Mail will not receive nor send mail, very annoying

Hey all. I have this problem in Mail that it will not send nor receive the mail. I know you're gonna tell me to look in the forums as well as the support documents, but I have done those like...10 times? So I seriously need help. Both my yahoo and Gmail accounts will not work anymore. All the settings are all right and Mail used to work like a dream. I suspect it's something to do with the servers because when I try to set up mail in Entourage, it won't work as well. Any ideas. TIA! By the way, I can excess my mail through the Gmail website. When I try to excess my Gtalk account through Adium, it won't connect as well.

Hi,
Sorry to hear that your email doesn't work.
Can you please explain what your settings are?
Take each account separately. Try to work on one at a time.
My wife uses gmail from Mail, and every few months something stops working. Each time, I find that Google has changed something on their end that requires me to change/tweak one of her settings. I find the help on gmail.com to be invaluable for this. Make sure that they are exactly the same as in the help files.
My wife's parents use yahoo for mail. There email also sometimes fails. I don't know why. They live in Europe, so I'm not sure if it's just that they are awake when most of us in the western hemisphere are asleep when they do maintenance or something. It seems to just stop for a day or two, then work again. Yahoo also has some help files.

HT1277 My AOL account will not receive or send mail

My AOL mail account will not receive or send mail. It has a triangle with exclamation point in it next to inbox, when i click on that it says "there may be a problem with mail server to network, check AOL settings". Also says PORT 993 timed out

Mail will not let me send mail

Hi people,
I had a problem where mail would not log me onto any of my mail accounts. In the end i had to make another mail with gmail.
Although now i have created a new mail account and synced it with mail, i cannot send mail.
This is getting really frustrating, so please can someone help me.
Thanks

I have had problems with MAIL ever since I got a new iMac with OS10.5.
I have many email accounts; Most work, but I can only send mail through a couple of them.
For some reason, the passwords do not get stored in a stable way, so I am often, to my frustration since I have a bad memory for passwords, asked to provide it.
In particular, Mail seems to have trouble with two different accounts with the same server. For instance, I have two gmail accounts, and I am always asked for the password of one or the other, because apparently Mail gets them confused or something.
Also, when I look at my email accounts in Preferences, I see several with SMTP marked (disconnected). I do not know what this means, and can find no explanation anywhere.
I DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH MY MacBook using 10.4. So there

TS3276 My mail will not let me send mail and I seem to have lost my "Send" button I have to look under messages to find Send. I spent two hours with my service provider last evening trying to fix this issue and now today it does not work again, what did

I suddenly cannot send mail, I get the message I am not connected to my provider I seem to remember I had a send button of a paper airplane on my mail page and now I have to look under messages to find the send

Please describe in detail what happened when you took all the applicable steps in the support article that led you here. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem.

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.

I have an iphone 4s. able to receive all the incoming mails but not able to send mails through this iphone 4s. please help.

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?

2009 MacBook Pro eh? It looks like your hard drive has failed. Three years is pretty standard. Often, then only hint you have is catastrophic failure.
If you put the old hard drive into an external enclosure or similar device, you may still be able to migrate your data from it. Just because it won't boot doesn't mean you can't still read from it. Still, I wouldn't keep trying it. As long as you are buying a new hard drive, may as well get sometime to use with Time Machine too.

Ok. You don't have to select your number. Just check your email under your "grey" number and then at the bottom of this page you will see the option "Start new conversations from". Select your number.

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.

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.

AIM mail suddenly not received by mac mail

Hi-
I have been using my new AIM account on my Mac Mail for about 6 months now with few problems.
The other day Mail decided to not send out any of my AIM mail although it was able to receive them. This lasted for a day and a half and then corrected itself.
Last night Mail is not receiving any of the AIM mail, although it is able to send it out (although VERY slowly). It is still trying to receive mail but cannot as of this morning.
I have checked the Mail settings and they seem fine. Mail is still able to be sent and received without a problem on the AIM mail site.
How can I see if the problem is with Mail, AIM, or even just me?
Thanks!

I discovered the problem. I had tried to send some photos that made a very large file. Mail tried and tried to send it but I finally stopped it. In the meantime it had copied the 44.1 M email 260 times! I deleted and emptied the trash and now all is well!

Hi Hussein,
Thanks Alot for your reply.
Currently we changed the SMTP Server(mail.craftsmanautomation.com).we used anoth SMTP server to configure Notification Mailer.Because previous one(owa.craftsmanautomation.com) is not able to send mail's to outside domains.
But in this case we got the below error message while testing.Below error message we captured from the output file of the script Oracle Workflow ATG Support: R12 Java Mailer Setup Diagnostic Test.
