I'm not receiving new messages

I am unable to get new messages in Thunderbird on my iMac. I can get new messages on my iPhone, PC, and MacBook, but not on my iMac. I tried restarting in safe mode, and I double-checked my account information. I am running Thunderbird 31.3.0, OSX Yosemite 10.10.

Nothing so far, other than to look for answers. I'm a newbie to this. I can successfully send messages, but I can't receive them, other than an initial message from my cell phone carrier confirming my plan with my new iPhone 4S.

  • TS3276 Mail not receiving new messages

    I just purchased my MacBook Air 13 in last week.  Love it, but I am having a problem with Mail.  I use Google mail for my work, and it sends fine.  It also comes through fine some of the time, but after a time, it stops receiving new messages.  I notice, as I continue to get them on my phone.  Once I 'exit mail' and then reopen, they all suddenly come through. 
    Any idea what I can do to fix this?

    Same issue. Not found a fix other than restarting mail.

  • Not receiving new messages in my inbox?

    I am no longer receiving messages in my inbox.  I have tried taking the accounts offline/online; changing the preference settings and it is still not working. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thx

    Though I am still unsure as to how it happened to begin with, I was able to resolve this by deleting and creating a new account in mail. 

  • Is it possible to setup my Do Not Disturb mode not to vibrate but to let banners appear when I receive new messages?

    Hey!
    I just got a new iPhone 5S and I've been trying to adapt it to my needs.
    I do remember that on my 4S, I only switched between silent (with vibrate) and do not disturb modes.
    When I was using the phone on do not disturb, it did not vibrate but a banner appeared when I received a new SMS or Whatsapp.
    Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this on my new phone.
    Now it seems that I have to choose, when in do not disturb mode, between a completely silent phone (no vibrate and no banners) or a vibrating phone + banners when I receive new messages...
    Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot.
    Thiago

    Thank you for your answer.
    Unfortunately, when I do this DND also disables notification banners... So when I receive a message I don't even know I did...
    I'm going to try to be clearer: when the phone is not in use, it works just as I want it to. When only in Silence mode, it vibrates when I get something new; when on DND mode, it is completely muted.
    My problem is when I'm using the phone on DND mode (for example: on the bed next to my girlfriend who is asleep), I would like to have banners for SMS and Whatsapp, but no vibration, so as to know that I got a message but discretely.
    If I put on Silence notifications > Always, it does not vibrate, which is good, but it doesn't show me that I got a message at all. If i put on Silence notifications > Only while iPhone is locked, it vibrates when I receive a new message

  • Mail will not receive any messages

    As of 9:30 Thursday morning, Mail will not receive any messages. I can still compose and send but incoming messages just sit on Google's server (where I've been reading and replying). Nothing was changed, Connection Doctor shows everything to be fine, I've checked and reentered passwords, quit Mail, restarted the computer, etc.
    Suggestions?

    I tried that again, including another shut-down, and based on another link, changingthe"check for new mail" preference from "automatically" to "every 5 minutes."
    No change.

  • HT1338 hello! I need help, how come I can't receive new messages on my mail in my Macbook Pro? but I can receive it on my Iphone4s. thanx!

    hi there! can somebody please help me. I can't receive new messages in my MacBook Pro, what should I do? I can read them in my IPhone though. Thanx!

    Yes I was able to send but not receive - I actually was able to solve it myself
    Everything on the menu bar was greyed out - so nothing there helped me @ all
    Connection Doctor didn't show anything wrong
    activity box was completely blank
    shutdown - restart didn't work
    I used the help option    - still nothing
    All the while my phone was vibrating like crazy with new emails
    It was really frustrating & it seemed apple themselves don't have any real solutions to offer
    My instincts told me to delete the email completely - so I did
    After a few min I added the email account like a new one and it eventually worked - all my new emails were there, I still don't know why it stopped in the 1st place  
    Pretty much all the problems I run into I troubleshoot myself and find the solution

  • Can't receive new messages using "Mail"

    My MacBook Pro's "Mail" stopped receiving new messages!? It appears to be continuously trying to receive messages but nothing comes through. Messages sent to my ".me" account appears on my ipad and ipod but not in my "Mail" Software on my MacBook! All my settings appear to be correct (although i'm no expert). I've tried using "Connection Doctor" and the "Mobile Me" account has a message in the "Details" that says: "Logging into account..." but it never connects! Conversely, the "smtp.me.com..." accounts has a message saying: "Connection and login to server succeeded".
    In addition, I should mention that I can send messages (i.e. they get sent) but the "blue bar" in the "MAIL ACTIVITY" window always stops halfway and never moves again. The message sent also never appears in the "SENT" folder even though i have specified that it should in "Preferences".
    Finally... I cannot quit "Mail" without using "Force Quit".
    What is wrong? How can I fix it?

