Mail downloads one . . . email . . . at . . . a  . . . time-how to fix it?

Mail suddenly started downloading only one, or at most two, emails at a time—it takes forever to download all my mail and I have to keep clicking on "check mail". This was not just after an upgrade or any other changes. It simply started happening. I've restarted, but that has no effect. No idea what else to do. Can anyone help?
I'm running X.6.4 on a MacBook. Internet is too slow now to download latest system update.

Teri,
Do you ever take your Mac to a better connection, and if so, does this issue occur at that time?
With the connection speed you cite, I think it might be possible for the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 file to get corrupted, and might be the source of failure to complete download of all new emails each cycle, given the need to administer between messages not yet downloaded, and those that have been.
If you do get to take this Mac to a better connection, then first Move all your Inbox messages to a new On My Mac mailbox, then delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 file and see if all messages on the server will fully download. In doing that, that file will be refreshed by the creation of a new one following the download. You can try the same from your normal connection, but it would be better to do it from a faster connection.

  • Mail downloads one email at a time.  ???

    Just noticed this problem today. My main gmail account (I have 4 gmail and 1 yahoo account) will only download one email at a time. One click of "Get Mail", one email. My other accounts all work properly, leading me to think that it's not a gmail problem, but a setting on my mail gmail account that has gone bad.
    Since it's been bad like this a few days now, I could click "Get Mail" fifty times to get my fifty emails, or, hope someone can come up with a better idea.
    Thanks in advance!!!

  • TS3899 How do I delete more than one email at a time from my i phone 5C

    How do I delete more than one email at a time from my i phone 5C

    With your Mail app open and the listing of the messages, tap Edit at the top right.  Then check each circle on the left side of the messages to delete.  When you have checked those to delete, tap Trash at the lower right.
    Next tap Mailboxes upper left, under accounts select the account, then for the account tap Trash.  Select Edit upper right, and at the bottom, Delete All, and confirm Delete All and all will be removed at one time.

  • Mail: I can only open one email at a time

    Using Mail, I have a very strange phanomenon: I can only open one email at a time. E.g. when writing a new email, I cannot open another email for reference. I need to close and save the new email as a draft before being able to open another one.
    It would be great if somebody could help me with this, thanks!

    Hi Cocolores,
    If you choose File > New Viewer Window from the menu bar in Mail, you can have as many email messages open as you like.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • How do I download one app at a time in itunes or appstore

    Hi there fellow apple lovers, just got my first iphone, you see I have a habbit of downloading from the app store simultaneously, is there anyway I can set my iphone 5s to download one app at a time, well in other words queing them so that if a download finishes, it will automatically download the next app

    If the program/window is not a text-based one (such as a word processor), you can usually use the up and down arrow keys to scroll up or down one line at a time.
    There are often mods to this behavior, but exactly what depends on the program. Test with the up and down arrow keys in conjunction with the usual modifier keys - Shift, Command, Option, etc.

  • When downloading i can only download one link at a time per window. i used to be able to download six links at a time per page. how do i go back to this?

    got a new laptop. unsure of firefox verson on old as the computer quit taking a charge.
    but essentially on my old laptop if a window had six downloadable links i would be able to download all six at once. now i can only download one link at a time. this is very annoying. i do not believe it is an issue with the new laptop itself as it is a highend toshiba.

  • I can only view one email at a time

    I can only view one email at a time when i open my email app

    Reopened this question in another forum, since I am not talking about an iPhone but a MacBook Pro:
    Using Mail, I have a very strange phanomenon: I can only open one email at a time. E.g. when writing a new email, I cannot open another email for reference. I need to close and save the new email as a draft before being able to open another one. Obviously, I am not reading two emails at a time, but I might be writing one and needing infos/text from another. It sounds stupid, but that's the way it is. :-/

  • I cannot "download all" from the cloud ... it says that itunes has encountered an error and needs to shut down. I can download one song at a time. It is not being caused by any one song.

    I have the latest version of iTunes. When I am in the iTunes store and I click on purchased it will show me a list of all my purchased songs. Some of the older songs are already in my iTunes account. There is a cloud symbol by any songs that have not been download to my account. It always fails if I try to do a "download all" (at the bottom of the page) but I seem to be able to download one song at a time. These are songs that were purchased on my iPhone but I wanted to put them in my iTunes account so that I could put them on my iPod. The problem does not appear to be associated to any one song.

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times

    Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
    Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

    You need to give more info..
    Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
    Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
    Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
    Change it to working as a router. That might help.
    If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
    If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

  • Since updating to Iso 6 my iMessages are showing as coming from my email address, anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating to Iso 6 my iMessages are showing as coming from my email address, anyone know how to fix this?

    I figured out my problem...... I have custom text tones set up for certain ppl and had the default text tone set to "none" well with the iOS6 update it made it so if your default text tone is set on "none" then you won't hear what I call the send and recieve text sounds when in a converstation... if you change the default text tone to any text tone other than "none" you will get your send and recieve sounds back.... kinda annoying if you don't won't random texts from ppl waking you up... so I made a custon text tone that is called silence with just recording a few seconds of dead noise then edited it and turned all the sound levels down to 0 and set that as my default text tone.... now I have the send and recieve text sounds in a conversation and everything is fine! Sorry Nehucskter the first time I had this problem thats the first thing I did was reboot my phone.... first thing you do for everything lol....
