Mail sent to an alias arrives then disappears

This is really weird. I have four aliases. Two of them have both .mac and .me extensions. I was not receiving mail at one of my aliases, so I checked them all, sending mail to each one. Mail sent to the .mac extension of one of my aliases arrives in my inbox then immediately disappears. The same alias, oddly, with a .me extension arrives with no problem. All the other aliases are fine. What gives? Thanks in advance for any advice on this.
EDIT: woops. Went to another mac and saw it was being marked as junk. Unjunked it and all is fine.

I am also having this problem. I've had my .Mac account for three years and, while I want the convenience of using Mac Mail, like you said, aliases are pointless if not indicated. I'm forced to use web-based email. I had this problem with Mail ever since I've started my .Mac account and was hoping the Leopard upgrade would solve it, too little avail.
Sorry to piggyback, but I wanted to be notified if there is a solution. If you've found anything else out, please let me know!

Mail Messages arrive then disappear.

My emails are being pushed to my 3g iPhone but they almost immediately disappear from my Inbox. Any solutions?

I had same problem. Was the settings in the email account online, needs to be set to leave a copy on the server. If not, once you download them to your computer, they won't be there for Iphone to get, so it syncs to empty box and empties same from your phone.

Calendar entries arrive then disappear

We have 4 iphones and use icloud for our family calendar. More than once after somone makes an entry and hits the share button we see an invite, it appears on a calendar (either standard app or other and on iphone or could device) but a short time later it disappears and I am listed as deleting it - but I never touched the entry. Help ...

Try deleting the shared calendar from your device, then have the owner of the shared calendar invite you again (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9cbb).

Opened mail flashes on for split second then disappears

Usually use AOL version 9.6 for mail. This problem only happens on Firefox, not with 9.6 Have looked for settings and unsuccessful in resolving problem. I must be doing something wrong! Not computer savvy enough to make use of your suggestions

I'm working with FCP 4.1. I tried trashing preferences and unfortunately it didn't help. I'm working on an older system (obviously) 10.3. Nothing has changed that I can think of. I attached a large hard drive and imported a file but that's the only thing I can think of that was "different" over the past year or so. I had a problem last year with Quicktime 7 and FCP 4.1 so I reintalled Quicktime 6.5 and that's what I'm using now. I'll double check to see if QT 7 didn't somehow reinstall. What a pain that was to remedy.

Incoming Mac Mail Messages Arrive, then Dissappear

Have had my iMac for about a month, month and a half. Email has been working fine. Starting yesterday, when I open Mail, I see the new messages coming in at the bottom. By that I mean, the number of messages arriving. I also happens to show 0KB/sec. Just now seeing 33 messages arriving, but then they are nowhere to be found in my inbox. The email account is my ISP account cox.net. Like I said, never a problem until yesterday. Went out to another yahoo account and sent myself an email and my number of messages increased to 34 incoming messages when I hit "Get Mail". But, the messages just keep disappearing.
Where are they going and how do I get them back and fix this? Please help. Thanks in advance.

HI,
Not sure if this applies but...
*If messages disappeared from mailboxes*
If all the messages in a mailbox have disappeared and are missing, it’s possible the mailbox contains too many messages and attachments. This can happen with mailboxes whose sizes range from hundreds of megabytes to more. Although you can’t see your messages, they’re still in the mailbox.
Here are ways to redisplay the messages:
If you have multiple email accounts, view the inbox for each account separately, instead of viewing the Inbox mailbox. The Inbox mailbox displays messages from all of your accounts, and all of those messages together might be too large to be displayed.
Quit Mail and then reopen it.
To avoid this problem again, keep your mailboxes from getting too large.
Also, make sure your account is "online" .. To take just one of your accounts online, choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take account name Online.

Launch Mail.
Start "New Message".
Click "View" in the menu bar and then "Customize Tool Bar".
Customize Toolbar sheet should drop down.
At bottom left there is "Show" pop up box, click it and select "Icon and Text".
Click "Done".

