MAIL account isn't able to receive new mail.

MAIL account decided not to receive any new messages a couple of days ago after working seamlessly for three years. MAIL still comes through on my IPAD. I have tried shutting MAIL down. And, I have tried rebooting. I have checked my account settings. All good. Any ideas? Has it to do with a bandwidth problem do you think? My IMAC and IPAD connect to the internet via an Airport Extreme router.

Hello Kenfromsk and MangoN,
I have managed to resolve the problem of not being able to received my AOL e-mail via Lion Mail.
It was quite drastic action so please save any e-mails that you have on the Mac rather on the e-mail server. All of mine are on AOL's server.
The solution I found was. Firstly shut down Mail then via Go to Home (in the drop down menu) then Library and find the Mail folder.
Deleted all the files within the Mail Folder that related to your e-mail provider, in my case AOL. Do not delete the Mail folder itself.
Once you have done this re-launch Mail and let the mail assistant take you through re-establishing your e-mail account.
It worked for me and I hope it does for you. Please let me know how you get on.
Best Regards,
Maurice 49.

One of my POP mail accounts stop receiving new email

I have done everything that other postings say (remove the "AlreadyDownloaded) but I can only get emails as of Jan 9, 2006 and no further.
I can send emails, but Apple Mail won't retrieve newer emails from my server.
I checked and I can see/seend/receive emails from a webmail, even Entourage works fine.
What can I do?

I meant to say "stopped" receiving new email...

How come none of my email accounts are receiving new emails nor are they able to send or save emails?

Long Delay to Receive New Mail

I have the iPhone 3g and I set up a MobileMe account and I set up my phone to push my e-mails. But, I had an issue where I received two e-mails on Monday, but they didn't show up in my phone till Wednesday? What? How could it take my phone 3 days to recognize a new e-mail? Luckily they weren't important, but still...anyone else have this issue?

Able to receive but not send mail

since moving to a new web host, I'm able to receive mail via Mac Mail but unable to send.
Is anyone else having this type of problem?
OSX 10.9.4
Mac Mail 7.3
web server
Linux
Apache 2.2.26
PHP 5.4.26

Please see if the Apple mail troubleshooting support article resolves this misbehavior.
Sending is the SMTP path, which is the one that nobody new to mail can find — mail uses POP or IMAP for receiving, and SMTP for sending, and there are separate settings, servers and login credentials for each. To get to the SMTP settings, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the failing account > Account Information > select Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to Edit Mail Server List > select the SMTP account > verify the settings for the server, that SSL/TLS is enabled (usually) or not (rare), and that your username and password are correct. Like the POP or IMAP settings, these SMTP settings and credentials are also specific to your mail ISP, which means I don't know exactly what the required settings are here.
With the way that mail pops up that infernal "do you want to cause yourself grief by changing your password?" dialog box on transient network errors, it's very easy to get an incorrect password set, too.
I'm not sure why you've listed web server, Linux, Apache and PHP in your posting.

Mail hiccup? 2 to 3 times a day don't receive new mail unless quit & reboot

Sometimes I won't receive new e-mail messages in my INBOX, my Treo tells me I have new mails. I have to quite mail to see new messages. I've heard this is a mproblem with mac mail, anybody know how to fix it?

I've been using the Mail.app for a very long time and I've never had this problem. Where have you heard this? This problem isn't reported here in large numbers if at all.
For what type of account - .Mac, IMAP or POP?
What is your time interval setting for automatically checking for new messages?
Before quitting and relaunching Mail, have you checked if the account is offline which can occur when there is a problem communicating with the incoming mail server for an account which isn't necessarily a Mail.app problem.

When I pre ordered my iphone 6 i was told I was going to get an additional 1 gig of data per month for a year. It even shows it on the receipt i received with the phone. When will I see that reflected on my account. I have had my new phone for a week and used tons more data than usual and am hoping that will save me this month.

concretedonkey, I'm glad you were able to take advantage of this offer when you ordered your new iPhone 6. I can certainly review your account to ensure this was added for you. Please reply to the direct message I have sent you.

You have now exceeded your iCloud storage, including an additional amount provided to allow you to continue receiving email. As a result, you will not be able to send or receive new email messages with your iCloud email address until you free up storage space or buy more storage. I have 20GB remaining. WHat is the issue here?

Today I received the same message but have 4.6gb available from a total of 5.0gb. I also received the same message when i first set up my icloud account and icloud was virtually empty. Unfortunately the only way i can see to contact apple is to pay for a telephone call. If anyone knows what is going on i would appreciate knowing.

How do I only receive new mails on iPhone

So, I have succesfully set up my hotmail account on my iPhone. The only problem is that I receive my oldest mail first and since I have like 2000+ old messages in my inbox it will take a while for me to get to my new messages.
Is there a way to set up the mail program so that it only receives new mail?
Thanks
Message was edited by: Skibsted

The iPhone's email client includes no such setting and I'm not aware of any email client that does.
Utilize another mailbox or mailboxes with the email client used on your computer to transfer some of these messages to that you want or need to keep.
