Mail does not receive messages

I transferred all my data to a new iMac with Lion from my old iMac with Snow Leopard, and the Mail settings did arrive correctly. But I cannot receive any mail from either of my accounts. I tried connection doctor, and even though the receiving button for my home email was slow, it did finally say it connected. Mail is coming all right to my old iMac.

Check System Preferences - Security / Firewall.
If the Firewall is turned on, turn it off to test.

    i do alse receive from gmail....
    please help... what is happening!!!!

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • TS2755 My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.

    My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.
    I can use my ipad to send messages, but it only moniltors the ones i send with the ipad. All the other messages I get on my iphone are missing.
    Any idea why?

    "The bubble in the green background" indicates the message was an SMS (cellular text) message.  If the background were blue, it would mean the message was an iMessage.
    The difference is important.  Your iPad is not a cellular telephone.  It cannot send or receive cellular text or MMS messages.  It is, however, an Apple device which means it can communicate using Apple's iMessage to/from other Apple devices (typically over WiFi).

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • Mail will not receive messages

    Shortly after installing Security Update 2011-005, Mail stopped receiving messages on all three of my accounts (two Gmail IMAP accounts and one Microsoft Exchange 2007 account).
    Mail will seemingly download the messages and show progress in the lower left display panel as usual, but even though it appears as though the messages were successfully downloaded they never appear in my inbox.
    I've checked all the account settings, but nothing seems to be wrong..
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Naomi

    I would recommend removing all three account, although you could probably do it one account at time, and then adding them back.  Since the messages for all three account reside on the server, nothing will be lost.  With the setting to Keep copies for Offline viewing, it will take a good bit of time for all messages to again download to the computer, so I would change to not keep copies for Offline viewing -- you can always change that later.
    The problem may simply be with indexing the mailboxes to display these messages, and this will correct that, if so.

  • IChat does not receive messages after a few hours

    I always leave my computer on at night since I often get chats from overseas that I don't want to miss. Ever since I have started using iChat 5, these messages never arrive at my computer anymore. I am also using it in conjunction with AIM on the iPhone. Could that be causing the problems? Ususally the chats arrive on both iPhone and Mac.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    This can be a case of sorting out whether the computer Sleeps,
    Whether it is receiving Off Line IMs,
    and How your Forwarding was set up.
    Use this page to Login to AIM
    https://settings.aim.com/
    Once you do that it should return to this page but will have your Name on it.
    At that point you can check the Off Line IM status.
    If you computer sleeps then ichat may well start faster than the computer reconnects to your LAN - in which case iChat does not login again.
    This may mean it is "Missing" IMs when technically iChat is Off line.
    I have never set up forwarding but you might have to check device order priorities. If the Phone is Off does it default to the computer ?
    Is it supposed to be gong to Both ?
    On that Settings page they call it Mobile (rather than Forwarding).
    Hope this give you some ideas about where to look.

  • After installing Lion mail does not receive emails

    I have just installed Lion and Mail is not longer receiving mails. These are arriving on my Blackberry and iPad. How do I resolve this problem?

    You most likely need to open Mail>click on the word "Mail" in the Menu bar> click on "Preferences">click on "Accounts">now enter the correct information from your ISP for the Incoming AND outgoing Mail Servers, that your ISP provides you with>also enter your user name, email address and password for your ISP email account.

  • Oracle 10g AS 10.1.3 cluster : Topic MDB does not receive messages

    Dear experts,
    We have the latest Oracle 10g AS 10.1.3 cluster, which consists of two nodes.
    Background: Our application is a J2EE app extensively using JMS for communicating notifications between cluster nodes. It does work fine in standalone OC4J, clustered WebLogic and clustered SAP WebAS.
    Application is deployed without any errors to Oracle AS. It works fine with 1 cluster node, it 'half' works when second node is added.
    The cluster does recognize both nodes - we can administer and see them fine from the console.
    The problem application experiences is this:
    1. The application MDBs do not seem to receive any messages sent from another node. Only messages submitted from the same JVM are ever seen. This leads to incosistency in server caches.
    2. JNDI tree updates made from one node are also not visible on the other and vice versa.
    We tried it on a single physical server with 2 App Server instances and on 2 physical servers.
    I followed standard instructions on how to configure clustered environment - basically all we could do after we installed two instances was we turned on the PEER clustering for our application.
    Firewalls are also turned off on both servers.
    I would really appreciate any piece of advice because we're really stuck at this point!
    Thank you!

