Can't receive new email

I have a new ipad2. Plus, use imac and iphone 3gs. The ipad 2 hasn't been picking up emails lately (past few days) both on yahoo and in applemail. Any idea what might be causing this problem?

Yes I was able to send but not receive - I actually was able to solve it myself
Everything on the menu bar was greyed out - so nothing there helped me @ all
Connection Doctor didn't show anything wrong
activity box was completely blank
shutdown - restart didn't work
I used the help option - still nothing
All the while my phone was vibrating like crazy with new emails
It was really frustrating & it seemed apple themselves don't have any real solutions to offer
My instincts told me to delete the email completely - so I did
After a few min I added the email account like a new one and it eventually worked - all my new emails were there, I still don't know why it stopped in the 1st place
Pretty much all the problems I run into I troubleshoot myself and find the solution

DEAD IN THE WATER--Can't remove email from server-can't receive new emails

I stopped receiving emails this morning upon startup, steps taken:
restarted mail
rebooted
backed up all inboxes
searched how to see message on server, found them and and can see one that says:
From: unknown sender Subject: No subject Date Recd: Today Time is always the current time.
I read a very old post from David Gimeno Gost who said:
"You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded by means of Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server. And if the account allows web access, you may also remove messages from the server that way.
Try removing from the server messages that have already been downloaded and/or the first message not downloaded yet (i.e. the message that Mail appears to be choking on)."
I can't remove it from the server either by itself or grouped with other messages. Interestingly enough, I can receive emails on my iPhone and I changed my email address in my Apple info and received the verification email, but still nothing else that's sitting on the server.
Went into my email account through Webmail to delete it and can see all emails except that one
opened Mail on my mac mini, I couldn't receive email there for my email inbox, however I was able to receive email in my employees inbox on the same server but different email address.
Is this a Charter issue or a Mail issue. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks Renee

I finally figured it out. The server had to be refreshed by calling my hosting service. 9 hours of diagnosis and a 2 minute fix.
Hope that will help someone else:)

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.

You have now exceeded your iCloud storage, including an additional amount provided to allow you to continue receiving email. As a result, you will not be able to send or receive new email messages with your iCloud email address until you free up storage space or buy more storage. I have 20GB remaining. WHat is the issue here?

Today I received the same message but have 4.6gb available from a total of 5.0gb. I also received the same message when i first set up my icloud account and icloud was virtually empty. Unfortunately the only way i can see to contact apple is to pay for a telephone call. If anyone knows what is going on i would appreciate knowing.

NOT RECEIVING NEW EMAILS

5 days ago my ipad3 stopped updating/receiving emails.
It is connected to internet and everything else is working, but the 'link' to my laptop seems to be broken.
I still of course see my new emails on my laptop!
I get my emails thru' Yahoo. I have icloud installed.
How can I get the ipad to update/receive new emails?
This seemed to coincide with losing my YOUTUBE. The icon on the desktop was replaced by WORLD TIME ZONES!
I don't know why!
Help please
Roy

Apple omitted the original YouTube app from iOS 6.
Look for this YouTube app at the App Store for an alternative >
I have iCloud installed
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Mail then reselect it.
Give iCloud a minute or two to sync.

My Gmail app tab is not glowing when I receive new email

On Firefox 4, when I received new email my Gmail app tab would glow. Now when I have Firefox 5, it no longer works. Is it a setting issue or a version issue?

HI,
I have found this to be somewhat intermittent.
I often miss the first "new Message" that is sent, no matter which service it is with.
However after I have replied at least once I can bring other apps to the front and then I hear the Sound and the Notification appears.
As of yet I have not discovered though, a way to make it work first time every time like it should.

HT1338 hello! I need help, how come I can't receive new messages on my mail in my Macbook Pro? but I can receive it on my Iphone4s. thanx!

I am not receiving new emails on my phone. I am receiving a pop-up that reads "cannot get mail" saying my server is not responding and to check my settings. My settings are correct. Help!

