Mac Mail POP Account Not Receiving Messages

Using Mac Mail, I am suddenly not receiving messages in a POP account. The gmail account I use is working normally. Under connection doctor both accounts are green. Help, please?

Same problem here since upgrading to Mail 7.1 (1827). All the settings are seemingly correct. The emails are marked as 'Read' on the server but are not downloaded.
The emails are also deleted a week later as set in preferences.
Thinking the emails may have gone elsewhere I used Spotlight to look for them. No success there.
Real puzzle and yet another glitch on the latest Apple Mail.
Come on Apple, get your act together.

  • Mac Mail POP accounts + iPhone

    Hello, and please forgive me in advance if this has been covered.
    I'm trying to sync all of my Mac Mail POP accounts to the iPhone, which at first seemed simple, which it was until on the Mac side Mail started to ask me for passwords over and over again... though on the iPhone side everything seems groovy.
    As a work around I've selected only the .Mac accounts to be synced for now.
    I'm sure it's an easy fix, just wanted to put this out there in case I'm doing something wrong

    Honestly, 'sync' and 'POP' don't belong together in
    the same sentence.
    You should seriously take a look at using IMAP
    technology wherever it is available, converting your
    POP3 mailboxes where you can. Mail service at .Mac is
    offered in both flavors, and you are far better off
    using IMAP.
    This is not an iPhone specific matter, as the POP3 vs
    IMAP issue comes up almost daily in the
    Mail & Address Book forum. You might want to
    browse or search it to learn why IMAP is the answer
    to those who seek to 'synchronize' mail content.
    thanks for your reply.
    What I meant by putting 'sync' and 'pop' in the same sentence was syncing the Mac Mail accounts, not necessarily the emails. I understand the difference between pop and imap.
    The point of my question revolves around what I've already stated. I'm not looking to argue about semantics, how many terms I've decided to use in one sentence, or a discussion on your opinion of pop vs. imap; just trying to figure out why all of a sudden Mac Mail on the host computer is asking me for passwords over and over again after hooking up the iPhone and attempting to 'sync' mail account information over.

  • HT4061 Emails not being delivered via mac mail - recipients claim not receiving

    A colleague and I have discovered over last 2 weeks issues with mac mail.
    Emails are not being received - but it appears to be RANDOM.
    We both use mac mail and have .me accounts.
    He sent a group email that I never received until 3 days later when another colleague NOT on mac mail replied to all and I saw that I never received original note.
    This colleague sent email to his attorney weeks ago -- and it was just delivered to his attorney's inbox YESTERDAY.
    The colleague has also send me a several SENSITIVE correspondences that he confirmed via phone last night that I have still NOT received.
    What is going on? is is a mac mail issue or an iCloud issue?
    Need some help to get this reported and resolved.
    thank you!

    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    For info, CP (Critical Path) has been in use for a few months now for the conversion from using Yahoo! mail servers.
    What version of Outlook are you using ?
    In the smtp setting, try removing @btinternet.com or @btopenworld.com from the username - despite what the online help might say.
    You might like to try port 25, with No security or SSL/TLS setting.
    Is it all emails that are failing to send ?
    If emails have been fine for years, do you know what the previous settings were ?
    As for disabling firewalls - this doesn't always help - as they can still block emails! What security package are you using, and have you checked the settings within that package ?
    Sorry for the extra questions.

  • Mac Mail 3.3 not RECEIVING certain attachments/java attachment?

    I normally get every attachment, outside of from the helpdesk at work.
    when it sends out a .pdf, I do not see an icon, or anything.
    if someone else in the list (on windows) detaches the attachment, then reattaches it and sends it to me, then I receive it normally.
    the support for the helpdesk product said
    you need to check in your email client "Leopard" whether its blocking the java attachments in the email
    but I can't find any options on that, then gave up knowing nothing about "Mail" on leopard when I asked for more information.

    Well, your helpdesk at work is absolutely worthless; apparently they know nothing about Macs or email, or they would have known that there are no such things as Java attachments, and certainly not as part of a PDF file.
    From my perspective, the problem is that whomever is sending these PDF files or other attachments is doing it from Windows, which uses a different encoding scheme than Macintosh, so you aren't seeing the attachment, even though it is there. The person who sends it to you must be re-encoding it to be compatible with the Macintosh encoding scheme. Of course, they could avoid this trouble by simply compressing these attachments into a Zip archive and emailing that, but that's probably too simple for them to consider.

    please help... what is happening!!!!

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • Why is Mail 6.2 not displaying messages from my Exchange account?

    Greetings,
    I have a new 13" MacBook Air running Mountain Lion and I'm noticing that most of the time my Mail inbox is not displaying messages from my work Exchange account; however, it does display messages correctly for my Gmail account.  I've included a screen shot of what I'm experiencing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Garry

    I have the same problem, as does a coworker. It happens, for instance, if I click on another mailbox (such as Junk) then go back to the inbox. Our company uses Exchange. Quitting mail usually fixes it. A rebuild of the mailbox will too.  Only happens on my Mac at work, not my Mac at home (connected via VPN).
    Another problem I have is with mail not syncing. Mail I have deleted from another device (such as on my Mac at home or my iPad) does not get deleted from my inbox at work. Sometimes they'll go away when I click on them. Other times they won't go away and the only way to delete them is to rebuild the mailbox.
    And lately I have had problems with attachments. Attachments sent from my Exchange account at work show up as .eml attachments in my iCloud account and mime attachments on my iPad or as a string of characters (20-30), not as an attachment. This happens whether sent from home or work.
    I have our IT department looking into the third problem (which is the most vital one for me).  I'll report the other two annoying problems and see what they can figure out.

