Incoming mails get stucked

Everytime i start the mail program to get my new mails, the activity bar get stucked at the same spot of incoming mails.
all incoming mails left still the server of my provider (he sees zero mails there). so the 29 new mails are already on the way to my mac and therefore my provider can nothing do for me.
Any hints how to get rid of this bug mail number 2 or 3 of 29 on the way from cyberspace to my mac inbox which make my activity bar stuck ? thanks.

Hi and welcome to the discussions
I am curious about something in your post. If your mail download gets stuck on message 2 of 29, it follows that messages 3 to 29 have still not been downloaded from the mail server so I can't understand how your provider sees zero mails there. You might want to clear that up with him.
Normally my solution to this problem is to go to your ISP's webmail service and manually delete mail no. 2 from the list, and try retrieving your mail again via Mail.app.

My outgoing mail gets stuck???, my outgoing mail gets stuck???

what to do, when your outgoing mail gets stuck in the outbox, the server comes up as offline...grr

I had this problem too but I fixed it today.
Go to the mail menu preferences.
Click on account in question.
Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
Click on the advanced button.
Make sure use default port is checked.
Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
Have authentication set to password.
User name should be your email address for that account.
Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
Push the ok button.
For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
I hope this helps.
Here is a link to some visual aids with the steps from my ISP

Help with e-mail getting stuck in Mail outbox

I recently ran into a problem where all the e-mails I tried to send in Mail got stuck in my outbox and were not sent. After reading posts on the Apple Support Communities website and doing some troubleshooting of my own within Mail, I reached a solution to the problem. When I first realized I could not send e-mail using a certain e-mail account of mine, since all e-mails were getting stuck in the outbox folder, I checked my available servers. I did this by opening the preferences window, clicking on the accounts tab, then clicking on the outgoing server pull-down menu. In the pull-down, I saw that the server I wanted to use was listed as "offline." To fix this problem and get the server back online so that I could send e-mail (as I could with my other account that was not listed as "offline"), I selected the outgoing server pull-down once again. In the menu, I selected "edit server list." On the page that pops up afterward, I highlighted the server I wanted to use. This way, I could see the information associated with the server. With this information in front of me, I realized that for some reason there was no password entered in the password field even though the "Authentication" setting was set to password. I entered my password associated with the e-mail account I was having problems with and "walla." The server was back online. I could send e-mails again without them getting stuck in the outbox!
This problem popped out all of a sudden for me and got me quite frustrated. I hope that this brief walk-through helps out some people out there having a similar issue. Best of luck!

That's one of the best walkthrough's i've read, thankyou!
However, I often have email stuck in the out box. And that's not comfortable… or good for communicating to clients.
In the hope that this may help someone:
Internet Connection Problem
A bit random but I found that by keeping an eye on the networked computers or the Dropbox icon tells me the health of my network or the internet connection that's causing a problem and all of the time, it's the Ethernet.
If networked computers are up and on the internet, but my PM isn't:
Solution:
1) Refresh the DHCP license.
2) Switch off the ethernet under system preferences/network then switch on again to refresh the IP addres.
Every time I do this, I find Apple Mail reconnecting straight away. I don't know why this happens.

Mail gets 'stuck' doing a send & receive

Hi,
Since upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.5, Mail regularly gets 'stuck' doing a send and receive. I have three IMAP mail accounts in Mail: one MobileMe and two GMail. I can't send any mail (messages get stuck in the Outbox). No new mail comes in. I can't Quit Mail. I can only Force Quit Mail (although the Force Quit app does NOT say that Mail is not responding - it thinks everything is OK). I use three Mail plugins: MailActOn, MailTags and Mail Attachments Iconizer. Neither restarting Mail or restarting my Mac helps - Mail just gets stuck again. I know it's an issue with the Mail software because other clients (e.g. Mail on iPhone and iPad) access my IMAP mailboxes just fine.
Here are some screenshots...
First, the Inbox and Sent folders have a continuously spinning wheel:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/310720/spinning.jpg
Second, when I open Mail's Activity Viewer, you can see a whole heap of frozen processes (if I click any of the red "stop signs", they won't stop):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/310720/activity.jpg
Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks,
Greg

