Help ipad 2 only receives some emails

My dad is only receiving some of his emails on his ipad 2.   He has AT&T for email with a .att extension.  I set the email up using the other option since they did not list AT&T.   If he sends an email from the ipad and gets a reply it comes back to the ipad.    However, if he sends the email from his pc and the person replies he only gets the reply on the pc and not the ipad.     Also, i think he is missing other incoming emails on the ipad I will need to confirm that. If anyone can help, I sure would appreciated it.  He has been bugging me for two years to fix it.   Thx. 

Might be some help here.

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.

  • Why does my iPad only receive some of my waitrose e mails?

    Why does my iPad only receive some of my waitrose.com e mails?

    The camera kit will only see photos that follow a very strict naming convention. There has to be a folder named DCIM, and within that the file names of the photos have to be exactly 8 characters...DSC_3584 for example.
    It also will not see SDXC cards unless they have been reformatted.
    If those phones don't use the right naming convention the iPad kit simply won't see it.

  • Help!! (Yet again) I don't receive some email

    I have set up Email with my iPod, but I won't receive some email! I receive email like adobe advertisements, Apple support communities email notifications, EA games news, ect., but other I don't receive. I haven't checked my email on another device to see if it was even sent at all, though. Please help me!

    With a POP3 account you can change when the ma message is deleted from the server. Go to Settings>Mail>The Account>Advanced>Delete from server and you will find the options available.
    When a message is deleted from the server it can no longer be download by another device.
    You should have similar options on Mail program on other devices. If you use webmail and leave it in your inbox yo can access it from the iPod. If you move it from the inbox the iPod can't get it.

  • Not receiving some emails from specific sender.

    Hi.I just started getting the problem of not receiving some emails. I have not had this problem with the sender until yesterday.  My sender is sending me emails from gmail, some with attachments and some without, to my comcast email and it's not getting through. It is just one specific sender that I know of. I narrowed it down to my comcast account because I had the sender send myself the email to my comcast address and cc me on my gmail address. I received it on my gmail account but not my comcast account. I use Outlook for comcast but I even checked the webmail on comcast with nothing there. I checked the spam folder also and it's not there. Please help, these are important emails. Thank you.

    Same issue, as far as I know it is just 1 person.  But I have no way of knowing.  I also had them CC my Gmail and it went through to Gmail but not my comcast.  I then had them use a secondary comcast email and it didn't go through.  Comcast seems to be blocking this person for some unexplained reason.  It's frustrating and so far has cost me $525 because they thought I was ignoring them.  They are using my Gmail until I get it straightened out, so the financial loss shouldn't increase, I just hope others aren't having the same problem and I don't know about it.  

  • I don't receive some emails

    I'm using a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, and Mail 5.3.   I don't receive some emails. 
    One day last week my wife sent me two emails from work.  I received one, but the other one never showed up.  She sent it to me again the next day, and again it didn’t arrive. 
    I thought that perhaps there was something in her second email that was blocked for some reason by some kind of filter at her work, but this morning I happened to open Mail on my lightly-used iMac 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 (OS X 10.4 and Mail 2.1.3), and saw that both of her emails had arrived on the day she sent them.
    Back on my Macbook I looked through junk and trash folders and searched by my wife’s name and by her work email address - No sign of either email.  Anyone have any idea as to what’s happening?    Thanks,  Gene

    I’m happy to say that I’ve found my problem.  I was a bit daunted by the thought of rebuilding my pack-rat-like mailbox, so I put it off to see if any other emails disappeared. 
    Today, checking mail on my infrequently used iMac, I saw an email had arrived a week ago from my daughter (along with a reply from my wife who was also an addressee) that never showed up on my MacBook Pro. 
    Going through my MacBook’s mail preferences again, I took the time to review again my Rules and saw that I’d listed the word debt along with bankruptcy, manhood, and a few other words with the instruction that any message containing that word should be automatically deleted.  Both of the emails that “never showed up” on my Macbook included the word debt, and had been deleted without a trace by my own rule.  I’ve changed the rule now, at least for debt.
    Thanks to all who read my problem and gave it some thought.  The troubleshooting sites that Sheila M. steered me to and, believe it or not, the fact that out of 100 people who’d looked to see if they could help, there were no other ideas --these things helped me conclude that the problem might well of my own making and not some flaw that other folks run into. 
    I appreciate having this community to turn to.

    Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.

  • I am only getting some emails in Mail app

    I have two computers, my iMac and an XP running Outlook. Both have the same settings to retrieve email from my hosting service.
    I am only getting some email to my iMac/Mail app. That is, I can log onto my web server and see eMails marked as unread that won't download and others that do download.
    All messages come to my XP / Outlook box.
    I have been on with my hosting tech support and everything is fine from their side, so I assume it must be something with Mail.
    Please help, this is my first week in the Apple world after being a windows user for over 15 years.
    Thanks!

    Hello Paul.
    Be carefull when using multiple mail clients on a single POP account, that's not the way POP was designed.
    Consider using IMAP instead, or be carefull with the settings of each of your email client, especially concerning the deletion policy.
    Most email client can be configured to delete message from the server immediatly, after a period of time, or never.
    What could happen is Outlook does retrieve mail fine, then deletes them.
    When Mail comes to get the mail, it only gets the one arrived after the last Outlook retrieve, but Mail by default keeps message on the server for something like 7 days, that's why Outlook can then retrieve all messages the next time it checks your POP account, but because it deletes them all, Mail is missing some of them.
    Why reward points ?

  • TS1627 Please Help. I received 4 emails from 1 person with the same message heading. The emails were automatically grouped by Mail. I replied to the latest mail in the conversation. Once sent the other messages in the conversation disappeared. I NEED THEM

    Please Help. I received 4 emails from 1 person with the same message heading. The emails were automatically grouped Apple Mail. I replied to the latest mail in the conversation. Once sent the other messages in the conversation disappeared. I NEED THEM BACK! They all had very important attachments. I have tried looking for them in deleted items, even though I didn't throw any of them away, still cant find them. Never had this problem before. I'm pretty sure its a setting somewhere. Also tried expanding all conversations, no luck. Searching for the mails under the sent email address, no luck.
    I'm sure they are not deleted but have somehow been hidden by Mail. Very frustrating.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Kash.

    I have found found out what has happened. I had requested a statement dating back to April 2012 from a supplier. They replied back with the latest statementof 2013 only but used the same subject heading as the previous monthly statements. Apple Mail automatically grouped these and I thought that they were sent altogether. As soon as I replied to the last email all other the previous emails ungrouped from the conversation leaving me lost as to where they had gone. They were all still sitting in my inbox but no longer part of the trcked conversation. I searched under the subject heading and all individual mails were all still there. (feeling stupid - )

  • My phone isn't sending texts and only receiving some and I can't ise any Apps or Safari on cellular data.

    My Iphone 4S isn't sending texts and only receiving some incoming text messages.  My cellular data is turned on but it still won't let me use safari or any other App unless i'm connected to the WIFI at home. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I think I can help with the Cell usage issue.
    You may in fact have cell data turned on, but it may be turned off for specific apps.
    Please go to Settings...Cellular.
    First, ensure that Cellular Data is turned on.
    Next, scroll down the page and you should see a list of all your apps.
    Make sure Cell data is turned on for the apps in question.

  • On my ipad, I receive every email 11 times.

    On my ipad, I receive every email 11 times

    Check your email address that you use for your Apple ID under settings: mail, contacts, calendar and choose iclould to check the "account email ". If you have that email address setup under email accounts, you need to select your icloud email and turn the "email"  button to off. Another place to check is if you have say 12345@gmail setup as under mail accounts and you also have the same email setup under " exchange ", you need to go into the settings on either one and turn one of the two email button to off.
    I am 100% certain that you have one of the two scenarios above causing your problem.
    Thanks,
