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.

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 ...

My iPad 2 opens mail page but it is frozen and will not scroll

I Can open my mail page. It will not scroll

Have you tried :
- closing the Mail app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works properly when you re-open the app : double-click the home button to open the iPad's multitasking bar and on that swipe or drag the Mail app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Ical appears translucent in dock and will not show events when opened

Has anyone recently experienced iCal appearing translucent in the dock? This is weird and just recently started happening. Once iCal is launched it appears normal in the dock but goes back to translucent when I quit. Our MacBook Pro is brand new just a few weeks old and all the software is up to date. Also, even weirder, suddenly the events are not showing up in the month view when launched. I can go back to December and then move to January and then they appear. I made sure that the preferences are checked to show times and that in View "show the to do list" is selected. Whenever it has been launched the calendar is blank and will only show events after view or preferences have been manipulated. Any help would be appreciated..

kkovardfd,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Do you have any duplicate fonts? If so, make sure to resolve duplicates with Font Book.
Remove the iCal icon from the Dock, and replace it with the iCal Application located in your Applications folder.
Open System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats> and set/re-set your appropriate "Region."
After deleting the iCal plist, also delete the com.apple.Dock.plist, log out/in from your account, or restart the computer. Your Dock will revert to default appearance.

Mail will not delete any messages

I have a 10.5.6 server running my mail services. I have a 10.5.6 client checking it. I currently have over 4,000 messages in my inbox and they all get downloaded when I check my mail. If I go to the account preferences in Mail.app and tell it to delete all the messages, they are not deleted. If I go to Get Account Info in Mail.app, I can see all the messages on the server. If I try to delete any of them, they're never deleted.
Now, to get more technical. I telnet into 110 on my server and user the user/pass commands to log into the POP server. Doing a "list" shows how many messages I have and how large they are.
Let's say the last one is 4133 (which it is). I do "dele 4133" to remove the message, then another "list". It shows the message is deleted. I quit out of the pop server, log back in and the same message is there.
Seeing all this, I know the messages aren't getting deleted.
Any ideas why? I have to disable my email until I get this resolved. I currently have 170,000 messages in my client's junk folder (fun times deleting those).

Yes, it was definitely within Cyrus. The Apple interfaces are pretty and all but they didn't even get close to helping me solve this easily.
Essentially, what I did was download all the emails from the server (to make sure I didn't miss anything), rename my email folder to something different to preserve the emails in case I really did miss something, then do a recover on the mailbox.
Being a UNIX-head, here's what I did on the server:
cd /var/spool/imap/user
mv scott scott.dead
sudo /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -r user/scott
Sudo, of course, prompted me for the superuser password but everything was fixed right away after that. It is recommended to shut down the mail service from inside the Server Admin program first.

My mail account is set up correctly but will not receive or send email?

My outlook email account works fine and it has automatically synchronised the set up / account information to my iphone 4s via itunes when syncing. However I cannot receive or send emails! Anyone know of the reason for this?

Do not attempt to sync email accounts. Security features hardly ever allow this to work without any edditing. Contact your email provider to find out the settings and servers they are using for mobile devices and then remove the existing account from settings, mail contacts calendars and create a new acccount there. After the setup is finished check all the settings of the crated acccount to ensure all sections are populated with information. Especialöly it might be neccessary to fill some fields in the smtp primary ßerver settings that are rated as optional.

Hi cannot link up my e mail account i am with virgin just will not link up any ideas please?

I'm trying to add my Linux netbook to my sync account but both my windows computers will not show the "Add Device" button in any of the sync management screens

I'm trying a new Linux build on a net book that I use for playing with non windows OS. In the process of setting up the fresh OS install I wanted in get my Firefox account set up to that I didn't have to spend lots of time working on that one thing. I'm no stranger to the browser sync and have attached several of my computers and tablets with a number of different OS to the account with little trouble including the Firefox of the previous Linux build that was on the net book. The problem now is that on both of my to main computers, a windows 7 desktop and a windows 8.1 tablet, both running the latest Firefox, I am unable to find the "add device" button in any of the sync management screens. This includes the browsers built in options screen as well as the Firefox manage account page. The first gives me options for disconnecting the account, going to the manage screen, several check boxes for what can be synced, and the device name. The manage screen, after logging in, only give me options for signing out, changing password, and deleting the account. Any help figuring out why the add device button seem to be missing from both these devices would be greatly appreciated.

Please check your Firefox Installation's version. (can be found by clicking the main menu, either clicking or hovering over the help button, and then clicking about firefox in the sub menu). depending on how long ago you set up sync you may still be using the older sync version. firefox 29 introduced a new (and might i add far less tedious) sync version. see [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync|this Mozilla support article]] for information on upgrading your sync to the new version.

I recently sent a really really long iMessage and now when I open my messages app I just get a blank screen. My divide isn't frozen its just not displaying any messages and such

I sent my gf a really really really long txt msg of the emoji heart just repeating its self like 1000000 times and now the messages app doesn't work. It's not working on her phone either. Any solutions?

Hi there,
You may want to try force closing all of the open apps and the resetting the device. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

I recently changed my aol password and now I cannot get mail. When I go to settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars the accounts portion is grayed out and will not let me open. How do I fix this problem?

I recently changed my aol password and right after I changed, I cannot get mail. I get a a pop up block that says, Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for AOL is incorrect, settings, OK. I go to settings as suggested but the account area is grayed out and will not let me open. Need help on how to fix this problem. I tried sync with my PC and that did not help either.

It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.
I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

Check /var/log/mailaccess.log and post some more info for a process number (number in square brackets)

For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any choice. Any ideas?

You can setup Mail for iCloud on the eMac.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password

My mail account appears to be frozen. It will not show any messages or let me go to my inbox
