First incoming email makes a sound, subsequent ones don't

hi,
i've found quite a few postings about os x mail not notifying on new emails. i have not seen anyone mention these symptoms though; when i launch mail for the first time and the fist mail comes in, i get a sound notification. no subsequent ones make a sound. i can reproduce this over and over with 100% consistency.
another interesting note is that if i go to the system preferences and change any sound preferences i get exactly the same behavior: one new email sound notification and no subsequent ones.
i only have one account (gmail) and it is IMAP. i have tried un-checking the Idle command and it does not work.
it is obvious that a process somewhere is hanging or dying after the first sound notification. the question is why and why doesn't apple fix this?

Hi bensenise,
I know the problem, too. And I think many Mac OS 10.5/10.6 Users do know as well.
It's a bug that has been there since the first release of 10.5. It occurs when you use an IMAP Mail Account in Mail.app (e.g. MobileMe or GMail). MobileMe and GMail both use push service to forward new messages to your device. Therefor the Mail.app uses the IMAP IDLE command to discover a new message - that's the case by default. The first new mail alert is played. But if you leave Mail.app opened the following alerts won't be played. The alert is only played when Mail.app uses the periodic polling to discover a new message.
The solution is to turn off the IDLE command, and make the polling interval shorter. In Mail, open Preferences and go to Accounts » Advanced in all your mail accounts and turn off the "Use IDLE command" feature. Next, go to the General section of Preferences, and set "Check for New Mail to Every minute" - you can set a longer interval if you want, so long as you don't set it to Manual.
Now your mail alerts should play for every incoming message, but you will see your messages up to one minute later than you would with the IDLE mechanism or on iPhone/iPad (e.g. with push/automatic syncing activated).
It's a pity that Apple did not find a solution for the bug by today. And if you want push forwarding for Mails on your Mac, this is not a satisfying solution.

RBDAPP01 - First IDoc the CMOD works all subsequent ones don't..

Hi All
I have an interesting issue with RBDAPP01, I have developed a CMOD in Include ZXVEDU04 to block duplicate orders based on the cust PO number and to convert the quantity coming in if certain Units of measure are specified by the trading partners.
When I test this with a single IDoc in WE19 everything works as expected.
If however I process multiple IDocs using RBDAPP01- the first IDoc is processed successfully, but ALL of the subsequent IDocs do not work correctly...
The user exit is being called for all IDocs as there is other code in the exit that is working for all of the IDocs and not just the first..
Has anyone come across this problem before?
Your views on this would be greatly appreciated..
Many Thanks.

The issue was with a static variable that was not being re-initialised when each Idoc was processed, hence the reason why it worked for one and not for multiple IDocs.
Please note therefore that SAPLVEDA does not initialise its variables for each IDoc that is processed.

My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for one contact. All other text messages from other individuals, including iMessage, all make appropriate alert sounds. Very frustrating. Any help out there?

My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for messages for one particular contact of mine. All other text messages come through with appropriate alert sounds. Any help out there?

As always seems to happen, the next thing you try ends up working. Well almost. I
Deleted the contact and sent a message from that phone to mine -- problem persisted
Deleted the person from my FAVORITES in the phone app (the entry still existed even though the contact had been deleted). This worked!!!
It's kind of weird that the favorites in the phone app were somehow affecting notifications in Messages for a contact that had been deleted, but there you are.

HT4528 hey so i have a few questions about my phone. who can help? first my phone makes no sound unless music is playing or im talking, other than that i cannot get it to ring when people call. second do i need to take it in if it freezes alot.

should i take my phone in?
will they replace it without a warrentey if its the phones fault and not mine?
why does the speakers work but it always vibrates even when vibrate is off and only sound is on?
why is it directing my to find help when im trying to make a purchase and refusing to processes the purchase?
And do all iPhones freeze all the time cuz, mine does.

Is the silent switch on the side of the iphone on?
Have you tried the basics? restart, reset, restore

Incoming Email not working for one web app, but IS working for others in same farm.

