Cant recive emails but can send

Just downloaded Mozilla thunderbird. Have been through the setup process and my account appers to have connected to the client without any error messages. The problem is I can send emails but not receive them.
I don't really know what I'm talking about but for what its worth:
I am using a IMAP mail server. port 993
I have checked in the firewall settings and there appears to be no mention at all of Mozilla thunderbird.
When I click on the inbox or "get messages" icon nothing happens, it does not appear to attempt to connect to anything
Any help would be fantastic.

please post the account settings information included in the troubleshooting information on the help menu. (copy to clipboard and paste into a reply here on the foruim..) That way we will have some information to verify.

E65 I CANT RECEIVE EMAILS BUT CAN SEND THEM

I set up emails on my phone I have received 1 incoming but now it wont work any ideas? I can send them without any problems.

Do you have an option where it says "Use the same protocol for sending and receiving" or some such option ?

Can't receive emails but can send. Checked all settings as per help all ok. Tried deleting and adding. All ok on other devices

I Can't receive emails but cand send. Just stopped working. I have checked all settings and also tried deleting account and re adding. Email account ok as works on my phone and laptop. What else could I try?

Go into the account again and look at the settings for the mail server. That is what receives the mail. Make sure that your username and password are entered everywhere, even where the phone states optional. I'm guessing that you are connected to Wi-Fi on the iPad at the time you are trying to get the mail?

Exchange - Cannot receive emails but can send

Using Exchange 2007 - (CAS,Hub,Mail and Transport). I have all external mail coming in on http/s to webmail and outlook anywhere and port 25 smtp (mail.domain.com). Firewall NAT rule is External to Internal.
I then created a DMZ and now have webmail and outlook anywhere http/s going from External>>>>DMZ>>>Internal and it works fine. But when I changed smtp 25 to External>>>DMZ>>>Inside - I cannot receive any emails from
external, I can send though.
I Only changed the way it is being routed, instead of going from External (mail.domain.com) to Internal (mail server). I have it going External (mail.domain.com)>>>(DMZ IP) >>>(Internal Mail server).
I didn't change any IPs or URLs or anything on the External or Internal and webmail and outlook anywhere are working fine through the DMZ.
I thought maybe it could be the external mail filter in the cloud that hits our external domain name but since I'm not touching anything external I don't see how that would matter.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi,
Based on my experience, improper permission groups would always bring mail flow issue. Thank you for sharing the solution here.

Not receiving emails, but can send them on desktop; but can do both on iPhone.

Ok, I have spent since a day or so since the first of this month trying to solve this issue. I use Hostgator, which shouldn't be an issue, but it seems to be. I have on my phone all my emails that are being hosted by hostgator set up as fetch, and it recieves my emails fine. My desktop though, can't. It can see the servers, and send emails, but it can't do anything but. It can't even download the emails I sent to myself, but when I go on web mail I can see them all.
My connection to the server is good:
But for some reason I can't recieve any emails from the IMAP server.
I put the computer is Safe Mode, and I could recieve the emails, but when I put it in normal mode, the emails don't download. I use Avast! Anti-Virus, I use SugarSync, I use Splashtop, And Free Memory Pro.
For web browsers, I use Crome, and Safari.
I use Apple Mail and Postbox, both can't recieve emails.
I can't imagine what is keeping my computer from downloading from the server.
Can someone help please?

I have not seen that review before and the only thing I take issue with is
the authors of Clam AV for Mac, apparently do not understand these concepts. Both the admin and limited user can only scan files w/in "<user name>/documents". 99% of the files on a Mac are outside of "/users/<admin>,<other user>/documents. What good is a antivirus scan, that has no access?
There is only one author and I can assure you that he fully understands the permission issues involved. He is committed to follow Apple security guidelines in this matter which say that even an admin user should not be able to see files and folders belonging to other users without their explicit permission. I realize that there is a lot of software that ignore this rule, including virtually all other A-V software vendors, but I don't think he will ever budge on that subject. I'm sure this same limitation applies to any other A-V software downloaded from the AppStore.
ClamXav will scan any file or folder that the current user has read access to. For an admin user this is by far the majority of the files on the hard drive, not the 1% indicated by the reviewer. For a limited user, that would be reduced to only files that are owned by that user and any other files readable by "everybody".
I realize that it has widely been suggested that users not routinely operate with admin rights, but I'm guessing the number of users that are actually practicing that are minimal. Novice users won't see that guidance and most of those that do won't be able to figure out how to accomplish that. Experienced users may give it a try, but quickly get tired of switching back and forth to do their admin duties. To me one of those admin duties would be to run ClamXav periodically to pick up anything that may have slipped by, especially when there is more than one user using the computer. Each of those other users should also be using ClamXav to inspect their own files. Of course a limited use user can use an admin userid and password if they know it to do installations, etc., so it is possible to slip something by.
In the case of the web site version of ClamXav, a limited user can run Sentry to watch all of the entry points to the computer, including the download folder, e-mail and any external drives he has access to. That should detect any currently known malware, including Windows, before it becomes an issue.
Lastly, as far as I have been able to determine, all the ClamAV® signatures are for malware that would be readable to an admin user and most by a limited use user. It would be a waste of time to look into the unreadable portions of the System (mostly the Unix sub-system) since there is no currently known malware that would exist there.
What bothers me is that it won't look at files beyond ownership? I know it sounds odd, but I do deal with some form of internet esponage at times due to the type of company I am working on building.
Again, you will be able to examine any files readable by you, any group you belong to or "everybody" as long as they are enclosed in a directory (folder) that you can access. Here's an example of a full hard drive scan I did just the other day as a test:
Scanned directories: 192387
Scanned files: 914610
Total errors: 692
The "errors" are almost certainly files I did not have read access to as an admin so I was able to scan 99.9% of the files I had access to.
Disk Utility tells me I have 1,150,506 files at the moment, so I scanned about 79.5% of them.

