IMAP question - message showing up in iOS but not in Mail.app - why?

I set up an account in Mail.app Version 5.2 (1257). It's an IMAP account linked to a Gmail account.
Just now I saw a (1) indicator that a new mail had arrived. But when I clicked on the account's Inbox there were no messages there.
I also checked on my iPhone, which also uses IMAP for the same Gmail account, and I can see the message and read it.
I went back to Mail.app but it's still not there. So I manually selected Mailbox > Get New Mail > account name. After doing this the (1) indicator went away and there is still no mail in the Inbox.
But the message is still there when looking via both my iPhone and iPad.
I also tried closing and opening a new View Window, but it didn't help.
Finally I quit Mail and restarted it and could see the message.
But what gives? Why couldn't I see the message in Mail.app on my iMac without restarting Mail?
Thanks,
doug

I'm not sure there is a setting for that. I don't see one anywhere.
But remember - the reason I knew there was a waiting message to begin with was because the dock indicator displayed a number and next to the account's Inbox was a (1) in parentheses. So it must have checked for mail. The message just wasn't there until I quit Mail and started again.
Anyway, thanks. I'll just see if this happens again. Maybe it was a one time rare bug.
Thanks,
doug

E-Mail shows up on alert, but not under mail

First time owner of an iPhone...I have the 4S. I setup my personal and work e-mail. The "front page" shows 100 new e-mails, but when I go into mail it is on the "welcome to mail" page. I found one thread that suggests going into Settings...Mail, Contacts, Calendar...choosing account and then going into advance settings and directing e-mail to in-box...but there doesn't seem to be this option. Any ideas?

On my set up, with the mobile me sync panel set to automatic and mail accounts ticked, I recieve incoming mail instantly. (on phone and mac)
Mail Accounts under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account settings is for syncing email account settings with the Mail.app between multiple Macs only. This has nothing to do with Fetching messages or new messages being pushed to the Mail.app or to the iPhone.
The iPhone includes a Push setting, which can be turned on or off. Are you saying if you turn Push access off on your iPhone and leave Mail Accounts selected under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account settings on your Mac, new messages will be pushed to your iPhone with your MobileMe account even though Push access is turned off on your iPhone?
+There is no setting at System Preferences > MobileMe under the Sync tab that has anything to do with the Mail.app.+
+The Fetch setting for the Mail.app is at Mail > Preferences under the General tab.+
+The Mail.app setting that allows for Push access with an IMAP account is available under the Advanced tab for the account preferences - use IDLE command if the server supports it.+
The iPhone includes a Fetch setting, which is used if Push access is turned off. The iPhone includes a global push setting - on or off, and you can enable or disable push access separately for received messages, contacts and calendars with a MobileMe account.

OSA-Error message shows up in R3, but not in Portal(BSP)

Hello,
I'm working on Objective Setting & Appraisal with workflow & portal. At the template level I've put some business check which if not met at the document level throws up error msg. This works fine in R3 and the error msg is shown at the bottom of the screen at the status bar.
But this same error msg doesn't show up when I open the document in the portal through workflow. The appraisal document opens in the portal through BSPs. When the condition is not met, on saving or submitting the page remains there ... but no error msg. We tried to show the error msg as a pop up and the pop up works fine in R3 but not in portal.
Pls advice how to solve this problem.
JKT

Hi Sameer,
We have used the application hap_document under BSP Application. And we have not used any standard user exit. All we have done is created a new enhancement under HRHAP00_DOC_BC ;ie; Appraisal Document - Business Check.
I can see one document_error.htm Document - Error Handling. Do I have to do anything with this page ? if so, should it not call this page automatically whenever there is an rror msg ?
Pls suggest. Thanks

Attachments visible with internet mail, but not with Mail.app

Others have written before about this question, but I don't find a satisfying answer (that would have to come from the Apple people themselves). I received emails that contained several attachments (pdf files), as visible from the size of the messages and the raw source, but only one or two of the attachments showed in the Mail application (version 4.5), and sometimes there was even no body text. I was puzzled and went to the web application of my provider to look at the same messages. EVERYTHING was there! so I decided to transfer the messages again to myself, and miraculously everything was there as well in Mail.app.
Now, is this a weakness of Mail.app, a wrong use of attachments by the sender or what else? Anyway, it is annoying, because I wonder how many attachments I have never seen.
Does anyone know of a solution, please?

