Mail no longer notifying me of incoming emails

For some reason my mail use to alert me when a new message arrived, but it no longer does that. Can anyone please help me? Thank-you.

See if setting it to "Every 5 minutes" helps.
It should.
I don't know if you'll want to keep it set that way. I do -- but that implies your Mac will be doing a lot of going out and asking "Is there new mail?"

HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

How do i get my iPhone to notify me of incoming emails

The above is true even if Mail is not included in Notification Center.

Mail creates background image to some incoming emails

In our business we use a signature that is a jpeg attachment. I received an email from a co-worker and his email is all unreadable because the Mail app added as a background image the signature from another co-worker.
The visually unreadable email shows a repeated image of the other co-worker's signature image, they work in separate locations, and the source email is not showing this, we are experiencing this type of issue only with our Mac's Mail client.
In our iPhones and Windows PC as well as the online webclient we don't have this issue.
It seems that the problem is generated by the Mac's Mail app, like for some reason the emails from our company are identified to use this repeated image as a background.
How can we avoid this? Any solution? Ideas? thanks

Is MAIL on your computer set to load HTML automatically or do you have to use the 'Load Images' button for each message.
If corporate mail admins thought about the load that comes with allowing jpeg sigs, coupled with the fact that it is impossible to extract any contact related info from them, they'd make sure they weren't allowed.

TS3276 Beginning on December 23rd I was no longer able to receive incoming emails on my computer. They appear on the server. My iphone can retrieve them, but my mail program on my computer can't see them. I tried deleting and recreating account. Didn'

I'd been using the program on the same computer for years. I've tried just about everything now, backing up my email boxes to my desktop and deleting them, creating a new account and deleting the old one. I've checked the behaviors. I've dumped tons of old emails. Help. There is one other thing that was happening in the months before that I didn't realize. As my computer downloaded the incoming files, they were not being erased from the server. I don't know why. I hadn't changed any settings. The Rep from my server company insisted it was that I'd maxed out the program or something was corrupt and recreating the account would help. It didn't. When I'd done everything else and backed up everything, I also tried deleting the Cache in the Finder. No difference. Help.

How much mail are we talking about here? Roughly how many messages, and roughly how many gigabytes of mail?
Who is the mail provider? Is this a local provider on a local network, or one of the "free" providers, or something from your ISP?
Do you have free disk space on your OS X system here, or is it possible that your disk is getting full?
As for the usual diagnostics for problems with Mail.app, launch Mail.app and select the Connection Doctor from the Window menu, let it run, select More Details, and re-run the tests. Expunge any personally-identifying information and post the results here, if they don't make the trigger clear.
You can also try a mailbox repair pass; there's a Rebuild option in the Mail.app menus.
If the downloads are failing, then the usual trigger is the IMAP or POP password setup; there are two entirely seperate connections and two separate credentials and such; the send path (SMTP) and the receive (IMAP or POP) path. Usual triggers for problems are changes to the mail servers involved, or the mail ports, or the credentials needed; I've seen vendors change each of those, and forget to mention it to their users.
That OS X version is extremely old. (I don't have anything nearly that old to check the details fo the setup of that version; 10.6.8 is the oldest OS X version I have handy.)

Apple mail strips text when displaying an incoming email

I receive emails associated with a club I belong to from an email reflector. Club members send emails to the reflector and the reflector resends the email to each club member including me of course
This works fine so long as the email to (and from) the reflector contains either only text or only an attachment (as in a photograph). However if the distributed email contains both text and a photo Apple Mail is unwilling to display the text ... only the photograph appears. Which as you might well imagine is rather annoying.
So how do I know that the email is displayed with the accompanying text stripped away? Well if I look at the raw source (View --> Message --> Raw Source) I see the following:
--001a11c249488ce20604f4d3bcb6

I changed the text to protect the identify of the sender. In Apple Mail all I see is the picture (IMG_0918.JPG) and all the text that goes with it is missing.
From what I can tell from comments on the reflector, some other email clients exhibit the same problem (they also strip the text) while others do not. So maybe the email is not being formatting properly by the reflector. That could be. But files on the web have mal-formed HTML all the time, yet browsers deal with the mal-formed HTML without stripping the text away as seems to be the case here.
It seems to be that Apple Mail sould be able to display the text which in contained in the raw source.
Any solution (other that looking at these email in raw source to read thei missing textual contentt)? If an Apple employee is reading this maybe you could pass this along to whoever is prosponsible for keeping track of Apple Mail bugs.
Thanks.

I design and code a lot of HTML emails, and plain text remains an important feature for many clients.
This seems to be a recent change to Mac Mail. Previously, there was an option under View --> Message to show the plain text alternative.

HT1338 my mail application keeps downloading 1000s of incoming emails

My apple mail client seems to be always in a downloading incoming mail state, even though there are very few (if any) new mail. Sometimes it starts indicating it is downloading 3000 or so emails. This is everyday.
I took it to the apple shop and he wiped everythign off and started again.
But still this issue continues

Will I lose my emails I have on there? I have numerous client email files and can't afford to lose any of them. I do have everything backed up but I'm fearful of losing important client info. What if something happened during the back up and it doesn't have my files?

I have two iphones sharing the same e-mail and if one deletes an incoming email, it is deleted from the other iphone. How can I stop that?

I have two Iphones that share the same email. we got new 4s phones. Now if one person checks/deletes email, it does not show up on the other phone
and it is taken off the server.
How can I fix that?
I want it to go to both phones and to remain on the server even if I delete it off my phone.
Thanks

You must be using a POP3 account like verizon.net
using IMAP like gmail will help some of your problem, not all...
even on IMAP accounts once one person checks the email it will not show as a "new" message anymore... and if deleted it will still be gone from both phones...
There are settings you can change in the advanced section of the IMAP account settings that designate the phone NOT to delete messages at all as well... thought this is also an option on POP3 account settings too.

