Can't receive incoming email

can't receive incoming emails

I posted this in someone else's question, but it answers the same problem.  I just discovered this last night, so I'm hoping I can help other folks having the same issue!!   
Question for you... do you use Outlook to retrieve your emails on a desktop PC?  If so, then you're probably clearing the email server before your Treo can ping it & get your emails.  I finally discovered this on my own after fighting with it for about 4 weeks.  I use Outlook 2007, but would assume the path is somewhat the same for previous versions.  Try this:
In Outlook, go to: Tools > Account Settings .. click on your email account & click "Change" .. click the "More Settings" button .. go to the Advanced tab .. click the button that says "Leave a copy of messages on the server", and then set the next option to "Remove from server after 2 days".
That did it for me.  Hope it works for you!!

  • How Receiving Incoming Email works?

    Hi I would like to know how receiving incoming email works?  SharePoint supports incoming emails for library/calendar
    list/discussion
    board/announcements
    list   I did whole setup to receive incoming emails but what i am not still clear is , do I need to request separate email ID in AD for each type of list/library/discussion board??  I learnt we need to specify drop folder name while SMTP
    configuration from there all .EML msgs will be routed to respective library/list, but my question is how that get routed.  I know there is "SP incoming receiving emil" timer job which runs every minute or so and picksup .eml msg but how does
    it route to respective library/list.  Will it be possible to have single incoming receiving emaild ID for all resources OR do I need to have one-one mapping of email ID for each library/list.  Please let me know if you aware or any article or guide. 
    In summary , For example if i have 10 lists to enable to receive incoming emails then do i need to have 10 email IDs created in AD&Exchange or can it be done using single emailID in AD but manipulate it either domain level or exchange level.  
    Perhaps I could think some segratation based on some metadata but user may not fallow the same while they send email. ( user could send mails with subject , w/o subject...otherwise i was thinking some email template as alternative but the solution i am more
    interested in , will it be possible to segrate emails based exchange settings or AD settings while having single email ID for all . 

    Hello,
    You don't need to create emails for each lists . You have required only one email id and by using that you can configure Incoming email setting in Sharepoint.
    For the same you can follow below steps . 
    1) Open Sharepoint Central Administration. 
    2) Navigate to to System Sttings ->Configure incoming e-mail settings.
    and do the below settings
    Enable sites on this server to receive e-mail? -> Yes
    Settings mode: -> Automatic
    Use the SharePoint Directory Management Service to create distribution groups and contacts? -> No
    E-mail server display address: -> youremailserver.domain.com, this is the default
    Safe E-Mail Servers -> Accept mail from all e-mail servers
    I hope this will help you to resolve your problem .

  • Upgraded to Mountain Lion a week ago suddenly unable to receive incoming emails from Mail.6

    Upgraded to Mountain Lion a week ago.  Suddenly unable to receive incoming emails from Mail.6
    Can successfully send outgoing messages. 
    Have completed following tasks to no avail:
    1)          When click on "Take all accounts online" and entering password for gmail / looking at Mail Connection Doctor: Got Green light, Mail was able to connect to the Internet. But…
    "Trying to log in to this Goggle Imap account failed.  Verify username and password are correct."
    I have verified username and password being correct. 
    2)          System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars typed in name, email address & gmail password and got this message.
    "Unable to verify account name and password."
    3)          Mail> preferences>account>password.  Confirmed correct password, name, email address and imap "address" Then to Advanced & confirmed correct port . Restarted computer.
    "lay person terms" appreciated. 
    Thanks!

    Found solution, Yeay!   No coincidence.  Mountain Lion (osx 10.8, upgraded) is not compatible with Gmail if one has 2-step verification set up on their gmail security settings. 
    There are 2 options to solving problem
    1)   https://discussions.apple.com/message/19109209#19109209) 
    This will take you through the process to disable 2-step security feature on gmail security page. Thank You  iPatA.
    2)   http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=ch_b/0/SmsAuthConfig& answer=185833
    This will take you through the process of assigning an "application specific password" to upgraded Mail 6.0 for successful communication between Mail 6.0 Mountain Lion while keeping a 2 step verification process if you prefer. 
    Thanks for you energy & effort rkaufmann87.
    Sincerely, much appreciated. 
    I love this Apple community.

  • My Ipad Air and my Iphone have both stopped receiving incoming emails.   What do I do?emails.

    My Ipad air and my iphone 4s stopped receiving incoming email messages.  What do I do.

    Thats a tough one, I've gone through many transfers for my computers or friends computers, have only seen this one time.  I can only make a couple suggestions of what I'd do not that its the "best practice" or anything like that but my best results ended up being a TimeMachine transfer but I do need to find out more info.
    What OSX is running on your former machine and whats on your new machine?
    When was the last time you used your Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions or Repair Disk on your old machine?
    Its always a good idea to do the above steps and also make sure you're running the latest version of that particular OSX whatever that may be.  I started using TimeMachine with an external USB drive which seemed to be the most productive for me but does have the same result if migrating from an older Mac.
    Hope this helps somewhat

  • IPhone 4 Can't receive incoming calls and sms after 3G has been activated

    I can't receive incoming calls and sms on my iPhone 4 after the 3G connection has been activated and used actively by me. Outgoing calls and messages do work and as long as I use the Wi-Fi connection everything's fine but the problem appears after switching to 3G. Any help? Thx in advance!  

    I think the next step is to do a reset by holding the sleep and home buttons down at the same time until the Apple logo appears.  If you haven't done this before, keep holding the buttons when the turn off slider appears.  The screen will go black and after what seems like an eternity, actually several seconds, the Apple logo will appear.  When the logo appears, release the buttons.

  • I forgot my icloud password and i also lost my email account password, so i can´t receive an email to restore my account, what can i do?

    hi i need to solve this problem becasue i was working for a company and i used to the email from my work but i left the job and i lost the email, so i try to deactive the icloud but i forgot the password and i can´t receive an email confirmstion to restore this because y also lost the work email, please if anybody could tell me how i can erase my old user and activate the new i´ll be very grateful
    my new email is [email protected], thanks

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

    Hello Ashik, I received a message few days ago, telling me that my iCloud account would be downloaded to 5GB by Sept. 30. Until here everything is ok.

    Hi JavaBrat,
    I'm assuming that you only use Yahoo mail on the web and not through a mail client, such as Outlook or Thunderbird?
    Also, make sure all of your Yahoo emails are going directly to the Yahoo inbox and not to sub folders or junk folders. Only the inbox will be delivered to your BlackBerry. 
    If the above doesn't help, feel free to send me your PIN via Private Message so that I can see if there are any issues on our side with your account integration.
    Thanks!

  • Why is it that I can't receive the email to reset my security questions and answers.. My email information is all accurate but I'm not receiving the email and I've even checked spam and junk folders.. Can someone please help me please???

    Are you able to receive any mail at all? If not, make sure that all of your information for mail is accurate in settings again. if you still have nothing, go to your email through safari. (example: www.yahoo.com) If you do not see the emails here either, it is a problem with the password reset server not your mail app.

  • I can´t receive no email on my iCloud account

    I received the message from iCloud telling me that since Sept. 30, my storage would be reduced to 5 GB, since that moment, I can´t receive no email on my iCloud account. Of course I´m not using more space than permited, I have 3.5 GB available.
    Thanks in advance.

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
