Mail send / receive is painfully slow - whereas my iPad is instant

Hi
Does anyone know what can cause mail to run so slow.
I have a .Mac (.Me) account and it seems to take an age for mail to send or receive new emails.
When I use my iPad on the same Internet connection it is instant.
If anyone has an idea on how I can fix this or tools for trouble shooting I'd be grateful.
Cheers
Scott

'''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there.

Mail send/receive is sporatic

Recently mail has been sporatic on all my IOS devices as well as my iMac and web interface. I have tried from multiple locations but the issue seems to be my account. It will stop send/receiving for a few hours then fix itself. It will work fine for days if not weeks and then stop again for a few hours. This pattern started not long after I migrated from .mac to .me.
Any ideas?

This has been a widespread problem with both earlier OS's and Leopard, starting a few weeks back. I am experiencing it also, but not when I dual boot into Vista on the same machine and run mail using Outlook. So this almost assuredly is Mac OS related. When I can't SEND via either Apple Mail OR Entourage and it gives me an error, "Mail Can't verify the identity of "smtp.gmail.com" and it says the certificate is invalid. Now, I have everything setup right. I have worked in the computer field since the days of the first Apple II. I know how to setup email to work. And It worked a few weeks ago, as it did for most everyone worldwide posting to this issue. My VISTA dual boot partition works FINE with Gmail. All my Vista and XP machines in my small universe still work fine. The Mac OS now does not. AND I can use the Mac to log into Gmail with my browser and can send and recieve mail just fine.
I believe it was a bug with the last OS upgrade from Apple, given the fact that the same hardware running a different OS gives a different and correct result. We need a way to rollback these OS installs without reformatting and reloading the os. Windows allows that. Why doesn't the Mac? Am I missing something?
Anyway, the APple community needs a fix for this send mail problem. Obviously, not Everyone has this problem, but there are a lot of posts on this lately. Way too many to be random.
Apple? You listening? What is the story here?

Outlook 2013 send & receive is very slow or freezes

Hello. I recently purchased Office 2013 to install on my new laptop at the beginning of February. Everything was working fine up until a couple weeks ago. I am having issues in Outlook 2013, specifically I am not getting emails or when I send
emails they show as being sent but the customer never receives them. I have 2 email accounts setup and both are scheduled to automatically send and receive every 1 minute but even if I hit send & receive manually nothing works. Eventually the send/receive
window will open and freeze, showing "processing" or that there are 60 minutes left in trying to receive a message! I have never had an issue like this before and I need it to be fixed so I can continue to communicate with my customers! Please help!

Does it throw any error code? Make sure the internet/network doesn't have any issues? Check whether the same mailboxes can be accessed in their webmail interfaces (say, OWA) and see you don't face any send/receive issues with that?
Do check whether you can repro the issue by opening Outlook in safe mode or not (Outlook.exe /safe)? If issue is not reproduced, then I would suspect one of the Outlook add-in may be causing this above issue.
You can check the send/receive groups. For more info, you can refer:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/why-use-send-receive-groups-HA102749372.aspx
Let me know how it goes.

I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Macbook pro Mail "Send & Receive"

when i send an email using Macbook pro Mail OS X Mavericks a second copy is created (a duplicate) and both emails are filed in the sent folder.
The second copy is identical to the first one except sometimes is a bit bigger in size. (like for example 10KB and 11KB).
But the recipient only receives one copy. Thank you for the support.

What were the results of taking the steps under the heading "Mail Connection Doctor shows all green dots in the Status column" in the support article?

TS3899 IPhone 4S mail send/receive problem

This has happened three times. After getting the mail up and running it will work for a time and then fail again. We have deleted the account and set it back up. we have deleted and resetup the network settings. We have downloaded and installed all available updates. Each time this has occurred we have been able to the mail back but then it fails again. The mail account is a POP account What causes this? and how can I stop it?
Below this question box asks about the OS. I know I downloaded an update to the OS but I'm not sure what the version was. I know it is in the 6 range. The phone is a customers and I don't have it with me tonight.

No, Ive had no luck finding a sloution to this problem. Very frustrating

Email Send/Receive causes slow access to website host server. Any Suggestions?