  • Just deleted an email account in mac mail can i get the messages back

  • I can not receive messages and i can't send messages also if someone rings me it, it rings at their end and then goes to voice mail but nothing at my end

    Talk to your carrier.  Sounds like something is not provisioned right on your account.

  • Mail not receiving messages

    I just updated to Yosemite.  My Mail account can send messages but not received messages.  I tried creating a new account, but same result as my old account.  My wife has a Mail account identical to mine, except for her E-Mail address, and she sends and receives okay.  We have the same domain; just hers is [email protected]  Mine is [email protected]  The Connection Doctor successfully connects to both the incoming and outgoing mail servers.  The Activity Window shows:
          "[Don] Fetching new mail
         Preparing to retrieve messages...
    for a long time and nothing else.
    I did find the following messages in the System Log:
    11/08/2014 3:33:09.074 PM    Mail[393]    -[MFPOPConnection fetchMessages:totalBytes:] failed: Error Domain=MCMailErrorDomain Code=1029 "The attempt to send data to the server “(null)” failed." UserInfo=0x608000650b00 {NSLocalizedDescription=The attempt to send data to the server “(null)” failed.}
    Also I noticed in Mail is the menu Menu Bar>Mailbox>Get New Mail>Don is disabled, but Menu Bar>Mailbox>Get New Mail>Glenda is enabled.  Both accounts are shown being online.
    Finally, I tried my account on my wife's MacBook Pro and my mail was received okay.  So it has to be something on my MacPro.
    I've spent 2 days trying to resolve this issue without success, but I'm at a loss.  Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Don

    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for the name of the mail server you're having trouble with. Double-click one of the items and check the box marked Show password in the inspector window. You'll be prompted for your keychain password to confirm. Make a note of the user name and password. Then delete every "Internet Password" item in the search results. Quit Keychain Access.
    Quit and relaunch Mail. You'll be prompted for the account user name and password. Enter the information you noted earlier and check the box to save it in the Keychain.

  • Receiving an account not verified message on ipad 2, iphone 4, and pc

    I am receiving an "account not verified" message when I go to icloud on my ipad 2, iphone 4, and pc (all have ios5).  It requests I check my email but I never receive one.  My Appleid and password are correct because I can go to my itunes account and buy apps, music, books, etc.  How do Iv verify my account?

    This same problem is happening to me. I bought the Lion update, updated IOS 5 etc and no verification email ever arrives. I changed my apple id password, which had to be done by sending a verification email and that email arrived immediately. Its starting to become really frustrating and really disappointing from mac
    The verification email for icloud never arrives???? Someone help?????

  • Mail not receiving messages suddenly

    I have two email accounts on my original iPhone. I noticed tonight when I checked my email on my desktop that there were messages in both inboxes, but they were never received on my iPhone. When I push the circular arrow in the bottom left of the screen to get my mail it just keeps saying, "checking for mail". Usually when I go to my mail, I would notice that the mail was checked within the past hour or so (as I have set). But the past couple days it has not been checking unless I push the button to do so...but still not receiving messages. I tried to check the settings but couldn't get it to work. My passwords, etc. are fine. I just can't get messages. Is there something up with mail and the new 2.0 on the original iPhone? Thanks, Brian

    Hi all - I just did some experimenting, after also not receiving any mail on my original iPhone since the version 2.0 update. I manually deleted all email accounts on my iPhone. After this was done, I did a reset on the phone (held both buttons down until it did a restart). Then I re-synched the phone and in iTunes, in the iPhone synch menus, selected "replace information on this iPhone" with Mail Accounts checked.
    Once all the email accounts were cleared and totally reinstalled, it is working flawlessly again. Hope this works for you too!!

  • Disable Mac Mail Pop Up

    I don't wont to use mac mail becuase I use yahoo for email service. I won't be able send mail through mac mail using my yahoo account unless I upgrade. Which I don't see a need to do. I would like to disable the mac mail pop up. So when I click on an email us link it goes to my yahoo account instead.

    First off, I suggest you not post this kind of
    account info in the clear in a public forum for
    security & anti-spam reasons.
    Regarding the message itself, do you have the web
    mail interface for this account open at the same time
    you are using Mail to access the account? Have you
    logged out of the web mail version before using Mail?
    It sounds like some other client app or possibly the
    web mail interface has opened a session with the
    account & hasn't closed it, preventing Mail from
    setting its own lock with the server for its own
    session.
    Thanks. I just went into Road Runner and changed all the account passwords then made corresponding changes in the Mail Account passwords. This seems to have worked.
