Step 1: Turn on the computer
    Step 2: Do you have an Internet connection? To test this, go to your applications and in the utilities folder double click on Network Utility. Go to the ping section and type in www.Google.com. If you can get there then you have Internet. Make sure your DNS servers are correct for the network you are on. If you are using a static IP try using DHCP and get an IP address and check then.
    Step 3:Are you at home or school? If you are at school, they might have the mail app blocked. I know that at my college, I am unable to get my mail on the Apple Mail app.
    Step 4: Are your connections configured correctly on the mail app. If you are using gmail, the settings will be automatically configured. If you have your own e-mail address you are adding for your work then you will have to consult your IT department and get the correct settings.
    Step 4: Do you have an antivirus software that is blocking any Internet connection for the app. Yes I said antivirus and mac in the same sentence. MAC GETS VIRUSES TOO! Go into the firewall configuration and unblock the mail app.

    Hi, Daryl -
    If you moved the G4 around to make room for the new machine, that could have jarred the processor loose. It's not unusual for that to happen to an older machine, though it usually happens to RAM or cables, not to the processor.
    Years of heating and cooling can loosen a connection and cause some oxidation of the contacts; subsequent moving of the machine, coupled with just a bit of thumping or torquing of the chassis, can cause the connection to fail. Reseating the connection not only makes it secure again, it usually wipes the oxidation off of the contacts.

  • Can we get data from business views  in CR 2008/XI?

    Hi All,
    Can we get data from business views  in CR 2008/XI?
    If its possible, pls let us know how to get connect with Business View in both of these versions and what is the tool that we have to use to create Business Views.
    Thank you,
    Krishna Pingali

    Hi Krishna,
    Crystal Reports/BusinessObjects Enterprise ( BOE ) Business Views can only be created using the BV build which comes with BOE and installed using the Work Station installer for BOE. for both XI and 2008.
    You cannot mix these two versions on the same PC not can one talk to the other, the BV designer must match the same version as BOE. XI ( version 11.0 ) is no longer available but if you mean XI R2 ( version 11.5 ) then it still is.
    It's not completely clear which Business View you are referring to? BOE has a Business View Designer so not sure if this is just a naming problem or not? If you are referring to the BOE Business View Designer then the above is true. If your reference is about some other BV designer or data source then you need to clarify.
    Contact our Sales department for pricing and availability.
    Thank you
    Don

    i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

  • I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

    I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
    I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

    I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
    Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
    Reset the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

  • I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. Tried to follow some suggestions found here but nothing is working. Any new suggestions?

    I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. I've followed several threads I've read here but nothing is working.

    For such situation, I'd suggest the following:
    1. Remove current installed office with the fix-it tool in
    KB2739501, and follow the "Remove Office manually" section to make sure there are no remaining files
    2. Either download a trial version of Office 2013 from
    http://office.microsoft.com/, or from
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj937170
    3. Reboot your computer in clean boot mode, and run setup again

  • I have a mac OSX desktop version 10.6.8 and all of a sudden I can't get a full screen view in Safari when I ask for help the response is use the arrows on the top right of the screen ... I don't have them  ... can anyone help?

    I have a mac OSX desktop version 10.6.8 and all of a sudden I can't get a full screen view in Safari when I ask for help the response is use the arrows on the top right of the screen ... I don't have them  ... can anyone help?

    Hi Mary,
    I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
    I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved  all the way to the left.  Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.
