Incoming mail not showing up in Mail

I converted over to a Mac Mini running Montian Lion. I also have an older Power Book (the reason for my upgrade since it could nor un Mountain Lion or properly use iCloud) and a first generation iPad.
I can receive but I cannot send and get the message - try another server
I am pretty sure that the mail program is corrupted  My PowerBook on Snow Leopard and my iPad both work
I also tried rebuilding the mailboxes  - to no avail
Hoiw do I reload my Mountina Lion or  the Mail part...  Mountina Lion  came with my purchase of the Mac Mini
Alternatively should I install Maverick?

Per the troubleshooting article I posted, try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Rebuild mailbox
I have no idea if this will work, but it won't hurt anything.
In Snow Leopard, you can use iCloud for some things, such as Mail and Calendars.

  • Mail not showing up under mail icon

    My email is not showing up when I select the mail icon on my phone. Just shows a white or sometimes clear screen. The phone is picking up new mail, when there is new mail the number by the mail icon will change.

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

  • BCC myself but sent mail not showing up in Mail

    I have a BlackBerry. There is a setting where you can BCC an address for mail sent from the BlackBerry so you can have a copy of what you sent on your regular mail client. I've had this configured and it worked flawlessly with other POP3 mail clients I've used. Basically, the sent mail would be retrieved via POP3 as a regular message with the "from" and "to" fields intact. This is fine, and I don't care about being able to see "BCC" recipients. My problem is that Mail seems to be recognizing that the "from" address is the same as the "BCC" address and is getting rid of those messages for me, or ignoring them on the POP server. I thought of a few things, but none seem to be true -- My spam filter (SpamSieve) is not detecting the messages as spam. I also thought that perhaps Mail is doing something nifty like automatically moving the mail into sent folders. However, that's not true either. I also did a few different searches to see if my sent messages had come down somewhere and I was just missing them.
    So now I'm stumped. Is Mail making decisions for me behind the scenes? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Bmoua,
    What client did she use on the temporary computer? Outlook or outlook app or OWA?
    If she used outlook, it may download the sent messages to the local pst.
    In addition, I also recommend you use message tracking log to check if there are any messages had been sent out when she used temporary computer.

  • Messages located in sub folders do not show in iPad Mail

    Using iPad mail with Microsoft Exchange sync works great at the inbox level but any messages that are in sub folders do not show up in Mail on the iPad. All of the sub folders show up but do not show messages. In addition, I am not able to collapse the parent folders, the result is a very long list of empty folders. The exception is emails that I move to the folders on the iPad do show up if the folder is selected on the iPad. Looking for solution.

    Has anyone else noticed the following?
    I've synchronized with Exchange and am noticing some odd mail behaviour:
    - I have folders in my PC Outlook inbox
    - when I have mail open on my ipad, and a new message comes in, if I happen to be an a subfolder (example a special folder for messages from my boss or whatever) all the new mail goes to that folder instead of the inbox.
    - even weirder, it stays there when I go back to my PC and Outlook.
    Not very useful long term since I end up with seriously misfiled mail...

  • 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

  • Mail not showing all IMAP folders

    Hi all -
    I use Mail at work, and we have an extensive folder structure on our IMAP server.
    Some of the folders are not showing up on Mail, even though they do on other mail clients like Thunderbird, etc.
    Thunderbird has a "subscribe" feature, but I do not see any such feature on Mail.
    How can I get Mail to see these folders?

    Since my update to 10.5.2 I have the same problem with some .mac folders. I can see them online, I can see them in Thunderbird, but not in Mail. I really hope that someone has the solution, because this is more than annoying as I have an integrated worklflow with Mail, iCal etc...
    By the way, I freshly set up the .mac account several times, evenunder another (new) account, but to no avail.

  • 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!

  • When pasting from Excell the table border is not showing in Yahoo mail

    Dear Sir/Madam
    I am mis execitive , preparing the reports in Excell and sending it through email. But when i paste something from Ms excell , the table borders lines is not showing in Yahoo mail.
    Please help

    Dear All ,
    Even I got annoyed due to this stupid thing ,
    Let me share you how i worked around this ,
    (1)Once you copied the table from Excel or Open office Calc, to thunderbird mail , It will appear the table with dotted line.
    (2)Now you have to double click in any single cell it will prompt the ‘Table properties’ box .
    (3)Now click on ‘Table ’ tab and under ‘Borders and Spacing’ Section set ‘Border’ ‘1’ instead of ‘0 ‘
    That’s it ... it will show you the border lines of table copied from source file 

  • Double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail

    double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail unless I go to forward or reply. In other words, I may see a couple sentences, then it's just blank, no scroll bar either. This gets annoying. Anybody else get this or know how to overcome this?

    Well, there is no such thing as an AOL type account in Mail. Such an account must be set up as either POP or IMAP. Nevertheless, knowing that the ISP for one of the accounts is AOL is useful because it seems that other people also have this problem with AOL -- see Chuck Coulson's and smackwell's posts in this thread.
    I don't think I'll be able to help you with the AOL account other than telling you to try rebuilding the mailbox -- select the mailbox and choose Rebuild from the Mailbox menu. Have you tried that?
    The problem shouldn't happen with the POP account, however. Do you experience the same problem with it as well?

  • TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only  the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
    ...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
    Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

  • 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!

    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?
