Hi, I'm getting no incoming mail

Hi, I'm getting no incoming mail and this message "your IMAP server appears to be temporarily out of service". Is this something I can fix or when they say 'your' do they mean mac's?

First check to see if your mailbox is online. If it is try synchronizing it.

    I sent a friend some photos, since then  the email keeps appearing in recovered from my mac. Everytime I delete it it comes back. also I cannot get any incoming mail, the circle keeps on spinning, I can get mail on my ipad, Has anyone got a solution please.
    thanks

    Yes,ranchers, I did try that a bunch of times- thanks for trying.
    I'm gonna list all the things I did (that I can can think of):
    Tried to force close the app.
    Turned on/off wiFi
    Tried letting it just run on the screen it's stuck at for like 15 minutes
    Ugh...my brain is turning off-I think it's frozen like my Sims!    Cornball I know.
    But I've tried everything I could think of which is a bunch more things than what I was able to list. And I'll do my best to answer any questions cause I know from looking all over on different forums that I'm not the only one this is happening to. It happened to a bunch of people who I think are still waiting for theirs to get fixed.
    Can the cloud save me if I upload today?

    What does this have to do with the original post?  Start a new thread so yours doesn't get lost buried in an unrelated one.

  • Getting my incoming mail.

    Hello, All of a sudden, I no longer can get my email on by iMac.  Comes in fine to my iPhone. Something is wrong with my settings, and I don't know what to change to fix it. This whole icloud business has me confused. Is it icloud.com, me.com, mac.com just which do I use when settting it up. Have gone so far as to delete my Mail account all together and set it up newly, but thats ever worse. Is is POP, IMAP??? Help

    I understand .mac/.me mail will still come through.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
        •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 993
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
        •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 587
        •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • Why do I get Invalid Incoming Mail Server when changing mail preferences?

    I unclicked the "show notes in inbox" option and when I tried to save the changes I received a pop up box with the following message: Invalid Incoming Mail Server - The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty.
    I don't know what this means...

    Hmmm, is this an iCloud account or other account?

  • Since upgrading to Maverick I have trouble getting incoming mail?

    Ever since I upgraded to Maverick my mail has not worked consistently.  It has been 2 days since I've been able to get any incoming Mail.   It seems to deliver when it wants and it's on strike now.   Thank goodness my iphone email works.   I've been to the genius bar w/o resolution (they thought it was due to gmail account which we deleted and not eliminate the problem).  I can send but can't receive.  It is a POP email acount.  I've read other posts - shutting down the computer does not help.  Any suggestions?  I am fully updated.  I have a iMac intel, OS X 10.9.3.  Mail 7.3.  Thanks!!

    Hi,
    Thank you for taking an interest in my problem.
    What actually transpired was my Macpro (contacts) would not update after I put changes in to contacts in either iphone or ipad. Apple checked and discovered that changes made in either macPro (contacts) and contacts(cloud.com) did not talk to each other so concentrated on this.
    The rep had me signout of my macpro user account, and create a temp new user to which I signed into my icloud account as normal. Then, changes in either macpro or cloud.com now worked. He then did some changes at his end and after exiting the temp user and resigning in as origal macpro user this now made changes to each other. OK. We then deleted the temp user and this worked! but since then I have discovered that iphone and ipad now do not change icloud.com contacts or calendar so would not of course change contacts on macpro!
    Other services on icloud (photo stream, mail, docs and data, find my ----, etc) all function with my iphone (so have to presume my ipad also, but this is not with me at this time)  so the problem is confined to just contacts and calendar.
    In summary, I do have only one icloud address but which appears to have two sets of data as the devices will communicate with something but not altogether!!
    I am thoroughly confused, especially as it was all fine until I upgraded from M\Lion to Mavericks on my shiny new macpro a few weeks ago. I  had moved from Windows to Apple to avoid just such problems.
    Not enamoured with Apple at the moment, but thank you for your assistance - hope this is a better explanation.
    Kind Regards

  • HT4864 my incoming mail server is gray and won't let me enter anything? what do i do..i can't get my mail?

    my incoming mail server is gray in its space and won't let me enter anything? i can't get my incoming mail on my mac computer?  what do i do so I can reenter the incoming mail server information?  the rest of my preference screen is black and can be changed?

