Mail issue; receiving email I send thru webbased on apple email

I have an interesting problem. Normally my mail comes thru on Apple Mail. However, when I am at work, I check my mail thru the web based site of my internet provider. Recently, my internet provider changed how they do mail. They now have a deal with google Gmail.
When I compose mail thru my the web based system it shows up on my Apple Mail Inbox. Obviously, that's a nuisance and I'd like to get rid of it. So, I call Tech support for my internet provider. They told me, "well Apple does that and mostly learn to live with it."
I can't believe that's the end of it. Can anyone help me?
Thank you.

This is normal for Gmail -- it is Gmail, and not Apple Mail that is causing the sent message to show up in the Inbox, limited I think to when you are accessing Gmail as POP and not as IMAP. But I would have top test that.
How are you accessing your Gmail from Mail -- POP or IMAP. Since only IMAP would let you see the Sent folder on the Gmail server, then with POP, Gmail is making the sent message available on your email client, in the Inbox.

My mail will receive but not send emails?

I am not able to send emails in MAIL, but receive them. I use a gmail email account in MAIL. I've never had a problem until a couple hours ago. Anyone know of troubleshooting info regarding this please? Thanks.

One thing you might want to do is search on google to see if they are reporting any issues with mail client usage.
Also, another option would be to reboot your Mac. Sometimes all you need to do to fix an odd problem with a computer is to reboot.

Mail will receive email but will not send. Recent change of broadband provider. Help!

I've recently changed my broadband provider. My email address is provided by my previous broadband provider (although it was obtained seperately -prior to - my broadband deal). Since I've changed my Mail still collects mail from the email address provider but is no longer sending from Mail.
Funnily enough if I send an email direct from this provider they send without any problems.
I've checked the preferences and nothing seems to have been altered.
Confused.

Do I understand this as saying you changed "broadband providers", i.e., ISP's, and you are trying to send and receive email through your old ISP's mail servers? I hope I misunderstood that because you of course need to use your new ISP's mail servers.

Email issues/ receive emails but cant reply or send emails

My email is through bellsouth.net powered by yahoo. I receive emails but cannot respond to emails received or send new emails. Everything I send ends up in the outbox on the Droid x. What di I need to do to get this corrected? Being able to respond to emails when not at the office was a key reason I went with this phone. Can someone help?

You need to contact Bell South to make sure that you can send emails through your email account while on a different network. I hace Charter for my isp at home, and they do NOT allow emails to be sent through their email servers if your not on the Charter network using Outlook or simular email client. The only way I can send emails if I am out of town, is to use their web interface. This is incorrect. They have instructions on their website to set up an iPhone, BB, or Droid to send and receive email. . I have been receiving and sending mail on my Droid since I picked it up in April. In fact if you look around the Incredible board, I have detailed instructions on how to set up your phone for Charter. I am sure BellSouth has settings also. They do this to cut down on spam being sent through their systems (thus reducing the load on their servers)

I've fixed yahoo accounts before where the device had to be registered with the company, is your account @yahoo.com or something else? Do you login through yahoo.com for your mail on you computer or is it another domain? you may also want to check you settings for sync. Get there by going to the home screen and pressing menu and selecting settings. select accounts and sync, verify that both auto-sync and background data are checked. then click on your account and check to make sure all the necessary boxes you need are checked as well.
The phrase "Powered by Yahoo" is just a customization of the IE brower. It is a registry setting that can be changed to say anything you want, or remove it all together. It does not have anything to do with Yahoo for access or emails of any sort.

Using aol mail and receiving emails but not able to send.

After successfully using itouch very frustrated with new ipad2. Receiving emails fine but still trying to send emails. Not very computer lit but husband is!

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works.
This may be of some help as well.

Obviously make sure that all of the information has been entered correctly including your username and passwords and that you are using upper and lower case letters as you should be using in your password since it is case sensitive.

Mail not receiving email

I recently purchased an iPhone so I wanted to change my Mac Mail from a POP account to IMAP since I will be checking on both devices. The issues is after I have done this I no longer receive emails to Mac Mail. I am able to send, but not receive. I receive new emails to my iPhone no problem and it has the exact same settings as the IMAP account for Mac Mail. The steps I have taken to try and correct:
Deleted the POP account
Deleted and re-added the IMAP account
Connection Doctor shows green on both incoming and outgoing e-mail
Created a new user account with the IMAP account
Repaired Disk permissions
Deleted the Keychain password for the IMAP account
Reset the password for the e-mail account
I did find I am able to receive emails when I perform "Get Account Info" specifically the Quota Limits tab. I have to manually do this each time I want to check and receive new e-mail. Also selecting the Rebuild option does the same. Each time I want to get my e-mail I have to perform one of these two options. New emails are not automatically received, or selecting the Get Mail does not retrieve new messages.
Any other ideas, I am completely out of things to try. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. I receive mail just fine on my iPhone and on the other Macs in my home. I only have a problem with my MacBook Pro. It is also sporatic. Some e-mails come thru. Some do not unless I restart Mail or take all accounts offline then back online. The same things happens on other networks when I am away from home. Frustrating.
Any help out there????

