Having problems "receiving" email from a friend.

For the past month, I have not been able to receive emails sent to me by a friend. My email address is the same. His address is the same. Nothing has changed. He has a yahoo account. He does not get any indication, or message his email bounced, or failed to deliver. Neither do I. It just doesn't arrive. I am able to send emails to his address. I have been receiving emails from his address for years. Just stopped working. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

i receive test emails to myself just fine. I did discover today that another email my friend sent went to my mobileme junk folder. Another test email he sent went to junk folder on my mac. Previously, I didn't see his emails in my junk folder at all, but they could have been. How do I make sure his email address isn't blocked or marked as junk? Is it as simple as making an entry into my address/contact book? Obviously, I should have already done this, but I haven't done that. Thanks for your response.

I am having problems receiving emails on my ipad mini, if my wi fi has been off for 3 days for eg. when I switch it on it will only send me emails from that day and not from the previous 3 days

Have you already looked at these emails on a computer?

I'm very sorry for any trouble with messages, kmorr1. I'm determined to assist you in getting this resolved. Can you provide some details? What happens when you try to get messages from her? Which model device do you use? How about her device model? When did you first notice this?

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.

Problems receiving email from United Airlines

I can not receive email from United Airlines! I tested this to isolate the problem in multiple ways- I requested the United flight itinerary be sent (via a web request) to my address at [email protected] and [email protected] and to my @icloud address. None of them worked. Then I had the same itierary sent to a work email address on the same computer and same network and received it no problem. I checked all my junk mail filtering- nothing from United was apparently flagged either on the web-version of macmail or my laptop macmail. Then, I requested United send the iterinary to my husband's @mac.com account- also would not go through! Again, tried same request to my work address- same host (ATT), same hardware, same network, same 5 minutes, same request from United. -- got the itinerary no problem. I could FORWARD the work email containing the United itierary to my @mac address-- got it- same 5 minutes etc. So this has got to be a filtering problem from Apple that they have not told us about! I cannot believe no one else has noticed thisn (see a Yahoo problem that others have reported)! I cant figure out how to let Apple know there is a problem!

For two years I have been emailing with a friend in Europe who uses a yahoo account with no problem. Suddenly I am no longer receiving his emails - neither he nor I have made any changes. I use iCloud. Anybody have a clue how to troubleshoot this or resolve it?

Having problems receiving messages from queue

Hi,
I have one machine simply sending messages to a message queue on another machine. I know that the messages are arriving at the destination queue because I can use a modified version of the SimpleSyncConsumer program from the j2ee tutorial to receive the message with no troubles.
On the destination machine, I also have deployed a web servlet that is trying to do the exact same thing as the SimpleSyncConsumer, connecting to the same connection factory and same destination resource, yet it cannot receive (non-block) the message. It's almost as if it has connected to the wrong queue. There doesn't seem to be any indication of errors prior to the attempt to receive. The connection factory, connection session, consumer, all look fine.
Does anyone know why I'm getting this problem?
Thank you very much

Thanks to strachaj and pazhanikanthan for your replies.
I'd also like to emphasize the small (not servlet) application I made that is just like the SimpleSyncConsumer program which uses the same code I used inthe servlet, to connect to the servlet's queue and that it is able to receive the message.
Is there some configuration that needs to be done on the servlet war file using the deploytool to enable it to properly receive the message? I noticed the other examples in the tutorial made use of MDB's which required some extensive configuration (that dealt with queues) from the deploytool. I did not use any MDB's as I didn't think it was necessary judging from how the SimpleSyncConsumer connected to the queue. Am I mistaken?
Thanks again!

Not receiving emails from specific address

I'm having problems receiving emails from a friend of mine. They can receive my emails from my btinternet.com account ok but all replies to me are never arriving. They can send ok to another of my email addresses. They do not even receive any kind of error notification. How do I resolve this please?

Thanks. I asked them to send the last reply to both my email addresses. I can see from the email that they are using the correct address so it can't be that. Their ISP is fasthosts. Maybe they've been blacklisted? How can I tell?
Hi.
Do you have a gmail or hotmail account they can send to ?
Have you checked the spam folder, in case they have ended up there ?
If I may be as bold to say, Fasthosts are not exactly clean in removing spammers. I have reported many to them over the years, and they ignore everything. They don't even reply. I'm afraid it's been noticed :-
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/internet/3298563/fasthosts-sees-88-increase-in-complaints-about-spam...
The report doesn't say that spamming in the UK is against the law.
Note that I am not saying this is the reason for any emails not being received, but there is a possibility.

