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.

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.

Accidentally deleted all mail from one account - how to retrieve?

I apparently deleted all of the mail from one of my email accounts on the iPhone. They are not showing up in the Trash folder.
The emails are still present in Entourage and have not been deleted from the server.
Is there any way to bring them back into the iPhone? I really need them for my on-the-go responses since I spend half my life waiting in offices!
Thanks,
roxpat

OK - another update.
If the message is downloaded into Entourage first then it won't downloaded onto my iPhone at all. I haven't made any changes to my account.
ideas?

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.

[No body found] on all mails from one account

All mails I get from one account are empty, containing only [no body found].
The mail is fetched from the ISP via fetchmail, forwarded to Zarafa-Groupware and synced with the mobile devices via Z-push (OSS ActiveSync solution). All other mail clients work fine (Android, IOS, Nokia Mail for Exchange,...) and the calendar as well as notes and adresses all sync fine. Only the mail bodies are empty
The logs on the server look fine...
Any hints on how to get get it working? Or at least on how to get more debug info on the Z10?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Ycas

Hmmm...well, then the only thing I can recommend is that you contact your mobile service provider for formal support and, likely, escalation into BlackBerry. They may want to collect logs and such to see if they can replicate the problem. It also may simply be an unsupported provider...it's really quite impossible for any device to support every provider (I admit, it should work...but there is a slight chance...).
Good luck!

Really weird problem -- won't download mail from one sender

I'm having a really weird problem. Apple Mail won't retrieve mail from my Gmail account via POP3 from one sender only. All other mail is downloaded normally, except from a particular sender. What could be causing this? Thanks.

I am trying to remember and research something about the Junk filter and Gmail accounts. Have you checked in your Junk mailbox, if Junk in enabled and there is a separate Junk mailbox?
If you click on my name to the left, and look in the bio line of the resulting Profile, you will find an email address you can reach me with. If you email me at that address, I will send you a Gmail address that your sender can test sending a message to me at my Gmail account.

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.

Transferring mail from one account to another

I have a mobileme account and I did use that for mail, I then switched to a personal domain and copied my mail over using the mail app, just dragged and dropped from one mail box to another.
Now I want to put the mail back in mobile me, (storage issues), but for some reason certain emails give me this message The IMAP command “APPEND” (to INBOX) failed with server error: Message contains invalid header. This stop me form just selecting all and dragging back to mobile me
They are both IMAP accounts and there is heaps of space on the mobile me account
Any clues?

Another option is to sign up for Verizon Your Domain via www.keepmyemail.com - This service is ~20/year and should allow you to keep your email addresses as long as you link them to it before cancelling your account.

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.

Merging mail from one account on two computers

I have mail up until December 2007 on my Mac Mini and mail from December 1 to present on my Powerbook. I want to get all my mail until now onto just one computer.
Can anyone tell me the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance

See Mail | Help and in the search box, type "importing email into Mail"
Mail Help doesn't say so, but I would be sure to make a copy of your /Users/mk/Library/Mail before starting, just in case something terrible were to happen. Single-click on that folder then control-click on it and select "Make Archive".
Find a firewire cable and connect the two computers together via firewire. On the one from which you want to import mail, reboot it while holding down the "T" key -- let up once you see the big firewire symbol on a blue screen. An icon of that computer should now show up on the desktop of the computer to which you want to import its mail. Then follow the instructions in Mail Help.
I don't know if "import Mail" creates new mail folders or not when you do this. But whatever, if it does, once the messages have been imported, you can drag them to whatever mailbox is appropriate then delete the newly created imported mail folders once they are empty.
If something goes terribly wrong (like the import operation overwrites your existing messages or something ugly like that), just drag the /Users/mk/Library/Mail folder to the Trash and doubleclick on the /Users/mk/Library/Archive.zip that was created when you made the archive of your Mail folder three paragraphs ago. Then you'll be back to where you started.

Moved Gmail mail from one account to another, Gmail (browser) not getting it

SWITCHING LINE FROM ONE ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER.....WILL IT RENEW?

I have a 2G iPhone now. I am on my mothers account. She is the primary account holder. I created a separate account as myself as the primary account holder for my girlfriends line. I would like to purchase the 3G iPhone tomorrow. It says you need to have the primary account holder present to purchase iPhone 3G. I would like to put my line from the account I am with now (Mothers Primary Account) to my account (Myself Primary Account). That away I do not need her to come down with me to buy the phone. NOW MY QUESTION IS IF I TRANSFER MY 2G IPHONE (SAME NUMBER AND SIM CARD) FROM ONE ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER WILL THAT RENEW MY CONTRACT FOR THAT LINE/ MAKE ME INELLIGABLE FOR THE UPGRADE OF THE $299 FOR THE 16GB?

DON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE.

Mail not downloading from one account after iPhone sync

Since I allowed my iPhone to sync my mail accounts, I can only receive mail from one of my accounts on my iPhone, no longer on my laptop.
Mail on my laptop seems to be checking for mail, and in the activity window it seems like its going to start downloading, then nothing happens. Sometimes I get a 'Maildrop Busy error message on my laptop. At least I'm getting the mail, but I'd prefer it on my laptop too!
Any ideas?

Hi demonknitter, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
In your home folder, try moving this +folder & file+ to the Desktop then reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail
Move to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Then reboot once more.
