Email retrieval from IMAP trouble

Hi. For some reason my 5800 phone has recently stopped retrieving emails from my IMAP inbox. No changes on the servet but I have recently installed the latest firmware 50.2.005 and all applications are up to date.
The problem is I go to inbox click on Connect and it says updating mailbox, sometimes it will download the new messages and sometimes I have to do it several times. Also the connection to the mailbox is immediately droppped. There is no "exiting will disconnect from mailbox" prompt when I exit so that shows that it is not connected. Then when I try to open a new or even an old message it connects and says updating mailbox and then sometimes the email application closes, sometimes it does not do anything and goes back to message list, sometimes it will show the message with no body and sometimes it shows an error saying could not display message. After trying several times sometimes I get to see the message content. Each time I try to open the email it attempts to connect to internet as it asks me which connection to use so it is evident the phone cannot maintain the connection open.
I have noted that after some firmware upgrade now I only have the option to download headers. Before I believe there was an option to download part of the body aswell.
when trying to delete a message from phone & server it tries to do it but finally just shows a red slash on the message icon. The message is not deleted from server either.
I tried selecting messages from memory card and phone memory and tried deleting the email account and setup  from scratch but it is the same everytime.
I am using the default email client. The new Nokia email program is useless because it does not support secure connections which i need to use.
Solved!

 I tried selecting messages from memory card and phone memory and tried deleting the email account and setup  from scratch but it is the same everytime.
 I don't understand what do you mean? "its same everywhere". Better reconfigure it one more time by deleting the mailbox.

No, it wasn't there,  you can only retrieve Headers.
when trying to delete a message from phone & server it tries to do it but finally just shows a red slash on the message icon. The message is not deleted from server either.
Probably the connection to the IMAP server would have dropped, the next time you connect it will be updated.

  • How do I change my email account from IMAP to POP on my MacBook Pro

    My email provider has changed and no longer uses Yahoo IMAP, so I need to change the email to a POP account but my MacBook automatically chooses Yahoo IMAP when I try to create a new account.  Any suggestions how I can change from IMAP to POP?

    My email provider is BT and they have just moved me from BT Yahoo Mail to BT Mail.  I deleted the Yahoo email account and then used the Other Account option to input BT Mail, but unfortunately my MacBook decided that it still wanted me to use BT Yahoo.  So for several weeks I keep getting locked out of my mail and get the message box "Can't access mail' or something like that and wants me to put in the Yahoo mail password which is no longer valid.  I don't actually want to use POP (and actually have no idea what IMAP AND POP do!), but when I contacted BT support they suggested that I needed to use POP for BT Mail.  However having trawled the BT site I think what I was told was a load of rubbish.  So I suppose the real question is how to get rid of Yahoo Mail.

  • Mail: email retrieval from 2 different servers

    I retrieve emails to MAIL for my 2 email addresses from 2 different servers (gmail and 'workspace'). I try to keep the email on the servers to a minimum by deleting emails, but I want all the emails to stay in "Mail" on my Macbook pro.  When I delete email on the gmail server and then 'check mail' in Mail, if it's not on the gmail server, it gets deleted in Mail.  Under 'preferences:accounts:advanced' I've selected 'all messages and their attachments' under 'keep messages for offline viewing'.  I thought this would preserve all emails in Mail, but it doesn't.  What should I do to make sure all the emails I want to stay in Mail, stay there regardless of whether they are still on the servers or not?  Thanks.

  • Delete emails from server after retrieving with IMAP protocol?

    Hi,
    I am using Mail as my email program and have set up my account with IMAP.
    When I use the POP protocol, I get the option to 'Remove copy from server after retrieving message'. When I set up Mail with the IMAP protocol, there is no such an option. The result is that my server inbox is slowly filling up and I manually have to login on my server to delete older messages.
    Is there a setting to automatically remove retrieved messages from my email server using IMAP?
    Thanks for your help.
    Erik

    Dear Thomas,
    Thanks for the clarification! Now I understand the mechanism.
    Still I would like to know if there is a way to automatically remove retrieved messages from the e-mail server. Would it help to automatically move my incoming messages in INBOX to a different mailbox in Mail.app? How would I set this up?
    Thanks for the response!

