Ipad 2 not auto receiving mail from IMAP account

Hi, I have an iPad 1 & 2 and an iPhone 3Gs.
I have may email accounts with different servers, Apple, Yahoo, Google & 1&1.
All auto receive mail via push, except for the 1&1 acc on the iPad2.
Checked & double checked settings are same as on iPhone & iPad 1 which both receive mail from that account without issues.
The only way I can get to see new mail from the 1&1 acc on it is to open the mail app and sit back for it to come in!
What could I possibly be doing wrong? Is anyone else having the same issue?

I am. I have a G5 and an iPad. I can get my mail from the G5, or by logging onto the server via Internet, but my mail app tells me it can't connect to the server. I've tried all the fixes on the other, similar threads... Set both fetch to manual, hard restart, reconfigure, etc. I can get it to work once after hard reboot.

I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it "can't connect" to my yahoo mail account, despite the fact that I can receive mail from that account. The banner appears with my coded password highlighted and asks me to choose 'cancel' or 'ok'.

I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it 'can't connect' to my Yahoo account despite the fact that I am able to receive mail from that account. It appears with the name of my Yahoo account, my password (coded), and the choice to 'cancel' or 'ok'. If I click either, the banner goes away but comes back soon. I can open Mail and see that all accounts are online. I get the banner SEVERAL time during a session - very annoying!
I have several accounts, but this only happens with Yahoo and sometimes Hotmail. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this Mail issue?
Thanks.

I have 5 IMAP and 1 POP (Hotmail).
The Yahoo is IMAP.

Cannot receive mail from .Mac account on port 143

I use my laptop at work. I used to have a 12" Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.3. I had no problem receiving mail from my .Mac account. Now, and all of a sudden, I can no longer receive my .Mac mail using the Mail app. The error I get is:
The server "mail.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143.
I called AppleCare about this issue last night and they told me to perform the following steps:
1. Choose .Mac in System Preferences and delete my username and password from the Account tab.
2. Move com.apple.mail.plist and the Mail folder from my ~/Library folder to the desktop.
3. Restart the Mail app and re-import the Mail folder from the desktop. I was told not to directly copy the Mail folder from the desktop into the ~/Library folder.
4. Go back into .Mac in System Preferences and re-enter my account information.
According to AppleCare, things should now work. But there's a little problem with this "solution." I spoke with my network admin and he told me that incoming traffic on port 143 is blocked. That being the case, I fail to see how any of the above steps will solve my problem. It seems nothing more than an issue of trying to get my network admin to open port 143 and he seems reluctant to do that.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard

I've solved this problem. Well, actually, I didn't do anything other than:
1) Rebooting my computer, then...
2) Following the instructions at the top of the following thread to re-create my email accounts (I had two):
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1598309#1598309
Not sure what this fixed, and how I got into this issue in the first place.
I had four or five days worth of email to come in... it took...
...a...
...long...
...time...
But its looking like its working.
A few things I tried, and although they didn't have an immediate effect to fix the connection refused problem, they might have kicked something to start something working again:
1) Created a new 'test' user on the system, restarted, logged in as that user, and started Mail.app setting it up with .Mac settings (it was after this everything worked)
2) Changed SSL ports in the accounts settings (no difference)
3) Turned firewall on and off (no difference)
4) Attempted to use Thunderbird to read .Mac email as IMAP mailbox (didn't work)
Hope this rather obvious help helps anyone else

Send and receive mail from different accounts.

I'm new to everything and I just posted this in the iPod forum, but I'm now thinking it belongs here.
How do I receive mail from my Gmail account and send from another account?
I have the incoming server as an IMAP and it works fine. The outgoing mail server is the problem. It's set up as a different username and everything, and it STILL sends it through my GMail account. I deleted the outgoing smtp gmail server with no success. What should I do?
Thanks!

