Can't receive email "accounts are currently syncing"

Cannot receive emails. Under Settings/Mail, contacts, calendars, etc in shows "Accounts are currently syncing". Can send emails. Tried Geek squad and local Apple store. No one has helped.

Well for me at least, turned out that syncing with iTunes over the air was failing due to a lack of space on the iPad.
So in iTunes, I cleaned up space by switching off the option to sync my entire library to syncing select playlists.
This created more space and then I was able to see the Mail/Calendar/Contacts preferences again on the iPad and when I launched Mail, it didn't crash.

Can not receive emails from third party email accounts

Recently I started working for a small business which has small business server 2011 and exchange 2010 installed. Before I started there were eight user accounts and they all have unlimited email access. I created a few users through sbs AD and also from
exchange console a week ago. Unfortunately none of them can not receive emails from third party accounts. they all can receive internal emails and also can send mails to any email accounts internally and externally.
This is a night mare for me as new users are having trouble with communicating via mails. I have tried all the methods and now thought of posting this issue on tech net. Please help me on this!!
Thanks a lot!!

Checklist for testing inbound email problems, I am assuming outbound emails works ok.
1. Check Port 25 forwarding on all modems routers/firewalls
2. MX Record is created and pointing to the correct Public IP Address, use MXToolbox.com to verify MX Record and test SMTP flow. Also Verify your public IP has not changed, use whatsmyip.org to check you public IP
3. If using POP Connector Service, make sure POP accounts are created properly
4. If using a 3rd party spam host, make sure they forward email to correct public IP address, use step 2 to verify your public IP.

Eversince installed Mountain Lion, i can't receive emails from my Microsoft Exchange account!! Why is this so?

Eversince installed Mountain Lion, i can't receive emails from my Microsoft Exchange account!!
Why is this so? I don't have this problem prior to installing the Mountain Lion OS X

Have you tried 10.8.1? It includes fixes in this area. Usually the problem is if Active Directory is returning incorrect Exchange information in response to an Autodiscover request. In 10.8.1 you can manually edit this information.

I've rec'd a few errors related to syncing Mail, but none have had this specific wording. If you haven't already, try quitting Mail before syncing. Also, make sure that you're not in your Settings areas on the iPhone before syncing. Hope this helps!

It seems that I can't receive emails from certain sites. They are not on the blocked list. How do I fix this?

No matter what I do I can't receive emails such as newsletters from certain companies. I have looked several times on the blocked list and they are not there. It happened after my computer tech changed me to FireFox. How can I fix this?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Can't receive emails in inbox

Guys,
I'm just trying this whole Mac-thing, so this is not a good first experience.
Got my mbp a few days back, it's a 2010 15inch w/ hires, 8gig and 500 gb hdd.
Installed it last Thu and configured Email at the same day. I am currently using 3 accounts, 1 of which is gmail and the other two are just normal IMAP accounts. Everything worked really fine and I was quite happy until today, when on one of my IMAP accounts no more new emails were shown in the inbox.
- no more new emails came since around midnight
- test emails sent to myself would not arrive
- emails checked with thunderbird on my windows machine shows that there are a lot of new emails but none show up on the mac
- did some analysis and found that the system was busy syncing the whole imap accounts which is quite big (few gigabytes)
- even when the account finished to sync, it would not catch up with the emails
- sent another test email, that one arrived but still no old emails came in
- at this point I thought it would not sync read messages, but yet it did before
- tried menu -> mailbox -> rebuild mailbox, nothing helped
- one of the rebuild mailbox attempts (perhaps even the first one) cleared the inbox completely from all emails - at least in mail. emails are still there when I look with a different email client
- removed the account and added it
- still no more emails in the email inbox for this account.
This is really very peculiar. It worked fine for 5 days and why would it suddenly stop. Server software is an oldishly mdaemon, but again, it worked fine just for a few days.
It looks only to happen on this very inbox of this very account. As far as I can see, the other accounts are syncing their emails nicely.
I really would love to continue with using Mail but I have no idea how to solve this.
If anyone has input, please let me know.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
I had it set to cache all messages including attachments. Didn't think about the IDLE command though.
What I'm currently doing is to put the messages onto another IMAP server since I've read one posting somewhere else that mdaemon and mail cause problems (this instance that I found talked about Leopard but symptoms were very similar)
http://www.siriusmug.com/index.php/2007/10/27/alert-leopard-mailapp-is-incompati ble-with-mdaemons-imap-service/
This is really old news but the mdaemon I'm using is also really old so it could be connected. I'm currently pulling over emails to another installation which is not using mdaemon. So far I'm still getting emails, ie hasn't stopped yet, but I'm also far from syncing the emails to the other installation.
Thanks Ernie,
Tom

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 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 email all of a sudden

Hi
I have had my iMac for a year now. I'm using system 10.7.5. I have had no problems with it at all until now. About a month ago I suddenly stopped receiving emails in one of my accounts. All the others worked fine. I didn't make any changes to it at all. All of sudden, when I clicked on the Send and Receive Mail button, the little wheel just turned and turned to the right of the email account and nothing happened. I called my ISP who told me everything was working fine on their side. They did notice that the account was logging in to pull mail, but it wasn't logging out again. They told me it was an issue on my side.
I deleted the account and re-added it and it made a difference for about 10 minutes and then stopped working again. I went as far as deleting that email account off of my server as well and creating a new one for myself, putting a forward on the old one so I wouldn't miss out on any emails. This worked for about 2 weeks and I thought it was fixed. Now, all of a sudden, I can't receive emails again. I seem to be able to send emails just fine from the offending account.
I receive them without any issues on my blackberry so it isn't my ISP. The problem is with my mac. I took all my accounts offline and back online 10 seconds later and still nothing changed. Now and then it will suddenly work but I will get ALL the same emails that I have been receiving over the last few weeks and NOTHING new. It's very odd to me but I'm really hoping someone will recognise this issue and be able to shed some light on the subject. I can't keep answering emails off of my blackberry so I need to fix this and I'm completely stumped.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Shut down the app and then Reset...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete the Calendar app from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
- Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
- Restart Calendar

Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here.

Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages. I have a new cell device, and this is happening on the new device also. The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider. How do I end this?

Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages. I have a new cell device (swtched from Droid to iPhone) and this is happening on the new device also. The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider, and not by Gmail. How do I end ûVerizon's forwarding my personal email to SMS?
Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something but how can Verizon have control over your personal GMail account? Sounds like you do have your email set up to forward to sms.
I have certain emails that are forwarded to me as SMS but that is an option that is enabled on the email side of things and is independent from Verizon.

Can't receive email when I'm in an LINUX network

Hi
I'm not the best in Network questions.
Just working for a company at the moment who has a linux server. I can go on their network and get conected to their data server via ip adress with mac osx and even with parallels. I can also go on the internet with safari and skype is working as well.
the only problem is that mail can't receive emails and msn isn't working as well.
does anyone know which settings I have to change to get into that network.
and is mail able to use the microsoft exchange server from that company?
thanks

I'm pretty sure their firewall is blocking the ports for POP3 and SMTP or they simply substituted the ports with others. Many companies with an own mail server block the ports and you're stating they have an Exchange server. So there's no way to get your mails unless they open the ports OR they tell you the substitute ports. As for your 2nd question: Yes, Mail is able to use it, just ask their admin for server name and login details. If there are problems the Exchange server may need to be configured to use the IMAP protocol.

Live mail is a POP system, everything will be deleted, so backup first.
