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.

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??

Mail sends but does not receive

Since 10.6.2 I've twice had incidents of my SBC account going gray and not receiving mail. Problem exists on iMac, MacBook, and iPhone so it is not a machine problem unless all three have had settings corrupted via mobileMe. Mail present on ISP server. Send works. First incident cleared spontaneously but current incident persists. Preferences settings appear to be correct on all three devices. Authentication is by password. Port is 995. Ideas?

These sporadic losses of connections to the server are not new with Snow Leopard. I've had them more frequently in the past and the only way I've been able to deal with them is to tell Mail to check/reconnect again.

My IPod nano 6 connects to my library but will not receive new music and playlists

My ipod 6th generation will not receive new songs and playlists from my library on my PC. My ipod shows up in the itunes library when I connect it. It syncs when it is plugged in to computer but the sync is very short. I changed to a new computer back in September 2013. My old one crashed. I have synced my ipad 2 and my iPhone 4S to itunes library on the new computer. All these devices show up in the "manage my devices" list except my ipod 6th generation. There is no "add device" to this itunes account, only an option to deauthorize the computer, the iPhone or the ipad.
The ipod downloaded songs that I added to my computer library on my new computer, but will not add new purchased songs nor library playlists.
My computer is shared with my husband. His user account on the same computer shows up in my "manage devices" section of my itunes account. He doesn't use it. I thought I had to add my itunes on his part of the computer because his is the "main user".
I'm not sure what to do. Should I take my computer, iPhone, ipad and nano to an appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I kept working at this after posting. On the sync page for the ipod on itunes library I chose to remove the iPods association with my old computer. It erased all the old content from the old computer and then put all my checked songs from the new computer on my iPod nano.

WLC is ARPing but will not receive answer from vlan-switch

Hi - this is my first posting in theese forums - hope I get it right
Setup: a procurve-vlan-switch (2915) is connected directly to a cisco-wlc (2504) on two ports.
     Port 1 on the wlc has the management- and apmanager-interface, untagged, connected to untagged port on procurveswitch.
     Port 2 on the wlc has a dynamic interface (vlan 100) connected to tagged (vlan100) port on the switch.
Port 1 I can ping, and everything works as it should, LAP connects and so on.
Port 2 I can't ping, and it will not let clients get an ip-address i the vlan100 segment.
     Wireshark tells me, that wlc sends arp-requests to the vlan-gateway on the procurve switch, and also that the switch replies in the same vlan (with tagged packets). But the WLC will not pick theese answers up and keeps ARPing for the gateway. Result is = no dhcp-answer to the clients.
Workaround: If I first ping from the wlc to the gateway, everything works for 5 minutes, i.e. I can ping the dynamic interface on the wlc and clients get ip-addresses, but when the arp-cache times out, everything goes black again.
BIG question: Can anyone help me with this? Why will the wlc not pick the arp-answer from the switch? The wlc asks with tagged packets and get tagged replies imediatly but will not listen
Sincerely
Nicholas Wolf Haamann

Is there a reason you are using two separate ports on the WLC?
Generally you would just create a Trunk port to the WLC and all traffic would pass over it.
The fact it works for 5 minutes makes me wonder if the WLC is somehow using the same MAC for both ports. What MAC addresses does the MAC address table on the HP switch show for both ports?

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.

AOL email connectivity issue - Sends but does not receive

I have 2 AOL email accounts on my Droid X. Up until Thursday, I had no issue receiving emails to both addresses. Suddenly on the Thursday my default account kept indicating connectivity issues with the account. The other AOL account worked perfectly.
I can still send from default AOL account and they are received, but I am not able to receive any email into this account. I tried to forwarding these email addresses to my gmail account. But gmail is not receiving emails from either account.
Any suggestions?

i didn't know people still used AOL mail LOL
Time Warner took over AOL and allowed customers to retain their AOL accounts to minimie the headache of converting everyone...
Now to the ones having issues, have you tried contacting AOL and make sure they are not transferring or updating a server, because usually when they do this it can effect some accounts but not other just as you have discribed. They may require a new port entered or even pop, imap or smtp access information. Drop them a call and verify incoming and outgoing addresses.

Outlook 2007 sends but does not receive on ipad

My Outlook works fine both receiving and sending emails on my Windows 8.1 laptop. However, on my pad mini outlook can send but cannot receive emails.
I would be grateful for a solution to this.

I found my problem.
“Add-ons” were the source of the problem.
I believe there was a conflict between two programs:
Norton’s Security Suite and AnVir Security Suite.
Both were trying to scan my incoming e-mail.
I uninstalled AnVir, reset Outlook back to its original configuration (i.e. reversed all the changes I described above), and my problem is gone.
Not sure why this problem took so long to appear as both programs had been install for at least a month without issues.
I used AnVir and ZoneAlarm for over a year together without issues.
However, about one month ago, I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and installed Norton’s Security Suite.
In any event, uninstalling AnVir solved the problem.
Uninstalling Norton’s and keeping AnVir would probably work as well.

Mail sends but won't receive

My problem started out with one of my mailboxes' passwords not sticking. I'm still having that problem. Now my other one will not download any new messages from the server but I did send a link to a friend this morning, so something's connecting. The error message on the supposed "good" mailbox said "there may be a problem with the mail server or network. And that "the connection to the server on port 995 timed out."
I"ve changed nothing in preferences except tried to input the correct password on the "bad" mailbox.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

My mail account is set up correctly but will not receive or send email?

My outlook email account works fine and it has automatically synchronised the set up / account information to my iphone 4s via itunes when syncing. However I cannot receive or send emails! Anyone know of the reason for this?

Do not attempt to sync email accounts. Security features hardly ever allow this to work without any edditing. Contact your email provider to find out the settings and servers they are using for mobile devices and then remove the existing account from settings, mail contacts calendars and create a new acccount there. After the setup is finished check all the settings of the crated acccount to ensure all sections are populated with information. Especialöly it might be neccessary to fill some fields in the smtp primary ßerver settings that are rated as optional.
