Problem with Mail not showing new messages

Since 2 weeks, my Mail does not show any of my 'hotmail' messages receive. The connection diagnosis said there are no problem with the account and server. It seems to download incoming mail (which also show in hotmail) but Mail does not show any new messages.

Mail not showing new messages

As of about 4 days ago my Mail app is not displaying new e-mails. It says '19 incoming messages' but they never appear. I have tried:
- Replacing mail.plist with older version from time machine
- Rebuilding mailboxes
- Asking my web hosts if there is any problem their end - no problems there.
- Checked the 'get account info' box which displays the 19 messages with 'unknown sender' still on the server.
Any other ideas anyone?

Mail not showing new mail

Mail is no longer showing new messages when they arrive. I have to go to Take All Accounts Offline and then Take All Accounts Online, and only then to the messages appear in the inbox. I think this started after upgrading to Mavericks. Does anyone know how this can be resolved?

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

My voice mail indicator is not showing new messages

The message indicator not lighting up...collecting messages for several days without me knowing it. What do I do?

this is probably happening because your carrier doesn`t support visual voice mail, so your iphone won`t count your voice mails and show it to you.

Mail not showing recent messages

I have my mail set up to show last 50 messages, but as soon as I read a message, it disappears on my phone. I have my mail set up to fetch, should it be on push or manual or does it not matter? It's just frustrating when I'm out and need to access my email and it's no longer on my phone.

Unless the email account supports push access for received email, push being on or off makes no difference.
Push is supported with a Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset, with an Apple iCloud account, and with an Exchange account?
If the account is a POP account, are you also accessing the account with an email client on your computer that remains launched and running actively checking the account for new messages which your iPhone is doing the same?
If yes, what is the account setting with the email client on your computer for removing messages from the server after being downloaded?

Mail icon shows new messages but cannot access them

I am setting up my email account on my new iPod Touch. Put in all the info, the account is verified, the mail icon shows 50 unread messages, but when I tap the icon I see the same old list of mail services, iCloud, MS Exchange, but not my account. My mail service, an independant, supports pop and iMac so I have set it up as both and neither works. Seems like it is logging into the account. Any idea?

It is covered in the Troubleshooting chapter of the iPod users Guide. It includes:
"Restarting and resetting iPod touch
If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPod touch, forcing an app to close, or resetting
iPod touch.
Restart iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger
across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, hold down the On/Off button
until the Apple logo appears. \"

Mail not showing new mail until I switch out of and back into INBOX

When new mail is downloaded, the messages do not appear in the INBOX until I have moved to (clicked on) another mailbox and then moved back to INBOX. The unread message count reflects the correct number of unread messages until the above procedure has been followed. Similarly, when messages are moved to another mailbox, the messages sometimes do not leave the INBOX list until the same procedure is followed. This is a relatively recent problem (last couple of months, I think). Any ideas?

Try rebuilding the mailbox. Here's a reference: Mail (Mountain Lion): Rebuild mailboxes

TS3276 Mail not receiving new messages

I just purchased my MacBook Air 13 in last week. Love it, but I am having a problem with Mail. I use Google mail for my work, and it sends fine. It also comes through fine some of the time, but after a time, it stops receiving new messages. I notice, as I continue to get them on my phone. Once I 'exit mail' and then reopen, they all suddenly come through.
Any idea what I can do to fix this?

Same issue. Not found a fix other than restarting mail.

SecUpd2006-002, mail not showing new mails in dock anymore

hello folks,
i am not sure if the following problem is linked to the SecUpd2006-002 i just installed, but this just occured afterwards:
mail is not showing the arrival of new emails in the dock anymore!
ya know, that little red dot with the numbers of new mails in it.
(is there a button or something to toggle this on and off anyway?)
in mail itself they are still marked as new (bold letters) but in the dock nothing happens.
anyone else having this problem? found out a solution already?
thank you for your thoughts.
p.s.: have repaired permissions already

all right, found the solution by myself:
was kind of a font problem.
got a helvetica font from a customer. installation seems to have overwritten/removed the "normal" helvetica font installed by the system.
so mail went nuts. noticed - besides the above mentioned problem - that the headers of the mails seemed to be a little weird: mail-adresses bigger sizes (or different font) than the other infos.
so, if you ever run into something similar like this: clean up your fonts ;o)
glad it's over, have a good one!

Iphone will not show new message alert for email sent to subfolders

I have successfully synced my iphone with the exchange server so I am getting push email from entourage to my phone. However I have subfolders set up in entourage so that my email is organised. These subfolders are showing on my iphone. Although email sent to subfolders is pushed to the iphone (to the relevant subfolders), when the phone is on the home screen it does not show a new mail alert for those emails. It only shows a new mail alert for emails going to the main inbox. Obviously I need it to alert me if email is coming in to subfolders. Can anyone help with setting this up?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Mail not showing new account

Hi there!
I have added a new account (IMAP) and successfully configured it with an automatic installer provided by the hosting service.
I can see the new account only in the inbox folder, but not in the other folders (Sent, Trash, Junk, Drafts).
How can I have it comparing in the other folders?
Thank you for your reply.
Juan Carlos

I would expect the new address to show up in those boxes when you have made a draft, put something in the trash or sent something from the new address.
With one address those boxes do not show until something is in them.
Hope that is clear enough.

Leopard Mail Not Showing # Unread Messages in Dock Icon

For some inexplicable reason, my Leopard version of Mail has stopped showing unread message notifications. I still hear the mail ding, but there's no little red badge on the doc icon showing how many unread messages I have. And, yes, the "Dock unread count" is set to all mailboxes since I have multiple email accounts I check. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it?

Jeff Greenberg's response was brilliant! Thanks Jeff.
I have had 2 "unread mail" items showing up for weeks and have been agonizing over what and where they were, how important the "unread" mail was, and what life experiences, deals, etc., I was missing out on. Creating a Smart Mailbox showing Unread mail worked - one caveat however: Add a second condition - that the the Unread Mail be in your INBOX (forgetting to add this condition this showed me HUNDREDS of unread mail items that resided in my OTHER Smart Mailboxes).
It worked. I found, read, and deleted my "unread mail" - Nothing important. Thanks again!

Mac Mail not fetching New messages 10.9.4

This is on a MacBook Air (mid-2011) using OS 10.9.4   and for the past 6 days the Mail program has stopped fetching new mail.   The messages come thru on my phone but I have to restart the computer, check the connection doctor, restart a few more times & then finally the mail will start coming through again on the computer. The log is consistently showing these errors:
1 +[MFLibrary addMessages:withMailbox:fetchBodies:oldMessagesByNewMessage:error:] + 37 (Mail) [0x7fff8cad7fb9]
                                    1 +[MFLibrary addMessages:withMailbox:fetchBodies:isInitialImport:oldMessagesByNewMessage:err or:] + 82 (Mail) [0x7fff8cad7f8e]
                                      1 +[MFLibrary addMessages:withMailbox:fetchBodies:isInitialImport:oldMessagesByNewMessage:rem oteIDs:setFlags:clearFlags:messageFlagsForMessages:copyFiles:error:] + 116 (Mail) [0x7fff8cad7f2f]

Any clue on what the problem is or how to fix???
Thank you,

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

Mail stopped showing new messages

The Mail program stopped retrieving new emails. It shows my last email came last night, but when I sign into aol.com I have 8 new emails there. Tried closing/rebooting but no luck. Also it's not giving me a password prompt like it sometimes does, so I know it's not a password issue. Any ideas?

*tap tap*
Is this thing on?
