Inbox mail not showing up.

I just set up a iMac. Having a problem with mail.
My iphone is not showing my mail that is in my inbox on the imac. All other mailboxes have the mail in it. I tested by sending a email to my iphone from the imac. It shows up. However, Mail sent from the imac is sent from "first name Last name" Mail sent from my iphone is sent from "apple ID"
Did I set up the imac mail incorrectly?

Mail uses files called “Envelope Index files” to keep track of messages in your local mailboxes.
Quit Mail.
Locate your Mail folder in your User's Library. Your home Library folder is hidden by default. To display it, choose Finder > “Go to Folder” and then enter “~/Library.”
Delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” in ~/Library/Mail/MailData
Open Mail
Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.

  • Mail not showing new messages on 10.8.3

    Mail not showing new messages on 10.8.3, but messages show just fine on iPhone. Nothing changed to make this happen, not sure where to start. Thanks.

    Back up all data.
    Select the problem mailbox in the mailbox list, then select
    Mailbox ▹ Rebuild
    from the menu bar.

  • Apple mail not showing all the messages?

    In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
    As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
    I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

    Solved!
    This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
    I found a solution thanks to this topic:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
    defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
    does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
    defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
    Does work brilliantly though!

  • Inbox mail not deleting?

    inbox mail not deleting?

    I figured out the problem, but not sure why it's happening. It seems that gmail will not remove messages from the inbox that are deleted from Apple Mail until I've manually gone into Trash in Apple Mail. I guess it used to sync all mailboxes before. Not sure what to do to fix this.

  • TS3276 Inbox issues - not showing some mail

    I have two accounts in my "Inbox".  Mail marked "important" does not show up in "Inbox" but does show in Gmail folder.  Sometimes regular emails do the same.  How can I get all mail to show up in the "Inbox"?  Thx.

    Me too - any ideas - this is very irritiating as anyone would surely want to see all sent messages on the iMac.

  • Mail not showing in inbox window

    Mail prior to April 11 is not showing up in my inbox window. The older mail is in the folder, I can open them from the inbox folder, but cannot get them into the mail list window. Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same issue. No emails after April 21 are showing in the inbox. If I go to the get account info page you can see the emails and it even says they are downloaded, but they are not showing up in the inbox.
    Any suggestions?

  • Yosemite Mail not showing contents of inbox (Exchange 365)

    Since upgrading to Yosemite my Mac mail inbox has been playing up. All the emails are there and show for a minute or two then the view changes and the inbox appears empty, selecting a different inbox (iCloud account, hotmail, Gmail) and going back to the Exchange inbox will make the message visible again. I have tried rebuilding, deleting the account and adding it again but all to no avail. New messages are coming in and all the mail is there it is just that they do not show (or more precise only show for a short period).
    This is the case both on my mid 2012 MBP and my mid 2013 MBA both running Yosemite version 10.10.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Mail not showing mail

    Hi,
    My Mail has been working great.. until i bought an iPhone4.
    I don´t know if this is the reason, but when i synced my iPhone from iTunes my mail account only shows
    NOTES.
    I deleted the mail account (my schools mail, imap) and reconnected the mail accounted. Mail started showing my mail again, after a few days the same thing. only notes.
    interesting is that notes do sync AND the account is showing that new mail has arrived (the blue ball) but no matter where or what I click can I get the account to show my mail.
    Thank you all for any tips or similar problems you can provide discuss. Thank you
    /Daniel Hilli

    summer14, In case you haven't resolved this yet.
    polzbert's solustion is excellent, assuming you have a backup drive using Time Machine. However, did you try rebuilding the inbox? If not, here's how:
    Select the mail box that's giving you trouble in the left pane of Apple Mail. Then choose "rebuild" iunder the Mailbox Menu Item. This has resolved countless mailbox glitches for me in the past.

  • Yahoo Mail not showing up on 3g ios4

    I just picked up the new iPhone and gave my old 3g to my wife. I did a factory restore and upgraded to iOS4. She uses yahoo mail. The mail icon will show that she has email but it can't be seen in the inbox. When she goes online the mail is there. I have deleted the account and set it back up again. After doing that the email shows up for a while and then stops again.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Maybe a setting I missed? Any help is appreciated.

    What do you mean by mail does not show up? You're not receiving any email? What?

