I haven't gotten any incoming mail in the past 3 days from my gmail account which worked fine previously. What settings should I check?

I suspect my settings for Mail are incorrect and are causing my iPad 2 not to receive new mail from my gmail account. I have experimented with various settings and at this point Mail is non functional; no incoming or outgoing. I'm using WiFi not a data plan. Can someone please tell me what my settings should be to correct my problem?

If you tinkered with the actual settings for gmail in the mail app, you may have done more damage than good. Sometimes it's best to delete the account and start over again, rather than try to adjust settings that worked previously.
Before you delete the account and start over (if you are consodereing that) try force closing mail, reset your iPad and try mail again.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT2500 I have just bought a new Mac Air. I am usually a PC user. It has not brought any emails in for the past two days. (My husband picked it up from the Apple shop 2 days ago and it has the emails from when the apple store had it) but not the past 2 day

I have just bought a MacAir. The Mac shop moved my data over two days ago and my husband picked it up. The apple shop down loaded my emails up until 2 days ago. But I have just started the computer and it has not brought in emails from the past 2 days. Can anyone advize me what to do? I am an Apple virgin after only ever using PCs.

Are you connected to an ISP? Have you set up your Mail preferences per your ISP's requirements?

All my calls have started going to voice mail for the past few days. I have tried everything possible. Does anyone else face the same problem? I am using iphone5s

Is anyone facing problems with receiving calls? All my calls suddenly seem to be going into voicemail. I have tried everything possible. Can someone please suggest solutions.

Also - have you by any chance been using WiFi calling?

Mail Delivery Error only when sending from certain email accounts

I posted in another thread regarding this however the problem has seemed to get more interesting.
On a whim i decided to change which e-mail account I was sending from and re-sent the exact same PDF document from my MobileMe(instead of Gmail) and it worked perfectly!! got the e-print confirmation about it preparing for printing and then whalla the print! Went back to try gmail and got the Mailer Deamon error again:
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
[email protected]
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.7.1 Command rejected (state 18).
could it be specifically related to Gmail or googles servers? Are there specific mail providers that work/don't work(for example MobileMe vs Gmail vs Yahoo, BlackBerry, etc...)
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

and while I had read that information and appreciate you re-providing that I'm still not sure exactly what that tells me. In both cases I was using Apple's Mail (once to send from a Gmail account which failed and once from MobileMe win succeeded) and then again from my BlackBerry handhelp(in which case neither account worked)
since both Apple Mail, Blackberry and also Gmail are "tested" I'm assuming you're pointing out the "testing does not guarentee full compatibility" portion of this statement which to me is misleading. If I'm using only "tested" clients but having problems it feels slightly dishonest to be marketing this product as complete. While I am optimistic about the many possibilities offered by this printer I am disappointed at present by the limited and seemingly premature release of "e-print" as a whole.
Any other potential workarounds you can think of?

Try going to Mail/Preferences/Accounts/iCloud/Advanced and setting Authentication to Apple Token.

I sent a friend some photos, since then the email keeps appearing in recovered from my mac. Everytime I delete it it comes back. also I cannot get any incoming mail, the circle keeps on spinning, I can get mail on my ipad, Has anyone got a solution please.
thanks

Yes,ranchers, I did try that a bunch of times- thanks for trying.
I'm gonna list all the things I did (that I can can think of):
Tried to force close the app.
Turned on/off wiFi
Tried letting it just run on the screen it's stuck at for like 15 minutes
Ugh...my brain is turning off-I think it's frozen like my Sims! Cornball I know.
But I've tried everything I could think of which is a bunch more things than what I was able to list. And I'll do my best to answer any questions cause I know from looking all over on different forums that I'm not the only one this is happening to. It happened to a bunch of people who I think are still waiting for theirs to get fixed.
Can the cloud save me if I upload today?

HT1277 I can't seem to receive any incoming mail from my pop account why is this?

In the past couple of days I have been unable to recieve any incoming mail, but I'm able to send emails out! There is nothing wrong with my actual server, so I'm not sure what is wrong with my mac.

I'm thinking this is an authentication or port issue. Is this how you set it up?
http://www.startlogic.com/support/tutorials/view_tutorial.bml?kbid=7958
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Hi all,
Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings. I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name. This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues. Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve: incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors. If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out". When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine. I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices... But use your own judgment. I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system. When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button. When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address. I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem). Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily. This has happened to me on numerous occasions. Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day. Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
Hope that helps some of you!

I cannot log on to my Comcast e-mail from my IMac anymore. This is a new issue, recently I had to delete cookies from my system in order so my email wasn’t frozen, but over the past few days it has went from bad to worse. I am able to enter my login information, but it just goes right back to the home page. Any suggestions…maybe I deleted something else in the process.

OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash. I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash but somehow managed to delete the bin instead. Does anyone know who to reinstate it?

You are running 10.6.8? If yes, I assume you have your install disks? As the trash bin is part of Mail app and that is an integral part of the OS, the only way I know to get it back is to reinstall the OS. You won't lose any files, just reinstall the OS over the top of the current system.

Mac Mail will not load any emails, but Airmail works fine. What to do?

Hello,
I recently purchased a MBP and did used Migration Assistant from my old MBP. Everything has worked fine except for Mail. Mail will launch and ask me to add accounts. I add an iCloud account and nothing happens, Mail does nothing and when I go to quit it won't, preferences is greyed out, and I have to force quit Mail. Internet accounts are in order. I even went so far as deleting them all and adding them all back in. Launch Mail and nothing is there.
I then did an internet recovery and installed 10.9. Same issue persists.
I took a chance and bought Airmail from the AppStore and it works perfectly. I know I can just use that but its bothering me that Mail does not work on my brand new MBP.
OSX wont let me delete Mail to try and reinstall.
Thoughts? I really dont want to wipe the disk and start from scratch.

Thanks, turns out I got a virus somehow. BWContextHandler32.exe is reporting itself to my firewall as the game BulletStorm, which I do not have, and somehow attached itself to Firefox and probably IE as well. I figured it was bogus so I blocked it. Still not sure why it just started blocking Firefox. I was denying access to it for a couple days, darn procrastination, and Firefox was working fine. Now I just have to get rid of it...I really hate windows sometimes...

Mail suddenly won't access 1 of 3 Gmail accounts

A year ago I set up Mail to get mail from three Gmail accounts (two for work, one for friends). Everything was working fine until today. Today Mail won't access one of the accounts. They've all got the same Incoming and Outgoing settings, the same Port number -- everything is the same. Even the passwords are the same. Nothing has changed at all. I tried logging into all 3 accounts through Gmail with no problems. Apple Mail seems to think my password has changed, but it has not.
I tried restarting, I tried Repairing Permissions, I tried all the usual maintenance stuff, but it still won't work on this one account.
Anyone have any idea how I can get Mail to access my Gmail again? It's totally bizarre that it's picked this one of triplet accounts to decide it can no longer access.

Same with me here...
Hey, come on, i can't connect so any more of my Gmail accounts using mail 3.6 (+ the 10.5.7 update too), my University mail account works (configured having a mail.any_university.com server).
Hey apple guys, this can't be...!???!
Maybe you should concentrate a little more on things your computer users need than on making a new iphone that is smaller than a walnut.
I wanna be able to check my mails again !

Getting all mail from a gmail account

I am trying to download all my old emails from an gmail account via thunderbird. The main reason is for backup. The problem is that each time I push on GET MESSAGES it only downloads a few mails. I need to wait till it ends and then click again and so on. It will take a lot of time from my work. Is it any way to download all at a time or at least a huge amount each time???
I am using a MacBook Pro, running MAC OS X 10.9.5 and thunderbird 31.2.0.
Thanks in forehand

see http://gmailblog.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/download-copy-of-your-gmail-and-google.html
Note the google backup file is mbox format, that is Thunderbird mail format, so use this add-on to import to Thunderbird if you want to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/

Why is Mail 6.2 not displaying messages from my Exchange account?

Greetings,
I have a new 13" MacBook Air running Mountain Lion and I'm noticing that most of the time my Mail inbox is not displaying messages from my work Exchange account; however, it does display messages correctly for my Gmail account. I've included a screen shot of what I'm experiencing.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Garry

I have the same problem, as does a coworker. It happens, for instance, if I click on another mailbox (such as Junk) then go back to the inbox. Our company uses Exchange. Quitting mail usually fixes it. A rebuild of the mailbox will too. Only happens on my Mac at work, not my Mac at home (connected via VPN).
Another problem I have is with mail not syncing. Mail I have deleted from another device (such as on my Mac at home or my iPad) does not get deleted from my inbox at work. Sometimes they'll go away when I click on them. Other times they won't go away and the only way to delete them is to rebuild the mailbox.
And lately I have had problems with attachments. Attachments sent from my Exchange account at work show up as .eml attachments in my iCloud account and mime attachments on my iPad or as a string of characters (20-30), not as an attachment. This happens whether sent from home or work.
I have our IT department looking into the third problem (which is the most vital one for me). I'll report the other two annoying problems and see what they can figure out.

I haven't gotten any incoming mail in the past 3 days from my gmail account which worked fine previously. What settings should I check?