E-mail messages appear, then disappear.

I've been having e-mail messages show up in the inbox then disappear. It's been happening for months. I use a lot of rules and folders.
Steps I've taken:
– Rebuilt every mailbox in Mail
– Today I deleted the Envelope Index but the problem keeps happening
– Contacted SpamSieve to see if it might be their add-on (they don't think it is)
I archive all of my e-mail at Gmail so I can see that every day a few messages get through but don't turn up in my inbox. Any suggestions? Are there some more things like the Envelope Index that I can trash and hope for a fix?

Gmail can only access from a server that supports POP3 -- .Mac does this, but conceptually it is counter to the philosophy of an IMAP account, which with Mail you have set your .Mac account to be.
In setting up Gmail to access an account (remember it does so as POP) you have a selection of whether to leave messages on the server or not, and furthermore the instructions for such Gmail access talk about the possibility of too many messages on the server. But that concept is based upon the server being a POP server. Yours is set up to operate as an IMAP account, and in an IMAP account all messages and indeed the entire Inbox resides on the server. If a message were removed from the server it would be removed from the Inbox you are expecting to view in Mail on your Mac. The symptom would be just like a "winking out", as Mail remembers the message was once there, but suddenly it is gone!
Access via Gmail is just like accessing from another email client or device.
More info, and confirmation of what you find, please.

Viewing email sent to an alias in Mail v3.2

I've recently added an alias to my .mac email account in an effort to try an manage my email more effectively. When I view my email through the .mac website, I can see the emails sent to my alias and they are highlighted a different colour, which allows me to quickly differentiate between senders.
However when viewing my .mac email account using Mail v3.2, i can see all messages but those sent to my alias are not highlighted. Is there a setting I need to adjust in Mail? Otherwise having the alias is pretty pointless for me.
Cheers
Frankie

Some mail sent from Mail is not being received or sent

I am losing mail, both received and sent, intermittantly. It definitely involves my .Mac email account but I don't know if it involves others. A friend who also has a .Mac account is experiencing the same problem. It does NOT necessarily have to do with any attachments or bcc's. Is anyone else?
iMac G-5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have a similar but perhaps unrelated problem. Every now and then, I send an email on my gmail account using Mail. The sent mail appears in my sent box, but never arrives, and does not appear in my webmail sent box (where it usually does, using gmail). Most of the time it works, and it even works most of the time with people it has had a problem with, including mail I send to myself at work at my professional address. Usually arrives...but not always. I don't know how to trust my sent mail box without always going on the webmail to make sure it actually went out. I only have this problem when using the Mail application, but there are no other common characteristics (attachements, ISPs, etc) to say there could be a problem with one of those things. Anyone else have this problem?

I can no longer open Smart Notebook on my MacBook OSX 10.4. It just bounces in the dock then disappears

The operating system is OSX 10.4.11
Notebook 10 was running fine except for the flash activities would no longer work. I upgraded to Notebook 10.7 from the website to try and fix this. The new Notebook version nor the uninstaller would launch. They bounce in the dock for a second or two and then disappear again. I drug and dropped all Smart files into the trash since the uninstaller didn't work and reinstalled Notebook 10 from a disk I have. Now it also bounces in the dock for a second or two when I try to launch it then it disappears. I also tried to repair permissions but this didn't help.
I checked the console log and got this information:

ALL e-mail SENT since 28 Oct FAILED. Is this a SMP...