I have enabled incoming email in a large multi-web application farm running SharePoint 2013 SP1 and the Feb 2015/March 2015 CUs that were pushed down in Windows Updates. It works just fine for two web applications, but it will not work for one particular
web application. I see the email land in the /drop folder. If I remove the email address from the library in http://nonworkingapp web
application and use it on a library in a http://working web application, then the email is processed successfully. Conversely,
if I take an address from a library in http://working and move it to a library inhttp://nonworkingapp it
does not work. I've tried multiple site collections on http://nonworkingapp. This rules out any SMTP issues, etc. and means
the issue is bound to this web application. Permissions are the same between the "non-working" and "working" locations: domain users are members on the site, and the library inherits permissions from the site. The App Pool and Timer
Service accounts have rights to the folder and to the library.
The error in the ULS log is the typical error processing message, but it gives no additional information even though I have enabled Verbose logging.
The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch. The elapsed time was 00:00: 00.0156294. The service processed 2 message(s) in total. Errors occurred processing 2 message(s): Message ID: Message
ID:
Typically, you see "alias not found" or some permissions or quota issue here, but this issue is NOT the same as those. In this case NO additional information is provided in ULS.
Edit: running stsadm.exe -o refreshdms -url http://one/failing/site fixed some similar issues where "Unknown alias" was
reported even though the list did have an alias (see here:http://blogs.technet.com/b/vinitt/archive/2009/07/15/e-mail-enabled-list-alias-information-is-not-synchronized-between-configuration-database-and-content-database.aspx).
This did not fix the issue for the case mentioned above.
What could possibly be the issue preventing incoming email from working on this one web application?

Thanks for your reply. Incoming E-Mail was running on all 3 WFE, however I do not think this was the cause. As noted, _other_ emails send to http://workingapp are working just fine. I can send two emails - one to a library on http://workingapp
and another on http://notworkingapp. The email to http://notworkingapp will sit in the drop folder, while the one to http://workingapp will be processed correctly. In addition, the ULS log on WFE1 indicates an attempt to process the file fails.
So clearly, the timer job on WFE1 is running and attempting to process the file. For kicks, I disabled the service on WFE2 and WFE3, but with no change in the behavior.
WRT to #1, I have done this already (as noted in the original post). I can remove an alias from http://workingapp and place it on http://nonworkingapp and it is not processed. If I return it to http://workingapp it is processed. In other
words, I go into Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a working library, and copy the alias, then disable incoming email for that library. I then go to Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a non-working library, enable incoming email, and paste
the alias. Once done, emails sent to the alias are not processed. I then do the reverse, and it works again.
On #2, I have already tried multiple libraries on http://nonworkingapp (also as noted in the original post).
In my environment, incoming email does not work for any library on http://nonworkingapp, but does work for any library on http://workingapp. Troubleshooting listed above has ruled out any problem with basic mail server configuration or library settings
- the problem is bound to http://nonworkingapp
I'm not sure what you mean by "steps to reproduce the issue". If I knew that, I would probably be able to solve the issue. The best I could come up with to describe the situation would be:
Set up SP 2010 in a three-node configuration with multiple web apps
Enable incoming email and confirm it works
Migrate to a SP2013 SP1 farm in a three node configuration.
Enable a new email alias for a library
Observe that it doesn't work for one web application.
Obviously, it's pretty unlikely that attempting that in a lab would actually have the same result.

How does iphone assign a name to an incoming email address

Haven't seen this question posted before. I have several names in my Contact list with the same email address (i use them for eblasts to different groups). When an incoming email arrives, iPhone randomly grabs one of those names and assigns it to my email address. No one else sees this but me; however it is annoying to see some random group's name listed in the To: or cc: instead of my name. Is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Let me see if I can wrap my head around this...
This is the way I see it:
1) Sally, Sue and Joe all have the same email. [email protected]
2) You have separate entries in your contacts for Sally, Sue and Joe all with the above same email.
3) Sally sends you an email from her mac. She has her email set up as "Sally" with address [email protected]
4) When your iphone receives her email, it looks in your contacts list for [email protected]
You want to know how it finds "Sally" and not "Sue" or "Joe"?
Right?
It doesn't.
I tested this. I have a gmail account that does not live on my iphone. I logged in on my mac via the internet and sent a test message. I do not have that gmail account in my contacts, nor on my mac's address book, so the iphone has no knowledge of it.
It told me I got a message from my name, from my gmail account.
Ergo, the name was sent along with the email address, so it appears that item number 4 is not happening.
So, there is nothing you can do on the iphone, as it is not the iphone that is handling the name. The name comes from the sender, which you have no control over.
Assuming I understood your problem....

INCOMING EMAIL MAIL.

INCOMING EMAIL NO ATTACHMENTS
WHY?

