Gmail IMAP not receiving mail...

I have been using POP for gmail for a while and just switched to IMAP on mail 3.6....i have received all the present email for today and its backtracking at 10-15kb/s to retrieve my 6000 emails...I am able to send but not able to receive any new mail. Is this because this backtracking/retrieving all my old emails is taking place? Iam trying to receive new email WHILE the retrieving is taking place. Should i have to wait for all the emails to be downloaded before i can start receiving all of my new mail going forward?
Thanks

Gmail IMAP Not Receiving, Only Sending on BB - PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello All!
This is my very first post and I'm really hoping someone can help me.
I have been using gmail as my personal email and it's been syncing wonderfully via IMAP with my blackberry. My company just migrated over to a hosted gmail and I've added the email address to my BB and have configured the setting to IMAP enabled. I added the additional Lab to make sure the "show in imap" is checked off. However, I'm not receiving any emails. The ironic thing is that I'm able to send emails via my bb but when I reply from the outside address (reply via online), the reply message arrives in my actual inbox but not on my bb.
I have a Bold 9650, Verizon carrier, OS 6.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Hi mishael53 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
You indicated you are using OS 6 on your BlackBerry Bold 9650. Are you referring to the handheld software or the BlackBerry Desktop Manager version?
As well, can you send me your PIN via Private Message? I can take a look into this further to see why you may be having problems receiving your work email.
Thanks

My ATT IMAP Mail account will not receive mail unless I rebuild the mailbox.

Hi - I have one ATT IMAP Mail account that does not receive mail promptly, often taking hours or even days to arrive unless I rebuild that particular mailbox. Another IMAP account with a different provider works fine. I have tried to figure out the problem with ATT, but they seem to think the problem is Apple Mail. I know the mail should be arriving because I can see it in in webmail, but it doesn't arrive until immediately after I rebuild. What's up with this and how do I fix it?

AT&T uses Yahoo for mail service, and Yahoo often causes problems with Mail in OS X, so there may not be a good solution. You can try the following.
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Not receiving mail---just spinning

Why is mail server imap.gmail.com not receiving
Why is mail icon continuing to spin with no incoming mail showing up

Impossible to say without knowing the details of your mail configuration.

After installing ios6 I am not receiving mail

After installing ios6 I am not receiving mail. I can send, but not receive. Am I required to activate iCloud for mail or is there some other problem? I have checked settings and they are unchanged and correct.

I found the big red "delete account". (Sometimes things are just too obvious.)
I deleted and re-entered. When I hit next I get the error message that the "username and password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect." What is imap?
My gmail account is working fine when I go to it directly. Does the fact that I receive a text with a verification code the first time I log on from a new computer have anything to do with this problem?

TS3276 Mail account set up. Can not receive mail-Everything is green in Connection doctor but when checking activity it shows stop signs. Was able to receive mail until last week then all of a sudden stopped receiving mail but no changes were made.

My mail account has been set up and working to send and receive mail for several months. All of a sudden I can not receive mail. The connection doctor shows all green lights. No changes have been made and nothing has been changed on preferences on IMAP and SMTP. I can send mail. My other accounts all send and receive mail. When you click on activity the list shows stop signs. All accounts show that they are online.

UPDATE:
I deleted all the messages off the server of the offending email address and everything works fine now.

Not receive mail

It is not possible to send e-mail. The message in the screen is 'the connection with the outgoing server failed.
I checked al the options I received from my provider and everything is ok. Maybe inside of the Ipad the SSL is on.
I do not know how I can fix this problem.
I also do have the problem with my Iphone4.
Somebody knows how to fix it?
Thanks!

Like you, I'm not receiving mail consistently, and additionally I can't quit Mail properly.
I'm not using Gmail (rather iCloud), but I'm getting similar issues: there's no indication in Mail that it's not working (no spinning wheels, nothing greyed out); I only know it's not receiving mail properly because my iPhone or iPad have lots of mail coming in.
Like you, I have to quit and relaunch, BUT I can't even quit from the Mail app - I select quit, and the window disappears, but the little bubble never disappears at the bottom of the screen. I have to Force Quit from the Activity Monitor. If I do that, and then reopen, it works fine - for a while (maybe a day or two?).
The two problems - not receiving mail, and not being able to quit - seem related: they always come together. If I'm receiving mail, I can also quit properly.

Hotmail not receiving mail

Hi I want to change your e-secret questions because I forgot the answers I have tried sending reset questions on my mail and I have not received mail

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)
