Incoming mail of one account doesn't appear in inbox

Even though mail tells me that by now more than 30 messages have come in,I can't see anything in the inbox. Probably I have managed to trash something i shouldn't, but what?
I use three accounts, and of two accounts the incoming mails are visible, but my main account is not.
I have tried to throw away some preferences, I've been reentering all the account information, but it didn't work. Nothing appears in the inbox of this one account.
(Now I started to use thunderbird, and I can read my incoming mail. But I'm quite used to my mail configuration, and i like it.)
Who can help???

Is your main account a POP type account?
If so, using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account).
Confirm there is an INBOX.mbox named folder as shown.

  • How do I get incoming mail in one of my mailboxes unstuck.  It will not download any mail in one box but the other mailbox works fine

    How do I get incoming mail in one of my mailboxes unstuck??  It is trying to download it but seems jammed.  The other mailbox is working fine.  I know there is mail there because it is coming into my bb.  This just started this morning.  I took someone's suggestion and duplicated my mail from the library and I then put com.apple.mail.plist on my desktop.  I was unable to delete the incoming mail from the mailbox however so don't know what to do.
    Help?

    Try this: If this is Apple Mail, select the Mailbox, then from the Mail Menu>Mailbox>Rebuild.

    i have four accounts on my mail application. but whenever i send a mail from one account, it goes through other account.

    Look at Mail / Accounts, then choose the Account icon. See if the Outgoing server box is set to the correct entry for each of your accounts.

  • HT6065 I have unresolved issues with Mavericks mail. When receiving identical emails in different accounts if I open in one account it automatically appears as open in the other accounts.

    I have 3 email accounts on my mac. Often more than one account will receive the same email. If I open the email on any one account it appears as opened on each account that received the identical email. This problem only began with the installation of Mavericks. I have contacted Apple phone support and removed each account and then added them again. The problem persists. I have talked with several other friends who have the same complaint. This is particularly annoying as these accounts have different users. Is there a fix? Thanks.

  • Can you move mail from one account to another?

    I Use Bellsouth as my ISP. As other Posters have noted they are one of the ISPs that won't accept outgoing mail when you are on the Edge Network (even more frustrating since they are owned by AT&T!). When I go out, I have to change my outgoing mail server to cwmx.com which allows me to send messages and reply to e-mails over the Edge network or random Wi-Fis I pick up.
    However, cwmx.com doesn't work over my home network...I have to reinsert mail.bellsouth.net:25 in the outgoing server. It is a real pain.
    So, I also have a G-mail account. I thought if while I was out, and I went to iPhone/settings/mail/default account, I could select G-mail as the default and I could respond to e-mails that came in on my Bellsouth account via G-mail. Not so fast, Kemosabe!
    So, does anyone know a way to move an incoming message from one email account to another on the iPhone so you can reply using a different account?
    Just as an anecdotal observation, seems like Apple's iPhone partner, AT&T and all of it's children could give less than two hoots about Apple, Safari, etc. They seem pretty stuck in the PC world.

    Formally I always used my ISP's email account as my primary account and when moving or if deciding to change ISPs (I moved twice within a two year period of time), this required changing my email address so I switched my primary email account to a .Mac account so my ISP doesn't matter. It has an authenticated SMTP server so I can send messages with my account regardless which ISP I'm using for my internet access.
    A Gmail account would provide the same for you, is free and can be accessed as a POP account or IMAP account with any email client on your computer and with the iPhone's email client. An IMAP account would also provide for keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized between both email clients used and the ability to save Sent messages on the server with both so sending a message with the iPhone's email client will be available in the account's Sent mailbox with the email client used on your computer automatically and vice-versa. You can also create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for storing received or sent messages by by category and these additional server stored mailboxes will be available with the iPhone's email client automatically.
    This is not possible with a POP account and BellSouth provides POP account access only.
    I understand it is a pain to change your email address but with the combined benefits of a Gmail account which is free and has a good spam filter on the server, I think you should give this some serious consideration.

  • Mail read on iPhone doesn't appear in Mail on the Mac

    This is probably a newbie issue, but I can't find any way to resolve it in FAQs etc.
    When my wife opens and reads an email message on her iPhone, that message then does not appear in her inbox on our Mac.
    Can anyone tell me how to resolve this?
    Is it a matter of setting up the mail account separately on the iPhone.
    Many thanks for any advice.
    Scott

    Reading a recieved message with a POP account with one email client by itself does not prevent the message from being downloaded and read with another email client. The iPhone's Mail client does not include an option for removing messages from the server when downloaded with a POP account as is available with an email client on your computer such as the Mail.app.
    A problem with a POP account is only one email client at a time can access the incoming mail server for new messages and download any new messages. If a 2nd email client attempts to do this while another email client is doing the same, the 2nd email client will be temporarily locked out by the incoming mail server.

  • Mail not receiving incoming mail from gmail account

    I have an imac with 10.5 that has suddenly stopped accepting email in one of my gmail accounts, but still gets it from another. I synched my imac with my ibook earlier today. The ibook has the same problem accepts mail from the account that the imac doesn't etc.
    Any help solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Did you select “Directory Management Service” option, if so, please make sure you configure the Central Administration application pool identity account to have the Create, delete, and manage user accounts right to the container that you specify in Active Directory.
    Did you install Exchange server 2003 in your MOSS environment? If so, you should add an SMTP connector in Exchange Server, if you don’t know how to do that, you can post your issue into the following forum:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdeploy/threads
    Also, please check whether your configuration meet the following requirements, If not, correct them and check the effect.
    ·         The application pool account for Central Administration, the logon account for the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service, and the application pool accounts for your Web applications should have the correct permissions to the e-mail drop folder.
    ·         The domain controller running Active Directory has a Mail Exchanger (MX) entry in DNS Manager for the mail server that you plan to use for incoming e-mail.
    For more information about how to configure incoming e-mail settings, please refer to the following article:

  • IPhone 3 refuses to download mail from one account

    I have four mail accounts on my iPhone 3 and just one of them refuses to download emails. I get the messaage 'Downloading 1 of 25' but nothing happens. My Macbook & iPad work fine with all accounts. Restoring the iPhone has not worked. Any suggestions as to how tp solve this much appreciated.