Looking for help.... I keep getting a pop-up message on my phone stating that my server is not responding and to check my settings. My settings are fine. Any advice on what I can do to receive new emails on my phone? Help!

For a few weeks I have been using the GMail app on my iPhone 4S to get mail without problem. When I wanted to check something in Apple's Mail app, which has worked well for years, I now get a message for my principal email address that the server is "not responding," even though the same server is responding to my GMail app. For some reason, when I dismissed the message in Mail, it popped up again, but then could be dismissed. Did something change in Mail that requires some imap addresses be deleted and readded? Any idea?
I would not want to think that Mail is programmed to befuddle if it is ignored too long.

Can't receive new mail from hotmail

Okay, so I got my MacBook Air two days ago and everything has been running fine, except for the fact that in the Mail app I can't receive email from my hotmail account past a certain point. When it goes to receive new mail for the account it lists itself as receiving 2320 incoming messages. I know that this figure is too high, perhaps about double what it should be getting from the account. However, the main problem lies in the fact that the Mail app only ever receives 455 of those messages, which leaves me missing pretty much every email I've received this year. The Mail app works fine for receiving new emails from my university email account (which uses pod51000.outlook.com for its incoming mail server, as opposed to hotmail's pop3.live.com). I've looked through the online support pages and looked for people having a similar problem here, but neither of these have been of any real help. I have no idea what the problem could be, so any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
If any additional information would be helpful then I'd be more than happy to provide it.

had the same problem and solved it!

Transferred all ok, receiving new emails but inbox...

Hi,
Transferred all ok, receiving new emails but inbox only showing past 7 days worth of mail... how can I retrieve last two months!
Transferred on my imac (mail for mac) and iphone with no real issues, sub folders all ok.. but I can only see past 7 days worth of mail in my inbox.
Is there any way I can retreive older messages as bt web mail is the same... goes back to the 7th only!
Cheers\

Yes this has happened many times now judging by the posts that I have read. I do think the mods should investigate just what is happening here with holding for an hour or so only to be told that "You are number 2 in the queue." and then to be cut off - this is truly mindblowingly awful. There is no wonder that people lose their rag on this forum occasionally about this lack of care.
Mistakes and embarrasing goofs in e-mails are only discovered when you've sent them!

One of my POP mail accounts stop receiving new email

I have done everything that other postings say (remove the "AlreadyDownloaded) but I can only get emails as of Jan 9, 2006 and no further.
I can send emails, but Apple Mail won't retrieve newer emails from my server.
I checked and I can see/seend/receive emails from a webmail, even Entourage works fine.
What can I do?

I meant to say "stopped" receiving new email...

My phone can`t download new email

Hi guy and gals out there. I`ve got an iPhone 4 running ISO 4.3.5 (8L1). i`ve been having a problem with my email. Specifically my main email account. It`s a yahoo account. Then bar appears saying downloading how many emails i`ve received but it stops a couple a seconds later and looks again and try's to download them but can`t. The only way I can get any new email for my main yahoo account is to log into it from the yahoo site. A message comes up sometimes saying something about the pop.3 settings asking if there upto date. which they are I`ve tried on wifi and 3G no joy. And i`ve even turned to phone off and back on again after closing all the apps.
please help.

Hi, Using MAC OSX 10.6.8 and have intermittent issues with receiving new emails - sending is OK. I've tried the workarounds (take offline & take online), quitting mail etc - no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm using MAC OSX 10.6.8 and have intermittent issues with receiving new emails - sending is OK. I've tried the workarounds (take offline & take online), quitting mail etc - no luck. Have cleared space, checked Window - Doctor and server has green light. Mail Activity shows 47 emails waiting to download, iPad and iPhone download them all OK - no extra big files stopping the download either. In the past, quitting mail has worked, but not today... Any suggestions?

Not sure about ATT but plain yahoo.com seems to be okay. Can you also please check this in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile].
