Hotmail messages not showing up in Mac Mail

I have setup Hotmail as an IMAP account - it took several days for all the messages in my very large mailbox to come across. Now that they seem to be there, Mac Mail will not display them -- I click on the inbox and nothing shows up. I also have a Gmail account setup and those messages display properly. If I do a find for a message I know has arrived in hotmail, it shows the results of the find. Anyone have suggestions on how I can get my messages to display properly?
Thank you

I had the same problem today and have a solution.
I deleted the iCloud account from Mail, quit Mail, reopened Mail and then set up the account again. (I noticed that it did update the grayed out [uneditable] incoming mail server.) The messages that had been available on iOS 5 appeared in Mail and all is working fine now. It took about a minute to fix and I hope this works for you.

ICloud email messages not showing up in Mac mail

I just noticed that my Mail client on mac osx lion isn't receiving emails on my @me.com account from the iCloud.
The emails are showing up fine on my iphone, but they are not appearing in Mail on my Mac.
This seems to be a new issue as I didn't notice it yesterday after moving on Wed to iCloud.
Any ideas?

SUDDENLY - IMAGES NOT SHOWING UP IN MAC MAIL

Suddenly, just in the last few days, my Mac Mail isn't showing any images in the messages themselves in any of my accounts. What setting could be the cause? I have checked, "Display remote images in HTML messages", but that doesn't seem to help. Where there should be images are instead "?" marks.
I've checked Little Snitch for any connections that were being blocked as well as my Mail preferences and nothing is solving the issue. It's happening on both of my PPC computers running 10.5.8.
Mail version 3.6 (936)
Thanks a million for any help or advice.

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.

Mail not showing up in Mac mail, once downloaded to iphone

Hi,
Thanks as always…
I have 5 diff email accounts set up on my phone and mac. 2 of the accounts (the most important two) are playing up.
If I check email first on my iphone they don't show up later in Mac Mail. Surely if I don't delete them on the phone they should still show up?
Isn't that what Sync is all about?
PS: Don't use Mobile Me etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks…

You're welcome.
So what is itunes doing when it syncs my mail? Just the settings? Is it even worth keeping the sync box checked in itunes then?
Account settings only, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. After account settings are successfully transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, there is no reason to keep this option selected for your iPhone sync preferences - unless you make a change to account settings on your computer that you want automatically transferred to your iPhone.
I suggest checking your account settings on your iPhone and use Never for removing messages from the server when downloaded for the account settings for each account. You can removed messages from the server in other ways. If you use the Mail.app on your Mac for accessing the accounts, you can removed messages from the server as needed with the Mail.app, or via webmail access for each account.

Mail not showing up in Mac mail and iphone (Sky email UK)

Hi,
This relates to a post from yesterday which I thought was solved, if only… !
If I check my mail on iphone it doesn't show up later in Mac mail. I have 5 accounts set up. 3 work fine, 2 don't. My Sky email account and a domain account that is set up for forwarding via Sky.
It seems to be a problem with Sky. This other forum suggests putting "recent" into the Mac Mail user name, doesn't help. It also mentions setting up a IMAP Sky account. I have never used IMAP, always POP. If I set up IMAP on phone can I still get POP mail on my Mac?
http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/sky-email-portal-log/17836-iphone.html#post158522
This other forum suggests unlocking the email account, never heard of that. Sounds dodgy?
http://customerforum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1285&highlight=sky
Thanks in advance, I've spent hours going through all this!
Cheers!

I had to make an IMAP account instead of POP. Now SEEMS to work…

Solution to incoming mail not showing up in Mac Mail

I had a strange thing happen two days ago and did exhaustive research trying to resolve the issue. I couldn't find the answer anywhere to my issue. I did figure out what was going on, so I thought I'd post the solution here.
I'm running OS X v10.8.5 and Mac Mail v6.6. Two days ago I stopped being able to get any new emails. All my settings were correct and had not changed. I could see my new emails in my webmail, but it was not downloading to Mac Mail. I could see the count of new emails in Mail Activity and could see all the email on my POP server in Account Info. But nothing was downloading. The solution ended up being on my mail host's end. I had them reset my mail account and voila! It took less than 3 minutes. An easy solution to a very disturbing and troubling problem. I hope this helps someone else out there.

Thanks for the tip!

TS4002 iCloud emails message body showing blank in Mac mail.

The content of emails (message body) is sometimes blank in Mac mail but visible on both my iPhone and iCloud. I can't seem to find a fix?

Strange that this is such an old thread - seems like the problem has popped up again here.

When I send a message using hotmail.co.uk, it does not appear in my Mac Mail sent box. How do I rectify this?

I am using Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my MacBook (mid-2009); Mail version 6.1 (1498).
My incoming mail server is pop3.live.com (Hotmail).
When I send an email on the Hotmail website, it does not register in my Mac Mail sent box.
How do I rectify this?
Many thanks for your help in advance.

You have to send it from the Mail program on the Mac not the website. When you send it from the website it is in the sent folder on the website.
I handle all my mail in the Mac Mail program never the website.

Messages not showing on mac

I have my messages/imessage enabled to sync between all 3 of my devices. All of a sudden messages from one person are not showing on my mac. They still sync between my phone and ipad, but not the mac. They had been there up until the middle of last month. Other messages between other people are still showing and syncing between all 3 devices. I know we are all using iphones and ipads, so why would they stop syncing in one spot with only one person? Can any one help?

