Get Mail icon

I have Mail 4.5 on a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro both on OSX 10.6.7.
On the MBP the Get Mail icon appears on the far left of the Toolbar
but on the Mac Pro it is amongst the other icons near the centre.
Why the difference?
thanks
Pete

Hey,
None
If you go to view > customize toolbar on mail you can move the icons on the top of mail around. and this is what has happened on the Mac Pro, someones moved the icon, just click and drag to move it back to the left if you wish

TS3276 When I click on the "Get mail" icon, nothing happens even though I know there is mail. However, if I click on "send" and then go back to the Inbox, the emails start loading. What's going on?

Make sure your Mac's software is up to date.
Click your Apple menu  top right in your screen.
From the drop down menu click Software Update.

Macbook Pro Mail Issue - BT Yahoo - Have to click on 'get mail' icon.

Hi all
I have a Macbook Pro 2013. I have added my BT Yahoo account using the 'Mail' which was working fine. However, I noticed I wasn't receiving e-mails in a timely fashion, they wolud arrive a day or so after being sent. I have checked the advanced account settings in preferences against BT Yahoo's correct config details and all looks ok. My iPad/iPhone receive test e-mails I have sent immediately (They are configured the same as the MP), but I have to click on the 'Envelope' icon to get my mail on the MP. Once I press this icon I receive my e-mails.
Could anyone tell me what needs to be changed please?
Thanks in advance - Rik

Yes the same thing has happened to me...soooo fristrating. I still get my email on my ipad and iphone though....but need it on my expensive macbook!!! HELP

My "get mail" circle icon is stuck at about 11:00 ??? Help....

Actually I have two questions.
1) why is my get mail icon stuck? I just sent myself an email from my wife's computer and recieved it fine, but the icon will not go away. It seems to be stuck.
2) just tonight all my inbox email headers have changed. - there is now tons of blank space before the actual email ... I have to scroll way down to see my message?
Any help would be great. Thank you!

For both posters:
I have investigated and reported some issues with both .mac and IMAP accounts, including what you report. I don't really see the impact on my G5, but only on my iBook when I test with it. Read the topic linked below, and share your thoughts:

The way Tiger is caching messages can also show up in difficulty in viewing some messages with attachments. Also see:

Let me know if you change the preference to not keep copies of messages and attachments for Offline viewing, and whether it helps?

The mail icon on my iPhone says I have 1,504 unread messages, but when I go to delete them, it says "No Mail". I was trying to "clean out" my phone because I can't access my Words With Friends app - everytime I try to go there, it kicks me off. I still get messages from Words saying my friends are waiting for me. Any ideas on either of these issues?

Help! I can email when I am in my gmail web world, but cannot get my gmail default email to work. I have recently disabled my exchange email - and did select gmail as my default. When I try and use the mail icon, my email doesn't work. HELP!

How can I get my default email to work on my iPad? Gmail in my browser is fine, but I can't send anything if I am not in gmail. Why is my mail icon not working?

You probably messed up the password/ server set up. Delete the account from the pad, and re enter it. Pay real close attention to the password entry. Upper lower case etc. if they ask you for an optional name a second time, fill it in. G mail works fine on mine.

When I tap the mail icon on my iPhone 4s, the menu of email servers pops up. I already have a me acct that I check all the time, no problem. So I choose iCloud, sign in and it tells me that I already have an acct-.so why can't I get to my emails then?

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
Any more clues?

I lost my safari and mail icons. How can I get them back in the screen?

I lost my safari and mail icons on the ipad screen. How can I get them back or where can I find them?

Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

My e mail functionality doesnt work any longer on my 3gs phone. has worked perfectly for 18 months...now i just get a blank screen when i click on the mail icon...it still tells me how many mails I have waiting on the icon...any ideas?

my mail has been working perfectly on my 3gs iphone. I can now longer access the mail after tapping on the mail icon. All i get is a blank screen with a reload icon and a write icon at the bottom, neither of which responds when touched. The icon continues to tell me how many mails I have in my inbox and continues to update.
Any ideas?
am on version 4.3.4 operating system.
Thanks

I have tried that also, but its still doing the same thing

How do I get my mail-icon back on the display-buttom?

My daughter deleted the mail-icon - how di I get it back on the display?

You can't delete it. Look on all your screens and inside all your folders. When you locate it, tap and hold it until it wiggles, then drag it back to where you want it, finidh by tapping the home button. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

Why can I access Internet, and get my email through yahoo, but can't access email when I use the mail icon on the front of my tablet. It just started doing this today.

Why can I access the Internet, even get my email by going through yahoo, but as of this morning I can not access my email from the mail icon on my tablet screen. It just started doing this today. When I try to get my email by going through the icon, I am asked to enter yahoo password. I do this, then the box just pops up again, and again and again never letting me get signed in. Don't know what I am doing wrong. Need help!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

E mail hacked. E mail accessible on web and yahoo app but cannot get it on usual mail icon. Get message "cannot connect to server" when I try to open the account which I deleted as it wasn't letting me see my mail.

My yahoo email was hacked. Changed password but since then unable to access account in usual way via "mail" icon.
Deleted yahoo account and tried to set it up again on I phone and I pad. Just keep getting message "cannot access server". Can read and send e mail via yahoo app but would like all e mail accounts back to under one icon. My I cloud account is still there.

the settings program will not allow me to enter any of those cells. the accounts section is all in grey scale (not black) and none will open including "add account"

How can I get a mail icon on toolbar that will take me to "Mail"?

Just downloaded version 3.6.11 and noticed that my mail icon on toolbar is no longer. Used to click the icon to get to my mail program (which is Mac's "mail") while running Firefox. How can I get the icon back on the toolbar (have already set preferences for "mail"?

You need to keep in mind that Gmail works differently than how Outlook works. Gmail is web mail that is accessed through a web browser, where Outlook is a locally installed email program that communicates directly with an email server.
