Mail not regularly received?

Mail arrives in box erratically. Sometimes it can be picked up using another computer (windows) on the same network but is unavailable on this iMac. Formatting incomplete and not complete. Mail disappears from box -- I did not delete. A message saying "unable to deliver mail" but often there is mail in the inbox. Is there other mail that cannot be delivered? Mail is through Charter and I have a broadband connection. My box with the server is not full. Can you help me sort out this problem?

Was this ever resolved?  I know 3 people (including myself) with Mac mail having same issue last few weeks.
Completely UNRELIABLE!!!
Please advise solution and what apple doing to resolve.

  • Samsung note II, known issue of aol mail not being received on phone

    I spent hours on the phone with Customer Service this past Wednesday & Thursday because my aol mail is not being received on my new phone. I just did some research online, and found out this has been an issue with AOL and Verizon since December 2012. The Customer Service rep told me this just happened the past week! What a bold faced lie!
    I purchased this phone on or about July 3, and the AOL mail was working fine until this past Wednesday.
    This is a know issue, and yet the lie right to your face about it.
    I had a C/S rep tell me he would call me back later in the day, before he left work. I told him, I have heard that before. Oh, no, I will call you. Of course he didn't call. Your C/S reps think they can say whatever they want, but the calls have been monitored or tracked someway by your computer system.
    I see many others have the same problem with the Samsung Note II and their email accounts.
    Since December this has been going on, don't you think it's time you fixed the problem?
    Two years ago, when I spent $200 on a phone, I said never again. But yet I wanted a 5.5" screen so I paid up! Never again!

    I FINALLY spoke to someone today who was able to solve my problem so far.
    In the PLAY STORE....look for K9 email app.....and download that...put in your AOL email address and password. You should now be able to receive your aol email on your phone.
    It seems he has a Note II also, and had the same problem.
    You would think that MANAGEMENT would tell all their C/S reps how to solve the problem. I guess they would rather lose a customer who has been with them for 10 yrs.

  • Some sent Mac Mail not being Received

    My mac. mail account is receiving mail and indicates it is sending mail but it will not allow me to send my mail to myself (as a test) or to my friend with an active mac mail account. She is having the same problem. In an extra bizarre twist, one small forward externally received mail is able to be sent and received by us both. Neither my friend nor I are getting any error messages on our sent mail. Neither of us have any rules applying to our mail that we are aware of would impact sending and receiving mail. I have tried synching my account, etc.. and nothing seems to work. Can you please help.

    Hi. I had this exact same problem, and it had the same oddities yours does. It is an Apple problem, not sure exactly what. But the only way it got solved for me was to write .Mac tech support (be sure it is not their feedback page and also make sure it is .Mac tech support and not Apple). It took them three days, but they finally got back to me and when they did, they gave me detailed instructions that weren't needed, because the problem cleared for me. But not until hearing from them. Either mine was fixed by accident because they cleared the problem for other users who complained or they checked on mine and managed to find the problem.
    This cryptic message was included in my email: "Apple has implemented several measures in the .Mac Mail system to help resolve these issues. To assist in our continuing investigation, please inform us in the event that any messages sent from your .Mac account after September 7, 2006, are not received as expected."
    There has been some speculation that this problem is being caused by anti-spam software Apple has installed on some servers (to see how it worked—I guess not too well!).
    That's all I know about it! There are numerous other threads you can check out for more information, but for me, it was only writing .Mac tech support that made any difference (since the problem was totally on their end).
    Another workaround in the meantime—you can change your SMTP server to the server provided for your ISP. I changed it in my .Mac account that wasn't working and it worked fine sending from my Comcast SMTP server.
    Hope this helps!

  • Group addressed e-mails not being received

    My new iPad seems to be receiving e-mails that are specifically addressed to me just fine. But, I have noticed that e-mails addressed to a group of recipients (including me) are not being received on my iPad while my computer does. For example, my employer will send out an e-mail to all of the employees (as a group). I can view the e-mail on my computer but the iPad doesn't receive it. And, I'm using the same e-mail account on both. Why?