  • I've lost an important email correspondence from 2012. I've heard this could be due to getting new Mac with Mavericks. can any one tell me (how to find out) if this is related? Also, how to retrieve the lost emails in my Gmail? Thanks

    Hello!
    I've just been told that "a lot of people have reported the total loss of their e-mail related to the Mavericks (10.9) update.  It appears the update corrupts the email files on your computer and when the Apple e-mail client sees everything is "gone" it wipes the server too (your GMail account)."
    I need to recover/retrieve a lost email sent from my GMail account back in sep/oct 2012. can any one help?
    I have searched my account the relevant correspondence is gone. I should not have deleted it myself. I've only started using "Mail" for my GMail account last September, so the servers could not have mixed up the Gmail archives, I think. Either way, I'm not smart enough yet to know how to retrieve this correspondence. The lost email is rather important, why I need to investigate all possible solutions.
    My gmail settings i.e. POP/IMAP and Filters are as they should, as far as I believe, but yet, I cannot tell how my settings were in 2012, tho I think I've never changed anything personally. In Sep 2012, arounf the time the, now lost, corresponcence took place, I switched to using Chrome, where before I was using Safari or Firefox. I now use a new mac book with Mavericks and browse in Chrome, most of the time.
    Would anyone be able to guide me through some steps, or have any leads on this?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

  • I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

    I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

    ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
    to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
    go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
    under accts, select add account
    select "other"
    new screen, choose "add mail account"
    now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
    hit next
    then the acct verifies
    when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
    select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
    then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone.  The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.

  • How do I convert yahoo email on iPhone FROM IMAP TO POP?

    I have Yahoo Mail Plus. When I first got my iPhone 4, I set it up so my yahoo email was accessible on my phone without my doing anything. I only check the email from two devices: my desktop via the internet, and my iPhone. I'm pretty sure the email set up on my phone is an IMAP protocol, because when I delete an email from one device, it deletes it on the other device.
    I actually want to change it so that when I delete an email on my phone, it DOESN'T delete it from the Yahoo server. I think that's the POP protocol. I realize setting it up as POP will require that I delete the emails multiple places. I can live with that. What I don't currently like is that all of the emails I've saved in my Yahoo account, in multiple folders, are now also sitting on my iPhone. It's a risk exposure I'd like to eliminate. My iPhone password is a start, but I'd feel better if I could purge old emails off my iPhone. Right now, if I delete the various emails and folders from my phone, it's my understanding they'll also be gone from my Yahoo internet account. I don't want that.
    I've read various posts saying I should delete my Yahoo email account on my iPhone and then set it up as a new account and select POP.
    1. Is that the only way to change from IMAP to POP?
    2. If I delete Yahoo mail on my iPhone, what will happen to my stored emails on Yahoo? Will they be saved or deleted?
    3. Is there another solution?
    4. Any other advice?
    Thanks for any help. And if I've skewered any terms here, forgive me. Sometimes dealing with this stuff is like learning another language.  Cindy

    First off, you are correct in the assumption that emails are sitting on your iPhone. You should, however have the option to set how much to sync, as well as what folders to sync to determine what is visible. The only setting to change that is to set a passcode on the phone.
    Also, deleting the emails and folders from the phone will result in them being deleted from the server, this is how IMAP works.
    To answer your other quesetions:
    1. That would have to be answered by Yahoo, since the server would have to be different. An IMAP server acts differently than POP.
    2. Deleting will delete everything everywhere.
    3. The only other solution I can think of is as I stated earlier is if there is a setting for days to sync in IMAP. I'm not sure of this since I do not use an IMAP account. I know that Exchange behaves in this way.
    4. If this does not work as you want after talking ot Yahoo, then maybe selecting a POP email provider and forwarding the Yahoo mail to that and picking up the POP mail on the iPhone.
    I think that Yahoo will give you information that you will need to start your search for answers.

  • Trouble emailing photos from iPhoto

    I'm hvaing trouble emailing photos from within iPhoto. I'm constantly getting this error message. I've checked the accounts and the usernames and passwords are all entered correctly. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    That's been a problem for a number of users lately.  Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, delete your email account there and then add it back from scratch. Then try again. 
    If that fails reset your mail client to Mail in iPhoto's General preference pane and use Mail.  Mail has stationary photo templates similar to iPhotos but also saves a sent copy of any emails your send.

