IOS4 doesn't update new Mail messages

since the upgrade, I notice Mail during the day stops getting new mail pushed to it unless I restart.
annoying and confusing... if I don't pay attention I don't get new mail.
My push settings are the same... happens both for my regular email and my Xchange email.

I am having the same exact issue. After upgrading to iOS 4.0.1/2. I have to remember to reboot so get new email. After rebooting, it will work for about 30 minutes and then it will hang to indicate "connecting". The worst thing is I learned that the emails i have sent were not delivered. This is very frustrating. I have 4 email accounts (exchange, comcast, yahoo and gmail) having the same problem.
Please help!!!

  • New mail message, tab to body doesn't work

    I have an Automator app. on my desktop that jsut creates a new mail message. It does not pre-fill any information, just a new, blank mail message.
    The problem is, I can type the recipients address, tab to the Subject and type that. Then, when I try to tab to the message area or body, it just highlights the Subject and will not tab forward.
    Any ideas?

    The bug affects all applications that interact with Mail by way of Apple Events. Such apps as iPhoto, Automator, and AppleScript all use Apple Events to compose the buggy message. Until Mail's AE behavior is fixed, the only things I can offer are workarounds.
    The previous script merely emulates user input instead of sending Apple Events. This is a bit of a kludge, and on second read a more precise solution would have been to invoke a blank mailto link:
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">open location "mailto:"</pre>A workaround for your iPhoto-to-Mail bridge would be very difficult to conjure (if it's even possible) and unreliable at best. :\

  • HT5361 When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose "  button is gone. What have I done wrong?

    When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose "  button is gone. What have I done wrong?

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

  • Why does pages 09 keep opening a new mail message

    I'm using pages 09 now (was using 08; tried the new 5.0 but it is useless based on backward compatability)
    When I click on a name in a document it immediately opens a new email message with To as the contact  I clicked on. I've tried turning off all the auto complete, etc I can find but it still happens.
    Specifically,
    if I go to the footer, the next time I land on a name in the body of the document it opens up a new email.
    Once I close the mail message I can continue typing, editing etc.; but the moment I go to the footer and then return to the text box it jumps to a new mail message when I click on a name.
    How do I turn this off?
    George O.

    More on this and a correction-
    there is a part of this document outined in blue- whenever I go into this part from the footer it initiates an email to me;  it doesn't matter where I click. My earlier question said when I click on a name this happens; but actually anywhere in the outlined area.
    some of the document does not have thin blue outlines; when I go there I'm ok- no new email.
    so, what are the blue lines about?
    and why does it send me an email when I move into the outlined area?
    thanks for any help !

  • Opening new Mail message in the main window

    Hello,
    When I get a new mail message notification banner in the right top corner of the screen and click on it, this message is opened in a popup window. I want it to be opened in the main window, like it does when you click on a message if you are already in the Mail app.
    Is this possible? I can't find any option to change this in System Preferences or Mail settings.
    Thanks!

    If the Mail app is frozen then have you tried closing the app via the iPad's multitasking bar and seeing if it works properly when you re-open Mail ?
    iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Mail app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Fetch new mail messages does not work

    On my notebook the fetch new mail messages does not work
    Settings:
    - Fetch new messages:     every minute
    - Play sound Purr
    I need to us the manual button.
    On my imac it works fine with the same accounts

    My mail sounds are all screwed up. I hear the plane fly when I send an email but when I receive mail, no sound. I have rules set up which worked in Tiger. One rule is for mail to play a message "You have a message from "John Doe" when I receive an email from "John Doe" but it only plays when I send "John Doe" and email. Assbackwards.
    Sometimes when reading new mail, it just disappears. I have to click on it again. I find this version of email to be very flaky!

  • Can't close new mail messages

    If I create a new mail message and then decide I want to close it, Mail won’t let me do that. I click on the red circle in the top left corner, nothing. I type cmd/W, nothing. I select File/Close from the menu, nothing. Only way I can get rid of it is to quit Mail, and half the time I have to force quit by this point to get the app to actually close. So far, everything else in Mail seems to be working fine with Snow Leopard.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    Ok, some more feedback. Just tried doing another reinstall of Snow Leopard. Figured maybe that would do the trick. No dice, still getting this goofy Mail behavior.
    Upgraded my wife’s laptop, no Mail problems at all.
    This is driving me nuts. Not being able to save a mail to the Drafts folder is a real problem, and not being able to close a new message after opening it is a major hassle.
    FYI, I can open a received email and then close it, no problem. Just can’t close emails I've created to send. Sure hoping this is resolvable and that I'm not just having to live with this until 10.7.

  • Mac Mail doesn't display new Yahoo messages

    Mail application on my Mini was somewhat erratic so I did the usual trick of removing "com.apple.mail.plist" and restart application. Now all my accounts are working as they should be except Yahoo.
    I deleted and added Yahoo account twice, the settings are OK but I can't see my new messages for this particular account. (IMAP)
    Yahoo account is working. I can send and receive from my iPhone and iPad.
    Mail displays the folders on Yahoo server.
    I can see the "Sent" messages.
    At the bottom left of the sidebar, I can see incomiing messages but once they are retrieved no new messages are in the Inbox.
    Can someone please help?

