ICloud email messages not showing up in Mac mail

I just noticed that my Mail client on mac osx lion isn't receiving emails on my @me.com account from the iCloud. 
The emails are showing up fine on my iphone, but they are not appearing in Mail on my Mac.
This seems to be a new issue as I didn't notice it yesterday after moving on Wed to iCloud.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem today and have a solution.
I deleted the iCloud account from Mail, quit Mail, reopened Mail and then set up the account again. (I noticed that it did update the grayed out [uneditable] incoming mail server.) The messages that had been available on iOS 5 appeared in Mail and all is working fine now. It took about a minute to fix and I hope this works for you.

    The content of emails (message body) is sometimes blank in Mac mail but visible on both my iPhone and iCloud. I can't seem to find a fix?

    Strange that this is such an old thread - seems like the problem has popped up again here.

  • Hotmail messages not showing up in Mac Mail

    I have setup Hotmail as an IMAP account - it took several days for all the messages in my very large mailbox to come across.  Now that they seem to be there, Mac Mail will not display them -- I click on the inbox and nothing shows up.  I also have a Gmail account setup and those messages display properly.  If I do a find for a message I know has arrived in hotmail, it shows the results of the find.  Anyone have suggestions on how I can get my messages to display properly?
    Thank you

  • TS4002 Once I send my email on icloud, it does not show up on my mail client or on icloud.  How can I retrieve an email sent this way?

    Once I send my email on icloud, it does not show up on my mail client or on icloud.  How can I retrieve an email sent this way?

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • Received Email Messages Not Showing

    I have a user who occasionally does not receive emails sent to him. When I started to investigate, I found that the emails are actually delivered to his inbox on the server but they never show up in the inbox on his laptop. The senders of the emails never get a failure notice since it was actually delivered. Worst of all, some times the messages do work. Note, this only happens with a handful of the users who send him emails. Sometimes they come through just fine. There doesn't seem to be a pattern that I can find. It's not a time of day, a means of sending (mac mail vs iPhone), a domain, etc.
    To try and resolve this, I have rebuilt the index file. I have rebuilt all of his email boxes. I have reconstructed his mailstore via the Server Admin tool. I have repaired permissions both on the server and the laptop. None of these actions has solved the problem.
    Anyone have a suggestion about how to proceed?

  • Mail not showing up in Mac mail and iphone (Sky email UK)

    Hi,
    This relates to a post from yesterday which I thought was solved, if only… !
    If I check my mail on iphone it doesn't show up later in Mac mail. I have 5 accounts set up. 3 work fine, 2 don't. My Sky email account and a domain account that is set up for forwarding via Sky.
    It seems to be a problem with Sky. This other forum suggests putting "recent" into the Mac Mail user name, doesn't help. It also mentions setting up a IMAP Sky account. I have never used IMAP, always POP. If I set up IMAP on phone can I still get POP mail on my Mac?
    http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/sky-email-portal-log/17836-iphone.html#post158522
    This other forum suggests unlocking the email account, never heard of that. Sounds dodgy?
    http://customerforum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1285&highlight=sky
    Thanks in advance, I've spent hours going through all this!
    Cheers!

    I had to make an IMAP account instead of POP. Now SEEMS to work…

  • ICloud email account not showing

    I think that happened after I assigned gmail as a default email account my icloud ( @me.com) disappeared from mailboxes. How do I get it back as a second email account?

    If you go to "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" is the iCloud account still listed and does it have mail turned on?
    If not, add it back or turn mail on, respetively.
    If it is still there and has mail active, your Mail app may be looking at only the one inbox instead of the unified inbox. If so, use the left-facing arrow button in the upper left corner (bearing the name of the account) to return to the list of mailboxes and choose "All inboxes" instead of just the one.

  • ICloud email account not showing up

    I've tried without success to add my icloud email account to Mail.  I can go to my ICloud account to get my mail and even get it on my IPhone 5S, but not on my IMac.  Any advice?

    The iCloud account is auto created by signing into iCloud. The cox.net account will have to be created manually by you.
    For your iCloud account, go to system preferences and sign out of iCloud completely. Then go to Mail's preferences, accounts tab, and see if the iCloud account is gone from accounts listed. If not, highlight the account and delete it using the "-" sign at the bottom of the window.
    Quit Mail, then reopen Mail. Go back into System Preferences, click on the iCloud icon and sign back into iCloud. Be sure to check the box for Mail.
    That should correct any problems you may be having with the iCloud account.

  • SUDDENLY - IMAGES NOT SHOWING UP IN MAC MAIL

    Suddenly, just in the last few days, my Mac Mail isn't showing any images in the messages themselves in any of my accounts. What setting could be the cause? I have checked, "Display remote images in HTML messages", but that doesn't seem to help. Where there should be images are instead "?" marks.
    I've checked Little Snitch for any connections that were being blocked as well as my Mail preferences and nothing is solving the issue.  It's happening on both of my PPC computers running 10.5.8.
    Mail version 3.6 (936)
    Thanks a million for any help or advice.

