Mail will not show in inbox

I just added a new yahoo email account to my mail app and it won't show the messages in the inbox. However, I can send messages and it tells me the number of messages I have in my inbox. I can also access my sent messages.
I have tried to delete it and add the account again but it doesn't help. I have made sure that i am not signed in on that email on my computer. I have also tried to restart my iPad2. My other yahoo account works just fine on my mail app. I did install it directly through my iPad and not thru iTunes.
I've done all I know to do. Any ideas?

Under "Mailbox" did you try "Rebuild"?

Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends OK. Mail server is working

Hello
As I said above, Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends mails OK. The Mail server is working because my iPad is receiving and displaying incoming messages.
Your advice is most welcome.
Thanks!

Thunderbird successfully displays all of my e-mail accounts in the list of accounts and displays all of the inboxes correctly however it doesn't display the e-mails at my newest address in the unified inbox. To see them, I have to click on that particular e-mail accounts inbox. In every way, this account appears to be set up the same as the all the other ones. The newest e-mail account is a second account through Zoho. What do you think is the problem?

Yahoo mail will not show the body of an email. It works in Internet Explorer so I know it's not the Yahoo mail itself.

The body of my emails does not show up in Mozilla, but works in Internet Explorer.

Well it depends on what webmail client you're using. If you're using yahoo, then there is no way to do it. I asked them a couple of years ago and they replied back that they had no plans in the future for the option embed a picture in their mail. if you're using Hotmail, there is a program called Live Mail Client that will let you embed a picture in your email but it's only for Windows. Maybe in the Future they will build one for Mac OS's. Not sure about Gmail.

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 ...

Downloaded messages will not show in inbox.

I'm using a BlackBerry 8900, though that's obvious I suppose, on a BES server at a University. We recently shifted everyone at the U to a new server and now although I have notifications that there are 32000+ messages in my inbox, I can't see any of them. I have no idea what to do at the moment. The IT guy who handles BB's is out on vacation, apparently he's the only one who has our technical service code (ridiculous), and Google is failing me today. So far I have tried removing the battery. I would rather not wipe the BB as we just did that last week and are still dealing with the issues resulting from that. Does anyone have any ideas?

forgot to mention that I am using a z10 with the latest update

Mail will not show images in e-mails

For some reason, after having my Comcast internet re-connected recently, I can no longer see images embedded in e-mails. They don't show in the preview pane or when the e-mail is double-clicked. It's very strange.
I tried deleting the preference file and all the other tricks, but nothing seems to work. I also haven't been able to find any answers to this online, so it seems to be a very strange problem.
Any/all help would be greatly appreciated. I guess my next step would be to create a new user and see if that works.
Thanks in advance.

I'm getting the same problem with my Apple Mail, but only from one sender! His messages have images embedded in the email, but they only appear as placeholders (blue square with ? in it). I can Quicklook them, but they appear in a different order to the sequence in the email (judging from the descriptions). It's weird that it only happens with emails from this user (using Outlook, I believe).
Stranger still, I can see the images fine using Mail on my iPod touch accessing the same POP account (I've set it leave the messages on the POP server for 7 days so both clients can grab them).

Why do Apple Mail attachments not show in SENT?

I use Mountain Lion OSX10.8.2 on a 27" iMac/1TB HD/12GB RAM.
When I write an Apple Mail email and attach a jpg (for example),
I am never sure if the attachment was sent.
Apple Mail will not show me in SENT that there was an attachment.
There is no record of the attachment on the previous sent email.
Am I missing something? How the heck am I suppose to know if
ANY attachment was sent or not?

Hmm I thought this got sorted out in 10.8 but maybe not.
I asume you are in full screen, with the three column view?
If you change to classic you should see the attachment paper clip?
What I had to do for a work-a-round was create a "rule." Even with this you have to right click the selected sent box>> apply rules

Hotmail emails in my inbox on the server but will not show up on my iPhone?

Help - I have hotmail emails in my inbox on my computer but they will not show up on my iPhone. I am using the "Windows Live Hotmail" option in the settings. The specific emails are not marked as junk, still in my inbox, they are addressed to me, they span about 2 weeks with some as recent as 3 days ago and are all from 3 specific people regarding my sons baseball team. I have tried deleting my account and setting it back up. I've added the email addresses to my contacts to see if that helped. I didn't have this issue when I used the generic pop 3 type of setup. I moved to the Windows Live Hotmail setup so when I delete an email from my iphone it also deletes it from the server. This is all working perfectly. I don't actually log into the server very often and almost missed this email. Thanks!
PS - this is an iPhone 4 that I have had for about a year. I am on iOS 5.0.1 and the phone says it is up to date....

TS2998 After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin).

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

BCC will not show recipients in Mail app - for IMAP client user

Our office iMac was just upgraded to Mavericks. The Apple mail app (which we use via IMAP to receive our gmail) will not show BCC recipients on sent mail. Not sure what other info you might need.
Yes it did work prior to Mavericks upgrade --lots of other quirks that are just user preference issues but this is by far a concern because we need to keep track of school sent emails. So far the only solution has been to use the gmail client via web interface -- hoping there is a different solution!
Thanks for any help

John -- Thank you for your reply.
When we send the email we (our user end) can see the recipients in the BCC field (good)
When the email is delivered they (the recipient) cannot see all the other emails (good)
"Susie" (who was on our original BCC list as a recipient) calls and says I did not get the email - We go to our sent folder and click on the sent email to verify the email address we used but (and here's the issue) it says "No recipients"
Prior to installing OSX Mavericks -- it listed ALL the recipients in our sent folder copy of the email (this was very helpful to us)
To date the ONLY solution has been to use the web version of gmail -- My question is (and please know I have done a number of checks on this process) Why did it work BEFORE upgrading to Mavericks and why does it not work NOW? Our school secretary is convinced it is "my fault" for upgrading the system -- I am convinced there is a user error since she NEVER lists anyone in the TO field
She will NOT use the web interface because it takes "too much time" -- for this my response is -- then fix it yourself! (Sorry 10 days left of school -- tech coordinator frustration creeping in -- tired of id10t erros -- should have waited to upgrade until no one was around and NOT tell them!)