Incoming email issue

In Mail the "To:" line of all incoming emails to me inappropriately shows a friend whose name begins aa. Tapping on the name icon yields a drop-down that includes my name and others. This list seems to be from a failed attempt to set up an email distribution for a club in my web based att.net/yahoo account on my Mac. Couldn't make it work then. On my Mac the emails don't show the other names.

Hi Praveen,
Based on the error message, this issue may be about Use SharePoint Directory management Service.
Whether you set “Use SharePoint Directory management Service” to YES in Central Administration->Incoming E-Mail Settings.
If yes, you must configure the application pool identity account for the SharePoint Central Administration website to have the
Create, delete, and manage user accounts user right to the container that you specify in AD DS.

Send copy of incoming email to

Does anyone know how to configure the mail server to Send copy of incoming email to a specified email. Thank you!
e.g. I got 3 colleagues in support team and their email addresses are [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] Any email send to their addresses will be sent a copy to [email protected]
Thank you!

You need to set up a forwarder in the postfix system used by OS X Server to handle mail.
It is quite straightforward to set this up if you are familiar with using command line / terminal to configure your machine. If you are not sure about this mode of using OS X Server, you may need to find an alternative method.
Assuming you logged into the server as an Administrator, the way to do it is as follows:
1) On your server, open a terminal window and switch into 'super user' mode by typing su at the prompt. You will be asked to give the password for your account, and if successful you'll see the command prompt change (from something ending in a $ sign to something else ending in a # sign)
2) Open the file virtual_users in the directory /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix for editing. I use nano - but you can use whatever editor you prefer for this - e.g.
nano /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/virtual_users
3) In this file (which is probably blank / empty when you start) type in the following information for each of your users that you are trying to forward mail from (obviously you'll need to correct the email addresses first!)
[email protected]    [email protected]    [email protected]
[email protected]     [email protected]    [email protected]
[email protected]   [email protected]    [email protected]
4) Now you need to process the file to put it in a form that postfix can read, do so by typing in the following
postmap /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/virtual_users
5) Now you need to restart postfix so that it uses your new settings
postfix reload
6) Now just type exit into the terminal to leave SU mode and you are done. Test your email addresses, but it should "just work".
The clever bit is the postfix virtual_users file.
In that file, you put the email address you want to play with first on the line, and then you can put as many other email addresses after it (with spaces between): postfix will forward messages sent to the first address to each of the addresses in the list.
Most normally this system is used to set up 'forwarding' systems - so if you want one email to go to another this is what you do. But if you want to do this and keep a copy, simply repeat the original email (i.e. the one at the start of the line) in the list that follows, and a copy goes to that one too. Postfix is clever enough to not get into a tail-spin - it doesn't loop back and send a copy of the copy or anything.
Hope this helps.

Not being alerted when Incoming Emails comes in.

When I first purchased my 3G iPhone, I was notified of any incoming emails (vibrate and a tone). For the past two weeks, I have not been notified of incoming emails. I even went to the Genius Bar in Newport Beach, CA and waited 4 hours and no one was able to help me. The blamed it on my Yahoo account, which we know is not the case.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue...I need to be notified of every incoming email.
Thanks

Same problem here - this is a SERIOUS issue

I have a OSX version 10.7.5. On Safari mail I can no longer see the information that usually appears at the beginning of an incoming email, like the date, senders details etc. What do I do to be able to see this again?

No, I get my mail on my computer, not on a website. I used to be able to see the information but in sorting another issue I must have changed a setting or something. I have gone to View. Under Message Attributes most things are ticked but many of them are not bold print i.e. they are pale grey. I don't know how to activate them again.

Incoming email fonts change in Windows 8.1 LIve Mail

Some, but not all incoming email fonts change to almost unreadable block fonts when arriving at Windows Live Mail. It seems to be happening on forwarded items only. Suggestions on how to stop this, or change fonts when it occurs would be most welcome.
On same general subject, is it possible to change size of incoming email fonts in Windows 8.1?

John, welcome to the forum.
Open Windows Live Mail. Click on the blue "File" in the upper left corner. Then, Options / Mail / Read / Fonts (lower middle of page) / Font size. There you can change the size of the font. I believe that it should come set to "Medium". You can change it by clicking on the drop-down menu.

Mac Mail incoming email not loading when on home cable broadband

I'm having a new problem (started happening just 2 night ago, for no apparent reason). Incoming emails no longer working on any apple device (iPhone 5, iPad, MacBook Pro) when connected to my home broadband wireless modem (cable, netgear cg3100d). This is despite all devices accessing websites without any issues, and speedtest showing 32mbps when connected to this modem. When I take any of these devices to connect to my work's wireless internet connection the mails load fine. Likewise if i switch off wifi on the phone and use the 3G or 4G the emails load.
What could be the cause since I haven't changed any settings? I'm nowhere near my monthly download limit either.
I've also noticed that Apple TV loading content has slowed right down. This seems to be related since it has occurred at the same time. Strange that only email and Apple TV is affected. Websites all load fine and at full speed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Timdk,
The port settings for mail.bigpond.com changed a few months ago and this is starting to be enforced. Please check your settings against those in the table on this link: https://go.telstra.com.au/helpandsupport/-/email-settings-summary
I would suggest performing a factory reset of the modem via the interface http://192.168.0.1 and you will find this option located under Set Password in the left hand menu.
Once done, test it again and let us know how you went
