Mail forwards and replies not received

Recently I've found out that emails that I've replied to or forwarded to others were never received. I never receive a message that the mail was undeliverable and the emails show up in my "sent" folder. Emails I initiate are no problem. Any idea of what the problem is, or how I can fix it?
eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

When you send a message your mail client (Apple Mail) holds a conversation with your mail server and passes it the message for delivery. The copy of the message does not appear in your Sent mailbox until this conversation is complete. If it can't hold the conversation, or the server won't accept the message, you will generally get an error message. It sounds like a problem with whoever is providing hte mail service.
Out of curiosity try sending me an email (address is in my profile) and post back here when you have sent it.

  • I purchased the Adobe Export pdf 10 hours ago and have not received the e-mail to confirm my address and password, then I can't use it!

    I purchased the Adobe Export pdf 10 hours ago and have not received the e-mail to confirm my address and password, then I can't use it!
    The e-mail address is correct and I've consulted the inbox and the  trashbox without result. And I don't know how to contact the seller Adobe...

    Hi Jose,
    After checking your account, I see that you purchased an ExportPDF subscription back in June (under the same email address that you use here in the forums). There are no other subscriptions under that email address.
    But, you should be able to log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com using this email address and your password. If not, please let us know.

  • TS4069 all of a sudden i can't get incoming mail.  I can send just fine.  I deleted my account and then reintalled it; now it only shows emails going back one month and still not receiving new ones.

    I cannot receive incoming mail all of a sudden on my I-Pone 4.  I deleted my comcast account and then set it up again as suggested.  Now it only loaded messages beginning one month ago; and still not receiving any new.  Any ideas?

    There are only two things that I can suggest.
    The first is to try the Mail Setup Assistant.
    The other is giving Mozilla's Thunderbird a shot - setup the account and see if it will work with this free email app. I don't like Mail at all - and it gives some people fits around here (I don't know how many times people have posted about problems with outgoing servers using Mail).
    Try both methods - I don't use Mail - I use MS's Outlook (and, before that, Entourage). If the Setup Assistant offers no relief, just try Thunderbird and see if it works with it.
    Good luck,

  • How do I rebuild a new Mail account? (recipients not receiving e-mails)

    For the last few days, various e-mails I have sent have not reached their recipients when I send them from my Mail application. There is no pattern to whom is and is not receiving e-mails I have sent. All messages show as being Sent and I receive no bounce-back error messages. Some recipients receive e-mails days later, some all the time, some not at all. If I send e-mails using other applications on other computers, including online apps, all e-mails are received successfully by their recipients.
    So, I have determined through the process of elimination (after speaking with my internet provider and Apple support) that I need to rebuild my Mail account (I've created a "test" account and the problem is fixed — everyone across the board is receiving my e-mails fine). There seems to be no idea as to what could be causing the problem, but I am hopeful that at least I know that building a new account can remedy it.
    The obvious question — how to I delete my old account and create a new one without losing all of my current Inbox e-mails, customized mailboxes, smart mailboxes etc. I have no doubt this process has been outlined somewhere on this forum but after some searching I haven't found anything. If someone could point me to a previous thread, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    And, out of curiosity, if anyone has any idea what could have caused this (Apple Support and Internet Provider tech support both stymied) to happen, I would be interested to know!
    Thanks in advance for anyone's time.

    Hi Deirdre, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    For safety...
    First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    (Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
    Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Is this bad account IMAP or POP?
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these 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.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

  • When asked to verify my account it says I will receive an e-mail but I am not receiving one.

    When asked to verify my account, it says I will receive an e-mail, but I have not received one.  Help!!!!

    ok... i figured out "A" solution.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Manage your account", enter your old apple id email and password, then edit the verification email to a functional email address. This will send the email verification to your newly chosen apple id. PLEASE NOTE, this email address can NOT be a MobileMe (@me.com or @mac.com) email address OR an address already verified on an existing apple id (some folks added and secondary email address to their MobileMe apple id).
    Here's where it gets even more confusing. You've now changed your apple id email. Problem is you need to reset the password you never created (lol). Go back to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Reset your password", then enter your newly changed apple id email address and follow the instructions.
    Now, log into that email account and open the email to reset your password. Follow those instructions.
    Now that you've changed your apple id email address, reset that password you are ready to finally verify your apple id. Open your email account and follow the instruction (link) to verify account. It will ask you for you (new) apple id email and (new) password.
    Finally, now that everything is verified, you will now need to go into your iTunes, iPhone, iTouch and anything else associated with the old apple id email and update your log in info. You are now free to resume the services that worked just fine before the self-destruct button was pressed.
    I love Apple as a whole but, wow... I feel like I'm at the beginning of MobileMe again.
    Good luck and I hope this helps everyone!
    ON A POSITIVE NOTE:
    I appeared to loose nothing at this time through this process (i.e. music, apps, credits, etc.) except perhaps my cool. :-)

    Sometimes, the e-mails wind up accidentally in your Trash or Junk folder. Check there.