TS3899 Mail on my iPad 2 suddenly will not download my inbox for one account.

Mail on my iPad 2, iOS 8.3 suddenly will not download my inbox. I have two other accounts on the same provider (AT&T - Yahoo) with the same settings that work fine. The account will send mail OK. Sometimes it will return an error message "cannot connect to server" after a long time of the spinning wheel. It was doing this just prior to updating iOS 8.3 and still the same after updating.
If I delete the account and re-add it, will I lose all my mail folders, the emails saved in them, contacts, calendar, etc.?
Will a restore recover them at that point?
Any ideas or suggestions?

If you delete the account off the iPad you won't delete the info permanently, although you will delete it off your device. If you delete it off your iPad the data will come back when you re-add it.

Are all your accounts yahoo? If so you may want to read the above posts. There have been issues with yahoo for quite some time now. People have said these fixes work, however I haven't tried any of them since mine is still working.

I have multiple imap accounts on thunderbird, but the last two accounts will not show messages in the inbox.

I have 7 imap accounts some with several subscribed folders. One is a gmail account. The others are from a personal .com. Everything works fine, including the gmail, except the last two accounts added will not sync the inboxes. The sent boxes sync fine, but I see no messages in the inboxes of just the last two accounts added. I know the imap server is working properly as the messages received to these accounts can be viewed via webmail, and the inboxes sync just fine on my email on my phone. I have been over and over all the settings from account to account. What am I missing. Please help.
Thank you.

Saved file will not show up when trying to attach file in mail

Sometimes... and only sometimes.. when I make a new file and then go back to my email or browser to attach the file it will not show in the place I saved it. If I click to list view SOMETIMES. I check the folder I saved it in and it's there.... .. go back to attach it.. it's not. Sometimes it will pop up if I toggle to column view then back to list view, but not always. Sometimes it's there the first time. Frustrating!!!

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
This sounds like a permissions problem. Have you recently Repaired Disk Permissions? Is the file saved on the same HD or partition where your Home folder resides?

MAIL will not allow iCloud alias to receive mail

I am not a novice. I have been on iCloud (sadly) since July 2011. Today I tried to activate an email alias which was transferred into iCloud. It's valid and has been for years, but not activate since I migrated to iCloud.
Every time I set up the existing alias in MAIL I get the error "invalid incoming mail server." I have used the Apple recomendation to use imap.mail.me.com. When it comes time to exist ACCOUNT under Mail PREFERENCES, it will never SAVE changes as the incomding mail server information is grayed out and goes back to "example" and is not accessible.
I have also entered p99-imap.mail.me.com with the same result.
Two hours of going to icloud.com or managing my apple id online have brought exactly the same result. Although the alias shows as activated under icloud.com and although it is accepted by MAIL, the message is always the same (invalid incoming mail server) and the account change can never be saved in MAIL.
XXX
I have a business with MobileMe accounts and we are going to be forced to migrate to icloud in a few months. I have nightmares about it alraedy.
Since Apple doesn't give a good cr*p about this, I humbly ask if there is anyone who really knows what is going wrong and how to work around it?
Again: I migrated to icloud with my apple id in July 2011. MAIL will NOT set up my icloud alias as it always grays out the incoming mail server and returns the error "invalid incoming mail server" and will not even allow me the save the information.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi Roger
Thank you for your suggestions.
I already have an ALIAS set up and receiving emails in my main INBOX under the alias name. It is a MobileMe alias from my separate business mac account. It has worked as a separate "account" under MAIL for 10 years. It is an ALIAS, not a main identity mac account. The System Preference panel is ACCOUNTS, not aliases, so I use the word "account" when I speak of setting up a new inbox with a different name and password whether that is an iCloud alias or a gmail account.
We may be talking about the same thing but I'm not using a word you use. I am allowed 3 icloud mail aliases. I am allowed 5 mail aliases under my business mac account. On my mac MAIL I already have three separate "accounts" or inboxes: (1) my private mac ID account (2) my business MAC account (3) an alias from my business account. All three have different passwords. None of the three gets emails sent the other two "accounts."
Maybe I just don't get "icloud." I certainly got "MobileMe" in the past. The alias that is currently working as a separate "account" or "identity" under MAIL is proof of that.
I am going to delete the "alias account" from MAIL and call it a day. For me, iCloud is commensurate with Windows ME in the history of computing: a stupid change that resulted in nothing but aggravation for everybody who was dumb enough to sign up for it. I won't be signing up for the next "big thing" from Apple. I'm sure there are tens of thousands of other users who feel equally "used" by Apple on this.
I'm marking the question ANSWERED and closing the thread. iCloud is iCrap and nothing I've experienced with it in six months has changed that opion and the fact that you can get a gmail account operating in MAIL in 2 minutes but you can't get an iCloud email alias working in five hours is just more fuel on that bonfire.
Thank you again for your couresty and your time. I doubt if my business account, which has to be downgraded to iCloud in a few months, will function at first and I doubt if the 10-year-old alias on that account will continue to function in MAIL.
Mike
