I can send but cannot receive images via text

how can i receive images via text?

Hello cschock,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Are you referring to not being able to receive images sent to you over iMessage? If not, receiving MMS requires a cellular connection, and does not function over just Wi-Fi. Please follow the instructions in the article below to resolve the issue.

Same here. I can send mails from iCloud.com Webmail, but cannot receive.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of
its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address
failed:
"[email protected]":
SMTP error from remote server after RCPT command:

I can send, but cannot receive E-Mail, suddenly.

I am a new convert to the entire world of Apple, aside from a longtime Safari proponent and user. A month and a half ago, I purchased a MacBook Pro 15" (you all know the specs, I went with 512 g flash drive upgrade) and am extremely happy with it. I have Windows 7 x64 installed on a 200g partition, solely so I can continue to use a few SONY apps that I need for video and audio editing for my business. These apps are NOT available for Apple machines and are essential to my photo restoration and video transfer and editing business. Ok, that's the environment.
Yesterday, as I normally do, I woke up, coffee, check on all of my animals, Mac starts with scheduled start-up at 7:20am as per usual while I am busy with my 'wake up' duties. After the wife was off to work and I was ready to check E-Mails and check for any correspondence from clients, I open 'mail,' (I have it set to start at scheduled start-up) and notice there is no E-Mail in my two pop accounts. I have a Gmail account and the iCloud account. 'This is odd.' I invoke 'receive' a couple times. Nothing. I turn on my phone (Blackberry) and it starts making noise as it normally does when E-Mail comes in. This is weird. I reboot my lovely Mac. No joy. No E-Mail. So I start troubleshooting. I figure out that I can send from all four accounts but cannot receive on any of them.
I reboot to the Windows partition. I open Live Mail. It fills up on my two pop accounts. Even more weirder. I have the Gmail account on this partition also, but it rarely receives E-Mail so it can wait. No iCloud on the Windows side. We all understand that.
On the Apple side, I removed all accounts from mail and re-established them with no resulting solution being apparent.
I have made no changes at my account on the server (webhero.com) so I am baffled. I looked for solutions here, but have found nothing, which is why this is being written.
Because I have seen no solutions, I consider that something unique has occurred to my computer that is not a new issue with many other Mac users.
My system is updated to all recent standards so there isn't much more to post
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks for looking,
Kelly J.

Personally I will never leave Windows behind. Mac just doesn't cut it for me. For one it is to much of a closed system and the door is closing even more as I type this. MS isn't that much better with the release of Win 8 (which I will not be using at all except for Tech supporting others).
Apple does not like to give the user options and if they do you have to know the command line to implement them, in some cases. In others there simply is no user choice, like sounds for events.
With the advent of the newer Mac's with Non upgradeability, IE the retina models and the newest iMacs, this is certainly not the systems for me.
The OS? Well IMHO OS X isn't any better then Windows and in most case I like Windows better. IMHO Windows is an easier system to use. Not sure about Win 8.
Been running Windows for 20+ years and I can count on one hand the number of BSODs I've had. But then I run Clean system and the desktops I built myself. Notebooks are mostly Dell Business line models and my one MBP.
BSODs happen from bad hardware or drivers for that hardware. OS X is slightly better but Apple is not immune from writing or using bad drivers and the hardware is no better built then most any Windows PC. It just comes in a different case.
Apple Lived on the "It Just works" saying for a long time. That is not the case today, as you may see from all the posts in all the Apple hardware forums.
I'm Fixento get back to work, Y'all. Ga day.

MS Outlook 2011 - can send but cannot receive

I converted from a PC to a Mac tonight. I used MS Outlook as my mail client. Conversion went very smootly and files all moved. Set up account as per ISP instructions (Time Warner Cable). I can send email but cannot receive. Since the emails are on the server TWC says it is not their problem. Has anybody else had this? Any ideas?

Have you contacted Microsoft since it's their software?

Can Send but CANNOT Receive mail

Ok, so I tried fixing this by myself but that obviously hasn't worked. I recently updated to Leopard, had a problem sending mail which I fixed, everything was running smoothly, and now all of a sudden I just don't receive mail anymore. It's been about a week, I just don't get the mail, the account won't synchronise with the server, etc., There are no error messages and it's as if everything worked fine except that I don't receive my mail.
THanks
PS: the incoming mail server is correct.