HI,
The .bag one holds the Server info that the app should be contacting for the iMessages account.
The .imservice ones holds the details that you entered such as the Apple ID and the "registered" aliases such as the iPhone Number and any other linked email addresses.
Although I have not deleted my iMessages account and cleared the .plist to try and find out at which point in the "registration" process they are created I would have though the Server one would have been created first so that the details you enter are sent to the server.
However it is possible that the account details are "stored" first and then the server is contacted.
There have been other threads (well, one that I recall) about this losing of "Names" and showing only iPhone numbers but it has not been resolved yet (or at least the person has not come back to say one way or the other)
In iChat when there have been issues with details that should be in the Address Book it has been found that the My Card (Head and Shoulder icon) has not been the card for the Mac User account (Not your details).
This has stopped the AIM side in particular from Logging in (the AIM one tends to be loaded first so any issue shows this) as the missing details are needed to fill in the header bar of any Buddy list (where it shows your name or "handle").
In this case I am not expecting the issue to be tied to the Contacts app but it would be worth ruling it out.
The next palce to check is the View Menu > Buddy Names when the main Messages Window is "Front" (the interface and chat window).
This menu item offers ways to display the Names of your Buddies (normally) from AIM and Jabber lists as it is a setting that have been present for a long time in iChat.
The "Handle" option would normally be the AIM Screen Name or Jabber ID but it also effects the iMessages connections and displays the Apple IDs and numbers.
It is used in conjunction with the View Menu > Messages > Show Pictures and Names
However from your phraseology in your first post I believe you are seeing phone numbers only when you start a New Message and use the Blue icon to see the Contacts List ?
The Show Handles option does not effect the Contacts Drop down only the Buddies one.
DO you have problems with Mail in auto-completing Address when Sending ?
Or do you have problems when displaying Names from people you have in the Contacts list ?
For example my Mail shows one of my email associated with an Address Card for one of my other computers (it helps with Bonjour in iChat and Messages)
I am suggesting that the Mail app might also be displaying numbers only.

TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

Some emails not deleting or not showing up in my Mail window.

My Mail program is having many problems--Some emails will be deleted but show up again when I reopen my Mail window, I cannot see emails in my draft folder, and there are times when emails sent to me are not showing up in my Mail window. I've redownloaded the mail program using my Tiger disk three times, but it never solves the problem. I'm about to reload my whole Tiger software, but I'm afraid I'll lose my 10.4.7 updates.

OK. In order to fix the problem, we need to re-create the index. Problem is, Mail may or may not choke on those messages while re-creating the index, so either be prepared for it or perform the optional steps 1 and 3:
1. (Optional, but recommended). Try to find in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/ the *.emlx files associated with the troublesome messages. Viewing the *.emlx files as List in the Finder showing the creation/modification date may help. Just identify them; do not get rid of them yet (you must quit Mail first).
2. Quit Mail.
3. (Optional, but recommended). If you found the troublesome *.emlx files in step 1, move them to the Trash.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
5. Locate the Envelope Index file and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
6. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate Deleted Messages.mbox, and move it to the Trash. I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
7. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate the *.mbox folder that corresponds to the mailbox you created to try to isolate the troublesome messages, and move it to the Trash. Again, I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
8. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC
i had the Ex HD for about 3 years running smoothly on my mac but recently everything disappeared. plunged it into a pc to see if it read my files and it did. what can i do? to make it work on mac again. i don't want to reformat that drive because i have important applications (DMG) and other zip photo video files in the drive.

yes. i did.
...i have tried "verify" & "repair" but they didn't pass the san test. and when i "unmounted/mount" a error message popped up say that there is a application running off the drive but there nothing (i see) running, to close all activity

When I send an email with bcc recipients, the bcc does not show in my sent mail so I can't reference back later who I sent the email to. Worked in Snow Leopard but not in Yosemite. Please advise if their is fix for that.

Did you select View->Bcc Address Field from the menu bar?

PS CC 2014 not showing up in Mac Finder after update

Just did the update/install of PS CC 2014, and while I can see the application in my applications folder if I do a spotlight search, it does not show up in Mac Finder when I go to my applications folder. Actually this is the case for several CC 2014 apps after the update. For example, Muse CC 2014 and InDesign CC 2014 show up in my applications folder, but not Illustrator CC 2014 or PS CC 2014. Anybody else experience this and/or have a resolution? I did a restart after the cc 2014 app updates to see if that would fix anything, but it didn't.
It's annoying to have to do a spotlight search to reinstall all my plug-ins and to just launch the app.

Craig, thanks for the reply, but it's not a matter of updating the dock icons after the update. I realize I need to drag the new CC 2014 apps to the dock if I want to access them there. It's more of an issue where all the CC 2014 app updates except Muse and InDesign weren't showing up in my HD > Applications folder where every other app on my machine resides. Instead, most of the CC 2014 updates got installed to my User > Applications folder for some bizarre reason. Those updates are the ONLY apps in that folder.
Anyone know why they would get installed there instead of the normal HD > Applications folder?

The graphic HTML signature panel does not appear in my Mac mail

The graphic HTML signature panel does not appear in my Mac mail. I have inserted the signature after reading on the forum. But the images do not download - the rest of the text in the signature is in place - just the logo and the baseline which is a graphic file does not download. Please help.

Hi, are the pics at a remote location, or on your Mac?
Have you tried drag & dropping the graphics on the signature window?
