Mail received but will not appear

I'm running OS v10.5.8 and Mial v3.6. When opening mail I see incoming message totals next to the inbox but no messages show up in the preview pane. If it is an Apple mesage [via RSS] it shows up. i've tried Rebuilding, Reindexing, importing my POP mailbox, and have plenty of disk space. Any suggestions?

Didn't try that, with Apple Supports' help pulled the Mail folder out of my Library folder & apple.mail.com.plist out of Preferences folder and placed them on my desktop. In short, rebooted my Mail program. What ever was fired with my Inbox is now fixed & everything is working [after importing the old sent & deleted messages from the old Mail folder].
Thanks for your help.

OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

HELP! Mail receives but will not send

Mail will receive but it will not send.
When I try to send I get the following pull down window.
"The sender address (sender name)@cox.net was rejected by the server smtp.west.cox.net"
Anyone have an idea why this is happening?
Thanks

I have had this problem intermittently with my ISP (SBC).
Evidently at some point they upgraded security at their server so that the server rejects email addresses that it thinks are inauthentic to prevent Spammers from using these addresses -- all of my .mac email addresses were being rejected because SBC servers thought a SPAMMER was "impersonating" my computer to get through their server. I am sorry I can't explain this better.
It took quite a few phone calls to clear it up and I also had to move up the technical support food chain. Request a MAC technician and then keep requesting that person's supervisor.
All of my .mac email addresses had to be validated on their servers.

Mail receives but will NOT send out

I've never had a problem but now the mail app for apple no longer sends. I get it fine, forwarded and synched to mobile me and gmail accounts fine. When I try to send out of the account I get the message "cannot send message using the server smtp.east.*$&.net When I click on "connection Doctor" Connection status-"mail was able to connect to the internet. Any ideas? thank you

It could be that your ISP wants you to use a specific outgoing mail server. Check with your ISP. Sometimes they will only allow you to use their outgoing mail server when you're on their network and not your own. For example, if you use Optimum Online they may only let you use mail.optonline.com for outgoing so you couldn't use mail.yourdomain.com.
They do this to cut down on people sending spam from their networks.

HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

Firefox will display hotmail e-mail inbox, but will not open them

Firefox will be able to load Hotmail and display your inbox- but will not respond when clicking on any emails, options like new and reply, or junk mail and other folders. The mouse works fine with all other programs and Hotmail runs as normal on other browsers, making it a seemly Firefox only problem.

My mail will only receive but will not send

my mail will not send i get a message saying it can't send the message using server stmp......
i can receive mail though
HELP?

Ok, several servers seem to have grown more restrictive about the From-addresses they accept and about demanding passwords. There are no open servers anymore that you can use when your own doesn't work. I'm currently busy adding passwords to the servers I'm using after reading advice on these pages. I'm somewhat annoyed that no server ever told me that they wanted passwords, only sending back blunt rejection messages. But my domain server seems to work now at least, hope it lasts. It's only the last week that the server has stopped working completely, and the web hotel never sent me any message that they had started demanding a password for the outgoing server. (The incoming server of course always demanded a password.)
Another big source of annoyment is Gmail, whose outgoing server always works without asking passwords, but it automatically changes the From-address to my gmail-address. It caused me a lot of embarrassing trouble communicating with my clients recently before I discovered it through finding all their missing answers in the Gmail-folder...

When I plug in my sony hdd handycam to my mac it comes up on the desktop but will not appear in iMovies. Therefore I cannot import the video I want.

It is very frustrating. It will not come up as an option in the 'import video' window. I can only import video that is recorded from the 'in built' camera on my computer. Any one know how I can overcome this?? I would really appreciate any help.

it takes too long... and the computer (macbook air) gets very hot when I do that. it worked 2 weeks when i tried it but as it was new then, i wasn't paying attention at how or what I did to get it. So I know the camcorder is compatible etc. And I don't think I changed settings either. It is very strange. Thanks for the reply though.

Mail sends but will not receive gmail

I just upgraded to a new iMac and transferred all my data via Time Machine. My mail app will send emails but not recieve them. yesterday after reading on here that making a new account, I could fix this, I found that I I now cannot see any of my past received emails. That's very troubling.
Anyway, any ideas on why mail would send but not receive gmail?
Thanks!

What do you see for that account if you invoke Mail's menu option Window > Connection Doctor?
Pay particular attention to the settings under the "Advanced" tab for that account in the Mail preference "Accounts" panel.

My dad's computer receives mail fine, but will not send mail.

I have tried inputting different smtp servers, but even the smtp servers that I can use just fine on my own macbook fail when used on his. Also his internet connection is fine.

IMessages on Mavericks will send and receive but will not show my sent messages

So last week I was on ML and signed into iMessages app. I was able to log in and it showed my number and email and everyone's iMessage indicator worked fine. The issue was that I couldn't send any messages out. After typing my message to someone and pressing enter it would dissapear and they would never get the messages. So after hours of browsing I just figured maybe going to Mavericks would help solve the issue. Upgraded and logged into iMessages and to my dismay, it now will send the messages and receive messages and will sync with my iphone but I still can NOT see the messages I send out. After pressing enter they disappear. I've pretty much given up but hope someone in the community will help. I'm pretty bright with Mac and tried a PRAM reset, I've enabled and disabled, logged in and out, shutdown and restart, went into library and erased preferences, but nothing. My whole day is behind a computer and I love iMessages... When it works lol. Plz help. Thank you. I'll assume Ralph will take a gander since he is the pro on here from what I saw. Thanks everyone.

Hello??? BUMP** AGAIN!!!

Firefox opens according to my task manager, but will not appear on my desktop.

My windows XP computer refuses to show Firefox on my desktop. Task Manager shows firefox.exe active and using about 43 meg of memory. I have tried Firefox 4 and Firefox 3.6.
Using XP sp3 on this computer. Have scanned using Avast AV and Malwarebytes. I have 4 gig of memory on this computer.
I do not receive any error messages.

Could be a problem with your Firewall. Eliminate all references to Firefox and Plug-in container. The Firewall should ask for permission and re-set if Firefox starts. Try disabling Firewall and Anti-virus briefly.
Try starting in Safe Mode - Hold Shift key down as you double click on your Firefox desktop icon> don't check anything on the page that opens>Continue. Actually this is probably the best place to start.
If Fx works in Safe Mode you probably have a problem with one of your extensions or a conflict. Remember that all sorts of things have been up-dated as well as Firefox.
Along the way make sure your Plug-ins(like Flash) are up-to-date.
Be suspicious of third-party toolbars and try disabling them.
This won't be the specific problem but if you get Firefox going you should try disabling Hardware Acceleration to see if it runs better - Options>Advanced>General>browsing>uncheck "Use Hardware Acceleration . . . If it does run better you should update your graphics card.
This is the standard troubleshooting you may have to work through -
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
Another suggestion you may get, certainly when all else fails, is to download a new full Firefox installer to your desktop. Uninstall your old Firefox, don't delete your preferences etc; and then install your new Firefox.

Fred, It looks to me like you have to see the toolbar to correct what you are suggesting....I cannot see the tool bar.
Or did I miss something?