You don't need a mailbox for Incoming Email. Typical flow (assuming you expose it to the Internet) would be, given we have a namespace specifically for SharePoint of sharepoint.company.com:
Internet -> (Receive Connector for sharepoint.company.com) -> Exchange -> (Send Connector for sharepoint.company.com) -> SharePoint
That simple! :-)
Here is an end-to-end guide on setting Incoming Email up:
http://thesharepointfarm.com/2013/02/a-practical-guide-to-implementing-incoming-email-using-the-sharepoint-directory-management-service/
Let me know if that clarifies on how this is set up, or if you need any further clarification.

When using FaceTime, my iMac makes noises. It dings like I am receiving an email and sometimes sounds like a busy signal, but this is while I am talking to someone. Any suggestions?

Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..

First time use of camera does not make a sound but use again then shutter sound can be heard

when i first usse the camera on my i phone 4s the shutter does noy make a sound.
when used again then the shutter soound works.....any ideas/????????????

so chris...
It IS in fact "New" as it started a couple of days ago - AND - something indeed has changed = "... updated to iOS 8.1" - BUT - a little unclear about the context of "... when (f)irst released all ok" part? are these two separate statements? "... updated to iOS 8.1 when it [was] first released" and "all was OK prior that point" and then started misbehaving right after the update? - OR are you saying that when "updated to iOS 8.1 [WHEN IT WAS] first released, all was OK - as in the shutter-snap sound worked fine and THEN suddenly began misbehaving"
In these forums, it may be to your advantage to try not using IDevice 'texting' practice of being brief... in here, MORE is more better.
If the update was the beginning of the issue, that may be added to the list of strange things that happen to some and not to others.
I would suggest a visit to the Genius Bar if one is nearby, but older iPhone may only get you so far if you don't stick by your claim that "everything was fine until I updated my iOS 8 version"
as I cannot help, I will leave you in this forum and further advice you may get here in Using iPhone (you know that you started the question out in Using Apple Support Communities forum)

OS4: Can I change the incoming email notification sound???

OS4: Can I change the incoming email notification sound???
I installed OS4 but still cant seem to.
HOW CAN I CHANGE MY INCOMING EMAIL ALERT SOUND???

Apparantly Apple have yet to realize that people like to customize their handsets.
I had an HP in 2001 and it had fully customized sounds.
It also had the option of a calendar on the Wallpaper - one of the most important features of a business handset.
OS4 on IPhone and yet the only way of someone getting these important features is to JB it. This is my 3rd Iphone and I won't be getting an IPhone 4, 5 or 6 until an OS update unlocks that wallpaper for a calendar.

@Alunasmoon,
I'm sorry to hear of the audio issues you are having with your iPhone 4S. I know how important it is to have a working phone and want to help get this resolved.
Are you still having audio issues when making a call? Does it happen with every call you make?
I recommend restarting your phone and retesting. If you are still having this issue please post back and I'll be more than happy to further assist you.

I have the iPhone 4. and when I updated the software to iOS6 My notifications don't make a sound anymore, the only sound that I get are text messages, or Email. I checked to see if the other apps were muted and they weren't. How do I fix this??

You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

I have sent in a question but don't think I worded it right. I have 3 email accounts. The all work fine. My problem is that I set up a "notication" the same way on all 3 but incoming emails are only notifed to me (alerts) on one of them.

How do I get notifications of incoming mail? I have set this up on 3 accounts and the "beep" only works on incoming email for one of the 3 accounts. The emails come in fine but I have to open up the phone to see if I have any messages.

Have you looked on all the pages of your iPod? Have you looked in all your folders? Have you you tried finding the apps using the iPod's search page.
PS: Offering points in advance is a violation of there terms of service for this forum. Perhaps it's why you have not received any other answers so far,

Need to kwon if there is a solution on how to remove "all" my incoming email in one go !!

I have few Epad and I would like to know if we have a solution on how to remove "in one go" all my incoming email.
Sometime I do not use my epad for some time and when I open it I have more than 1000 incoming emails, already answered with my home computer so... I would like to remove them all in on go and not one after the other !!!!
Many thanks if you have a solution
Best regards
Patrick

I would use iCloud to sync everything. In that way, if it is deleted one place, it disappears for all. Alternatively, my IMAP mail provider (data stored on the server) works the same way. If I delete it one place, it is gone everywhjere.

My ipod headphone jack is only allowing sound in one headphone. i tried multiple headphones to make sure it wasn't the headphone but the jack itself. i have a ipod video 5th generation.

Had you brought the same pair of headphones to the Apple Store with you and they worked there? If you hadn't, the wire or plug on those headphones may have failed. Try a different pair if you can and see if those work.
Hope this helps

First incoming email makes a sound, subsequent ones don't