Can't open emails but can send emails - I use verizon

I use verizon for my emails. On my IPAD I can see my emails but when I click on then I just get that circle that goes around and it keeps doing that forever. I can sent emails. I am able to open them fine on my computer so I don't think it is verizon. I have tried turning off, different ways to get on verizon but nothing seems to that I can think of. Any suggestions?

Cannot recieve my email but can send

Hi, I am a newby and in need of help.
I can send emails from my curve, but cannot recieve them. I have contacted vodaphone and done all the service pack stuff and confirmed that my account and email is set up correctly - but still no joy. It feels like there is a setting on the phone that is not picking up the emails. Could someone help and point me in the right direction?

Thanks for the help - but I'm still having problems. Email does arrive however there appears to be about a 5 hour delay. I set up an email address using the *@mobileemail.vodaphone.net but this still has the delay. If I send a nemail it goes almost immediately.
Very depressed and looking for help
Neil
Neil, my best advice, quite honestnly--get ride of the @mobilemail.vodaphone.net address and get a Gmail account. It has much better integration with the BlackBerry, and is more dependable. Plus the Gmail account can be used anywhere. If you ever change mobile phone carriers and leave Vodafone, you will loose your @mobilemail... address.

Cannot reply to emails but can send or forward

I usually work from home but am in my office 2d a week. I just took my new mac to the office, and for whatever reason, emails I received at home, when I reply, it tries to send them via my home SMTP server (comcast) rather than the work server. I even went in on my account info under Preferences and DELETED my comcast info, so the only SMTP server showing is my office server. No dice.
I can send new email, and I can forward, but I cannot reply. It seems that there is something "hidden" in these emails that it wants to use my home SMTP server? Ideas?

Hi,
I have more or less the same problem.
When I try to reply to an email, mail shows me a message to tell me that it can't send out the mail message via the server. This can take up 5 to 10 minutes before I know it can't be send out.
Did you find a solution for you mail problem?

Can't get emails,but can send through Mail

I just got Roadrunner and I cannot get emails in the Mail program. RR says it is a Mac Mail problem. I can send emails through Mail. I do get emails through Webmail but really want to use the Mail program. It worked with my Earthlink account. I have rebuilt the account and have the settings in Mail correct. Are there other settings I need to set on the Mac?
Thank you for any help.

No, a combination of letters and numbers. I just noticed that the email address for me on webmail is @adelphia.net, [email protected] That is not how Mail is set up nor is that the email address I was given. I was never with any Adelphia internet service. It is strange.

Ipad won't receive email, but can send

My ipad has suddenly stopped receiving emails for my main account. I can send emails ok. Have checked the mail settings against my iPhone, which are the same. Ipad is 8.1.2, iPhone is 7.1. Tried rebooting, deleting and recreating email account. Any ideas ?
Thanks
Rob

I am having the exact same issue. No changes that I am aware of that would cause this. even if Fetch were set, as soon as you swipe down on mail, it should load. But it looks for mail and then shows nothing new. At the bottom it states the last time mail was received (for me it was only a few hours ago). Just like Mintok above, I have reset iPad, deleted and re added email acct. I have 2 email accounts, both with Yahoo. My other account works just fine. My email also works just fine on my iPhone and computer. It also works when I go through the internet to access the yahoo mail. Just my iPad and just the one account and only with receiving emails). I did change password just in case. but it says it connects, it just won't download to that very specific email account.

Not Getting Emails, but can send

I am not getting emails on my BB. Last email received on my primary account was Thursday night. I can send, but nothing is coming through. It is an account through ATT.com, and it is also the main account I use on my personal laptop through Outlook. I have made sure that outlook is shut down and laptop is off, but still not receiving. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Ported from Verizon , cant recieve text but can send text

I got my phone Oct 10th and my problem is i am unable to recieve text messages from ONLY Verizon customers. I can do everything else just fine. I did port over from verizon to att and i understand it takes time for the servers to update but almost 2 weeks ? I have called att twice and they say it has to be a verizon issue because i can send and recieve on their network. Now what do i do ?

Ok this is going to sound stupid but my company had text messaging blocked I called Verizon and they unblocked it and now it works. Thank you for your help

Intermittently cannot receive emails but can send. Error message 'invalid username or password' for my pop3 email account.

Sometime when I am away from home, I can be happily sending and receiving emails on my ipad2. Out of the blue I get a message 'Cannot get email. Username or password invalid'. On returning home it works again. Sometimes I delete the account and readd it and this fixes the problem but I'm getting tired of doing that. Can anyone help please?

Check here:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Verizon > SMTP > smtp.verizon.net > Password
Is your password set there? Is it set correctly?

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!