I use BT Yahoo e-mail and Outlook 2003. No problems whatsoever until yesterday when a client advised that he'd not received a couple of e-mails. I re-sent them and all looked fine. The pop-up box confirmed Send/Receive complete & the e-mail moved from Outbox to Sent Mail.
First thing this morning I sent myself a test e-mail from Outlook and again it seemed OK. The test though didn't appear (8 hours later) in my In-box. I then logged onto my BT e-mail a/c via the webpage to see if my mail had got that far; but discovered that BT Yahoo Internet's homepage had moved and that BT claimed they were "changing the way e-mail worked". I therefore wondered if this mightn't be linked to my problem. Further reading showed that BT had signed-up to some anti-spam initiative and that "IF YOUR CLIENT DOES NOT SUPPORT THE SMTP AUTHENTICATION YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT TO SEND BT YAHOO MAIL". The website offered a link to automatically check and fix my client settings, but Outlook 2003 wasn't on the list of clients supported.
I checked my Outlook e-mail account settings manually and found the "my outgoing server (SMPT) requires authentication" box already checked. I even unchecked the "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" box and re-entered my user name and password. But still the same problem. All Sent mail LOOKS normal but isn't being delivered if sent using Outlook. TO BE CLEAR - e-mail sent from the BT Internet webpage is fine
The incoming and outgoing server details and the port settings all look fine (POP3/port 110 & SMTP Server/port 25)
Any ideas, anybody???

This may help to get your correct settings.

I have been using PE and PRE 9 for e few years, I just purchased the upgrade bundle PE and PRE 10. My problems are :-
Having installed the PE 10 after falling into all the traps eg installing without Norton 360 running, Disabling Adobe Bridge, and learning to disable running programs without FEAR using the Task Manager. I thought I had conquered all the install problems. I then clicked on the ICON behold the organiser sprang into view, breifly about 2 sec then disappeared from the screen. The Task manager shows that the program is running.
I spoke to Support by chatting with someone for about 1 hour but ended up being told that they could not help me and gave me a phone number to ring in Australia. I rang this number to be told to wait asIi was being transferred, this wait was for 2 hours, I tried again and waited for 1 hour no answer.
I am waiting to see if any one can help befor trying to install PRE 10
Thank all you good souls who rush to aid such as me

Dear Ken I sent a long reply but I dont think I sent it correctly.
Here is the abbreviated version
1     Found and loaded the 2 shortcuts

4     I have started receiving The instruction atxxxxxxxxx ref memory at xxxx could not be read and Font capture photoshopserver.exe application error reports.
5     I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times with no success
6     As I am in the middle of movie making quite ok with PRE 9 and PE9 with huge data files, I am not willing to risk losing any projects
7     Thanks for your help and maybe ifyourself any one else reading this (including Adobe Support) has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it
8      I have another computer almost identical which I installed the program on and it is working fine the I call this no 2 machine   the number 1 machine is giving me the trouble

Mail sent from iPad not appearing on desktop (windows) pc

Have had to change my BT Yahoo email account to BT Mail so on the iPad deleted the BT yahoo account and then added the BT mail account. Problem is that mail sent from iPad no longer appears on the (windows) pc. What am I missing
ipad iOs 7.1.2

If it is IMAP, then obviously something is wrong. I don't know if there is a problem on the computer setup. Are you sending the email from a web browser or from an email client? I don't think that should matter anyway unless you have incorrect settings in the email client.
Have you tried sending an email from your computer and see if it shows up as sent mail on the iPad? Have you considered deleting the account and then add it back yourself on the iPad?

Not all e-mails sent to me are reaching my account

I have recntly found that e-mails sent to my account are not reaching me, some just don't arrive others are several weeks late. I operate a desktop computer with Mavericks and an Apple @mac.com account. Any ideas

I will try the next time that an e-mail does not arrive. I am having several of my contacts get in touch with me by phone when they send me an e-mail that I do not acknowledge, therefore not received. Many thanks for your advise

Messages Appear then Disappear

My iphone 5 (ios 7.1.2) has been acting up. It says i have two unread texts but ive opened them all. Earlier today i got a couple texts that showed up on the lock screen preview, but then disappeared when i opened up the messages. Emails show i have 989 but often will clear to zero, once i hit the email app it has to redownload and often times crashes. Some of my texts come in and there isnt a name or number on it either, so i have to scroll through the convo to figure out who its from.
ive tried resetting my network settings and did a hard reset and backed it up via PC, the number of two unread texts is still there.
