MacBook not receiving .mac emails

I have set up the mail programme to receive my .mac account emails as I have done with other laptop and desktop devices in the past - but for some reason emails are not coming through to it.
I have the right incoming and outgoing servers set.
Can anyone throw any light on this problem?
Thanks
Peter

Hello Peter.
Did you create your .Mac account as a .Mac type
account on your MacBook?
Any error message provided when the account checks
the incoming mail server for new messages?
Hi Alan,
Thanks for replying.
Yes I set it up as a .mac account in the normal way. I am not getting any error messages when it checks for mail, just no mail comng through. I have set preferences to check every minute etc... and I have sent test emails through, which are being recieved OK on my other mac devices

You might consider posting this in the correct forum. this one is for iPads.

.Mac account not receiving all emails

I am not receiving all emails to my main .Mac account. I do receive emails and would never known there was a problem until people started calling to find out why I haven't responded. I have a main .Mac account and two alias accounts, but the address that the emails are being sent to are my main account. Any ideas?

The junk mailbox is empty. I checked my preferences and disabled it for now to see if that will make a difference. I do have some Rules set up to filter known "sales" emails to delete or change the color but I have not set up any rules to move or filter from friends.

Can not receive Mac mail -error Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct. Account name: "MacMail"

What are the correct mail account settings and more importantly the correct DNS settings
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

Not Receiving Test Emails

One of our clients is trying to send an email campaign however they are having trouble sending the test email. They are sending it to themselves and see the confirmation alert that says "Success, test email sent" however the email does not arrive in their inbox.
I have tested this on my system and have the same trouble. I have tried on PC and Mac, Tunderbird, Gmail, Yahoo and my client uses Outlook on Mac) - nothing. I have checked my clients webmail account and nothing there either.
I have also created a new test email campaign and still not receiving test emails.
Can someone please look into this - I have submitted an urgent support case but have not heard back. My client is not happy and needs to send theor campaign IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!
The site is www.angeldesigns.com.au

Hi Mary and all,
The issue related to email campaigns and other system emails has been resolved. However, there is a large number of emails in the queue, so sending might be delayed.
We have not had any issues with the email service Mary, so I'm not sure what problem is your customer having at the moment. Can you please give us more details about what is the problem that your client is experiencing?
As for the green buttons, they are for website rendering and the email service and they are updated automatically based on the system monitors. They don't reflect the email campaign status, which is updated manually. However, I'll work with the team to have the layout changed so that it's cleared.
Thanks and please accept our apologies for this inconvenience.
Kind regards,
Florin

The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

opps. Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those. Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads. Problem still contintues. Any suggestions?

Folks,
even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
What else can be done to correct this problem?
Thanks and best regards.

I applied for the uptodate program to update to the mountain lion os x, but i have not received any email or response. what do i do?

I have applied for the free up-to-date program for the mountain lion os x upgrade. I received a tracking number too. How do I use this number to find out the status of my request? I have not received any email since the past 24 hours of my applicaiton.

It's hard to give accurate advise without knowing exactly which iMac model you have?
However, beware that your iMac must meet both Processor and RAM requirements.
OS X Lion - Technical Specifications
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Also note that while 2GB of RAM is the minimum requirment, you will be much happier with 4 GB or more.
RAM is a user upgrade, see > iMac: How to remove or install memory
Plus some great third party RAM suppliers are OWC (macsales) and Crucial

I am not receiving new email alerts on iphone 4s. I have powered down and also deleted the email account and reset all notification. I have to manually fetch all emails

Please help with new emails. I am not receiving new email notification. I have to manually fetch all emails. I have contacted Apple several times. I have powered device all the way down, reset me.com. My me.com account works great on Mac. Please help

So all email notifications were not coming thru...from any source. Talked to another Apple text and he advised me to shut down the multitask bar at the bottom. So far so good. Seems kind of strange because the problem had only started about a month ago. I've had the phone since August

Some receipients not receiving my emails!

I'm finding out that several business contacts do not receive my emails (sent from me.com), even though they appear in my Sent folder and there's no notification that the emails didn't go through. How do I solve this when I don't even know who is/isn't receiving my mail? Do a lot of businesses tend to block messages from me.com addresses? I'm using Mac 10.7.4 and my outgoing mail server is MobileMe (iCloud). Please help!

