Downloaded mail not appearing

I have a POP mailbox that suddenly, on May 1, no longer displays new downloaded email. When I click on get all mail, it says it is downloading 30 messages (the number is going up every day), but it doesn't display the messages, and after it downloads the messages I get the "blow" sound indicating there is no new mail.
Any thoughts?

This has been a problem ever since Leopard first came out. I have had this problem with an old computer. I upgraded this year and still have this problem. NO one has ever gotten a fix for this. I just today decided to eliminate everything and start from scratch and I still have the problem. I tried it with just MobileMe and that did not work. I deleted all the mail and plist files every time and still no solution for the problem. I first thought it was a POP problem since the email always hung when trying to download from a POP account that I also have and use. Well 2 years later after not using that email account in Mail and starting from scratch, it still has to be forced quit to get out of Mail when I have that account active. So it does not work with MobileMe, it does not work with Earthlink and does not work with Gmail. I guess one of those guys from Microsoft came over and wrote the code for Mail.app in Leopard. You will find many messages and threads with "solutions", but they DO NOT WORK... I guess my next option is to take it to the Genesis Bar at a Apple Store and show them the problem. Believe me, I have even completely wiped a hard drive clean and loaded Leopard straight from the DVD and still every time it does the same thing.
Apple, _+*THE CODE WRITTEN FOR THE PROGRAM IS SCREWED UP!*+_ Lets get this message out there. Mail.app is a alpha program at best at this time. At this time I feel that Apple has to completely rewrite the entire Mail program to correct this problem since they have never offered any solution to anyone here. All the solutions that I have seen to date, all I can say is "been there, done that".
So to summarize it all:
With POP accounts (Earthlink): I have the infamous Force Quit problem.
With IMAP Accounts (MobileMe & Gmail): I have the no new mail sound problem when there is mail and no new mail shows up unless I either get out of the inbox or sometimes I have to quit Mail.
Neither one of these items have worked since I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. If you have this problem, there is probably very little hope that anyone can get it fixed...

    i just updated my iPod touch 4G to IOS 5.0.1. after that my ipod cannot synchronise with itunes. during connecting to itunes my ipod seem to be synchronised with itunes but the song or application that i just downloaded did not appear in my ipod.

    - First try a rset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring from backup

  • After purchasing from iTunes the downloads do not appear on my ipad.

    What can I do if after purchasing iTunes the downloads do not appear on my ipad?  I have been charged for them.  How do I track them down?
    Sandra from Hayden

    I'm going to assume that you use only one Apple ID so the two things that I can think of are to quite all processes and restart all devices and then try to sync those apps again. Quit iTunes, restart your computer and the iPad and then try to sync the apps again.
    The other thing would be to try to reset your iTunes account by signing in and out of the account on the iPad. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account and try again.

  • My downloads are not appearing in the download folder

    (using mac) My download window--I can click on items that are there and "show in finder" and then they appear in the finder...but otherwise, my downloads folder has no new items in it and even if I search with the right file name, it will not appear.
    I recently--the same date that the most recent file is appearing--went from one Mac to the other. No idea what is happening..

    Did you check the settings for the download manager?
    *Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: "Remember download history"
    You can also see all downloads in the Downloads folder the Library (History > Show All History).
    You can also check the <b>browser.download.manager.retention</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it still has the default value of 2 (manually remove downloads).

  • Mail not appearing as HTML - Mail Adapter

    Hello All,
    I'm using the mail package in a receiver mail adapter. During mapping I format the content in HTML format, using &lt; &gt; form < and >. Also I set the content type of the mail package to text/html. However when the mail is received, the content of the mail is the html with tags, it does not appear as an html page. When I see the source the file still has the escape characters instead of < and >. But when I save this as an html file and open it, it appears as a web page.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    HI,Specify whether you want to encode the content of the e-mail message. You have the following options:
    ·        None
    ·        base64 (default value)
    ·        quoted-printable
    use quoted-printable
    Coding of characters in e-mails that are not contained in the ASCII character set.
    The code contains German umlauts and special characters

  • Download item not appearing in my library

    Downloaded an album and although it appears on my phone it does not appear on my mac.

    That would be possible if you have your phone set to automatically download new purchases but you do not have your Mac set to do the same.

  • Sent mail not appearing in icloud

    I use my macbook air, iphone and my ipad to send mail from my @me.com account. But when i send an email from my macbook it does not appear in the sent mail folder on icloud. The iphone and ipad both work properly if i send mail from either device it appears in the icloud sent mail folder.
    I've been trough the settings on my macbook and have the "Store sent messages on sever" option ticked, and the email accoutn is set up as an IMPA account but it still doesn't work.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Same here! Works on my iPad, iPhone and MacAir. But on my PowerMac the sent mail doesn't show up at all. I can't even find the messages I've tried to send so I can try retype them and resend on my iPhone.
    Does your "sent" folder continually beach ball? Mine is non-stop beach balls. Like it's trying really hard to update the sent folder but ran into a Sysiphus stone.
    hmm.

