Mail stuck - Cant download mail for one use

My mail server running 10.4.8 was running fine, until yesterday I cant download mail for one user. I know there's mail in the account verified by the usage in Server Admin.
Using Mail a second account I have still works fine, but one of them wont retreive my mail. For that one account Mail has a spinning wheel for half a minute at least whereas the working account stays on for half a second. Both accounts are POP only.
I've tried Reconstruct on that account via Server Admin. I've also installed mailbrf and ran -m on that account and -f on the database. I've also restarted my machine. No change.
I've turned on POP logging to debug, and the log is identical for the working and non-working account.
Any suggestions?

MY GAWD! I just got all my mail! lol. Here's what changed....
Nothing at all was changed with the server.
However I recently got a new wireless router and swapped them, and after that all my mail came through. I dont understand this.
Before cloning the router to get it to work, I plugged my new wireless router to my ISP and I was assigned a new IP, so that was one change. Another change is the brand of the router and possibly the settings, however I think I set it up identically (ie. same WAN/LAN IP, same ports forwarded, server still has the same static IP.
Both mydomain.com and mail.mydomain.com point to my server via my router, and even though I check my mail from within the LAN side, I connect to mail.mydomain.com so it connects outside my network. And nothing changed with my domain settings other than me changing the IP address for both my domain and subdomain.
So in summary the changes are:
1. New wireless router (but same configuration for the most part)
2. New IP address
I still dont understand why I was unable to retrieve my mail before. I'm going to leave his question as 'unresolved' to see if I can understand what happened so I know for the future.
Thanks for all your earlier suggestions and I look forward to figuring out what the problem was.

  • Is there a fix for Mail keeping 4 connections open for one.......?!

    Is there a fix for Mail keeping 4 connections open for one email account setup as IMAP.......?!
    Im just wondering whether this is possible because it means our company website falls over when the processes go over 25! There are a lot of emails.....
    It is a massive pain and ideally we dont want to upgrade our hosting package if we can help it!
    There must be a way round it?! Someone brainy know any tricks?!

    Never have encountered this -- more info, please? What are 4 connections, exactly?
    Very simple: Mail opens one connection for each IMAP mailbox on the account. Typically, this means Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, and Trash, but also includes Apple Mail To Do and Junk and any mailboxes/folders the user has created.
    The problem is that Mail is keeping these connections open when it's done checking for new mail, even when *Use IDLE command if server supports it* is not enabled. With 4 email accounts on one server, this causes a "500 Internal Server Error" because there are too many processes running. As soon as I quit Mail, my web server resumes serving pages.

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

    the irony of this is that the lost audio books is Steve Jobs biography!

    If you haven't been keeping a backup of your downloads (none of your iTunes downloads are included in an iCloud backup, apps, music etc are only redownloadable whilst they remain in your country's store) then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I cant download ibooks for mac for free

    yea , after reading lots of discussions about this issue , it looks like its happening with lots of people. they try to read books on their macbook pro and they cant. it looks Apple wants u to buy other devices like ipad in order to be able to read books. and they do that in purpose.  cuz mainly they make money from selling hardware not from selling other products through their website.
    cuz it doesnt make any sence to me that u can read books on your iphone and u cannot on your macbook pro!!! this is rediculous!
    however, Im buying an Ipad anyway for my daughter and im wondering how i can download and read the book i already purchased  throu my macbook, im i still able to use the same Apple account and download whatever i purchased on other devices?
    Actually, Apple makes a nice profit from  songs, video, book, and apps. They also have apps in the AppStore for all of their major competitors in the eBook market some of which do have apps for reading on Mac OSX machines. So, no, it's not about trying to con you into buying hardware.
    Yes, if you and your daughter are using the same AppleID, you can share the iBooks on different devices.

  • I don't want Mac Mail to automatically download mail when I open that application

    I don't want Mac Mail to automatically download mail when I open that application. Is there a way to stop that? I can't find it in preferences. I have Check for new messages: Manually.
    Also, don't want Mail to automatically download on my iPhone 4S and iPad 3.
    Thanks

    Hi ctconnor;
    Since there are no virus for OS X, I seriously doubt that is what is causing your problem here.
    My suggestion open System Preferences then Accounts followed by Login Items. Once there deselect Microsnot Word.

