My brother's emails don't appear in my Inbox

When my brother sends me an email, it does not appear in my general Inbox or in my Gmail account sub Inbox. I can view an email from him only if he calls or texts me to tell me he is sent it and I type his name in Mac Mail's search box. And viewing his emails with the search box works only if All is selected in the Search bar and if I select the Sender contains option that drops down below the Search box. He's starting to think I am purposely ignoring him because this is such an unusual problem that seems like it should have an obvious easy fix, but I haven't figured out how to fix it since it started happening more than a year ago. I took my Macbook Pro to the Genius bar tonight and the guy who helped me didn't know how to fix this, either. I am so frustrated. Can anyone help me?
If it matters, my brother sends emails to my Gmail account, which I access via Mac Mail, from his Gmail account.

If you log into the web site access, do his e-mails appear there?

Emails don´t appear in phone´s inbox (only in subf...

I run nokia messaging on e71 and synch with gmail.
Many (gmail labeled) emails don´t appear in the phone´s inbox, but I have to navigate to the subfolder "all mail" to see them.
Certainly, they appear in my gmail inbox just normally.
Also, I am not alerted if these emails arrive on my phone (as only the inbox triggers the "new message" sound and is displayed on my active desktop.
However, other emails can be found in both folders, but if I read/delete in one of the folders, it is not unread/deleted in the other. No need to say that this is really confusing.
How can I handle this behavior?
I have to comment that right now nokia mail is not really a professional push-email system that can compare to bb...

I have the problem that is other way. My inbox is getting filled but my subfolder emails are not syncing...Please let me know if u have any solution. For each folder I also checked the subscribe to folder option also.
thanks in advance

Mail + account setup properly, mail fetching starts but emails don't appear

I'm using Apple's "Mail" program for the first time (after having used Eudora for 20 years).
I successfully:
- Imported all my Eudora mailboxes + contents
- Set up my email account settings
- Connected to the Internet and sent myself a test email
HOWEVER, when I "Check Mail," and watch the "Activity" window, it seems to show my computer successfully connecting to the email server and all my pending emails being "fetched," *but when the fetching is complete, they have not appeared in my Inbox!* I don't get an error message or anything like that -- everything seems to be working exactly as it is supposed to be. The only problem is that the emails simply don't get downloaded to my computer, even though the Activity monitor seems to show them doing so.
I finally was able to open the "Mail" program's "Account info" window (it's not easy to find!), and it reveals that the same 15 pending emails are still awaiting me on my ISP's mail server, even after repeated fetchings of them. While watching both the "Account info" window and "Activity" window, I once again click "Get All New Mail," watch the 15 emails seemingly getting fetched, but when it's all over (3 seconds) -- they're still on the server and still not on my hard drive.
I don't know how to fix this glitch because the program doesn't seem to think anything's going wrong!
Obviously I must have mistakenly clicked some setting that prevents the emails from being downloaded to my computer, but I've scanned the Preferences pane and every single menu option dozens of times, and can't find what I've done wrong.
Any suggestions? i came so close to making the migration without any major problems, and on the very last step something went awry. Very frustrating!

As to "Rules":
I'd already investigated that many times. The only "Rule" was a disabled unchecked rule about "Get Apple News," a subscription to the Apple RSS feed. However, at your suggestion, I also just now deleted it, and then refetched the mail afterward, with the the exact same unchanged result -- still nothing arrives. (Tried several times.)
As for the "Junk" mail setting:
The only two boxes checked were "Enable Junk Mail filtering," and "When junk mail arrives, mark it as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox." So, even if the incoming mail had been marked as junk, I still should have seen it in my Inbox. Also, Junk's "Advanced" box is greyed out and unavailable to click. All that is moot, however, because I just now unchecked "Enable Junk Mail filtering," so the entire Junk preference pane is now greyed out and disabled; and even after that, when I check for new mail, I get the exact same problem as before, unchanged.
As to "POP" vs. "IMAP":
My account is supposed to be a "POP" account, and it is indeed shown as being a "POP" account in the Accounts preference pane.
But here's a new observation I just made:
When checking mail, in the left-hand sidebar on my "Inbox" window, at the bottom is a section called "MAIL ACTIVITY." When I check for new mail, in this activity box it says "Incoming messages, 1 of 24" then "Incoming messages 2 of 24" all the way up to "Incoming messages 24 of 24," with a blue progress bar filling up below it -- +exactly as you would expect if the mail was successfully being fetched+ (it's up to 24 messages on the server now). Yet after all that, after all 24 are shown as being fetched -- *there is still NOTHING new in my !nbox*! (Or in any other mailbox.) And in the previously mentioned "Account Info" window, afterwards all the emails are still shown as awaiting me unfetched on the server.
So mysterious and frustrating! Every setting and activity seems to be exactly as it should be, with the sole problem that nothing ever actually shows up! The answer is probably so simple, I can't see it.

