Email was working perfect, now only some arrive (from Yahoo)

Hello,
The strangest thing. Email on my Macbook Pro (running Lion) was working perfectly and has been since Lion and of course since before that - I had other problems with Lion but never mail. My actual mail account is with Yahoo.
Now, weirdly, some emails are being correctly collected by the Lion mail client, but others are not. To check it wasn't me going mad, or some quirk where all my friends were suddenly doing something wrong, I tested it myself from another mail account and:
1. The email was correctly delivered to the Yahoo mailbox (verified by opening the mailbox using the web access).
2. The email was correctly delivered to my iPhone.
3. However the desktop client in Lion steadfastly refuses to see this message or download it (even though it remains on the server unread).
Any ideas?
I am not a Mac expert so this apparently self-generated and random problem could be an annoying long term problem.
Thanks in advance
Alastair

sorted. stupid really. for some reason the Mac had put one of the mailboxes (the offending one) offline. no reason why, not obvious it had done it, but anyway - sorted.

  • M7667c prob: was working perfect, now no video on startup

    A friend gave me a HP M7667C desktop tower recently; at first, it was fine, fired up great and I was removing all the games and aftermarket software he had amassed on the HD. After that, I began to remove unnecessary PCI hardware from the PC: WiFi card, 56K modem and TV/FM card (with the cables leading to ports in front and back). I also added 2GB more DDR2 RAM (came stock with 2GB DDR2 RAM, total 4GB) and replaced the processor from an E6400 Core2 Duo (2.13 GHz, 2MB) to an E8500 Core2 Duo (3.17 GHz, 6MB), both use Socket #775. I think I did too much without checking progress gradually, because now when I fire it up, not even an intro page pops up; the CD-ROM lights & power light come on, fans come on, HD spools but no picture on the monitor whatsoever. I've backtracked to the E6400, removed the 2GB aftermarket RAM, replaced all other cards, replaced the power supply, you name it...to no positive effect. The graphics card is the stock nVidia GeForce 7500LE and was working just fine. I even re-seated everything...nothing. Monitor is fine, VGA cable is fine.
    Aside from that, I did get a switch box which allows 2 towers to use the same monitor: it was a mechanical pushbutton switch box, not the electronic type. It came out of the box, got hooked up, I tried to punch buttons...nothing. One button popped out and they'd alternate properly with presses, 1-2-1-2-1-2, etc. So, both towers were feeding signal into a single monitor for a few moments. Well, I really did it now. I'm about ready to beat this thing senseless but I came here to seek advice. It was working fine...and I screwed it up.

    Scred, I am sorry that it has taken so long to reply to your last question.
    Here are the compatible CPU's: Intel Core 2 Duo E6x00 with Dual Core technology (Conroe).
    Please note that it specifically states (Conroe).  Therefore, I don't believe that any of those you mentioned will work properly.  At least, HP doesn't support them.
    I haven't used my flt sim for quite some time, but I know that they are memory hogs.  I don't believe that the CPU is as important as the amount of memory.  It appears that you are running Win XP 32-bit.  This means that you are limited to 4 GB (OS is only able to utilize 3.5 GB) of memory.
    Since the computer is over 7 years old, personally, I wouldn't spend a lot of money on upgrades.

  • TS3899 I can't access my yahoo emails in the email in the iPhone 5c it was working perfectly fine earlier an now it quit

    I can't access my yahoo emails in the email in the iPhone 5c it was working perfectly fine earlier an now it quit

    I have a similar problem. I was receiving email on my iPhone for months, and then it quit working. When it quit working, I continued to receive emails on my iPad even though the server and port settings were exactly the same between the two devices. I tried deleting and re-adding my email account on the iPhone and restarting my iPhone, but I still couldn't receive email on the device. The only way I could get email to work on my iPhone was to switch to using a POP3 email server (this is the server that my phone auto detected when I re-added my email account) -- the server that was working previously and that is still working on my iPad is an IMAP email server. Since the IMAP server settings continue to work on my iPad, it seems that the problem is with my iPhone and not my email server.

  • Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help :)

    Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help

    For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
    Hope this helped a bit, Sean

    My ipod touch (geration 4) wont load my internet it just keeps giving me the loading sign. It was working perfectly fine untill yesterday for some random reason and now it wont load at all. Again it just gives me a loading sign and the wifi symbol wont come up.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have an iphone 4s unlocked with att prepaid plan (non-contract), everything was working perfect BUT since i update to IOS6 i can not send MMS to anybody has Android, i went to att technical center they said only apple store can fix the problem, i went..

    I have an iphone 4s unlocked with att prepaid plan (non-contract), everything was working perfect BUT since i update to IOS6 i can not send MMS to anybody has Android, i went to att technical center they said only apple store can fix the problem, i went to Apple store MANY times they could not fix it, so they gave me a new iphone 4s and they said they fixed it but they did not,iam so mad that's not fair, can somebody help me please.

    The nice thing about owning this overpriced POS is that Apple not only doesn't support it, but also doesn't want to hear about anything negative regarding it.  So I spoke to the so-called "support" people at Apple who successfully screwed up my contacts beyond repair.  I got a nice email from Apple asking me to rate the support I got.  I was actually civil and described the issue tactfully.  What do I get in return?  Nothing.  Not a damned thing!!  You're luck you've got me by the short hairs on a 2 year contract but I'm still tempted to throw this POS through the front window of the nearest Apple store!!  Not only will I be replacing this phone with a competitive product but I won't be buying anymore Apple crap.  I guess when you con 27 million people into believing your rhetoric and sales lies, you don't have to care whether some customers get screwed or not.  I'll be going back to Verizon and threatening legal action if they don't take this electronic dung heap back but I'm sure the teams of lawyers Apple and Verizon have on staff have insured that I have no rights in this matter and you're free to screw me anytime you please.  Sad. I used to love Apple as a company and your products.  Now you're just another Microsoft with more trendy looking junk.  I've had it with you.  If any of your executives are brave enough to talk to me, please contact me at your convenience.

    If you installed Leopard that is why you can't install Mt Lion. The system Must be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to upgrade to Lion or Mt Lion.
    If you only erased the Macintosh HD partition then you left the Mt Lion Recovery HD partition in tact on that system. At startup hold down the Command+r keys to boot to the Recovery HD Partition. From there erase the Macintosh HD partition and then select Reinstall Mac OS X. It should then download Mt Lion and ask you for the Apple ID that was used to purchase Mt Lion.
    The Reason Snow Leopard might not be installing is because of the Recovery HD partition. To get rid of that you must First Re-Partition the drive As One Partition. Then install Leopard then SL (Or Snow Leopard from the start) and then update it to 10.6.8. Once that is done you should be able to log on to the Mac App Store and Re-Download Mt Lion.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • I dropped my phone into the bath last night and it was working perfectly fine the hole day, I went to put it on charge and now it won't charge or even turn on what do I do

    I dropped my phone into the bath last night and it was working perfectly fine the hole day, I went to put it on charge and now it won't charge or even turn on what do I do

    You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag with a dessicant safe for electronics such as silica gel pellets, or failing that in a bag of dry, uncooked rice, for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service) or buy a new iPhone.
    Good luck.
