I get my email on my iPhone but not receive it on my MacPro

I have checked all of my settings, but since the end of December, I have not been able to get incoming emails to my Mac POP account.  They all go to my phone.  My Mac is running OS 10.10.1; iPhone 4S is running iOS 8.1.3.  Ideas?

There are three basic types of incoming mail account: POP, IMAP, and Exchange. With a POP account, mail is downloaded from the server to the mail reader (such as Mail) and then usually deleted from the server. With IMAP and Exchange, the mail stays on the server indefinitely and is synchronized with all mail clients that access the account.
If more than one user or device is accessing the same POP account and deleting messages after downloading them, the first one to connect after a message is delivered to the server will retrieve it, and the others will never see that message. In Mail and probably all other mail readers, there is a setting to leave messages on a POP server after downloading them. Ideally, though, you should avoid using POP at all if you have multiple clients for the same account.

  • HT3228 I get my emails on my Iphone but not my home computer,how can I get on both

    I have a new Iphone 4s. I now get my yahoo email on my Iphone but it doesn't show up on my home computer now. How can I get the emails on both Iphone and my laptop?

    You need an IMAP or Exchange account to do this. I believe Yahoo offers IMAP, at an additional cost, so check with them.

    Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive.  I was told it was just worn out.  So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed.  So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to.  Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!!  Thanks!

    Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
    I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. 

  • I can send emails and texts on my iPhone but not receive

    How can it be possible that I am sending emails and texts but not receiving either?

    Hi Go to Settings email accounts delete each account then add back again. Text messages are run by your network provider check with them for that problem.  Cheers Brian

  • HT201774 Deleting MS Exchange emails on the iPhone but not on the server

    Using a MS Exchange account - if I delete a message on my iPad, how can I ensure it is not deleted off the server?  I know how to do this with POP accounts on the iPhone but I can't find the same option on the MS Exchange account settings on the iPhone.

    I don't believe it is possible. I'll have to take a look, but there is no setting I'm aware of that will selectively sync like that, preventing deletions. Exchange and IMAP accounts provide full synchronization. If you want to get it out of sight on the phone, but not delete it entirely, move it to a folder.

  • Emails delete from iphone but not from my pc?

    Hello all,
    I have been noticing a problem lately but sadly cannot put my finger on when it started to occur because I was not paying enough attention to the details until it was too late.
    I have an iPhone 3GS with all the latest updates and such. I have a personal Yahoo! email account set up on my phone as well as my university Outlook email. This is an "outlook live" email that I access by going to outlook.com on a computer, not the kind of inbox that you have to download. I receive new emails from my Outlook account on my phone with no problem, but when I delete emails from my phone, then log on to my email on a computer, the emails are not deleted. I do most of my emailing from my phone, so I was shocked to log in to my email on my pc one day to discover that I had 132 emails even though I had deleted nearly every single email that I received. This appears to have started abruptly. I have had this account set up on my phone for many, many, many months and have not had any problems. I haven't changed my password or anything like that... Has anybody else experienced this problem and how did you fix it?

    This is possible with one of two ways.
    With an IMAP account that is accessed as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail app and the same with an email client used on your computer for accessing the account. If you don't use an email client on your computer for accessing the account, this will work when accessing the account via webmail access using a browser on your computer.
    It is possible to access a Yahoo account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail app but it is not possible to access the account as an IMAP account with an email client on your computer. Yahoo doesn't support accessing a Yahoo account as an IMAP account with an email client on your computer.
    With a POP account along with the setting for the account on the iPhone to remove messages from the server after being downloaded when moved from the account's Inbox mailbox or in 7 days after a message has been downloaded.

  • Since moving to iCloud, my mobileme email works ONLY on my iPhone, but not on my PC with Outlook.  I get an error message indicating the authentication is not accepted.  any suggestions?

    To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.

    I'm trying to reply to an email on my iPhone, but I get the message "the recipient was rejected by the server". What have I not set properly?

    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Account > Account Name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and enter your email account and password. Make sure things are filled in properly.

    IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

  • On my mac i accidentally deleted all my documents and now i cant play my songs from itunes but can on my phone and my photos are there but when i open them they are not but i can see some on my iphone but not all. How do i get these back or are they lost?

    I accidentally dleted all my documents and emptyed the trash can. I can play my music on my iphone but not through my mac because it says it cant locate the file/original and my photos are on my computer but when i double click to open them they come up with an ! however some of the photos are on my iphone but just the ones i took using the camera function. Can i get this stuff back or it lost forever.....

    At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

  • I have changed my icloud email in my iphone but in macbook still using old email. I tried to delete the old email in macbook but it requires password and it does not accept the old password for the old email anymore. How do I remove this old email?

    Hello farahani hairon nizar,
    If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

    I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

    I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks).  Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window.  I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box.  When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window.  It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

  • How do I get my incoming emails in Mail on my Imac to automatically go to Icloud?  My sent emails go there automatically but not my incoming emails.

    How do I get my incoming emails in Mail on my Imac to automatically go to Icloud?  My sent emails go there automatically but not my incoming emails.  I'm using OS X 10.8.5.

    No, I'm not using the icloud email address.  I am using my email address [email protected]  Let me try to explain what I'm trying to do.  I'd like the emails that I send from and that are sent to my pacbell.net email address to also show up on icloud so if something happens to my imac which is the primary computer my emails are preserved on Icloud and I can access them there.
    Is that possible?
    Note:  I have been able to move my pacbell.net emails to the icloud account manually.
