Mail won't download messages after checking with Mail2web webmail

Yesterday I spent the day on a wi-fi network that blocked POP mail, so I checked my email many times with the www.mail2web.com web mail site. Now that I am home, Apple Mail 5.3 will not download any of the 85 messages left on the server yesterday. It gets halfway through the "incoming messages" progress bar and then hangs. I have shut it down and re-opened it several times but it always hangs when it gets to those messages.
Is there anyway to overcome this?
Thank you.

Had the same issue in that suddenly (Mail 10.3.9) would not download my messages from my primary identity (account) through my cable modem with Comcast/Time Warner (no router).
I did the below process mentioned in this thread, then closed Mail and rebooted cold. No change. :-((
Still no email download from my primary identity. Panic set in. Sleep on it. Pray to Woz.
Next day. Perfect! Can anyone explain this?

Something to try.
Quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home >
Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named
by the user name and incoming mail server for the
account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file and
empty the Trash.
Launch Mail and a new MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded
file will be created automatically within the account
named folder and if successful, any previously
downloaded messages that remain on the server will be
downloaded again along with any new messages
available on the server not yet downloaded.
Solution worked for me.

Mail won't download messages with large attachments

Mac OS 10.7.5
Apple Mail 5.3 (1283)
When someone sends an email to me with an attachment of around 4 or 5 MB or larger (I haven’t quite figured out the size limit…it seems to vary a bit), Mail stops downloading all mail. I have to go into my webmail, remove the message with the attachment, and then all of a sudden Apple Mail will resume downloading e-mails from the server. Other computers in our office do not exhibit this behaviour, although they are using identical network, mail server (at Siteground, not managed by us), version of Mail, version of OS, etc.
When Mail exhibits this, I can ‘Get Info’ the account and I can see all the messages marked as from ‘Unknown sender’ and the e-mail sizes.
How do I resolve this?

Try AttachedIn to send large attachments!
Very quick, easy to use and secured!

Mail won't download messages

There is a thread similar to this on the Tiger mail forum -as of this afternoon (18th) mail suddenly will not download new messages. I know not why but need a fix ASAP! When I click on 'Get Mail' it seems to connect to the server and starts to fetch the first of however many new messages have accumulated (an ever growing number) but then stops after about a minute and no new messages. When looking at the console.log it says that the connection with the incoming server 'timed out'. Seems to be a mail issue, at least so says my ISP (Web.com -formerly interland). Also seems to be happening to some people on the Tiger forum who have reached a similar conclusion -but no fix as far as I can see.
My incoming account is a POP -nothing special about it.
Any help greatly appreciated.
TIA

Iphoto can't be opened now after downloading updates. Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

Can someone help me figure out how to get my iphoto open again. It says...Error message: "Iphoto can't be open because of a problem. " Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

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

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 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.

Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts but the messages are in the server.

Hello, I'm having this problem. Mail is not downloading messages from two accounts. I don't know why but there're two accounts working so bad. If I click with the right button on the account and click to see the account details, I can see the messages on the server but not in inbox. I made a sync with this account and my iphone and then the iphone downlad the messages with out problems. Not my imac at work or my imac at home... what can be wrong?
Thanks.

For Gmail, this is normal, there is nothing you can do about it -- just type Mail AND Gmail in the search box to see threads discussing how Gmail works.
As for the other accounts, this shouldn't happen. I wonder if what you're seeing is just that Mail is ignoring this setting for mail that was already on the server when you started using it. I've seen something like this happen when playing with that setting, e.g. changing it from "After one day" to "After one week". Mail would just ignore messages that fell in the timeframe where the two settings could interfere and I didn't notice it until some time later, when Mail "forgot" those messages had already been downloaded and, being faced with them again, dutifully downloaded them as if they were all new.
I believe that, if you leave the setting however you wish and stop playing with it, then Mail shall correctly process any mail that arrives from now on. In order to manually delete old messages that Mail seems to be ignoring, you can invoke the Account Info window (this is probably what you meant when you said "I can delete messages individually"; if that's not the case and want more info on this, just ask).

Mozilla Thunderbird hangs all the time, won't download messages, won't save messages,

Hi,
I have been running Mozilla Thunderbird since the beginning of the year.
I have always had problems, but it seems to be getting worse.
It won't download messages, it won't save messages at the time you send them, instead a window runs for ages saying:
"Copying messages to saved folder"
Then it says
"There was an error saving the message to sent, retry?"
You hit cancel and then it comes up with:
"The message was sent successfully, but could not be copied to your Sent folder. Would you like to return to the compose window?"
Then there is the problem of downloading messages, basically it doesn't all the time, it hangs and I have to either restart the computer or download them on my iphone.
It can take upwards of 20 minutes to download a single message.
I had a look at the "Activity Manager" and it seems frozen as well.
It also sends up the messages that the server has been disconnected or timed out.
I've had a look through the trouble shooting guide but can't seem to progress this.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
I am running the latest version, and have Windows 7, 64 bit.
I am fast of the opinion I'd better shell out some cash and get Windows Outlook as Thunderfox is a nightmare.
Many thanks,
Adrian

Hello I'm trying to create Apple ID without success for a long time.

If you choose US as your country while your bank details and credit card or PayPal account are from another country, then you will get an error not related to your details, such as 'the CVV number is incorrect', although it is correct.

My mail won't download up date etc its saying I need to check the settings have done so not sure what to do or what is wrong

My mail won't upload, update its tilling me to chick the settings witch I have done. I don't know what too do to fix this problem I know I have new mail as its coming up on my phone and if I open mail on other computers. But for some reson in the last few weeks it won't retrieve new mail on iPad

First thing to do is to try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

Mail won't show messages from my .Mac account

I have set up 5 accounts in Mail. Two of these accounts are .Mac mail accounts and the other 3 are verizon accounts. When I receive an email in any account, the Mail icon bounces on my desktop and makes its alert sound. I can check the 5 inboxes and retrieve messages from the verizon accounts, but not the .Mac accounts. The .Mac inboxes will tell me how many messages I have in those accounts, but I cannot read them in Mail. I have to do go Mac.com to read these messages! The Mac accounts are enabled. All of the accounts were set up before the new Mail came out and Mail worked fine until then, but I have not been able to read my messages in Mail from the .Mac accounts since the new version of Mail. Is this a common problem and is there something I can do to fix my inability to read these messages in Mail?

Let’s check whether the rules could have a bearing on this:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.x, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
4. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
5. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
6. Go online again if you went offline in step 4.
If the problem persists after doing this, then you know the rules have no bearing on it, and you may move the files on the Desktop back to the ~/Library/Mail/ folder, overwriting any files Mail may have created anew there (quit Mail first).
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.

Hotmail keeps downloading message after reset

Ive had to reset my iphone for a few reasons and since the reset hotmail keeps downloading messages that Ive already read. I have over 3000 messages in my hotmail account....is there a way to stop it from downloading messages I have already read...
thanks...

Hotmail uses POP. Pop is a very old protocol that has limitations.
When you download a message, the mail app actually has to sort of save off to a file index information that it has downloaded the message so it won't again since there really isn't syncing like there is in the IMAP or Exchange protocol.
Thus when you reset, the phone has no idea you got the message before so it will download again. This would happen on your computer to if you were checking a POP account with some type of mail app.
Since Hotmail doesn't allow IMAP and you are stuck with POP there isn't much you can do other than clean up your hotmail inbox on the server.