    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.

  • Mail not showing up in Mac mail, once downloaded to iphone

    Hi,
    Thanks as always…
    I have 5 diff email accounts set up on my phone and mac. 2 of the accounts (the most important two) are playing up.
    If I check email first on my iphone they don't show up later in Mac Mail. Surely if I don't delete them on the phone they should still show up?
    Isn't that what Sync is all about?
    PS: Don't use Mobile Me etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks…

    You're welcome.
    So what is itunes doing when it syncs my mail? Just the settings? Is it even worth keeping the sync box checked in itunes then?
    Account settings only, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. After account settings are successfully transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, there is no reason to keep this option selected for your iPhone sync preferences - unless you make a change to account settings on your computer that you want automatically transferred to your iPhone.
    I suggest checking your account settings on your iPhone and use Never for removing messages from the server when downloaded for the account settings for each account. You can removed messages from the server in other ways. If you use the Mail.app on your Mac for accessing the accounts, you can removed messages from the server as needed with the Mail.app, or via webmail access for each account.

  • Solution to incoming mail not showing up in Mac Mail

    I had a strange thing happen two days ago and did exhaustive research trying to resolve the issue.  I couldn't find the answer anywhere to my issue.  I did figure out what was going on, so I thought I'd post the solution here. 
    I'm running OS X v10.8.5 and Mac Mail v6.6.  Two days ago I stopped being able to get any new emails.  All my settings were correct and had not changed.  I could see my new emails in my webmail, but it was not downloading to Mac Mail.  I could see the count of new emails in Mail Activity and could see all the email on my POP server in Account Info.  But nothing was downloading.  The solution ended up being on my mail host's end.  I had them reset my mail account and voila!  It took less than 3 minutes.  An easy solution to a very disturbing and troubling problem.  I hope this helps someone else out there. 

    Thanks for the tip!

  • Messages not showing on mac

    I have my messages/imessage enabled to sync between all 3 of my devices.  All of a sudden messages from one person are not showing on my mac.  They still sync between my phone and ipad, but not the mac.  They had been there up until the middle of last month.  Other messages between other people are still showing and syncing between all 3 devices.  I know we are all using iphones and ipads, so why would they stop syncing in one spot with only one person?  Can any one help? 

    HI,
    The .bag one holds the Server info that the app should be contacting for the iMessages account.
    The .imservice ones holds the details that you entered such as the Apple ID and the "registered" aliases such as the iPhone Number and any other linked email addresses.
    Although I have not deleted my iMessages account and cleared the .plist to try and find out at which point in the "registration" process they are created I would have though the Server one would have been created first so that the details you enter are sent to the server.
    However it is possible that the account details are "stored" first and then the server is contacted.
    There have been other threads (well, one that I recall)  about this losing of "Names" and showing only iPhone numbers but it has not been resolved yet (or at least the person has not come back to say one way or the other)
    In iChat when there have been issues with details that should be in the Address Book it has been found that the My Card (Head and Shoulder icon) has not been the card for the Mac User account (Not your details).
    This has stopped the AIM side in particular from Logging in  (the AIM one tends to be loaded first so any issue shows this) as the missing details are needed to fill in the header bar of any Buddy list  (where it shows your name or "handle").
    In this case I am not expecting the issue to be tied to the Contacts app but it would be worth ruling it out.
    The next palce to check is the View Menu > Buddy Names when the main Messages Window is "Front"  (the interface and chat window).
    This menu item offers ways to display the Names of your Buddies (normally) from AIM and Jabber lists as it is a setting that have been present for a long time in iChat.
    The "Handle" option would normally be the AIM Screen Name or Jabber ID but it also effects the iMessages connections and displays the Apple IDs and numbers.
    It is used in conjunction with the View Menu > Messages > Show Pictures and Names
    However from your phraseology in your first post I believe you are seeing phone numbers only when you start a New Message and use the Blue icon to see the Contacts List ?
    The Show Handles option does not effect the Contacts Drop down only the Buddies one.
    DO you have problems with Mail in auto-completing Address when Sending ?
    Or do you have problems when displaying Names from people you have in the Contacts list ?
    For example my Mail shows one of my email associated with an Address Card for one of my other computers (it helps with Bonjour in iChat and Messages)
    I am suggesting that the Mail app might also be displaying numbers only.

  • My iCloud email does not work. Getting error message that i need to uncheck SSL . This does not work. Help

    icloud Email does not work. When running Connection doctor it indicates I must check or uncheck SSL. This has not fixed the problem

    iCloud email addresses (@mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com) require SSL. Is your address an iCloud address or someone else?

  • I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?