Ernie,
You beat me to the punch... I was just about to reply with a follow-up asking if there was a way to do just that. Looks like I may need to use the separate accounts option in order to allow my to have Full Name information that is more helpful. For now, it won't be a problem because I only need 2 different addresses. If that changes in the future, however, I can see how it would be a problem.
It would be simple if I could add a comma-separated list of Full Names in the Full Name field (in the same order as the list of addresses) and have them match up.
Hmmm... might have to try that, just to see if it would work!
Thanks again.

Not all mails from IMAP account downloaded to Mail

I use an IMAP email account from GMX together with Apple Mail.
After some investigation I noticed, that there is a different number of mails on the server and locally on my Mac.
The Mac has much less mails.
Digging deaper it appears, that there are duplicates on the server which are not synced - hopefully only duplicates.
How did a realize that?
1. number of mails shown in Apple Mail's Account Information is identical to the server information.
2. Selecting all folders and all mails shows a significant difference
Anybody experiencing the same behaviour?
How do I get the missing mails transfered to my Mac?
Thanks a lot in advance.
PS: OS X 10.8.2 with Mail 6.2

I've run across this problem as well. I'm using a non GoDaddy IMAP account and under 10.8.2 some messages aren't appearing on the computer. They show correctly on the server and two different pre 10.8 computers.
What's odd is that if you select (cmd+a) all the messages and then go to View--≥Display Selected Messages Only, the number of messages and missing ones show up correctly.
I've duplicated this problem on two different 10.8.2 computer installations. Creating a fresh user account and adding the account results in the same behavior. Any ideas? I may try doing a fresh install from 10.8.0 and seeing if that resolves the problem.

Having issues receiving mail from exchange account

I have 3 iPhone customers that are having issues with recieiving mail from their exchange accounts. The only time their emails come to their phones is when they actually has Outlook open on their computers. If Outlook is NOT open on the computers none of them not recieve emails on their phones. I have checked the settings on each of their phones and everything looks to be configured correctly. Any ideas, suggestion? Could this be a exchange server side issue?
Thanks

Different from a Blackberry, the iPhone's Mail app communicates direct with the incoming mail server and outgoing mail server for an email account - no different from accessing an email account with an email client on your computer.
Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or that isn't provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time. Your iPhone's carrier is no exception when connected to the internet with your carrier's network.
Do you know if the account's SMTP server is authenticated with a user name and password just as the incoming mail server for the account is authenticated?

IOS mail not picking up mail from yahoo account

Hi guys,
few days ago i deleted some of my mail by accident, so i used yahoo's restoring email service to get my mail back.
after its restored all my mails are back, but on my iOS for some resason 'inbox' just not picking up any mails at all (old and new mails), all the other folders works just fine (e.g. sent, junk, trash and my persoanl folders).
I have tried to delete the yahoo account from iOS then reinstall it, still the same problem. but on my Mac's Mail everything is just fine.
I really dont know what do to next.
hope someone can help me out here,
thanks in advance!

BTW my phone is iphone 5 and running on iOS7

Yahoo email hasn't been reliable for me. I get a lot of errors when yahoo goes to put a copy of my sent email in to the sent folder. I am using thunderbird with imap.
Does the wife have a paid account? I do and I think it is required for downloading your email.
The email pop protocol hasn't changed much so I'd think 10.3 would still be ok.
What to do?
wait.
Try another mail reader. set to leave on server. could try thunderbird with imap. not perfect.

Mac Mail receiving mail from another account

I have 2 completely different e-mail accounts active in Mac Mail. Although mail is being sent to the "non" Mac mail account, the Mac Mail account receives the mail. When I move the mail to the other account, it reappears in Mac Mail.

Okay, I have had the problem of not being able to send email although I was recieving email. After reading prior posts on this topic, I turned OFF all three of my email accounts and then turned them back on and that worked!!!!!!!
Finally! I have spent a lot of time on this issue trying to resolve it so I hope this post will help someone who has the same issues.
I didn't have a problem with this with my original iphone, but then I dropped that phone in my coffee one morning and when I recieved the replacement, for some reason I had to manually set up each account and it wasn't as intuitive as it was the first time I set them up. Good luck.

How to recover mail from deleted account?