How do you know they are not receiving your email? Same logic. Someone must have told you they are not receiving your email. Contact these same people and ask them how they are being blocked.
Now you are adding the fact that you are sending bulk email. Someone may have reported you to their ISP or an ISP has determined that you are sending bulk mail to their clients. They then blocked email from your domain. Unfortunately such domain blocks hurt other me.com users. Once your domain or email address is on a block list, it does not matter if you send one or many html or plain text emails. They all will be blocked.
So as a bulk emailer you need to find a better way to send.

HT2736 I sent my wife a gift card amount was debited to my acc she has not received an email with a code I received email of a receipt of purchase

I sent my wife a gift card
She has not received an email showing verification code
My bank acc was debited
I have receives a receipt
How do I get the code

The purchase history on your iTunes account will only show purchases from the iTunes stores (iTunes, app store, ibookstore, Mac app store), not from Apple online or bricks-and-mortar stores.
Does anything show on your credit card ? If the email is genuine then it's possible that your and their email addresses are similar and that they gave the wrong id (or the store typed it incorrectly), it doesn't necessarily mean that anybody has access to your account.
For the contact, you will initially just receive an acknowledgement email, the proper reply may take 24 (possibly 48) hours.

HT201342 Why am I not receiving my emails?

I have been receiving my emails until recently and then they suddenly stopped. Why am I not receiving my emails?

Hmm... not much to go on.
Is your mac turned off? Not connected to the internet? Connection to icloud not on? Are we talking about icloud emails or some other service?

I am trying to reset my security questions, but I have not received the email with instructions. What is the problem?

I initially created my apple account years ago. I am trying to reset my security questions because my answers are continually incorrect. I pressed the link that sends reset security questions info to my alt. address, but I have not received the email with instructions. I have resent the email several times and checked both of the emails I have set up with my apple account to no avail. I have tried everything that is provided in the support article about the issue and my problem has not be resolved. I've even deleted my alt email from the apple account and then reassigned it and tried again, however, I still have not received the email. Without knowing the answers to my security questions, I cannot purchase anything from the iTunes store, which I have been trying to do.
I do not know what the problem is and I am asking for any resolutions. Please and thank you!

Go to the Apple ID Security site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or call the AppleCare support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team...either can help you reset your questions/answers.

Not receiving some emails from specific sender.

Hi.I just started getting the problem of not receiving some emails. I have not had this problem with the sender until yesterday. My sender is sending me emails from gmail, some with attachments and some without, to my comcast email and it's not getting through. It is just one specific sender that I know of. I narrowed it down to my comcast account because I had the sender send myself the email to my comcast address and cc me on my gmail address. I received it on my gmail account but not my comcast account. I use Outlook for comcast but I even checked the webmail on comcast with nothing there. I checked the spam folder also and it's not there. Please help, these are important emails. Thank you.

Same issue, as far as I know it is just 1 person. But I have no way of knowing. I also had them CC my Gmail and it went through to Gmail but not my comcast. I then had them use a secondary comcast email and it didn't go through. Comcast seems to be blocking this person for some unexplained reason. It's frustrating and so far has cost me $525 because they thought I was ignoring them. They are using my Gmail until I get it straightened out, so the financial loss shouldn't increase, I just hope others aren't having the same problem and I don't know about it.

Not receiving Alert emails in TFS Projects

Hi
When users in TFS are not receiving Alert emails for any of the notifications. I tried testing the email feature from TFS Admin console and its working fine (Received email)
We enabled the send email in GUI.. However when we try to verify in command prompt , it shows as disabled.

I was able to reproduce this with a desktop install of Team Foundation Server 2013, version 12.0.30723.0 (Tfs2013.Update3) and 12.0.31101.0 (Tfs2013.Update4).
The command-line help for tfsconfig configuremail says:
TfsConfig configureMail /Enabled:<true|false>
/FromEmailAddress:<email address>
/SmtpHost:<SMTP host name>
Changes the From: email address and the SMTP host used for Team Foundation
Notifications.
I was able to enable or disable email alerts from the command line by setting the Enabled parameter to true or false.
However when I ran the command without the parameter Enabled, it set the "Enable Email Alerts" checkbox to false, and then I got the message "Email alerts disabled."
Notice that this parameter is not mentioned in the
documentation.
This behavior seems to be a documentation bug or tool bug, depending on the perspective. It might be that the intended default behavior was to disable alerts if no parameter was passed. If so it needs to be documented.
However, the logical expectation would be for the command without parameters to just show its current Enabled, SMTP Server and Email From Address values. From this perspective this is a bug as it has an unintended and undocumented side effect. You might
want to report this at the
Microsoft Connect website.