  • Why is mail sending messages but not receiving?  problem just started.

    not sure that anything has changed on my imac recently.  i am running 10.7.3.  i can send mail but it's not receiving.  help appreciated.

    benhill00,
    Please look over Apple's Mail Setup, Troubleshooting etc.. link. I suspect a setting has just gotten "confused" or become corrupt somehow. Frequently all you need to do is go into the Mail's Account settings and re-input the settings.

  • Upgraded to Tiger; Mail can Send, but not receive... help!

    Hi there,
    I've come across lots of issues people have had importing all their mailboxes when they've upgraded from Panther to Tiger, but my wife's problem is different - - Mail can Send, but not receive. 'Get Mail' hasn't worked since the upgrade. I've been on the phone with my POP server provider, and all my Mail Account settings are correct. I can send mail, as I say, and sure enough, there it is in her Hotmail web page, along with all the other messages people have sent her in the last two weeks...
    So why can't Mail 'get' these messages, if all the settings are correct?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Malcolm

    You’re welcome.
    If you deleted a POP account, then all the messages stored in that account’s mailboxes has certainly been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
    Remove Account
    Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
    This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
    To prevent that from happening, you should have moved those messages to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving them in the account’s mailboxes. Actually, using Inbox and Sent for archiving purposes is a bad idea regardless.
    If the messages are not on the server and you don’t have a backup (which you should have made before doing something like that), you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

  • Mail sends but will not receive gmail

    I just upgraded to a new iMac and transferred all my data via Time Machine.  My mail app will send emails but not recieve them.  yesterday after reading on here that making a new account, I could fix this, I found that I I now cannot see any of my past received emails.  That's very troubling. 
    Anyway, any ideas on why mail would send but not receive gmail? 
    Thanks!

    What do you see for that account if you invoke Mail's menu option Window > Connection Doctor?
    Pay particular attention to the settings under the "Advanced" tab for that account in the Mail preference "Accounts" panel.

  • Setting up Mail to send only (not receive)

    Hello all,
    I currently use Mail to send/receive to/from my Gmail account, and Entourage for my work (MS Exchange).
    I want to use iWork 09 and the functionality of sharing documents using iWork.com.
    The email addresses that iWork uses (for notifications to someone you want to share a document with) comes from Mail. So if you have multiple accounts on Mail, you can choose which one the email will appear from.
    Obviously for work documents, the emails need to come from my work email, not my personal Gmail address.
    So is there a way to set up an account (using POP3 or IMAP) so that it ONLY sends, and does not receive email?
    It is straightforward to set up a fully functional POP3 or IMAP account for my work email using Mail, but with over 2GB of mail on my Exchange account, I don't want to duplicate my whole Entourage emails...
    Thus my need to be able to _send only_....
    Any pointers appreciated.

    Hey Steven,
    Sorry for digging back in the archives for this one, but a while ago you solved the problem of a missing iCal alarm clock with the following solution...
    Thank you. This has been bugging me for far too long, but you finally made me look to see what was wrong. Here's what I did that has fixed it on my machine.
    (I probably should have quit iCal first, but forgot.)
    1) Navigate to iCal in your Applications folder.
    2) CTRL-Click on the iCal icon in the Applications folder.
    3) Select Show Package Contents
    4) Double click on the Contents folder
    5) Double Click on the Resources folder
    6) Double click on the icon for alarmclock.mov
    A dialog box came up telling me that the movie requires Adobe Flash to play, which is disabled in QuickTime, and allowed me to enable it. I also had to select 'apply to all movies'
    7) Start iCal and test it. I had to restart iCal a couple of times, but that's probably related to my not remembering to quit the application before I started messing with its guts, and my failure to apply the change to all QuickTime movies.
    Good luck
    srb
    Well I tried this without success... QuickTime opens alarmclock.mov, but it's still just a black square. Hope you may be able to help on this one... again!
    Cheers!

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

    Unless it’s in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

    Thank you for being patient with a "beginner" :-) I have now realized that I had no understanding of how iCloud would affect things.
    Calendar: On the iPhone I have set the default calendar to "From my PC" and now things are working ok. I have done the same on the iPad and this is also working ok. I accept that to keep things in sync I have to connect (by USB) to the PC but this is ok.
    Contacts: I was about to make the equivalent changes regarding Contacts and have done so on the iPhone only to find that there is no "From my PC" on the iPad.
    Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated.
    Would I be better off just getting rid of iCloud and going back to USB sync every now and then. This used to be fine for me. Perhaps I have been making things difficult by mixing iCloud with a non-iCloud device (the W7 PC).
    Anyway, once again, many thanks for your patience.
    Steve
