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!!!

Has anyone else lost their Sucure Notes in Keychain since upgrading to Mavericks?

Since upgrading to Mavericks i have lost all my Secure Notes in Keychain.
I had backed up OS10.8.5 on my Time capsule before upgrading but can not access the backups in time capsule- they appear as a black screen in the Time Capsule window.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks

I am having the same issue. I've used secure notes in keychain for many years and now they have all dissapeared! Not good.

My Sprint cellphone has not received emails since yesterday and I entered the correct settings incoming and outgoing from my Thunderbird email account, advise?

I have not received emails on my Sprint Galaxy S3 since yesterday morning. I can send but not receive. I have matched my settings to the phone from my Thunderbird account. I thought I had everything synced. Sprint told me there may have been a change in server settings from Thunderbird but I never received any notification from Thunderbird. I am at a loss and not very good at this so any help will be appreciated.
If anyone can answer and I don't respond quickly, I will answer as soon as possible. Thank you.

Thunderbird is not an email provider. It has no servers to have settings to be changed. It is email client software just like the one you have on your phone. You would need to get the correct server settings from your email provider and set your phone to use them correctly.
Too bad that the "helpless desk" at Sprint is not smart enough to know that.
Thunderbird software does not run on any mobile phones so troubleshooting your phone is outside the scope of this forum.
One thought, is your email account set up as IMAP or POP?
You really need an IMAP account if you are going to use multiple devices to check your email. If you use POP and have your computer set to remove the emails off the server then there are no messages left on the server of your email provider for the phone to download. IMAP email is server based and the messages are left on the server and remotely viewed by the remote devices.

I can't get any email since upgrading to Maverick. I don't use timeline I have Carbonite

Why does Mail open in guest account but not my account since upgrade to Mavericks?

I've read a lot of threads but not found anything that works for me. The history is this:
I've upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2. Since then, Mail won't open in my own user account. I only get a very brief error message:
Process:
Mail [1448]
Path:
/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
Identifier:
com.apple.mail
Version:
7.2 (1874)
Build Info:
Mail-1874000000000000~1
Code Type:
X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process: launchd [157]
Responsible:
Mail [1448]
User ID:
I have gone to user/Library/Mail and deleted the contents of the folder Mailboxes + all the other mailboxes. No change - Mail still won't open.
If I switch user accounts to guest user, Mail opens normally (sets up email accounts etc).
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Rebooted in safe mode, repaired disc permissions, rebooted (again in safe mode) but no difference.
There was a bit more detail I could / should have added.
1) Before it crashes, Mail says it is Upgrading your Mail database.
2) I downloaded Mail update but Installer said none of the drives were compatible. (Anyway Mail works fine in Guest Account)
3) I've been through all the tips on this post https://discussions.apple.com/message/23490745#23490745http://
and
looked at Internet accounts in Preferences and none of my email accounts is checked with Mail. It asks for a password for each one but when I provide it I get the message Unable to verify account name or password. And if I try and uncheck iCloud with Mail I get the message that I need to do that from within Mail. (Obviously not possible until I can open Mail).
In Terminal tried defaults delete com.apple.mail ColorQuoterColorList but got the message that it hadn't been done.
Tried to find Envelope.x.x files as per this fix:     Final solution: Go into ~Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes > Delete all mailboxes. Then go to ~Library/Mail/V2/Maildata and delete 3 or more "Envelope.x.x" files > Restart Mail, and enjoy your success.     but don't have a V2 folder nor Envelope.x.x files. I do have Envelope Index file and Envelope Index - journal
I don't suspect 3rd party applications because I think they are all available in the Guest Account aren't they?
Many thanks for your reply though. Any more ideas?

IPad has stopped receiving email from mail app I use yahoo can log in thru safari but app has not received email since 3/10/15

Try this...
Double-click the Home button
Swipe left or right and find the Yahoo Mail app
Swipe up on the preview of the Yahoo Mail app to force quit it
Hold down on both the Home AND Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo on black screen (about 10 seconds).
When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of both buttons.
After it restarts, launch Yahoo Mail and see if it works.
Hope this helps!

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...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

Why can't I set up a new remote email since upgrading to Mavericks?

Since I upgraded to Mavericks, I have tried unsuccessfully to set up an email account from a domain I have on Blue Host. All my other old ones work fine. I have set up all the accounts identical, but the new one has problems I think with the password. What's going on?? Could it be connected to the new Password encryption set up

I am having the same problem. Did you find any answers?

Mail not receiving emails with word attachments

MS Outlook 2011 for Mac will no longer automatically send and receive email since upgrade to OS 10.9 Mavericks. Does anyone know of a solution?

I have been having trouble with Outlook 2011 for Mac since updating to OS 10.9 Marvericks. I have tried updating the database and identity. I can get email if a go to each account and try to download it. But email will not come automatically and can I send and receive all accounts. Does anyone have a solution? I do not want to lose my email, contacts and information.

I am also finding that searching in Mail for emails in this account is leading to false negative results. It's astonishing that I can search for an email I know is in the Inbox list yet not find it unless I scroll down to it manually and clicking it. Then it will show up in the results if I search again. I just did "rebuild" a day ago (have to do that every few days or so to get Outlook Exchange emails restored again anyway), so I doubt that this would fix the issue, but even if it did it's ridiculous... do I really have to abandon Mail and move to Microsoft Outlook on my mac to read my emails? Mail is currently FAILING to work for those of us who have to deal with Microsoft servers... which must be a huge # of customers, Apple.
