Email no longer received to .mac account

Hello - I have 3 email addresses on my Macbook Pro. 1 is a .mac account, and the other 2 are from my small business.
Recently I noticed that I cannot send mail from my small business email account to my .mac account, although I can send mail from this account to other non-.mac accounts (including gmail). I can send mail from my small business account to my small business account in Mail however just not to the .mac account in Mail.
Anyone have any suggestions? I have already cleaned out (deleted) old emails and reduced the size of my inbox as well as rebuilt my inbox.
Thanks in advance.

Where are you when attempting to send to the .mac account? What SMTP is being used as the Outgoing Server for the business accounts?

Can send email but cannot receive on exchange account

My .mac account, gmail account, and yahoo account work flawlessly on my iphone. My work account, however, does not. My employer has his iphone working fine and my settings are the same but for some reason I can't receive email. I have no problem sending email from the account with the iphone, only receiving. Anyone have any ideas?
I have tried setting it up via the "exchange" option (entering mail servers, login, and password) and get the following:
1. Cannot connect using SSL (I proceed without it)
2. Cannot get mail. The user name or password is incorrect. IMAP support must be enabled. (which it is because my employer connects without issue).
3. I save the account despite the warnings and can send email but not receive.

I am having the same problem with both my work and Yahoo accounts. At least to the work account I am positive that the settings are the same as a co-worker using an iTouch to access his email. I have re-entered the settings a minimum of 10 times and the IT department has tried no less than 5 times. The error message remains the same. I could understand incorrectly entering the settings once or twice, but not separate people entering it 15 times. There is something else wrong with the iPhone software.

Emailing from iPhoto using Mail & .Mac account in a foreign country

Hi all.
I love the OSX integration of being able to just select some photos in
iPhoto and click the email button. Opens up Mail program and sends away.
It makes it very easy and simple for someone like my girlfriend who would rather not think about where things are stored and how to attach them.
I even made her get a .Mac account to simply things even more!
Great.... but......
Off she goes with the iBook to Thailand to do her wholesale shopping.
With a new digital camera, iBook, .Mac account and iLife 6 all packed too.
(plus a quick lesson in using iWeb to get photos to a web page).
So now she takes some photos, loads them into iPhoto, edits, crops,
makes them look pretty. All in the comfort of her own room. Then off
to the Internet Cafe she goes, pays for a wireless hookup (the iBooks got airport). Goes to iPhoto, selects the photos, clicks email. Mail opens and a
new message with the photos already attached opens. After typing a message and sending the message......an error gets returned saying unable to send message do to SMTP outgoing server.
Having ran into this issue at home already, I followed instructions I found on the apple site regarding changing the mail setting account info SMTP server port number. Well that worked for home and after trying to get her to change it via the numerous numbers suggested from the Support pages on apple. Could not get her to be able to send an email (even when selecting .mac as the selected outgoing mail server).
Any suggestions on how to get this to work.
I just went into the new web .Mac mail and while you can attach files.
There is no way to use the iPhoto program to do this or to just be able to drag and drop from iPhoto to .Mac webmail.
Trying to show her the pathway to find her photos in the Pictures folder is not really an option.
thanks
Kerry

Hi Kerry
Some ISPs don't allow one to send email via another connection to prevent spammers using their servers for relaying junk.
I suggest that she use the webmail function of .Mac.
She could export the files to desktop, making sure that she adjusts the file size in the dialogue box so that the files are not too large, and then add to the email via the normal webmail interface.

Only Incoming emails not being received on Mac Mail

Hello,
I am able to receive incoming emails on my Blackberry as well as my Webmail, but since a couple of days, my incoming Emails are just not being received on my Mac Mail, specific to 1 Account only. I have multiple accounts on my Mac Mail.
Please assist.

Hello Shadab333
Start with using Connection Doctor to see if there is anything that is preventing it from receiving email. Depending on the settings of that email address in Mail you may not receive them once they have been checked elsewhere. Check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue further.

Cannot receive mail from .Mac account on port 143

I use my laptop at work. I used to have a 12" Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.3. I had no problem receiving mail from my .Mac account. Now, and all of a sudden, I can no longer receive my .Mac mail using the Mail app. The error I get is:
The server "mail.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143.
I called AppleCare about this issue last night and they told me to perform the following steps:
1. Choose .Mac in System Preferences and delete my username and password from the Account tab.
2. Move com.apple.mail.plist and the Mail folder from my ~/Library folder to the desktop.
3. Restart the Mail app and re-import the Mail folder from the desktop. I was told not to directly copy the Mail folder from the desktop into the ~/Library folder.
4. Go back into .Mac in System Preferences and re-enter my account information.
According to AppleCare, things should now work. But there's a little problem with this "solution." I spoke with my network admin and he told me that incoming traffic on port 143 is blocked. That being the case, I fail to see how any of the above steps will solve my problem. It seems nothing more than an issue of trying to get my network admin to open port 143 and he seems reluctant to do that.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard

I've solved this problem. Well, actually, I didn't do anything other than:
1) Rebooting my computer, then...
2) Following the instructions at the top of the following thread to re-create my email accounts (I had two):
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1598309#1598309
Not sure what this fixed, and how I got into this issue in the first place.
I had four or five days worth of email to come in... it took...
...a...
...long...
...time...
But its looking like its working.
A few things I tried, and although they didn't have an immediate effect to fix the connection refused problem, they might have kicked something to start something working again:
1) Created a new 'test' user on the system, restarted, logged in as that user, and started Mail.app setting it up with .Mac settings (it was after this everything worked)
2) Changed SSL ports in the accounts settings (no difference)
3) Turned firewall on and off (no difference)
4) Attempted to use Thunderbird to read .Mac email as IMAP mailbox (didn't work)
Hope this rather obvious help helps anyone else

My wife and I share a calendar in a .mac account, but she has her own apple ID and iTunes account

I have long had a .mac account that I use mostly to share calendars among my machines, which include my desktop iMac and MacBook Air, and my wife's desktop Mac and her iPad. She has her own iTunes account which I don't need access to, we each have our own AddressBook and Mail accounts which we don't wish to share. All machines are iCloud capable.
We only wish to share claendars.
How do we accommodate this in iCloud?
Thanks,
Chuck

I've a related problem...I believe. I have a MobileMe account with two "email only" accounts. Both of the email- onlys are quite active with lots of emails. I want to move everything to the cloud.
My Question: must I follow a specific order of moving to iCloud in order to preserve the data on the mail-onlys? e.g. move the email-onlys first or move them last? Or in some special manner. And I want to avoid much downtime? The "email only" kind of account doesn't seem to be listed in the documents I've read, except in my MobileMe Account Summary.
TIA

I can no longer receive me emails from my .mac account on my iMac even though I have been able to receive it for the past number of years, I have an iCloud account and it is sending my mail to my phone but not my desktop. What gives...

I can no longer receive my emails from the icloud to my mac even though it has been doing it fine since I moved to the icloud a number of weeks now. I only get my mail if I log into icloud or I get it on my phone, it is not synching to my iMac. Can someone assist please.
Thanks
Don

I tried something similar by adding a new mail account doing the apple id etc but it worked in that it would look for mail but no mail would come even though mail still goes to my phone I was loath to delete my original account just in case the new one did not work as well. So I guess I am a little stuck now.. I hope you can help me to sort it out.
Thanks

ITunes is billing my account for my purchases, but I am no longer receiving a receipt in my email........does anyone know why ? Or how I can get this fixed ?

iTunes is billing my account for my purchases, but I am no longer receiving a receipt in my email, why is this ? And how do I get it fixed ?

Hello, here's the fix I think...
I think they're slowly nudging people to switch, .mac & MobileMe are going away about July, may as well set it up now.
I understand .mac mail will still come through.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password

.mac account cannot received email

OS X 10.10.2 , Mail Version 8.2 (2070.6)
I got a family pack .mac long time ago. the main account use just find without any problem, but recently one of the family members account(which now each member account is individual now already) it has a @mac.com account still can login icloud and sent the email just fine, but this [email protected] cannot received any email, I have test that [email protected] [email protected] can received email without anyproblem. Doest anyone know why this happened?
thanks for help

Hi Andy,
No, I would recommend you to directly contact Apple, because it's anything but normal that you can use your @mac.com only for sending emails, but the other two "versions" with the ending @me.com and @icloud.com for sending and receiving email.
With kind regards,
David

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account. I can still send e-mail messages, though. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my account. I have changed my password, but wonder how to start receiving mail again?

I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account, though I still seem to be able to send messages. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my Mail account (my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts were both hacked three days ago and a scam/phishing message sent to my contacts, and I know there was at least an attempt made to hack into one of my e-mail accounts). I have already changed my Apple password, but how do I start receiving mail again?
(And I should also say that I'm a little surprised there was no alert from Apple of suspicious activity on my account, if such was the case. Instead, when I logged into my account via Mobile Me three days ago I noticed that all messages in my inbox were gone as well as all of my contacts. I assume this was related to the current problem.)
Thanks for all responses.

The problem has been solved with the help of a MobileMe online counsellor. My MobileMe account had in fact been hacked into and the fraudster had been redirecting my e-mail messages to a phony account that he controlled. We took the forward off and reset all my passwords and security questions, which solved the immediate problem.
Thx.

Can't send receive email from Yahoo account or send from .mac account

On 5/1, when launching Mail, it asked me to update to new settings or use old settings. I should have kept the old settings. Instead, I had to set up all of my email accounts again. Everything is working except receiving mail from my Yahoo account. Also, I can receive mail from my .mac account, but can't send from it. These accounts are working fine on my iPhone. Is there a way to restore old email settings? Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Jeffrey,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
Is there a way to restore old email settings?
Only with a backup or Manually redoing it/them, which may or may not lose the mail you have.

I can no longer receive or send email via my Yahoo account from my iphone6. I've downloaded several "help guides" from the internet and tried them, including deleting the Yahoo account and re-adding it via imap. But nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Use the yahoo app if available?

Begin deleting data that is stored in icloud, like emails and iOS backups.

.Mac account not receiving all emails

I am not receiving all emails to my main .Mac account. I do receive emails and would never known there was a problem until people started calling to find out why I haven't responded. I have a main .Mac account and two alias accounts, but the address that the emails are being sent to are my main account. Any ideas?

The junk mailbox is empty. I checked my preferences and disabled it for now to see if that will make a difference. I do have some Rules set up to filter known "sales" emails to delete or change the color but I have not set up any rules to move or filter from friends.