  • Retrieve email addresses from everyone who ever sent me an email?

    Hello all,
    Is there a way to retrieve every email address from everyone who has ever sent me an email? Is there a file somewhere? I don't mind if I have to cut and paste them into my address book. I have never used my address book, which was not too smart.

    there is no file but you can do it using Mail Scripts. http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    It has a script to import addresses from selected emails into Address Book. select all emails in your inbox and use it.

  • Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

    I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
    emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
    Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

    Hi,
    Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
    the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
    your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
    If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

  • Can i recover emails deleted from the cloud after reformating my HD

    can i recover emails deleted from the cloud after reformating my HD, these are very important emails, after reformatting my hard drive to fix some trouble i was having w/ maverics, these copies were deleted, and my icloud deletes messages more than a month old. help??

    Hi,
    If you use the iCloud.com login or the Mail App and "fetched" the Mail and deleted that way there is not way to get it back.
    You could have archived it or placed it in Folders (created in Mail or on the web Login) and that will have stored them on the IMAP server and they would have been retrievable.

  • Email originating from Mail.app is junked

    Community,
    My company is using Exchange 2003 for our email server, which has had its series of troubles. However, the most recent one seems related to the new Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, instead of an aging Exchange server.
    Email is set up as IMAP on both mobile and desktop devices. This is due to the lack of Exchange support in newly released versions of Mac OS.
    The strange thing is, that email sent from the desktop computers, even to other emails in our domain ([email protected] <--> [email protected]), show up as Junk. However, emails from the iPhones or iPads do not.
    Has anyone seen an issue like this? We're starting to troubleshoot a variety of possiblities to begin finding the issue, but there are literally a thousand different reasons this might happen... Could be awhile!
    Thanks for any information,
    Charlie

    This has not been a problem with the use of Lion as the source of messages?
    I suspect it is due to the presence of HTML in messsage text, which as been a problem in OSX for a long time, but only in Lion did it become harder to prevent by making the message Plain Text.  I know how to prevent Rich Text/HTML in Lion, and suspect the same is needed for Mountain Lion but have not yet had time to confirm as the same issue.
    If you send me an email that will typically get marked as Junk, it might speed my analysis.  My email can be found by clicking on my name to the left, and looking in the bio line of the resulting Profile.
    The server may be adding a Junk or SPAM labeling, and your email may only be responding to that header -- that is one of the thing I need to see from an example.

  • Bug with automatic email retrieval (don't want to ...

    Please tell me where to report bug?
    When I set automatic email retrieval on my N71 after retrieving email phone stay connected and don’t want to disconnect automatically so i need go to inbox and set disconnect.  Its a stupid way of automatic retrieval it suppose to connect, check mail and disconnect. I try it on my N95, same problem. It's spending battery too much. And it’s a big bug.

    Hi Rumcajs,
    Any ideas why the connection is not lasting for the day instead of 10-30mn?
    Or let me re-phrase: How can I have the e-mail client on my E75 to pick up e-mails on the e-mail server all day long and instantly as it works for web-browser or using thunderbird client? As a user I want to turn on my phone in the morning and then select the "connect all" option either on my Wi-Fi network or 3G network and then get my e-mails all day long without having to re-connect every 1/2 hour (in my case 5mn).
    I'm using multiple e-mail accounts: my work account (IMAP idle), gmail and windows live.
    If I select the "connect all" option it usually connect to only one of the mailbox and never to the three of them.
    I usually have to repeat the "connect all" operation 3 times. Why and what (if there is one) is the fix so that the connect all does connect to all your e-mail accounts in one go?
    The connect all is an option from the main e-mail screen, where you can see the icons of all your different e-mails accounts and the settings, new and help icons.
    Last, it would be good to be able to use Nokia's "destination" for e-mail account. The "destination" feature work with other application and it is very appreciated to prioritise the connection (Wi-fi 1, Wi-fi 2, ... Wi-fi x,  3G) to use.
    Any ideas if this will be supported soon?
    Regards,
    Benoit
