Mac Mail not Retrieving Mail

I've recently transferred my site and mail to BC but I can't get Mac Mail to download the messages.
BC Webmail seems to be working, so I know the mail is getting through to the address, but its not being downloaded to my local computer.
The settings are simple enough and I believe I've put them in right. Mac Mail does not generate any errors when it asks for mail.
I'm running the latest Mac OS and mail software -
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks

Yes, both of those were set. Here are screenshots...

Not retrieving mail

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows why my iPhone is not retrieving email today. It has never had an issue before, but today it is not retrieving mail. It also would not get into the App Store yesterday. I have heard that there has been speed issues lately, but....

Nevermind I deleted some messages and it works all of the sudden.

Since 7.1.2 mail does NOT retrieve mail in background and notify

After updating to ios 7.1.2 and having to do a complete reset and restore from backup, mail does NOT retrieve mail and notify me that a new message has arrived.
In the past (and with every version of the OS until 7.1.2) mail would vibrate when a new message arrived - I did not have to open the mail app and wait for the download.
What is the fix? In the past, mail was not in notification center - I don't want to see a badge or other on screen listing of the message that has arrived, only have the phone vibrate when a new message arrives.
Thanks.

Of course - have an open case with Apple support as well. Co-workers are receiving notifications, IOW, when mail is received their phone will buzz (if in silent or vibrate mode) or ding or similar.
I have to actually open the mail app and only then will it grab email and 'notify' me it's been received.
And yes, configuration is set to push - meaning the e-mail server will push it out to the clients immediately,

HT204053 How do I set up my Mac to auto retrieve mail from icloud?

How do I set up my Mac to auto retrieve mail from icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't get your mail to work on Snow Leopard after June 30, you might want to try one of these approaches
1. Configuring Mail in Snow Leopard
2. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

Can I set-up mail to retrieve mail ?

Can I set up my mac mail to retrieve mail from my Yahoo mail account then delete the maill from yahoo mail but keep the mail on my PC? I us to be able to do this with Outlook mail but I am now using the apple mail that came with my PC.

That would mean that you have the Yahoo maill account configured as an IMAP or Exchange account. What you describe is how IMAP/Exchange works and can't be changed.
Maybe:

My gmail account is not retrieving mail and I can't even move move the screen

Yesterday, my "Itouch" stopped retrieving mail. I can not even move the screen. All other apps work fine except for the gmail.
What am I to do?
Thanks

I would try going to the settings app, then go to mail, contacts and calendar. Removed your gmail account and then re-add the account.

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 in continuous "Synchronizing with Server" (all mail, not just Mail.app)

Since upgrading to 10.9 Mavericks, Mail (Apple) continually syncrhonizes with the servers. I have a plethora of folders stored via iCloud (IMAP). When it gets to the end, there's a short lull but, if I do anything else, the process starts again. (Viewable via Mail's Activity Window (Cmd-Opt-Zero).)
It always synchronizes of course, but it used to be in the blink of an eye, and (seemingly) not each and every folder.
I thought it was a Mail only issue, but I downloaded Airmail from the Mac App Store to give it a whirl, and the problem is the same: it synchronizes with the server continuously. As with Mail, when it gets through with the last folder, there's a pause, and it starts up again.
When it was assumed to just be a Mail.app issue, it was one thing, but now it appears its a universal mail issue. I've done some research, and I know Gmail users are feeling the pain, but I don't have Gmail -- my only account is my mac/me/icloud one.
Some have suggested it's a bug with Mail, but wouldn't my issue with Airmail rule that out? Others have posted that the issue is with Spotlight and how it indexes mail messages for search. (FWIW, I've unchecked "Mail & Messages" in Spotlight but it doesn't seem to have helped the issue.)

I don't know if this is the exact same problem. I sync my Gmail and my iCloud mail accounts on the Mail program. Since upgrading to Mavericks, whenever my Mail program is being used, it is constantly notifying me about VIP mail in my mail box -- over and over again, the same mail items. It's annoying, and I assume this pointless activity is also affecting performance at the margins. How do I shut this off but still get notified when I get NEW mail from VIPs?

Mail not receiving mail and refuses to quit when prompted

When I open Mail, it seems to work fine. It receives all messages from the server without any problems; however, a few days later I notice that I don't get any mail from the Mail.app. However, I know I have been getting e-mails because of my iPhone and the Gmail Notifier.
I try to quit Mail when this happens, but I have to force quit the application. Mail does not stop responding. It just doesn't quit. There are no error messages. It just doesn't receive mail after a while and won't even if I press the "Get Mail" button.
Thank you in advance for helping me out with this.

I have this same problem as well. Mail will work fine for a few hours then it will get "stuck" on downloading a message. I never gets unstuck and I can't quit mail or the activity of downloading the mail - thus I have to force quit the app several times a day. It will also occasionally tell me to rebuild the index, which I do, but it only seems to help for a couple of hours until the next message gets stuck while downloading. Mail.app ran fine up until recently.
The only thing I can think of recently is that I have been on some sites that say "if you visit this site it may damage your computer" - I never downloaded anything... can malware be added to you computer just by visiting a site via the safari browser? I ran a malware/virus scan and it found mostly windows malware/viruses in old archived email attachments. Any ides?
FWIW: I'm using POP accounts and keeping them on the server for 1 week

Mail not showing mail

Hi,
My Mail has been working great.. until i bought an iPhone4.
I don´t know if this is the reason, but when i synced my iPhone from iTunes my mail account only shows
NOTES.
I deleted the mail account (my schools mail, imap) and reconnected the mail accounted. Mail started showing my mail again, after a few days the same thing. only notes.
interesting is that notes do sync AND the account is showing that new mail has arrived (the blue ball) but no matter where or what I click can I get the account to show my mail.
Thank you all for any tips or similar problems you can provide discuss. Thank you
/Daniel Hilli

summer14, In case you haven't resolved this yet.
polzbert's solustion is excellent, assuming you have a backup drive using Time Machine. However, did you try rebuilding the inbox? If not, here's how:
Select the mail box that's giving you trouble in the left pane of Apple Mail. Then choose "rebuild" iunder the Mailbox Menu Item. This has resolved countless mailbox glitches for me in the past.

Yahoo is your mail provider and IAF is the sender. I recommend to contact those again, especially IAF. Perhaps they see a bounce of the mail. Because this is rather important stuff, you have to convince IAF to provide the temporary password by phone or postal mail.

Apple Mail not marking mail as read after being read on iPhone

I'm currently using my Gmail account (IMAP) on both Apple Mail and on my iPhone. When I read mail on my iPhone, Apple Mail doesn't change it read mail, even after several hours, but it is changed on the server. How do I change it so that it syncs mail status?
When I read mail on Apple Mail, it gets marked as read on my iPhone.

Check the account settings with Outlook which should reveal how you created and are accessing the account with Outlook.
If you used the Gmail account preset when creating the account with the iPhone's Mail app, the account was created as an IMAP account.

Mail on Mac Pro not downloading mail sent from iPhone

Hi.
I have a gmail account set up on my Mac Pro and have just added the same account to my 3G iPhone. It all works fine except any mail I send from the iPhone doesn't appear on the Mac Pro. In Safari everything shows up on gmail. A copy of the mail sent from the iPhone even ends up in the sent mail folder, but nothing on the Mac Pro.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
