Can't receive Outlook messages to Mail

Hi,
I have been using my Mail account forever. A new potential client is using Outlook to send me email. I receive the subject line of the email. But there is nothing in the body of the message. I end up calling the person to find out what he/she wanted to tell me. Is there an update to Mail that will work well with others?
Thanks, Alison

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Perhaps he composed the e-mail as an HTML e-mail. Unfortunately, Outlook messes this up, and doesn't even remotely verify as true HTML. It is closer to a Frontpage composition. Remind your sender, not everyone uses Outlook, and to read this

And stick to composing HTML e-mail only for others he knows has Outlook.

  • Can't receive new messages using "Mail"

    My MacBook Pro's "Mail" stopped receiving new messages!? It appears to be continuously trying to receive messages but nothing comes through. Messages sent to my ".me" account appears on my ipad and ipod but not in my "Mail" Software on my MacBook! All my settings appear to be correct (although i'm no expert). I've tried using "Connection Doctor" and the "Mobile Me" account has a message in the "Details" that says: "Logging into account..." but it never connects! Conversely, the "smtp.me.com..." accounts has a message saying: "Connection and login to server succeeded".
    In addition, I should mention that I can send messages (i.e. they get sent) but the "blue bar" in the "MAIL ACTIVITY" window always stops halfway and never moves again. The message sent also never appears in the "SENT" folder even though i have specified that it should in "Preferences".
    Finally... I cannot quit "Mail" without using "Force Quit".
    What is wrong? How can I fix it?

    Thanks Ernie for attempting to help... the port is set on "993"; the "use SSL" is checked. The "Authentication" is set to "Password". However, I did not know I needed a "password"!? I never used one before when i checked mail!? Anyway, if I need a password to check my mail, how come "mail" does not ask me for one?
    You may want to know that "IMAP Path Prefix" is empty and "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" is checked. I have no idea what theses things mean but that's the way it is. Should anything be changed?

  • 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!

    hi there! can somebody please help me. I can't receive new messages in my MacBook Pro, what should I do? I can read them in my IPhone though. Thanx!

    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

  • IPhone 5c - can't receive group messages after updating to IOS 8.0.2

    I have an IPhone 5c and I updated to the IOS 8.0.2 yesterday afternoon and now I can't receive group messages. I have rebooted my phone and reset my network settings along with turning IMessage off & on, turning group messaging off & on.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this?

    Ok.  Just got off the phone with Applecare.  We finally figured out what my problem was.  Before iCloud, I had a .mac account.  So, my phone had two email accounts, 1. iCloud 2. mac.com accounts.  Applecare had me delete completely both accounts from my phone, leaving no mail accounts at all.  Then I added a new iCloud account.  Put in my email address and password, then everything worked from there.  Sounds simple.  Good luck to the rest of you.  Hope it's the same fix.  And a big "thank you" to Xavier at Applecare.

  • Can not find some messages in Mail using search

    I have some problems with Mail.app I can not find some messages in Mail using search, the strange thing is that sometimes mail search finds some messages, but after rebuilding spotlight index the search displays other messages with the all messages searched using same search criteria. I have also tried to delete Envelope index file from the Mail folder in usr/library and forced mail to import all mailboxes but it started to crash importing some of mailboxes - I deleted the messages from that mailboxes, imported remaining mailboxes and tried to rebuild mailbox, but everything without a successes. Any ideas how to solve it?

  • TS4268 I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE - I HAVE MY IMESSAGE TURNED OFF BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TEXTS GOING TO ALL MY ACCOUNTS - HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS PLEASE HELP - MISSING SEVERAL IMPORTANT COMMUNICATIONS...

    I CAN NOT RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE USING IMESSAGE

    On an iPhone your iMessages will go to your phone number.
    You can select another email to use on iPod or iPad.
    Go to settings
    Messages
    Send and receive
    Check your phone number and uncheck the common Apple ID you share so your messages will not go to other devices.

  • All of a sudden I can not receive text messages on my MOTOX. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I can send them, but can't receive them.

    My MOTO X was working fine, then all of a sudden, I can not receive text messages. I have checked the settings and they look correct to me, and I have done everything the web site recommends, except wiping the phone and starting over, to try and fix it. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you resolve it?
    Thanks so much.

        That's strange that your Moto X wont receive any text. Thank you for trouble shooting the issue. Let's see what's going on! Does your device have any physical or liquid damage? Does anyone else have an issue with calling or texting? What zip code are you in?

  • Why can I receive text messages but not send?

    Why can I receive text messages but not send. This has been happening for about 10 hours.

    Thanks for the response. Must be smart phones. My daughter has a dumb phone and she can send out. I tried deleting my text messages on the Verizon website, but they won’t delete. It must be on their end. Chat line was busy forever, until they shut it down.

  • Why can I receive but not send mail?

    Why can I receive but not send mail?

    With sparse information you give I would venture that you have not set up the correct Outgoing Mail Server settings in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Contact your ISP for their set up.

  • I can't receive haptic messages on my apple watch from other apple watches

    I can't receive haptic messages from other people with apple watches. I can send them to other people and they receive them, and they can send them to me but i don't get them. I have turned my watch on and off, and i have reset it twice and unpaired it and re-paired it a couple of time too but i still don't receive them. Can anyone please help?

    Hey Roub99 . I have found out what is going on. It has to do with the iMessage settings on your phone. You need to change your iMessage setting on you phone to start new conversations from the email address that you use to for you apple ID not your iCloud account.
    To do this:
    1.  go to settings on your phone
    2. go to messages
    3. go to send and receive
    4. change the start new conversation to you apple ID.
    You will also need to make sure that anyone that you would like to use the haptic messages with has their setting the same. If you use the iCloud email address it won't work.
    Hope this helps out guys

    Turn on iMessage in settings, then others can send you messages by addressing them to the email address you set in Settings>Messages>Receive At.

  • Can't receive text messages from other iphone users but can receive them from non-iphone users

    I had to recently reinstall mavericks to my MacBook and suddenly I haven't been able to receive text messages from iphone users on my iphone.  I can send them but not receive them.  Recently I was able to receive a text from an iphone user who turned off his imessages before he texted me.  That came through. Of course, this would be difficult to ask every iphone user i know to turn off imessages in order text me.  I've also tried to turn off my imessage on my macbook, iphone and ipad and still can't receive them.  Lastly, I've also tried resetting my networking settings and that didn't help either.  Any suggestions???

    I am having the same problem minus the fact that I don't have a Mac computer I just can't receive any messages from iPhone users and I can't turn my iMessage back on at all it keeps just turning it off every time I try to turn it on. any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I can send, but I can't receive texts messages from just one person

    I can send,  but I can't receive texts messages from just one person.....thanks

        Hello railenemarie16, let's solve this mystery together! Have you tried deleting your contact from her device and then re-adding? Also, have her send you a message manually instead of from the saved contact. Did you have an iPhone previously before the Note 3 and used iMessage? Keep us posted!