Hello M:
Check the help menu when mail is open to be sure you followed all of those suggestions.
Here are some troubleshooting tips I got from the knowledge base:
+Top 10 troubleshooting tips+
+1) Use the Connection Doctor+
+If you're using Mac OS X 10.4 or later, have the Connection Doctor make a house call. In Mail, choose Connection Doctor from the Window menu to have it check your server connections. If it finds any trouble, it'll display a red Status indicator next to the problematic account and provide some information and advice in the Details column. If you see a red indicator, follow the doctor's advice to try and fix the issue.+
+2) Make Sure That You're Connected to the Internet+
+To send and receive email, your Mac must be connected to the Internet. To verify whether your connection is working, open your web browser and visit any website. If your Internet connection doesn't appear to be working, see our Internet Quick Assist to get your connection back up and running.+
+3) Ask for Permission if You're Being Denied+
+If a sheet appears that says you need permission when you try to send email, your computer's administrator has restricted email access for your account. To request permission from your administrator to send the message, click Ask Permission in the dialog.+
+4) Make Sure That You're Not Being Blocked by a Firewall+
+If you or a network administrator has a firewall blocking email traffic on port 25, 465, or 587, you may not be able to send email. If you've installed firewall software separately from Mac OS X, try temporarily disabling it to see if you can send email. There may also be firewall software built into a shared Internet router or administered by your ISP or network administrator; contact the appropriate person to find out if a firewall exists.+
+5) Check Your Email Settings+
+Open Mail preferences (from the Mail menu, choose Preferences), click Accounts, and verify the settings for your account in question. If you can't send email, make sure that you're using your ISP's SMTP server, or “smtp.mac.com” if you have a .Mac account, for the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) setting. If you can't receive email, make sure that you're using your ISP's incoming mail server, or “mail.mac.com” if you have a .Mac account, for the Incoming Mail Server setting. Check with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator if you're unsure about what settings to use—especially if you've changed some Advanced options in Mail preferences, such as SSL or authentication to access an account remotely.+
+6) Send Yourself an Email+
+If you can send email from your account but you're not sure whether or not you're able to get any, send yourself an email. Your message will go out through your outgoing mail server and back in through your incoming mail server. After sending yourself a test email, wait a minute or so for the servers to send the data, then click Get Mail in Mail (wait a little longer if you still haven't gotten it yet). If you don't get your own email after waiting about 15 minutes, try these other tips.+
+7) Find Out if Your Mail Servers Can Be Reached+
+Open Network Utility (/Applications/Utilities) and click the Ping tab. Ping is a utility that lets you test whether a server is running or not and if it can be reached from your computer. If you can't send email, type the outgoing server address in the top field (it'll look something like smtp.company.com). If you're not able to receive email, type the incoming server address in the top field (it'll look something like mail.company.com). Then click the Ping button. If you see 10 repeating lines, your computer can successfully reach the server. If you see a message that says something like “unknown host,” the server is either down or unreachable. Wait a while and then try sending or getting email again. (Please note that this test does not work with .Mac accounts.)+
+8) Check If Your Account is Using the Email Servers+
+To check if all servers are in use by your accounts, open Mail preferences, click Accounts, then click Account Information. From the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu, choose Edit Server List to display a list of servers. If you see an entry in the “In Use By Account” column for a server, that server is in use. If you have any servers listed that don't have an entry in this column, select the server, click Remove Server, and then click Done. If you see that your affected account isn't “In Use,” go back to step 5 to reset your server settings.+
+9) Make Sure That Your Account Isn't Offline+
+If Mail can't connect to and access your account's incoming server when it checks for messages, it will take your account “offline.” Take a look at your Inbox icon. If it appears dimmed or you see an exclamation point or tilde-looking icon (~) next to it or one of your account names (if you have more than one account), try taking it back online. Click the icon to the right of the affected account's name or select the account and choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take “account name” Online.+
+10) Reset Your Email Account+
+Try deleting your email account from Mail and then setting the account back up again. Before you do this, save all messages that you want to keep in a different mailbox on your Mac (to create a new Mailbox, choose New Mailbox from the Mailbox menu, choose On My Mac from the Location pop-up menu, type a name for your mailbox, click OK, and then drag the messages that you want to keep to this new mailbox). To delete the account, choose Preferences from the Mail menu, then click Accounts. Make note of the information for the account you want to reset, then select the account in the Accounts list and click the remove button. To recreate your account, click the add button and reenter the information for your account. You can then drag all of your messages from the alternate mailbox back into your newly recreated account.+

Exchange account - can send but cannot receive emails

I am unable to receive work e-mails but I can sent them. When I try to sync my inbox it states that unable to connect to server. However, this cannot be since i am able to send through the same server? Any ideas?

Send and receive server parameters aren't the same (ports used, protocols,...) therefore you may want to check your incoming mail parameters are properly set.

I've switched to galaxy note 3 and I cannot receive text messages from iphones. I can send but cannot receive. Apple wants to charge me to get help. Can anyone help?

