Not receiving all e-mail

I'm not sure what to do here. About 80% of the time my e-mail works on both my 8GB iPhone and 17" MacBook Pro both...and about the other 20% of the time i will receive the mail at either or, but not both...or sometimes not at all anywhere.
I have checked my settings everywhere, both on the computer, and on iPhone to make sure that i didn't have the e-mail settings set to delete e-mail from he the server right away....it was in fact set to keep the e-mail on the server on both iPhone and my MacBook...
So i'm confused as to why i am only receiving a portion of my e-mail in both spots, sometimes not receive it at all, or only receive it in one spot.
This is very frustrating. I have done numerous restores on the iPhone, and a clean install from a Time Machine backup on multiple occasions on my MacBook.
Also, i often times get intermittent connection issues when i plug in my iPhone to my computer....it often times recognizes it, begins to sync....then dis-connects, re-connects, dis-connects...etc...without being able to complete the sync.
Also there was 1 day that i couldn't get my computer to recognize my iPhone at all....neither one of the 3 USB ports would recognize it....i had done a restore previously, but even if i wanted to do it again for this particular instance...i couldn't get the iPhone to make that connection..
But i haven't experienced the "no connection" issue since, only periodic disconnects and reconnects...
My computer was in fairly recently to get the temperature sensors replaced because my computer was getting too hot...it still gets hot.
When i called Apple just the other day to complain about the intermittent connections, they said that it could be the Logic Board if the USB ports aren't recognizing it...because i also got a new USB cable swapped out along with a new Dock & AC adapter recently before that...so it's not the cables, and the iPhone has been replaced numerous times before for basically the same connection issues.
So being that the iPhone has been replaced, the USB cable has been replaced, and i have determined that it is not a software glitch by doing a full restore and clean install on my computer...it's leading me to believe that it is a hardware issue - and the only thing that hasn't been replaced is the computer.
Has anybody else been experiencing weird connection issues with iTunes, or e-mail problems on either their computer or iPhone? Thanks for the help!!

Likely the issue is that on laptop you have the settings configured to remove downloaded messages from the server (which is typical).
I strongly recommend using IMAP accounts for email that you wish to manage on more than one device. Alleviates that issue.

  • Not Receiving all my  mail

    For the last few weeks I have been receiving only portions of my mail. Messages from senders that I had always received from are now being hung up at the ISP site. Some come thru just fine. Even mail from the ISP (TimeWarnerCable/RoadRunner) does not show up. I have to go to their web-mail site to see what they send me. I am using the Mac Mail program and am on a cable modem. My setting choice is to delete the messages from the ISP account immediatly upon being deliverd. I get overquota notices because they do not come thru. I have to visit the webmail site to even find that out! I have turned off the MacMail junk mail filter. Did not help. I have had two conversations with my ISP's tech folks and they are baffled and suggested I seek advice from this forum. They suggested I could reset my mail settings as if I was a new customer, but I would lose all my saved mail. Do not want to do that. Advice and sympathy is solicited.

    Yes, you're right. Since there are other forums for users of Mail running previous versions of Mac OS X, I usually presume that people posting here is using Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), and often don't check the system specs at the bottom of the messages. My fault, sorry, this is not the first time I make that mistake. Anyway, I'm glad your initial issue seems to have been solved.
    I cannot click on a specific mailbox as each of the
    3 mailboxes are grouped together as simply "in".
    There should be a small triangle to the left of the In mailbox. Clicking on that triangle should reveal the individual input mailboxes for each account.
    Control clicking there does not give me
    any option for get info.
    Right. That feature is available in Tiger Mail only. It is a very useful feature for troubleshooting.
    Which still seems strange as about half of my mail
    was coming through without being"online".
    Maybe you had some accounts online and some offline. Was all the missing mail from the same account? Note that you might have two accounts on the same server and one could be online while the other is offline.
    Note also that sometimes Mail may automatically put an account in the offline state because of connection problems. A special "~" symbol should appear to the right of any account-specific mailbox name in the Mailboxes drawer when that account is offline. I think this applies to Panther Mail as well.

  • Why am I not receiving ALL my e-mail in Ipad. I get it on PC and blackberry

    why am i not receiving all my e-mails on ipad2? I get them on my blackerry and on my pc.

    I believe most PC mail programs by default are set to delete messages from the server once they are downloaded onto the PC.  So if you access your email on your PC before your iPad checks for email some messages won't be there. To minimize this make sure you have Push set to on and Fetch set a short time limit (not Manual).