    Hi Peter,
    Can you just install 10.1.3 on top of another AS installation?You can't install an Oracle Application Server on top of another version. The 10.1.3 install needs to have its own Oracle Home. However, you can configure a 10.1.3 install to use OHS 10.1.2 and to use OID 10.1.2 as its identity management store.
    Can you install 10.1.3 standalone?Absolutely. You can download it from:

  • Mail does not retreive messages after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    I just upgraded my work iMac (2009) to Mountain Lion last night and now it will not retreive any messages from my work email account (POP).  It was working fine yesterday (and for the past 3+ years) while I was still on Lion, but despite searching for answers and trying multiple solutions for several hours, I still cannot get it to work.  Among other things, I have deleted and then added the account back (multiple times); restarted the Mac (multiple times); and zapped the PRAM, but nothing has fixed it yet. 
    When I select "Get Mail" from that mailbox and watch the Activity Monitor, it connects to the server, says "Fetching new mail", then "Preparing to retreive new mail", but it then just disappears after about about a minute and makes the "no mail" beep.  There are no error messages, but I can see in the bottom "Mail Activity" window that it says it's downloading 40+ messages but nothing shows up.  The mail account still works on my iPhone and I can check the mail on my webmail server, so I don't think it has anything to do with the server especially since it worked fine yesterday. 
    Any insight would be much appreciated because it's driving me crazy!!

    I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
    And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
    I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

  • Mail can not receive messages from yahoo account

    Hello,
    last year I bought my first Appler computer and it was a good decision . I use the mail application and addes 2 email accounts. One yahoo email account and one t-online email account. It works very well until september ... Since september I can't receive new messages from my yahoo account.
    I tried different things I read in this forum. For example to delete the file com.apple.mail.list in library/preferences and start the mail application. I create a new account for yahoo. Mail read the only 49 messages from the total 84 messages. If I look at the account information within the mail application it shows all 84 messages from the yahoo account.
    I also use opera as an other internet browser and the embedded email client. Opera receive my emails from the yahoo acount.
    There are any other suggestions to solve my problem ?

    I'm having the same problem too. I think it's an issue on Yahoo's end because whenever I can't retrieve message on the POP server, I also can't login to Yahoo on Adium Messenger. Yahoo has a history of this happening, but never for days on end. I think the solution is to set your Yahoo mail to forward to Gmail and be done with it.

  • Mail Sends Mail does not receive!!!

    If I send mail there is no problem but if I try and receive I just get a little plink noise and nothing comes in.
    I have followed recent topics on this and tried the following:
    1 Connection Doctor shows all connections etc in good working order
    2 There was a thread about keychain passwords affecting mail, so I re set all keychain passwords to do with mail
    3 I have followed BDAqua advice on the safe re boot then repair disk permissions etc
    4 I have removed all of my messages from my webmail account including the trash and sent items to remove any message that might be affecting my Mail.
    I am truly exasperated, webmail works but I just want my Mail back
    To replace Mail with Eudora etc is only an option if I use the free to use version as I have no Credit Card and the nearest Mac shop is in Johannesburg 2,500kms away!

    Hi ManinMalawi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    3 I have followed BDAqua advice on the safe re boot then repair disk permissions etc
    Did it include this?
    First, Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move the following folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    To replace Mail with Eudora etc is only an option if I use the free to use version as..
    All there is is the Free Version anymore, Quaalcom released it to Open Source, and though it hasn't been updated since 6.2, it works just fine/great on the latest OSX.

    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
