No longer get incoming mail indicator

Used to be that when mail was being brought in that there would be a spinning wheel on the inbox bar of Mail. I am able to retrieve mail and get the message number and audible signal but no incoming indicator.

That little indicator only shows as long as Mail is still working. If it finishes for a particular account very quickly, it may not even show the indicator, or it might only show it for a fraction of a second. Are you on a faster connection now than you used to be?

How do I get incoming mail in one of my mailboxes unstuck. It will not download any mail in one box but the other mailbox works fine

How do I get incoming mail in one of my mailboxes unstuck?? It is trying to download it but seems jammed. The other mailbox is working fine. I know there is mail there because it is coming into my bb. This just started this morning. I took someone's suggestion and duplicated my mail from the library and I then put com.apple.mail.plist on my desktop. I was unable to delete the incoming mail from the mailbox however so don't know what to do.
Help?

Try this: If this is Apple Mail, select the Mailbox, then from the Mail Menu>Mailbox>Rebuild.

Hello, Rileys128.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to receive mail on your iPad. Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue with your AOL account. I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Since upgrading to Maverick I have trouble getting incoming mail?

Ever since I upgraded to Maverick my mail has not worked consistently. It has been 2 days since I've been able to get any incoming Mail. It seems to deliver when it wants and it's on strike now. Thank goodness my iphone email works. I've been to the genius bar w/o resolution (they thought it was due to gmail account which we deleted and not eliminate the problem). I can send but can't receive. It is a POP email acount. I've read other posts - shutting down the computer does not help. Any suggestions? I am fully updated. I have a iMac intel, OS X 10.9.3. Mail 7.3. Thanks!!

Hi,
Thank you for taking an interest in my problem.
What actually transpired was my Macpro (contacts) would not update after I put changes in to contacts in either iphone or ipad. Apple checked and discovered that changes made in either macPro (contacts) and contacts(cloud.com) did not talk to each other so concentrated on this.
The rep had me signout of my macpro user account, and create a temp new user to which I signed into my icloud account as normal. Then, changes in either macpro or cloud.com now worked. He then did some changes at his end and after exiting the temp user and resigning in as origal macpro user this now made changes to each other. OK. We then deleted the temp user and this worked! but since then I have discovered that iphone and ipad now do not change icloud.com contacts or calendar so would not of course change contacts on macpro!
Other services on icloud (photo stream, mail, docs and data, find my ----, etc) all function with my iphone (so have to presume my ipad also, but this is not with me at this time) so the problem is confined to just contacts and calendar.
In summary, I do have only one icloud address but which appears to have two sets of data as the devices will communicate with something but not altogether!!
I am thoroughly confused, especially as it was all fine until I upgraded from M\Lion to Mavericks on my shiny new macpro a few weeks ago. I had moved from Windows to Apple to avoid just such problems.
Not enamoured with Apple at the moment, but thank you for your assistance - hope this is a better explanation.
Kind Regards

Can't get INcoming Mail; Outgoing no problem; Connection A-OK

Since 9:30 this morning, my MacMail is suddenly not pulling incoming e-mail from the mail server I use. I have sent out test e-mails - no problem. They all go and get delivered where they're supposed to. Likewise, I ran the Connectivity Doctor in Mail, and it says I'm connected with no problems. When I check the mail server itself through Safari, my incoming mail is all sitting there waiting to be downloaded.
No mailboxes are greyed out: they all say they're online
I took them all offline and put them back online again; no change
I did run a software update this morning, but I'm not sure exactly what it was running - there was an iTunes update that I wanted. But the software update coincided with the incoming mail problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Have had same problem for a good few weeks. My internet service provider reckons it's the Mail package. No problem surfing so not the modem. I can download e-mails to my phone hours before they reach my Mac. I wonder if the computer ignores priorities in network preferences and goes for Ethernet before Airport; when it fails it gives up. Don't know what to do about it though. If anyone from Apple has an answer now's the time to impress the newly returned Mr. Jobs. Otherwise I'm gonna tell...

