IOS7 New Mail Won't Download

Hi,
I recently upgraded my 4s and iPad to IOS7, when I did it stopped downloading messages from my mail server. I have a SmarterMail email server that I get my emails from, however since the update it only checks the messages, but won't display them. I also have a badge icon that says the number of emails I had at the time of upgrading and it hasn't updated since.
I have tried searching for anyone else experiencing this issue but the closest I found was the bug where it sets your emails to unread. I don't have that problem, my problem is that I can't get to my emails at all through the app.
Any ideas on how this is happening? I did not change any of my connection settings prior or after the upgrade as all was working fine prior to that point. The same problem exists on my iPad as well as my iPhone for messages on the SmarterMail server.
I don't want to blame the mail server, as it worked perfectly up until the iOS 7 update.

I managed to get everything working again. Here are the steps I took to correct it.
1. Logged into my webmail
2. Created a new folder
3. Moved all of the emails from my inbox (6000+) into the new folder
4. Re-checked my email on my phone and iPad
Everything then disappeared and my inbox was working again, I sent myself a test message and it appeared on both devices ok. I didn't try to move my emails back into my inbox as I don't need them there, but for me those steps seems to have made it work again. I don't know why, but it's working...

    On the left, you should have a list of keychains and categories. If not, Select Show Keychains from the View menu.
    Select the login keychain and All Items in the Category.
    In the search field, type something that will help find your  account keychains, like "gmail."
    Select the keychain for your email account password and delete it.

  • Mail won't download from server

    I downloaded the new software on my iPhone 4 and installed it.  Now my yahoo mail won't download from the server.  I rebooted, deleted the mail account and reinstalled, and restored the software too.  Any ideas?

    Not knowing what’s really going on here, and since re-creating Envelope Index apparently didn’t work, you may try setting up Mail again from scratch, as follows:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/. Move (not copy) the entire Mail folder out of there, to the Desktop.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop.
    4. Open Mail and set it up again from scratch. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and check that everything works fine.
    You’ll have to re-configure all your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    5. If Mail works fine now, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import your mail from the old Mail folder that’s now on the Desktop. Import the Mailboxes folder first, then each of the POP-username@mailserver account folders.
    As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated now. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that may help to fix that.
    Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you wish and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • I keep getting a message "The MobileMe IMAP server ... rejected the password for ...."  I can use that password when I go to iCloud, but my e-mails won't download to my computer.  What's the mix-up?

    If the setting is greyed out perhaps you have restrictions enabled that would prevent someone from changing accounts. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts.

    A few more details please.

    Does it show up in iTunes?

  • Mail Won't Download New Mail!

    I got a new powerbook in December and everything worked wonderfully. I set up my mail account and it work just as it should. However, when I left home (florida) and went back to college (virginia) and tried to open up mail, it was no longer downloading new mail! It gave an error message and it related it to the network connection or something...so after longtime frustration I just deleted the account thinking that if I did, I could just make the same account again and all would be well.
    NOT THE CASE!
    So, I've looked at countless tutorials thinking that I may have entered the wrong information in the different fields and followed step by step all the information in each field. Nothing seems to work. It will let me add my account as IMAP gmail and all the rest but not as POP but I dont really think this is the problem because either way no mail is bringing brought to my inbox. what can I do? I think that it may have to do with my university's firewall that may be blocking it someway. Is there anyway to by pass this to get some mail!!!
    PLEASE HELP

    Try removing the account from Mail and rentering it as a new account.

  • Mail app - new account won't download all the messages

    Hi,
    I setup a new email account on Mail and it downloaded 250 of my emails, but then it stops at March 23rd. If I log onto yahoo, all the new emails are there and it was working fine when I was using Thunderbird.
    In fact, under mail activity, if I click on get mail it says it's downloading 161 more emails, but it never displays in the inbox. And if I click on the Get Info for that mailbox, it actually shows all my new emails under "Messages on Server".
    Is there a way to get the messages to be retrieved under the inbox? I've tried deleting the account and re-adding it, but it keeps stopping at the same date. I've also added two other email accounts and those downloaded fine (also POP accounts).

    Hi, Welcome!
    Someone in the 10.5 Mail forum would be more able to help you.

  • Mail won't download any new messages.

    Updated to 10.6.2 recently.
    Today I have noticed that mail, although checking for new mail, doesn't show any new messages. This despite the ping sounding off to indicate new mail.
    The only way to see any new messages is to shut mail down and open it back up.

    Try this - find the /Library/Preferences folder in your user/Home folder and then locate and delete this file:
    com.apple.mail.plist
    *Caution* - doing this may clear your account settings to be sure to note those first in the event you are required to reconfigure, etc.

  • Mail won't download since 26th Sept

    Hi,
    I have 3 email accounts all with yahoo but one of these accounts won't download new email since the 26th Sept. I can't see anything different to the other accounts. I know there is new mail as I am receiving it on my iphone and can see it through the yahoo mail browser.
    I created a new account in mail with the problem yahoo account details and it replicated all of the emails except those since the 26th Sept basically giving me the same result as the original account in mail.
    There are no error messages and it looks as if it is checking periodically for new mail as I would expect. I have no problems sending mail.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks in advance...

    I haven't been able to use mail since I got this new G5 with 10.5.5 loaded.
    In short, Apple took a perfectly good program (Mail) and loaded it with crap, thereby destroying it.
    MAIL IS CRAP NOW, pure and simple!
    I wasted hours and hours trying to get this garbage software to work, but NOTHING.
    I finally gave up and switched to Thunderbird, which works just fine. Unfortunately, Address Book is now useless, so I have to MANUALLY transfer ALL the contact info I've acquired over the past 12 years and MANUALLY re-enter all the data into Thunderbird, because APPLE, in their INFINITE wisdom, made it IMPOSSIBLE to export Address Book info as a csv or tab delimited file.
    ***??? Was Apple taken over by Micro$oft or something?
    HEY STEVE---- MAC USERS ARE THE ONES THAT MADE YOUR TREASURED iPHONE POSSIBLE. STOP... I REPEAT STOP IGNORING US!

  • Apple Mail won't download .doc attachments

    Lacking a specific "Mail" catagory I've posted this here. Less than Ideal I know but here goes.
    This just started last week.
    Many of us in the office and contractors we work with send .doc files by email. In the last four of five days (mid March 2014) Apple Mail no longer downloads them. See the attached image
    We can see the document title with a download button above it. Clicking on the button does nothing. Right clicking and using "Save Attachment" yields a 0kb file. Right clicking and using "Open With" results in a blank Word document.
    If I use mail clients other than Apple Mail (for example Thunderbird) the documents download correctly.
    The problem is not related to spam filtering as we all use different services (and some use none at all).
    This is the case across multiple macs using Mail. All the installs worked properly prior to about a week ago.
    Is there a fix for this (other than everyone buying new machines and upgrading to newest software)?
    Thanks.

    Because Mail is part of OS X you will find a forum in it for the version of OS X you have installed. For example if you have Mavericks 10.9.x then search in the Mavericks forum.

  • New itunes won't download on my mac

    The new update for itunes won't download on my mac. It says that it is not compatible with my operating system. I just want to put music on my IPHONE 5!!!!!

    iTunes 10.7 or newer requires at least Mac OS X 10.6.8. If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, click here and buy the DVD.
