Not all mails from IMAP account downloaded to Mail

I use an IMAP email account from GMX together with Apple Mail.
After some investigation I noticed, that there is a different number of mails on the server and locally on my Mac.
The Mac has much less mails.
Digging deaper it appears, that there are duplicates on the server which are not synced - hopefully only duplicates.
How did a realize that?
1. number of mails shown in Apple Mail's Account Information is identical to the server information.
2. Selecting all folders and all mails shows a significant difference
Anybody experiencing the same behaviour?
How do I get the missing mails transfered to my Mac?
Thanks a lot in advance.
PS: OS X 10.8.2 with Mail 6.2

I've run across this problem as well. I'm using a non GoDaddy IMAP account and under 10.8.2 some messages aren't appearing on the computer. They show correctly on the server and two different pre 10.8 computers.
What's odd is that if you select (cmd+a) all the messages and then go to View--≥Display Selected Messages Only, the number of messages and missing ones show up correctly.
I've duplicated this problem on two different 10.8.2 computer installations. Creating a fresh user account and adding the account results in the same behavior. Any ideas? I may try doing a fresh install from 10.8.0 and seeing if that resolves the problem.

Multiple email accounts but they are all sending from same account.

Set up with multiple email accounts but they are all sending from same account. I have checked account preferences and under composing they are to come from account of selected mailbox but this is not happening! Suggestions?

They are all in the same folder and it says all images are there, but it is only showing 1 card's images at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
This is kind of confusing, on the one hand you say "it says all images are there" and then you directly contradict this by saying "it is only showing 1 card's images at a time".
Could you explain in a lot more detail what you see (and don't say "it", say exactly what part of Lightroom or what part of your operating system you are looking at), or show us a screen capture?

I want to authorizes all computers from my account

I want to authorizes all computers from my account

I quote from the document I linked to above:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

The send button is greyed out when I try to text some but not all people from my iPod touch. Any ideas how I can fix this?

The send buttin is greyed out when I try to text some but not all people from my iPod Touch. This happens even when they have iPhone 4s. Any ideas why and how I can fix this?

This issue can be caused by the McAfee SiteAdvisor extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Ipad 2 not auto receiving mail from IMAP account

Hi, I have an iPad 1 & 2 and an iPhone 3Gs.
I have may email accounts with different servers, Apple, Yahoo, Google & 1&1.
All auto receive mail via push, except for the 1&1 acc on the iPad2.
Checked & double checked settings are same as on iPhone & iPad 1 which both receive mail from that account without issues.
The only way I can get to see new mail from the 1&1 acc on it is to open the mail app and sit back for it to come in!
What could I possibly be doing wrong? Is anyone else having the same issue?

I am. I have a G5 and an iPad. I can get my mail from the G5, or by logging onto the server via Internet, but my mail app tells me it can't connect to the server. I've tried all the fixes on the other, similar threads... Set both fetch to manual, hard restart, reconfigure, etc. I can get it to work once after hard reboot.

Messages from POP account not showing up in IMAP account folders

I've posted on this already, but I'm a little clearer about what the issue is, so I'm gonna try again.
I'm using Mac Mail. Recently my ISP assigned me an IMAP account. [Customer service says "we only use POP," but I can't get a POP account.] Messages in my mailboxes show up fine. I'm having difficulty with the mailboxes directly associated with the account---Inbox, Sent, Draft, etc.
I have only one Inbox. There are three Sent folders---the one that is always at the top of the sidebar, and two in an IMAP-specific set of folders. I coped the older messages from the POP account into what I thought were the corresponding folders of the IMAP account. Copied messages appear only in one of the IMAP Sent folders. However, when opened, they have no content. In some cases there is an indication that the content is "loading" but nothing ever appears.
Is it possible to get the older messages from the POP to show up with content in the IMAP folders? I gather from reading related threads from the archive that copying messages between account types should not be a problem, but it is for me.
Thanks,

Well, I thought I found a solution in the archives here: Import the old messages from within Mail. Had no doubt that would work. Well, it didn't. Though all the old messages were Apple Mail messages, when I tried to import Mail said, "No valid Apple Mail files were found." Tried importing them as mbox files. Same result.
IMAP has advantages for people who check mail from more than one device, or for multiple users of an account. Not having been forwarned by AT&T that I was going to be switched from POP to IMAP, it has been a big headache for me. And it clutters up the sidebar with a changing collection of folders, including many that seem redundant, and some whose purpose I can't, in my ignorance, imagine.
Supposed to get a call today or tomorrow from a unit in AT&T that is "specially trained" to handle problems like mine. We'll see.
I sure would like to get help from somewhere.

IPhone cannot download messages from IMAP account.

I have a weird problem with one of my IMAP mail accounts. Everything works fine in Mail on my Mac but on iPhone I cannot see any messages from that account. It's showing how much message I have, but cannot download any of them... I can see all IMAP folders, can send new messages, but I cannot see nothing Does anybody have same problem?

I have expeirenced a couple of problems in setting up my email accounts.
One thing that seems to work, when an email account freezes on my iphone, is to turn on teh iphone (hold and keep down the button at right hand top) and then slide to confirm on screen.
Than when you switch back on it frees up the email account and works fine.
Dont ask me why, but this was also advice from apple and also hotmail help.