    Thanks Ernie for attempting to help... the port is set on "993"; the "use SSL" is checked. The "Authentication" is set to "Password". However, I did not know I needed a "password"!? I never used one before when i checked mail!? Anyway, if I need a password to check my mail, how come "mail" does not ask me for one?
    You may want to know that "IMAP Path Prefix" is empty and "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" is checked. I have no idea what theses things mean but that's the way it is. Should anything be changed?

  • Gmail and Zimbra EAS not receiving new emails

    Gmail and Zimbra are not receiving new emails.  I've switched the polling interval from '5 minutes' to 'as items arrive'.  Hitting the refresh button does nothing.
    I haven't tried changing my calendar or contact entries.  I don't know if new ones are being picked up.
    Everything was working fine yesterday morning, and then I noticed I hadn't received an email in about an hour, and I checked on gmail.com, and my internal zimbra web client.  Both had many emails.
    I don't want to have to delete and re-add the account because then I'll have to re-link all my contacts.  I use gmail EAS because I like the option of turning on push email if I want.
    Gmail is not throttling me because my ipod touch works perfectly (and has always worked perfectly).
    I haven't downloaded any new apps or changed any configurations prior to this error.

    Zimbra appears to work now. Gmail EAS is still not working. I have tried sending messages, but they are still just sitting my in outbox.

  • Gmail POP - iPhone not receiving new emails

    I have my iPhone setup to retrieve my Gmail through POP. Everything has been working great until last week, when the phone quit receiving new messages.
    I was able to create a IMAP connection and it worked fine, but that's not how I want to retrieve my mail.
    I am able to temporarily correct the problem by creating a second POP email connection. Once it's created and retrieves mail, the original account starts working again. I can then delete the new account. I've had the problem 3 times and so far this has corrected the problem. Simply disabling the new account and re-enabling when I need the fix, doesn't work.
    When it's not working, there are no error messages. I just as if there's just nothing to retrieve.
    Has anyone else seen this problem or know what the cause might be?
    Thanks.

  • IPhone 5 not receiving photo messages

    Help? My iPhone 5 is not receiving photo messages. Anyone trying to send me photos just gets the exclamation point. When I send photos they go through just fine. iMessage, SMS, MMS and Group Messaging are all switched on. This only started happening a few days ago and I have not recently changed any settings or downloaded an update. Advice?

    Hello ,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the troubleshooting steps to fix this issue of not being able to receive MMS.
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps
    Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
    Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
    Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you're roaming on a cellular provider network that is different from your billing provider's network.
    Make sure that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar of your iPhone.
    Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
    Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. If you can't send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above. MMS might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
    If you still can't send or receive MMS, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you're sending a group message.
    Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When you send messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
    If you're using a "Pay as you go" MMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. If you're unsure of your MMS plan or available balance, contact your carrier.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the new contact.
    Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process might not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    Contact your carrier to verify that you're provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    Contact your carrier to verify that there aren't blocks or filters on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    Your carrier might require modified APN settings to use MMS.

  • IPhone5 will send but not receive Text messages

    IPhone5 will send but not receive Text messages.  Specifically, I can send my grown son text messages, but he can not reply to them, nor can he send me new texts. He and I are both on Verizon, and he has a Droid phone.  His texts can be recieved by his mother, who can forward them successfully to me.  When I initally received the phone (Dec 2012) I could receive and send texts with my son with no difficulty. The trouble began (as near as I can tell) when my phone was upgraded to 6.1.1.  This is a significant problem and I would like it resolved as soon as possible.

        Scouter, let's get you reconnected with your son, via text message. Make sure that your text messaging feature is enabled in Settings>Messaging:
    enable iMessage ON
    enable "Send as SMS" to ON
    MMS Messaging ON
    You will also need to reset the network connections in:
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network
    Finally, power cycle your phone off/on and try to send your son a text message. Keep us posted. We're here to help you.

