Mail box not updating inbox

I have gmail set as my mail preference in mail and it's not updating the inbox. I'm wondering if and how I can reset the gmail account. Can someone also tell me if what's the purpose of recovery folder. It is full of the same message over and over.
Thanks

If you mean you want to rebuild your mailbox, that's at the bottom of the Mailbox menu. If you mean you want to delete and reconfigure your Gmail account, that's in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. As for your Recovery folder, I've never seen that on my Mail, but it sounds like your Mail tried to salvage a corrupted message.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Mail box not open

Mail box not open

i would suggest you do the following in order:
1) shut down, start again, then see if you can launch mail
if that does not help then
2) delete the com.apple.mail.plist file located in homefolder/library/preferences, then see if you can launch mail
if that does not help then
3) restart the computer, immediately upon hearing the restart chime, then hold down the shift key until you get past a screen where you may see safe boot written in red and until you get to the log in screen or to the desktop, then immediately after that restart normally, then launch mail
if that does not help then
4) do you have plug ins or input managers installed with mail by any chance? if so then disabled/get rid of them - these are located in homefolder/library/mail/bundles. i would look at growl, which has been know to trigger repeated crashes in mail.
let me know and hope this helps

Mail won't update inbox

This week, mail decided to stop updating my inbox on my macbook. My imac is having no problems at all so i know for a fact that there are messages in my inbox. However, my macbook just shows the spinning gear constantly and an empty inbox. I have two imap accounts that it is keeping up to date (i.e. subfolders that have recently been added too display correctly on the macbook), it's just the inbox that seems to be the problem. also, when mail is open, it uses a significant amount of internet bandwidth and bogs the computer down all around. suggestions?

then your Mail preferences could be corrupt. quit Mail and delete (or move to the desktop) the file ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. ~ means your home directory. you can get to it by clicking on the house icon in the sidebar of any finder window or by going to /users/username.
then start Mail. you'll have to recreate all your email accounts so make sure you know all their settings. once recreated they will recognize their existing mailboxes. see if Mail behaves after that.
Alternatively, if you have a backup, restore com.apple.mail.plist from backup from before the problems with Mail started. Mail should not be running when you do this.
yest another alternative is to delete the gmail imap account in mail preferences->accounts and recreate it from scratch. this might mean a large download though.

Outlook 2010 shared mailbox in cache mode not updating Inbox automatically

I have a user who has XP on his desktop, running Outlook 2010, connecting to a Exchange 2010 w/SP2. I recently added a shared mailbox for him to monitor. I did it the old way by adding additional mailbox to his client (outlook 2010) pc.. I understand
now that in 2010 SP1 or greater that you can simply do this from the exchange server by granting full access permissions. Either way, the user sees the mailbox and gets email in the shared mailbox ONLY when he clicks on the inbox and
clicks on Update Folder. For some reason it is not auto updating new email. His personal account works fine, meaning when a new email is received it comes in and you see new mail. The account is in cache mode and I've looked at other shared
mailboxs that are working fine and the settings look the same? I'm not sure why this shared mailbox is not updating?
William McConnell

I can see this is an old thread but I have a relevant question.
This workaround does indeed work but what else is possible to do? The cashed mode is more or less necessary when working with large shared mailboxes.

Mail boxes not being emptied

I get daily emails that I need to delete some emails due to full mail boxes. I have emptied all my mail boxes but still get the notices. What is the clue to get this corrected?

I am having the same issue, which appears to have started with the last firmware update to my iPhone. Yahoo no longer pushes mail to my iPhone, and the check every 15 minutes does not work - I have to manually refresh my email accounts to check for mail. This used to work correctly. I've had no luck finding answers online yet.

Yahoo mail folders not updated automatically

I have configured my yahoo mail box on the new iPad. I have a lot of folders in yahoo mail, which do not get updated with new mail on the iPad, like they do on the web. Is there any way to make this work?

Had same problem. Seems that a specific email is preventing loading. Was able to clear by going to Yahoo mail in iPad Safari and puling up and down on mail folder until showed all mail from today and back beyond the date of the stuck email date. Once email for the previously stuck folder showed all mail in iPad Safari, iPad mail app email folder showed all current email also.

Exchange mail does not update

I've update my mac to 10.8.3, but the exchange 2007 mail does not correctly update. I have to close mail and restart it, then the emails wil update.
Does anyone have this problem as well?

Bump.
Same continuing problem.
The simplest solution is to delete the mailbox and reinstall.
Not ideal.
It will be correct in knowing which emails are read or not, but it just doesn't remove emails on the N8 that have been deleted on the web page on the laptop.

Mail won't update inbox folder

When I receive a new email in Mail, in order for it to show I have to quit Mail and reopen it. Then the inbox icon on the sidebar shows the number of new emails and it doesn't show in the message list until I click on another folder and then click again on inbox. I'm using a .Mac email account setup. I'm not sure what to do to fix this or why it would be doing something like this? Thanks.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for all your help it's just unfortunate where that linebreak fell in the tutorial!
missing space:
... --mandir=/usr/share/man--sysconfdir=/private/etc/spam/clamav/new ...
should be:
... --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/private/etc/spam/clamav/new ...
Issuing the previously mentioned commands now gives;
sudo ps U clamav

sudo launchctl list | grep clam
net.clamav.clamd
net.clamav.freshclam
Freshclam.log is now showing the correct version but clamav.log and amavis.log still haven't changed.
You mentioned something about amavisd.conf is this why they logs are not updating and if so how do amavisd to log in the right place?
Thanks,
John

My mail will not update

I just updated my Hotmail account to the new Microsoft outlook but now looks like my Mac's application on my Mac will not update, and then it keeps asking me for my password than I type it in correctly and it says it's incorrect please try again when I go on the Internet it lets me in me and wants happening

are the ports and encryption type set acording to the mail provider?
if no test if it works with wifi because if it does then your carrier are blocking the ports required for receiving imap mail from the mail provider in question
