Mail.app not downloading email from one person

Hi
I am using Mail.app (v2.1) on 10.4.8 with a mac.com email address setup and am having problem receiving emails from just one person - that's right only one sender.
What happens is, the person sends the email and it arrives at the webmail interface (i.e. I can view the email using Safari) but the emails are not downloading to Mail.app like all others i receive, I have to login to .Mac webmail to read the emails this persons is sending to me.
At one stage while trying to solve this I had a "Rule" which would play a certain sound when email from this person arrives and Mail.app would play this sound but still didn't download the email.
I have tried synchronising the account and rebuilding the mailbox but am still not able to get Mail.app to download these emails.
Thanks for any help.

I have had the same problem for over a year. Certian senders using my .MAC account get stuck on the .mac server. After a few days, a few of the emails may get through. Other emails to my .mac account will get through.
For me, this started over a year ago when there was an OS update. I noticed it started on this Ibook then continued to all other MACs as the updates where made. I too have rebuilt the mailbox and synced the accounts.
Where you able to fix your problem?

Windows Phone and Windows 8 Mail App not sending email from Reply/Forward

I have recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. After a successful upgrade I configured the Windows 8 Mail app to also sync with Exchange (2010 in house server). On my Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 800) I have the same account configured.
This resulted in the problem that the Mail App and the phone do not want to send any emails that have been created by reply or forward.
The phone gives the following error:
"We weren't able to send this message, so we've put it in your Drafts folder. Before you try sending it again, you can check to see if the address is correct and that no attachments are too large."
The Mail App give the following error:
"There's a problem with sending messages from [email protected] at the moment. Check with your provider for more info."
If I create a new email there is no problem.
I have searched all over the internet for a solution to this problem, but could not find somebody with exactly the same problem.

I have exactly the same problem, but unfortunately no solution either... I'll be watching this thread, or post a solution if I find one...

Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts but the messages are in the server.

Hello, I'm having this problem. Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts. I don't know why but there're two accounts working so bad. If I click with the right button on the account and click to see the account details, I can see the messages on the server but not in inbox. I made a sync with this account and my iphone and then the iphone downlad the messages with out problems. Not my imac at work or my imac at home... what can be wrong?
Thanks.

For Gmail, this is normal, there is nothing you can do about it -- just type Mail AND Gmail in the search box to see threads discussing how Gmail works.
As for the other accounts, this shouldn't happen. I wonder if what you're seeing is just that Mail is ignoring this setting for mail that was already on the server when you started using it. I've seen something like this happen when playing with that setting, e.g. changing it from "After one day" to "After one week". Mail would just ignore messages that fell in the timeframe where the two settings could interfere and I didn't notice it until some time later, when Mail "forgot" those messages had already been downloaded and, being faced with them again, dutifully downloaded them as if they were all new.
I believe that, if you leave the setting however you wish and stop playing with it, then Mail shall correctly process any mail that arrives from now on. In order to manually delete old messages that Mail seems to be ignoring, you can invoke the Account Info window (this is probably what you meant when you said "I can delete messages individually"; if that's not the case and want more info on this, just ask).

Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi! I'm also having the same problem. I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider). We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November. Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her, I don't receive any of the texts that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it. They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone. Do I have an incorrect setting? I'm not sure what could have happened. PLEASE help!

Not receiving emails from one specific domain

Hi,
I'm having problems with not receiving emails from one specific domain @youmail.dk. It hasn't been an issue earlier, but I stopped receiving the emails late last year. For all I know this is the only domain there's a problem with - I don't have any problems with any other random domain.
There is no rules or anything like that set up, so I have no idea what the problem could be... There's no "failure to deliver" notification send to the sender either.
It doesn't matter if I check iCloud online, on my MacBook or iPhone...
Can anyone help me?
Nina.