Help -- Email no longer appears in Gmail inbox

As of yesterday, messages no longer appear in my Gmail inbox on my HTC Incredible 2. I can access new messages at gmail.com and using outlook on my home PC. When I send myself a message, the phone buzzes and says I have new mail, but nothing appears in the inbox. I can see sent mail (including the messages I sent to myself that do not appear in the inbox). It's a 2-week old phone and I use few apps, so I have definitely not reached memory capacity. Any suggestions?

Emails from one account don't appear in the Inbox of Mail since upgrading to Mountain Lion

I have a couple of email accounts - one is Gmail and one is a domain for my business. Previously Mail would show the Inbox and then a subfolder for each account under Inbox. Any messages received in the accounts would appear in both their own subfolder and also the Inbox. All my rules worked properly and life was good. Now, try as I might I cannot get my domain email account messages to show in the global/unified Inbox.
Originally the domain email folder was totally separate to the Inbox. By changing the IMAP Prefix (removing 'Inbox') I was able to get the folder at least under Inbox.
I purchased a new iMac and used Migration Assistant to move everything, therefore the problem persists. I had additional problems that my address book, rules and On My Mac folders didn't appear - but I solved that by finding the Containers folder and it is like a duplicate of Mail. I moved things from there to the Library/Mail and those particular issues resolved. But for the inbox issue, I have removed data from the Users/Library/Mail and from Library/Containers and started afresh - even deleted the Mail App and reinstalled from my original disc, but as soon as I set up the account it happens again.
Recently I have also started receiving errors when sending to use the Connection Doctor. I don't know if all this is related to a bug in Mountain Lion, the way I have things set up, or my domain/ISP.
Any suggestions on what to try, what it may be or ways around it would be great. I do have a Smart Mailbox for a Total Inbox, but of course the Rules don't work automatically on it. I'm getting sick of running Rules manually. Help please!!

I called the support service and she told me to delete my email address and re-enter it. I have no problem since then on receiving and sending emails.

Some emails don't appear in the folder list, I can only find them by using Search Messages

As of yesterday, new emails from one regular correspondent do not appear in the list of messages when I click on Inbox. The only way I can access them is to use "Edit/Find/Search Messages". They are still in Inbox, they haven't been moved to another folder.
Thunderbird version is 31.6.0.

None of these apply, the messages have been received, I can find them using Search Messages but they do not appear in the folder contents.

Email messages don't appear in the inbox

Hello,
This morning, I sent 2 messages from my tablet and they didn't appear in the message inbox after I sent them.
I never had this problem since I purchased my new tablet a few weeks ago and suddenly this problem decided to occur. So, I'm using my laptop to post this message here. I already checked my WiFi and it's good and receive emails all right. I checked my emal account in my laptop, and the 2 messages did get sent and appears in the Sent Inbox(in my laptop email account).
Thank you for any tips you have to offer. I'll check in my tablet later on to see if the problem got worked out.
Solved!

HT1430 Emails download to phone, but don't appear in Inbox

I noticed yesterday that my iPhone 5 would appear to download about 45 messages from my Comcast email account, but the new emails wouldn't appear in my inbox. Apple's website support suggested turning of my phone and then restarting it (didn't work) and then deleting and readding my email account (also didn't work). After that last step, it did download messages, but they were all from a month ago or older.
My internet connection is fine, my Comcast account shows all emails properly when I check there. I'm stumped!

