Long Delay to Receive New Mail

I have the iPhone 3g and I set up a MobileMe account and I set up my phone to push my e-mails. But, I had an issue where I received two e-mails on Monday, but they didn't show up in my phone till Wednesday? What? How could it take my phone 3 days to recognize a new e-mail? Luckily they weren't important, but still...anyone else have this issue?

Hello Kenfromsk and MangoN,
I have managed to resolve the problem of not being able to received my AOL e-mail via Lion Mail.
It was quite drastic action so please save any e-mails that you have on the Mac rather on the e-mail server.  All of mine are on AOL's server.
The solution I found was. Firstly shut down Mail then via Go to Home (in the drop down menu) then Library and find the Mail folder.
Deleted all the files within the Mail Folder that related to your e-mail provider, in my case AOL.   Do not delete the Mail folder itself.
Once you have done this re-launch Mail and let the mail assistant take you through re-establishing your e-mail account.
It worked for me and I hope it does for you.  Please let me know how you get on.
Best Regards,
Maurice 49.

  • GMail - iPhone cleared out inbox / other folders & won't receive new mail.

    My GMail has been working fine on my iPhone, but yesterday the iPhone cleared out all my folders without asking and will no longer receive any emails. But I can still send messages, and my GMail account via the web browser is still intact and receiving new mail. My iPhone is definitely online. Why? Help!

    Mine is working fine. Try deleting the Gmail account from the iPhone, then re-adding it.

  • How do I only receive new mails on iPhone

    So, I have succesfully set up my hotmail account on my iPhone. The only problem is that I receive my oldest mail first and since I have like 2000+ old messages in my inbox it will take a while for me to get to my new messages.
    Is there a way to set up the mail program so that it only receives new mail?
    Thanks

    The iPhone's email client includes no such setting and I'm not aware of any email client that does.
    Utilize another mailbox or mailboxes with the email client used on your computer to transfer some of these messages to that you want or need to keep.

  • Can't receive new mail from hotmail

    Okay, so I got my MacBook Air two days ago and everything has been running fine, except for the fact that in the Mail app I can't receive email from my hotmail account past a certain point. When it goes to receive new mail for the account it lists itself as receiving 2320 incoming messages. I know that this figure is too high, perhaps about double what it should be getting from the account. However, the main problem lies in the fact that the Mail app only ever receives 455 of those messages, which leaves me missing pretty much every email I've received this year. The Mail app works fine for receiving new emails from my university email account (which uses pod51000.outlook.com for its incoming mail server, as opposed to hotmail's pop3.live.com). I've looked through the online support pages and looked for people having a similar problem here, but neither of these have been of any real help. I have no idea what the problem could be, so any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
    If any additional information would be helpful then I'd be more than happy to provide it.

    had the same problem and solved it!
    I've posted the solution here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2705264?start=15&tstart=0

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Mail hiccup? 2 to 3 times a day don't receive new mail unless quit & reboot

    Sometimes I won't receive new e-mail messages in my INBOX, my Treo tells me I have new mails. I have to quite mail to see new messages. I've heard this is a mproblem with mac mail, anybody know how to fix it?

    I've been using the Mail.app for a very long time and I've never had this problem. Where have you heard this? This problem isn't reported here in large numbers if at all.
    For what type of account - .Mac, IMAP or POP?
    What is your time interval setting for automatically checking for new messages?
    Before quitting and relaunching Mail, have you checked if the account is offline which can occur when there is a problem communicating with the incoming mail server for an account which isn't necessarily a Mail.app problem.

  • What can I do to get my email? - I have to restart each time before it will receive new mail

    Mail is not receiving new emails. When I know I've received a new email (it comes through fine on my ipad), I have to restart Mail to get it to connect to the server. In my settings I have mail set to automatically check every minute. Even if I hit the Get mail button, nothing happens.
    I switched over from Office and now sorry I did.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • OSX 10.5.8 / Mail.app 3.6 - Mail.app No Longer Auto-Checks For New Mail

    Since I upgraded to 10.5.8, Mail.app does not appear to be checking automatically for new mail. Regardless of how I set the preference (Every 1 Minute, Every 5 Minutes) it never checks for new mail, and I always have to click on "Get Mail".
    I've verified this by opening the Activity WIndow and watching it for more than 5 minutes, with the preference set to 1 and 5 minutes between checks. I don't have time to test the longer intervals right now.
    Mail.app is at version 3.6, modified yesterday morning at the same time that I used Software Update to apply the 10.5.8 update (from 10.5.7). I've used Spotlight to make sure that this is the only version of Mail.app on the drive.

    Never mind...for the account in question, the "include this account when checking automatically" option was unchecked. Not sure how that happened...

  • 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))

    ( 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.

  • E72 and Gmail problem (I can't receive new mail)

    Greetings,
    I hava Gmail account set up in my Nokia E72. I can send mail and I can receive mail which is dated till 23.02.2010. Mail that came in my inbox after that date and new mail I can not receive on E72. What could be a problem?

    You could try re-sync-ing your Nokia Messaging account to see if that works. I forgot the exact term though but it's somewhere in the options...or settings... It will basically remove all the email data in your phone and re-sync to your connected mailboxes fresh.
    You will not be able to download a separate Mail for Exchange application to install in your Nokia E72 because the MFE functionality is integrated (built-in) with the Nokia Email Client that is part of your phone OS.
    In other words, your Nokia E72 came pre-loaded with the ability to use MFE. When you set up an email account, there should have been an option for you to select "MFE" which will work, if your email account provider has an Exchange server for you to connect to.
    Sometimes, with generic email addresses which is by default a POP3 type connection for example, you may have to manually set up the MFE connection. So the way I do it is to trick the phone into thinking my email address is non-standard by typing [email protected]... This will prompt the phone to ask me for an email type.
    The only way to "update" your MFE is if the latest software update for your phone has improvements to the email client software.
    As for third party mail software, it will vary because phones don't have the same operating system. There's no universal compatibility with one software. Every mobile software developed must be tweaked to work with different models and brands.
    It's not an easy thing to do and consumes time & money. So most developers will focus on the devices that are the most popular among consumers...  If Nokia E72 isn't listed as a compatible device, then you will not be able to use free mail software. You can email the software company that develops the mail software you are interested in to see if they have plans to include E72 as part of their compatible devices
    "Try not. Do or do not, there is no try."
    If you found someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to the post!

  • Mail thinks it's receiving new mail, but isn't

    I tried this before and got no helpful responses, and am still having issues. When I open Mail it says it is receiving over 2,000 new messages, but doesn't actually load any new mail. It goes through the loading and everything, but nothing shows up. I tried taking the account offline and back online, as well as removing the account and readding it. I have also tried rebuilding. Nothing works! Any help?

    I am having the same problem. I just bought a new MacBook Pro, I have my mail through Apple's MobileMe. Mail will run, says its downloading X of Y messages, but when it is done, there is nothing new in my inbox. Sometimes clicking into another folder and then back to Inbox reveals the new mail. Often, I have to quit mail and reactivate it, then it runs through the "Loading X of Y" again and this time the messages appear...
