Cannot receive email but can send email

I have tried everything except deleting the account and re-installing.It says cannot connect to server.What should I do? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, kenmac1960.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The easiest way to troubleshoot this issue would be to delete the account and add it back to the iOS device. Below, I have included two e-mail troubleshooting articles. The first article covers basic email troubleshooting. The second article will assist you if the email account you are experiencing issues with is a Gmail account.

Cannot RECEIVE mail - But can send :(

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong here? I'm switching from MS Entourage to the new version of Mail. I've copied all the settings across from Entourage (which is still sending & receiving mail after the upgrade from 10.4.10 to 10.5) The connection Doctor is saying that everything is connected etc I've even set up a mail account to my home email, which i can send & receive from...
Account type is POP, email entered, password entered, incoming & outgoing mail servers entered, there is no error messages coming up. I create a message in Mail, addressed to myself - nothing happens... ten mins later I fire up Entourage, and receive the message I sent from Mail!?

Call your mail service provider. Have them tackle it.

Cannot receive BBM but can send

Hi,
Today my BBM just screwed me up. I cannot receive BBM from particular people but they can receive my BBM. The status of the text is always D but they already read the text. Also, I cannot receive invitation to a group. I never get the invitation even tho they send it many times.
Any solution? I did remove the battery several times and wiped the data but still cannot receive message.

Hello t36uh2007
I recommend to call your carrier first to find out is there something wrong with their network service as there might be temporary network problem related with your BBM problem. For BBM Group, you may need to update BBM app to the latest version from BlackBerry World.
Also, delete your phone number in your profile as this is open forums. Go to My Setting at top left of this page > Personal Profile and change it to your carrier name.
Good luck.

I cannot receive mail , but can send it , any ideas ?

This is what appeared on my .mac account .
I am unable to receive mail .
Can anyone provide any details ?

If this is your iCloud email account, sometimes removing and adding it back will fix things. To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again. You may need to open Mail and go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts, select your iCloud account, select the Account Information tab, then be sure your .mac address is selected in the Alias drop-down list.

Cannot receive MMS but can send

Hi, first off i'd like to start by saying i own a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS 16GB and it is on T-Mobile network. I can send MMS just fine but if i get an MMS from someone off of my network (like ATT) it says that the media content was not included due to... i have tried several different methods to receive them but nothing works. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Since you are using T-Mobile's network, you need to contact T-Mobile.

Cannot receive mails but can send them

Not receiving mail, but can send it

Out of no where, my @att.net email is not receiving email in Mail, but it can still send it, no problem. I have the email address set up as a POP, with the incoming mail server as pop.att.yahoo.com (I also tried pop.mail.yahoo.com). I don't know what else to do to relieve my mail again. I know that emails are coming in because they show up on my blackberry and on yahoo.com, but not in Mail. Don't know what happened to make it stop receiving.
I don't know if this matters, but I now have 10.6 (but this problem started before I installed it).

Ernie, thanks, deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 fixed my POP account but not the mac.com IMAP...continues to gear spin without end, even when account is taken offline...i tried turning off SSL (reverts to port 143 from 993 here in Aussie) etc, nor is rebuilding effective...account info does not seem to load either: spinning 'calculating sizes'...i think this relates to 10.6.1 but cannot be sure, definitely did not have this issue with 10.6...iphone/webmail continues to work unaffected.
any other prefs might be deleted to encourage mail to function normally?

Outlook on PC's not receiving mail but can send fine

I have found that my real issue with my virtual users is not the virtual domain at all. In fact it works fine with any Apple mail client. But all my Outlook and Outlook Express users out there on their PC's can't seem to get their mail. They can send but not receive and I have no idea how to fix this. I have ben researching and googling to see if anyone knows how to make this work but I haven't found an answer. Anyone know how to fix this?
They are all connecting via POP on port 110 and I show them connecting fine in the server log. But mail is not being pulled down from their mailbox to their client. I have APOP and Clear setup on the server for authentication but still not working.

I'm having fun answering my own questions. So I figured out that if the Outlook clients actually use their comxpwebchurchname then outlook gets their mail no problem. To use their alias of [email protected] doesn't work.