  • Iphone5 MMS: older phones not receiving group messages

    This discussion was started here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5178260
    Iphone5, iOS6.1.4, Verizon. Brand-new phone I bought a couple weeks ago. So its brand-new, mint condition, untouched.
    My phone number was ported from AT&T to Verizon. No problems as far as I can tell.
    I've been sending group messages, not realizing more than half of my friends/family were not receiving them.
    1.My aunt lives on the other side of the country and has some kind of smartphone(not iphone) and she's been receiving them just fine.
    2.My mother has a normal cellphone that is several years old AT&T, but she has only being receiving the subject line of the message. When she tries to "retrieve" the message, it always says "failed to retrieve". She has no problem getting text messages from everyone except me.
    3.My brother has a different model of a normal phone and he is on the same AT&T plan with my mother and he is able to receive my group messages.
    4.Some other friends with older phones and AT&T are not receiving the messages at all.
    So it's been very hit 'n miss on who can receive these group messages.
    I turned off iMessages first, then I finally turned off MMS Messages, and my mother was finally able to receive a group message from me.
    She has always been able to receive an individual message from me with MMS and iMessages turned on. This is strictly a group message problem of some kind.
    I was only sending her messages with text content, but the group messages always say MMS at the top regardless of what you send. I'm assuming turning off MMS forces group messages to use SMS.
    Why is iphone not able to degrade gracefully with a group message? Why can't it detect older phones in a group message and say "hmm...maybe I should use SMS, especially since the iphone is sending a message with text-only content anyway."
    It's really irritating that I have to either, remember to send INDIVIDUAL messages to every single person, OR keep MMS turned off just so older phones can receive a group message.
    Has anyone else had these kinds of problems, and if so, what did you do?
    I feel like the problem is on my end(Verizon) rather than my friends' end since so many of them are not receiving MY messages. They are receiving everyone else's messages.
    Facts:
    1. INDIVIDUAL messages work. (MMS is turned on.)
    2. SMS-ONLY GROUP messages work. (MMS is turned off so SMS is forced.)
    3. MMS group messages, even with text-only content, are not being received by some people, others are receiving them just fine.

    iMessages is not the problem. None of my friends have an iphone so I haven't been using iMessages at all.
    The problem is SMS vs MMS on group messages. For some reason, the default for group messages is MMS, even though the contents I send are only text. My mother and some of my other friends cannot receive MMS messages, but they can receive SMS messages. (I don't know if its because their phones are too old or because of their specific txtmsg plan with their provider.)
    So she automatically doesn't receive messages when I send them as a group instead of individually because they always send as MMS simply because they are GROUP and not because of the contents of the message.
    Why do group messages always send as MMS instead of SMS?
    I turned MMS OFF, in order to force group messages to always use SMS, but then the MMS setting turns itself back ON the instant I send an individual MMS to a friend who can receive those types of messages. Once MMS setting is back on, I don't realize it and send out a GROUP message, which doesn't reach everyone because once again MMS is being used instead of SMS.
    If group messages would send as SMS when I am only sending text, then there would be NO problem. It shouldn't use MMS unless I'm sending a picture or something.

  • My IPod nano 6 connects to my library but will not receive new music and playlists

    My ipod 6th generation will not receive new songs and playlists from my library on my PC. My ipod shows up in the itunes library when I connect it. It syncs when it is plugged in to computer but the sync is very short. I changed to a new computer back in September 2013. My old one crashed.  I have synced my ipad 2 and my iPhone 4S to itunes library on the new computer.  All these devices show up in the "manage my devices" list except my ipod 6th generation. There is no "add device" to this itunes account, only an option to deauthorize the computer, the iPhone or the ipad.
    The ipod downloaded songs that I added to my computer library on my new computer, but will not add new purchased songs nor library playlists.
    My computer is shared with my husband. His user account on the same computer shows up in my "manage devices" section of my itunes account. He doesn't use it. I thought I had to add my itunes on his part of the computer because his is the "main user". 
    I'm not sure what to do.  Should I take my computer, iPhone, ipad and nano to an appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store?  Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    I kept working at this after posting. On the sync page for the ipod on itunes library I chose to remove the iPods association with my old computer. It erased all the old content from the old computer and then put all my checked songs from the new computer on my iPod nano.