    Assuming she’s supposed to be able to send from that address with that outgoing server and that the outgoing server settings are correct (which I don’t know), here are some things that may be worth looking at.
    Mail keeps information about outgoing (SMTP) servers in a separate list independently of the mail accounts themselves. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Deleting an account doesn’t remove from the list the outgoing server that was associated with it. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there — the Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
    If the problem persists and you have more than one mail account, try moving the account that has the problem to the top of the list in Preferences > Accounts.
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
    Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible (i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc.), or shutting down both the computer and the router/modem used to connect to Internet, restarting, and see whether that makes a difference.

  • How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

    I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • My incoming mail user .wav file doesn't play for incoming mails. It does work on local test.

    I have windows 7 Professional PC and use Mozilla Thunderbird 24.4.0 as my email account. I have a local .wav music file for incoming mail which tests OK, but when a new mail arrives it doesn't play. I have all the boxes ticked in the settings. Can anyone help please?

    An update on local .wav sound file for incoming TB mail messages.
    Driver Booster found outdated drivers and all have been updated.
    Sound device has been removed from the device manager and automatically re-installed.
    From advice given I have turned mail.imap.use_status_for_biff to "false".
    Still no sound from my local .wav file. Is my problem unique? Is 2.74 MB too large as a sound file?

  • Trying to limit number of emails showing but when I go to "mail, contacts, calendars", "show" doesn't appear as an option.  What now?

    Suddenly I have over 300 emails appearing on my ipad2.  I know you are supposed to be able to change that by going to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", then select "Show".  Well, when I do that, "Show" doesn't appear as an option.  Any thoughts on how I get "Show" back?

    Tap the blue + sign in the upper right corner of the Safari toolbar to open a new tab. Then look in the lower left portion of the screen for the word "Private". Tap that to turn off private browsing.

  • Migrate Mail from one account to another

    Hi People,
    I was wondering how I can migrate all my mail data from one user to another.
    I want to consolidate two users into one (the user to which i want to migrate to, does not have mail set up) then delete the old user account.
    Is there a process for this? Or is it a case of just copying the mail data folder between users?
    Thanks.

    quit mail on both accounts and copy the file /users/username1/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and the entire folder /users/username1/library/mail to the corresponding locations for user2. start Mail on user2 and it will look like it did on user1.

  • I want to bcc myself when sending mail from one account but not another. When I check "automatically bcc myself", it bcc's me from both accounts.  Can I set this to work with only one account?

    I have two mail accounts on my Mac.  I want one account to bcc me when I send emails from that account.  I checked "automatically bcc myself" under mail>preferences>composing, but both accounts bcc me when sending mail.  Can I set this to only bcc myself from one specific email account? Thanks.

    It does not make sense that your ssh does not have a dash capital Y (-Y) option. It is in "man ssh", and my 10.6.6 has the -Y option, and I've had a -Y option since at least Tiger (10.4) days.
    My ssh is in /usr/bin/ssh
    I'm not very good at X11 issues, so I'm just throwing ideas out there.
    Does your broken account have a $HOME/.ssh/config file, and if so, what is in it?
    Does the broken account have any $HOME/.x* or $HOME/.X* files that X11 might be reading to configure your X11 behavior differently from the new test account?
    $HOME/.Xauthority
    $HOME/.Xdefaults-<hostname>
    $HOME/.Xresources
    $HOME/.ICEauthority
    $HOME/.keymap.km
    The above are a few names I found looking through "man X"
    While I'm thinking about it, I assume that when going to the server, you are using the exact same user account on the server, so that you have a constant at least at that end.
    Have you tried trashing your
    $HOME/Library/Preferences/org.x.X11.plist
    file, to see if that is affecting the broken account?
    Again, I am just throwing out ideas to see if anything sticks.

  • Two mail clients: One account

    I have a problem:
    I have a private mail account (i mean, not gmail, or hotmail or anything)... and i access it from two clients in two different machines (i don't want to use the webmail interface)
    The problem is that, obviously, if i download a mail in one client, it won't be downloaded from the other one... unless i enable the option to keep a copy on the mail server.
    Big problem is the quota: I receive lots of attached files by mail, and if i don't access it for, lets say, a week, the quota will reach its top and i would stop receiving mails.
    I thought about a solution that i want to ask you guys if is possible to do:
    Install a mail server on my company that retrieves the mails from the external mail box and stores them.. so, when i connect from the two clients, i do it against this local mail server.... and never delete the mails from it...
    I don't really know where to start from or even if this is possible..... any suggestions?
    Thank you!!

    Retrieve your mails using getmail or something and run an IMAP server using dovecot. For multi-access you eventually want imap anyway. offlineimap is a good option for doing IMAP with a full local copy (you could exclude an 'archive' folder if storage on your client machines is tight).
    You could also set up a gmail account which accesses your private mail account (gmail allows retrieving mail that way), which would do the same thing you're trying to do (in my example, it replaces getmail and dovecot). Then just use the free IMAP option. Of course, then google gets to see your emails...
