Mail not collected when Mac awakes

Mail collects incoming mail without problem while awake. But while the Mac is in Sleep mode, any messages received by the ISP are not collected by Mail - I can only read them by accessing ISP mailbox through internet.
As usual, Apple are of no help. Can you help?

Thanks for trying but no change.
Interestingly (perhaps) I experimented with my Virginmedia Settings by changing "When messages are accessed with POP ..........."
from ".....mark Virginmedia's copy as read"
to "delete Virginmedia's copy".
Result: no messages in Mail, as usual, but this time no new messages in Virginmail inbox either. So the ISP treated them as accessed (or "collected") and transferred them to its Bin, where I found and read them.
So the missing messages were accessed but did not show up in my Mail inbox.

Why does the mail not work when i updated my 5s to iOs 8?

Mail not scanned when forwarded locally

I've set up a couple of Macs in my office to run OS X Server (10.4.3) and I have a problem with mail not being junk mail scanned and wonder if any of the OS X Server geniuses out here can help me get it working correctly.
Machine #1, 'proxy.server' is setup to be the firewall/router/proxy for the local network. It has no user accounts except for administration. Machine #2, 'mail.server' is the final destination for mail for our domains and has user accounts setup on it. All the usernames that we want to receive email for are listed in /etc/postfix/aliases on proxy.server - I want to move to virtual mail users, but I don't want to complicate things right now. Mail for all the users listed in the aliases file are successfully accepted by proxy.server and forwarded on to mail.server.
When I look in the headers of mail received on mail.server, I see the 'X-virus-scanned' lines indicating that it was virus scanned by proxy.server, but there are no indications that it has been scanned for Junk mail. Mail delivered and stored locally on proxy.server (ie the 'junkmail' account) do have these extra lines in their headers.
Is there a way to enable the junk mail scanning on proxy.server before it forwards the messages on to mail.server? Long term, I want proxy.server to be able to reject mail it thinks is Junk mail, but for now I just want it to scan it so both myself and the users can see that it is correctly identifying junk mail.
Any hits/tips/help greatly appreciated.

Just in case anyone else has a need to do this sort of thing, then I found a way to get around the limitations using the mailbox_transport option in postfix configuration and far too many ugly additions to the aliases list.

Mail Not Launching When Trying to Open from User Folder

Mail is not launching when I try to open it from within the home folder in my user folder. I have reported the problem to Apple.
It does, however, launch when I try to open it from within the Applications folder.
Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance.

I do have a MS Intellipoint driver of some kind, what do you mean by "check for it"? Try a different mouse? If I uninstall the driver, will any mouse still work?
This might not have any effect on your Adobe programs, but earlier InteliPoint drivers have caused major issues with several Adobe programs. Going back a couple of years, MS did change the InteliPoint drivers, and all was good for about a year. Then, recently, a change was made, and other problems developed with Adobe programs. Most of these were noted in Adobe PrPro. I do not recall any here.
In those other cases, the users replaced the InteliPoint drivers with the generic mouse drivers, and the problems disappeared. Do not know if this will have any impact on your issue, but GUI problems have been cleared up with the replacement of the InteliPoint drivers.
All that I hope is that you will find a cure to this issue. I would be very nervous, should my Assets disappear from my Windows Explorer, or similar.
Good luck,
Hunt

ChaRM: Mail not triggered when current user = mail receiver?

Dearl all:
     Ive noticed that mails are not triggered when the user who is processing a document is the same who will receive it. Is there any way to deactivate this functionality?
Thank you very much,
Federico.

Hi Miguel, how are you?
      I think it is a nice feature not sending a mail when the user who is changing the status in the one who would receive the mail in that next status. But Im in the testing pahse of implementing SOLMAN and I would like to know if this is a real feature or a flaw, and besides I would like to turn off this possible feature, just for the testing phase. This is not a big deal anyway.
    By the way, I also notice that if there is a partner assigned multiple times to a document, it doesnt trigger the mails as expected.
Best regards,
Federico.

