Mail stopped receiving emails; saves all sent emails as drafts

Two issues:
1.  Suddenly Mail has stopped receiving emails (just started yesterday). I can send with no difficulty, and retrieve emails online through my browser, but not through Mail.
2.  Each email I send is now saved as a Draft, even though it has been sent.
Anyone else having these problem? And know how to fix it?
Thanks

For the Drafts issue, access your e-mail via a browser, and check to see if there is a setting to store draft on the server. If it is an IMAP account, go to Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors and un-check Store drafts on server.

  • Mail won't quite without "force quite" , Mail stops receiving emails after a while, not happy about MAIL's performance!!!! :(

    I have massive problems with Mail.
    I use mail at work and have 3 accounts running
    1. Mac. mail account
    2. Gmail mail account
    3. Exchange Server
    I have quite a few folders in my accounts where I have to archive my emails to.
    Often very often or lets say annoyingly too often mail stops working.
    - stops receiving emails
    - emails I have put away in folders disapear in my inbox again
    - if I try to quite Mail it won't I have to force it and then when I open it again all my emails I was working on open again even so I have sent them already.Also all the emails I have folded away are back in my inbox WHAT A WAIST OF TIME!!

    Does anyone have the same problems and more importantly does anyone has a solution to this problem other then switching to Outlook???
    Thank you!

    I have the "stops receiving mail" problem with Exchange.  Sometimes I can open up the Activty window in Mail and stop  the stuck processes. Other times I have to close then reopen Mail.  I usually do the latter. A fix would be nice.
    I wonder if your other problems are related to this. The actual process of relocating your messages is maybe queued up behind one of the stuck processes. Just guessing. I have not had that problem.

  • Pop gmail account using Mac Mail has stopped receiving email.

    I have two pop gmail accounts using Mac Mail.  One has stopped receiving email while one is fine.  Both are set up exactly the same.  Any idea how to fix this issue?

    I saw on Yahoo's site the following:
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-40.html
    Does that address your problem?
    I see you're using the UK version and that there's no similar page on the Yahoo UK site but perhaps it helps anyway. Have a look here as well: http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/pop/pop-30.html

  • My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails. I have tried every trick and it's still not working.

    My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails from the mail app.
    I've been looking through the forum for hours and tried every variation of deleting the account, re-adding it, rebooting my iPad etc. I've tried everything! And I still can't receive emails.
    My drafts, sent emails and junk emails are all there but my inbox is empty and it's refusing to download the messages.
    When I refresh it, "downloading 1 of 250" pops up for a second and then disappears and it just says it's updated yet nothing is there.
    Please can someone help. This is incredibly annoying!!!
    My mail provider is Yahoo and my wifi is working fine.

  • TB stopped receiving emails after one with huge attachment. Updated TB. Can send but not receive. Using Yahoo POP server. Browser access works fine.

    Several days ago, after receiving a 7MB attachment, I stopped receiving email on my Yahoo POP account. Browser access to the Yahoo server works fine. I obviously deleted that message and attachment but curiously, it and only it continued to be downloaded to my inbox!!! I tried downloading a new TB and installing it. Nothing changed except that specific email no longer appeared (another did though, see later). Settings are to leave msgs on server until I delete them. I transferred all my inbox to a local folder and then compacted mail and tried testing reception from another source and nothing appeared on TB, just on browser access. Oddly, one very old message repeatedly appears, I assume as a result of the auto check for new mail but not sure. Though I try to delete this old message, I can't. I haven't removed and recreated account yet because I don't want to lose all the filter history. Scanned for solution and can't find any. Any ideas, please?

    Starting your mac in safe mode will disable the Symantec stuff long enough to download mail. Should the issue arise again

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, Exchange server 2007 stop receiving emails, then please follow these steps: -
    If you do have a 60 GB partition on the C: drive, one of the first signs of trouble is when the free space on C: drops below 2GB. Exchange 2007 stops receiving external
    emails. This is caused by a condition known as Back Pressure.
    Please check the following: -
    Check the nslook up for correct MX record.
    Run the exbpa and llok for any recent changes.
    Check for the device in perimeter network which accepts connections on port 25 FW or any other anti spam device).
    Try to run a telnet session from the firwall and then out side and drop email on the server.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • Stopped receiving emails in Outlook Express.

    Two days ago I suddenly stopped receiving emails in my Outlook Express.
    Outlook Express is configured to receive from my old Orange address which has never been a problem. Thinking it might be a problem with my Orange account, I checked with them and they assure me my account is still active. (I regularly log into my Orange account to keep it active.) Everything's been working fine for the past 2 years.
    None of my settings have been changed. Outgoing mail is mail.btinternet.com, and incoming mail is pop.orangehome.co.uk.
    I have just realised that around the time this happened I got an email in my Hotmail about changing from Hotmail to Outlook. When I opened this it said thank you for switching to Outlook, and then instead of being in Hotmail I was suddenly in Outlook! It didn't even ask me if I wanted to or not. But I noticed there was an option there to switch back to Hotmail which I did immediately.
    Of course, I don't know if it was that that stopped my Outlook Express from receiving mail. (I can still send mail from Outlook Express.) But it's the only thing I can think off and it does seem an odd coincidence.
    I've tried doing a System Restore back to the day before this happened, thinking there might have been a registry change or something which could be undone, but this didn't help.
    I'm now at my wit's end and panicking a bit. I'm a disabled pensioner, living alone, and rely on Outlook Express for all my financial and shopping stuff.
    Does anyone have any ideas where I might go from here?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Solved!
    It was Orange's fault. They no longer require the @fs appendage at the end of the account name in Outlook Express account properties.
    Wish they'd told me.
    Phew!

