Mac Mail not receiving all of my mail -- any ideas why not or how to fix?

My Mac Mail is my main work account -- I'm a freelancer & work from home. In the past month or so, about 4 work contacts have asked me why I haven't responded to emails I never received, which leads me to wonder how many other emails I haven't received. I don't care as much about dropped personal ones, but dropped work emails are a serious bummer.
Any idea how I can check what's going on or fix somehow? Not sure whether this is a Mac Mail issue or something else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could this have something to do with it?

  • Why am I not receiving ALL my e-mail in Ipad. I get it on PC and blackberry

    why am i not receiving all my e-mails on ipad2? I get them on my blackerry and on my pc.

    I believe most PC mail programs by default are set to delete messages from the server once they are downloaded onto the PC.  So if you access your email on your PC before your iPad checks for email some messages won't be there. To minimize this make sure you have Push set to on and Fetch set a short time limit (not Manual).

  • When I compose an email in either gmail or yahoo, the cursor lags behind for about 2 seconds. This does not happen when I compose an email with Safari or Chrome. I am using a Mac with Firefox version 3.6.3. Any idea why this happens?

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • All my contacts on my mac and iPhone have disappeared. Any ideas what happened and how to fix it?

    All my contacts on my mac and iPhone have disappeared. Any ideas what happened and how to fix it?

    Do you see them at iCloud.com
    Do you think you could have done anything that might have caused this, if not then it might be best waiting a while in case they just come back.

  • HT3775 I have Mac OS X v10.6.8 and it won't play an mpg file. Any idea why not?

    I have Mac OS X v10.6.8 and it won't play an mpg file. Any idea why not? I get the message that The document “M2U00002.MPG” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file. But when I go to the help page it says that Quick TIme will play MPEG. Any help would be appreciated a lot. Thanks!

    How about this? Use Delete array subset to extract chunks for averaging, and a shift register to retain the remaining array.
    It is typically not advisable to use "delete from array" in a tight loop. The constant memory reallocations due to array resizing are probably inefficient.
    Here's one simple way to do it..

  • I can't seem to run my Playlist under Yahoo Music.. it runs fine with IE 9 but not Firefox 4 .... any idea why?

    I can't seem to run my Playlist under Yahoo Music.. it runs fine with IE 9 but not Firefox 4 .... any idea why? I can run a single song just not my playlist.
    Thanks.

    Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

  • Time Machine runs huge backups all the time.  Any Idea Why & How to Fix It?

    Right now System Preferences for TM says there is 881MB of available space on my Time Capsule with 998GB of storage.  The TM system preferences has been stuck for hours saying it's backed up 31GB out of 68GB.  No error messages.  My wife and I only use the TC for TM backups.
    Any idea why I'm not getting the much smaller incremental, hourly backups that I"m expecting?  This is really slowing down my system.

  • First generation Mac pro booted into utilities and HD recovery, any idea why?

    Hi,
    My first generation Mac pro booted into utilities and HD recovery when I restared after installing Autodesk sketchbook pro. This isnt the first time this has happened but last time I was not trying to install any software. Fortunatly, I have time machine backups and therefore have managed to recover the HD to a recent date and I intend to do a complete system check when it has finished. The first time this happened I didnt think much of it but now it has happened a second time i'm becoming a little concerned, any idea why this has happened?

    I did this the first time it happened so I know that its not that i have the wrong startup disk selected. However, after the recovery had completed I tried the installation again and this time everything went smootly. so as of right now I dont have a problem. Thank you very much for your time and help.

  • New songs and new audio book from Audible will not sync from my computer.  Any idea why?

    I updated my 4S to OS7.  I am now unable to sync new songs and new audiobook from Audible from my computer.  Any idea why?

    Might be incompatible with iOS 7.
    Keep in mind, Audible is not Apple software and Apple is not responsible for third party software compatibility.
    Check the Audibile website for iOS 7 support.

  • BG image swap won't work - any ideas why not?

    http://designerandpublisher.com/test-bg/test-bg-page01.html
    Hi - I'm trying to set up a background image swap where when the user is viewing the site and clicking on links, the background image will change.  You'll see the soldier one there now and I have others.
    The JS file the 2 HTML pages are linked to doesn't seem to be working [see above].
    Any ideas why it's not working, or is there a better JS file anyone may be aware of that does what I'm looking for?
    Thanks - Deaf Guy

    Hello - I wanted to post an update on this topic and am wondering if someone can still help me.  I figured out a way to make background images change on refresh.  You can see it here:
    http://designerandpublisher.com/test-bg/index.html
    I added a piece of JS to make the wrapper images change.  Although the image swap works now, this is really not a true background image swap because it is not swapping images in the body tag.  What I'd really like to do now is go into the body tag and somehow point it toward this JS code so that when the page is refreshed, it will pick up the image swap array.  I'm not sure if this is possible though.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks - Deaf Guy

  • My ITouch will only charge on a computer that has itunes downloaded on it. It will not charge on an outlat? Any ideas why?

    Was wondering if anyone had any idea why I cannot charge my ITouch except on a computer that has ITunes loaded on it? It will not charge in an outlet?

    Maybe the wall charger or cable is defective?
    Does it charge other devices?

  • Not receiving all messages through Mail 1.3.11

    I utilize Comcast as my server.
    Suddenly, I have a problem getting some incoming messages with my Mail 1.3.11 program.
    I have no problem receiving ALL incoming messages at my comcast mailboxes,
    but
    only SOME messages come through when I utilize my Mail 1.3.11 program.
    (I cannot discern a particular pattern.)
    I can't figure why I'm suddenly having this problem.
    As far as I know, there are no firewall problems.

    dlinma,
    Can we check something here?
    In Mail > Preferences > Accounts, then click that account... in "Account Information" this is what mine looks like:
    Account Type: POP / Description: [email protected] / Email Address: [email protected] / Full Name: My Name / Incoming Mail Server: mail.comcast.net / User Name: email name before the @ only / Password: **** / outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.comcast.net
    You can set the Special Mailboxes items at will.
    In "Advanced" I have this:
    Enable this Account: Check / Include when automatically checking for new mail: Check / Remove copy from server after retrieving a message: Check... in the scroll bar: Right away / Prompt me to skip messages over: 600 KB / Account Directory: ~/Library/Mail... / Port: 110 / Use SSL: No / Authentication: Password.
    Does yours resemble mine? The Skip Messages size is up to you, even if you use it (I did on dial-up and haven't changed it yet). Also, the port number may be different in another part of the country. Also, make sure you are "Online" with the account... on the Mail Menu Bar > Mailbox > Online Status... mine tends to timeout and go offline at times, but I get a little lightning symbol next to the inbox to show this (with the mailbox drawer open)... the port is maybe busier when that happens.
    Now we have looked North, South and East... If these don't get it, we go West...

  • HT201342 My I pad mail account has "locked up" can't send or receive nor access my emails  - any ideas why and how to fix it!

    I can't access any functionality on my icloud email account on my I pad, all functions other than loading has locked up the last received email was a local government one. so I'm using my PC to send this. Any ideas how to unfreeze this account? Safari and all other apps seem to be working OK.

    Hi Jim,
    You may not have done anything but glitches happen when systems are old and if you are still on 10.3 perhaps it's time to update or upgrade a few notches.   Or are you on a different OS to your profile?