  • Mail not showing accounts after ios 7 update on iPhone 5

    After the ios 7 update to my iPhone 5 mail does not show my accounts. Specifically there is nothing below the word Accounts. The rest is working fine and still connected to my three accounts. However it no longer shows accounts.

    thanks for the suggestions, i tried the ideas you suggested but i dont even get a camera showing for the rear camera, i also noticed the torchlight no longer works.  i did all the steps but no luck.
    So I took my camera to the genius bar this weekend as well as walking through various steps with the apple guys in ohio support over the net. 
    With the guys at the genius bar, after i insisted that it must be software as the rear camera stopped working only after the softwre update, they continued to assure me it was hardware and talked me into letting them replace the camera,  they then took it to the back and tried fixing a camera and 30 minutes later came out and said the rear camera is no longer being detected and wanted me to replace the motherboard for yet more money.  im glad they didnt charge me for the new camera though as it still didnt work.
    anyway the motherboard idea i rejected as it was just 2 months out of warranty and had only stopped working the day after the release of 7.0.2, so im going to wait until the next few releases to see what happens, as i dont believe for a second its hardware.  i expected a stock answer from apple and its exactly what i got even after my explanation of how it was working the day before the release.  not overly impressed with the whole process.
    i wanted to back down to 7.0.1 to confirm the camera still works but they said no chance so i cant even see if it still works ouside 7.0.2.  anyway will update if i get any further progress.

  • Unread and read mail not showing in Mail after upgrading to Yosemite

    Hi there,
    I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
    In the Mail app, mail is not showing up properly. I have unread mail, which is not showing up, despite me refreshing or sorting by unread first, and even an email I read this morning on Chrome isn't showing up, as you can see by screenshots.
    How do I fix this issue?

    Hi,
    In Mail > Mailbox dropdown menu, try clicking on Rebuild at the bottom.

  • E-MAILS NOT SHOWING UP

    I had the same issue with the original iPhone (I now have the 3GS). I can be sitting at my computer and receive an e-mail on my PC, however, when I manually (I have Fetch turned-off) attempt to check for mail, it does not show up on my iPhone. Also, sometimes I may receive three or more e-mails (at one time) on my PC, and maybe one or two (but not all) show up on my iPhone. Is this normal? Lastly, I can send myself an e-mail from my PC or iPhone and receive it on my iPhone within seconds.

    How do you get a Yahoo account to even push.
    I do not think that you can get it to push.
    You need another services like ActiveSync with and Exchange server or MobileMe for the push function to work.
    So you need not even turn on push and just set the Fetch frequency to your desired interval or just manualy fetch them.
    How do you connect to your Yahoo account?
    i.e. POP3 or HTTP?
    Either one will not push.
    Here are the features with MobileMe. This will explain it all.
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/
    If you want MobileME you need to purchase this for $99 annually.
    Since Yahoo is a free account is your e-mail that important that you need it pushed to you? Most likely not if you are just using a free Yahoo account. So I think that set frequency to a desired interval or just open your e-mail and force a fetch is the right option.

  • SMTP sent mail not showing up in sent mail folder

    Hello,
    Setup:
    Exchange 2010 SP1
    Outlook 2010
    C# for sending mail, or Pentaho Kettle
    Not really sure how to explain, but I have the following scenario:
    Automatic programs send email using credentials (an active username / password on the domain. account linked to a mail box).
    Mail gets sent.
    Mail does not show up in the sent mail folder of the account
    I was wondering if there was a parameter on the Exchange server to configure so that the email sent via SMTP would show up in the sent mail box of the account.
    Regards,

  • E-mail addresses in Apple Mail not showing up in Apple Contacts (iCloud All Contacts)

    I've been going though my contacts in the Apple Contacts app, which I have set up to use iCloud, deleting old contacts and cleaning up messy ones. And I've noticed there are a lot of e-mail addresses that I have in Apple Mail - I just start to type a few letters in the To: field and they come up - that are nowhere to be seen in the Contacts app.
    Shouldn't these be in my Contacts app? Where else would these contacts be stored? And is there a way to sync them into my iCloud All Contacts or do I have to manually track each one down and add it in the Contacts app?
    Quick edit to add: I've also now noticed that the same applies on my iPhone. E-mail addresses appear in iOS Mail that are not in my iOS Contacts app (I've performed a search to be doubly sure). Where do these contacts live and why are they not in my Contacts apps?

    I do have both of those, but only iCloud shows up in my Contacts sidebar, and addresses are being sent there so I guess it's the default. Funny how this stuff is all so murky.
    Not murky at all:
    And as the On My Mac account does not show then it is empty. (It's visible if it is the default or if it has any content)
    I haven't come across your last point, (no email address) so no help there I'm afraid.