Had some problems receiving mail from an account and the service provider suggested I recreate it and try again... In doing so I deleted the old account and have lost all of the messages in the old inbox and sent mail box. I cannot find anywhere where these might have been put and expect that they have disappeared but does anyone have any tips for finding and restoring them?
G5 Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Mail 2.1

It all depends on the type of account and how it was configured. For IMAP-type accounts, mail is stored on the server, and setting up the account again is all that’s needed to regain access to your mail.
If you deleted a POP account, however, then all your mail stored locally in that account’s mailboxes has certainly been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
Remove Account
Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
If the POP account was configured to leave mail on the server for some time instead of removing it right away when downloaded, incoming mail that’s still on the server can be re-downloaded by setting up the account again, just like for IMAP accounts, but keep in mind that this would only work for received (i.e. not sent) mail that has not yet been removed from the server.
If the messages are not on the server, and you don’t have a backup, your only option in the case of Mail 2.x is to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

Can you recover mail from deleted account?

Using Mail 2.0.5, I kept getting a message that port 25 was blocked, and couldn't receive mail from that account. I didn't think to check .mac for solution, but created a new mail account under a different name, with the same settings. When it worked, I deleted the original account...but didn't realize I'd lose all the mail associated with it in my mail program. Thought it would be stored someplace, but I can't find it anywhere. Is there any way to recover mail from a deleted Mail account?

Never did find a solution to this. However because we are using IMAP accounts most of the mail was cached on the client Macs. So I offlined them, loaded Mail, copied all the mail into local mailboxes, recreated the users, went online and copied the mail back into the new hierarchy.
Still can't believe I did such a daft thing!

I can't SEND e-mail from an account on my iPad 4, that CAN receive -mail

Hi Again,
I am hoping someone on this forum will possibly have an answer to a very confusing problem.
I can't seem to get one of my e-mail accounts to be set up 'properly' on my iPad 4. The account in question is an account from BT, which has @btinternet.com at the end of it. I have 'installed' and deleted this account more than ten times. When setting up this account (as with all other accounts that DO work properly), the only info I am 'asked' to input is my name, e-mail address and password, in the 'text entry spaces' that relate to the INCOMING mail server. When this is done I USUALLY see the word 'verifying........' Then the 'blue tick marks' confirming that the info I have entered is correct. The validity of this info is also confirmed by the fact that this account can RECEIVE the e-mails sent to it.
Each of the last four or five times I have deleted this e-mail account and re-installed it I have NOT seen the word 'verifying.....' And I have NOT seen the aforementioned blue ticks. Selecting 'done' after re-entering my info just makes this settings box disappear, rather than show the verifying and the blue ticks, which then allows me to see that the account is 'properly' set up - or should be anyway.
Even so I still get all the e-mails again, but still cannot SEND, OR REPLY
The error message I get every single time I try to SEND, OR REPLY using this same e-mail account is:
'Cannot Send Mail'
'The username or password for SMTP: ***********@mail.btinternet.com is incorrect'
My username and password are NOT incorrect. The set up process does not even ask for a username or password for 'SMTP'!
Even if I go further into the settings for this account, I can find two spaces where I COULD put a username and password, for SMTP, but these spaces already have the words 'optional' in them so they are not supposed to be 'required'. Even if I DO put in these spaces my surname and password for this e-mail account it does not make any difference.
I have tried 'switching on' the 'other mail servers' which are shown below the 'Primary mail server' in another settings box, for the btinternet.com e-mail account settings, but this still does not stop the error message, AND the e-mail in question is then actually sent from one of the e-mail accounts connected with the 'other mail servers' - I know this because it appears in the 'sent' items folder of whichever account my iPad has decided to use at the time (not always the same one either). It also appears in the sent items folder of the account that I TRIED to use, despite the fact it was NOT sent from this account, and the error message said I cannot send mail (from this account).
I have contacted Apple Tech Support and they have told me that the problem is NOT with the iPad, it is with the 'account provider'. This is because they say that the info held and used by BT - the info that is used as the 'correct info', that is compared to what I have put in the set up boxes on my iPad - IS actually the info that is incorrect despite the fact that the info I use on my iPad and the info I use on the BT website (which was originally determined by ME when I first got my account) and is held by BT, is the info that is causing the problem of the error message. To put it another way, the info referred to in the error message is NOT incorrect, the error message is incorrectly generated.
Typically, BT have tried to deny the problem is caused by them because 'the info referred to' - which is my e-mail address and password - works correctly an ALL places that is supposed to work (on the BT website) AND works with the BT/iPad applications like BT Wi-Fi, BT Smart talk, etc. :( :( :(
Any help or advice that anyone could give will be very greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Bob