Cannot control/observe but can send commands and update apps

I've researched the discussions here and basically came up with several ways of fixing the problem. Also I see I am not the only one with this particular problem.
Ok with that said, here are the details.
I am running a G5 behind a linksys wireless router (g5 is hard wired to the ethernet port of the router), my router is set up to open ports 5900 and 3283 just for ARD 2.0. The ports are pointing to my mac's IP address given by the router. I currently use optimum online for my internet usage, so basically I have a static IP address. From work I can access my G5, control/observe, update, etc...
I also have set up ARD on my mothers imac, she sits behind a verizon dsl modem, and an old netgear router I used at one point. I have the router set up the same way, ports 5900 and 3283 are opened up for tcp and udp. From her machine I can actually connect to my G5 at home and control/observe, etc..
My main problem is when I am on the G5 and try to connect to her machine, I can only send messages, update software but cannot visually observe or control her mac. I've gone and had her change the tcp port to 10000 and no luck with control or observe. I then had her delete ARD with an application I found over the net (appdelete). I had her install ARD client and set it up from scratch again. Nothing... I have spoken with verizon IT and they aren't blocking any ports. I am at my wits end, can't figure this one out. OH, I also tried disconnecting the router and had my mother connect the dsl modem straight to the imac and still cannot control or observe. Within ARD It tells me what program she is running, etc... because of port 3283 but that's about it. I know everyone here has given alot of information. But is there something I am missing?
Could it be a hardware issue (mac or router)? or software?

I've tested timbuktu pro 8.6 and I can access my G5 at home the same way as ARD, I just had to open up the port 5901 and set up the user prefs. My only issue is going to be setting up my mothers imac with timbuktu. crossing my fingers to see if it works tonight. If there are any other thoughts out there please feel free to tell me.

IOS5 SMS inbox full error? Has anyone else gotten this? Can't receive texts but can send them out.

Upon restarting my phone I receive all the missed texts. However I still won't receive them again until I restart again. Here's the actual error message: http://i.imgur.com/VHG6w.jpg

i updated to ios5 about 3 hours ago and im facing the similar problem whereby they keep telling me that my 'sms mailbox is full.... etc' i called my carrier which is my service provider cus i thought it was an error on their side that i wasn't receiving any messages. then, they directed me to iphone department and there was a guy who taught me step by step on how and what i should do. so i followed and reset ALL my settings while connecting it trhough with the computer. i then restore from backup from itunes and the whole process took about 2 hours. after installing and backing up the necessary, i have ALL my data with me BUT the message thing is still not working. im still on ios5 after restoring though. im not sure if it's right. i only receive messages that i was suppose to receive hours ago- after i restore my whole phone. and after which, i tried to send out again- it was unsuccessful. oh no! is this some bug on ios5 or?? cus some of my frens don't experience the similar problem like me!!! pls help. thanks!

I've just transferred from o2 and cannot receive calls but can make them

You should receive a text from EE once your number port is 100% complete, but as already mentioned, it can take all day to complete.

Hi ,
Welcome to the community and to EE.
The transfer can take 24 hours to fully become active, this can mean a little split service which you have in the mean time.
Are you able to call 150?
Hope you enjoy EE.

Can't make or receive calls, but can send SMS messages?

Heyyy so a friend of mine, I was on the phone with her, and she dropped it. It's a 3G Curve on Verizon I believe. And now when I call her it gives me a fast busy tone. She can text me, but she can't call me. She's done a battery pull, turned on and off airplane mode, turned on and off bedtime mode, nothing seems to be working.
Any ideas?

Exch2k10 - after migration from Exch2k7 - only one mailbox cannot receive (ext/int) emails but can send

Hi,
after migration (coexistence) from Exch2k7, we have only one user (among 160) who cannot receive emails, doesn´t matter if it´s comming from internal user or external and also doesn´t matter if we are checking that mailbox using MS Outlook or OWA interface;
right now I performed a test to redirect (message mailflow) its mailbox to another and it works; I tried to redirect and also save a copy to himself but no success. After disable that redirection, the issue remains the same.
If we use another mailbox with Ms Outlook to send new mail and set the notification for delivery/read; we receive an alert regarding the 'delivery' only.
Using MessageTracking CMDLET to .CSV file, shows the following - when send externally to this user/mailbox:
SMTP ; RECEIVE
STOREDRIVER ; DELIVER
If we use the CMDLET 'Get-Mailbox -Identity "Exchange2010User" | FL' for this user and to another working fine, there is no differences.
That mailbox resides on a database with more 15 others users and using the CMDLET 'get-queue |where-object {$_.NextHopDomain -like "mbx2"}' show no messages waint for delivery.
>>> Can someone help us to troubleshoot this case? Any help is appreciated.

did you check if you have anything like a retention policy or managed folder mailbox policy set for the problem mailbox ?
Journal Rules ?
Outlook Client/Server Side rules ?
did you check if you are able to locate emails in Recover Deleted Items after you logon to user mailbox ?
Please check above and revert back with a reply!