Hello Community.
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
I have a bit of a weird problem and though it sounds silly, I'm 99% certain of the cause. My business migrated our five different sites to a new web host (shared hosting) about 5 months ago. Since then we've been plagued by a localised speed issue with connecting to that host. The host is a reasonably good one, but for some reason when connecting on our local network ONLY we were having intermittent load problems; anywhere for instant load to 40-50 seconds. After much testing we have arrived at an improbable conclusion; That accessing webmail (e.g. clicking Send/Receive) on any Mac within our network causes a massive and immediate slow-down of website access and smtp connection to any of our five sites held on the shared hosting server.
Again, I know how strange that sounds, but we've essentially proved it based on ping tests and side by side comparisons of isolated computers. The ONLY computers that are affected are the Macs on the network and also mobile browsers on multiple platforms. Windows based PCs are not affected by the slow down.
Also, the problem seems to be access based. By that I mean, one a site is accessed it loads almost instantly, but it can take up to 40 seconds of white screen before the site is reached. Interestingly, during this time, the sites' ping speeds are perfectly normal UNTIL the moment when the page is finally accessed and it loads instantly. Once the load triggers the ping speeds increase dramatically to the point where they occasionally time out. Once the site is loaded the ping speeds return to normal (approx 22 ms).
... help!
Important: Things we've ruled out:
ISP is not a factor (used a 3G modem to rule this out)
Router is not a factor (see above)
Switch is not a factor (Tested different switch)
Individual terminals are not a factor (when removed from the network or isolated on the network the individual terminals perform perfectly. Furthermore when an external mac (iMac laptop) was introduced to the network it performed just as poorly)
Browser/Operating System/CMS platform not a factor (multiple CMSs have been tested, testing on multiple computers with different versions of OS have been tested, and all sites have different CMSs; Joomla, Concrete 5, Bespoke, and Wordpress of different versions)
Cpanel setup not a factor (Each site has its own Cpanel account, the are not set up as add-on domains. Furthermore, a similar slow down has been observed on other sites held on that server)
Mixed platform network not a factor (We removed non-mac based computers from the network and turned off wi-fi to isolate and found no change)
DNS does not appear to be a factor (We tested multiple DNS including Googles 8,8,8,8 / 8,8,4,4 and found no change)
Cabling does not appear to be a factor (though the cabling isn't perfect, it's at least Cat5/Cat6, plus it wouldn't affect only our sites)
Email Client does not appear to be a factor (accessing email via Outlook or Mail App causes the slowdown)
Important: Things that we suspect
Computer Year of Manufacture: (though all computers are affected, the problem is most severe on pre-2013 constructed models (regardless of OS)
POP3/SMTP request immediately triggers the slow down (observed visually as well as in ping tests. No mail needs to be sent/received during this process to trigger the slow down, simply the request causes the spike. We haven't yet been able to test IMAP)
The Networked Macs (not the individual macs): (the individual computers when isolated on the existing hardware perform fine. Only when they are networked does the slow down occur)
DNS (Even though we've found no link to DNS, if feeeeels like a DNS issue.)
CHANGE of host. (We changed hosts due to extremely poor service and tech support. The new guys are fantastic. Though I don't think it's the new host's fault, it's possible that the change of hosts has caused our network to search for our websites in the wrong place)
Apple Knows Best: Is there something that Macs do with Mail to update a routing table? Like, could a mail application trigger an update to a local routing table?
Has anybody heard of anything like this before? Or can anybody suggest any possible things to test or change? Even though email requests seem improbable, I can confirm that it has been proved visually and through tests. As you can probably tell, our testing has been extensive so if you notice anything in our test conclusions that I could add to please... I'm seriously open to suggestions now.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards,

Hi Linc
Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah I'd already tried that. It's been deactivated on most of our computers already. Plus like I said, it's different browsers on multiple macs and also some mobile browsers on both iPhone and Samsung on our wireless network. I can confirm that on mac the problem is consistent across Chrome, Firefox as well as Safari.
Thanks anyway! Any other takers?

Windows Mail can receive but not send until exiting application

Hi, and thanks for taking time to read this as I’m in need of your help.
I have a Toshiba P200, Vista Home Premium, Tiscali as my ISP, Norton Internet Security for AV and firewall, and am accessing my broadband via Ethernet to a Belkin ADSL router (and occasionally a Siemens router) and I’m experiencing some strange happenings with Windows Mail.
In short I can receive mail with no problems, but when I send the mail it stays in the outbox despite the Send Immediate option being checked or pressing the Send/Receive button. When I exit Windows Mail the mail is sent straight away, and is in the Sent Mail folder when I restart Windows Mail.
So why do I think there’s a problem with the laptop. Well, I’m fortunate enough to have a friend who has an non-Toshiba laptop, where all of the above can be replicated. Guess what, Windows Mail sends the mail exactly as it should (on my Tiscali account and on my network, through my router and ISP etc.), so I conclude that the only difference is that my laptop is a P200.
I have called Tiscali who confirmed that all my Mail settings were OK, POP, SMTP etc, which I’d expect (as they work on my friend’s laptop), and they advised I contact Microsoft, which I did, and since the P200 has Vista pre-installed they say I have to contact Toshiba, and here I am.
My P200 has been restored to factory settings, and I have tried to get this working without Norton IS, and no firewalls (Vista and router), but no luck.
Any ideas would be much appreciated and if I find out by other means, I’ll post back with outcome. If the answer is already out there, I apologise for being too dumb to locate it and beg your patience.
Many thanks.

