Mail will not receive any incoming mail from either of my 5 accounts

I have not been able to receive mail to my leopard mail.app for quite some time now... which is odd, as I can easily receive mail to my iphone on all the same accounts.
I thought at one point it was pgp, but now when I have completely re-installed leopard and manually moved mailboxes over, I still have same problem.
Anybody out there with a similar problem, solution?
Thanks

Thank you!
Well that is exactly it, nothing happened... when using connection doctor, it would say something like 'cannot connect to server' or something other, which is odd, since I have had this setup running for ages on all accounts nothing was new.
I could send at times with a long delay, but had not been able to pull down messages for good 2 weeks, and prior to that, it seemed that on some networks I could pull down, but on others I could not. (taking into consideration that I am travelling all the time, and use probably 20 different wifi's pr week)
Anyhows, after browsing the net most of today without finding much of anything, I just figured that my mail folder must just be a tad bloated (well I had more than 16000 sent messages). So I moved all my sent messages to a seperate folder, and deleted all my mail accounts, but kept my mail in folders.
Did a new setup of so far 2 of the email addresses, and they are running fine.
But can mail actually get too bloated, what is the limit?
Thanks again.

  • Mail will not receive any messages

    As of 9:30 Thursday morning, Mail will not receive any messages. I can still compose and send but incoming messages just sit on Google's server (where I've been reading and replying). Nothing was changed, Connection Doctor shows everything to be fine, I've checked and reentered passwords, quit Mail, restarted the computer, etc.
    Suggestions?

    I tried that again, including another shut-down, and based on another link, changingthe"check for new mail" preference from "automatically" to "every 5 minutes."
    No change.

  • Lightroom will not let me import photos from either camera or desktop. I can see them in the preview part of Lightroom but when I click import, just says they can't be read.  HELP!

    Lightroom will not let me import photos from either my camera or my desktop. They show up in the preview bit of Lightroom and I select the ones i want to import, then add my metadata info etc and file handling, but then when I hit IMPORT just keeps saying they can't be read.  SO FRUSTRATING.

    You are copying the photos. Does LR have the permission to delete the files from its source location - as DdeGannes suggested? Maybe this dialog is misleading.
    Did you try to just add files copied to the destination before - just for finding the issue?
    If nothing helps: Any chance you can upload one of the jpg to some file sharing service so we can have look at it?
    I believe DdeGannes suggested permission on the Destination folder (not the source folder).  Performing a copy requires only Read&Write permission on the destination folder, not the source folder. You need to go into your operating system and change the permissions to Read&Write on the destination folder. (If you don't know how to do that, go to your favorite search engine and type in Change Permissions Mac)

  • Ipod Classic keeps crashing I-Tunes and will not receive any music

    Yesterday I deliberately deleted all the songs off I-tunes and tidied all my music up, got rid of all the Albums I didn't listen to and a lot of singles from years ago. I then connected my Ipod Classic (80gb if that makes any difference?) to my computer and because I-Tunes had no songs it updated the Ipod and wiped that aswell.
    The problems started when I added all the songs back to I-Tunes and tried to sync the Ipod. It came up with an error which i cant remember exactly, something like an error has occurred and synchronisation can not be completed. Also Windows gave me an error box saying that a 'device' had bad sectors and needed to be repaired or it may not function correctly in the future.
    I can no longer connect the Ipod as it just crashes the computer. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can repair the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do I retrieve the answers to my security questions when I am not receiving any help emails from Apple?

    I forgot the answers to my security questions, so I logged into my account and had a help email sent to my email address. The email did not come to my email address. How do I retrieve the answers to my security questions?

    Call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to the Account Security Team.

  • Lightroom 4 will not import any new photos from Camera or a folder, "could not be read message" or "could not copy to requested location message"

    One day everything worked and the next everything except importing new photos worked. What could be the problem? Did a recient Adobe update do this?

    These messages usually mean the destination folder does not have WRITE permission. Change your permissions. (It's possible that it stopped working because the destination folder was accidentally changed, in which case you may only need to change the destination folder back to what it was previously)

  • Mail Will Not Receive After 10.6.2 Update

    I just updated to 10.6.2 and now my mail program will not receive any incoming emails. I seem to be able to send however. I'm sorry for another one of these "me too" postings about the mail program not working post update but I'm hoping Apple will see the number of postings regarding this issue and correct the problem.

    Ever since I updated to 10.6.2, I have had intermittent problems with sending, forwarding, and replying to emails from both my yahoo and mobileme accounts. I hit send and get the rotating rainbow and end up having to force quit. And now today, it's not downloading any mobileme messages. They are showing up on my iphone but not the iMac.

  • For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any  choice. Any ideas?

    For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any  choice. Any ideas?

    You can setup Mail for iCloud on the eMac.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)

  • I'm not receiving any mail into the Junk Mailbox

    Hi
    I had a problem with the ports of the 2 accounts that I have set up in Mail (one of those is mac.com) due to an excess of space used. I tried several options and it finally it worked. As a result, a week later I realised that I was not receiving any mail into the Junk Mailbox... I don't know if it is related to the orher problem, maybe not.
    Essentially I am no longer receiving any junk mail at all - and no mail that is even doubtful (ie from an unknown address). The mails are not showing up even online via MobileMe ... so I have no idea where they are!
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Yes, I'm the author of the form and I expected the generic notification to be sent to that email but none is coming through.  I also see that there is a place on the settings page to enter a custom notification email but that is grayed out unless I upgrade.  I just want at least one, generic email to be sent to me so that I can know when a user submits a form.
    Here's my screen shots:

  • One account in .Mac mail will not receive mail?

    I've tried sending to my other .Mac accounts and this is normal. My primary .Mac mail account will not receive mail. My E-Bay mail and other mail is not reaching this one primary account. Any suggestions?
    867 Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   My primary account is storing 1412 mail messages

    The .Mac servers for your area may be having problems this morning.
    I'm using Mail 2.0.5 but checking the .mac server
    directly takes mail out of the loop.
    Not true. For a .Mac type account, it will mark a message as read only in the Mail.app when the mailbox is synchronized with the server after messages are checked and read at the server using webmail access and if changed to a POP type account in Mail, any message that is available at the server will be downloaded by the Mail.app even after messages are read using webmail access.
    Is mail storage calculated separately?
    It is now. You can adjust - lower or raise the amount of server storage space alloted for the account.

  • 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.
