Email no longer retrieving messages!

Up until Monday, I could refresh my Yahoo email account that I set up with no issues. Now, it will refresh but no new emails show up.. any suggestions on how to solve this??

First power the phone off and then back on.
Then dial *228 send and option 1 on the phone.
Try changing the email sync settings.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located in the lower-left).
Touch Gmail.
Touch Menu.
Touch Accounts.
Touch Menu.
Touch Account Settings.
If desired, touch Background data to enable applications to sync, send and receive data at any time.
Background data is enabled if a green check mark is present.
If desired, touch Auto-sync to enable data to sync automatically.
Auto-sync is enabled if a green check mark is present.
For the Yahoo account, if the problems persist, you might want to remove the account from the phone, then set it back up.
1: From the home screen, open the Applications Tray by touching, and then touch Mail.
2: Select Other (POP3/IMAP).
3: Enter your Email address and Password then select Next
4: Enter a name for your account, the name to be displayed on outgoing messages then select Finish Setup. Your account is set up and your Inbox
will be displayed. If prompted for the type of account go to step 5.
5: Select POP or IMAP and enter your Incoming Server Settings.
Then select Next.*
6: Enter the Outgoing Server Settings. Then select Next.*
7: Enter a name for your account, the name to be displayed on
outgoing messages then select Finish Setup. Your account is now set up and your Inbox will be displayed.

Mail won't retrieve messages from ISP

Please tell me this is my ISP's problem, not my iMac's! I have 2 email accounts, one with my ISP and another with a spam-filtering service. As of yesterday, Mail no longer retrieves messages sent to my ISP email address, although it does retrieve from the other account. I know I have messages, because I can log in to webmail and read them there--but what a pain. My ISP, a small local outfit, seems overwhelmed, and I can't get through to support--so I'm guessing this is their problem.
If not, any suggestions! Many thanks!

Anything in the Deleted Messages box?
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Can I retrieve messages from a blackberry email address in Mail for OS X?

I'm wondering if I can configure Mac OS X Mail to retrieve messages from a blackberry email address.
Thanks.

lte me know if my question doesn't make sense.

I have upgraded to OS X mavericks and there is now a problem with my email. I have discovered several emails no longer contain the original message instead another completely different message is appearing but under the name of original sender. Any ideas?

Pop3 email account stuck 'preparing to retrieve messages'

Hi,
I've seen others with this issue, but so far none of the suggestions has worked for me. I have three accounts in Mail, two gmail ones, and one pop account. The latter hasn't been able to retrieve messages since the 6th of March. I've moved the messages downloaded plist, the envelope index files from the Library, I've run disk permissions and repaired the disc, I've trbuilt the mailbox, and reindexed Spotlight.
The messages come through on my ipad and phone okay, just not on Mail on my Mac. Interestingly, last night I decided to try Thunderbird instead. I set up the account and nothing! The progress indicator at the bottom says 'Downloading message 1 of 87 ...' but nothing comes through.
I'm waiting to hear from my ISP, but as emails comethrough to the ipad, etc, I doubt they'll have much to say.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Kev.

Hi again, and please forgive the bump. My ISP hasn't suggested anything, as expected. However, looking in the Console this morning for Mail entries came up with this:
16/03/2014 08:51:30.000 syslogd[17]: Configuration Notice:

Is any of this helpful?

How do I retrieve messages, iMessages, emails in I icloud backup?

How do I retrieve messages, iMessages, emails in I icloud backup?

The only way to access text messages in the backup is by restoring the backup to your device. This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. The backup doesn't include email. It does include your email account settings, but not the actual email. Restoring a backup will not recover deleted email.

Fixed it. The problem was I had too many (>1700) message stored in my Yahoo inbox. When I deleted most of them, worked fine.

Help...my email is stuck at "preparing to retrieve messages"

all of my connections are green-lighted,
i've tried starting and restarting
i've taken accounts offline and then back online

....when i check new mail it spins and spins and under window/activity, it's stuck at "preparing to retrieve messages."
i can SEE occationally a flash of the status bar lower left saying "incoming mail, 2 of 174" or some such, but it then disappears and NO new messages come in. help!

