No emails in mail.app

Hello,
mail.app act weird since a few weeks. It doesnt show the emails for one particular account I have.
Everything syncs, it shows the new mails I receive, but when I click on the mailbox, its empty.
At some point, when I restarted the computer, it became fine, but its like this (look  at the attached pic)
all the time.
On the outlook website and on my iphone, everything works perfectly. So it's mail.app issue.

Glad I could help.
If you ever run into similar issues (many months or years from now), a rebuild may help.  But you shouldn't need to do it any time soon.
Enjoy your Mac and Mountain Lion.

  • Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

    I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

    It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
    In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
    Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
    Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
    The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

  • A problem to sync emails in Mail app between iMac and Macbook Air

    Hello members,
    I have had a problem that can't sync emails in Mail app(OSX Mavericks) betwee iMac and Macbook Air. I have iCloud mail account and several Gmail accounts on the mail app.
    Is there anyone to help me?

    When both are at home on the same network and sharing drives, you can use a variety of tools.  Check the App store for fily syncronization.  Also, OS X includes rsync if you are a UNIX command line person, and there are shareware GUI's for rsync as well (RsyncX was one I remember).  Then there are commercial tools like Chronosync.
    Another, albeit to my mind cumbersome way, is to use an airport time capsule and time machine.  You use TM to backup each machine, and use the option in TM to browse another TM backup to restore from (eg. come home from a trip, backup the MacBook Air, then log on to the iMac, browse to the MBA backup volume and restore what you recently worked on from there).
    Or get a NAS device for home and use that as a common personal form of dropbox.  The key would be keeping a neat uniform directory structure for the things you need sync'd - like maybe just the Documents folder & subfolders.

  • Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ?

    Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ? Any explanation ? Select a good format,that's a good explanation,but i can't know each time if our recipients use "Outlook Express".

    There are no completely bug free email clients including the Mail.app and Outlook has its share of bugs for such an old/mature email clients and some glaring ones that MS has been aware of for a long time but has chosen not to do anything about since these do not affect exchanging email with other Outlook users.
    Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and the degree depending on the Windows and Outlook versions used by the recipient.

  • HT5361 Is there a way to find and erase duplicate emails in mail.app?

    Is there a way to find and erase duplicate emails in mail.app?

    Mail.app does not have this possiblility acc. to Apple. There are Scripts but not provided by Apple.
    A solution can be to use third party software but I prefer Apples own software so have to wait until there is an update.

  • Cannot send email with Mail app-..can't connect to AOL server anymore??

    Up until today my MAIL app in my iMac let me use an email address that is from the AOL.com group (netscape.net)…I cannot send emails now because I can't get the computer to connect to the server. My iPad will….but not the desktop. I tried using a different server name; smtp.nestcape.net, which is the one I used in the iPad…but the iMac won't let me change it to that one..so back to the old smtp.aol.com……Still my MAIL app is not recognizing this or letting me connect!?!. I tried creating a new password at the wedpage of that email account.. successfully..but it has made no difference. I am stumped and have wasted half the day trying to deal with this. Anyone else have such an experience? HELP…PLEASE!

    Thank you Eric for sending the links. Fortunately after I wrote this post…I don't know what happened but I filled in my mail preference settings for the umteenth time with my new email password and voila! It worked. For some reason however…now when I open the Mail App I do still get a prompt asking me if I want to use this server….and it is, of course, the one and only I have listed.!?!?! The thing that irritates me…is…that I had done NOTHING to cause a problem to begin with. I think my email account at aol (nestcape) may have been hacked and my password stolen or compromised in some way??...and perhaps that caused a glitch in my mail app??? I am no techy, but I should have started out with my intuition and changed the password first before going mental….When something like this happens it makes one feel so vulnerable.…I usually feel well secured with my lone iMac and now my new iPad…ANYWAY…thank tyou  for addressing my issue and I have bookmarked those links…for future reference which I hope I never need. Hey..is that your kitty??? She is beeeooootiful!
    Take care and again, thanx~ D

  • Mail Security certificate issue and cannot send email from mail app on surface 2

    well im have the same issue like others and coincidently we all started to have this issue just recently like few days ago. Please help us out as on the surface 2 mail app my Hotmail account ( The main account )
    cannot send mails and on the account setting it says there is a problem with the server security certificate. So how to fix it ???