Okay, I found the answer if anyone is having the same problem. The Mail POP settings on the Mac for the various Accounts I had were outdated. They were just for Dial-Up. Here is the link for the entire ATT page that deals with High Speed and iPhone connections, and the part in particular that helped me get it going.
http://help.att.net/docs/use/email/gen/prbxxx_xxx_mail-news-settings.htm?area=customeremail-osxmail&platform=OSMAC&faqcounter#isps
Note: Worldnet support is limited to providing the iPhone E-mail Configuration Settings. For all other iPhone technical support issues, refer the customer to: att.com/wireless
Note: If you are using Mac OS 10.x, set up Mac OS X Mail to access your AT&T Worldnet Service e-mail.
E-mail Settings:
Mail Server Type: POP3
Incoming Mail (POP): ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net

Note: If you are using Netscape Mail, enter your other ISP's outgoing e-mail server. If you are not sure what the SMTP server name is, contact your non-AT&T Worldnet Service ISP.
Ensure that the option My server requires authentication is checked.
User name or POP name: Enter the full e-mail address in the User Name field. For example: [email protected] or [email protected]
Ensure that the option Always connect to this account using is selected, and Local Area Network is chosen from the drop-down menu on the Connections tab.
Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 465 for SMTP.
Ensure that secure connection (SSL) is enabled and set to port number 995 for POP3.

Search works in spotlight, but not in Mail.app

If I type in the search box in Mail, nothing happens. The same query in Spotlight works. What can I do to fix that?
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

> I don't use the .mac address, but I guess it's a .mac account.
Still not sure what you mean. It cannot be a .Mac account if it doesn’t have a .Mac address associated with it, and your mail cannot be stored on a .Mac server if you don’t have a .Mac account... What does Mail show in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Account Type?
Anyway, I don’t know how to solve the problem in your case. When searching in Spotlight doesn’t work, the problem can be fixed by re-creating the Spotlight database. When searching in Spotlight works but Entire Message searches in Mail don’t, re-creating Mail’s index usually fixes the problem, but not always and I don’t know why.
Try this to try to identify the problem:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. They may provide some clues.

You may try setting up Mail again from scratch and importing your mail back, but I don’t know whether that will work either:
1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/. Move (not copy) the entire Mail folder out of there, to the Desktop.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop.
5. Open Mail and set it up again from scratch. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and check that everything works fine.
6. You’ll have to re-configure all your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
7. If Mail works fine now and you had any messages stored in local mailboxes, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import your mail from the old Mail folder that’s now on the Desktop. Import the Mailboxes folder first, then each of the POP-username@mailserver account folders.
8. If .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you wish and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Junk mail arrives in iPhone 5s mail app but not MBP mail app

This is a strange observation and I am wondering if others have experienced this...
My iPhone is a 5s running iOS v7.1. When I access my email accounts via my iPhone each day, I am greeted with a slew of junk mail on a daily basis (typically Monday thru Friday). Not a new thing right? However, when I access those same email accounts from my MacBook Pro I never receive any junk mail (typically Saturday and Sunday). In fact, junk mail never even appears in my Junk folder on the MBP. Now, during the week when I do receive the junk mail on my iPhone, I wait until I return home and open the mail app on my MBP whereupon all of the junk mail received on my iPhone NOW shows up in Mail on my MBP THEN automatically moves into the junk folder. So, my suspicion is that spammers have now determined how to identify mail access between devices (iPhone vs. MBP). I am guessing they may be capitalizing the the inability of the iPhone mail app to filter junk mail.
Am I imagining this or has anyone else experienced this scenario? Many thanks.

Hello rayalamx
If the Mail app is not opening, then I would remove the email accounts. Open mail to see if that resolves the issue and then start adding the accounts back in.

HT1694 I have recently updated my iPad and cannot access my mail account (I can access it through Microsoft) but not the mail app that's on iPad.. It continually keeps saying cannot verify account or password.

