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.

  • Mail will not delete any messages

    I have a 10.5.6 server running my mail services. I have a 10.5.6 client checking it. I currently have over 4,000 messages in my inbox and they all get downloaded when I check my mail. If I go to the account preferences in Mail.app and tell it to delete all the messages, they are not deleted. If I go to Get Account Info in Mail.app, I can see all the messages on the server. If I try to delete any of them, they're never deleted.
    Now, to get more technical. I telnet into 110 on my server and user the user/pass commands to log into the POP server. Doing a "list" shows how many messages I have and how large they are.
    Let's say the last one is 4133 (which it is). I do "dele 4133" to remove the message, then another "list". It shows the message is deleted. I quit out of the pop server, log back in and the same message is there.
    Seeing all this, I know the messages aren't getting deleted.
    Any ideas why? I have to disable my email until I get this resolved. I currently have 170,000 messages in my client's junk folder (fun times deleting those).

    Yes, it was definitely within Cyrus. The Apple interfaces are pretty and all but they didn't even get close to helping me solve this easily.
    Essentially, what I did was download all the emails from the server (to make sure I didn't miss anything), rename my email folder to something different to preserve the emails in case I really did miss something, then do a recover on the mailbox.
    Being a UNIX-head, here's what I did on the server:
    cd /var/spool/imap/user
    mv scott scott.dead
    sudo /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -r user/scott
    Sudo, of course, prompted me for the superuser password but everything was fixed right away after that. It is recommended to shut down the mail service from inside the Server Admin program first.

  • 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 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.

  • My brother gave me his iphone and i activated it with my phone number but i can not receive any message and i notice that  on iMessage stills appears his phone number, what do i have to do?

    my brother gave me his iphone and i activated it with my phone number but i can not receive any message and i notice that  on iMessage stills appears his phone number, what do i have to do?

    Launch iTunes on your computer, plug the phone in & on the "Summary Pane", select "Restore". This will restore the phone to factory settings with all of your son's stuff gone. You can now use it as an iPod touch. To do this REQUIRES the deactivated sim card be still installed in the phone.

  • Apple mail will not open any windows for me.

    I have a mid 2009 mac book pro. I upgraded to Mavericks and now my apple mail will not display any screens (windows). When I open it, it will bounce once in the dock then show the nav bar at the top, however most everything like send new mail is grey. I have tried loading upgrades but they won't load to my HD for some reason or another and am at a loss.

    Try holding down the shift key when opening Mail.

  • My mail will not receive mail

    My mail will not receive mail. It seems the last mail I had was 24th Dec but I have got the mail on my ipad and iphone ok. If I connect via safari I can get mail ok. I tried deleting old mail, no change.

    Not so fast ;-)
    How many email accounts are you using with Mail.app?
    In the left-hand panel of the Mail window, under "Mailboxes", you can see (beneath other things) the inbox(es) of your account(s). Is there some sort of sign/logo displayed to the right of their names? Is it possibel that you have taken it/them offline by accident?

  • Mail will not receive messages

    Shortly after installing Security Update 2011-005, Mail stopped receiving messages on all three of my accounts (two Gmail IMAP accounts and one Microsoft Exchange 2007 account).
    Mail will seemingly download the messages and show progress in the lower left display panel as usual, but even though it appears as though the messages were successfully downloaded they never appear in my inbox.
    I've checked all the account settings, but nothing seems to be wrong..
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Naomi

    I would recommend removing all three account, although you could probably do it one account at time, and then adding them back.  Since the messages for all three account reside on the server, nothing will be lost.  With the setting to Keep copies for Offline viewing, it will take a good bit of time for all messages to again download to the computer, so I would change to not keep copies for Offline viewing -- you can always change that later.
    The problem may simply be with indexing the mailboxes to display these messages, and this will correct that, if so.

  • 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 will not show individual messages, has this been fixed yet??

    Greetings everyone,
    Finally downloaded Yosemite on my Mac, and had been warned about mail issues... but I did it anyway.  Now the mail app opens and all of my mailboxes are there, but it says "no message selected".  I see that I have new messages (from Gmail and also a Yahoo account), but am unable to access them.
    I can compose and send, but cannot see what I sent after I hit "send" on the email.
    So very frustrating, was hoping there would be an update/fix by now....?!??  Searching for a fix has been just as frustrating, it seems that everyone is experiencing different types of bugs.
    Appreciate the help!

    I've seen this issue too a few times. And found a "solution". But first, describe the problem:
    Launching Mail, it will download new mail, but never shows any messages in any mailboxes.
    Try to close the mail Message Viewer or Quit the app, and it hangs with beachball.
    Force Quit and re-launch the Mail app and still can't see any messages.
    SOLUTION: Log out and back in again, and Mail behaves normally.
    After Force Quit, sent the crash log to Apple a few times ... so maybe they're working on it.
    If you have this same problem and have to Force Quit, try sending the crash log to Apple ... lots of these will get someone's attention.
    I'm guessing that some behind-the-scenes process (responsible for showing mail in mailboxes) is crashing or caught in a loop.
    Logging out/in restarts that process.
    But haven't had time to investigate further yet ...
