Mail won't download from server

I downloaded the new software on my iPhone 4 and installed it. Now my yahoo mail won't download from the server. I rebooted, deleted the mail account and reinstalled, and restored the software too. Any ideas?

Not knowing what’s really going on here, and since re-creating Envelope Index apparently didn’t work, you may try setting up Mail again from scratch, as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/. Move (not copy) the entire Mail folder out of there, to the Desktop.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop.
4. Open Mail and set it up again from scratch. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and check that everything works fine.
You’ll have to re-configure all your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
5. If Mail works fine now, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import your mail from the old Mail folder that’s now on the Desktop. Import the Mailboxes folder first, then each of the POP-username@mailserver account folders.
As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated now. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that may help to fix that.
Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you wish and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Email message won't download from server since installing IOS7

Some of my emails both on my iPad and iPhone won't download from server since installing IOS7!

I'm having the same problem with both my iPhone and iPad after installing iOS7. Checked all the settings and spoke to my email provider and everything is set up properly. It's hit or miss which messages don't download from the server too. And occasionally, a message that does download to my iPad, won't download on my iPhone. Everything on my PC downloads properly, it just seems to be an ios7 issue as this wasn't a problem before. My wife uses the same email provider and is still on iOS6.x with no issues. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thank you for your help, that did the trick. My mail box was too large, once I emptied my trash the problem has not repeated itself. I thought I had my trash set to empty upon quiting. My Mail box was 1.6 gigs and I was trying to keep it clean by throwing old mail and junk mail away, but it built up and I did not realize it.

I keep getting a message "The MobileMe IMAP server ... rejected the password for ...." I can use that password when I go to iCloud, but my e-mails won't download to my computer. What's the mix-up?

If the setting is greyed out perhaps you have restrictions enabled that would prevent someone from changing accounts. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts.

How to fix message not downloaded from server

Hello everyone,
My name is Joshua Kahley, and I am an IT technician in charge of handeling email related issues in my company. We host our own web and email server and since the I-OS 7 update we have had a problem where many messages cannot be retrieved from our email server. I confirmed with my own phone that this issue did not exist prior to I-OS 7, messages that displayed fine before were no longer be readable on I-OS 7 when i upgraded.
The error message I recieve is "This message has not been downloaded from the server"
I'm not sure if this is a problem that can be solved on the phone itself as I have tried changing numerous settings. Has anything changed with the way I-OS 7 handles IMAP messages that my require us to change settings on our server? No other email provider has this issue as far as I can tell; in addition, all of our customers have the same issue (they all have their email through our servers)
If anyone has any insight into this I would greatly appriciate it.
~Joshua Kahley

No fix, but I found a work-around for a single message that iOS email refuses to download at http://www.bitcraft.com.au/iphone-mail-app-says-this-message-has-not-been-downlo aded-from-server/
that reads:
...here’s a quick fix… Forward the message. Just click Forward and it will ask you “Download rest of message first?”. Say yes and then you will see the old message quoted in the forward. Now if only Apple would make than an option without having to ‘fake’ forward it…
The above worked for me when I encountered "This message has not been downloaded from server” on my iPad 3 running iOS 7.1.1.

On the left, you should have a list of keychains and categories. If not, Select Show Keychains from the View menu.
Select the login keychain and All Items in the Category.
In the search field, type something that will help find your account keychains, like "gmail."
Select the keychain for your email account password and delete it.

Mail won't download over Wi-Fi, only over O2 signal?

I've just got a replacement iPhone (stuck pixel issue with the last one) and have encountered a little e-mail problem.
When I am connected to my home Wi-Fi network (via my iMac), my mail doesn't download from my ISP's POP account. They only successfully download when I'm connected via O2 (no EDGE in my area at the moment, so it's just a regular connection), and all I get is a message saying "The connection to the server failed". I know there is sure to be a very simple answer that is looking me right in the face at this very moment, but I'm not sure what it is! Is it a problem with my router? It's a cabled DSL connection via Ethernet.
Any help or advice would sure go a long way at the moment!
Thanks in advance.

Okay - it seems that maybe no one else has had this problem so I will try and be a little more specific in what the issue seems to be.
I have two mail accounts - one is .Mac and the other is a POP account via my ISP (which living in Hull is Karoo). When I try and download mail via my Wi-Fi connection, the .Mac account works just as it should and any attached images download with the mail. With the POP ISP account, the mail does not download when I am connected via Wi-Fi but downloads fine when connected via O2. Can anyone give me the slightest clue as to why this is and what I can do to solve it?
Many thanks.

Mail won't download on ipod touch

My sister-in-law is able to log into her e-mail and see the heading of the messages, but when she clicks on them it says "messages not downloaded from server." What would cause this?

Same incoming email/Mail symptoms here on my (2nd gen, I think?) 8GB ipod touch, ever since I upgraded to iOS 4.1.
I can see the email and its opening lines in the inbox, but when I try to read individual emails, the body is always blank, nothing displays. The mail account has always been set up as a POP account.
Something with the upgrade, I'm assuming?

Message "not downloaded from server. You need to take this account online

After upgrading to 10.4.9, when I click on any of the old emails in my inbox I get the message "this message not downloaded from server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
I can still read all email in any other mailbox.
I can read all email received after upgrading.
I appreciate any help.
G4 17 inch Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1 gb ram

You upgraded to 10.4.9 from what?
If you upgraded from Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier, the problem is that the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problem. A similar procedure should allow you to fix other mailboxes that might also be affected:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn’t need to have an .mbox extension.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
6. Move any strangely-named Messages-T0x... folders to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn’t work as expected. If you’ve been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
8. Open Mail.
9. The account’s Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that’s not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that’s on the Desktop.
As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated now. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you want and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards.
If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Take a look at the following article (also referenced in the thread I mentioned at the beginning of this post) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON’T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.