    OK, I've worked out how to set up a sub - account.
    BUT
    Concerned that if I set one up it will impact on my current BT Yahoo account, ie could e mails be diverted or will the sub account only be used to persons I share it with? The BTYahoo sub-account is a stand alone account and will only get emails that are addressed to it. If you want emails from it to go to your main account you would need to set up a forwarding rule.
    Also if/when I get replies will I see them on my normal BTYahoo e mail "In Box" page or on a different page? No. You would only see them in your "normal" email inbox if you do as I suggest above and have them forwarded to your "normal" BTYahoo email. If you don't do that the sub-account email behaves in the same manner as any other email account and you would need to log onto it to see the emails.
    Also
    Do you think it will solve the question posed above? You would need to establish what the problem is in the first place such as are the notifications being blocked by your spam filter, are they being sent etc  because the same thing could happen if you have them sent to your new sub-account email.

  • Dotmac e-mail not being received by some

    I have a variety of e-mail accounts, which use a couple of different servers (relay through my ISP).
    Within the past week, I have sent a series of e-mails from my non-dotmac account to folks with a dotmac account... I get the sent acknowledgement, but then (about 18-36 hours later) I get a failure notice, that the message has been in the queue too long.
    It's only happening when I sent to dotmac accounts, and I do seem to be receiving at least some of my dotmac e-mail.
    I've looked through the forums and can't find quite this issue. It's happening with e-mail sent from both my G4 laptop and my G5 desktop. And since I'm not having problems with other e-mail addresses, it seems to me like it's a dotmac server problem.
    Anyone else with this problem? Anyone with a suggested solution?
    Thanks!
    Chris

    Sent the message prematurely--- in the raw source view, found the 452 error... so for some reason dotmac is marking it as spam.
    I'll deal with my ISP.

  • Alerts Mails not getting received in outlook mail

    Dear All,
    I have configured alerts for my scenarios and they are getting trigerred also. But I am not able to receive those alerts in my outlook mail id rather i am able to see those alerts in alert inbox.
    Please suggest where might be the error in configuration.
    Regards,
    N.jain

    Hi,
    First start by creating the alerts with this BLOG
    /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--step-by-step
    Have a look at this SAP help file while creating the Container variables
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/942f3ffed33d67e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    To send email tomail box automatically when alert occurs in XI
    Can you check whether the below authorization is given to that user.
    For the sending of alerts via external communication methods (e-mail, sms, fax) and for inbound processing, an RFC user has to be created on the central alert server with the role SAP_BC_ALM_ALERT_USER. The authorization objects contained in this role are S_OC_SEND and S_RFC.
    refer the help:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b2/de0741375cf16fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    also
    check in ALRTCATDEF transaction what is the user maintained under the fixed receipent tab for that user check the email address in SU01 transaction.
    Please check in transaction SCOT (you can give address of your SMTP server in order to send mails),
    If it is configured then probably you need to personalized alert delivery. In alert inbox you can select personalized alert delivery and check for "Mail" option.
    In SCOT you can see how many mails have beed sent via your XI system.
    most of the time email problem is solved by correcting configuration in SCOT. For testing mail system click on System->short message and then send one message to yourself

  • Yahoo mail not being received on Apple Mail.

    I have a primary Yahoo Mail account with 3 sub accounts.  One of the sub accounts will not longer download emails to my iMac Mail.
    However, these emails are being received on my iPhone 6 and iPad3.  I have contacted Apple Support by phone and after they troubleshot the problem, it was determined that it was a Yahoo problem.  I am having no luck with Yahoo Support.   Thank You for any help.

  • Lines of message in Mail not being received by Windows users

    In the last few days I have started having problems with Windows users not receiving all the lines of my messages. I have been using Mail software for years with no trouble. I think some whole messages that I have sent have also gone astray but it's hard to be sure.
    Can anyone help ?
    I can't send PDFs of all my messages - it would take too long as I send a lot of messages.
    powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    It is certainly possible to send/forward attachments that are infected with a Windows virus but your Mac does not have a virus since there are none that affect or infect OS X which just had it's 6th birthday not long ago.
    It is a good idea to place attachments below all message text including a signature regardless if sending to an Mac or Windows PC user since all email clients with either platform do not display attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message.
    But they are not arriving at various recipients, not just only one.
    And this has never happened before. It seems odd that different
    servers should suddenly all start rejecting my emails.
    Yes it seems odd but this is NOT caused by your Mac, by OS X or by the Mail application. Since the messages were successfully sent, the problem lies with the SMTP server being used to send messages with the account or with the recipient's incoming mail server with the latter being the most common.
    Your email address or the domain for the address or a range of computer IP addresses may now be mistakenly blocked by the incoming mail server or domain for these recipients but the recipient's incoming mail server is usually where any such problem lies regardless.