I'm having the same problem.
Bought a new iMac that had Snow Leopard when shipped. Transferred everything fine from my PowerPC iMac running Leopard to the new iMac with Snow Leopard. Got everything setup and then received my free upgrade notification from Apple.
Performed the upgrade and since then Mail is forever preparing to import messages, but only for 1 of the 2 login accounts.

HT4859 My emails no longer appear on my computer but only on my iPad and iPhone. How do I get my emails to also appear on my computer?

Hello I have a problem - I live in France so this might be something to do with my service provider (orange). But I can't work out how to continue to get my emails on my mac mail application on my computer when I have icloud switched on on my iphone and ipad. I receive my emails on both iphone and ipad but not on my computer. It's as if my computer has become a slave to my ipad.
I can disable the icloud service for mail on my iphone but then I can't send emails from my second account from my iphone (I have both a .mac account and another account). When icloud is switched on and when I'm using the g3 on my iphone, when I receive an email on my orange account all I have to do is change the address from which I am sending an email in the "from" line from my iphone and I can reply from my phone.
However if I switch off icloud on my iphone I can indeed reply from my .mac address but not from my other address - ie the drop down menu doesn't appear which means I have to copy out the original email if I wan to reply in detail.
But if I keep icloud switched on I no longer get my emails on my computer - only on the server. I think there ought to be something I can switch over on icloud but I don't know what.
Any ideas?

I would understand it if you checked email on your Mac, and then those messages were not available on your iOS devices if you had the advanced account setting "remove copy from server after retrieving message:" set to immediately.
I looked through my iPhone settings and don't even see an option to tell my phone to pull the only copy of a message and delete it from the server.
Possibly there is another setting in Lion (I am running Snow Leopard still) that tells your Mac to only synchronize mail to your iOs devices and is not pulling mail directly from iCloud.
You could try disabling your current iCloud email account in Mac Mail, and adding a new one and just telling Mail it is a standard IMAP account (imap.mail.me.com incoming and smtp.mail.me.com outgoing).
I did that for Leopard to get my email even to work after MobileMe is cancelled and it seems to work fine with my iPhone.
If that doesn't work, you can delete that new email account and re-enable the temporarily disabled iCloud email account from above.
Hope this helps.

WebOS 1.20 email no longer fetches gmail inbox

I've owned the pre since day 1 (6-6-09) and gmail IMAP (as items arrive) has worked flawless... UNTILL 1.20 update. Since this update, email no longer checks for new messages in the inbox. This is epic.
Things I've tried to solve this myself:
- Removed account, re-added. Nothing
- Changed time check intervals from As items arrive to 15 mins. Still doesn't check
- Rebooted, Shutdown. still no regular checks. I do get notified of new emails on reboot, just never again.
- Removed account, then shutdown, booted and added again. Still doesn't check.
Even when going to the email app and manually refreshing, new messages don't come in. Some-times after the 3rd or 4th refresh I'll get my new emails (& other times I don't.)
Is my only option downgrade because it's not even secure w/ the email exploits that exist in the older release.
FYI, i'm connect (and been connected) via WIFI. So sprint isn't at fault.

Same problem, but not only with gmail also with work IMAP. Been happening ever since I bought this phone. I also chimed in on Derek's thread.
Updated to 1.2.1
Is it possible I got a lemon?

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

S4 Sync settings for email no longer available after update

After the Verizon Galaxy S4 Kit Kat update: I can no longer sync my email accounts. I get a "email sync turned off" message. when I go to the SYNC settings (stttings-accounts-email-settings-account settings-sync settings) there is NO option to turn sync setting back "ON"

Hello hdlane, let's get to the bottom of this together! To turn on sync settings for email, scroll down from the top of the home screen. At the top right there is a button with three squares & two arrows facing in opposite directions. This is the "More Settings" section. Press this option and it iwill open a list. Near the bottom of the list turn on sync and the emails will update.
