Mac mail not receiving or sending messages.

My mail keeps saying it wont receive my emails bc of an smpt server being wrong?
This happens often and it is really annoying. Right now it is just flat out not receiving email. What is happening?!?! How do I fix it? I need my email!

Sent mail not sent; .Mac mail not receiving

Having a real problem on several computers. First of all, my ISP assures me that they have not blocked any ports or changed anything about their network recently. And I too have changed nothing recently.
I am not able to send e-mail it seems from my .Mac account, although the messages appear in my Sent folder and I do not receive any error messages. I am not able to send messages to myself to confirm working order. It also doesn't work if I am working thru the web based .Mac e-mail. I have another e-mail address running thru Mail as well and it seems to send and receive e-mail just fine. Although using it to send my .Mac address a message does not work. I have tried to send my .Mac address an e-mail from another .Mac address that my wife uses to no avail either. Similarly my other non-.Mac e-mail address does not receive e-mail from her .Mac address either.
Its puzzling. When I take my wife's MacBook to a local free wifi hotspot all e-mails seem to work fine.

You need to determine if the issue is system wide or isolated to your user account on the computer.
Create a new user account by going to System Preferences>Accounts
Click on the lock in the lower left corner. Enter your admin password.
Click on the + sign and create a new user.
Go to the apple menu and choose the bottom menu choice to log out.
Log into the newly created user account.
Go to System Preferences and choose .Mac
Enter your user name and password in the fields.
Close System Preferences.
Launch Mail and it should be set up automatically and download your mail from the server.
Test whether you can send and receive.
If it does not work. You have a system wide issue.
Your best bet in that case is a reinstall. You need to make sure you don't have other issues.
Run disk utility from the Utilities folder, choose your hard drive, Verify disk.
If Verify disk fails let me know.
If Verify disk passes then repair disk permissions and you are ready to reinstall.
Do an archive and install preserving user and network settings then do a Software Update.

Mac mail not receiving

iCloud email coming into my iPhone and iPad fine. I can send from my iCloud account on my Mac, but not receive. This all went wrong on the 30th January.
If I delete my iCloud account entirely, I am assuming It'll all stay there in iCloud land anyway, so is that the best solution to maybe kick-starting Mail again?
If I disable the account try to create it again, it just enables the disabled one...
Thoughts from the great community welcome.
Pete

Hey Pete,
If you are having an issue with being unable to receive email using your iCloud account, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Mail (Yosemite): If you can’t receive messages
Mail in an icloud.com account is stored on the server - see this article -
Mail (Yosemite): email accounts
So removing such an account will not delete the mail kept in it.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

Mac Mail Not Receiving New Mail from Exchange

Hey everyone, in the last few days, I've noticed that my Mac Mail isn't downloading new messages from my company's exchange server.
I can log into the web-based exchange server and see new messages sitting there, unread. If I quit Mail and re-open it, it fixes the problem, but taking all of the accounts offline and bringing them back online does not fix the problem.
Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it? I'm thinking some cache might be full or something.
Thanks in advance

Same problems here. Glad I'm not the only one.
After looking at the Activity window, this is what it displays:
http://screencast.com/t/NWU4N2Q5M
The Connection Doctor just says that all accounts were able to log in successfully, so no help there.
After clicking on the Stop Sign icon beside the stuff in the activity window (which effectively "stops" that task it's beside), I can then right click and "synchronize" my Exchange account and it receives all messages immediately, including the inbox. It's a work around, but I'm not sure that just command+Q and reopen wouldn't be easier.
It appears that a receive action just freezes up, which is why a resync before you kill the first sync doesn't fix it and a quit+restart does. As a side note, I can send messages through Exchange just fine when this receive lockup occurs.
Apple, please look into this...you have a better mail client than M$, but at least theirs stays connected.

Mac Mail not receiving mail from certain sender

I'm having trouble receiving mail from a certain sender. I verified that they have my correct email address and I don't think it's getting filtered as junk because my junk mail folder is empty. Is there anything else that could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Mac mail not receiving mail timely - through the web or mac mail on computer

for the past few days - my email works in the morning - then all afternoon - I can not receive email... sending is fine... then at about 7:30 at night - it all comes through - what is going on... this is ridiculous.
Mac mail on the lap top
AND
through web server
none are working - come on let's get this issue resolved it IS a mac mail issue Apple - fess up and fix it.

mail goes into sent folder, there is a sound as normal, there is NO error message. i verify by send a copy to me or to my colleagues
A sent message moved to the account's Sent mailbox indicates the message was successfully sent by the SMTP server used to send messages with the account. If the message cannot be sent for whatever reason, the message will remain in the Outbox mailbox with an error message provided. A successfully sent message is no guarantee the message will be accepted and received by the recipient's incoming mail server.
EVEN using web based mac.com to access mail (from location(work)), i cannot send mail!
When using webmail access to send a message with your .Mac account at work, is the message sent as with the Mail application and placed in the account's Sent mailbox which indicates the message was successfully sent but is not received or does something different occur?
but Gmail works fine from location (work) both via Mail.app and via gmail web-based
Then try selecting Gmail's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account when using the Mail application to see if this makes any difference or have you already tried this?
i have used another Ibook to try both via Mail.app and web-mased mac mail from location (work) but also will not complete the send.
i have configured a PC outlook express at location (work) for mac mail and it will not complete send
i have used PC browser (IE) to access mac mail web based and it will not send from location (work)
Are the messages also successfully sent with the Mail.app and webmail access on the iBook and with OE and IE on the Windows PC but not received by the recipient?