Help

Ok, all of your posts with "solutions" to the problem are great but many are incorrect and pointlessly excessive. All you need to do is simply follow these steps and there will, usually, be no actual NEED to contact AppleCare tech support:
1. Turn off iMessages on your mobile device that you are getting rid of.
2. (For some situations) Step 1, normally, will deactivate your number from the messaging database that Apple keeps. But, you have to actually TURN OFF iMessages. Otherwise, if you no longer have the iPhone or other Apple mobile device THEN call AppleCare tech support and let them know that you simply need them to De-Register the phone number associated with your Facetime and iMessages accounts.
***There is no need to reference the article TS5185 as they will simply do what you ask them to do so long as your word it right and don't make them have to probe and fish for more details. I repeat...."De-Register your phone number associated with your Facetime and iMessages"
3. Have your friends and family members that are using iPhones delete any and ALL previous conversation threads that they have from texting/messaging you saved on their iPhones.
***This is important because Messages remember where they originated and will always attempt to go back there even if you are trying to get texts to show on a new Apple device, like an iPad.
4. If you are attempting to get Messages on two Apple mobile device then follow steps 1-3 and then verify that all of your mobile devices have the EXACT same Send & Recieve settings. Once that has been established you can then initiate a conversation on either mobile device and you will be able to see the conversation take place on both devices.

TS1307 Can send mail, cannot receive mail MacBook OS 10.6.6

Can send, but cannot receive in Mail for the past 24 hours. Checked incoming mail server for POP, fine. Quit mail, restarted , still not rking. What is wrong?

error message (not really helpful) says:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “[email protected]” or try again.
The server returned the error: The attempt to send data to the server “(null)” failed.
Connection dr says I am connected to internet, but that POP account failed, verify username and password, neither of which has been changed.
Thanks for the reply

I can send but not receive email

Hello All. I know this is a highly posted topic but I cannot find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Basic Problem- I can send but not receive email.
My ISP is. Yahoo SBC Global
I have a 3rd party email provider: 1and1.com
I have set my preferences according to the specifications of 1and1.com
The error I get is this: The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server "pop.1and.com" failed.
I have a Macbook Pro, running 10.4.9. My account with the 3rd party email provider is new and only has 1 or two emails in the account. I know this because I can log on via the internet and use their website to check the emails in the inbox. So the "email" address is working. I just can't get it to forward to my laptop.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with port 110 being blocked by my ISP. But I really don't think they are blocking that port. Due to the fact that my previous computer was a dell, and I used a similar 3rd party provider to email, the account used port 110 and things worked fine.
Thanks to all.

Ok. I've got it working.
All I did was delete my account information from the preferences. Before, I was editing it.
I entered a completely new POP account and it started working. I have a hard time believing that I entered information incorrectly prior to this because I checked it, rechecked it had a friend check it and it all looked OK. I was copy and pasting information anyway.
However, once I deleted and re- entered a brand new account, it worked fine.
Ernie, thanks for replying to my emails! I appreciate it.

E71 Imap, can send but not receive

HI all
I received my E71 about a week ago and having major problems configuring it with my work email.
Its an IMAP mail. I can send fine but on most occasions cannot receive. Occasionally it downloads some mails but only twice in the last week. I think this shows the settings are correct.
Have tried to sign up with Nokia mail but get the following error message:
'Unable to connect with the information provided. Please try again.'
My colleagues in the UK use Blackberrys fine and have spoken with IT and they cannot think of any reason why this is happening. I have deleted the mailbox and set it up again many times but still can send but not receive...
Very grateful for any advice as really happy with the phone other than this which is the main reason why I bought it.
Shane

Hi Anne,
Is this IMAP or POP account?
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 these 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.

Using osx 10.7.5 can send but not receive emails. Mail server support rep tried everything

Using iMac with OSX 10.7.5. Can send but not receive emails. No problem with internet account. Server rep tried everything and suggested perhaps a corrupted file in the op syst. Any ideas?

You may have a corrupt preference. Mail - Preferences - Accounts - click the offending account and re-enter all prefereneces. Also you can use Apple's OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages located at:

I have an iphone6. And out of the blue my group messages aren't working. I can send but not receiving any back.

I have an iphone6. And out of the blue my group messages aren't working. I can send but not receiving any back. Any ideas??? I already reset my phone twice.

You should check that your settings (both directions) match this:
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
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? If you migrated from MobileMe using this your mail settings won't be correct and you will need to follow this procedure to re-enter them:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

Upgraded to Tiger; Mail can Send, but not receive... help!

Hi there,
I've come across lots of issues people have had importing all their mailboxes when they've upgraded from Panther to Tiger, but my wife's problem is different - - Mail can Send, but not receive. 'Get Mail' hasn't worked since the upgrade. I've been on the phone with my POP server provider, and all my Mail Account settings are correct. I can send mail, as I say, and sure enough, there it is in her Hotmail web page, along with all the other messages people have sent her in the last two weeks...
So why can't Mail 'get' these messages, if all the settings are correct?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Malcolm

You’re welcome.
If you deleted a POP account, then all the messages stored in that account’s mailboxes has certainly been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
Remove Account
Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
To prevent that from happening, you should have moved those messages to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving them in the account’s mailboxes. Actually, using Inbox and Sent for archiving purposes is a bad idea regardless.
If the messages are not on the server and you don’t have a backup (which you should have made before doing something like that), you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.