I assume you are using a Gmail account. "Important" folder in Gmail is a relatively recent addition to Gmail. It's basically a special label that Gmail applies automatically to help you figure out which of the messages in your bulging Inbox are most deserving
of your attention. If this is the case, then you should select not have Importance Markers for Gmail.
You should first exist Outlook and login Gmail web-mail. Then select the gear, then 'Settings' and in the 'Inbox' section select to not have Importance Markers and save changes. All messages that have been previously marked with that label will continue
to display that label unless you remove it. The system label to the side of the Gmail Inbox, 'Important' will show those messages that have been assigned that label. You can hide that by selecting the gear, then 'Settings' and in the 'Labels' section,
choose not to show the Important label.
If I misunderstood you, please provide more details.

Email notifications no longer don't appear on iphone 4s - iOS 7.0.4 locked mode.

Thank you, razmee209! I must have checked everything 1,000,000 times, but when I just rechecked settings - notification - mail, I now see that Alerts -- both Show in Notification Center and Show on Lock Screen -- were turned off. Can't believe I missed that, so THANK YOU!

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

If I am sending an email to a group on iCloud, how do I make sure the addresses don't appear?

if I am sending an email to a group on iCloud, how do I make sure the addresses don't appear?

how do I make sure the addresses don't appear?
Put the addresses in the Bcc: field. (This stands for blind carbon copy.)
If you put the addresses in the TO: or CC: fields they will be visible to all the recipients.
Some email clients allow you to create a Group and use the single Group address instead of each individual address. However, you can't rely on this because some email systems break the Group into the component individual addresses during the send process. It's safer all around to put the addresses in the bcc: field in the first place (including group addresses).

When I send an email, a photo appears after my name in the sender line. How do I get rid of it?

When I send an email, a photo appears after my name in the sender line. How do I get rid of it?

I don't have a signature set up, but did a little research. Someone posted that these will show up when I send an email to myself, but will not show up when sent to another person. I sent a test email to a friend to check for sure.

IPhone glitch? IMAP email doesn't appear in inbox...

I'm trying to setup up an iPhone to receive email on mobile me, however I need it to send from another email address (a work email). I set the outgoing server to my work's server - no problem. However, when viewing the inbox for this account on the iPhone, the count on the number of emails increases when the email is received, but the email does not appear. The only way to make the email appear in the inbox is to click back out to the folder list for that account and then click inbox. Then the email is there.

I think this is my problem too - although Mobile Me works perfectly. My own email account doesn't go into the INBOX but goes into separate folders according to email address:
i.e.
on the iphone it looks like:
Inbox
Drafts
Sent
Trash
Apple Mail to do
clh@blah...
contact@blah...
Sent
etc..
which means that the iphone doesn't collect mail - I presume because it doesn't go intothe inbox - so I have to do it manually.
Any ideas? My web support people suggested changing the imap prefi from inbox to my actualy email address - but don't know where to do that! (Same problem when checking mail by imap on Mail on my Mac)
Thanks

Email names are appearing incorrectly in my mail

Email names are appearing incorrectly in my mail inbox.
The from names are incorrect or missing the full name, some from names have commas around them when others don't, some are coming through with 'test' in the subject line on my phone but if I view on my computer, 'test' is not showing..
I work in email marketing so this is extrmely important that the correct from names are displaying and certain text i.e 'test' are not showing on a live email sent to customers...

This seems to be a problem with Yahoo! that started within the past few days. I am assuming that you are accessing your Yahoo! Mail through Safari. Until a fix is issued, you have two options -- (1) use the Mail app included in iOS, logging in with your Yahoo! account information or (2) when in Yahoo! Mail in Safari, click on your profile name/pic in the bottom left corner, choose Options, and then choose the last option, which displays your e-mail using the older classic version of Yahoo! Mail. It's not as pretty or easy to manuever around, but at least it shows the images in your e-mails, which is the most important thing. Both Apple and Yahoo! have been contacted about this issue, so hopefully a fix will be released soon.