Mail mac disconnected and not working when mac back sleeping

I have a problem with my mail app on imac and Mountain Lion installed.
when the mac goes in sleep mode, if the mail app was open,, on wake up all the accounts are disconnected and clicking the "connect the accounts" not working.
To fix it I have always to close and open again the mail app for connect the accounts.
With Lion this not happen.
Any help?
Regards
Michele

I have one other totally off the wall thought. OK educated guess, based on the fact that my day job involves writing file systems for other operating systems.
I have seen implementations where file timestamps are not written to disk until they absolutely need to be written. Until it is needed, the fact that the file has been touched is kept in memory.
Now I have only seen situations where it is the *Access Time* that is treated this way, NOT the *Modification Time*. The touch command modifies the Modification time by default. However, I do not know how the Mac OS X HFS+ file system deals with updating the on-disk timestamp values.
One thing you could try. Instead of using touch, use the date command redirected to a file on the target disk
0-59/12 * * * * date >/Volumes/MyHardDrive/.nospin.txt
This will give you verification of when the cron job last ran and do more than just touch the Modification Time on the file.
Or if you want a record of every time the cron job ran, change the > to >>
0-59/12 * * * * date >>/Volumes/MyHardDrive/.nospin.txt

Exchange Mail not working in Mac Mail

Hi, I've recently updated my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion and since then my Exchange email has stopped working. I've reset all the settings and followed the original instructions from my email/web host and it comes up with an error message:
"Unable to verify account information"
It continued to work on my iPhone 4 until I set up iCloud and then it stopped there too.
Not too sure what to try now. The servers are as my email host have stated and my username and password are the same as they've always been!
Please offer any help you can, it's very frustrating!

Luke:
Sorry that I cannot give you an answer. I am having the same problem. I have the correct exchange settings. I even turn off autodiscovery and set the external and internal servers to the same settings. Mail partially works, but it will "forget" older email items when they are still in an inbox. This is NOT an issue with iOS, so I think there is a bug in the Mail program. I am still searching for an answer as well. Right now I am resorting to exchange webmail on my mac. This seems to be only a mail problem. My calendar and tasks sync fine.

Mail not sending using .mac accounts

For years, I've had multiple .mac accounts. I've only had one listed as my official .mac account while the others I sent up in Mail as IMAP accounts. This has worked wonderfully this entire time.
BUT NOW, none of my .mac accounts are sending! I've tried changing the port to 587. I've tried deleting the accounts and recreating them. I've tried all that I can think of. Everytime I try to send I get a popup window asking for my password. I type in my password and it is rejected. I know that it is the correct password because I can login to apple's .mac site and send just fine with the same password. I also know that it is not my ISP. I've connected to the Internet from multiple locations (home, work, friends houses, etc.) and still have the same problem (when I could send from all of these places a week ago). What gives? Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP with the Mail.app?
If so, are you able to send messages with this account?
If yes, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac accounts which is invisible to all recipients.
Then call your ISP to ask if any recent changes were made blocking the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network even if authenticated such as the .Mac SMTP server.

Rich Text Mail not format when received by others

Am new to Mac and mail. Have set my mail accounts up ok and am sending formatted mail (rich mail, change font to arial and changed colour). However, when it is received by other computers (non-mac!!) the mail format is times roman and colour is black.
Can anyone help me with a solution?
Thanks

Is mail encoding the message so that it is unreadable by Entourage or Outlook? That is the program that at least one of the recipients is using.
Does anyone know what could be going on?
Sort of. Outlook is a crappy email client unless it is sending and receiving to/from itself. It even has trouble with Microsoft's own products like Entourage, Outlook for Mac and Outlook Express (Windows version).
Depending on the version of Outlook and the Exchange server that is hosting it, various problems will occur.
If you are sending to a known bad version, use Plain text and set the attachments to always at end. Another thing noted as helpful is setting the attachment to view as icon (right-click on it and choose view as icon).
Changing the font at the beginning of the message is known to work sometimes. Recently, some people have found that adding an empty plain text document as an attachment helps with some versions of Outlook.
Despite that fact that Outlook does not conform to email standards, Apple has tried to keep up with the various idiosyncrasies in Outlook, but Microsoft tends to stay one step ahead with new bugs.

