MAC Mail - Sends Mail but mail never arrives at destination

Hi,
I have Leopard installed and am using MAC Mail for email. I connect to Virgin email servers for mail. Mostly this works fine, however I have found that sometimes I send email to contacts and it never arrives and never bounces back. I think it only happens when I click 'Reply' on emails. The addresses are correct and I never get a bounce back. Anyone had this problem?

Hmm…I see two problems here: one is that your profile says you're running 10.4.10; if that's true, then you should update to 10.4.11 immediately, and you're in the wrong forum. If that's not the case, you need to update your profile so it accurately reflects the specific version of OS X you're running. And FYI: there is no MAC Mail; it's Mac. MAC is an acronym for something completely different.
As for your problem, as long as the mail is sent, what happens to it after that is out of your control. It's possible that Virgin is experiencing problems with their mail servers to that some of these emails are deleted before they ever reach their destination, and it's also possible that the recipients' ISP is experiencing that kind of problem, but it would be rare. It's more likely that something in the subject or the body of the email you're sending is being flagged as spam and that the recipient or their ISP puts them into a Spam type folder or just deletes them before they ever reach the recipient. Since I don't know what kind of emails you send or to whom, I can't be sure, but I'd ask my recipients about this first, then my ISP.

When we returned from a weekend trip, both emails were working. The obvious answer [to me anyway] is that the problem was with Roadrunner, not our minimac. The chances of finding out what the problem was with Roadrunner are slim and none.

Yahoo Mail - see mail sending but it never arrives?

Please help. I have an upgraded Yahoo account that I pay for. Have had my phone about a year. My phone will not send emails. It shows them sending (whooshing away) but never arrive. I have deleted my email info and reset the account and it still is not working. I got around this for a while because I used a yahoo mail app that worked independantly, but now that is gone.
Am I just stuck seeing emails and not being able to reply or do I need to talk to yahoo?
Thanks a Bunch.

I found out what the problem was. I had set up email to delete and message that had verify in the message

HT2736 A friend gifted me something, but it NEVER arrived, he tried resending the mail 3 times, then tried with a different email, and still didn't work. WHAT!?

A friend gifted me the new single Super Collider, but I never got any e-mail or message at all. He paid for it, got charged to his credit card, and I received nothing. He tried sending it multiple times, without success, then he tried with a different email account of mine, which didn't work as well. We're both seriously ****** about this, but before ragin out in flames, is there any way to solve this?
Facts:
We have the same country store on iTunes.
Both my emails have an associated iTunes account (both same country as his)
I checked my mail everywhere I could, no spam folder, no trash folder, no main folder, nothing.

Mail Upgrade Failed. Launch mail assistant. Mail index damaged. Says it will repair when mail is launched but it never does repair it. Any idea why this is happening?

I downloaded Yosemite to upgrade from IOS 10.6.8. Mail will not work. It says the upgrade failed and to launch the mail assistant. Then the next message says mail index has been damaged. To repair it quit Mail. It will be repaired the next time you launch mail. However, this never works. I tried recovery and downloaded the software again but the same thing happened. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same thing happening. Everything else seems to be working fine, except i can't open my mac mail at all! it seems to be in a loop and won't let me retrieve any mail or even try to send mail before migrating, but it fails and then its back to the beginning and the same loop continues, so no mac mail working. I also came from 10.6.8 to 10.10

Lion Mail - no error but mail often doesn't send or receive until quit

Hi There,
After upgrading to Lion on two machines a couple of weeks ago, both machines exhibit an issue in Mail where there is no evidence that anything is wrong (no errors or offline notices or issues in connection doctor) but Mail doesn't send or receive any mail.
One machine was an upgrade over the top of a previous install and one was a complete erase, install 10.6, then upgrade to 10.7.
When we notice that we haven't rceived any mail for a few hours, we restart mail and messages suddenly send and a whole bunch arrive.
Details:
- 10.7.3 Lion
- Exchange server
Has anyone else seen this issue?
When I call our Exchange provider, they don't really have much of a clue when it comes to Macs so I'm hopping someone here has experienced and fixed this issue?
Cheers
Ben

Inexplicably, the mac mail program now runs flawlessly on my girlfiriends new iMac. Well, I did do one thing this morning that I had not done yesterday, and I suppose that could have fixed the problem. I ran MacJanitor, both the daily and weekly parts of the program.
Though I don't really believe I did anything to fix the problem, when my girlfriend came into the room early this morning to see how the repairs were coming along, I claimed full responsibility for making it work again. She was really happy and it has been a great morning.
Thank you one and all for you help.