I have updated my pad and now cannot access my Email through mail on the ipad (I can access it on the internet via Microsoft ) I have tried changingassword and server to pop3... But nothing working that if read from ppl. Please help.. As I love using mail on the pad making it much faster and easier to view my mail. I don't wanna go back to logging in over the web.... Please help :)

When resetting your password, did you turn on two-step authentication? If you did, the Mail App isn't compatible with it - either, you need to create an application password and use that to log in using the iPhone Mail App, (instead of your Microsoft Account password) or disable two-step authentication to make it work.

My recent podcasts are showing on iTunes site but not in podcast app or iTunes

Hi,
I've never used this forum before, but am struggling to find out what is going wrong with my podcasts.
I have a podcast that has been running fine for some time, but now no longer updates in the podcast app, or in my podcast subscriptions in iTunes.
This is the podcast >>> https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/slam-radio/id584845850
The last episode I can see in my iTunes podcast subscriptions and podcast app is episode 55, yet the most recent, episode 59, shows fine on the itunes website.
Is there a reason that I can listen to the most recent episode via the itunes site, but my subscriptions wont update?
It seems that the problem has been experienced by several people.
As far as I'm aware, I havent changed the way I do anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

The 'itunes:summary' tag for the episode of 19th January ends like this -
"This year, I will exercise more.&quot...</itunes:summary>
As the '"' tag has been truncated you have an ampersand (indicating the start of a code sequence) but the code is never finished. This renders the rest of the feed unreadable, and as that includes the closing tags the entire feed is invalidated and iTunes cannot read it.
There's no reason to have all these '"' tags - just type " (iTunes won't render the code but will display it, which looks messy) - but in any case don't let a code be truncated like that or you will have this problem.
Incidentally it's better all round to start your own thread when you have a query, rather than tag on to an existing one which can cause confusion if a discussion is ongoing. You're also more likely to be noticed.

Fonts showing up in TextEdit but not in Apple apps

Hi all
I have a version of the fonts issue that seems well discussed on these and other pages, which is this:
I have installed a couple of fonts. They show up in Font Book. They also show up in TextEdit. But they don't show up in Pages, Keynote etc.
Any help gratefully received!

I don't have access to a 6.0 system at the minute, but I'm pretty sure order isn't a standard field in KSB1. It would be in KOB1, of course, but the K*B1 transactions are for displaying actual line items recorded on various kinds of cost objects.
In the reporting scenario, how's the order factor in? Did it receive statistical postings, or something?

IPhone 4S shows max strength connection but not loading mail or finding Safari pages

My iPhone is the exception. We have an iPad and an iPad mini and both connect from the same room to the same router as the iPhone and the iPads work faultlessly. The iPhone shows a full 5 bars connection strength but nothing is coming to it from the internet. The timer whirls around but, eventually, mail, Safari and all other internet apps just time out.
I've tried resetting the network by "forgetting" then re-connecting with a new entry of the password. I've tried shutting down the iPhone and re-starting. Nothing seems to have any effect.
Help please?

Oh dear, wrong community! I can't find a community for iPhone problems?

TS1398 i can have the internet but not the itunes app. why?

I have been trying to get these ipads to work for weeks.
Both of them all of a sudden worked last night after week of not working but when I got up this moring they both wouldn't connect to Apps.
Yes they are updated
I did check network
i have been able to get the account up
I did turn it off and then back on again
I did turn the power and home button off and still not working
Any ideas, this is suckish not having apps

If you still can't connect to the App Store - and you are getting the can't connect to the iTunes Store message, look here at Apple's troubleshooting tips for that particular issue.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
If nothing in there helps, take a look at this article for some other tips that might help.
http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
You keep saying that you can't connect to Apps. There is no "Apps" to connect to on the iPad. We assume that you are talking about the App Store. But any further explanation that you can provide could be helpful in resolving this problem for you.
Are you getting an error message? Do the apps load in the App Store?
BTW .... You might want to try restarting/rebooting your router - even though you can get Internet. Sometimes it helps. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

HT201272 how do I redeem coins I purchased for Bejeweled blitz? It shows I purchased them on itunes, but not on the app.

How do I redeem coins I purchased for Bejeweled Blitz? The purchase shows up on iTunes, but not on the app.

It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