  • I have been successfully sending out e-mails to all people listed in a Group Address but yesterday only some of the people received their mail. Today I split the list, 25 in each Group Address, again, the same people did not receive their e-mail. Why?

    I have been successfully sending out e-mails each month to about 50 people whose addresses are listed under a Group Name. Yesterday about half of the e-mails were received, the other half weren't. So I tried splitting the group into 2 separate Groups, again the list who didn't receive the first mailing again did not receive the second mailing. There does not seem to be anything that connects the recipients or non-recipients. They have a mix of providers, it was not just the first half of list that was affected, it appears to be totally random.  Any suggestions?

    Neither of these error message look like they're from Exchange.
    Connected to 68.232.130.28 but connection died. (#4.4.2)
    I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
    Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)
    I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue to long.
    Are those from NDRs someone in your organization received, or are they from NDRs received by a sender outside your organization?
    Is 68.232.130.28 your IP address? The IP address resolves to the name esa2.firstam.iphmx.com. Is that a MX for the recipient's domain?

  • Not getting all my mail

    I have an Imac and an Ipad WIFI and use a Time machine base station WIFI. I also have two email accounts, both on the same ISP. The Imac is not turned on most of the time and I use the Ipad for most of my daily computing. The problem is the Ipad is not getting all my mail messages from the server. Whenever I start up my IMAC, I get more messages that the Ipad received. I have done a full reset on the Ipad, but as yet can't fix the problem.
    Any ideas??

    Very long shot - which might have something to do with it. The downloads are set to 25, and I don't refresh the load button. However, that is only part of the answer I think. This morning, I sent out two email messages to a group, of which I am on the list, and one my Ipad I received only one. Alos, one of the things that happens is that my wife is the other account. And we belong to a community which has a server which bounces email to all members of the community, when we send the server an email. Quite ofen, one of us will get the mail, but not the other, and it is not consistent as to who gets the email.
    Fun isn't it???

  • I do not receive all my e-mailson all my devices. I seem to get them all on my iPhone 5s, but not all show up on my iPad and iMac. they are all set up the same. Any Ideas on what is going on and what I can do to remedy this? thanks

    I have an iMac with OS X Lion 10.7.5,an iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1.2 and an iPad with iOS 7.1.2. all software is up to date. My problem is I do not receive all my e-mail on all 3 devices all the time. I seem to get them on my phone , but not all show up on my iMac or iPad. Any ideas as to what is going on and what can I do to resolve this issue? thanks

    On the iPhone, go into Settings -> Store and turn off "Automatic Downloads" for Apps (and Music and Books, if you wish). You can also do that on the iPad to prevent it from going in the opposite direction.
    That will stop any automatic downloading... to prevent them from coming over when using iTunes, select the phone (under Devices), Apps, and then uncheck "Automatically sync new apps." Again, do the same for the iPad if you wish.

  • Style not receiving all email messages

    I recently changed mail-servers. Neither the current nor the previous mail server are in house. We route our in-house email through MS Exchange Server. We do not run BB Enterprise Server so I have set up my BB Style to go directly to the external mail server. I am using MS Outlook 2010 on my desktop computer.
    My BB Style is not receiving all the emails coming to me. Some emails come through our MS Exchange Server but not to my BB. Other emails are received both on my device and desktop.
    Any ideas why this is happening.
    Barry
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Referring back to Post 2 in this thread -- if your email server (the one facing the Internet, with which BIS interacts) is capable of reconciling with the BB (via BIS) items deleted on the server, then you have no choice in the matter, given what you've now been told.
    If you absolutely must retain all items on your BB, then you would I suppose need to set up an auto forwarder that sends everything you receive in your Outlook client out to a different email address. Then you integrate that to your BB so that you can keep that library of items on your BB. You, of course, cannot use those items for any useful purpose (e.g., if you reply, it'll be coming from this secondary email address), but at least you'd have them on your BB.
    What your IT person told you is, however, quite unusual indeed. MS Exchange is intended to be a post office and mailbox containing entity, and has a ton of other power as well. I've never actually heard before of anyone using it in this manner, requiring that the client app remove items from the server (encouragement is always in place, via mailbox size quotas and such...but the requirement is rather unusual in my experience). That requirement would seem to make your MS Exchange environment function much more like a POP/SMTP environment, negating all of the power of MS Exchange, and thereby causing me to think that you are not getting the value from that environment that it offers. But, to each his own!
    Good luck!

