Mail not transferring

I am going to pass this on as it drove me insane this weekend and finding the solution took a chunk of strength - not to mention a significant hit to the vodka bottle. Over the past few weeks I have been working on migrating my old MBP Core 2 Duo to a new i7 with an SSD. I used originally the OWC 6g (Sata3) SSD but after a lot of work determined it was hopeless on my new MBP, it stuttered and froze and generally behave like a runaway teenager. So I returned it and install a Sata3 OWC SSD which seems to work fine - and is still a phenomenal performance increase over the HDD of before.
The problem is Mail. I installed Lion and whereas before, on the failed SSD, Mail worked fine, on this new drive it refused to work at all, it would run a bit and die - over and over.
I removed ~/library/mail and brought it up clean, installed my IMAP accounts and the me.com stuff and off it went happy as a clam, only when it claimed that all was said and done, I found one MAJOR mailbox completely missing and another with only a few messages in it. After considerable messing around including manual archives of a 4000+ message mailbox and importing into the new Lion Mail - where only a dozen or so messages would appear - I found that there is some index of messages that was screwed up. ALL the messages would come over to the new machine fine, but the new Lion Mail would only import a few.
Turns out I needed to do a Mailbox>Repair. Then Archive, then move to new machine, then import - and all worked.
Grrrrrrrrrr.
Hope this helps.

Hello Peter,
I would be concerned as well if my messages were not being imported to the Mail application.  I found an article with steps to guide you in troubleshooting this issue:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
This article will guide you in using the connection doctor to help isolate where the issue is.  Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. 
Best,
Sheila M.

  • Sent Mail Not Transferred to New Phone - Why?

    The inbox came in but not the sent mail when upgrading to a new iphone
    And that's the most important thing - it's a record of what you did
    Where are the sent msgs? Do they exist only on the phone?  This is Verizon mail

  • Mail not coming in even though it's on the server

    A friend is having trouble receiving her emails. She's running 10.4.11 on an eMac.
    The last email she received was 5 days ago. She can send emails no problem. When we look at the server via Account Info we can see all her emails but they're not transferring to her inbox. Strange!?
    Action taken so far:
    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
    This has not worked. Any further info/help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Notes not transfering

    I recently purchased a imac, and already owned an iPad, and iPhone. I have icloud, but it is not transferring my "notes" to the imac from ipad. Can anyone help here??
    Thanks!

    Hi Linda.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

    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".

  • Free of Charge order: COGS (VPRS) is not transferred to CO-PA

    Dear SD gurus
    I have FOC order and I’d like to transfer its cost to CO-PA.
    Initially, only delivery process exist, but I noticed that without
    billing, data is not transferred to CO-PA.
    So, we added billing process with no accounting doc.
    But, condition type VPRS seems to be NOT transferred to CO-PA.
    Is there any solution?

  • Error Message: Data from Business Add-In ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST not transferred

    Hi All,
    I have done a BADI implementation for ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST and when I try to convert a PR to PO using ME59N in ECC u2013 AFS System I am getting below error message.
    Data from Business Add-In ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST not transferred.
    I am trying to populate certain PO fields ( ekko and ekpo ) from PR fields. But the above error occurs when I update the Ex Factory Date manual that is EKPO-J_3AEXFCM.
    I am updating this in the method PROCESS_ITEM and what I found while debugging is in the class CL_PO_HEADER_HANDLE_MM, in the implementation of IF_FLUSH_TRANSPORT_MM~START, the contents of field u2018my_iteration_countu2019 keeps increasing and becomes 10 and raises this error.
    I read few of the related questions raised by others in this forum and understood that this can happen if I try to change the field that is disabled ( greyed) in ME22N. But this field that I am talking about is enabled.
    I also tried to move my code of populating the field EKPO-J_3AEXFCM from the PROCESS_ITEM to the enhancement point just above the user exit EXIT_SAPMMO6E_018 but still it doesnu2019t resolve the error.
    (We donu2019t want to use User Exit and hence we are trying with BADIs or enhancement point.)
    Can anyone please help me with this. I also found an OSS note 1334046 but not sure if that can resolve my issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ameesha.

  • Junk mail not automatically moved to Junk folder

    Hello.
    I'm using an IMAP account and have configured Mail to move junk mail to the chosen junk mail folder (junk is not filtered on the server but on my client). Since the junk mail filter is still learning sometimes junk mail is not detected and still goes to the inbox. That's okay.
    If I then select that message it is somehow miraculously detected and marked as junk. However, it is not automatically moved to the junk folder but remains in the inbox marked as junk?
    Is this desired behaviour? Why is the mail not automatically moved to the junk folder, like it is when I manually mark a mail as junk?
    Thanks in advance

    I just happened to notice that even mail that is automatically marked as spam/junk remains in my inbox. So I open the inbox folder and there is message that is marked as junk. Only when I manually reset and set the junk status is the message moved to the junk folder.
    This seems to be the case in an IMAP acount where all folders (sent, drafts, spam, etc.) are subfolders of the actual inbox folder.
    Is anyone else experiencing this behaviour?
    Thanks in advance

  • Why can't i add playlists to my iPhone from my mac while they are connected? I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." This is incredibly frustrating.

    I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." when I try to drag and drop a playlist, song, or album to my iPhone. This was NEVER a problem before iTunes match or the last iOS update. So what is the deal? Why can't i just add music to my phone from the mac? There is space on the phone. The only way I have found to get the music i want to the phone is to have it download from the phone. This is not something i want to have to do: go through and manually add every album and recreate a playlist on the phone when its there on the mac. And, even more irritating, since the new update, when the phone is plugged into the mac i can't actually view from the mac what music is on the phone. This is incredibly frustrating and any help would be much appreciated in managing my music libraries for each device.

    Hi,
    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

  • Mail not working.. no error message

    Good day everyone!
    I have a problem since two days now. I have mail not updating email received and not sending email either. Tried the "Connection Doctor", and it says connections are ok. I have no problems to open and type a new message, but looks like the message is never sent, there is no copy in the sent folder. I have tried to send messages from my account to me, doesn't work. Then, from outside (a yahoo account) without any result.
    However, I never got a message saying that the message can not be send or what ever...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • Apple Mail: Not Responding

    When I open my Mail program over the last few days it does nothing - does not even show the Mail Message Window. I have to Force Quit (message says Mail Not Responding). This happens over and over again. I used Disk Utility to check preferences and repaired all (not much there and nothing relating to Mail). Still won't work. In general Apple Mail has not been working well for awhile that along with MobileMe... delivering multiple emails of the same message and loosing Sent messages. What is happening to this program? Do I have to use Microsoft Office to find a dependable eMail Client software? As it stands I have started using Office on our other computers just so we can receive our email and not worry about loosing or storing Sent and Received Mail.
    I am running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 on my workstation. I have Snow Leopard ready to install but was waiting to complete time critical work before installing new system software - perhaps that will be the answer to the problem(?). Anyone having this problem and if so - have you found a solution?
    Note: I do receive mail on my iPhone and on iPad thankfully using Apple's Mail program but those are mobile devices - we require dependable email to run our business on our desktops.

    Mail in Leopard should not have such problems. Disk Utility repairs permissions, not preferences. I'm assuming your only e-mail account is with Mobileme?