.Mac Mail sends old sent mail arbitrarily

For some reason when I look at my Sent mail folder it shows old mail sent today. In other words if I look at my send mail folder and all the mail Sent Date mail says Today there's 1 or 2 pieces of mail that also says Today but I orginally sent it in May. If you look at the header of the mail itself there is no sent date. I don't know if these are being resent or its just a bug in the app. and shows it in my mail folder.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Andrew

You’re welcome.
It does certainly matter how the messages were sent because AFAIK .Mac webmail doesn’t set the Date header on the copy of messages sent that way that it puts in Sent. Neither Mail nor any other mail client can reliably determine the sent date of a message if that header is missing...
Messages sent with Mail have an X-Mailer header that says so when received. That header isn’t present in the copy of the message that Mail puts in Sent, but it can probably still be determined whether a message was sent with Mail or with webmail by looking at the full headers of the message (which you can see doing View > Message > Long Headers).
That said, it isn’t clear what your problem really is with the information you’ve provided. It could also be that you’re experiencing some index corruption and Mail is indeed resending some messages on its own. If you suspect that’s the case, you may proceed as follows.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all the mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

I upgraded my wife's iMac to Mountain Lion. When I try to set up her cloud connection to sync with her iPad and iPhone, it says it is sending a verification email, but it never arrives. Any way around this. Her phone and iPad seem to already be in sync .

When I try to set up my wife's Cloud account after upgrading to Mountain Lion, I click on the "send verification email" box, but the email never arrives. Her iPad and iPhone already seem to sync up in the Cloud, but no storage is being used. Any suggestions on how to get the account on her iMac?

Restrict E-mail sender in the Mail sender communication channel.

Hi All,
        My scenerio customers want to Email with attachment to PI server. I've successfull tested this scenerio without one open issue. Right now anyone having email id can send mail to PI server.
I want to restrict the senders list. Is this possible in the sender Mail adapter configuration.
Thanks,

Hi,
Its possible.
You need to configure 2 receiver
1)MailA
2)MAILB
in receiver determination.
then you need to route it based on Subject using condition in receiver determination.
Use the below XSD to create your sender mail message type
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

and use mail package in sender mail adapter.
Then your mail will come in XI in the above format.
then based on subject field you can conditionaly determine the receiver.
Message Protocol
u25CF      XIALL
In this mode, the content of the RF C822 e-mail matches the content of the XI message. The XI message is a multipart MIME message with a SOAP envelope as its first part. See also: Messages, under XI Message Protocol.
u25CF      XIPAYLOAD
In this mode, the content of the e-mail is put in the payload of the XI message. If you do not set the Use Mail Package indicator, the information about the sender (From), receiver (To), and subject of the e-mail is lost.

Mail sending double e-mails?

I've just noticed that when I send an e-mail, the progress bar show double ie, if I'm sending 1 email it says 'sending 2 of 2'. Does anybody know why?

I have the same issue. Not with all e-mail but most. I host all my own e-mail accounts on my own popserver.
I have scanned for trojans.
Have not heard from anyone that they get my e-mails twice.
If anyone knows what this is about, please let us know.

Mail sends two e-mails

Whenever I send an e-mail via Mail, it sends two e-mails instead of one. I remember activating read receipt on Mac via automator? Might this be the problem?

I suggest trying Eudora Mailbox Cleaner first.
All email clients have limits of some sort and the recommended size limit for a Jaguar or Panther Mail.app mailbox is 1 GB and for Tiger Mail, 2 GB.
Check Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 Mail: Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty.

Mail account deleted but mail keeps asking me to put in password

I have deleted a prior pop mail account from my mail program. Even though this account does not show up as one of my accounts in the preferences window the mail program keeps asking me to put in my password for the account. The server for this account doesn't even exist anymore. Any thoughts on how to get Mail to quit doing this? I'm using an iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and OS 10.7.5.

The server is probably still in your Outgoing Server list. See this thread:
