Having trouble checking mail

Since the 10.6.2 SNow Leopard my Mail program on my Mac has been really having problems. The spinning thingy just continuing on forever.
Suddenly checking mail on my iPhone is exhibiting the same behavior. It checks forever and never seems to stop. It can't seem to find some mail I've stored in a folder. It is getting a few pieces of mail, but continues to look for more.

Are you accessing the account via POP? If so, having both the Mac and the iPhone trying to access at the same time may cause problems (POP3 is really intended for a single mail client).

I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent.

I'm having troubles with Mail. Some mails (in particular to gmail addresses) are not sent. When sending an email, Mail apparently works for a while but does'nt sent anything. I repeated sending the mail with the same result and 2 or more mails in the draft folder. Yesterday I discovered that the mail had been sent 4 times!. Now I have the same problem: the mail has not been sent, it appears in the draft folder, I try to delete it but the mail remains in the draft folder. This happens after updating to Mac OS X 10.7.2 and migrating to iCloud.
I have MacBook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 Mb ram memory, Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2).

If those music are greyed out in iTunes on your laptop, are you able to play the music? If you cannot, it means that you probably deleted the mp3 file or moved it to another location where iTunes can no longer find. If they are greyed out on iTunes and cannot play them, I would just right click and delete it. Then re-sync with your iPad.

Is anyone else having trouble sending mail? I have a MobileMe subscription - not sure whether that is the problem. The Port assigned to my mail account on my iMac has a different number for the one recommended by Apple, but I hesitate to change it.

Is anyone else having trouble sending mail on an iMac running 10.6.8. I get a messsage that the server can't be accessed. Apple help suggests using a different port from the one that was originally set. I have a Mobile Me account. Any suggestions?

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

I'm having trouble deleting mail. When I select all and delete it doesn't always work. Is there a glitch in this app?

Have you reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that doesn't resolve this, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but all device settings will have to be entered again.
If that doesn't fix it, your next step might be to backup then erase all content and settings or restore the iPad to factory settings. See how if goes if you reset all settings first.

Having trouble with mail.app always cc'ing myself

Having trouble with mail.app always reply all is cc'ing myself. Solution was to add another address under the account so that it recoginzes aliases as well as the primary account that you are sending from. Then it will recognize all the addresses and aliases associated with the account.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

I am having trouble getting mail from the server that my new iMac is connected to. I have to reboot the system to get Outlook for Mac to access the system. Any ideas?

I am having trouble getting mail from the shaw server that my new iMac is connected to. I have to reboot the system to get Outlook for Mac to access the system and obtain new messages. Any ideas? Its at the point where I have started using the PC again as its less trouble.......

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

I'm having trouble printing Mail messages

I have just started having trouble printing my Mail messages. When I print through the Mail program, only the header (to/ from emails, date received, subject, etc) print out. This seems to be happening only with Gmail messages, but I can't be sure. I think it's new, and I haven't noticed any Mail software updates - then again, I usually just let all of the updates come through so it's possible something changed without me really noticing it.
Any suggestions other than copy and paste into a different application to print? It's kind of frustrating...

This appears to be a Mac OS X 10.4.11 issue caused by pressing <Enter> or <Return> after doing File > Print, but before the Print dialog sheet has been fully displayed. Waiting a couple of seconds to let the Print dialog be fully displayed seems to “fix” the problem.

Having Trouble With Mail Account

I'm having trouble with one of my computers and my imap gmail account. Imap on my desktop works perfectly but on my laptop it does not go online (when I click on the caution symbol that asks me if I want to go online, it ignores the request). My old Pop account works fine on this computer but for syncing purposes I really need to get Imap working. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked your Gmail account preferences via webmail access using a browser?

I updated my software on my hard drive, synched my iPad and now am having trouble with mail. Anyone else having this issue?

I keep getting the can't locate server message, when trying to update mail, but can update mail if I log onto the server from the Internet, on my iPad, or use my mail app on my desk top. The problem seems to be with the iPad mail app. I went through the settings and powered down. That only buys me one "check mail." anybody have any suggestions?

Still having trouble sending mail after Yosemite software update!!

It worked for a few days after I installed the update, but it's now having the same issue all over again with outgoing mail. Infuriating!

Hello champsanmarcos,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with outgoing in message in Mail for Yosemite. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Mail (Yosemite): If you can’t send messages
If the Send button is dimmed in the toolbar of your message, or your message can’t be sent using the outgoing mail server, try these suggestions.
Make sure the outgoing (SMTP) mail server is specified as directed by the provider of your email account. For more information, see Verify an account’s outgoing mail server.
If a dialog states that you need permission to send a message, your account uses parental controls. For more information, see Request permission to send messages.
Choose Window > Connection Doctor, then follow instructions displayed in the Details column.
If there’s a firewall problem, verify that firewall software isn’t blocking email traffic on port 25, 465, or 587. Also check whether you’re affected by another firewall, such as software installed separately from OS X or built into an Internet sharing router, or administered by your account provider. Contact the appropriate person for information.
You may be able to send messages from only a certain location, or your account provider may allow you to send messages but with stricter settings (such as requiring a name and password). Contact your provider, then change the outgoing mail server settings in Mail preferences as needed.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I am having trouble getting Mail to import my Hotmail. It was working well up to around xmas but since then it hasn't worked at all. Keeps asking for my mail password and when I put it in nothing happens or it pops up again asking for it.

I have been using mail for quite a while and no issue. Before xmas for some strange reason my computer asked me for my keychain password. I couldnt remember and hence lost control of my mail boxes. I deleted the keychain and then started putting in the passwords again. My icloud mail is working fine as is imessage and facetime. For some strange reason it wont work with my hotmail address. It keeps poping up asking for the password for the hotmail email and I keep putting it in but no mail arrives or goes. I have looked in the new keychain and it is in there. I have tried adding it in the mail settings and saved it but it dont save. I have deleted the mail account and started again by inputting it as new and it gets its settings then and same result. Any ideas?

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.
