Not all messages downloading to Apple mail

I've been having a problem the past couple of days with not all messages downloading to Mail. No rhyme or reason to it and it's just a few, but its a scary situation. I use yahoo and have it on my iphone as well which receives them fine. Any ideas as to why this might be?

Morning shawna s,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In some cases, you might need to rebuild a mailbox to update the list of messages if messages appear to be missing.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
Lion Mail: Rebuild mailboxes

Select a mailbox, and then choose Mailbox > Rebuild.
Best of luck,
Mario

Not all messages are delivered to Mail

It's so frustrating! My web-based version of my POP account receives messages that Mail doesn't. It has nothing to do with junk filters or rules; the mail just never arrives. There's no particular domain after the '@' that doesn't arrive, although I first noticed it when someone with a gmail account tried to email me. Furthermore, I sent an email with my own gmail account to my pop account in question and it never arrived in Mail! Is something corrupted in my Mail app?
I'd really appreciate your feedback on this.

Try the following.
Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file and empty the Trash.
Launch Mail and if successful, any previously downloaded messages that remain on the server will be downloaded again in addition to all messages available not yet downloaded by Mail.
If not successful and although I haven't experienced the same, it has been reported by others here that certain spam messages or legit messages than contain unusual formatted HTML sometimes "clog" the receipt of all messages available at the incoming mail server. Look for and delete all spam messages that are available at the incoming mail server for the account via webmail access.

How can I redirect all messages to 2 another mail servers?

Hi all
./imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)
libimta.so 7.3-11.01 64bit (built 19:54:45, Sep 1 2009)
I wanted to redirect all messages(in and out) to another mail server, I configured as follows,
- imta.cnf
! tcp_local
tcp_local smtp mx single_sys ....... sourcefilter file:///backother.filter
! tcp_intranet
tcp_intranet smtp mx single_sys ....... sourcefilter file:///backother.filter
- backother.filter
require ["fileinto"];
if address :all :matches ["From"]["*"]{
redirect "[email protected]";
keep;
stop;
One e-mail account receives all messgaes and those messages will be kept in sender's or receiver's mail storage.
I want , however, redirect all messages 2 or 3 mail servers.
I tried several things to do this include edit backother.filter(this is written in Sieve ), but I failed.
Is there any way to redirect messages to another mail servers?
Any way would be good , using sieve script, make antoher channel or channel keyword
Thanks

Redirecting the message means it will not be delivered to the original recipient.I know so I wrote 'keep' keyword to deliver messages to the original recipient.
capture "[email protected]";
I tested it but the capture's behavior was very weird, subject had changed to something like,'deliverd status notice', sender had changed to postmaster and additional notice messgae inserted into mail body.The default sieve capture action encapsulates the email to keep a copy of both the envelope information and the original message. MS7u3 also supports the Exchange journal encapsulation format through the addition of the ":journal" parameter.
I edited 'capture' like this..
capture :message "[email protected]";
The ":message" flag removes the encapsulation -- therefore you will have no idea of who the original sender/recipients were as the envelope information has been discarded.
It worked fine. It was same as the result of 'redirect'.
but the following line, sent10 messages to each recipients.(receive_01,receive_02)
capture :message "[email protected],[email protected]";
maybe there was some 'loop' actions happened.The email produced by the capture sieve action is being "captured" which is resulting in a loop. You can stop this by adding an envelope test e.g.
require ["envelope"];
if not envelope :is ["to"] ["[email protected]","[email protected]"]
capture :message "[email protected]";
capture :message "[email protected]";

How do I have my newest messages appear in apple mail on my iPad without...

How do I have my newest messages appear in apple mail on my iPad without having to scroll up each time

I'm not sure what you mean. My new email messages are always at the top of the preview pane at the top of the screen. However, you can quickly scroll back to the top of the screen by tapping the top of the screen above the word InBox at the top. Tap on the black part of the screen and the preview window will quickly scroll to the top.

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?

Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

BPM Monitoring: not all messages are groupped my bpm name

Could you explain me why not all messages are groupped my bpm name?
There are messages above bpm name that was sent in this bpm.
It is too diffucult to monitor messages in BPM monitoring.

Hi Denis,
Is the concerned message a synchronous message or a message that relates two integration processes? If yes, this about to be changed and will be corrected in the next SP.

TS5185 My IPAD will not send messages to non APPLE users.

Today, Christmas Day, while trying to send a message my IPAD wanted me to turn on iMessage. There was no option not to do this. After it was turned on I could no longer send messages to non Apple users. After reading online that I could set send SMS on my IPHONE I did. Now I guess it send everything as an SMS message. Now my IPAD will not send messages to non Apple users. I guess Apple wants us to pick our friends only if the use Apple products. This is about as stupid as it gets. They want us to only communicate with Apple users. The only other option is to turn the feature off. Why have iMessage in the first place.
So my situation is I can send SMS Messages on my IPHONE. I cannot send any messages to non Apple users on my IPAD and iMessages to my Apple users.
This kind of stupidity is why I switched from Windows to Apple in the first place. Don't they test anything out anymore at Apple?

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think that you might be doing something wrong.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

My iPhone 5 has lost some, but not all messages. How do I retrieve them?

My iPhone5 has lost some, but not all messages. How can I retrieve them? I did try to reset, but it did not work.

An iPhone cannot "dump" or "lose" those features.
They can be turned off in Settings > General > Restrictions or blocked by an Exchange Admin when an Exchange profile is loaded.

Apple Mail receiving not all messages?

Hello,
I have my email through Bluehost, a web hosting site. I did this so I can have a custom domain such as [email protected] Checking mail through Bluehost is horrible so I have a forward set up to gmail.
My Apple Mail has both emails set up to it. I notice sometimes I would recieve an email only to the [email protected] one or sometimes receive an email only to the gmail account. Other times they would send to both. - Shouldn't they always go to both accounts? People only know my bluhost one and even if they send an email to my bluehost one sometimes it only goes to the gmail account when i check apple mail. This is one of the reasons I didn't keep just the gmail account and kept both in Apple Mail. I'm affraid if I only keep the gmail I'm going to miss some messages I won't recieve, vise versa.
Another issue why I have both emails on Apple Mail is when I would send something at times it would show up as the gmail address which is slightly different even though I made in gmail settings to use my domain from bluehost.
My goal is to eventually just use the gmail account in apple mail but trust im not missing any potential incoming messages, and also to be able to send out messages all having my custom domain blue host address.

You will need to download a texting App from the App Store. I have seen Text + recommended on the forum.

Attachment downloading--is there a way to track percentage of big downloads in Apple Mail 5.2? (OSX Lion)

I have a satellite internet connection and have trouble with big downloads and connectivity in Apple Mail. I've discovered the Window/Activity button to track the progress of those downloads, but all it gives me is a rolling barbershop bar that never goes anywhere. Right now I'm trying to download fifteen attachments that came with a message, and some of the files (primarily pdfs) show up in their designated folders--others have not. Is there a way to track percentage on these downloads?
Also, each of the files seems to have three progress bars rather than just one.
All files are primarily 3-4MB.
Thanks,
Melissa

The inconsistent message text view and when the text for an received message is very small is caused by the sender using HTML for message composition.
Copied from Why HTML in E-Mail is a Bad Idea.
Because it introduces accessibility problems. When you write in plain text, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses. When you format email with HTML, the sender controls the formatting. But this is a trap: You only think your message will render the same way to the viewer as it appears to the sender. In reality, the receiver can end up squinting because the font looks so tiny, or vice versa. HTML is not rendered the same way from one viewing client to the next - all guarantee of accessiblity goes out the window. This is especially problematic for visually impaired persons.
The Mail.app does not include a preference setting to convert all text for received messages to RTF or Plain Text so what John provided does not apply when receiving a message that was composed in HTML.
You can do as woodie provided or with such as message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and what John provided will apply and it also applies when the sender uses RTF or Plain Text for message composition.
