Mail not 'bleeping' with incoming mail

Seem to have an intermittent problem where sometimes the phone will bleep/vibrate to notify me of a new email message in the inbox. other times the only time I find out is by seeing the little red circle over the mail icon.
have tried all the obvious stuff, restart, checked the general settings etc.
does this happen to everyone or just me??

Yes, I get this issue (I've raised other threads on it).
I only experience the problem with POP3 accounts. My Yahoo account works fine.
I've contacted Apple, they didn't have the issue logged on their internal systems. They recommended exchanging the phone. I'm on my second phone and still the problem (which I expected since I assume the issue is software related).
I've tried every combination of setting the accounts up and still have the problem.
Since my phone at work is mainly on silent it's really really annoying. Hopefully it's resolved in a firmware update.

  • Snow Leopard Mail not sync with iPhone Mail (iCloud)?

    Hello all,
    Just like to query and confirm:
    This is my sister's Mac Mini running Snow Leopard, and her iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 on iCloud, she has activated iCloud on her iPhone, using the same Apple ID
    She has told me her desktop Mac mini's mail doesn't seem to sync with the mail on her iPhone, but it was, about 3 weeks ago
    I know both are different, her Snow Leopard would be running MobileMe and her iPhone would be running iCloud, even though both are using the same Apple ID.
    Is the Mail part regardless of whether on MobileMe or iCloud, they would sync, or will not?
    I guess the only thing to do now is to update her Mac mini to Lion as soon as possible.
    Thanks and cheers.

    Yes, you need to upgrade to Lion in order to use iCloud. MobileMe and iCloud are separate email services.

  • Gmail smtp (outgoing) mail not working with apple mail 5

    Hi,
    I have a numbe of gmail accounts, I can receive mail through the new apple mail 5 client but can't send any at all.
    I've tried everything gmail help suggests but to no avail...
    Cheers,
    Alex

    Have you use the correct outgoing server - smtp.mail.me.com and SSL is required. I would suggest removing the account and starting again, following the instructions applicable to Leopard in this page:

  • Sent mail not syncing with MBP Mail from iPad

    I just setup one of my email accounts with IMAP on my iPad and MBP to see how they will work together. When i reply to an email from the iPad it will show the little reply arrow in Mail on my MBP but will not show the message anywhere. Not in the top of the conversation or in any sent mail folder.
    How can I get it to sync the sent mail?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Please disregard this post.  I've found the answer to my own question! 

  • Mavericks Mail not syncing with iOS Mail

    I'm finding myself having to manually read, save, or archive my email on my desktop iMac mail after already having done this on my iPhone 5 or iPad. The iOS devices seem to be syncing fine, but the iMac mail does not seem to be getting caught up with work done on my mobile devices. In addition it appears as though each time I attempt to synch my iPhone to iTunes it get stuck on step 5 of 6, importing photos. I'm not sure what has changed, I have not altered the way I operate as an end user, I simply go about my business as I normally would except for the fact that I'm finding myself have to do double the work, something that I know i did not have to do, even before Mavericks or iCloud ever became available. Has anyone else had this same experience and/or does anyone know how to fix either the mail sync or the iTunes sync?
    Thanks,
    David

    Update to my own question :-)
    Upgrading to 10.9.1 seems to have taken care of these issues!

  • Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

    Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
    It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
    I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
    What do I do?
    iPad 2 latest OS.

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
    https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

  • Windows Live Mail not connceting with BT email

    Hi
    After 11 weeks trying to get help from BT I managed to get my BT email working, sort of. The problem I'm left with is that Windows Live Mail will not connect to it, an error message of user or password not recognised appears. I've read various messages on the internet but still have had no success. My Windows Live settings are as follows:
    Servers
    My incoming mail server: POP3
    Incoming mail: mail.btinternet.com
    Outgoing mail: mail.btinternet.com
    Email username: [email protected]  (have tried this with the part before the @ also)
    Password: xxxxx (Password working on BT email)
    Log on using clear text authentication
    Advanced
    Server port numbers:
    Outgoing mail: 465 with SSL ticked
    Incoming mail: 995 with SSL ticked
    Any idea what is wrong? Should I go back to BT about this when incoming and outgoing mail is working using BT email? Thanks for any help
    Goggs

    Password: (your normal email password)
    Tick the box “remember password”
    Tick “log on using secure authentication”
    Outgoing Mail Server:
    Tick box “my server requires authentication”
    Click on the button “Settings” ensure that it is using “use same settings as my incoming server”
    There are no changes in the “Connection” or “Security” tabs so ignore them.
    Click on the “Advanced” tab

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Gmail suddenly not working with Apple Mail

    My gmail suddenly is not working with Apple Mail.
    It said my username or password is wrong, but it was okay this morning.
    Nevertheless, I deleted my gmail account, and re-setup it using Internet Accounts from System Preference.
    However, I got the beow message:
    There was a problem setting up the Mail account. An unknown error occurred.
    I am sure my username and password are correct because I just login it using Safari.
    Does anyone know what the cause is?
    Please help~~~

    Gmail not syncing in mac mail is a problem that is also in snow leopard since the new year.
    OSX 10.6.8  is the highest OS that will run on an Intel Core 2 Duo.  Do not try to install Mavericks on this machine! I will install, but turns it into a dinosaur and many programs will no longer run.
    I had an issue with Mac Mail not syncing with imap.gmail.com. and Safari not being able to find apple.com.
    This was resolved by working with an upper level tech support member for several hours deleating particular system library files, uninstalling most addons, reseting system network settings and a whole lot more! (too much to name here)
    Thank you Apple Tech Support.

  • HT5361 I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,

    Again, thanks for your very comprehensive input. I forgot that I still am not now able to sync my iPhone calendar, contacts or Bookmarks with my MacBook calendar, contacts or Bookmarks. 
    I will try your suggestion "to sync my calendars to iCloud by means of (the) unsupported hack,  This page outlines the situation when you have migrated to iCloud on Snow Leopard, including a link to the calendar hack:

    Maybe something will evolve for syncing my Contacts and Bookmarks and iCloud.

    They don't care at all.  If you ever get into legal trouble for that spam then it's on you, but at least Time Warner is making it harder for you to be liable.  If something like that does happen then it's on TW than it is on you.
    The way around it is to use a proxy server.  AT&T and T-Mobile has one, but I am unsure of Verizon or Sprint.  You may have to call CC to find out if they have one.
