MAIL not sending or receiving

I am having problems with mail. Until around midnight everything worked fine. I noticed that I did not receive any mail during the day and enquired to my service provider. Between us we have checked all the account details and they confirmed that everything was correct. They checked and found that there were 6 e-mails in my in box. I then logged in online and retrieved them using the usual passwords and settings. Can anyone help please?

A couple of questions first:
1) Have you changed locations with your laptop?
2) Have you tried just re-starting.*
*I'm having a similar problem, but just restart and everything starts working fine.

HELP!!!! Mail not sending nor receiving...Security Update broke it?

So i had a perfectly working set-up for mail and calendar on Mac OS X 10.6.3, but this weekend it stopped working. Mail is not getting in nor out of my system. I can not even send mail to myself. When I look into the logs i see the following errors..
SMTP Log
Apr 26 23:07:14 xserve postfix/smtp[36771]: 8F7F8800000E1CD58: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=599, delays=599/0.02/0.01/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)
JUNK Mail/ VIrus Scanning
Apr 26 21:07:38 xserve.filmmakerforacause.org /usr/bin/amavisd[27443]: DKIM signature verification disabled, corresponding features not available. If not intentional, consider enabling it by setting: $enabledkimverification to 1, or explicitly disable it by setting it to 0 to quench down this warning.
It is NOT grey listing as i have long since fixed that. Any help out there? I have NO email right now, so this is a MAJOR issue. We installed the security update over the weekend. I am pointing toward that as the issue?

Ok I have fixed the ability to send. The console said that root wasn't owner of "amavisd.conf" .. i used the sudo chown.. and now I can send to external addresses & internal addresses and receive internal to my network. Mail is still not coming in from EXTERNAL addresses. help?

Mail not sending or receiving emails

my mail refuses to receive or send any emails,it just stopped working all of a sudden

It's possible you need to login and change your passwords. The recent Heartbleed bug has required many users to change their passwords. Regardless it's a good idea to change your passswords at least once a year for security.
Open the Connection Doctor under Window when Mail is active.
You should see green lights to show accounts are connected.
You will see two entires for most accounts. One for sending (SMTP) and the other for receiving. iCloud accounts only show up as one entry.
If you see a red light you can select to Show Details button to find why you are having problems connecting.
Receiving is set in the main window for the account. Change your password then click out of the account to save.
Sending password is set in Edit SMTP. Select the account from the list. Under Advanced, add the password.
Note, sometimes you will find extra SMTP settings listed. Deleting an account does delete the SMTP settings. You can delete these.

E-mail not sending or receiving, sometimes

Hello everyone,
I have posted some questions on these forums and you guys have always been able to help me. So here goes. My wife and I have separate profiles on our iMac and we seem to have different issues. On both our profile, especially l, quite often we get a window pop up and say that the pop server has rejected my password. I enter the correct password and it rejects it again and again. I hit cancel and the message disappears and I seem to get my messages. My wife however seems to be losing mail. Both incoming and outgoing. I'm not sure where to start in attempting to fix this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank in advance!

Hi , my suggestion would be to backup your email and export your contacts and just remove and recreate the accounts in the email application. If your using Mail or Entourage this is easy enough to do , if your still having issues after recreating the accounts i would speak to your email provider.

HT1430 Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

Is this on wifi or cellular data?
Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

I cannot not send and receive e-mails

Translated with the help of Google Translate.
Mail: Version 7.3 (1878.6)
Two-step verification set
Since a number of weeks I cannot not send and receive e-mails.
And I cannot find an answer in the support community.
I suppose the cause can be found in the two-step verification or in the TLS certificate ... but in this I am a layman.
The connection wizard explanes:
iCloud IMAP Failed to log on this iCloud IMAP account. Make sure the username and password are correct
SMTP Failed to log on this SMTP account. Make sure the username and password are correct.
I'm 99.999% sure that the username and password are correct. Those missing 0.001% can be found in another problem somewhere else. Who advises me?
My settings are as follows:
[Account Information]
iCloud IMAP
E-mail: [email address] @ me.com
Incoming mail server: imap.mail.me.com
username: [email address] @ me.com
password: my iCloud account {four digits, a hyphen, five Uppercase, 1 lowercase}
server name outgoing e-mail: smtp.mail.me.com
TLS certificate
[Outgoing mail server / Edit SMTP Server List / account information]
Server Name: smtp.mail.me.com
TLS certificate
[Outgoing mail server / Edit SMTP Server List / advanced]
custom port: 587
Use SSL: yes
Authentication: Password
username: [email address] @ me.com
password: that of my iCloud account
[Advanced]
IMAP path prefix: left blank
Port: 993
Use SSL: yes
Authentication: Password
Use IDLE command: checked.
I hope I get soon an answer.

Can not send or receive "Mail"

I've recently had a problem with "Mail" sending. After trying to research help on line, I gave up and reformatted with Leopard 10.5, with no success. So I topped that off with updating to "Snow Leopard" 10.6.8 now I can not do either receive nor send.

Mail will not send or receive. It intermittently stops working. Why?

Mail will not send or receive. It intermittently stops working. Why?

I had problems with sending emails from one server in particular, however, I would ask if you have gone to the page of your server and found specific instructions for configuring your mail. My iMAC would not send out emails, so I went to my (Italian) server's page and solved the problem.
It was not sufficient to let the MAC wizard connect you up with your server, and, indeed, MAIL invited me to consider installing the server's email manually. So doing, my problem was solved.
Your server's page should have a list of email programs (cf Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) , with instructions as to how to configure them. Look for the item referring to Macintosh Mail, keep it in background in order to go back to it as you configure your mail.
My problem was that I could not convince Mail to accept the out connection, but when I eliminated my server entirely in Mail's Preferences, I added that server once again: Mail told me that it could not safely transfer my password and asked me if I wanted to set up the site manually. I clicked on manual, and found very precise specifications as to the number of the port to be used, then instructions on how to find the menu for the out mail, with a particular number I had to insert in the drop-down menu they specified.
It was not as complicated as it sounds here, but requires patience.

Will not send or receive e-mail

Got a Blackberry 8530 Curve, have done what it requests in setting up e-mail. When trying to send an e-mail it says to configure e-mail, when try to configure it says that e-mail is already set up but will still not send ot receive. Just about ready to tape it to a brick and return it through the window!!!

I'm not sure what that would accomplish.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner:
With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Now, try your email again.
If still nothing, look at Options > Advanced > Default Services.
Do you have your email account listed as the default messaging agent?
If yes, then also do this:
On your BlackBerry device, go to:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.
