Mail Sending but NOT RECEIVING! Mail 3.6 Macbook 2009 OSX Leopard

Hey All!
I have been having huge issues with my Mail Server for the past week and a bit now which is hard because I work from home. My Rogers Yahoo email account can no longer send emails from my Mail app on my computer. I know it is not rogers themselves because my phone email works fine. I have tried many of the suggestions so far on the forums but nothing seems to be working and I am tempted to just give up and create a entirely different email with a different provider. It seems to not be able to connect to my SMTP server. I have double and tripled check that I have all the right ports, User names and passwords and still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. Yes I know I am greatly out-dated now but I have no money or upgrading. Unfortunate I know.

Hi, just to confirm...
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the exact message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
Is your Phone connecting through your home network, or a cell tower?

  • Can send but not receive mail

    I have a macbook with OS 10.5.8 and Mail 3.6
    I have an imac with OS 10.4.11 and Mail 2.1.3
    Both have been working fine with my mac.com / me.com account for a long time but Mail and the MacBook has suddenly stopped receiving messages - although it can still receive them. I've compared the settings on the two computers and they still look identical.
    Any suggestions as to what to try next?
    Thanks

    Let's check whether the rules could have a bearing on this:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    3a. If running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), locate MessageSorting.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageSorting.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too.
    3b. If running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see the old MessageSorting.plist files there; they are no longer used by Mail 2.x, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
    4. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
    5. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
    6. Go online again if you went offline in step 4.
    If the problem persists after doing this, then you know the rules have no bearing on it, and you may move the files on the Desktop back to the ~/Library/Mail/ folder, overwriting any files Mail may have created anew there (quit Mail first).
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

  • Can send but not receive mail in outlook 2013

    I just started to have the same issue. I have multiple PC's all running outlook 2013 and one of them just stopped receiving mail.
    The others work fine, and yeah I check that it is set to receive mail in the options, along with many other typical tasks  like dissabling the av.
    This is on WIN 7 pro.
    I have uninstalled office. Deleted my ost and pst. Reinstalled office and re-created my mail account.  Same issue. There must be some other setting in my profile or registry that is persisting
    I am about to go back to Office 2010, I have already gone back to Win 7 after a terrible experience with 8.1 and its media centre licence issue and lack of driver support (which worked under WIN 8!!).
    Seriously Microsoft! Do you just hate people?

    Hi,
    What is the account type? Exchange, IMAP or POP3? Is it working fine to receive emails on Webmail(OWA)? It is preferred if you could provide any error code/message.
    The first thing that should be checked up is if the account has been setup properly, you may need to contact your ISP(Internet Service Provider) to get the information you need to setup the account.
    If you press Send/Receive All Folders button, can you get new messages? Please go to
    SEND/RECEIVE tab -> Send/Receive Groups ->
    Define Send/Receive Groups -> For All Accounts, under
    Setting for group "All Accounts", set Schedule an automatic send/receive every "X" minutes, we can set
    X as you need.
    Please create a new profile to test if the issue persists:

  • Why can I send, but not receive mail?

    I have an exclamation mark in a triangle next to Inbox. It says the connection to the server is timed out. I have not been able to receive any mail.

    I would compare the account settings to verify that smpt server and ports and encryption and the likes was
    set the same on mac vs. the ios devices
    if it were I would look if the mac's firewall was blocking the stmp

  • Upgraded to Tiger; Mail can Send, but not receive... help!

    Hi there,
    I've come across lots of issues people have had importing all their mailboxes when they've upgraded from Panther to Tiger, but my wife's problem is different - - Mail can Send, but not receive. 'Get Mail' hasn't worked since the upgrade. I've been on the phone with my POP server provider, and all my Mail Account settings are correct. I can send mail, as I say, and sure enough, there it is in her Hotmail web page, along with all the other messages people have sent her in the last two weeks...
    So why can't Mail 'get' these messages, if all the settings are correct?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Malcolm

    You’re welcome.
    If you deleted a POP account, then all the messages stored in that account’s mailboxes has certainly been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
    Remove Account
    Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
    This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
    To prevent that from happening, you should have moved those messages to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving them in the account’s mailboxes. Actually, using Inbox and Sent for archiving purposes is a bad idea regardless.
    If the messages are not on the server and you don’t have a backup (which you should have made before doing something like that), you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

  • Can send but not recevie mail - help please

    I have tried to push mail though, switched phone off and logged off on my desktop. But I can send but not receive.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Anne,
    Is this IMAP or POP account?
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    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.

  • Can send but not get mail....

    This is strange - my mailserver has imap/ssl/password. Before 3.0 upgrade all worked fine (hm... except a couple of days when I just got my Iphone where actualle the very same problem showed up, but suddenly started to work).
    So, I can connect to server and send mail. But I can't connect to server to read/fetch mail (connection failed message).
    I've exact same configuration on my macbook - working like a charm. Tested to remove account on Iphone and recreate, resync, you name it. Still not possible to read, only send.
    Why???

    Anyone with any ideas are welcome....
    Now I dropped all mail accounts on the phone and resynched with iTunes to recreate all mail accounts. Still - one of the accounts will not work. Possible to send but not read mail. And it is working on the mac.
    regards,
    /L

  • Can send but not receive email

    I have contacted my ISP and confirmed my password and settings. I can log on and send but not receive. The emails are on the server. This problem started after I installed the latest apple security update. The isp tech felt everything was ok there and that the problem was due to the security update blocking incoming mail.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Thanks, Dave!
    I had the same problem. Could send but not receive, on three email accounts all of which were on the same server. The other four accounts on two different serves worked fine. This was a sudden change and I had not changed any mail prefs for several weeks or anything on the server end in months. I spent 3.5 hours on this this evening, excahnging emails with customer suppert at the server (using the other accounts of course), going through the complicated webstie to check the server configuration, checking the prefs in mail over and over and over, setting up the email on another computer to discover it worked, throwing everything realted to these three accounts out of keychain thinking maybe it had saved an old password.
    Came in here to post a plea for help and read your message. The offline bits were set. And the list of accounts under the IN heading had been collapsed (I generally have it open, don't know how it was collapsed) so that I couldn't see the obvious offline indicator. !!!
    Thanks again! Where were you 3.5 hours ago?