  • I purchased an album and all of it downloaded except for one song.  after a few auto attempts an error message comes up saying the file is corrupted. how do i get the song i paid for?

    oh the error msg    error= -100000

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Mail.app not downloading email from one person

    Hi
    I am using Mail.app (v2.1) on 10.4.8 with a mac.com email address setup and am having problem receiving emails from just one person - that's right only one sender.
    What happens is, the person sends the email and it arrives at the webmail interface (i.e. I can view the email using Safari) but the emails are not downloading to Mail.app like all others i receive, I have to login to .Mac webmail to read the emails this persons is sending to me.
    At one stage while trying to solve this I had a "Rule" which would play a certain sound when email from this person arrives and Mail.app would play this sound but still didn't download the email.
    I have tried synchronising the account and rebuilding the mailbox but am still not able to get Mail.app to download these emails.
    Thanks for any help.

    I have had the same problem for over a year. Certian senders using my .MAC account get stuck on the .mac server. After a few days, a few of the emails may get through. Other emails to my .mac account will get through.
    For me, this started over a year ago when there was an OS update. I noticed it started on this Ibook then continued to all other MACs as the updates where made. I too have rebuilt the mailbox and synced the accounts.
    Where you able to fix your problem?

  • Downloaded mavericks for one mac can i use the same download to install on another mac

    I have downloaded for 12 hours initial installation on one mac for mavericks, and all installed successfully. Rather than download again for another mac, can I use the same download and copy on to the other mac..and if yes, where will I find it?

    All you need to do is go to System Preferences > App Store and uncheck the automatic install of updates box, then download the Mavericks installer, and copy to a flash drive.  You will need a flash drive of 8 G B or more since the installer is around 5.3 GB.  The installer will be in Finder > Applications.  You can then copy that flash drive installer to the Applications folders in all the Macs you have that are capable of running Mavericks, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    When the installer runs, the last step in the installtion is for the installer to erase itself.  So makng a copy before the installer runs is essential if you want to avoid redownloading.
    Installing from the same installer does not cause problems for Macs on the same network.

  • Mail stuck in the Mail Queue

    For reasons I have not yet understood, my 10.5.2 mailserver stopped delivering mail. After a few restarts it is now running again but;
    All the mail that arrived while it was stopped is now stuck in the Mail Queue. How can I get it to deliver thisstuck mail?

    If they can't get to the content filter on the first try, maybe it's overloaded? How busy is your machine?
    It's a new installation of Leopard Server on an internal drive, the CPU navigate from 0 to 20% so it's not here. I used spamtrainer to import the database from the old drive (Tiger Server) and the mail store is on a RAID disk so I just had to change the default mail location in the right pane. I just restarted the server on the Tiger Server disk and everything is fine there.
    Requeuing does not start the content filter, so if it were off, it'd still be off. So since it is running, it look like it can't keep up.
    Sorry, I do my best to be understandable :->
    I just made tries to see if mails would be delivered once the spam and virus filter is off and saw that mails were not delivered at all.
    Is this the normal behavior ?
    This problem of the content filter is probably linked to what I said in another thread.
    I cannot uncheck "Attach subject tag" in Server Admin. If I uncheck the spam filter and virus filter then mails are not delivered too.
    I doubt it is linked (unless you "play" with Server Admin while troubleshooting the queue). As I mentioned above, amavisd, doesn't run just "a bit".
    You can always change the amavisd and postfix settings yourself.
    If I knew what to change and where I probably would do it :->
    I'm just scared about how many things don't work as expected once Leopard Server is installed.
    Lot of problems with SMB too and as we have only one machine here I must reboot the server on Tiger if I don't want everybody here to kill me :->>
    Maybe some files cannot be read/write...
    If it was a permission issue, requeued mail would still hit the same issues.
    Yes... I thought about that.
    Do you think that it could help to download the 10.5.2 combo update and to reinstall it ?
    Doubt it, but it probably won't hurt.
    Will try it as soon as I can reboot the server on Leopard. I seems that someone will not leave the office like others will do today
    Thanks for your help.

