HOW DO I DOWNLOAD MAIL FROM THE SERVER

In the past, Thunderbird had a simple command , "Get Mail" That has disappeared as far as I can tell. Need to get my messages off the server as some just disappear if I leave them there too long and I never can tell what "too long" is.
Thanks
Vic Tennery

Get Mail has not been removed, but yours may be hidden.

IMHO, unless you have a formal service level agreement with your email provider, you should view all email stored on their server as transient and not guaranteed to be there tomorrow.

Cannot download mail from the server after a particular date

Hi, I just set up my pop3 account on the Iphone. That was easy
I started downloading the mails. It download all the mails till Wednesday morning and then just stopped. Since then I've tried to re-install the email account, download the mails again, reboot the handset but nothing seems to work. Each time it only downloads the mails till Wednesday morning and stops there.
My Gmail account on the other hand works fine and is up to date with the email notifications.
Any advise on how to go about this?

Most POP3 clients delete messages from the server on download. Are you positive you don't have another mail client set up somewhere (on your home or work computer) that may have already pulled them down and deleted them from the server?

Can't download mail from the server icloud account

My icloud mail account will not download messages. I'm unable to access my inbox.
The message displayed when I push to download is can not connect to server.

Does your ISP offer a separate account for additional email addresses or are additional email addresses what is called an "alias" account or address to the primary account?
A separate account for an additional email address with the same provider has its own user name.
An "alias" account or email address to a primary account shares the same user name and password as the primary account.
You can created separate accounts in Mail with the same provider which has the same incoming mail server and you can use the same password for both accounts as long as each account has its own user name which is usually the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign and with some providers it is the entire email address.
I have set up the 2 email accounts within Mail, but when
trying to edit and save the "Advanced" preferences for my
2nd email account, I get an error message saying something
to the effect: " [email protected] is already being
used by another account".
This error message indicates the additional email account you created in Mail shares the same user name and password as the primary/existing account which you cannot create as a separate account in Mail.
If so, there is a way to access an alias account or address to a primary account without creating it as a separate account.
If so, do not delete the additional account created yet.

How to fetch forgotten mails from the server

Possibly due to aborted fetch cycles some mails are left on my GMX-POP account and will not be fetched when I poll my mails next time. This happens only since some weeks but since there three times. Possibly something changed either in the Apple Mail program or how the server behaves? Is there a way to fetch this lost mails?
Obviously mails saves the time of the last poll. How can I reset this time to a date older the last unfetched mail to refetch all mails inclusive the lost ones? For sure then I will have duplicated mails. Is there a way to easily remove this duplicates without deleting it individually?
Many thanks for your help,
Werner

Ernie,
thanks for your suggestions. It seems my problem can't be solved in a smart way. To your question: My server space is limited ( 1 GB ), I use currently about 2/3 of it.
I have access to the mails via the web interface and therefore I could forward the mails to my account but I would like to have all mails local on my Mac with the original time stamps and format. But that's not the case for forwarded mails. In addition for sure the problem is not solved, if I cure the current symptoms and I have no idea if it's caused by an update of my Mac or by the server.

HT4859 After the i-cloud server issue Nov 26, 2012, I had to change some mail account settings to get my i-cloud mail to work again. However, all of my received e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve my e-mails from the server?

After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail. I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails. However, all of my historical e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

I can't find a preference to keep mail on the server as it's deleted on individual devices. We have 4 Mac devices and a PC running W8 with the iCloud control panel. How can we keepthe mail on the server as it is deleted from the individual devices?

How do I keep mail on the server as it is deleted on individaul devices? We have 4 Apple devices and a W8 laptop. We sort and read mail on all of them, but have found that deleting mail on one deletes it on all of them.

Yahoo and Gmail both support POP if you wish.
All modern email systems are Imap (because it supports multiple and mobile devices)
I do not recommend POP under any circumstances, it can not be synchronized so unless you do not use Mobile devices at all (iPhones etc) it is useless.
Yahoo users (search this site) have endless problems and Gmail is highly non-standard. Expect a learning curve for that one.
Are you short of server space, why do you need to do this rather retrograde step?

I can't access my mail from the server!!!

I am having trouble retrieving mail....I click on "Get Mail" and nothing happens. When I select the inbox and Get Info, it shows that there are a number of new emails on the server, yet my Mail program does not want to retrieve them. I checked to see if my account was enabled (under Preferences) and it is....I don't understand what the problem is...this is happening in a networked office of 10 other macs, and only one other person is having this exact same problem. very weird. internet works fine.
any suggestions? I'm about to download a new mail program like entourage if this keeps up.
thanks,

POP account.
We own Entourage already, so that isn't a problem.
Right now we're using www.mail2web.com as a temporary solution, but that isn't really practical for a professional architecture firm where email records are essential to our business.
I would love to keep using Mail, I really have no idea how to fix this problem. I don't know why it is only happening to 2 of our 10 computers, there is no difference in the setup of any of them, and this started mid-morning, so I know that the users did nothing to the settings. It just stopped wanting to pick up mail from the server.
File size does not seem to matter, because one of the computer's mailboxes has about 10,000 emails saved, and the other has about 20, and they are showing the exact same behaviour. It is really strange!

Only if it's a POP3 server. IMAP and Exchange synchronize the server and all clients.

How do you download information from the cloud? I just purchased a new phone?

What information are you referring to? You may mean restoring an iCloud backup from a previous device. Or you may mean adding iCloud calendars, contacts, etc. to your iPhone.
In the former case (restoring a backup), the setup assistant should walk you through that process.
In the latter case (adding contacts, etc.), simply set up your iPhone as an iCloud device in Settings > iCloud.
