Mail 3.6 stuck, wont receive mail

I am stuck. I open up mail and it begins to receive mail, but then resorts to receiving x out of 1021 emails until it gets to around 35 out of 1021, sometimes more sometimes less, and then the receiving rate gradually goes down to 0kb/s and then just sits there for hours, and maybe ticks over to the next email sometimes.
I have logged onto the webmail and deleted any large emails around the last email received from the server..
HELP!

Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
Is this a POP or IMAP account?

    hi I want to change your e-secret questions because I forgot the answers I have tried sending reset questions on my mail and I have not received mail
    New mail that I want is [email protected]

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

  • TS2486 My mail.app got stuck while accessing mails in outbox. I was using ipad 3.Any advice?

    My mail.app got stuck while accessing mails in outbox. I was using ipad 3.Any advice?

    Okay, I figured this out.
    A podcast in iTunes was not downloading.
    Apparently, ios5 will only download one thing at a time and so it sets up a queue that must include all and any downloads: apps, songs, podcast, all of it. So, a tip to anyone with this problem look through all apps that have a queue of downloading items and clear them till you can get your system running again.

  • TS3899 my iphone wont receive mail even my hotmail account

    why wont my mail receive in my inbox on my iphone ?? i need it to work because i am resetting my apple id password because it says it has been disabled !! it says i have 51 inbox but then when i click on it it has nothing there !!  please help i need my mail to receive to me !! 

    This is a Gmail issue.  The iphone doesn't make up the message that your username or password is incorrect unless gmail report that back when it tries to log you in.
    This is usually caused by two step verificaiton on a gmail account.  Since iOS Mail cannot get SMS enabled verification codes, Gmail has created an 'App Specific Password" system.  Check this out and see if you have created a 2nd password specifically for your gmail on your iPhone.

  • Cannot send mails via IMAP but can receive mails

    HI All
    Having Exchange 2010 SP2 on standalone box on W2K8R2-std sp1
    We enabled IMAP and POP3 for our user base who do not have Outlook or are facing issues with active sync. 
    mailbox gets configured however none of mails are sent via IMAP  they remain stuck in user outbox only.
    They can receive mails but can't send. we tried configuring same users on Outlook and activesync and it worked. 
    We were surprised with some mis-configuration at IMAP end but could't get to root of it. Any idea what could be an issue????
    for imap testing we tried Zimbra 7.2.3 on windows 7 pro, Windows Mail app in windows 8.1. IMAP in windows phone 8
    Have enabled IMAP and pop3 logging but couldn't interpret it.
    Cheers VP

    Hi vp89,
    Based on my knowledge, POP3 and IMAP cannot be used to send messages.
    E-mail applications that use POP3 and IMAP4 to send messages rely on the SMTP protocol to send messages.
    The connector for receiving e-mail submissions from client applications that use POP3 or IMAP4 is created automatically on every Hub Transport server.
    We need a Send Connector.
    More details in the following articles:

    Hope it is helpful

  • Mails not getting sent from Receiver Mail Channel

    Hi ALL
    I have a File to mail scenario , I see chakred flag in SXMB_MONI ..but mail are not getting triggred from the Receiver mail adapter..
    I gave the URL like this smtp://sxd123.abc.com
    and the respective E-mail ID's
    I dont see any message in the communication channel monitering also ..wht could be the reson.. ?
    Thanks
    Souz

    Hi Dominic,
    Since you are not seeing any entry in the communication channel (receiver), I think there is a problem with your configuration. Check whether you have used the correct channel (of type MAIL) in the receiver agreement.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Mail 5.2 won't receive mail.

    In Mail Preferences I'm trying to set the default reader to Mail 5.2 but it keeps changing back to Outlook 14.1.4. How can I stop this happening. I updated to Lion yesterday and can't receive mail. Sending is OK but nothing incoming. Any suggestions?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Mail.app 4.5 cannot receive mail using att. yahoo.

    Have MacPro OSX 10.6.8 use apple mail.app 4.5. Server is AT&T & yahoo. After 2 yrs. email suddenly stopped being received or sent. Cannot connect to server. AT&T review all settings as did Apple. After many attempts but actually no change in settings connection successful. Can then use but when log off computer overnight the next morning cannot connect to server. AT&T wants to sell tech package for $15 per month. No guarantee this will fix problem. Am desperate. Can receive & send mail at Yahoo & Mobile Me.
    Help needed badly & will be greatly appreciated.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    No, sorry. I eventually purchased Lion and this problem hasn't resurfaced for me. Previous to that, I used the web interface to manage my iCloud email. Clumsy and inconvenient, but was a lot more reliable than the hit-or-miss functionality of iCloud mail on Snow Leopard's Mail.app.

  • Mail delivery fail but still received mail

    hi
    i keep receiving 2 messages straight after receipt of the original which is readable..
    1st message: mail delivery fail
    2nd message: undeliverable
    i have no problem reading the original message
    regards
    kel

    This is a problem with your recipients ISP not delivering the email, or with Comcast in not sending it once it reaches their mail servers. You should check with your recipients to find out if they use the same ISP, and have them check with the ISP to ask why mail sent from a Comcast account is not being delivered.
    If this affects all your recipients (assuming there are many more than just the two you mentioned), then its a Comcast issue and you should call them and insist they make any necessary changes so everyone can receive email from you. If it only affects those two recipients, they would need to call their ISP and have them make the necessary changes.

  • For those new to mail with issues sending and receiving mail

    I was surprised that I did not see anyone referring to this amazing and invaluable tool, the Mail Setup Assistant:
    http://www.apple.com/support/macosx/mailassistant/
    This tool get's me through troubleshooting sessions more than anything else. Most problems are due to settings when it comes to Mail. Half the time issues with sending emails is just due to SMTP settings, sometimes you do not need to have Authentication for outgoing mail. Sometimes your password is just incorrect. Use Mail Setup Assistant it is pretty **** accurate I use it on a daily basis.
    Sometimes the settings are perfect and sometimes you just have to erase mail completely by doing:
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist pull.
    ~ refers to your home folder!
    Hope this helps!

    It is a very good idea, however many of us do not live in the USA, so cannot yet take advantage of this tool.
    Pity!
