Long delay from being notified to mail being received

I've been seeing about a 3-minute delay from the time Notification Center states I have a new email to the time the email actually shows up in Mail.app for an Exchange account that I have. I do have a few very simple rules but they shouldn't impact receipt time of mail to that degree.
I currently have "Check for new messages: Automatically" and have tried the various 1-min, 5-min, etc. which didn't change things.
The part thats confusing is Notification Center sees the message nearly 3 minutes before mail does so I know Exchange is communicating to my Mac, just that Mail is very slow to respond.
Thanks

I have noticed that if I have, in my case, an image file that I have sent as an attachment but have no use for it once the e-mail has gone. I can't delete that file unless I force the trash to empty or quit e-mail first, then I can delete it normally? Not noticed that before.

I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

How do you stop an email from continually being recovered that has completely stopped any new mail from being received?

In trying to send an oversized video via email (exceeded 25 MG) size limit, I got an error message. I thought I deleted the email. However, whenever email is open, the message continually gets recovered, blocking any email from being recieved. I am able to create and send emails. Internet checks out ok. Using AOL.iMap. It seems that I am not able to interrupt the continual attempts to send the original email.

To those who have viewed my question, thank you. I found the solution under "Mail sending and recovering emai!" I went to Email Preferences, Advanced, and selected "Dont't keep copies of any messages" on the pull down of Keep copies of messages for offline viewing:, saved changes and problem solved. Thanks,

Long delay when sending non-btinternet mail

We are using Outlook Express/Windows mail client, and there is a long long delay when sending mail.
It just hangs saying "Connecting..." in the status bar. Receiving email has no problems.
Eventually it sometimes works or sometimes just times out.
The smtp server is not btinternet/yahoo but our own email server, which we have been using for 10 years. There is no problem pinging the smtp server. e.g. smtp.ourserver.net
It works without delays on other (non BT) home/business networks.
We have tried plugging other laptops into this home network and trying to send email (to the same mail server) - same problem.
It therefore seems to be peculiar to a BT Hub or BT as the ISP.
The problem seems to have first appeared when an upgrade was made to cater for future fibre optic services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Today I started from my Firewire-device with 10.4.11 and had ichat running from there. I chatted with my friend, who is on 10.5.1 - no problems at all. (so my router is not causing the problem, as I thought)
Starting from 10.5.1 again I opened up Activity Monitor and found this message every 10 secs !

I remember that I installed Little snitch some time ago and removed it manually. Then today I run the official uninstaller for it. Still I cannot get rid of this activity. May be it has to do something with the text delay in ichat? How to delete all Little Snitch processes? How can someone find these data?
Thanks for Feedback

Does ios6 allow you to block a phone number from being received in the future?

I know that previous versions of iOS did not provide the ability to block a phone number in the "Call History" menu from ever being received again, but what about iOS6?

Hey Paul,
Michael is right, you can easily get around it by simply assigning a silent ringtone.
Google "silent ringtone" (don't pay for it, you can find it free) and download it. I've created an "Annoying Cr@p"
"contact" that I've assigned the silent ringtone to and I simply cut and paste the numbers I want blocked into it.
No more salesmen, political party calls, etc.- the phone does light up when they call, but you hear nothing- and usually miss them all together. I've assigned a nice little image of a stuffed dog pooh to it (google "poop toy"), and when someone does see it (as one of my co-workers saw it light up on my desk once) it makes for a *great* laugh.
Works like a champ. Takes minutes.