Mail not working on mac book pro

I am trying to set up my email on my mac book pro. It stopped working correctly so I deleted my att account, and planned on using my icloud account figuring I wouldn't have any problems with that one. Well now when I go into mail, it won't let me set up either account. It says the server failed and I know I am entering my password correctly. Any suggestions?

This helped me. I guess it's bc I don't have lion yet? I was still able to configure my icloud. Hope it helps someone else.

Open mail on iphone, mail not available on mac

This morning I opened a piece of mail IN APPLE MAIL on my iphone.
The account is not a mac account, but it is a personal imap account
When I opned my APPLE MAIL on my computer, that piece of mail was not there.
Is there any way to make sure it is still available to me on my desktop mail?
The whole IMAP and POP thing is so confusing.
Thanks!

Assuming this is a POP account, what is your setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded for the account settings on the iPhone?
An IMAP account is ideal in this situation - accessing the same account with an email client on different computers or devices which provides for keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized automatically which is not possible with a POP account.

Cisco Unity Express 8.6.6 Voice Mail not deleting when e-mail with attachment deleted

I have a Cisco Unity Communications Manager rel 9.1.2 that supports a remote location with a Unity Express rel 8.6.6 voice mail service module in the voice gateway to insure if WAN goes down the location still has voice mail. We have Voice Mail to E-Mail working. The problem is that when the e-mail with the voice mail is deleted the message stays in the Unity Express Voice Mail Box. All of our local users on the same Call Manager Cluster using a local Unity Connection Cluster rel 9.1.2 have the voicemails deleted when the e-mail is deleted.
How can I resolve this issue?

Found another post that referenced Cisco Bug ID CSCti37610.
CUC plays message is from Unity Connection Messaging system
Symptom:Before message playback, Unity Connection plays the message is from Unity Connection Messaging System instead sender's ANI
Conditions:Problem was observed on Unity Connection cluster and appropriate services are not rebooted after changing the SMTP domain name
Workaround:
Restart the Unity Connection servers
It should have been fixed in 8.5 but we did change the SMTP domain name on 8.6 and now see the problem. Will schedule a reboot and see if the issue goes away.

As a follow up to my previous question about the mail not loading, when I went to see my account to confirm my e-mail, the message was not there, I had to go to my SO S L O W acoount to answer your request

I just confirmed my e-mail account, but I had to go to my very slow AOL connection since the message you guys sent me was not visible in the body of the page, just the header

Just to say there ARE lots of Apps on BlackBerry World, so potential BB purchasers should not let that stop them, and some very good free ones, excellent -- BlackBerry Travel is really good, and OsmAnd maps are fabulous, big to download, but when you get it you'll be amazed. Just download a provincial or smaller map to start, because they are huge files and very detailed, but lots of trails and paths are on them... good for park trails and such.

Aol mail not working in Mac Mail

I have had this problem several times and it's getting rather irritating. The SMTP servers are not responding. The following message keeps coming up:
Sending the message content to the server failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
After changing ports and following the numerous suggestions experienced by countless others with the same problem time and time again I still have found no solid reason as to why this happens or how to simply resolve the issue.
If anyone with knowledge and experience can shed any light on this troublesome problem then please make yourselves known.
I have followed threads and made all the correct adjustments including deleting and creating a new email account. Is this an AOL issue or a Mac issue? The mail works fine on the ipad and iphone.
I have also tried using different wifi and cable connections with the macbook I have my account installed on. It's the latest software 10.8.4 and a macbook pro 13'. 2011 model.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Chris

Hello Chris,
Thank you for so much information about the issue you are experiencing with your AOL account in Mail. You have taken some really great troubleshooting steps, but I recommend reviewing this article to further isolate and troubleshoot the issue:
