Mail activity show incoming mail, but no emails shows up.

3days ago my emails stopped showing up, though I am still receiving them on my Ipad. My activity shows that emails are coming in, they just aren't showing up in my folder. I have checked the connectivity Dr. And it shows green lights. I am not offline. I am out of my element so any suggestions need to be pretty specific.

Care to share which OS & email client you are using?

Mail.app pops up saying "Cannot get mail" but the emails are downloaded normally....

mail.app pops up saying "Cannot get mail: The user name or password for "iCloud" is incorrect", that is not true because i can log in on iCloud.com with the same credentials setted in mail.app. But the strange thing is that i can get the email! Let me explain: mail.app download the emails normally but when it check for incoming mail and there are no one, the alert pops up.
This is not a critical issues, i can get the emails anyway, but that alert is really annoying.
I've alredy changed the password of my appleID to a new one, but nothing changed.
Has anyone had the same problem and managed to solve it?

IPhone 5 says using 4GB of storage on mail but all emails are deleted?

Hi, recently my iPhone 5 has been asking me to create more storage and I noticed that 4GB of the space being used was on mail. I have 2 accounts a GMail and a POP3 - All of them are regularly deleted so there shouldn't be any real impact on storage - Can anybody help as to why the device is still saying I'm using that much on mail?
Thanks

I'm running into the same issue (on both my iphone's).
The one that is hit worst has 5,2 Gb wordt of storage for mail and no accounts in there (anymore).
How can we recouperate this space without doing a reset?
Apple, please advice.

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

IPad- on Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email. When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing. All the folders are emptied. All mail is either read, trash, or deleted.

iPad- on all Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email. When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing. All the folders are emptied. All my mail is either read, trash, or deleted. Also, when I tap on the mail app on iPad home page, gmail is no problem but for yahoo I get error: no password for yahoo. Go to Mail Account Settings and enter password. I'm stuck. Suggestions? Thank you.

Ask and you shell receive.....lol
Go to your Gmail account in the browser.
Hit the folder icon that brings up the folder selection.
Scroll down to the bottom and select desktop version.
The broswer will refresh and bring up your gmail account as though you were looking on it on the computer.
The go to the upper right corner and select settings.
Then go to forwarding and pop/imap
Go look at pop download
There you'll find 3 numbered lines
Go to 1. Status
And select enable pop for all mail
Then save the settings
Once you have done that you can go back to BlackBerry device settings and sync your mail or wait for it to sync it's self.
Let me know how it works out.
I just did it and it sync within minutes.

HTML emails are blank in OSX Mail - but they show up fine in Entourage!

I send emails to a subscriber list through a third-party system.
The problem is what OSX Mail does with my HTML emails! OSX Mail users get emails that appear to be totally blank. On further inspection, though, the emails are not blank at all—all the information is there if you go to View>Message>Previous Alternative. In "Raw Text", the entire message shows up, including the plain text alternative which was sent along with the HTML, and which was SUPPOSED to show up if the HTML did not.
Notably, I've tested these same messages using Entourage to receive them on my Mac, and the messages show up exactly as they should. Is Apple aware of this problem????

Since in general OS X Mail receives html just, there must be something about the format used by your 3rd party sender which it does not like. To make Apple aware of the problem, use the feedback channel and send them the raw source which does not display.

It's my mail content, and email is to me, but the "To:" field

Hi - this seems to me to be an odd problem, but I have an issue in mail - I use a pop gmail account -
It's my mail content, and email is to me, but the "To:" field on the incoming mail address is someone else's name... I've checked my mail preferences, my name and the correct email address is everywhere that it is supposed to be... I've logged on to my gmail account and checked all the preferences there, but still, incoming mail on my MAC is showing someone else's name ??? Why? What have I done now?
AArrghghg
thanks for any info you can give me on this issue.

Someone may have entered your address with the BCC: (blind carbon copy) option so the mail is sent to you but your address doesn't appear in the header.

Can I have multiple incoming servers for one email address on mail?

I am currently trying to connect my school email address to my Mail app on my Mac.
Unfortunately, it seems that when connected to the school network, I can't access the Microsoft Exchange Web sever, whether through any web browser or Apple Mail, but I can at home.
I have found the mail servers from the Outlook settings at school, so if I change the settings from the Exchange Web server (mail.xxx.co.uk) to the networked mail server (xxx-exchange.domain.local), I can access the emails through the school network, but when I come home, I then have to change the servers back, and then Mail tries synchronising and I seem to lose emails off my Mac, but they are still on the server.
Is there any way of setting up the account on Mail so I can access the emails from either server address, depending on my location, without having to do it manually?
Thanks in advance

I have 2 email accounts that come to my mac mail box. Can I set a Smart folder that all of one of the account emails will go and then set another Smart folder for the other email account?
you can but there is no need to do it. click on the little triangle next to your inbox. it will expand and show the inboxes for each of your accounts.
If so, can someone tell me how to set it up?

Pdf attachments do not come through on iCloud mail but they do on other email accounts on same device

I have several email accounts set up that appear on all my devices: iMac, iPhone and iPad. I use 2 email accounts for work purposes, and good thing I use two. I receive pdf attachments in non-apple email accounts, but the same email sent to my iCloud address comes through minus the attachment and shows only "winmail.dat". I am using the same device to read the email from the different accounts, but the problem is consistent with all my apple devices. This has to be a setting in iCloud mail but I can not figure it out. Please help.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
If the basic troubleshooting steps don't work, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

Names are associated with email address in Mail but not in Contacts. How do I fix this?

When writing a new email if I begin typing someone's name, it automatically starts showing matching first and last names and email addresses. So if I start typing Bob it'll start showing matching contacts and have selected by default Bob Doe <[email protected]>.
This is great in Mail but in Contacts it doesn't work.
If I start searching for Bob, there are no results. Instead the only result there is the email address. So I have to know my contacts email addresses instead of their names when I'm dealing with Contacts.
Is there a way to sync Mail and Contacts or something so Contacts gets the associated names of the email addresses?
Thanks

The same thing is happening here since the 10.10.2 update but as yet I can't find a solution but I am hoping it's an Apple problem that will get sorted out.
Eventualy.

My mail.app is downloading my mail but it is not showing in my inbox

My mail.app is downloading my mail but it is not showing in my inbox. I have read about deleting the com.mail.pfile to resolve this but the file doesn't exist. Anyone else ever had this experience?

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.

TS3899 I use outlook for my email on my home computer. I bought an iphone 5 and is set up for mail, I am receiving e-mails but they are not sending.

I use outlook for my e-mail on my home computer. I bought an iphone5 and set up mail I am receiving e-mails but cannot send. Not sure what my outgoing mail setting should look like on my phone.

When you set up the email account on your iPhone you probably did not set up the outgoing mail server correctly. Incoming and outgoing are two separate sets of settings. You need to set up both, and also enter your username and password for both.

When entering time machine with Mail app, old emails are showing in inbox

Hi All,
Has anyone encountered this issue or has a solution:
When I am in Apple's Mail application, specifically in my inbox and I "Enter time machine", my inbox count goes up by at least 100 extra emails and is showing in all recent backups and even in the "Now" setting. Old emails that I've already read and deleted/dealt with are showing up there and I'm not sure why. When I exit time machine, it goes back to normal and they disappear. I would like to have it accurately reflect what my inbox looks like now and the last few days. Any suggestions are much appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

I've tried what you suggested with all the steps, but additional emails are still showing in inbox in "Star Wars" mode. Also, many of the old emails showing are from over two years ago. Very strange!