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.

Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. Not an iCloud account. It is a Bell Aliant account.

Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. It is not an iCloud account it is a Bell Aliant account. An account I pay for.
This is the second time in three months this has occurred. Bell Aliant suggested I contact Apple directly as the only option is to remove my e-mail account and reconfigure it. This will mean losing all my files. These files are very important as my account is a business account.
Bell Aliant thought perhaps it is an Apple problem and that Apple may better be able to remedy the situation without me losing my e-mail files.

Sorry ?
An Internet email provider losses all your Mail and it's Apple's fault ??
Did they explain how the app managed to delete all of your mail and then not even let you have access ?
If that was the case the app should still be able to access the empty folders.
I know there is often blame and counter blame in these situations but there are limits.

Can not send e-mails from account but can receive

I have my e-mail account with ATT Yahoo.
I received an account verification notice yesterday from ATT and I responded and they said I was verified.
However after I did that I could not send e-mails from my Imac desktop but I am receiving them.
I spend 4 and a half hours, yes 41/2 hours with both Apple Care and ATT and they could not correct the problem. Both discussions were with upper tier support personnel.
Here are some facts that make this an odd issue:
(1)
I have other e-mail boxes from ATT and they can send and receive e-mails.
(2)
MY laptop can still send and receive e-mails from the e-mail account that is only receiving with my Imac.
(3)
All the settings are exactly the same and both Apple Care and ATT checked them.
Is there anybody out there that may have an answer ?
Both Apple Care and ATT blamed each other.
My concern is that today I received another e-mail trying to verify my e-mail address for another e-mail address from ATT.
I called ATT and they did not know why, I DID NOT open it up and trashed it.
ATT has put a filter on my other e-mail accounts and hopefully that will end any problems with them.
The account that has the issue is my main account and I cannot trust leaving it and am trying to avoid having to change it.

Hi Rachel, For what it will be worth, I was like a dog with a bone about this, so I decided to give it another go. I have success on both boxes. Here is what I did, I warn you now it was a lengthy process. Before you begin download all the upgrade steps from X.5.0 to X.5.6 as single stages ( for me the combo's did not work) and have them ready to use.
1st Backup all your mail to CD/DVD not on the box. Check for any unsent mails anywhere in the box and then throw out all of the mail bits that are anywhere on the system in any folder. 2nd Install & Archive, 3rd Start up from Install DVD and check/set permissions, reboot. Enter all your ISP details to mail, see if you can send a mail to yourself. If not dump all the mail you tried and the .plists, reboot and install next update in the series, enter all details as before, try and send etc. If this fails dump again and reboot install next update etc.
I started at X.5.1 and got to vX.5.4 before I got a result in that sys asked me if this server will do, I said yes and I got mail out. The server name was different that was offered but when all was over it showed as the correct one that it should be on port 995. I must add that I had the spinning cog wheel for quite some minutes before anything happened. I continued on this way for the rest of the updates. 1x1 until v.6 was reached. That was only on the G4, I now had to do it all again on the MacPro. This one was not so co-operative in that I had to do it twice, but now it also has Mail running. It is funny though that I had to reach X.5.4 on both machines before it came right. On the G4 I was using a retail disc and on the Intel the supplied for discs.
Others on here may have a better and quicker way, but for me this did work. I am sure that there is a problem in either the mail app itself or the production of the Master DVD's.
Whatever, good luck.