  • Mail doesn't download Mail;  shows  "124 of 124 messages" in Activity.

    My girlfriend hasn't been able to get mail from one account for the last 30 hours, using her unibody MacBook (10.5.8) . Her 4 peers, using various Macs, are able to get their mail from the same server.
    Mail logs into the server fine, but messages don't download and the Activity window immediately shows the number of messages as if it were downloading the last of her messages -- for example, it now shows "127 of 127 messages" -- and then goes blank as if it has completed downloading.
    If there is any error message, it goes by too quickly to read.
    How can we figure out what's going on? Is there a way to make the Activity messages persist? Is there some hidden switch that gets Mail to log its activity?

    Hello there,
    It seems we face the kind of same trouble. Now here is the way I solved it, but I am not sure it is academic although it worked. But before you choose to try this (when in deep shxxxxxt, it doesn't cost much to take some risks, does it), maybe try with the very last step which is to close or force close mail, get rid of the Mail app in the Dock (if you use this way of accessing Mail) and open Mail from the Applications folder on your hard disk. As mentioned, this is what I did at the end of the process I explain below and now Mail works like a charm again. So maybe this simple step would work too, but I don't know.
    Now for what I really did: I accessed the Library (on my account, not on the hard disk – System 10.5.8). In this Library folder, there are 2 folders that you have to open. FIrst, the Preferences. In this folder, get rid of com.apple.mail.plist Then, in this same Library folder, there is one folder called Mail. I don't know what is in yours, but in mine I got rid of all documents dated with today's and yesterday's date or dates since when the trouble starded. Some of the documents are: AvailableFeeds, BackupTOC.plist, Envelope Index, DefaultCounts, MessageRules.plist, etc. (basically everything with a .plist and as mentioned everything dated very recent. They are sub-folders in that folders, such as POP-(account-name)@(provider).com, in which there are other subfolders named Messages. In this Messages folder, there are documents numbered with a .emlx extension. I got rid of all of those too.
    When I deleted all these documents, I nervously restarted my computer then as mentioned above, I got rid of my Mail access from the Dock and opened Mail from the Applications folder on the hard disk. When you do so, there are some prompts, you click OK as if it was the first time you use Mail.
    At the end of this process, Mail was opened and miraculously it worked like a charm.
    As I said, I am not a guru, I don't know if this way is the way to go, but it worked for me.
    Good luck

  • Cant download more than one podcast on my iPhone

    Hi,
    It seems that I cant have more than one podcast on my iPhone: I downloaded one OK (e.g. episode 1), then went to "Get More Episodes...", which took me to the correct page on the iTunes store, tapped on the arrow for a second podcast (e.g. episode 2). The download seems to proceed and complete as normal, but then the arrow reappears and the podcast is nowhere to be found on my iPhone. I tried several times, to no avail. As a test, I deleted episode 1 from my iPhone, and then downloaded episode 2, which worked just fine. If I then try to download episode 1 again (with episode 2 already on the phone), the problem re-occurs. So it seems as if there is a hard limit on only one podcast on my iPhone. I also tried downloading podcasts from other sources and the problem remains. I dont think it is a space issue as I have about 1GB left on my iPhone and each podcast is about 50MB. I have tried a soft reset, but again that didnt help.
    Can anybody help?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Arnaud

    Hi. First make sure you have the latest phone update (menu-settings-phone-phone mgmt-device updates-options-check for updates).Next, the Nokia c6-00 only has 128mb of RAM. Approx 80mb is needed to run the device. So that does not leave much for running APPs. When you run an APP you need to close it by using the exit command on the left. If you exit via right it leaves the APP open. Not all  open APPs are visible when you press and hold the middle button. Download App Stop from Nokia Store.I have it as a homescreen widget. I use it all the time to ensure I have closed an APP after leaving it. Also I switch off then reboot my phone each week. After it has settled down I use  App Stop to close all APPs opened on boot up usually contact, clock etc.(Use once then again just to be sure.)  Another good APP is Ergo's MemInfo which shows exaclty how much RAM is being used, you will need to Google for this APP. RamInfo is a more basic APP which is free from Nokia Store. I hope this is helpful.