Mail server no longer accepting incoming mail

First off, let me just say that yes, I broke it. This is on an iMac G4 with Server 10.4.11.
So here's the problem. I am by no means a qualified Server Administrator, but since I am a relatively knowledgeable computer geek, my boss plugged me into this position while my department is slow. I've been tasked with figuring out a few nagging problems with slow mail delivery, among other things.
I did some serious Googling on the issue of slow mail delivery, messages getting stuck in queue, etc. I determined that the issue was with spam filtering and anti-virus. Following some great documentation from osx.topicdesk.com, I updated and configured clamav, amavisd, and spamassassin. Miraculously, this actually solved the problem, and everything was working great.
Until today. Today I noticed a log entry that reverse DNS lookup of the server's IP (192.168.1.1) had failed. Googled again and found some info on setting up DNS on the server, which I did.
There was a secondary goal for doing this. We are a small company that hosts our own email and a tiny web server on a machine at our corporate office. Our remote locations have always been able to get email from the server via POP3 using the FQDN mailman.mycompany.com, which has a public IP address. Our router is configured to forward traffic to that IP to the private IP 192.168.1.1. However, all users at the corporate office had to be set up to use server IP 192.168.1.1 to get their mail because there was no way to resolve the FQDN into an IP that was visible on the private network. Or maybe there was/is, but I don't know about it. Anyway, we have a couple mobile users that work at multiple locations. They are set up to use the server's FQDN, but every time they come to our corporate office, they'd have to change their mail setup if they wanted to get mail, because once they're behind the router, the FQDN doesn't work. I think that makes sense.
The Server is also the DHCP server for this site. Prior to this morning, it was distributing our ISP's DNS IPs. Once I'd set up DNS on our Server, I changed it to distribute its own IP as the primary DNS server, and per someone's post, I modified named.conf to include our ISP's DNS IPs. The server name I set up is 'server' and the domain is 'mycompany.com'. I also set up an alias of 'mailman' and set it as a mail server. I then went to a couple of workstations in the building and did a Lookup on server.mycompany.com and mailman.mycompany.com, both of which returned an IP of 192.168.1.1. I did a lookup on the IP and it resolved back into server.mycompany.com.
Figuring I'd accomplished enough for the first half of the day, I went to lunch. When I got back, I was bombarded with complaints that mails were being bounced when sent from inside the building, and a few people had received phone calls that mails sent to them had been bounced back to their senders. The error given is:
554 554 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied (state 14).
(This came from Google. The wording varies from person to person but it's always SMTP 554, relay access denied.)
In a panic, I un-did everything I'd done this morning, turning off DNS server, telling DHCP server to begin distributing our ISP's DNS IPs again, but I'm still having the same problem. I didn't see how this could be the cause, but did it just as a precaution.
I doubt I've provided enough information, but does anyone have any initial guesses as to what's going on here?
ARM

Thanks for the quick, easy fix. I'm curious if you know what I might have done to cause this to happen. I don't recall changing any Mail settings.
Sometimes Server Admin "forgets" settings.
Also, apparently something I did wiped out our IMAP mail store. I had a backup thankfully but wondering how I might have done that?!
Wiped out at the file level as in no contents in /var/spool/imap/user?

TS4069 all of a sudden i can't get incoming mail. I can send just fine. I deleted my account and then reintalled it; now it only shows emails going back one month and still not receiving new ones.

I cannot receive incoming mail all of a sudden on my I-Pone 4. I deleted my comcast account and then set it up again as suggested. Now it only loaded messages beginning one month ago; and still not receiving any new. Any ideas?

There are only two things that I can suggest.
The first is to try the Mail Setup Assistant.
The other is giving Mozilla's Thunderbird a shot - setup the account and see if it will work with this free email app. I don't like Mail at all - and it gives some people fits around here (I don't know how many times people have posted about problems with outgoing servers using Mail).
Try both methods - I don't use Mail - I use MS's Outlook (and, before that, Entourage). If the Setup Assistant offers no relief, just try Thunderbird and see if it works with it.
Good luck,
Clinton

I'm not getting incoming mail

my mail application is no longer sending mail into my inbox. I can send an email out. What can I do to fix this? I am an aol user and have a macbook pro

Mail.app is not supposed to send mail to your inbox. It is supposed to send mail to your recipient's inbox. If you add your own address to the message's recipients, then you should also get a copy -- but why should you need to do that?

How do I get incoming mail messages to display in plain text?

Recently some incoming messages are virtually unreadable because they are in rich text format and render with incredibly small font size. They are mostly coming from work colleagues using Windows. Recently I upgraded yo Yosemite and they were upgraded to Windows 7: im not sure if either is relevant.
I'm sure there's a trick somewhere to increase the viewing font size after the message displays, but I'd rather it displayed legibly in the first place...
Any ideas?

If I take the above preferences and change them from Arial 14 to Arial 144 I can get the body in about half of my current messages to display in 144 pt font.
It varies by mail client of sender and to which mail box it goes to on my Mac. Haven't found a commonality yet.
Someone here will have a brilliant answer, however.