Long delay from receiving INVITE from PSTN gateway and actual end client call

I was wondering if there is anyone who can assist me in some troubleshooting long delays within the mediation server. I have a lab environment which has the front end and mediation server on the same box. I also have an audiocodes MP-114 connected to two
test PSTN lines and this is configured as a trunk to the mediation server and there is two polycom IP phones within the test environment.
Now everything works - SIP invites and media but certain aspects have significant delays.
The problem is with inbound calls from the PSTN line
PSTN via Audiocodes MP-114 to Polycom phone - When I dial the PSTN number from my mobile the audiocodes sends a SIP invite to the Mediation Server within just under a second - I was able to determine this by using the syslog and to be honest that seems a
reasonable time.
Now moving onto the OCSlogger I logged the mediation and SIP logs and the mediation server is showing the SIP invite about half a second later (I am assuming some network latency clock drift etc) which again seems fine.
I then receive various logs showing TLS negotiation between ports 5061 and high ports on the server, and dial plan matching which all seems ok and this seems to take about 1 second not great but not the biggest issue However I then dont receive any message
logs for over 3 seconds until the the mediation server states "SDP Answer to Gateway, SDP is :v=0"
Then another 4 seconds go by until another tls session is negotiated and the SIP invite is sent to the lync registered polycom phone and then the IP phone starts ringing - so it appears the mediation server is not doing anything anything for 7 seconds.
Now looking at the detailed Trace logs I get three TL_ERROR from the proxysdp.cs(1417) proxysdp.cs(422) during the delay that states
TL_ERROR(TF_PROTOCOL) [0]12EC.1ED8::02/05/2014-12:22:45.305.000b07d8 (MediationServer,ProxySdpProcessor.InternalTryParseSdpT<GlobalDescription_TMediaDescription>:proxysdp.cs(1417))
(0000000003CB324D)SDP parsing error: Empty SDP offer
and then a warning
TL_WARN(TF_COMPONENT) [0]12EC.1ED8::02/05/2014-12:22:49.028.000b080e (MediationServer,ProxyCall.FinishGetOffer:proxycall.cs(4578))[57060297]
57060297Could not get MRAS candidates from the Media Relay token. Connectivity Servers List = SRV-0003.LOCAL.COM.NULL
and an error from SIPSTACK
TL_ERROR(TF_COMPONENT) [0]1298.25DC::02/05/2014-12:22:49.034.000b1d72 (SIPStack,CISIPProxy::CreateUriFromString:ISIPProxy.cpp(1333))
( 00000000002061A0 ) Exit - not a valid SIP address. Returned 0xC3E93F25(SIPPROXY_E_INVALID_URI_SCHEME)
Now the call goes though and works fine but the delay is considerable for the first ring - Has anyone got any ideas as I am stumped at the moment
Cheers
Adam

Adam, you did not mention Edge and so, I will assume one is not deployed yet. Is this the case? Do you have edge defined in topology but not physically configured? "Could
not get MRAS candidates from the Media Relay token" indicates Mediation is trying to get Media Relay address from Edge via FE, but could not.

I can no longer paste from Excel into Yahoo mail with version 3.6.8.

With earlier version(s) I'm sure I remember being able to do this. Any suggestions? When I paste now nothing happens - the screen remains blank. Can it be fixed?
Thanks!

Hmmmm,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Long delay after selecting print in Mail

Hi,
Installed Snow Leopard over the weekend, however there is a delay when I try to print any email (large or small) from Mail.
I click command and P and the 'File' in the top menu turns blue for around 30 seconds before the print dialogue box finally pops up. I am going to add another 1Gb RAM to my Macbook to see if this addresses this issue. Bear in mind that Mail is the only application open at the time.
Does anyone else have this issue?

Hello Rory:
FWIW, I do not have that problem.
You might try a couple of things.
1. Rebuild the mailbox(s).
2. Delete your printer, restart, and then add it back into your system.

My iPhone 5 delays texts being received for an hour and sometimes days at a time. What can I do to fix that?

So I have had the iPhone 5 since the day it came out in September. I have noticed, randomly, it will delay texts from individuals and in group messages. It has delayed for an hour or more, and more than once it has delayed for more than a day. I have looked at the sent message time and it says 8:52am but I am receiving it at 9:30am? Or once it kept ringing for like a minute straight as all the messages from a group message came in from two days prior, they have the date they were sent but they don't get to me until much later than needed. I have no idea why it does it either. Any help?