Mail not receiving but sending

Is this iCloud related?

Is this POP or IMAP?

TS3103 Using Pop Mail; not receiving or sending emails

For some reason my PoP mail is not working even though everything says connected. I have had several friends send me "test" emails and nothing is coming through for the past couple of days. Furthermore they are not receiving my emails even though the mail shows "sent."

It's possible you need to login and change your passwords. The recent Heartbleed bug has required many users to change their passwords. Regardless it's a good idea to change your passswords at least once a year for security.
Open the Connection Doctor under Window when Mail is active.
You should see green lights to show accounts are connected.
You will see two entires for most accounts. One for sending (SMTP) and the other for receiving. iCloud accounts only show up as one entry.
If you see a red light you can select to Show Details button to find why you are having problems connecting.
Receiving is set in the main window for the account. Change your password then click out of the account to save.
Sending password is set in Edit SMTP. Select the account from the list. Under Advanced, add the password.
Note, sometimes you will find extra SMTP settings listed. Deleting an account does delete the SMTP settings. You can delete these.

Mail not receiving or sending emails and needs to be restarted

Many times a day my Mail program will stop sending and receiving mail. An exclamation mark appears by the inbox. Clicking the ! does nothing. The only solution I have found is to restart Mail and then Mail works correctly for a while. My service provider says all my settings are correct.
Any ideas on what I can do to cure the problem. Thanks!

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?

Mac Mail not receiving attachments properly

I have been using Mac Mail 4.4 w/ IMAP for the past year. All was working fine until yesterday. Seems that any attachment sent to me .jpg .pdf etc come in all scrambled as letters and numbers. This has happened from four different people. I can view my email via webmail, attachments are fine there. Has anything changed in the last few days to mail? Help would greatly be appreciated as Apple as said they don't support attachments...

This has been happening on my iPad as well please fix it apple

Mail not receiving new email messages.

The Mail application on my 2006 MacBook has stopped retrieving new messages. The Mac is running 10.5.8, and the Mail is version 3.6. I have not made any changes to the mail preferences in years. I have two email accounts configured: my Gmail as well as my university email account. Comcast is my internet provider. About a week ago, the incoming email was slow to update. I would click "Get Mail", and it would pull in only 4-5 emails at a time. I would re-click "Get Mail" several times until all the new mail was retrieved. But for the past 4 days, no new mail is coming in. When I click on "Get Mail", the wheel next to both accounts spin like they are working, but nothing happens. There is no error message given (such as "no internet connection"). I have tried the mailbox "rebuild" on both accounts several times, as well as rebooting the computer. (When in doubt, reboot!).
The outgoing emails I send from Mail are being received by the recipients, so I know the connection is working in that direction! The Comcast internet is working, and I can log in to my Gmail account through the web and view my emails there just fine. I'm also receiving the new emails on my iPod Touch. So, I know there are new emails, but they are not coming to my MacBook.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestions, BDAqua. Unfortunately, the new mail is still not coming in. I am still able to send mail out through Mail (I did another "test" mail to myself, then checked it on Gmail.com).
A couple of comments & questions (to make sure I was doing things correctly):
The "Connection Doctor" had all green dots. So, that all looks OK.
What do I do with the Mail folder and Envelope Index file that I had moved to my desktop during the Safe Boot? Right now, they are just still sitting on my desktop while in normal start-up mode.
When you said "redo to Rules", I moved the two files you mentioned into the trash. Is this what I was supposed to do? Should I "empty trash" to make sure they are gone?
After I ran through your suggestions once, I did the "safe boot" again and re-ran the Disk Utility "Repair Permissions". Of the things it found, none seem to be Mail related. But, just for kicks, I'll paste the results log below.
Any other ideas? I am able to get my mail through Gmail.com, so it's not the end of the world if I never get this fixed. Just annoying!

Mac Mail not downloading emails

Hello. My mac mail is not working. It appears to be an issue with the Exchange 2007 server. The only way I can access my emails is via Thunderbird (which stinks). Neither Mac Mail nor Outlook will download my emails.
Connection Doctor status: Mail was able to connect to the internet.
I see that this is a common problem for many other folks. Has this issue ever been solved? I have spent a considerable amount of time on forums, talking to Apple Support, and Google searching -- no luck finding a solution. Its very frustrating -- I am using Thunderbird to get me by for now. I have a new Mac, Lion 10.7.4.
Help!! Thanks.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!
Michael