Receiving Email from outside

anyone having problems receiving email from outside? I sent my self a test and I got that but not anything else - I have restarted mac but didn't help.

Having the same issue! It took me 50 minutes to receive an email with one Word attachment this morning. Better than yesterday tho where I didn't receive emails with attachments at all. I cleared my junk mail filter but mail receipt is still sporadic. Also, sending email out is so very sssssslow.

After upgrading to Yosemite, I don't receive email from Gmail users

Using a MacBook Pro, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD internal hard drive. OSX v10.10.2
My primary email address is an .mac/.me/.icloud email address.
Recently upgraded to Yosemite. After doing so, I am having trouble receiving emails from Gmail users (I am not having trouble sending emails from my Gmail account, as many people have).
I asked 8 of my friends with Gmail email addresses to email me a test. I received 4 of these emails immediately after they were sent, the other 4 email took anywhere from 4 to 48 hours for me to receive.
Anyone else have this problem, and if so, any solutions? Any help is greatly appreciated.

There have been various posts about delayed Gmail e-mail delivery to iCloud e-mail addresses, but so far, no solutions. Gmail uses a nonstandard form of IMAP e-mails, which may be causing the problem.

TS3899 Problems sending email from hotmail addresses in iPad Mail

Hi
I am having problems sending email from my hotmail addresses (live.com) in the Mail program on my iPad. I get a message that says "An error occurred while sending this message". Tis morning the program worked perfectly. Now, not so much!
I have turned my iPad off and on. I have deleted and reinstalled the mail accounts. Neither strategy helped.
I have no problems with my gmail address. I can send mail if I log on to the hotmail website in Safari.
Any ideas?
Thanks

23circles:
I would like to find a way to only have the gmail inbox but still send from any three of her accounts.
You can do it this way:
Set up only one account. The one from which you want to receive mail.
In Mail > Preferences > Accounts > +gmail acct+ > Email Address insert the other email addresses, separating each with a comma and single space.
Only the GMail account will receive incoming Mail. However, when you want to send from another address, in the From dropdown menu toggle the address from which you wish to send mail.
You will, of course, delete the other accounts you have created to avoid getting incoming messages.

Email recipients having problems receiving and opening attachments after iOS7 update. Help!

I use my iPad for work, and often send emails with multiple PDF attachments via the GoodReader app. Since updating to iOS7, people are having problems receiving and/or opening my attachments. All available updates have been installed for both the iPad and GoodReader apps.
My emails either show up with NO attachments, or with a box marked with an "X".
I Googled and learned others are having the same issue, especially when sending single page PDFs.
The email address/account I am using is through the Microsoft Exchange. I will say, however, when I try sending the attachments from my iCloud email account, I have no problems. I also had no problems with iOS6.
Someone is probably going to tell me this is a Microsoft problem and not an Apple problem. Regardless, I need a solution. This is very frustrating. I'm ready to go back to using my Windows-based laptop. HELP!

Solution for me was changing the "Load Remote Images" setting, shutting down and restarting the phone. The old messages with problems reloaded with all attachments accessible.
Background: I began having this problem recently with PDF, jpeg,vcf files and apparently now, all attachments as well as email with html links are coming through with no attachment or as empty email. This was a new problem for me. I have been backing up to the cloud, but not using a cloud email account. I have multiple accounts on the phone, six of them actually and have been set up this way for over a year without problem. Some are imap, some pop, none are through exchange.

I'm having problems receiving/sending emails thru Outlook.

I switched internet connection from AT&T to Comcast and I'm still utilized several AT&T email address's for free. I'm having problems receiving/sending emails thru Outlook. Could the problem be due to using their free emails with no support.
Do I have to go thru yahoo to read/send emails?

Change the ISP would not effect the email connection generally. (Only when ISP disable your mailbox which they could control directly.)
I suppose that your Outlook still store/cache the AT&T messages, try to export them as PST data file for backup.
Setup the new Yahoo in your current Outlook first and then import that backup.pst to continue to use.
