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).

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. We won't know what terms that iTunes Support think that you violated, but the most common reason is probably trying to use another country's store - you are in the same country as you have listed on your iTunes account ?

  • HT5085 I ordered a TV series-I can see where the $$ was taken from our account but I can't find the series anywhere on my iTunes account??

    ordered a TV series…I can see where the $$ was taken from our account but I can't find the shows anywhere in our itunes account.

    Hello NMS1,
    It sounds like you are unable find these TV shows you purchased in a series, but you have been charged for them. I would start by checking to see if you can download them from your Purchases in the iTunes Store with this article:
    Download past purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    The steps are different if you are on an iOS device vs. a computer, so choose the appropriate section for the device you want to download them to.
    If you cannot find it in your Purchases, I would next reach out to the iTunes Store support team for additional assistance:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • Mail can not be sent from pop account

    The mail can not be sent from my mail configured on my iMac.  Please help.

    While in mail, if you click Window then Connection Doctor, do any of the connections have a red dot next to them? The message should tell you what's wrong and if you click on it, it should take you to where you can fix it.

  • 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?

  • Two iPhones, two accounts, but I need to share the contacts.

    I recently sold my old iPhone and got a new one. Through an unfortunate series of events I lost all the contacts on my new phone. I borrowed the one I sold (which still had my contacts on it) and synced it up with iTunes. That went fine but when I plug in my new phone it syncs but none of the contacts sync with it. I think because the phones have different names, it wont let me get my numbers. Is there a way to go from iphone to vcf card or just a way to view the contacts that I synced into iTunes? The most frustrating thing is knowing that I have those contacts and not being able to get to them.

    Ok, you synced the iPhone. But, _did you sync contacts?_ If so, they should be in whatever program on your computer you use for contacts (e.g. Address Book on a Mac). If they aren't there, then even though you synced the phone you didn't sync contacts (i.e. the box on the Info tab wasn't checked).
    I think because the phones have different names...
    Phone name is irrelevant. I sync contacts from the same Address Book to multiple iPhones and an iPod Touch, all with different names.

  • Apple ID issues? i think i have two accounts but i cannot find out the password for the one that controols my apps!? please help!

    I think I have two apple ID accounts.
    The account I am using right now is Alexiaann22. Im like 99.9999% possitive that before this was my origonal account(rosepetttals).
    When I am buying an app in the app store the apple id is already there and all you have to do is change the password. But the apple ID thaat is there is the Rosepetttals.
    I am no longer using that email so I cannot get the password sent to it. I also cannot retrieve the password for rosepetttals because it says that the birthday I am entering is incorrect. but im pretty sure I would know my own birthday.
    I know its alittle confusing but I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks you!

  • Moving mail messages from one account to another sends to inbox, not IMAP folder

    I have many email addresses (setup via Google apps) but I generally store all of my emails on one standard Gmail IMAP account. It makes looking for old emails easier IMO. Here's what my workflow should look like:
    I get an email on account B, reply with account B, then file that email into account B's folder on account A.
    Unfortunately, that workflow has been broken for a very long time now and 10.8.3 didn't fix it.
    Here's what that workflow actually does:
    I get an email on account B, reply with account B, then file that email into account B's folder on account A, the email ends up in the inbox of account A, I then have to drag the email into account B's folder on account A *again* so it actually sticks.  The tricky part is that Mail seems to have the message in two locations until I
    Instead of moving the email directly to account B's folder on account A, it goes to the inbox of account A. I'm really tired of having to move a message twice just to get it into the right folder. I was hoping 10.8.3 would fix this but it's still broken. I believe I started noticing the issue in Lion.
    I only use Gmail IMAP accounts if that helps. I've re-installed from scratch to eliminate any user account / upgrade issues that could've caused the problem.
    I would really appreciate any suggestions or confirmation of the problem from other people so I can file another bug report (did that already but they never understood the issue). 

    Hi,
    Locate your Mail folder via this path - Home/Library/Mail and copy it to the same location on the second machine - when you get the message about overwriting say yes. (make sure Mail is not open on either machine)
    I f you're nervous about overwriting the corrupted copy - simply move it out of Home/Library first - say to the desktop. When you copy the new Mail folder over, and you know it works - delete the desktop copy.

    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.

  • IPhone cannot download messages from IMAP account.

    I have a weird problem with one of my IMAP mail accounts. Everything works fine in Mail on my Mac but on iPhone I cannot see any messages from that account. It's showing how much message I have, but cannot download any of them... I can see all IMAP folders, can send new messages, but I cannot see nothing Does anybody have same problem?

    I have expeirenced a couple of problems in setting up my email accounts.
    One thing that seems to work, when an email account freezes on my iphone, is to turn on teh iphone (hold and keep down the button at right hand top) and then slide to confirm on screen.
    Than when you switch back on it frees up the email account and works fine.
    Dont ask me why, but this was also advice from apple and also hotmail help.

    My wife and I share the same Mac OS 10.6.8 and since downloading Skype on her accout she came not asty connected to any web site for more than a few seconds.

    O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
    I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
    I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
    This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
    I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).
