I can't access my emails, but my wife can.

Hi there,
We've had a MacBook Pro for 2 years (primarily my wife's, but I share it). My wife and I both have an inbox account. For the last 2 days, I've not been able to receive any NEW emails. I get them on my iphone, but not on her laptop. She, on the other hand, is receiving as normal.
We can both send new emails.
Why would this be?   I'm not an expert on computers, but I should add that ordinarily we live in Monaco but are currently an hour down the road in France. My pop is the monaco server, and I thought that maybe this was the issue, but over the past 2 years we've been down at this French house umpteen times and it's never been an issue for me and it's still not an issue for my wife, so I have to believe that it's not anything to do with that.
Er, PLEASE help!!!!!
Thanks
Rob

Now I feel stupid!!!   But I shall post this as a help to anyone else who has a problem....
I just noticed that there was a squiggly line next to my account (and also one on next to my draft or sent email - I can't remember which one) and I pressed on ths squiggly line and it popped up with a note saying that I was offline (or words to that effect).
I've resolved my problem but I hope that this may help someone else who reads this forum who has had a similar problem.
Cheers

  • I keep getting an error pop-up when I try to access my email. The pop-up says Cannot Get Mail  The connection to the server failed.  I get this pop-up on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad. I can still access my email, but the pop-up is real annoying.

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

    How can I access alternate email address?, How can I access alternate email address?

    I can't see why Tokyo should be a problem - rather the reverse given the Japanese commitment to technology. Can you get at http://icloud.com ? (Remember that you can't access that on an iOS device). Or you should be able to access it in your Mail app or application - what sort of problems are you having?

  • Mail 4.5 can't access POP3 acct, but iPhone & iPad can

    Apple Mail 4.5 stopped retrieving / sending for my POP3 (Yahoo business mail) account.  However, my iPhone and iPad continued to work.  Apple Mail will try and try to send/retrieve and then does one of the following:
    Displays the little warning icon next to the account name in the Inbox.  Double-clicking the icon displays "The server returned the error: The attempt to send data to the server “pop.bizmail.yahoo.com” failed."
    Displays Enter Password for Account "Account Name".
    I did not change my Apple Mail account preferences nor did I change my Yahoo mail credentials.  The problem just started out of nowhere.  I also have two other email accounts in Apple Mail (both Gmail) and have not experienced any issues.
    I've tried the following without any luck:
    In Apple Mail, verified settings matched the iPhone and iPad, including incoming/outgoing servers, password, authentication, SSL
    Logged into Yahoo mail account using a browser and changed the password.  Updated MBP, iPhone and iPad.  iPhone and iPad work, MBP does not.
    In Apple Mail, rebuilt the account (didn't appear to do anything)
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Greetings,
    Before I get started, doesn't a Yahoo business account offer IMAP access?  If you are checking your account on multiple devices you might like IMAP.  Perhaps you've explored that option and prefer POP.  Just a thought.
    Go to Mail > Quit Mail
    Go into the program "Keychain Access".
    Search for your email account by your email address within Keychain Access
    Delete all references to your yahoo email account and the yahoo email servers both POP and SMTP.
    Go the the Keychain Access Menu and Keychain First Aid > Repair
    Quit Keychain Access
    Launch Mail and check the POP account -- it should prompt for your password -- enter it and choose remember
    If the issue persists at this point create a new user on your computer and see if this POP account can be checked there.
    Cheers!

  • My usual iCloud account has been locked out.  I tried the email link - didn't receive an email.   So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc..

    My usual Apple ID/iCloud account has been locked out.  I tried the email link - didn't receive an email.   So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc..  How do I get the Apple ID I want to use working again?   Help. 

    Hi JkeeneSoldano,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
    Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
    Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
    Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
    From:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

  • After I right-clicked on an unwanted email in Microsoft Web Access and put a filter on it all my emails and the menus disappeared. I can re-access in IE but how do I restore what I have foolishly done in Firefox?

    I was working through my emails in Microsoft Web Access when I came across an email from a sender who keeps spamming me. I right-clicked on this unwanted email, saw a filter option and (recklessly) chose it. ALL my emails and the menus disappeared. I can re-access my emails in MWA in IE but how do I restore what I have foolishly messed up in Firefox? When I get to my email page in MWA in Firefox I now see nothing but the movable vertical bar.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • Help please! I have just installed Snow Leopard and now I can't access my gmail account. I can complete the sign in boxes ok but the blue indicator bar freezes and prevents access to my emails.

    I am using an older browser and OS because I cannot upgrade right now. I can access my email but cannot seem to put anything into the TRASH and if I do get some things to go in, I cannot empty. I would love to get compliant with my 5gb of free storage!

        We are sorry to have lost you as a valued customer ndl9! I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you are having with trying to pay your final bill. Our best recommendation is the pay my bill link, which should allow you access based on your former phone number or account number. Did you try both? As an additional option, you can reach our automated system from an alternate line by dialing 800-922-0204 and then entering your former wireless number. http://vz.to/1fdEQVi

    Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

  • EMAIL APPLICATION QUITS ON LAUNCH AND CAN'T ACCESS MY EMAILS

I'm always connected with Wi-Fi / Data Plan, I was able to use all my personal as well Business Email Accounts properly on my iPhone 5 but since few days, I'm not able to use it cause it Quits on launch of mail Application (as default App) along with Phone & Safari & Music. I tried to check my all email set up in Setting and also counter check on Laptop (windows 7) and all are OK and working properly but still not able to use it.
    I tried all troubleshoots except deleting all my email ids.
    Please guide, how can i access my emails on iPhone 5 now,
    Thanking you,
    Sp

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Delete and re-add the accounts.

  • I can't access my email account on my iPad

    I Had delete and set up my email account due to problems. Now I can only access the inbox, but not my saved messages. How can I fix this?

    AAll my email came in through yahoo, but my provider is also sbc global.net. When I couldn't get any email through yahoo I added another account and used ATT (sbc global.net) as my provider which is now getting me my incoming mail, butt i can't see any of my saved/sent mail for the account. Does that make any sense?

  • Can't access my emails

    Hi  there
    I've had my BlackBerry for ages but today is the first time I've had this problem, I don't know if I've re-set something by accident. 
    Basically I can't access my emails - the star/asterisk sign shows up on the menu to show that new messages have come in (and I know they have because I can see them on my laptop) but when I click any of the email icons (the general 'Messages' one, or the two separate email accounts I have) they just take me to text messages rather than email messages.
    Help!
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Chris, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.

  • On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
    If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
    If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.
