Mail program not recieiving messages, but I can send. I use .Mac to get mai

My Mail program is not receiving messages all of a sudden. But I can send.
I have to get my mail at .Mac. Just tried fixing permissions. No luck yet. I just sent myself an email and it came into .Mac but not to my Mail program.
What have I done?
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

You're welcome.
More than likely .Mac but to confirm, at the menu bar for the Mail application go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts.
Under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences, what is shown next to Account Type?
If .Mac, a .Mac type account with the Mail application is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way so try using the Rebuild Mailbox function on the Inbox mailbox for your .Mac account.
If there is a black triangle to the left of Inbox in the mailboxes drawer, select it pointing it down to reveal your .Mac account named Inbox mailbox. Select the mailbox and at the menu bar go to Mailbox and select Rebuild.
All messages in the message list for the account's Inbox mailbox will disappear temporarily and the mailbox will be resynchronized with the server.

    Hi Tnolen15,
    If you are having issues sending or receiving messages from a specific contact (in this case, your wife), you may find this portion of the following article helpful (ignore the numbering):
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.

  • When I take my IPAD to another country and try send an e-mail to friends around the world or the country I am I her message - server can not relay message but I can receive without any problem. What is the fix? All settings are correct I have no problems

    When I move from country to country. I can not send / reply to e-mails. All account settings are the same as when I was at home where there is no problem. Receiving is also not a problem when out side my resident country, what is the answer?

    The easiest fix would be to just use safari and a webmail interface.
    For example, I have yahoo in my mail app. But on some internet connections it just won't work, so I use safari to get to yahoo.com and access my mail that way.
    Your mail provider should have a web interface and you could use that.

  • I have charter email. I was able to send attachments, but now can send no attachements - I keep getting an error message that the file cannot be read - help!

    I stared using charter for email January of this year. At that time I was able to attach word documents, but not jpg files. In the last 2 months now I can't attach word documents, either. I tried to send word docs from a yahoo mail account I created to see if the problem was with charter -it's not. I have the exact same problem with yahoo mail. Is there anything going on with Mozilla that's preventing mail servers access/reading capabilites of my files?

    Can you access the images on the phone with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) ?

  • Why can't i receive picture messages but I can send them out?

    I have a droid 4 and a few months of having the phone i wasn't able to receive ANY picture messages, i'm still not its very irritating. I'm on my second replacement and nothing works. I call costumer service and even went into the verizon store, they tell me the same thing...turn it off turn it on blah blah blah. nothing works! this never happened to me with any of my other phones. please help!
    oh and fyi i do use handcent text app and that has nothing to do with receiving pictures trust me i've tried it.

    Hi,
    Check the File Transfer window (See Window Menu).
    Does this say they Arrived ?
    If it shows an spyglass icon does this open them or at least show where they are on your computer ?
    It should place them in ~/Library/Messages/Attachments in strangely titled folder and sub folders.
    However it Write to this folder via ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages and then an Alias to the attachments folder.
    You should check you have permissions to Write to the Actual Attachments folder and all the possible routes to that folder.

  • When I send email from gmail, the receiver gets lots of "boxes" at the end of the message. I can send gmail using my Chrome browser without their getting the boxes.

    This just began happening yesterday. It only happens (as far as I can tell) with some recipients. I have tried quite a few things and nothing seems to work. Help please!

    Talk to your carrier.  Sounds like something is not provisioned right on your account.

  • Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts but the messages are in the server.

    Hello, I'm having this problem. Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts. I don't know why but there're two accounts working so bad. If I click with the right button on the account and click to see the account details, I can see the messages on the server but not in inbox. I made a sync with this account and my iphone and then the iphone downlad the messages with out problems. Not my imac at work or my imac at home... what can be wrong?
    Thanks.

    For Gmail, this is normal, there is nothing you can do about it -- just type Mail AND Gmail in the search box to see threads discussing how Gmail works.
    As for the other accounts, this shouldn't happen. I wonder if what you're seeing is just that Mail is ignoring this setting for mail that was already on the server when you started using it. I've seen something like this happen when playing with that setting, e.g. changing it from "After one day" to "After one week". Mail would just ignore messages that fell in the timeframe where the two settings could interfere and I didn't notice it until some time later, when Mail "forgot" those messages had already been downloaded and, being faced with them again, dutifully downloaded them as if they were all new.
    I believe that, if you leave the setting however you wish and stop playing with it, then Mail shall correctly process any mail that arrives from now on. In order to manually delete old messages that Mail seems to be ignoring, you can invoke the Account Info window (this is probably what you meant when you said "I can delete messages individually"; if that's not the case and want more info on this, just ask).

  • How can i transfer the entire itunes program (not the library,but the actual program itself) from one cpu to another? I have the older version that has the slide feature. I can't stand the new itunes.

    HOW CAN I TRANSFER THE ITUNES PROGRAM ( NOT THE LIBRARIES,BUT THE ACTUALLY EXE PROGRAM ) FROM ONE CPU TO ANOTHER. I CAN'T
    STAND THE NEW ITUNES. I WANT TO TRANSFER MY OLD ONE THAT STILL HAS THE SLIDER FEATURE. THANKS

    Sounds like you've already installed iTunes 11 and are now trying to downgrade. To do so successfully you will also need access to a pre-upgrade copy of your library as set out below...
    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 you can enable artwork in the Songs & List views from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view.
    If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
