Get Mail indicator

I have 4 email account addresses in my In Box and I used to get a spinning wheel beside each of them indicating that it was checking for mail, when ever I clicked on Get Mail.
For some reason those little indicators have disappeared so that I never know if my program is checking for mail or not.
Does anyone know where to go to choose that option, I've gone through all of the menus but couldn't find anything.
Thanks

Mine still has the spinning wheels.
You can also enable the "Mail Activity" lower panel in the left side.
At the bottom left there are 3 choices.
+ , an arrow pointing down, and a wheel...
Click on the arrow and the "Mail Acitivity" window will stay in the lower left of the window...
When you get new mail, there will be a blue progress bar that will show you the mail coming in..

My Voice mail indicator not working I have no idea I have voicemails how do I get it to work again with out hard reset?

At somepoint I have been getting voicemails and have not known it because the voice mail indicator is turned off. Called my voicemail and that is not an option when I go to my personal options. I am out of service due to the building that I work in and do not reiceive calls and missed calls do not always show up.. so indicator is needed. PLEEAAASSEEE HEEELLLPPP!!!

Okay so I did all that and I noticed that when someone calls me and my celullar data is on the voicemail registers..... when my cellular data is off and a call comes in and goes to voicemail.... it does not register until I go to call someone else then the notice comes on for as long as I am on the phone.... if I do not make a call for a few days I never know that I have a phone call. I turn off my cellular data since I only have 250MB for the month... and most of the time I am in a wifi zone....which make me wonder if my cellular data is turned on and I am in a wifi zone and should miss a call since the wifi takes over would I get the notice... I should not have this turned on all the time for the sole purpose of knowing if at some time I am in a dead zone and miss a call or not sitting right next to it.... my office is a dead zone as it is in an industrial building..... this is very disappointing especially since it was working for me at some point..... in conclusion still not working

Mail 3.3 has no indicator of "getting mail"

I've finally upgraded to Leopard (10.5.3) and noticed that in the new version of Mail there's no longer the little spinning collection of spokes (not the whirling colored beachball of death) that indicates "getting mail." I got quite used to this in the older versions of Mail. Is this gone forever, or is there some way I can turn it on? I want to see that the utility is getting my messages off the server, and not have to depend on the sound that plays after the task is completed.
Anybody have an answer?

I've got some real confusion around this. I have two MBPs, both running OS X 10.5.3 and Mail 3.3. On mine, I see the spinning wheel for checking and sending mail, which like the original poster I've become very accustomed to and like. But on my son's MBP, which I'm just setting up, I cannot get that wheel to appear. I can open up the activity window, but it remains blank when it's checking mail. ANy ideas?
thanks!

No more spinning beach ball when you click on get mail?

Hi
I just bought a new iMac.
I did not have M/L on my old machine. In the mail program in it (it had Lion) when you clicked on the Get Mail button, a beach ball would spin to let you know that it was looking for mail. There is no spinning beach ball in the M/L mail program. So, how do I know that it is working? Other then when an email shows up in the in box?
Thanks

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
Mail 6.2
The "spinning gear" activity indicator is no more available in Mountain Lion.
Apple removed it.
There is a "MAIL ACTIVITY" progress bar available in the left sidebar.
Best.

IOS 6 mail indicator

With IOS 6 the new mail indicator on the home screen defaults to the VIP mailbox. Is there a way to change it to show how many new messages are in the inbox?

I'm having the exact same issues here too, ever since upgrading to iOS4, before then it was working just fine. I have a hosted IMAP account from gandi.net as they are my domain registrar and host, so to confirm what I've been reading, it's definitely not an issue with a particular mail service, but the Mail app itself. Accessing it from Mail on my Macbook (10.6.4) works just fine, not one issue. I do find that restarting my iPod Touch (2nd generation) does seem to resolve the issue, or rather get the messages all caught up, but the issue comes right back again with new messages. I hope the next update expected from Apple this week or next will resolve the issue.

False "new mail" indicator

Upgraded to Mavericks, now I'm getting a false "new mail" indicator on both my dock and Mac Mail program. It's only on one on of my three email accounts, and I've already tried a smart mailbox to search for any unread emails. Had this happen before on my MacBook Pro, no one at the Genius Bar could figure it out. Now I'm on my MacBook Air, less than a year old, it's making me NUTS!
Anyone have any ideas how to proceed?

UPDATED: the Mavericks 1.0 update just debugged the Gmail problem, so all good. Grateful to the nerds in Cupertino for handling their business.

Cannot Get Mail Connection to Server Failed

Ok, I am not a very good with setting things up but I have the itouch 16GB, I have managed to set up my email and am receiving new ones but I can not connect when I am away from my home, everytime I try to connect I get the following message, *Cannot get mail,The connection to the server "pop3.live.com" failed.* Can anyone help as to what I have done wrong or what I need to do to make this work. Many thanks

Tina,
You need a good WiFi connection first. You can get a WiFi signal, tell your touch to connect to the network (which it does) and still not be able to do anything - like check e-mail.
I've noticed that a lot of free hotspots here in the States make you go through a web page to "log on" to their networks. Even if it is free, you still have to go through this system.
Next time this happens, open Safari and touch one of your bookmarked pages. Chances are the network log on screen will pop up. Do whatever it asks, and that network will release your log on to begin working.

How do I get mail to keep font size?

My signature files were set to use a Helvetica 12 point font, and I have also tried an Arial 12 point font, but when I email to users who all use outlook (at different sites, and not all on exchange) the email shows up with a much bigger font.
Any suggestions on how to get mail to send the right font? my signature looks quite funny in 18 point font. :-)

Iphone mail app regularly requires restart to get mail flowing???

Anyone seeing this issue? Advice re how to fix?
My iphone mail app regularly requires restart to get mail flowing. That is it is running (doesn't crash) but will at time just stop getting email updates. I then have to force close the mail app (i.e. kill it) and then restart it. After restarting it the mail flows again.
Notes:
a) I do connect to Gmail for my mail - I'm using the IMAP facility for gmail currently (i.e. not the "Exchange" method)
b) I do also have the Google "Gmail" app running on my device too
c) on iPhone 3GS, latest version of IOS

I have this same problem too. I have both a hotmail and work Microsoft Exchange account setup on my iPhone and have intermitent issues with both. Sometimes the hotmail push works, but my work email doesn't push, other times it's backwards, and sometimes neither work. I can't figure it out. Usually restarting the app (closing out of the multitasking bar), and/or going into settings and disabling the affected mail account works. And to top it, I have an iPad, I'll hear the mail chime go off on my iPad, expecting it to go off on my phone....and it never does, not until I manually fetch it.
Very frustrating.

I created a second email account with a password but when I try to get mail for it and I put in password it says login failed. Why? and how do I fix it.

I created second email account ([email protected]) with a Password but when I try to get mail and enter password, it says "Sending of Password did not succeed. Mail server mail.comcast.net responded: login failed". What am I doing wrong?

Have you logged on to the webmail account using a browser and enabled either Pop or Imap forwarding for that email address?
Have you created a mail account in Thunderbird that uses the chosen webmail forwarding option?
Password - make sure caps lock is not switched - it must be the same password you use to access the webmail account.
check:
Tools > account Settings > Server Settings
username = full email address

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

New iMac, migrated from macbook and now mail won't work. Tried re-installing operating system, still doesn't work. Can anyone help me to get mail working? thanks

I just bought a new iMac and I thought that it would be simple to migrate from my MacBook.
I have a time machine back-up so I decided to migrate using that. Everything seemed to instal pretty well with the exception of mail. To begin with I had 2 mail icons, then I started to read some forums and checked that i had the one I wanted in the applications folder, deleted the other and then downloaded the new operating system. Mail had to be force quit first and even when the download was complete Mail still wouldn't open or run. The only thing I can do is compose a new message, but I can't see my inbox at all.
It's really frustrating and I would love to know in a simple step by step guide how to get mail up and running with my existing migrated emails in it.
If anyone can give me some advice that would be great.
thanks in advance.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.