    I checked email several minutes ago.  Activity Monitor now shows it as using 0% of CPU time.  When that's the case it's now using any power at all.  Every so often it will "wake up" to check for new mail.  When that happens it will briefly use some CPU power.  That interval can be controlled with the setting for "Check for new messages" in the General panel of Mail's preferences.
    You didn't ask about RAM, but when Mail is idle I'd expect it put minimal demands on RAM.

  • Copy file names into New Mail Message?

    *I've been slowly teaching myself Applescript, and can't seem to find a way to do a few things. Basically what I'm trying to do is set up a script that will run when items are dropped into a folder on my FTP.

I have these 2 parts down, but I would also like the body of the email to include a list of the filenames. This part I can't figure out.*

  • Inbox Doesn't Show New Mail Until I Click Out of Inbox and Click Back In

    Hello, I originally posted this in the Microsoft Community, but I was told to post here instead. HELP!!! Nobody I know seems to have an answer for this.
    I have Outlook 2010 connected to Exchange (work email). Whenever I get new mail, I have to click out of the Inbox and then click back in, in order to see and open my new mail. I do receive the pop-up notification in the lower right hand corner, and
    I receive the "(1)" notification next to "Inbox" on the left side menu (that's how I know when I have new mail), but no actual email shows in the Reading/Window Pane. It's like I have to refresh my Inbox.
    The problem does not exist with any of my Inbox subfolders - only the Inbox itself.
    When I had my department help desk remote in, the problem ceased (making me sound crazy), but when the technician logged off remote access, boom, the problem was back.
    I've searched the internet, contacted my help desk multiple times, and deleted and re-created my Outlook profile, but nothing has worked so far.
    Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated, as this problem is a pain!

    Hi,
    Please check whether you can see the items in your Inbox using Online mode or Outlook Web Access or Outlook Web App (OWA). If you just cannot see them in your Cached mode profile, please start Outlook using the following command-line (Click
    Start and then click Run) to have a try:
    Outlook.exe /cleanips
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2330226
    If it doesn’t work, please change a new computer to have a try.
    Thanks,

  • Outlook 2013 client doesn't sync new mails but syncs after restarting outlook

    Hi Experts,

    Hi,
    Since there is no sync synchronization issue on mobile device and OWA, it is highly possible of outlook client issue.
    Make sure outlook client is the latest version.
    Please disable the security AVG/Firewall, especially the mail scanner module to check whether this issue persists.
    Run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    Please run scanost.exe to fix the .pst file to test the result:

  • Does my iMac check for new Mail messages while asleep?

    The Energy Saver settings on my iMac are to sleep the display after 15 mins. and the computer after 20 mins. and I do check "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep whenever possible."
    Two questions:
    1. *Is permitting my hard disks to sleep helpful or harmful to my iMac in the long run?* I care less about energy costs than the long-term health of my computer. So what's worse: spinning the hard disks down (causing wear and tear) or constantly exerting the disks by never letting them rest?
    2. This is the key question for me at this moment: *while asleep, does my iMac retrieve new email messages?* This is an issue because I have a number of Rules I've setup within Mail on my iMac that move messages to certain folders. So if the iMac is asleep while I'm out and about, these messages clog up the inbox on my iPhone's Mail app until I come home and wake the computer (I have a gmail IMAP account). Also, does checking the option to put the hard disk to sleep affect my iMac's behavior in retrieving email while the machine is asleep?
    I'd appreciate any clarification.
    Grant

    1) There are lots of arguments about all kinds of esoteric questions and whether you should spin down the drive or not sounds like a good candidate. Drives do die of course, but in the greater scheme of things you and I are more likely to either replace the drive for something larger or replace the computer before that drive dies.
    2) If your computer is asleep it cannot check for mail or do anything else for that matter. End of story. Assuming you have broadband, when you restart/wake your computer it may appear that mail has been accessed while the computer was asleep but that's because your mail application probably checks as soon as the computer was awakened/restarted.

  • IPhone (iOS 5) doesn't play New Mail tone

    iPhone 4, iOS 5
    For some reason, the New Mail tone has stopped working on the phone. It works on the iPad (1) with iOS5.
    Didn't change anything, it seems to have just stopped.
    I've tried (1) restoring the phone as a "new phone", (2) resetting the phone, etc. etc.
    The setting is in Settings > Sounds > New Mail > Bell
    doesn't matter what it's on, it doesn't work.
    I'm at a loss.

    iOS 5 should have compatibility with docking stations... you may try doing a restore, or, as a last resort getting a replacement.

  • New mail messages will not show on my iPhone until I open mail...

    I am on the 1st gen iPhone and no new mail will show up from the home screen (with the little red bubble) until mail is actually opened, and then it checks for mail. For some reason it will not automatically check. Very annoying.
    I did a reset by holding the home and top button. No changes. I then restored it. No changes. I am at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    No, I know for fact that it should check or "fetch" every 15 minutes to see if there is any new mail on all accounts that are not pushed. If they are pushed it should be more immediate.
