I get all my mail on my phone, but only some of it comes through on my mac

This has been going on for while. I called my provider, checked all the settings etc. Sometimes it works fine. This morning, I had lots of overnite mail on my phone - nothing on my computer. I am now getting some mail, but the mail from overnite never showed up. I frequently used disk utility and disk warrior. Last time I trashed the prefs that seemed to help, but not sure why it keeps happening.

I am having a similar problem, that has just started recently. I am on OS 10.5.8 with all security updates run. My Mail account is an IMAP account. When I check my mail through webmail on Safari, my new messages show up immediately. However, Mail does not show them. Clicking the "check mail" button does not bring them in. I have to quit Mail and re-start it, then the messages show.
I tried to implement Ernie's solution of turning off "Use IDLE". That command is ticked in my preferences, however it is greyed out and I can't change it. Why is that? If it helps, my IMAP path prefix is blank, I'm using port 133, and "use SSL" is not ticked. These are all default settings that I have used successfully for years and haven't fiddled with.

I am trying to pair my cell phone and tablet using Messages App, but only MMS messages will come through on my tablet. I've tried pairing and unpaired, reinstalling app on my tablet, and can't figure it out. Any idea how to fix this?

I have iphone 4, uploaded iOS7. Only some of my emails are transmitted to my phone. They all show up on my computer but only some show up on the phone. Sometimes the emails on the phone delete before I can even read them. Any thoughts?

I have iphone 4 , updated to iOS 7 and had to reset phone, lost many contacts. Fixed a duplication problem on contacts. Now the problem is with email, I have a cox account, icloud account. I can send myself a test message and I always get it on the phone. I do not consistently obtain other emails, yet all the emails show up on my home computer. Do I have my settings messed up?

OK, I did the following:
I read and then deleted ALL the messages waiting for me at the Tiscali server using their webmail option.
This left my Tiscali in box completely empty.
To be on the safe side, I deleted all my Email Accounts on my Mac and loaded just one, the [email protected] - i.e. my Tiscali email address. I also reset and then changed the password.
I then got Tiscali tech support to reset my mailbox.
I then crossed my fingers!
I then sent myself a number of test emails, some from the Tiscali server webmail option, some from my PC laptop and some from Mail on my beloved Mac.
I can now confirm that I can send emails from my Mac using Mail but cannot download any. All that happens when I click "Get Mail" on Mail is that the program looks at the pop3 mail server at Tiscali but doesn't see the test emails that are waiting there for me to download.
Any suggestions???
God, Tiscali Tech Support are completely rubbish!

How can i get a specific tone for my vip email alert. all tones are in my ringtones, but only some show up in the alerts for email.

i cannot get my all my ringtones to transfer to my vip email alerts. there is a specific tone I need for one vip email alert, but that one doesn't transfer, however it IS in my ringtones and textones. how can I get that particular tone for my vip email?

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

Hello,
On the POP account it sounds like you have this checked...
Mail>Preferences>Accounts>POP Account>Advanced tab>Remove copy from Server after downloading.

Not getting all my mail

I have an Imac and an Ipad WIFI and use a Time machine base station WIFI. I also have two email accounts, both on the same ISP. The Imac is not turned on most of the time and I use the Ipad for most of my daily computing. The problem is the Ipad is not getting all my mail messages from the server. Whenever I start up my IMAC, I get more messages that the Ipad received. I have done a full reset on the Ipad, but as yet can't fix the problem.
Any ideas??

Very long shot - which might have something to do with it. The downloads are set to 25, and I don't refresh the load button. However, that is only part of the answer I think. This morning, I sent out two email messages to a group, of which I am on the list, and one my Ipad I received only one. Alos, one of the things that happens is that my wife is the other account. And we belong to a community which has a server which bounces email to all members of the community, when we send the server an email. Quite ofen, one of us will get the mail, but not the other, and it is not consistent as to who gets the email.
Fun isn't it???

How can I reinstall my mail accounts and get all my mails back?

My internal HD died a few days ago . Fortunately I did a Time Machine backup a couple of hours before it happened .
Now my MacBook Pro is back from the repair center, with a brand new HD and Mac OS 10.6.8 installed (the system I had) .
But how can I get all my mails back? Indeed I used Mail to manage many mail accounts, and some of the inboxes or local mailboxes contain messages that are a few months if not years old. I coud reconfigure my accounts, but then I only get the mails of the last few weeks downloaded (those that were not erased from the pop3-server). Is there a possibility to get all the mails (including outbox) as it was before the crash?
By the way, I'm also still looking for my address book and my iCal calendars !!
Thanks for help.

I have a MacBook Air, bought in 2010 or 2011. It is running OS 10.6.8.
I have an iMac that is the same age as my MacBook Air. My iPhone is 2nd or 3rd generation.
None can support "the Cloud". I use gmail and my iPhone and both computers are all synced.
I can't get email on my new iPad that does use "The Cloud".
Please help.

I have a friend who was going to sync her phone with my computer to get the new update.. how do i add her phone with out her losing everything on her phone and not getting all my info on her phone..

First, create a separate login on your computer for your friend. Do this BEFORE you do anything else. Next, make sure iTunes is up to date. Then:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in iTunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

I have two computers one 10.5.8 one 10.6.8. Updated the 10.6.8 and now my mail has disappeared on one computer - do I sync account to get all my mail content back?

You can do it. This article from Macworld will be helpful to you:

I recommend the "brute-force" method.
Just make sure you have your data backed up properly!

If you have never connected the phone to iTunes and backed it up or used iCloud to backup your data, it is lost at this point.
The only way to get back into the phone is to restore it.

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro and when connecting my iPhone 5 to the Macbook's Messages app, I clicked cancel after seeing the 6 digit code. I thought I could easily get that code back to my phone, but can't figure it out at all. Any help?