After analysing Mail's Activity Viewer messages I thought perhaps Mail was getting stuck when downloading messages from my two POP accounts. I logged into both accounts via webmail and deleted the messages in there. Volia! Mail is now unstuck. This is clearly a serious bug in the program - why should a problem with messages in POP mailboxes cause the entire application (and all IMAP accounts) to freeze?
Cheers,
Greg

Mail gets stuck importing messages from Time Machine when setting up new Lion Macbook Pro

I just used time machine to set up my new 13-in mid-2012 Macbook Pro and am having trouble setting up the Mail application. It opens fine, asks me to import my messages, takes about an hour and a half, then gets stuck at "less than a minute." I then have to cancel out, and restarting causes the whole process to start over.
I've tried deleting the Envelope Index, but that didn't help. I also tried restarting the computer. Hitting "Cancel" instead of "Continue" to try to set up Mail without importing my messages just exits the application.
Any ideas why it hangs at the very end, and how I can avoid this?

Did anyone find a solution here?
This has happened to me after numerous crashes over the years and just did again. Seems to be a recurring problem when dealing with lots of mail messages.
Today, after 3 attempts, it still hangs up on 50,951 of 166,972 (yes there are a lot and for a reason).

Outgoing mail gets stuck in outbox?

Using MacMail. When sending mail, it seems to be getting stuck in the outbox for a long time. It gets sent to "onmymac" rather than the outbox for the particualr mail I'm using.

The solution below was found at: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6351214
It appears to have solved the issue for me.

Re: Mail is getting stuck in my outbox?
in response to Hydro99
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I can't get my I pad to send mail,gets stuck in outbox

My I pad mail won't send, gets stuck in outbox

Yes, i have same problems with Hotmail account, my ipad don't sync the hotmail account, i received the message like...server error, please contact your administrator....and i didn' see the folders and all emails.
The Icloud account and icloud email working in good conditiona, so, i belive that the likn between apple and microsoft is broken.
On Android and windows so, i have exchange config. For hotmail, all is ok, working in good conditions, the hotmail webpage with email is good, working. I have the problem only on ipad, configure from mail-hotmail account, not with exchange servere.
Now, i desactivate the account and activate again, same problems, now i don't see any emails, any folders, nothing to see. Icloud email still working very good, configured on same device.

Mail getting stuck in Outbox

I am using Outlook 2007 and exchange server. When send emails they oftentimes get stuck in the Outbox with a sent date of "None". If I restart outlook and try resending the messages, they will oftentimes go out. I am having to restart outlook 5 times a day right now. Any ideas what would cause emails going out through exchange server to just "get stuck"? Sometimes when I sent the emails and I watch the Outbox folder, the messages will appear in the outbox with a "sent" date, then after a second or so that "Sent" date will just change to "none" and the email just won't go out. Any advice on how to troubleshoot or fix?
One other note...some messages just NEVER go out 9regardless of how many times I hit restart outlook and hit send) and I need to rewrite them by creating a new message and sending and that new message.
NOTE: this appears to happen when I'm in a state where I am "Connected to Microsoft Exchange".

Hello,
I found a solution that worked for me.
See: http://www.slipstick.com/problems/outbox.htm
I followed the suggestions in the article and found that I had an add-in (that I did not need). When I disabled the add-in, my problem was solved.
Text of article follows:
After viewing the Outbox, the messages in it won't send.
If you click on the Outbox while messages are waiting to be sent, the messages are marked as read and won't send.
This is caused by a Net framework add-in you have installed that 'reads' Outlook items, including the Send to OneNote from Outlook PowerToy add-in and BCM (Business Contact Manager). A list of other add-ins known to cause this behavior is listed below.
To send the affected messages, you'll need to open the message, then switch to a different folder before clicking Send on the message. Do not go open the Outbox until after the messages are sent.
To identify the add-in that results in this behavior:
Look in Tools, Options, Other, Advanced, Com add-ins. Disable the add-ins and re-enable them one at a time and test.
Since BCM and possibly other add-ins are not listed in the COM add-in list, check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
Export the keys then change the LoadBehavior value to 0 to disconnect an add-in. Restart Outlook and test.
Applications responsible
The following is a list of some of the applications which are reported to cause message to be marked as read. If you use these or any other add-ins, check for a newer version - newer versions of some of these applications will not cause problems.
ICQExpress (COMAddin), installed as part of ICQ
Business Contact Manager (BCM)
Send to OneNote from Outlook PowerToy
Outlock
Outlook Backup Add-in
Sierra Wireless Outlook Integration - disable in the registry. It's listed at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\SwiOutlookInt.Addin
ONFOLIO
Timeslips add-in
Attensa for Outlook. Check for upgrade: newer versions not affected.
Cisco Meetingplace plug-in
MindJet Mind Manager 6. Disable the add-in in the registry - the key is Mindjet.Mm6OutlookLinker.AddIn.2
Google desktop "search your own computer", specifically because it searches the mail
ScanSoft PDF Converter Outlook Addin
Norton AntiSpam Outlook Plugin
Norton Internet Security
AIM Sync
LinkedIn Outlook Toolbar
Salesforce
Upshot Outlook integration
MS CRM 3.0 Outlook Add-in
Xobni
Auto-Mate
RingCentral Add-in
DesktopSMS.Addin
More Information
If your mail won't send and it's not the problem described above, other possible causes are:
Authentication problems: Are you logging on to the mail server correctly?
No default mail account. If you can reply to messages but not send new message, check the account settings and make sure one is set as default. When you use a configuration script created by your mail provider or import accounts, an account is not always set as default.

Mail gets stuck in apex_mail_queue table

Hi there,
I am trying to send the email using apex_mail.send package.
The email gets sent to the person I am intending to send but some time... Mind you not every time, there are some records that gets stuck in apex_mail_queue and it sends the same email 3 to 4 times.
I don't understand why this is happening!. Please help me with your suggestions..
Thanks
Nayeem

Hi Nayeem,
Are you using an application in apex.oracle.com or a local application? In case it's local, can you tell us what the error message is for the mails that get stuck in apex_mail_queue? (you can take a look at the mail queue using the apex administration services, Manage Instance -> Mail Queue). By the way, if you try to send the same email a number of times and the sending is not successful, the messages remain in the queue as you commented, so when the next time to flush the queue and send the emails comes, if APEX can do it successfully, then it will send all the copies of the emails queued. Perhaps that is the reason why you're getting multiple copies of the same message?
Regards,
Sergio

Mail gets stuck in apex_mail_queue table temporarily

Hi,
I'm using apex version 4.1.0.00.32 on 11gr2 Oracle database. When sending emails using the apex_mail package I get no errors, but emails are 'stuck' in the apex_mail_queue. It takes about 2 -to- 3 hours to actually receive the intended email. Originally I thought this could be ACL or SMTP related error, but don't think so. I tried issuing the below commands after the apex_mail.send call, but is no help.
{code}
   APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE;
   APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE_BACKGROUND;
{code}
The emails are eventually delivered but there seems to be a lag time. This happens Only on one of the Databases instances and works fine on a different instance. I have compared Instance Settings between these two databases and can't notice anything. Can't really figure out why ?
{code}
BEGIN
   wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id (XYZ);
   apex_mail.send (
      p_to          =>   '[email protected]',
      p_from        => '[email protected]',
      p_body        => 'Send email from Apex',
      p_body_html   => 'Send email from Apex',
      p_subj        => 'Send email from Apex',
      p_cc          => '',
      p_bcc         => ''
   APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE;
   APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE_BACKGROUND;
   COMMIT;
END;
{code}
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks,
Prashanth

Jari,
I have commented out the call to PUSH_QUEUE_BACKGROUND, but problem still exists.
Emails are sent when I run the UTL_SMTP package, but not with APEX_MAIL package. I was assuming APEX_MAIL is just a wrapper around UTL_SMTP Package but it doesn't appear to be the case. As a result all our IR report subscriptions are stuck in the Mail queue and not being delivered at all. As I've mentioned before the issue is Only with one of the Database instances, it works fine in other but I've the problem just with one instance.
I verified all the Instance settings logging in as Apex Administrator but really can't figure out what the issue here is. Appreciate any help !!
Thanks!

No POP3 incoming mail getting through to Thunderbi...

I'm posting at the end of my tether here because I can see that other people have had similar problems and none of them seem to be resolved consistently...
So OK - this is what happened. I have Windows 7 64-bit Home Edition and I've used Thunderbird perfectly happily with it for 18 months with v. few problems until I had to reconfigure a profile on the PC about 3 weeks ago and since then the mail.btinternet.com server is refusing to download into either of the 2 profiles we have.
The error message - An error occurred with POP3 mail server. Mail server mail.btinternet.com responded:
No problem with the same server for outgoing SMTP - that goes out quite happily and I just KNOW somebody's going to say that they've got the same problem...
I have been through the support call centre with and without remote assistance, the Mozilla support forum, downloaded every free compatible email client going and the only thing that will get mail through the POP as specified in all the help tutorials and FAQs is WindowsLive which I do not want to use because it's webmail and I want to use a client to keep my mail on my PC not online and certainly not in yet another online location...
So is there an answer out there? You're my last port of call before I book into the funny farm because this is seriously driving me nuts now
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for that Ian - will try that out later.
It's definitely not the configuration as this was the account that BT support tried to troubleshoot remotely, so it's not just me being a clutz for once - lol
Apart from that the only other thing I think I can try now is to skip out my Inbox and see if that frees things up somewhat - looks like my weekend's gonna be full of challenge and determination

Outgoing mail gets stuck in my Mail program...

I was sending a photo file to someone when I realized that it was larger than I had intended it to be (about 6MB) and so I deleted it from the outbox while it was in mid-send. Now, whenever I send an email, it just goes to the outbox and stays there, stuck. Is the large photo file clogging the way or something?? How do I clear up my outgoing mail route?
Help :P

You would be better posting your query in the Mail application forum...

This one is for the mail services part of OS X Server - so folk do not necessarily know the ins and out of the Mail client.

Why is my sent mail getting stuck in outbox and not sending?

I have tried rebooting, Closing the mail application, And deleting my iCloud account from my phone. Messages do not get sent , mail says "sending" for awhile and then they appear in my outbox with the error exclamation icon. Tapping icon gives a menu saying connection to outgoing sever failed.

Are you still using iOS 7.0.3 as stated in your profile? if so, update to 7.1. If already on 7.1:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Delete and re-enter your iCloud account.

Mail gets stuck sending mail

I use Apple Mail on 3 different machines plus an iPhone. All the Macs are running Mavericks, and the phone is on the latest OS. My mail is a standard IMAP account. All my mail accessing (reading, sending, sorting, etc.) works perfectly on all devices except for my office computer:
On my office computer, when I send a standard mail with no attachment, it works perfectly. When I send a mail with an attachment, it stays in the Outbox for 30+ minutes, during which time no other mail is received. It's like the thing is jammed. After the 30+ minutes, the Outbox disappears, and Mail goes and receives all the mail that was received in those 30 minutes.
Having lived with this for a couple of months now, I have also learned that the mail in question is usually sent quickly (within 30 seconds) -- my recipients tell me they receive it. It's something *after* the mail is being sent that is jamming it up.
I opened up Mail's activity window, which shows several things going on, such as "updating cache directory" and "archiving copy to mailbox 'Sent Messages'" and "Copying 2 messages." I'm not sure which of these is causing the stuck-ness.
I've tried rebuilding the inbox, drafts, and sent mailboxes. This hasn't solved it.
This happened in 10.8 and is still happening in 10.9. Only on the office machine.
Does anyone know how to completely reset mail? Remove EVERYTHING about it and re-sync the whole thing from scratch? (Because my mail is IMAP this shouldn't cause any loss of mail.) I think it'd be best if I also remove all the Mail prefs too.

Looks like a configuration problem with your mail server. JavaMail did its job and got the
message to the mail server. Now it's up to the mail server to deliver it. Talk to your server
administrator.
Also, you could try authenticating to the mail server to see if that helps. See the JavaMail FAQ.

Yahoo mail gets stuck on upgrade page

The i mac desk top I use has a problem when I attempt to get my e mail on yahoo. Once I'm signed in to my account I attempt to read my e mail and a upgrade page pops up. No matter what I click on there is no response. How do I get past this page?

What do you mean with what solution I am looking for?
Whether you wanted to be able to open and manage those messages in Mail, or just being able to ignore them in Mail so that they do not interfere with other Mail activities. If the former, and if the problem happens when the messages are stored locally, I don't know what to do about it.
Do you think it would be a solution to create an Automator
or apple-script that saves the mail to my desktop when it
is received, where I can open it with textmate or another
editor that can handle files of this size?
Yes, I was considering something along those lines. Actually, you could just move them to a separate custom local mailbox, and open the *.emlx messages (stored in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/MailboxName.mbox/Messages/) directly in any text editor.
