Mac Mail takes a lot longer to load messages than iPhone...

Hello...I've got a mac running 10.5.8 and an iphone 3gs with iOS 4.2.1.
The last week or so I have noticed that when I get an email (I have a mobileme account) I get the "buzz" on my phone...but I go check my mail on my mac, the new message isn't there, and won't show up if i hit "get mail"...and it won't come in for 5, sometimes 10 minutes after my iPhone gets it. Before I would get them at the same time on both...no idea what has changed.
Anyone have any ideas or solutions out there?
Oh and they are both connected to the same WIFI network too.

I just noticed your reply. I think it sort of resolved itself...I don't remember now. I think I still have a delay, but not quite as long...maybe a minute or 2.

  • Why does TestStand take so much longer to load a Vi from a LabVIEW prject than calling directly?

    I have done some tests where the same VI loaded from a LabVIEW project takes much much longer to load in TestStand vs calling the VI directly. The project file I'm using is large, and am guessing it tries to load all the files in the project into memory?? Any ideas on how to fix this? I would like to continue calling VI's using projects in TS but the load time can be ridiculous. Thanks

  • How long should it take iOS 6.1 to load on my iPhone?

    How long should it take iOS 6.1 to load on my iPhone? It's been 3 hours and it is stuck in the same part of the download.

    I now have the new phone. The order number is still not appearing on My 02.
    It turns out that when I bought the phone, it was assigned a new sim card/telephone number. Now there are two phone numbers on my o2 account - the one I use, the one that came with the new phone.
    The order number is appearing under the new sim card's phone number, not the one I intend to use.
    Hopefully, O2'll be able to update the order and link it to the telephone number I use. It's not a major problem (at all) but I'd rather have it connected to the number I use than a random number that came with the phone.

  • Why do the mac updates take a ridiculously long time

    why do the mac updates take a ridiculously long time? 10 hours? this is ridiculous - my ISP is 40mbps

    Which updates were you trying to get? If you are going to a very busy web site or server, the connections could be extremely slow. But to wait so long invites troubles.
    If the machine is terribly slow, that should be an indication some maintenance or repair may be needed first. Some keyboard shortcuts can be used to check and attempt repair, and the problem likely is in the Mac.
    Everything from the amount of RAM installed, to the total capacity of the HDD (or SSD) vs free or unused space on the drive, is important to the function of the OS X. Or there may be an issue, if the OS X checks out OK, in the internet connection. If you use wireless mostly, check the connections by wire instead.
    Try to not get into a position where you end up using 'force quit' if the computer appears to freeze up. In the process of an update or upgrade, that's almost never a positive outcome.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7.

    FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7. Can anyone suggest a solution please.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == yesterday for no apparent reason.

    I had this problem once before, And now again.
    The only thing I did different, was Instead of shutting down my computer, I click on Log off User.
    Ever since then I have noticed windows XP is taking longer to load, and so is Firefox.
    Hope this clue helps.

  • Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!!  How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

    Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!!  How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

    We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
    As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone.  If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!!   And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

  • My mac mail tells me there are 168 incoming messages but then only receives six

    My mac mail tells me there are 168 incoming messages but then only receives six
    I'm using the latest version of mail but not very good in dealing with computer problems.  My email supplier is Bt Internet.
    Can anyone help

    I have seen something similar once. A message on the mail server was corrupted and the download would never complete, but would always start the next time I launched Mail. It was the oldest message, so Mail always started with it, blocking all other mail. Deleting the file on the server was the solution. Don't know if that fits your situation. Good luck. BTW, I called my ISP's tech support and they watched the server's actions and could see that the file was not actually transferring. Give yours a call.

  • My mac mail on just keeps sending the same messages even after deleted and shows thousands of emails supposed to be coming in

    My mac mail on just keeps sending the same messages even after deleted and shows thousands of emails supposed to be coming in

    If you have a backup, you can restore the e-mails. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Library/Mail/V2.

  • HT2500 Mac mail macbook pro 10.6.8 receiving messages hear chime but no mail notification. cannot see or open

    Mac Mail. receiving messages. I hear chime. Cannot see notifications in inbox or mail icon in dock. Thus cannot open messages. Macbook pro 2009 10.6.8.

    Hi Softwater,
    Thanks for your kind and swift response.
    It's not the recent e-mails which I'm worried about.
    They can stay on the server until I've resolved my OLD e-mails, 99% of which are long deleted from their servers.
    I'm deliberately keeping Mail offline until I've retrieved my 20 year e-mail history, all of which has been put into sub-folders within sub-folders within sub-folders.
    I've got to get my e-mail history back.
    Thanks.
    Best,
    Michael

  • Force Mac Mail File/Save As to use Raw Message Source

    Mac Mail version 6.3.  When using File/Save As, is there a way to force the save as format to be "Raw Message Source" always?  I change it to that, but over time it seems to switch back to Rich Text and I know I didn't change it.

    Thank you.
    I saved the email as Raw in a folder on my desktop, then went to file-import mailbox in mail, and tried to import it. I got a message that it saved to an import folder in the mailbox list, but there is no such file. I tried making an Import folder and import it again, but it did not work.
    Then I tried saving as Plain Text and Rich Text Format. I got an error that No valid Mail for Mac OS X files were found.
    I have SpamSieve, could that be a problem?