    I did have the same problem this morning, but after several attempts o deleting and creating a new account, it started working again.
    I think they were doing some changes in iCloud and that created several problems last night and today.

  • HT4864 incoming mail server is grayed-out

    How do I get my "incoming mail server' un-grayed?  It won't let me put information on that line.
    Thank you.

    The p10 number is one of those added by the system and appears to represent different geographical areas - it's quite normal.
    If you are having problems with the setup you should sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and sign back in again, emabling Mail in the checklist. This should set it up correctly. It's not designed to let you do this manually in the Mail application.

  • Cannot set up an Incoming Mail Server

    I am trying to set up Aliases but when I get to the Incoming Mail Server field in Mail Preferences it is greyed out with "mail.example.com" and if I alter any other field and then try to save that account I get a message "Incoming Mail Server field cannot be empty".  How can I get the Incoming Mail Server field to highlight so I can insert something and what do I put in?

    Yes that is what I was doing.  I am confused because initially I thought I had completed the process in Safari iCloiud but the the Aliase email address didn't show uo when I composed message and wanted to send it from that address and not the default.  I added the Aliase in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Add new account and sent an email but looking at the inbox in Mail there is a "lightening" symbol and clicking on that and entering the password comes up with the message "Mail cannot conect to the account (aliase address)".  When I wnt back to Preferences that is when I realised that the form wasn't completed.  Since I started this thread I have received a reply to my earlier email using the Aliase address and sent a reply to that but the lightening symol still remains.  Any ideas?

  • Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now I get a messege saying the user name or password for verizon is incorrect on my iPad but is fine on my home computer what's wrong with my ipad

    Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now getting messege that says the user name or password for verizon is incorrect yet my home computer is fine only have this od my iPad

    I experienced same problem tonight and called Verizon technical support and they walked me through the settings on iPad. Took about 5 minutes. Basically it involved changing incoming.verizon.net to pop.verizon.net and changing outgoing.verizon.net to smtp.verizon.net. But it's worth the call to ensure other settings are OK. Evidently, change at Verizon was effective today!

  • Getting "Error in sieve filter" message with each incoming mail and cannot recieve or send mail to or from iCloud account apart from Apple emails!! Please help!

    Since approx 7am GMT I've been getting "Error in sieve filter" message with each incoming mail, worse though, since about 12 noon I cannot recieve or send mail to or from my iCloud account apart from I've been getting  emails from Apple (ie I've just received a welcome one from Apple Support Communities...)!! I've had this account for years, never had a problem - it can't be the OSX Mail server because the problem is the same when I log directly into iCloud. I've tried sending emails from my Hotmail account to my iCloud account (a .mac) and just get undeliverable messages back. I'm really in the s**t now at work. : (  I just set up a Smart TV yesterday with a wireless dongle - that's the only thing I've done out of the ordinary. I've spoken to Sky who are my ISP and they say all's fine with them (although the router kept kicking my off the internet this morning which was strange...). Router seems fine now though.  I'm really hoping someone here can help!!
    Many thanks!!

    Do you think once Apple sort this out I'll get my missing emails back?

    Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple.  No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities.  If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.

  • How do I get my incoming emails in Mail on my Imac to automatically go to Icloud?  My sent emails go there automatically but not my incoming emails.

    How do I get my incoming emails in Mail on my Imac to automatically go to Icloud?  My sent emails go there automatically but not my incoming emails.  I'm using OS X 10.8.5.

    No, I'm not using the icloud email address.  I am using my email address [email protected]  Let me try to explain what I'm trying to do.  I'd like the emails that I send from and that are sent to my pacbell.net email address to also show up on icloud so if something happens to my imac which is the primary computer my emails are preserved on Icloud and I can access them there.
    Is that possible?
    Note:  I have been able to move my pacbell.net emails to the icloud account manually.