I am having the same problem on my iPhone 5 16gb on Verizon. I did a fresh restore from scratch twice and my messaging is extremely slow/buggy it freezes mid text, mid sending, while opening a photo received photo or sent photo in messaging app. Also I have had the phone just refuse to turn on until I wait for like 1 minute and keep trying. Another issue with the messaging app is that sometimes the messaging app will chime in as a new message is received minutes after I have already read and replied to it.
Do I have a lemon piece of hardware or is this potentially a software bug affecting more users?

Why is it, after all the years with this service, my wife can't get service, send a text without a long delay from the high school she works at 4 miles away??? The phone works great in the middle of corn fields but in the dead center of town, at the high

I have been with Verizon since they started in Peoria, IL and yet to this day I don't understand why when my wife goes to work at a high school, dead in the middle of town, she has no service, can't send a text without a huge delay and can't receive phone calls? I can be out of Peoria in the middle of a corn field and I get calls without a problem, yet but within the city no service at Peoria High School or very limited. This causes the phone to drop from LTE and then eats the battery.

Service isn't guaranteed inside of buildings especially buildings filled with steel, concrete and electrical wiring. High School buildings definitely have all three.

Long delay getting new mail

I am experiencing a long delay in Mail getting new mail. Here's what happens:
1. on launching Mail, it gets new mail immediately, so I know my account settings are good.
2. once Mail is running, there is a long delay in updating new incoming mail -- can be hours. I have Mail set to check every five minutes. Also, I can manually click on Get Mail and I get a No New Mail beep even when there is new mail (see next point).
3. If I use webmail to access my account, I can see new mail sitting in my In Box.
4. if I quit and relaunch Mail, the new mail shows up.
I have an IMAP account which has worked well for years. This delayed behaviour started a few months ago when I was running Leopard. I posted a question but never got an answer that worked. Now I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.4, and hoped Mail would correct itself with the upgrade. It didn't.
I was once advised that it might have something to do with the Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" setting. However, this preference is ticked and greyed out so I can't change it. (The advice was to turn it on or off and see if that was a fix).
I am running on an iMac 24" Core 2 duo (early 2008 model). After the Snow Leopard upgrade I repaired permissions and ran all the chron scripts. So my system should be pretty good.
I would be grateful for any help. I have clients call and say "I just sent you an email..." and I appear dumb because I have to go to webmail to get it right away.

It's getting better. I used Other to setup my mail acc via MfE, by tricking it to a non uniform mail. That worked, I changed it back to googlemail and guess what?! Next time I boot the phone, the MfE is gone. but it still registers in the background so I can't create a new one. Configuration Tool 6.3 does see it but cannot overwrite it. PixiEnables package and its font nonsens severly screw with PopUpClock, Screensaver and SleepingScreen memory boundaries so those three crash. Thanks for nothing MS apps -.-

Imessage videos being received in poor quality and pixelated

Hi, my imessage videos (aprox 2 minutes long) suddenly are being received by my parents in very bad quality and pixelated. I believe the size of the file being received is a lot smaller. No problems before recent updates on both my ipad air and parents ipad retina display (4). Any suggestions appreciated.

Help! Sent mail never received

I've been having a problem where messages that I sent were never received (different addresses, different times). First it happened every so often. Then more frequently. And now I can't send any messages from my mac acct - not from the desktop app or from the web version. My internet provider hasn't changed. Nothing has changed expect my ability to send messages.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks.

There is something known as a realtime blackhole list. What this does effectively is blocks certain e-mail addresses based on frequent spamming from it. Once on it, it prevents your e-mail from being received by others who are on that list. Contact your friend's internet service provider to let them know not to block your address.
For more on what the realtime blackhole list is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealtimeBlackholeList
What's really insidious about this is that you may not have ever been the direct cause of this, but rather because you posted your e-mail address in the open on the net somewhere, a spammer picked it up and spoofed your address to make it look like you were sending spam, when it really wasn't you. And as a result, if that spammer was wrongly caught and identified as your address, you may end up on a do not receive e-mail from list.

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.