  • Not receiving all email to primary Apple ID address since the creation of an alias

    Not receiving all email to primary Apple ID address since the creation of an alias

    All email sent to your iCloud email alias address should be received in your iCloud inbox.  If email is being addressed to your alias when you think it should be addressed to your primary address it may be because the sender replied to an email you inadvertently sent from your alias address.  You might want to confirm that your primary address is set as your default for sending mail.  See "set default address to send from" here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.

  • Not receiving certain e-mails but can receive these e-mails on PC with Windows Mail

    Not receiving certain e-mails on iPad but can receive these  e-mails on a P C with Windows Mail

    Right-Click (or Ctrl-Click) on any mailbox and choose Get Info (you can also invoke this window by typing Command-I). Now, in the Account menu, choose the account that isn't working properly. Does Mail display all your messages there, even those that it fails to download?
    If the answer is yes, don't close the Get Info window yet. I'm going to propose a solution that will cause all your mail still on the server to be re-downloaded again as if it was all new, no matter how old it is or whether Mail had already downloaded it. Hence, before proceeding, you may want to delete any messages still on the server that you don't want to be downloaded again. You can accomplish this in the Get Info window by selecting the messages you want to permanently delete from the server and clicking the Remove From Server button at the bottom right of the Get Info window.
    Now, follow these steps:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. In the Finder, open the HOME/Library/Mail/POP-<account-name>/ folder.
    3. Move any files in that folder whose name starts with MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to the Trash.
    These files keep track of which messages have already been downloaded, so that Mail does not download them again every time it connects to the server. Moving them out of the account folder causes Mail to forget that information and start downloading from scratch all over again.
    For some reason, the information in these files can become inaccurate at some point for people with Comcast accounts. I'm not sure it is a file corruption problem. When these files are the problem, Comcast seems to always be involved. I wonder why your wife has not experienced the same problem, though. Maybe she just hasn't yet or maybe Eudora keeps track of downloaded messages using a different technique...

  • Why do I not receive iCloud e-mails when there is a specific group of "To:" addresses in the body of an e-mail

    I noticed this when I started my iCloud e-mail account a few months ago. I am not receiving iCloud e-mails when there is a specific group of "To:" addresses in the body of an e-mail. I can receive the e-mail on my outlook & local cable providor e-mail accounts with all of the addresses listed. If I strip out the "To:" addresses and send it from my local cable providor e-mail account to my iCloud e-mail account than I will receive the e-mail in my iCloud account (minus all of the "To:" addresses that are in the body of the e-mail. This has caused me to miss a lot of e-mails.
    Following is one of the e-mail that I can send from my cable providor account and not receive it in iCloud. If I strip out all of the "To:" addresses I will receive it in iCloud. I have a case open with Apple but it is not going anywhere. This occurs from multiple sending internet service providors (ISP's) so I think it's an Apple iCloud e-mail processing issue.

    I've been having a very similar problem to what ziemsen describes, for about a week now. The Mail app has stopped delivering new messages to the Inbox, even though I can view the newly incoming messages on the server via Webmail. I am able to send email through Mail with this email account, and as for the other email accounts that I have on Mail (which are also hosted by the same server), I am able to both receive and send email with no problem.
    None of the mail settings have been changed, so how this happened all of a sudden is very puzzling. I have checked Account Info on the problem account - Mail recognizes that there are messages that are on the server yet to be downloaded, but it won't download them.
    I've checked what other users have suggested here in the Discussions Forum, and tried: 1) deleting the problem Mail account from Mail and re-adding it; 2) creating a new machine User account and setting up Mail with that User; 3) setting up Mail on another machine; 4) archiving and re-installing OS, and even 5) wiping the HD entirely and reinstalling the OS. None of these have worked.
    Ernie, your suggestion of deleting the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file sounded like the solution to the problem, so I just tried it - but to no avail. Mail delivers messages that are on the server to my Inbox up until the same point that it always stops at, and there are almost 1000 new messages since then.
    I am pretty lost at this point - I have no idea what else I can possibly do to resolve this problem. The strange thing is, when I tested my email accounts on Microsoft Entourage and Mozilla Thunderbird, they don't have this problem - both deliver all of my incoming mail. I may have no choice but to switch to one or the other at this point, but I'm attached to Mail and would really like to continue using it if I can. Any advice would be much much appreciated.
    very best,

  • Mail (Yosemite) not syncing all Exchange mails

    I tried hard it convert from Outlook 2011 to shiny Mail. For me a disaster. Here are my problems with it:
    Mail does not receive all mails. Some are just left out. There seems not to be any rule. Even syncing doesn't change a thing. Some mails stay at the server.
    I send a mail and need the sent mail. I only find this in my Sent folder after a minimum of 15 minutes. Sometimes it takes more than an hour. Syncing or re-starting Mail didn't poke Mail to get these quicker from the server.
    Although the receiving is set to be checked "automatically", it takes up to five minutes to get a new mail after it arrived on the server.
    All the above don't happen with Outlook. Running both applications in parallel will always lead to MS gets the newly arriving mail first. Even a mail sent from Mail appears immediately in Outlook's Sent folder. When you are really a fan you may get around with these two. But not receiving some mails is a no go.

    Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
    Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
    1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings.
    2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
    3. Reindex messages.
    4. Follow the instructions in this support article to disable autodiscovery. You may need to get configuration details from the server administrator.
    5. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
    6. If you've created subfolders of the Exchange inbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. The inbox should have no subfolders.
    7. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
    8. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.

  • Not receiving all my email in icloud since mobileMe

    Strange but icloud does not receive all of my mac.com emails. Some do arrive but others do not. The reliability is a problem as people are wondering why I have not replied. I do not have push notification checked and according to icloud should be receiving my me.com  mac.com and icloud.com emails. That is not happening. Turns out that my older MacPro Quad computer is receiving my emails so I am still getting them when I return home. My iphone and ipad are not. What is happening? I tried to cancel junk mail filtering on my imac and then lost most of my emails on that computer so I am afraid to change anything on my Mac Pro.

    Hi patricia from sao paulo,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Duplicate email in outlook and not receiving all e...

    I have looked at the other posts about duplicate emails but none seem to answer my problem
    Recently I have started getting duplicate emails in my Outlook inbox, even if I have read them in Outlook. I have also noticed I am not receiving all emails, including the one from BTcommunity asking for verification of email to acces this forum. I only use BY Yahoo on line to check and delete spam and do not read email online at BTYahoo.
    I have not, as far as I am aware, changed any of the settings in Outlook or on BTYahoo.
    The Bt help screen swere less than helpful as my BTyahoo pages do not seem to have the options they suggest.
    Another concern is the repeated downloading to outlook of the same emails will increase my braodband usage.

    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    Although receiving emails in Outlook will increase the usage, emails are generally very small - unless they all contain large attachments.
    Duplicate emails received in your case as described is generally down to an email fetch process from Outlook (or any mail client program) failing to complete the download, and hence an index into the received emails is not updated. When checking for emails again, it gets the same emails it had before until it properly finishes the fetch.
    There are a few reasons this can occur including communications failure, but also stuck emails can cause it to happen, possibly Outlook checking for emails at the exact same moment you are say deleting  spam via webmail at BTYahoo.
    I assume you've checked the online spam folder in case various emails are ending up there, as opposed to just deleting the spam from the online Inbox.

  • I'm not receiving all of my iMessages?

    Hello everyone!
    I've ran into some trouble with iMessage. This isn't the first time and I doubt it will be the last. I've heard a lot of people have been experiencing problems with the IOS 7 update, so hopefully I'm not alone. I'm not receiving all of the iMessages that are sent to me by other iPhone users. According to them, the little grey "delivered" stamp appears underneath their message and as far as they know it's been sent and I'm just ignoring them. I missed out on a party that I would've really liked to go to and no one at Apple Tech can make up for that. As I previously mentioned, this has happened before but it was easily remedied by switching iMessage off and then activating it again. I've tried that again, to no avail. I also removed my Apple IDs from my other Apple products, took my email off of the send and receive list, and reset my network settings. I spoke to someone at Apple's Support Chat who offered little to no insight.
    I'm about to turn off iMessage for good. Any suggestions before pulling the plug?
    *This is my only phone associated with my current number

    Check your spam folder.  Before I completely gave up on Verizon mail I used to find about 10% of the legitimate emails ended up in the spam folder.

  • My blackberry 8900 is not receiving all of my personal emails

    i set up my personal email account on my blackberry, it is my college email address. And i am not receiving all of the emails on my phone, i only receive some of them. I only found out when i was only getting one to two emails a day on my phone and logged into my email account on my computer and it showed like 10 emails that i did not receive on my phone. is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know how to fix this problem so that i receive all emails that come to my persona email?

    I'm not receiving all of my email either. In fact, I've only received one message since I bought it about two weeks ago. When I first synced it transferred all of my mail and added my email accounts (one register.com POP that is enabled and one IMAP that is disabled.) About a week later I received one email message on my iPhone (while not on WIFI) and none since then - regardless of whether or not I'm logged in at home (using Outlook on Vista.) It seems to successfully log in and check for mail, but always comes out thinking it's up to date.