  • Temporarily stopped receiving emails

    I was on leave recently. about 5 days after I left my Microsoft outlook 2007 stopped receiving emails. when I came back, I read and deleted some emails then sent a test email to myself which was delivered without problem.
    Before I left I tried to set up out of office reply but failed.  is it possible that I may have changed a setting somewhere that could have caused this?
    I am on Windows 7 with Office 7.
    Regards
    D.
     

    Hi
    derekwinstone,
    Might be your Outlook setting has been changed and you are not able to receive emails. You should check it first. To Check your email configuration follow this:
    Tool >>Option>>Mail Setup>>Send Receive, Edit
    After clicking on the “Edit” button, a another pop-up window will appear and here you have to choose and enable the
    “Receive Mail Items” option.
    SMTP Server:
    1.) For Non-Encrypted and TLS: 587
    2.) For SSL: 465
    POP3 Server:
    1.) For Non-Encrypted:110
    2.) For SSL: 995
    Thanks

  • 8520 has stopped receiving emails

    I have spent hours on the phone to vodafone to no avail and hours on google - someone please help!!!. My blackberry curve 8520 stopped receiving emails 5 days ago. I have rebooted, deleted email address and set up again. sent service books, enabled SSL. I am using outlook 2010 and I think the problem could be associated. When I send the service book to my blackberry, I get the message that I must tick the option to leave messages on the serve. This is not an option as it is an IMAP account. Does anyone know what I am talking about and can help..................pleeeeeese!

    "When you access an IMAP e-mail account, your messages are copied locally. However, the messages also remain on the e-mail server until you mark them for deletion and use the Purge Deleted Items command." - From Microsoft Support on Outlook 2010.
    Just to be sure, in Outlook you can go to Tools > Account Settings. Select the e-mail in question and click "Change". You'll see an option at the bottom of the new window saying "More Options" choose that and then select the "Advanced Tab". At the bottom of that tab, there should be a checkbox to leave the messages on the server and 2 additional options you can configure to suit your needs. 
    If this doesn't work for you, please do reply back.
    Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

  • 8830 Verizon stopped receiving emails

    My Verizon 8830 stopped receiving emails about 5 days ago. I can send emails and access the internet. I was 20 days into a 30 day trial of Antair Spam Blocker. It seemd to be working well in its limited form. So, yesterday after not receiving any mail for 5 days, I removed Aintair from the unit. & still no new emails arrived. This moring I resnt the service books to my phone which indicated that my Blackberry has been activated to receive emails. I sent two test emails that got to my desktop computer but didn't get to my Blackberry and not a single email since 10:30 AM this morning. It must be a software issue right? Anyone please help.

    what kind off email address you have set up on BIS and how do you check mail on your computer?

  • Apple Mail stops downloading emails at a certain point

    Hello,
    I have just recently started to use Apple Mail (3.6) and set up two accounts: one POP for hotmail and one IMAP for gmail. While sending mails works fine with both accounts, the hotmail one stops downloading mails from the server at a certain point.
    From the approximately 15000 mails on the server, Mail downloads about 3000 (the oldest ones, which I neither need nor want on my computer anyway) and then stops. When I click on receive new mails, it will show the connecting sign as usual. The bar on the left, which indicates how many e-mails remain on the server and how many are currently being downloaded, pops up for a second, telling me that all remaining 12000 e-mails have been downloaded in the same time span - which obviously didn't happen.
    I have already tried deleting downloaded mails from my computer, thinking that there might be a limit to the number of mails saved on the desktop. Also I deleted the whole account and set it up again, but the same thing happened at exactly the same point, respectively the same email downloaded. What to do?
    Thanks to everyone who can help me out with this!

    Yes, these were the e-mails that showed up in the inbox, i.e. they were the chunk of mails that I could download before Apple Mail stopped the downloading at all. I deleted them because I thought it would make space for newer ones to be downloaded.
    No, I have not used any other Mail application before. I used to go directly to the hotmail-webpage.
    Interestingly, I have deleted the whole account again and set it up anew - which enabled Apple Mail to another round of downloading mails when I did it the last time. This time however, nothing happened: again, the bar on the left appears for a second, telling me that around 12000 mails are on my server and that all have been downloaded in about this second. But they do not show up. It remains a mistery to me, even more so as Mail is obviously able to detect all mails on the server (when I check under Account Information, Emails on Server) but not to download them.

  • Why has my iPad and iPhone email account stopped receiving emails?

    My email account has stopped receiving emails. I seem to be ok to send, and my wife's account appears to be ok. Could I have messed up when;
       - I deleted an old account I no longer wanted?
       - I ignored a message saying my account was full (but I deleted all old messages)?
       - I did something else I can't think of?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
