Can´t receive eMail with Edge

Hi,
I have a strange problem: working with EDGE, it is impossible to receive eMails (.mac / yahoo). Sending mails works fine. Also receiving mails with WLan works.
This happend when I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.0.1.
Any Ideas?
Thx
René

Delete that e-mail account and re-add it if you are able to. Then see if the problem has been resolved.
Sometimes, this may be due to the incoming server error and should be fixed by the e-mail service provider.

Can't receive email with Mail 4.4 - but iPad does

Hi guys,
I have a strange problem with Mail 4.4: I have multiple email accounts that I manage through Mail - all work fine except my gmail account, which stopped receiving emails about a week ago. Here are some details:
1. The account constantly shows the "busy" icon (rotating circle) but Mail Activity window does not show anything.
2. I can send email from the account - but not receive any emails for this account with Mail.
3. I access the same account through my iPad and iPhone - both work perfectly fine (i.e. get all emails), it's just Mail that does not receive.
4. The Connection Doctor shows no errors - all lights are "green"
5. I can access the corresponding gmail account through Safari without problem - all incoming emails are shown correctly
6. The account is set up as IMAP
There is one occurrence that is probably related to the problem and could help with a solution:
1. Mail 4.4 created a new folder called "Recovered Messages" for the gmail account and started saving tons of messages in it - or copies of one message to be precise. This happened at the exact point in time when Mail stopped receiving emails for this account. The email in this folder is one that I attempted to sent, but never did: I composed it and dragged some attachments into the compose window. One of these - accidentally - turned out to be 25MB so I figured that email is too large and closed/deleted the email before sending it.
It now seems that mail is reloading this gigantic 25+MB email over and over again into the "Recovered Messages" folder. I tried to find that email in Drafts, Sent or Outbox folders but it is nowhere to be found - I have no idea from where Mail loads this over and over again.
Can you help? Many thanks in advance!

First time I can answer my own question
I did some more research and found a thread about the issue of large emails getting stuck and reloaded into Recovered Messages folder:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2153401
This one did the trick for me (posted by Miguel Lira):
If you're experiencing the "Recovered Messages" issue it may be related to offline processes that are failing when you open iMail. For me the fix was to open a terminal window and delete all the files in the following folder: ~/Library/Mail/[email protected]/.OfflineCache

Can't receive emails with Sympatico

I have 2 email accounts with Bell Sympatico. The owner account is functioning fine; the 2ndary account no longer can receive email, but can still send. I get a message saying
"the POP server POP6.sympatico.ca"rejected the password for 'b1...' please re-enter your password or cancel."
I can still send emails, and interestingly, I can access the mail from this particular account with the webmail at Sympatico/MSN. I have changed NO settings; all I did Monday was to upgrade from the old 'getEmail' to the new one with more storage (MSN/Sympatico). I've tried POP1, POP2, POP3, you get the idea. Nothing. tried their other suggestion of:
8. Under My incoming mail (POP3) server, type in : pophm.sympatico.ca
9. Under My outgoing mail (SMTP) server, type in : smtphm.sympatico.ca
(In spite of me making it painfully clear I was on a Mac with Apple Mail, I got suggestions for Outlook, etc...) sigh
I've talked to sympatico on the phone (from India...)tried their suggestion. Nothing. Should I delete the account and re-create it?
I am tearing my hair out. Yes, there is that clumsy webmail workaround, but I want things to work properly, and the Sympatico worker bees are 8000 miles away...Suggestions?

I know that Sympatico have 2 type of e-mails:
the "old ones" that have the same settings since Sympatico started 10 years ago. Here are the information would need to setup your Symaptico e-mail in Mail:
Username: b1**##
Password: access password
Incoming mail (POP3): pop6.sympatico.ca
Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp1.sympatico.ca
Port server 25 for Outgoing (SMTP)
Port server 110 for Incoming (POP3)
The other Sympatico e-mail is the enhance one with MSN. The settings are differents and the authentification is different. Any new Sympatico accounts since June 2004 are on that new plaform. Here are the information would need to setup Mail:
Username: [email protected]
Password: e-mail password
Incoming mail (POP3): pophm.sympatico.ca
Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtphm.sympatico.ca
Verify that your server is set to requires anthentiation with agin your Sympatico e-mail and Sympatico password;
Both servers, Outgoing and Incoming, require a secure connection (SSL)
If you are not sure witch is what try to login online at: http://www.sympaticomail.sympatico.ca it will tell you if can upgrade to new enhance e-mail or if you sign in like a Hotmail account if you are already enhance.
I hope this help....
Cheers

Can't receive email with large attachment. why?

