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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • Can anything be done to ensure/improve iCloud mail reliability in sending/receiving?

    The tl;dr version of my question: is there anything I can do from an end-user perspective to improve the odds that my iCloud mail messages will be properly delivered to others, or incoming mail properly received by me? I like iCloud, but this is something I never worried about with Gmail, though I would prefer to stay with a single service for personal information management (i.e., iCloud) as opposed to going to Gmail or Outlook.com for mail/contacts/calendars.
    The slightly longer version:
    I was formerly a Gmail user for many years. All of my hardware is Apple made, so iCloud makes sense, including for mail. I have multiple third-party email accounts forwarding to my @icloud.com address.
    I have had intermittent reports of missing or delivered-to-spam messages which I sent from my @icloud.com address over the past couple months. Messages were sent from either the Mail.app on my MBP running Mavericks or from the native Mail app on iPhone. Software on both devices is always kept up to date. Messages appeared in my iCloud Mail sent folder without issue. No delivery delay/failure notifications were received by me for the messages which were reportedly not delivered.
    The recipients in question had nothing to gain from lying and playing the "I never got the email" card. The destination addresses to which I was sending these messages were both institutional Exchange accounts (three delivered to spam, one not delivered at all) or Gmail accounts (one, with the recipient subsequently receiving my original message without issue when I forwarded it from my own separate Exchange account).
    Thanks in advance.

    For the first part, that does beg the question whether this is something that is more of a problem with iCloud than it is other providers, for whatever reason.
    I'm not a huge fan of anecdotal "evidence" in general, but iCloud mail does seem to have the worst reputation for missing messages when compared to Gmail or even Outlook.com, at least going by a quick search. For other iCloud mail users, does this ever concern you? Any former iCloud users who left for similar reasons?

  • My ISP tells me I need to I need to change the port to send/receive e-mails, but I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I proceed without the password?

    My ISP tells me I need to change the port to send/receive mail, as the current port is going to be disabled for security reasons. But I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I add an account when I don't remember my password? It's been several years.

    your email password is with your ISP so they can help. but if it is saved in the email app you can just change the ports in the preferneces without a password.

  • Windows Mail can receive but not send until exiting application

    Hi, and thanks for taking time to read this as I&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s a problem with the laptop. Well, I&rsquo;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&rsquo;d expect (as they work on my friend&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.

  • How do I set up my 3G to send/receive mail from MS exchange?

    How do I set up my 3G to send/receive mail from MS exchange?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you can't get your mail to work on Snow Leopard after June 30, you might want to try one of these approaches
    1. Configuring Mail in Snow Leopard
    2. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

  • Outlook 2010 cannot send/receive mail AND states mailbox is being optimized due to upgrade AND outlook hotmail connector needs updating.

    As of 2014-March, the same thing happening on my system. This seems to have occurred, after the latest batch of 28 patches (including SP2 - KB2687455) from Microsoft Updates applied on 13-Mar-2014 and 19-Mar-2014.  I have been running Outlook 2010
    since it was first available.
    An unhelpful error is thrown, after trying to manually perform a Send/Receive:
    Not Implemented
    While in Outlook 2010, clicking FILE > INFO reveals the following warnings in red:
    "Upgrade in Progress. Your mailbox is currently being optimized as part of upgrade to Outlook 2010. This one time process may take over 15 minutes and performance may be affected while the optimization is in progress."
    There's an "Upgrade Now" button but it fails to produce any visible result. Next to the button, another warning in red:
    "You must upgrade to the latest version of Outlook Hotmail Connector to continue using this e-mail account."
    Again, I do not have the Outlook Hotmail Connector installed. Nor have I recently upgraded to Outlook 2010.
    I am unable to access ANY account settings, as well as poll my various mailboxes.
    While reviewing the list of installed updates (Control Panel > Programs and Features > View Installed Updates), there are 28 approximate patches -
    specifically, Service Pack 2 (KB2687455) - that were recently applied to Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010.
    Microsoft, what the #$%# is going on?
    I've read some related posts that suggest the core issue is other than what Outlook is reporting.  The posts recommend the following.  However, in my case, the below steps did not correct the
    issue.  In fact, the new profile would not allow me to view/manage the associated accounts or data files.
    (1) Remove your current Outlook Profile. No worries - this doesn't affect your mail data (.PST files):
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/outlook-help/remove-a-profile-HP010356455.aspx
    (2) Create a new Outlook Profile:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/outlook-help/introduction-to-profiles-HA010355553.aspx
    Note: Outlook complained "An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x80040154."  However, exiting the Mail config window and relaunching shows that the new profile is intact.
    (3) If you previously had the Outlook Hotmail Connector installed, reinstall it.  If not, then just ignore and the warning should go away after creating a new Profile.
    32-bit connector: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24677

    I was able to resolve this issue as follows.  However, why it occurred is unknown at this time and
    unrelated to a corrupted Outlook Profile, as mentioned on my prior post.  It seems highly probable that it was caused by the recent batch of Microsoft Updates for this product which included Service Pack (SP) 2.
    1) Performed a "repair" of Outlook 2010, via the Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    2) Rebooted.
    3) Prior to launching Outlook, returned to Control Panel > Mail and configured the location of my PST file (not in default directory).
    4) Had to reestablish as off my mail accounts, settings/preferences/etc. This step was the most tedious and frustrating.

  • 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?

  • Mail Sender to Abap Proxy Receiver with Attachements

    Hi All,
    Scenario: I need to create a ticket in Solman from a mail. I intend to do the scenario as Mail sender to Abap Proxy receiver asynchronous.
    I have configured my sender mail adapter and am able to get the mails in XI. The attachements also appear in Inbound payload as MailAttachement-1, MailAttachement-2 etc. I have checked use mail packege and keep attachements in sender adapter.
    Transport Protocol: IMAP4
    Message Protocol: XIPAYLOAD
    Queries:
    1. My Inbound Data Type is the mail Package -- ximail30_xsd. Here in sxmb_moni I can see the mail attributes like from, to and the mail body in content. But How can I read the attachements in my message mapping.
    2. How can I pass these attachements to Abap Proxy ( I do not need to alter attachments only pass to proxy ). These attachements have to be attached to the Solman ticket in SOLMAN server.
    Appreciate your kind response to my above queries.
    Thanks.

    Well, this is a recurring issue for many users...a small percentage of users but still a bug.  Report the issue here to Apple:  www.apple.com/feedback
    iOS7.0.3 will be released next week, which as of now, I know is primarily for an iMessage but hopefully it will clear up some of these email issues some are also having.
