Mail not getting some EMails

Hi,
since i've updated from Tiger to SnowLeopard, the Mail-App is working and picking up EMails (over IMAP). When i use my iPod Touch and see new EMail (also via IMAP), i also look into the Mail-App on my MacBook but there's still no new EMail. Also when i click to the Button "Get new EMails", there's still no new EMail. I just close the Application and open again, suddenly the new EMail is here. This happens sometimes, but not always.
Most of the time, when i want to send EMail, the Mail-Application has an error, the smtp-server is not confirming the user (or similar meaning). When i wait 5 Mins and send again, it'll be ok.
I didn't change sth in the Mail-properties and also not my provider. My iPod Touch is working fine with getting new EMails, just the new Mail-App is not working well anymore after update.
Did someone notice this problem, too?
After Update to SnowLeopard, i also can't access files on my Linux-based (Samba) NAS. When i click to a zip-file or jpg-file, the finder tells me, that it can't find the Application to open the file. A few days after the update, i can't copy files to my NAS anymore. This also happens on my gf's MacBook where i updated from Leopard to SnowLeopard.
Can somebody help me with this problems? I don't use any firewall or virus-scanner. I also didn't use / install any system-optimizer.

MAIL not receiving some email

I am not receiving email from only certain Senders. From what I can tell, this started several months ago. I have the additional complication of having an AOL account as well as a .Me account accessed thru MAIL. BOTH are experiencing email loss from only certain senders. One of those is my wife who has the same MAC BOOK PRO, same version of Snow Leopard, and same set up for an AOL account accessed thru MAIL, thru the same ISP.
My MAIL Connection Dr shows BOTH accounts with a red dot stating LOG in to SMTP acct failed- Verify user name and Password, which coincidentally is the same notice I get from MAIL periodically. As far as I know, it is all correct, and I would assume, if it were NOT, I would not get ANY mail.
Anyone have any ideas? This whole SMTP and IMAP concept has me stumped, though I don't know if it is related to this. My MAIL vesion is 4.6.

It's only Incoming from specific senders is all the feedback I have to date. One of my AOL-MAIL senders was subsequently able to (get thru) send me the Undeliverable mail notice he got back from the AOL Server. I reviewed it with AOL Tech who was not able to discern the cause. My AOL filters are OFF. Other senders get nothing back.
Since it is happening to both accounts, I suspect a MAIL problem.
My MobileMe IMAP acct. ends in "@mac.com" because that is my Apple ID which I have had since the .MAC days. My email address is @Me.com. My incoming server is "imap.mail.me.com."
My AOL IMAP acct is my AOL email ending in "@aol.com." The Incoming Server is "imap.aol.com."

Mail not getting new email

I have had trouble getting Mail to go and get my new email. I believe that it is a problem with Mail, because I was able to check my mail online through my schools webmail address, and I also created an account on Entourage, and it worked there too. Here is the error message when I try to check my email:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "Steve's ASU Email" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "imap1.asu.edu" on port 993 timed out.
Please let me know if you know how to fix this, thanks!!!

Does your school's email account support and require using SSL for the incoming mail server?
Port 993 indicates use SSL for the incoming mail server is selected.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, deselect use SSL and the port should change to 143 for the incoming mail server if the account is an IMAP type account.
Test if this resolves the problem.

Where can I look for my SPAM, I am not getting some emails I am expecting?

I am expecting a refund from Wal Mart and they said they have sent it to me and that I should check my SPAM if I haven't received it, I do not let garbage or SPAM enter the inbox, so I have no idea where to look to see if indeed they have sent me the refund and it did in fact go into SPAM. Would appreciate the help, thank you.

Thunderbird does not use a Spam folder. Log into your account at your providers web mail page and check the Spam folder there.

I am only getting some emails in Mail app

I have two computers, my iMac and an XP running Outlook. Both have the same settings to retrieve email from my hosting service.
I am only getting some email to my iMac/Mail app. That is, I can log onto my web server and see eMails marked as unread that won't download and others that do download.
All messages come to my XP / Outlook box.
I have been on with my hosting tech support and everything is fine from their side, so I assume it must be something with Mail.
Please help, this is my first week in the Apple world after being a windows user for over 15 years.
Thanks!

Hello Paul.
Be carefull when using multiple mail clients on a single POP account, that's not the way POP was designed.
Consider using IMAP instead, or be carefull with the settings of each of your email client, especially concerning the deletion policy.
Most email client can be configured to delete message from the server immediatly, after a period of time, or never.
What could happen is Outlook does retrieve mail fine, then deletes them.
When Mail comes to get the mail, it only gets the one arrived after the last Outlook retrieve, but Mail by default keeps message on the server for something like 7 days, that's why Outlook can then retrieve all messages the next time it checks your POP account, but because it deletes them all, Mail is missing some of them.
Why reward points ?