Comcast Security Assurance manages email system security and should be able to help you with this. Call them at 1-888-565-4329 (from http://constantguard.comcast.net/dedicated-support/). They will probably want to know the IP address(es) and/or host name(s) of the sending email server(s).
The first-line reps at CSA are sometimes not so helpful. If so, be persistent, and keep at them until you get a satisfactory answer.

Why am I not getting email from one particular sender? .

Hi all,
Hope you can help because I am stumped. A few days after installing Mountain Lion (not that I think that necessarily has anything to do with it), I stopped receiving email from a particular sender. The email from this person is very important, so I've been trying to figure out what's going on. He is in my Contact list. I have received email from his successfully for months. We did some testing yesterday. I think the email is coming in, then being deleted immediately. I hear a little ding in the background when he sends me something, but it doesn't make it into any of my inboxes.
I have temporarily disabled junk mail filtering. I also can't find a setting that indicates to delete anything automatically. I am at a loss.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Sharon

Go to Mail Preferences, and click the "Rules" icon. Make sure there are no rules that move these messages to another folder (you can just uncheck the rules to deactivate them).
Also try searching for the sender's email address to see if it turns up - be sure to click "All" in the mailbox row after typing his address in the search box.
And depending on what email service you use, you may want to check to make sure there are no "rules" or "filters" in the web site - for instance if you use gmail, you can set up filters in gmail that "archive" a message before Apple mail ever sees it - the mail is still there, you just wouldn't see it in your inbox. The only way to fix it is to log in through the gmail web site.
Another possibility is that you accidentally turned on "threaded" mail view, which is extremely confusing if you don't expect it. Instead of grouping by date, the messages will be grouped by subject line - and if the person sending this message is replying to an old message of yours, it will continually group those new messages together with the old ones. Click the "View" menu, and check to see if the "Organize by conversations" option is turned on or off. Or maybe it's even simpler - maybe your mail is no longer sorted by date - what does it say at the top of the list of messages?
Of course there's alwys the possibility that he has the wrong email address in his contacts, so keeps sending to the wrong address over and over again. He should try manually typing your full email address, and not accepting the "autofilled" suggestion.

Not receiving emails from one sender

I have recently stopped receiving emails from @nytimes.com. I've received them for many years. They are not in my spam folder. All other senders are OK. Any help appreciated.

I have junk folder disabled, and I even created a rule now that is supposed to redirect any mails from the sender to my inbox, but still no luck
By the way, the sender I'm not receiving emails from is called Jagex, a games company.

Mail Can't Receive Email from One ISP

Yesterday morning upon returning to work, my Mail app was unable to receive emails from three accounts that are tied to the same ISP. (Other email accounts not related to this ISP receive mail successfully.) But on these three accounts, the little wheel next to the account name just spins and spins.
When I ran Mail Connection Doctor, I got the following report:
"Could not connect to this POP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL" checkbox in the advanced tab of Account preferences."
My current settings have worked for years.
Now, when I flipped over to a different User Account on my Mac and recreated the mail account, I was able to successfully download my email. That tells me that my connection to my ISP not being blocked by IT here at work.
I've tried rebuilding the account. I've tried taking it offline and back online again. No success. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

It's a risk if you're using POP3 mail. You can archive mailboxes to another location for safe keeping.
Or, just try adding new versions of the accounts without deleting the old ones (you can have duplicates, name them different so that you can tell them apart). If the new ones work, then you can just drag the mail folders from the old to the new and then delete the old.

Pre won't download email from one particular sender

This has not worked since I have purchased this phone with webOS 1.2.1.
Email sent from one particular email address will hit my POP server, show up in webmail, download to my mail client, but it never shows up on my Pre. Every other email that I receive shows comes in properly, except this one message.
Some of the troubleshooting I have attempted:
- Removing the account and adding it back to the Pre. Message will not show.
- Using webmail to forward the message to myself. The message does show
-Composed a new message with the same subject and body of the message and sent to myself. The message does show.
So it seems that it would be something with the sender, but if the Pre is just a POP client, then anything in the inbox should be pulled down.
Has anyone else experienced anything this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is another Email client open when this email comes into your webmail? If so the server will mark it as read and the Pre will not download it to the device. If I may ask where is this email coming from? ie hotmail.com, live.com, gmail.com. Please do not give me this persons full email address. I just want to see if we have other users with the same issue.

Please help. Mail will not download emails.

Please can someone help. Mail says that it's checking for email, but will not download anything, even though it shows that there are now 11 messages. This has been happening for over 24hrs. I have good wifi and 3G access and haven't changed any settings. The only difference in the last few days is updating OS via iTunes.

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Not receiving email from one domain

Hi,
I am running Exchange 2003 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 and suddenly starting having the problem of not receiving mail from one domain. All other domains seem to be fine, although seem slower to receive mail than normal. The sender of the domain in question does not receive any NDR or bounce back error messages, so they are none the wiser the mail has come through. I have checked the junk/spam, I don't have any filters which could be blocking the domain.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Hi,
Please enable the protocol log on SMTP virtual server to check whether the remote domain has attempted to connect to your exchange server to send email to you.
If the remote domain has attempted to connect to your exchange server, please check whether the message is received by the SMTP server. If the message has been received, please use the message tracking log or queue viewer to check whether the message stuck on the server.
If the message is rejected, you can use protocol log to gather further information.
If the remote domain does not attempt to connect to your exchange server, I think you need to work with the remote domain admin regarding the issue as other domains are able to send email to you with no problem.

Upgraded Panther to Tiger: now Mail won't download email from Sympatico

Hi there,
If someone wouldn't mind advising... I just ugraded my wife's powerbook from Panther to Tiger (10.4.9)... and even though her email settings are still the same (incoming server, outgoing server, etc.), Mail won't collect her email from the Sympatico site.
Do I have to get rid of her Mail prefs and re-boot? Or something? (if it's the former, which prefs exactly, and where are they?).
thanks,
Malcolm

You can always delete your account from Mail and re-create it... There are 2 kinds of account settings for a Sympatico account:
The "old ones" that have the same settings since Sympatico started 10 years ago:
Username: b1**##
Password: access password
Incoming mail (POP3): pop6.sympatico.ca
Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp1.sympatico.ca
Port server 25 for Outgoing (SMTP)
Port server 110 for Incoming (POP3)
The other Sympatico e-mail is the enhance one with MSN. The settings are differents and the authentification is different. Any new Sympatico accounts since June 2004 are on that new plaform:
Username: [email protected]
Password: e-mail password
Incoming mail (POP3): pophm.sympatico.ca
Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtphm.sympatico.ca
Verify that your server is set to requires anthentiation with agin your Sympatico e-mail and Sympatico password;
Both servers, Outgoing and Incoming, require a secure connection (SSL)
If you are not sure witch is what try to login online at: http://www.sympaticomail.sympatico.ca it will tell you if can upgrade to new enhance e-mail or if you sign in like a Hotmail account if you are already enhance.
I hope this help....
Cheers

Not receiving email from one sender

I suddenly stopped being able to receive emails from a particular company. Never a problem before with them. They get no kickback messages saying mail is undeliverable. My provider doesn't know why. Nothing in my Junk folder. Is there any way I somehow blocked this company? I don't get emails from anyone who sends from there company's email system. They get mine, usually; they can't even reply to ones I send. Any thoughts?

Hi, thanks Linc. Not exactly sure what you mean by quit your mail client. But, I did log on to my webmail service as you suggested, through the Cox website, and the email I know the company sent me yesterday was not there. So, I guess it's some sort of block at some point during transmission. Is there any way I can access or control whose emails I receive? I know I can designate Junk to prevent receiving future emails, just wondering if there's a way I can unblock something that may have inadvertently gotten blocked? Very frustrating. Thanks.