A friend sends an email to me with a large attachment. It is rejected and he gets the following response.
{edited for privacy}:
206.46.232.11 failed after I sent the message.
Remote host said: 552 5.3.4 a message size of 20483 kilobytes exceeds the size limit of 20480 kilobytes computed for this transaction
The message is small, but the attachment is large. Is something wrong or am I really limited to receiving relatively tiny attachments?
My Yahoo email account receives the same email with no problem at all. Can someone tell me what's up?

First of all, I wouldn't consider 20 MB to be "relatively tiny," but I suppose that's open to interpretation.
Taken from Verizon's Support site:
How large of an attachment can I send or receive through email?
When you are using email, the Verizon web-based email application, you can send attachments that are up to 8 MB (megabytes) in size. Emails sent using 3rd party email programs like Outlook, Lotus Notes, or Eudora, however; can contain attachments up to 20 MB....

Can't send email with EDGE and Earthlink ISP

I cannot send email using EDGE. Receiving email is ok. My ISP is Earthlink. I contacted Earthlink support and they admit they don't have a clue. I have trid the setting specified by Iphone users guide, Apple mail setup asst., Apple support docs, Earthlink, etc. Nothing has worked.
Thanks for any help

Thanks for everyone's input. For the most part,I got the same suggestions from everyone here,the Apple support docs, the Earthlink support docs, and Earthlink support rep. All to no avail. For others that have this problem.
THE SOLUTION: You must plug in your phone to itunes, uncheck to sync, and eject the iphone. Then mannually setup the acccount as directed by the Apple support docs, same settings as shown in the Earthlink support docs.
This worked for me.

Can't receive email with big attachments

My nephew has sent me an email, to <<[email protected]>> with a number of very large photo attachments. I'm on vacation and trying to retrieve my email over a slow broadband connection at the local public library. My Mail is stuck trying to download my nephew's email, and won't download anything else. I can see my mail on Mac.com,, but I would rather use my Mail software. I hope that when I return home, my broadband connection will be capacious enough to download this email, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions would be really welcome. Thanks, John Vialet
Powerbook and G-4 Desktop Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Well, I have the same problem. I tried to delete the specific account and redo it - but the ** email was still there. I've gone to the webmail site for the account, and deleted it there. It's deleted from my laptop, but keeps coming back on my iPhone. So, my iPhone is set to show 25 emails, but I don't understand what you mean by "send yourself 25 messages". Sounds like your solution works, and I'd sure like to try it. Looks like Apple needs to come up with an easier solution too. Thanks.

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.

TS3103 All of a sudden can't receive email on Mail client. Sessions with service provider (Att/yahoo) and Apple have yielded no results!

All of a sudden can't receive email on Mail client. Sessions with service provider (att/yahoo) and Apple have yielded no results! Recently upgraded to Lion, but have received email since. Anyone having the same problem. Apple says service provider problem, service provider say it's the mail client. Anyone had this problem???

No. My frustration with the problem just led me to begin the process convert all my email to a gmail client. However, after some time all my mail with att/yahoo has been coming through as before. Go figure. Still will convert to gmail.

HT201320 Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

Hi Nortarian,
The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
Hope this helps ....

That is (or was) a Mobile Me server, now closed down. The correct servers are
imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com (outgoing), but this should have been set automatically, did you completely sign out of iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud and is Mail activated in Mail, Contacts and Calendars as well as iCloud?
If you are still signed in at System Preferences>Mobile Me, sign out.

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!
Mellowe

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

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.

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.

Mail not receiving emails with attachments

Hi
I'd appreciate any suggestions in relation to the following.
My wife and I both run computers from the one account, Mail on her PowerBook logging in through my name and password. Until recently, we have had no problems at all. However, it has come to light that my wife has not been receiving emails with attachments for some time. To test this, my wife sent an email with an attachment to her home email address from work, and copied it to me. I received the email and the attachment on my PC; my wife's Mac did not receive the email. I then forwarded the email with the attachment to her computer; this was successful. This would suggest some problem with her Mail account on the Mac. However, the configuration has not been changed. Is it possible for it just to stop working for some reason?

I'm using a PC for my email at the moment. I'm not sure if all my wife's emails have been downloaded. However, Mail has made a Home/Mail/MessageUidsAlreadyDowloaded file. This was created when I sent an email to test what happened. I was unable to make Mail download all her emails, so I guess they must have gone from the server. She has a different email address to mine, but it's run from the same ISP account; as I said, she logs in, automatically, through Mail to her email. I have contacted the ISP about it, but they are unable to see any trace of emails that colleagues have sent my wife and which she sends home to herself. All of these files happen to have attachments, but I cannot see any setting of Mail which would account for them being rejected. Also, I can't be entiurely sure that only emails with attachments don't get through; there may be others, 'unattached'.
Thanks for your continued assistance.
