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 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 not receiving emails but sending them ok. It says updated at 11:28 but that was six hours ago and it won't update.

    my Mail is not receiving on my iPad but is sending fine.  Emails are sent and received fine on my iPhone and when accessing the account directly through safari.  It says updated at 11:28 but that was six hours ago and it is stuck there.
    i have tried restarting multiple times  with no luck.

    Have you tried signing out of your Mail account and then back in again?

  • Mail not receiving emails after being delivered on iphone (still on server)

    Mail is not receiving all of my emails once they have been delivered on my iphone. It seems to do this selectively. I logged into my account on the web and the emails are still there (as I have not requested emails to be deleted form the server). Please help!

    On the G5, Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

  • 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!!!

  • ICloud mail not receiving email on any platform

    The last email I received was last night.  Not getting any emails coming in on any device (iphone 4, macbook pro & mail).  I can send email and that works fine, but nothing is coming in.  Anyone else having this problem too?

    It seems as though somehow the culprit is apple mail.  Right now I have it closed and my messages seem to be coming through in both icloud.com and on my iphone.  Tonight I think I will reset apple mail and hopefully that solves the problem.  Have you ever had a similar problem?

  • Mail not Receiving Emails from Hotmail

    Dear all,
    I am using MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5, 4GB, OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 and my Mail Version is 8.1.
    I am trying to import mail from my Hotmail account but it is not working properly. I have setup Mail to Pop (pop3.live.com) , removing the messages from the server after receiving mail.
    However, after a few days using this configuration, there are still 39.000 messages left in the Hotmail server and the newest messages on my Mail software are dated on 25/09/2013, which means it is not getting messages from the Hotmail server as it should.
    What could be happening here?
    Thank you,
    Eduardo

    Uninstall the hotmail account and install it again.
    If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
    If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

  • Apple Mail not receiving emails after OS X update 10.6.7

    Hello,
    I have a strange problem. Apple mail has stopped receiving incoming messages after I did a software update of OS X 10.6.7. Outgoing mail is working fine.

    I performed a rebuild on the mail and have done a combo update as well without any success.
    Please help!!
    Thank you

  • Using osx 10.7.5 can send but not receive emails. Mail server support rep tried everything

    Using iMac with OSX 10.7.5. Can send but not receive emails. No problem with internet account. Server rep tried everything and suggested perhaps a corrupted file in the op syst. Any ideas?

    You may have a corrupt preference. Mail - Preferences - Accounts - click the offending account and re-enter all prefereneces. Also you can use Apple's OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages located at:

  • Mail not receiving new emails

    Since installing the latest update my Mail won't receive any new emails from my business account run through gmail.
    [email protected]
    Receiving fine on iPhone and through Thunderbird.
    Is anyone else having issues with Mail?
    Regards

    I am having the same problems. I am not receiving email to one of the six addresses I have in Mail. Ever since I updated to Mavericks, I've had problems with Apple Mail. I checked the activity and conneciton doctor, everything is green and connection is fine, but no email. I only receive the message if I quit mail and restart.
    I've been using apple for 10 years, and in the last year or so noticed they are going the way of windows in that there programs don't "just work" anymore. There are more and more issues creeping up with each new update.

  • When I had my old blackberry connected to my computer, all incoming emails were routed to my outlook so I did not get mails on my blackberry.  How do I get it so my iphone4 does not receive emails when connected to my computer?

    I am getting my iphone inbox bombarded so would like it to not receive emails when connected to my computer.  My old blackberry had an app that took care of this which worked really well.  Am wondering if I can do the same with my iphone4.

    Blackberries were/are able to do that with some types of e-mail accounts because the mail is routed to an intermediary (BlackBerry Service).
    There is no equivalent for the iPhone as the phone communicates directly with the mail servers and does not go through a 3rd party.