  • Some outgoing mail not being received..

    When I send email, it is marked as 'sent' in the sentbox, but people are not receiving it.. at the moment I am sending a second email to ask whether people have received the first. Sometimes they only receive the first email and not the second, sometimes the second and not the first, and sometimes neither...
    the messages all show up in the sent box as 'delivered' so there is no way of working out which are at fault.. or why!?

    It isn’t clear whether you’re talking about Mac OS
    X’s Mail or about some webmail service, but if a sent
    message doesn’t reach its destination, it could be
    the outgoing server’s fault or, more likely, that the
    message was filtered out by either the recipient’s
    incoming mail server or the recipient’s mail client
    for some (probably spam-related) reason.
    Check that your System Preferences > Date &
    Time settings are correct. An invalid timestamp
    in the message headers could be the reason one of the
    servers involved is rejecting those messages. And if
    the mail client used to send those messages doesn’t
    set the date & time correctly, that could also have a
    bearing on this. .Mac webmail, for example,
    apparently doesn’t add a Date header to the
    messages sent that way, which could very well have a
    bearing on those messages being filtered out at the
    recipient’s incoming mail server.
    We are having the same problem with our Mail program. Some recipients are not receiving emails at all. Some receive one but not another. Yesterday, an email was sent to one person, copying another. Neither received it. We resent. The second time was definitely received by the person who was copied (not sure about the "To"). Then, a couple of minutes, later, the first version appeared in the copied person's inbox. One person has been sent two different emails in two days and we are still getting a "haven't heard from you response." Yet, I know that majority of emails being sent out do go through.
    I have checked the Date & Time in System Preferences to ensure that they are correct. (They are.) I have also thought that perhaps our domain or host has been barred by the affected recipients' email programs. After reading this, though, I am leaning more to the possibility that the problem lies with the outgoing server. It was recently switched to SMTP, and there were problems initially that I thought had been resolved.
    BTW, Mail preferences are set up to pull emails directly from our website's host server and are set out via our ISP.
    I'd like to know how everyone makes out.
    Thanks,
    Christopher

  • Incoming mail not being received

    Hi, and thanks in advance for any assistance rendered!
    Last evening I got a signal that my Mail quota was reaching full, so I set about finding how to move old messages into folders to clear some room for more email to come in. (I have a .Mac account.) That seemed to go fine, but I have discovered that I have not received a single email from that time until this afternoon... and I get daily emails from some sources, but they did not come in!
    I checked account info in mail, and the quota has room for new mail, and the number of messages in the inbox says 15102, and the number of messages in the mail application itself says 15101, but I'm missing more than just one.
    I've done all the connecting checks and all the basic stuff, but I'm wondering how to find email that hasn't arrived but should have...
    Thanks again for any assistance!