  • AOL mail not appearing on macbook

    If I log into AOL through Safari, I often find that I have emails at AOL.com that do not appear in my mail notices on my Macbook pro, but if I look at my ipod, they are always there.   Is there some setting that I need to change on the laptop? 

    I had the same problem for the past few days. I'm using Hotmail and Gmail with Exchange Active Sync. I'm receiving e-mails with sender and subject but no text in the body of the e-mail.I'm from The Netherlands so i guess it's not a provider issue.
    I tried deleting my account on my iPhone 4 and re-enter my settings. But still was getting empty e-mails. I shutdown my iPhone 4 completely and then i restarted it and now all my e-mail appear with text in the body of the e-mail.

  • Sent mail not appearing in Internet mail box

    I have recently been using Mail on iMac and while I can receive and view all emails on it. But strange thing is that whatever I sent from Mail on the iMac, it just appeared on the Mail Sent box but do not appear on the internet version of email sent box or anywhere in the internet version. I do have an iPhone and the sent mail from the iMac Mail cannot be found too. However, receiptents do receive my emails anyway. It is frustrating and disappointed that this happened and unable to do work on my iMac in this way especially when I am travelling and away from my desk.
    Currently I am using Yahoo! .sg mail with IMAP and has checked thoroughly, including the outgoing server. Did many delete and re-installing but this does not seem to work. Maybe there are some steps that I have overlooked, or improper installation, could somebody help?

    I find that perhaps one message in ten is not saved to my sent folder. I am using .mac mail. I am storing sent messages on the server, draft messages locally.
    It seems that some kind of timeout on port 143 prevents the message from being copied to the sent folder, although the message is actually sent.
    This is clearly a bug. Even if there is a communication failure, the message should remain accessible somewhere, not drift off into the ether. It would be far preferable to risk sending twice by holding the outgoing message in drafts until the move to sent completes.

  • Mail - Yahoo IMAP sent mail not appearing

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to troubleshoot this without much success. I've an iphone and a MBP running Lion. I've several Yahoo and Gmail accounts, and they are all set up as IMAP accounts.
    Receiving and viewing messages are fine. However, if I were to send an email using one of the Yahoo accounts via Mail on the MBP, it gets sent successfully, but that email does not appear within the 'server' sent mailbox, nor within my iPhone mail app. Gmail seems to work fine.
    I've highlighted each relevant 'sent' mailbox on my mac and set it to 'Use this mailbox' within the Mailbox menu, but it has not made a difference.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this?
    Much appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Alvin

    Sending is done via SMTP. What happened here is that SMTP accepted the mails for sending (thus, the mail client put them in the sent folder). From that moment on, SMTP needs to actually deliver mails to the recipient(s). Until this has happened, mails stay in the mail queue of your mail server.
    You did not mention if the mails got eventually delivered, so here is a list of some possible reasons for late delivery or non-delivery:
    -Receiving mail server does not respond
    -Connectivity issues
    -amavisd not running
    -Mail got flagged as spam (non-delivery). This would happen if you are trying to send mail from a blacklisted IP (like dynamic IPs) and your mail server is not configured to bypass spam scans for authenticated users.

  • Mail not appearing in notification center... Also, gears not appearing in the mail app.

    I tried to configure my mac to enable it to receive mails in the notification center but cant. i have tried to send an email from other IDs but havent received any banner or alert while using my mac. i have checked the show alerts and banners in notification center. Do i have to keep the window of the mail app in a specific position to receive alerts in the notification centre? Also, the gears are not appearing in the mail app when i fetch for new mail. please help..

    I'm also having this problem.
    Notifications receives alerts from Reminders app, but not Mail.
    I've set preferences in Mail for 'Inbox Only' and 'All Mailboxes', sent test mail from ISP webmail and Google (Mail is not setup to receive from this account) - still no notifications.
    I had previously used Growl (v1.4) and GrowlMail very successfully (with 10.7), but while upgrading to Mountain Lion I was informed that GrowlMail was incompatible so I deleted it.
    While testing this problem of not receiving Mail Notifications I have disabled Growl and rebooted.
    Like others here:
    Checked: Notifications setup
    Checked: Mail setup
    Rebuilt permissions
    Rebooted
    Any help would be very gratefully received.
    Many thanks.

  • Apps downloaded do not appear in the library

    I just bought my 4th gen iPod touch yesterday. I used iTunes' store and chose a bunch of apps, and they would download in itunes. Now most of them do not appear in the "apps" section of the library, so I cannot sync them to my ipod. some of them are free some are paid. what should I do? I've looked at the support forums, google, etc and nothing. I've restarted itunes, the ipod, auth/deauth the account... nothing changes.
    thanks,
    uriel

    Edward:
    Do you have a Roll 816 visible in iPhoto?
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