I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

Try to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings. It won't delete your data.
When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted?

I am signed into my iTunes account. However, Im asked for answers to security questions I can't remember. I have clicked to reset through e-mail, yet I am not getting any email from iTunes. Any advice on fixing this?

If you are not getting the email, you can contact Apple Support to have your Security Questions reset:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get them reset, check your Rescue Email address on Manage Your Apple ID to make sure it is still a functional address. It is not the same as your primary or alternate address.

Hello, Can anyone tell me if there is any mail to get in touch with Apple support? ... I do not remember my password for my IDApple and when I enter iforgot.apple to recover I do not get the email

Hello, I'm trying to get my Apple ID password but when I enter the page that helps you to recover it tells me to send an email and I do not get ... with what I can not reset my password ... Can anyone help me? ... Are there any email from Apple support where you can tell what I get to help me to recover?. Thanks!

Apple does not have email support. If you're not getting the email verification from Apple, check your anti-spam filters, on your computer and with your email provider, to make sure that emails from Apple aren't being blocked. You can also try the Security Questions option rather than the email authentication. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36
Otherwise, you'll need to call Apple support:

Can not view (some) emails with attachments

There has already been some discussion about individuals getting the "This message has not been downloaded from the server" error.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4983643
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I am using GMail and am having problems reading (some) emails with attachments. I can read the first several lines through the preview view, but can not open (some) emails without getting the "This message has not been downloaded from the server" error.
The problem appears to be completely random. The problem occurs sometimes after I open the email on my computer, and other times it occurs before I open the email on my computer. And sometimes opening the email on my computer does not cause any problem opening the email on my phone.
I have seen this problem on two different phones now and have re-created the email accounts on both phone several times. But the problems keeps (eventually) appearing--for some, but not all emails.
 PowerBook G4, Macintosh 512K iPod nano (2nd Gen 8GB), iPhone (8GB)

So, I think things are actually sending/downloading and it's just taking time and the iphone is defaulting to the error message.
I don't think that's the case. I have several week-old messages on my iPhone (each under 300k) that still say "The message has not been downloaded from the server."
I've been connected to wifi for over an hour now, so that's plenty of time to downloaded these few small emails. I can read the "preview" of the message from the Inbox screen, but when I click on the message itself, I get the error.
And, those messages with the attachments that I was able to open this morning? I can no longer open them now. Very, very frustrating.

Not receiving some emails from specific sender.

Hi.I just started getting the problem of not receiving some emails. I have not had this problem with the sender until yesterday. My sender is sending me emails from gmail, some with attachments and some without, to my comcast email and it's not getting through. It is just one specific sender that I know of. I narrowed it down to my comcast account because I had the sender send myself the email to my comcast address and cc me on my gmail address. I received it on my gmail account but not my comcast account. I use Outlook for comcast but I even checked the webmail on comcast with nothing there. I checked the spam folder also and it's not there. Please help, these are important emails. Thank you.

Same issue, as far as I know it is just 1 person. But I have no way of knowing. I also had them CC my Gmail and it went through to Gmail but not my comcast. I then had them use a secondary comcast email and it didn't go through. Comcast seems to be blocking this person for some unexplained reason. It's frustrating and so far has cost me $525 because they thought I was ignoring them. They are using my Gmail until I get it straightened out, so the financial loss shouldn't increase, I just hope others aren't having the same problem and I don't know about it.

<Insert mail provider> guide Ipad
if following the guide of your mail provider does not result in fixing your problem
then maybe your carrier block the required ports your mail provider need in order to send you mails

TS1398 bought a mini and also have an IPAD2 have used ITunes to download all programs to the mini but have NOT BEEN ABLE TO have the connection to the Internet and CAN NOT get any emails. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!

I thought when I bought a MINI that all I'd need to do is sync up with ITunes to get all apps and setting to the Mini. I was wrong as I can not connnect to the internet and can not get any emails. Have tried just about all suggestions under support but need to reach out to actual users who may have run into similar prblem. I must be missing something as I have to believe that Apple would make it as simple/easy as possible to connect to the interne. I still have my internet connect with my Ipad2.
appreciate any help on this one as MY WIFE is driving me crazy as she wants to use the internet with HER MINI!!!
Thx Wayne

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.

Not getting any email notification after configuration

Hi
I had configured in portal for E-Mail notification by using the following link .
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/5a/d089b338769f40a3a86ea938701c3f/frameset.htm
but still i am not getting any email notification when i reset or lock the user .
Can any one tell me what should be done for that.
Thanks
shashank

Hi shashank,
you referenced the configuration for the collaboration service e-mail transport.
This is needed for instance for the collaboration rooms invitation.
For notifications about user management you will have to configure e-mail notification in the UME.
See:

To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
(It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)
