Can't receive email on mac but can on iphone

Can't receive e-mail on iMac but I can on my iPhone. Please advise.

Hello, who is your provider, the part after the @sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the exact message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

Not receiving emails on desktop but ok on Iphone

Hi all,
Don't know if I've posted this to the right forum - could go into the Iphone, or applications but here goes.
I'd be really grateful if someone could tell me why some of the messages are not arriving to my Mail on my Imac, but they all come in on my Iphone.
I've set up dedicated IP numbers for both the Imac and the Iphone, as originally it was automatically finding the IP address. It has worked for a while, but now, I'm having the same problem.
thanks,
Robin

You may have better luck re-posting in the Mail and Address Book forum. Because Mail is part of OS X you will find it by clicking Apple Support Communities then typing Snow Leopard. Once you are in the Snow Leopard forum you can narrow the search by clicking Refine This List where you will see post's related to Mail and Address Book.

I cannot receive emails in outlook but can send them

Hi does anyone know how to fix the problem of not receiving emails on mac through outlook in office 2011?

Oh, you're using outlook for Mac. This is a problem outlook has working with sync services in the background. Make sure outlook is up to date, but my friend had no end of issues. One good reason why I stay well clear of Microsoft software for Mac. Try this forum.

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with the macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network though. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with two Macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network and it's telling me I'm connected but Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

Thank you, I've tried the support tips (resetting the network, checking security settings, etc.) and rebooting the network devices several times to no avail. I've actually been working on this for several days (when I can afford to have the network down).
What I have to determine is what has changed in the setup...from when it WAS working just fine with all devices.

I can't receive email in Mac Mail but I can send them

I use two email programmes on my Mac Mini - Thunderbird and Mac Mail. I can receive and send emails on Thudnerbird and I can send emails on Mac Mail but I can't receive the. Next to the mailbox is a squiggly line like a wave which I presume is the promblem but I don't know what that problem is.
I don't have this problem on my MacBook Air.
The Mac Mini is using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
Thanks

If an option exists on networksolutions to allow you to log in to your email via your web browser then access your mail via webmail then try deleting the offending message that way.

OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

TS2621 I have a Mac desktop for home and recently bought new iPhone 4s. I was receiving email on both, but all of a sudden am only receiving email on iPhone and not on iMac at home. How do I remedy this?

I have an iMac desktop for home and recently bought an iPhone 4s. I was receiving my email on both, but now it only goes to my phone. How do I remedy this?

My problem is the opposite. My desktop apparently removes the mail from the mail servers before my iPad can read it.
One of my email accounts is a POP account. mail has a setting to leave the mail on the server, but I can't see that it makes any difference. The mail going to that account still doesn't make it to my iPad. I also have an IMAP account, but I don't see a similar setting.
I would like to be able to use my desktop as my main email platform, but I also want to see the latest using my iPad when I am traveling.

Can not send email from .mac account from the iPhone

I'm having problems sending email from my iPhone from my .Mac Account and says the outgoing server timed out. Any Suggestions?

This error message indicates you are not using the correct server port for .Mac's SMTP server.
Did you transfer the account settings from your Mac to the iPhone automatically via the iTunes sync process or did you manually create your .Mac account on the iPhone?
If the former, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP Server selection, select the Server Settings button below for .Mac's SMTP server.
If 25 is available in the Server Port field, enter 587 in place of 25 and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting and then re-sync your iPhone making sure your .Mac account is selected for account settings to be transferred to the iPhone.

Not receiving email on computer but I am on my blackberry

Hi all, this is my first post here.
About a month ago I got a new blackberry 7130e and I used pocketmac software to get my computer and it to talk. I was receiving email on it as well as on my computer like normal but about 4 days ago I stopped receiving it on my computer. Every once in a while one gets through to the computer but all of them seem to get through to the blackberry.
I haven't changed anything in mail. I can send emails fine. I have preferences set to remove from server after a week. I use comcast for my isp and Verizon for my phone. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for any help.

Wackman, welcome to the discussions. I do not use a Blackberry, but have had a similar issue with my handheld before. You said that you have emails set to delete from the server after a week. Is this on both the Mac AND the Blackberry? The behaviour you are describing, given Blackberry's Push email capacity, is that messages are being sent the Blackberry immediately and being deleted from the server by the handheld, hence being nonexistent next time your Mac connects to your email server and looks for mail.

Inbox not receiving email on mac mail

Hello,
I have a problem with my Mail app on my mac (MBA 2013 running 10.9.1) with one of my two iCloud account, where by one of them inbox is no longer receving any messages and only old messages were showing in the inbox. Account 'A' for is fine syncing mail correctly inbox/sent/junk and all but account 'B' for some reason was not syncing inbox or anyother folder. What I have done is remove the mail account 'B' only through System Preference>iCloud restarted my computer then restarted the computer and checked the mail.
Now all old messages are no longer showing in account 'B' but 'A' is working perfectly fine. On the troubled account junk and send mail are syncing but inbox is not. I have done a repair permission and recevied the following message: "Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired." Although when searching it seems that I can safely ignor this message according to apple but I only bring it up in case there is a connection.
One thing to note I am receiving email on my iPhone with the troubled account it's just that I am not receving any emails on my mac mail.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Well after a few hours it started working again ... I have no explanation for this I just kept my inbox highligted.
At least this maybe a reference or people that go through the same problem to just give it time

Archiving/ Saving sent and received Emails in Mac Mail???

Hello.
I want to switch web hosts, and before doing so I want to save/ archive all of my past sent and received emails.
Is there a way to do so?
I know I can use gmail, not exactly sure how to do so but I bet it's not real hard, but I am wondering if there is a way to actually take all of the emails from my webmail and save them offline? Does Mac Mail do this? Can I save them as files? There are literally thousands of emails, so a way to save them to my local drive would be ideal....
any ideas?

You can create a New Mailbox to correspond with each Inbox and Sent mailbox, and then Copy the messages into those. At that point you can have a copy of each message in both the Inbox/Sent and the On My Mac mailboxes.
However, if your email address will stay exactly the same (is associated with a hosted Domain) then you may be able to merely change the name of the Incoming server in the Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information and continue with the same accounts. This might not be workable because of the inexactness of when you old/new Host swap responsibility. If not, then remove each original account, set each one up again in conformity with info from your new Host, and then move the messages from the the On My Mailboxes you created above, into the corresponding Inbox and Sent of the new accounts.