How to download all emails from IMAP servers to a single inbox in local folders

I would like to have all incoming emails from my account(s) at IMAP server(s) (not POP) to be always downloaded to a single INBOX in my Local folders (all emails to be stored on my computer permanently); Thunderbird 31.5.0. Thanks, Peter.

1. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/send-filter/?src=search
2. you will need a separate filter for each destinations folder. It is also better to use email address contains that email address. Less precise.
3. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/attachmentextractor/?src=search but it appears it is buggy.

Messages suddenly not showing from IMAP account

I have a number of mail accounts that I access through Mail. Suddenly one - an IMAP account to an Exchange server - stopped showing any messages. Everything seems fine on the web and phone access to the server; there are messages in the Users>Library>Mail folders and Time Mchine continues to show messages even after Mail stopped displaying them. I can send messages from the account and they show in Send. I've checked Mail preferences, but can't see anything wrong. It just seems as if something needs switching on to display things.
Help appreciated.

Sent messages from IMAP accounts are not being saved

I have three IMAP accounts setup on MAIL but none of them save sent mail - preferences are set correctly ......

Who is the provider of this account? Where do server-stored mailboxes appear in Mail? Do they appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox maybe?
If server-stored mailboxes appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox in Mail, this account requires INBOX to be typed in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix for Mail to manage and display its mailboxes properly. After having done that, Mail should be able to save messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail and choose the appropriate option from Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For.

How do I delete downloaded emails stored in my profile from IMAP accounts that are closed?

Can I just delete the imap.googlemail-x.com directory and the associated msf file? I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mavericks and Thunderbird 31. Thanks for any insights.

No, all the mail in the imap.googlemail-x.com directories has been transferred to a new IMAP account, and a separate imap-googlemail-x.com directory exists for that account.
So I can just delete the directories in the profile, having closed Thunderbird? And the msf file??
I apologize for double-posting the thread. I'm new at this, and when I looked at my questions, it looked like the first one had been truncated, so I posted again. Won't do that the next time!

Mail can not be sent from pop account

The mail can not be sent from my mail configured on my iMac. Please help.

While in mail, if you click Window then Connection Doctor, do any of the connections have a red dot next to them? The message should tell you what's wrong and if you click on it, it should take you to where you can fix it.

HT4864 can I use the icloud smtp server as the outgoing server for all my other imap accounts?

I have several imap accounts. I want to send all my messages using the icloud server. I put the icloud server as the smtp server for each account but mail is not able to send the messages. The configuration is correct for the smtp iclous server, I checked.
Is there anything I'm missing?
Fausto

The only thing you're missing is that you can't do that. You have to use the correct smtp server for the mail accounts. Email providers generally don't like sending some other company's mail. If you want to send from the icloud servers, use your icloud account when composing.

Nothing happening when trying to forward email from IMAP account

My boss has just reported to me that when he tries to forward an email from his IMAP account on his iPhone 3GS. I asked him to show me and can confirm that nothing happens at all. It doesn't appear to do anything.
This was all working fine at the weekend, but stopped working on Monday for no apparent reason.
Have there been any auto updates sent to iPhone users that could have caused this?

Have problem on ANY site I wish to contact business using their email contact window. The other is my web mail host, when forwarding an email in my in-box. I delete all tracking cookies from computer prior to closing down. Problem is in Mozilla program, problem started after downloading new Firefox upgrade program. Host web site told me other Firefox users having same problem.

Can not send email from corporate account when out of office

I have a 3G+wifi ipad, my sending via corp email works when I'm in the office (connected via wifi) but doesn't send when I'm on 3G and other wifi network (my home wifi). When I send from the other locations I can send from yahoo account only. I have tried to change the server port a couple of times but still no luck. Anyone has any idea how solve this problem?

I am still having some of the problems the guy who can't get corporate emails has.
You have already read my thread. Yesterday was a good day, I got every single email I received on my iPhone and main Mac computer on my iPad.
I powered the Pad down last night, turned it on this morning and only got 2 of the 4 I was sent during the night, 2 of them being from my US HO but yesterday I got emails from my US HO on my iPad early in the evening.
I have learnt that ntl world emails cannot be received with 'Push' so that cancels out that being anything to do with it.
There is only one difference in my settings so don't know if this is making any difference:-
On my iPad the smtp authentication is MD5 Challenge-Response.
On my iPhone the authentication is Password, I have tried changing it but it won't let me. Can't think that this is the problem as this is on the Outgoing Server of which I have no problems.
Another odd thing is that when I got my iPhone last year I synched the account settings through iTunes. I did this 3 weeks ago when I got my iPad. I then unselected synching the accounts in iTunes when the Pad was connected as I wanted to set them up manually. Now I cannot access this part of iTunes for the phone or pad, it's ticked but greyed out and doesn't show any of my 4 accounts.
One of the main reasons I bought a Pad is to do emails on it as I find the iPhone a little small to use all day. I am gutted that the Pad is not getting all mails and can't trust it.
Could it be that when I power down it affects the settings as that's the only thing different I did yesterday. I will keep the pad on all day and night but this should not be the problem can it? Don;t want to waste power having it on all evening.