    This would be very easy to show you, but it can be
    quite difficult to explain.
    Too true!
    It is critical
    that you differentiate between your .Mac mail account
    as viewed on .Mac with a web browser, and a .Mac
    account that you have created in the Mail application
    on your Macintosh to access these same messages.
    So, when you say, "On the left side bar where it
    lists inbox, etc., on the mail window itself, I
    managed to create and name folders where I moved some
    old messages to in order to lower the quota." I
    need to know what you mean.
    While I presume that you are describing the left
    sidebar in the Mail application, and not the
    somewhat similar left sidebar in a browser window
    displaying your .Mac account,
    You presume correctly.
    where there is also an
    Inbox along with additional boxes for Draft messages,
    Sent mail and mail you have moved to the Trash in
    that web view. You can create additional mailboxes in
    that same sidebar, but that's not what I was
    referring to.
    Got it.
    If you are referring to your Mail application and
    creating mailboxes in it, them moving mail to those
    On My Mac mailboxes I described, you will have only
    archived them to your Macintosh and simultaneously
    removed them from .Mac if, when you did so,
    you created them using the On My Mac option,
    and not the [email protected] option shown
    in the Mail application.
    Since reading this, I've managed to do both; I've got the messages in folders under my email [email protected] that I created before I contacted Apple Discussions, and then, in trying to follow your careful instructions (thanks!) on my Mail Application, I created a new mailbox locating it in On My Mac, as I think you meant I should do. I then tried to move the first batch of folders on my mail app by dragging them into the new mailbox/On My Mac folder (all of this is being done in the Mail Application, not the browser of .Mac) and now I have two sets of the same folders; one for On My Mac and the one for my email address. Yikes. Can I safely delete one set, if so should it be the ones in the folders under my email address?
    It seems that freeing up only 10 megabyte of room is
    almost inconsequential, and your account will very
    shortly be out of space again. That leads me to
    believe that you didn't create these mailboxes using
    the On My Mac option, or you didn't move very many of
    your stored messages, relative to the 15,000 plus
    messages stored on .Mac itself.
    I did only have time to move a couple of thousand emails, and am in the process of moving more mail... I trust I succeeded, as the quota bar went down some.
    You should have 1024 megabytes of basic storage,
    allocated between iDisk and your .Mac electronic mail
    account. If you click on the .Mac home page and press
    the Account button then log in, you can see how your
    Email storage and iDisk storage options are
    configured. If you press the Storage Settings
    button, you can allocate additional space for
    electronic mail, as long as you have free space on
    your iDisk. It appears that the maximum available
    allocation for electronic mail is 588 megabytes, not
    much more than you already apparently have.
    If you cannot allocate more space for electronic
    mail, you can press the Buy More button to purchase
    up to 2048 megabytes of total storage for $ 49.95 per
    year, or 4096 megabytes of storage for $ 99.95 per
    year. I believe, however, that your best strategy is
    to reorganize (hint: remove) electronic mail messages
    from .Mac and archive them on your Macintosh. This
    requires that you have sufficient available hard disk
    space on your Macintosh, and that you have a strategy
    for backing these archived messages up, as they will
    no longer exist on the .Mac servers.
    Forgive my questions if they seem silly, but am I archiving them from .Mac onto my Macintosh by moving them into the On My Mac new mailbox folders?
    I still see some of the ones I moved into folders still in the .Mac window.
    Thanks for any and all assistance you give,
    Kcat

  • Mail not being received.

    Hello Everyone,
    I've been helping my aunt with her MacBook anytime she encounters an issue. She doesn't do all the fancy programing or sets specific settings to customize her laptop. All she uses it for is music, internet, facetime, mail, and occasional word processing for my little cousin. She called me with an issue that her password wasn't working in the Mail app on the computer. We opened Safari to go to the mail site, (www.hotmail.com) to see if her password was infact incorrect. Her password was correct, so it's the Mail application that isn't working. Can anyone help us please? I've done everything that I know on my end.
    Thanks in advance guys!

  • OSX Mountain Lion Up-to-date claim validation mail not yet received

    I live in India. I bought an iMac from a Apple Reseller on 23rd June 2012 which qualifies me for the free upgrade to OSX Mountain Lion. I filled out the form, entered all the details correctly (though in the last step Apple didn't give an option to select country as India, but I filled the form anyways) and was given a Claim Reference Number.
    It's 2nd day today and I haven't received any email regarding the redemption code. What's going on?

    Oh well well.. just 30 minutes after I posted the above question, I got the validation email. Now let's see if the code actually works.

    the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
    The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
    When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
    As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
    When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
    Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but  he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • Mail not receiving junk mail

    ok. so most of you would think this isn't a problem, but my mail isn't receiving any junk. i usually receive a minimum of 2 junk messages an hour, but i have had no activity since this morning. my regular mail is fine. this happened about a month and a half ago and i didn't receive any junk for 4 days. it was really strange. i have things that go to junk, like my ebay or stuff from my inlaws (that just makes me smile) that i need to read but don't want popping up on my iphone. also, i have checked my mobileme and it isn't showing up there either.
    thanks for any advice!

    On my computer there were only three junk mail messages - checked my wife's computer and there were at least 25, including a couple that were VERY important. Why would junk mail show on one computer and not the other?