    Does this issue only happen with Hotmail account? Have you tested the account in other mail programs or send a email via web mail in a browser? What is the result if we delete the account then recreate the account?

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can't delete/move emails using Mail app

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and having problems with my Mail application.
    The long and short of it is that I cannot delete or move emails from my Inbox.  When I select an email in the preview panel and delete it, it disappears, but when I select the Trash folder, it isn't in there.  And when I go back to my Inbox, lo and behold, it is back there again, as if I had never deleted it.  The same holds true when I try to move an email from my Inbox to one of my iCloud folders.
    Emails come in to my Inbox just fine.
    And I am able to move emails from one iCloud folder to another, however.
    And I do not have this problem when I access my email via Iphone, ipad or icloud.com.  In fact, when I delete an email from my iphone, it gets deleted from my Inbox on my Mail app.
    I looked in Mail Preferences, and I have one Account set up:   iCloud IMAP.   Is that right?  I use me.com for my email.
    Any ideas here?

    This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • How do I delete emails in Mail App that are no longer on the server?

    HI,
    I have configured the Mail App on my brand new iPad to receive emails from my provider GMX.net. It is a POP3 account. The emails stay on the server until I fetch them with Outlook 2003 on my PC. After retrieving emails with Outlook they are deleted from the server. That is what I want. But the emails stay in the Mail App on my iPad. I also can’t delete emails with the iPad on the server.
    How can I do that?

    If you are accessing emails from multiple devices, you are better off using the IMAP protocol. Then the devices sync with the server and they are all looking at the same information. With POP, you are going to get your emails spread about, some on Outlook, some on the iPad. It could get very confusing.
    By default, the iPad will not delete from a POP server. Instructions for changing this are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228

  • How can I delete all email in mail app?

    Now I have 10,000 mails in mail app that I want to delete.  I try to use this method "Edit, Mark all as read, Edit, select first message, hold down Move, deselect message, unpress Move" but no luck.  All mail will return to inbox after a second. 
    PS: now I use iphone 5s and ios7.0.6

    There is no way to delete all emails in the inbox in one step.

  • Gmail causing issues with other email using mail app

    I use the standard mail app for 3 hotmail accounts (with my own domain name) & a work exchange account (which I turn on and off as required). These work well on iPhone 4 & iPad3 using IOS5.1. 
    However, on adding a gmail account to the mail program I stop receiving all email on the hotmail accounts. As soon as I delete gmail on a device, that device I starts receiving hotmail emails.
    The solution for me was to delete the gmail account as I only set it up for analytics & don't need the mail. Although this issue would stop me switching to gmail full time.
    Has anyone else encountered this error & found a solution? 

    No, you can’t. Gmail doesn’t let mail to be downloaded twice by either the same or different POP mail clients.
    I believe .Mac actually handles something like this but I do not have it.
    Any IMAP account would allow you to do this. Actually, almost any POP account other than Gmail would also at least let you download the same mail on both computers. It’s just Gmail that doesn’t.

  • How to permanently delete email in mail app?

    Hi! I am using a 2011 macbook pro and it has been running extremely slow lately. When I started looking into things, it seems that my mail app is saving every email I have ever received, even though I have spent hours deleting them. It seems that they are not being permanently deleted.. I always highlight the message (or several) in the mail app and then click the trashcan. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!

  • Infrequent missing emails in Mail App

    I am having one to two emails a day not show up in my Mail App on my iMac running Mavericks. This is a gmail address and these emails in question are there if I go to my google account and login. I even see them on my Android phone with a Gmail account. I am getting on average 10-15 emails sent to this Gmail address daily that come through perfectly, just not getting them all. I ideas what could be wrong?

    I was having the same issue with my gmail account.  I was scouring around last night trying to find an answer and I saw a suggestion to disable the account in mail, quit mail, restart it and enable the account again.  Since then all my emails are coming in regularly again.  Not sure if it will work for you but it's worth a try.  I hope this helps.  I'm runing mail version 7.1 and I have updated maverics to 10.9.1.
    To enable/disable the accounts you need to do the following in mail.
    Go to Preferences -> Accounts Tab -> uncheck the box that says "Enable this account"