Mail not receiving emails since upgrading to Maverick

I have been having nothing but issues using the Mail program since upgrading to Maverick earlier this year. I can't get my incoming emails to sync normally (I have multiple different accounts set up from different servers), sometimes they come in with no issues and other times they don't show up for hours or after I manually restart the program/computer. I know there is a huge delay because they come in on my phone and iPad without any issues. This is a huge problem for me since I use Mail for all my work emails and I can't log into all the different web applications easily. Can anyone give me any suggestions?? I've tried taking the accounts offline and then resyncing them and sometimes it works but lately it isn't doing the trick either. Here is my mail version I'm using : Version 7.3 (1878.6) and I'm in OSX 10.9.5 I haven't upgraded Yosemite because my last upgrade to Maverick was such a headache... Please help!!!

Mac mail will receive but not send, happened yesterday!

Hi, my mac will receive email but not send anything. I didn't do anything differently and it was working just fine before. Can someone please help me. I am trying to get work emails out and they won't send. Gmail and exchange won't send, it's not just one email provider. Please advise. I have looked up other forums and I don't think it has anything to do with the settings because it worked before.
Thanks for your help.

Mail will receive but not send!!!!!!

Hi, my imail is receiving but not sending. I have 3 other computers in the office with different email address using imail and they are working fine? I deleted the account then added it and still cant send mail. its not a server issue because all other email address for our office email work just not mine.
any help will do.

Try 'synchronize' under mailbox menu. Have had the same problem sporadically for no apparent reason. Have 3 email accounts set up and sometimes just one of them does this- different one every time. I call the ISP and it is not a problem on their end- and I know that is true because I can logon to the web-based version and see the emails that I am not getting in Apple Mail. Synchronize sometimes has fixed this problem for me.

Mail stopped receiving emails; saves all sent emails as drafts

Two issues:
1. Suddenly Mail has stopped receiving emails (just started yesterday). I can send with no difficulty, and retrieve emails online through my browser, but not through Mail.
2. Each email I send is now saved as a Draft, even though it has been sent.
Anyone else having these problem? And know how to fix it?
Thanks

For the Drafts issue, access your e-mail via a browser, and check to see if there is a setting to store draft on the server. If it is an IMAP account, go to Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors and un-check Store drafts on server.

TS3899 Having issues receiving emails and then they dissapearing

I am experiencing problems with one of the 3 emails accounts on my iPhone 4. One of my bellsouth (att) accounts and my gmail accounts receive emails and are kept on the inbox. However my other bellsouth email account receives the emails but does not keep them on the inbox. They disappear without me deleting them. Can anybody hekp me fix this issue?

check the accounts settings in settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go to that account under 'accounts' at the top, and see if there are any settings that could influence that. if you don't see anything like archiving or the behavior of your archive box or anything, then it's not an issue with the phone or its settings - it's something that needs to be changed at the website on a computer where you can check your mail

Mail not receiving emails with attachments

Hi
I'd appreciate any suggestions in relation to the following.
My wife and I both run computers from the one account, Mail on her PowerBook logging in through my name and password. Until recently, we have had no problems at all. However, it has come to light that my wife has not been receiving emails with attachments for some time. To test this, my wife sent an email with an attachment to her home email address from work, and copied it to me. I received the email and the attachment on my PC; my wife's Mac did not receive the email. I then forwarded the email with the attachment to her computer; this was successful. This would suggest some problem with her Mail account on the Mac. However, the configuration has not been changed. Is it possible for it just to stop working for some reason?

I'm using a PC for my email at the moment. I'm not sure if all my wife's emails have been downloaded. However, Mail has made a Home/Mail/MessageUidsAlreadyDowloaded file. This was created when I sent an email to test what happened. I was unable to make Mail download all her emails, so I guess they must have gone from the server. She has a different email address to mine, but it's run from the same ISP account; as I said, she logs in, automatically, through Mail to her email. I have contacted the ISP about it, but they are unable to see any trace of emails that colleagues have sent my wife and which she sends home to herself. All of these files happen to have attachments, but I cannot see any setting of Mail which would account for them being rejected. Also, I can't be entiurely sure that only emails with attachments don't get through; there may be others, 'unattached'.
Thanks for your continued assistance.

Mail can receive but not send????

I have a MobileMe account. I can receive emails through Mail, but cannot send them.... Does anyone know what may be causing this?

People have had problems with mail sending using Mobile Me. The whole launch of that service has been plagued by problems it seems (http://apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/07/25/who-is-to-blame-for-mobileme).