Hi
It is typical for support people. Every of them try to send the customers away and the reason should be by them. In my opinion Microsofts reaction is strange for me. They have designed operating system and they should be responsible for the functionality.
I have Satellite A200 and Satellite P200D and I use Windows Mail on both of them successfully. My notebook is connected to WLAN router and router directly to the phone line. To be honest I have configured Windows Mail like you and all job were done in few minutes.
It is not easy to say where the problem can be but I believe there is some problem with some settings on your notebook. Some of them block it somehow. To compare your, with friends notebook is also not the best because he can have completely different OS settings (antivir application, firewall settings).
Try to disable all features who can block Windows hotmail to see if there is some difference.

Outlook 2011 for Mac users must click send/receive to get new mail from exchange 2013 server

I recently switched our primary CAS servers over from a single exchange 2010 cas/mailbox/hub server to a couple new exchange 2013 CAS/Mailbox servers. Exchange 2013 has cu3, and is hosted on windows server 2012. Anyone who has their mailbox hosted
on one of these exchange 2013 servers has an issue where they must click the send/receive button to get new messages downloaded to their client. This is only the case for outlook 2011 for mac client. Activesync clients, mac mail, OWA, and Outlook 2010/13
all behave normally.
Where can I look or what can I check to troubleshoot this issue?

Hi,
Any good news from the Mac Forum?

TS3276 Help in setting Apple Mail to receive and send mail via Yahoo mail service

I would appreciate help in setting up Apple Mail to receive and send e-mails via Yahoo. Thank you

Sorry,
Have you tried the connection doctor? In Mail menu bar under Window connection doctor, this will usually let you know where the problem might be.

That's one of the reasons that it is always a good idea to take advantage of the thirty day free trials Adobe offer. It lets you evaluate both the product and how it will perform on your own equipment.
If you've already purchased it then you may, depending on where you bought it, be able to get a refund with their thirty day 'no reason required' returns policy.

I Phone 4: I can't send the mail, just receive from libero account (wind connection)

help! On my Iphone 4 I just setted the libero account by wind. Now I can receive but it's impossible to send.
thanks

Setting up a gmail account does not require specific SMTP settings. If you are going to 'mail contact and calendars' go to where it reads 'add account' you should then be able to add a gmail account seamlessly. IF however you are using a gmail app as the vehicle to being used when accessing your gmail email account this may be the issue.
Before adding an secondary email account please ensure you don't have the same account (gmail account) already on your device prior to adding the secondary account.
Please do this: verify you don't have alternate gmail accounts on your device. ( settings to mail, contacts, calendars) check to see that you don't have a gmail account already listed. IF you have a gmail account already you will then delete this account PRIOR to attempting to add another gmail account.
Once you have deleted the first gmail account this opens the door for you to then add a new gmail account.
Once the account is added as the ONLY gmail account attempt to then send yourself an email to this email address.
To do this you will want to go to the inbox of the account go to compose put into the address area YOUR email address go to the subject area and type in the words TEST and in the area where you type the information of the email type in the words TEST.
from there click on send to see if the account is working
good luck .

Mac Mail sends but does not receive

Hi
Big problem!
Just upgraded to Lion - and this problem was on Snow Leopard too - I tried to upgrade to sort this out!
Mail sends emails but does not recieve.
I own the server where it is trying to connect to - the emails are there - I can see them through webmail.
I have set up different email accounts on Mail and exactly the same for all domains and email accounts.
I have re-installed Mail - exactly the same happens.
I have used Thunderbird and it works!
So it has to be a Mail problem. Server is fine, OS is fine, other email is fine. Mail is the problem.
I think it has to do with keychain? Not sure though... I have tried literally hundreds of things but nothing works and I am at my wits end and run out of ideas!
Any suggestions would be warmly received!!
Thanks in advance
Rob

Hi,
I have the same problem with my incoming mail. I talked to the folks at Frontier (my ISP). They verified that a
test message I had sent was received. All account info appeared to be ok. I click on "get mail" and I do not
receive any new incoming messages. All connections succeed Using Connection Doctor, although the connection to smtp.frontiernet.net spins quite awhile before succeeding.
While I was composing this reply, I decided to try to send a test message to my wife's account. It came
through ok. I think I might have to contact Frontier again on this. When I set her account up they gave me a
different Incoming Mail Server name to use: pop3.frontier.com, whereas mine is: pop3.frontiernet.net. I believe
new accounts are being assigned to: pop3.frontier.com.
Also, when I'm showing all inboxes, Mine all have a symbol after them that looks like a lazy z. I am not familiar
with this symbol, but since I'm having trouble, I suspect it is telling me something. Help on this??
