Not receiving email sometimes...help

Hi, I have recently noticed my iPhone sometimes doesn't get new email even if I have one on the server. For instance, today I was checking my iPhone inbox several times during the day - nothing was there. When I came back home and opened my Mail - voila! - three unread messages appeared!. It's pretty annoying. I'm talking about my gmail account. In my settings, the messages aren't removed from the server, so it shouldn't be the case.
Please help..

auggiedoggy,
Your ISP may use email blacklists to cut down on spam. Your friend(s) could have run afoul of your ISP's spam filters with certain messages.
The mail on your computer and not on the web indicates that you have set Mail to delete messages from the server under certain circumstances. (Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab. The Advanced and Mailbox Behaviors subtabs hold the settings that determine when messages are moved or deleted.) It's also likely that your webmail settings are helping determine message deletion.

  • Not receiving email sometimes

    Over the past few weeks I've had a few people tell me they sent me email which I never received. I was receiving email at this time, even some from them. They never received an error message, nor did I. One person sent me 7 emails this weekend which I did not receive. I checked web mail, and it's not showing there either. Some emails are showing up on my computer and not on the web. Any thoughts?

    Hi Beigi,
    According to your description, I understand that Exchange cannot received the message from Gmail, however others works well.
    Great checklist from Hotaka.
    Additional, I want to double confirm whether any other antivirus and protection software in your environment, also the
    Anti-Spam
    or
    Transport rule settings, for example sensitive words, IP block list and attachment filter, so that the message from external trigger constraints and be rejected. Meanwhile, please double check in OWA.
    Besides, please use message tracking log to get more details for this issue. It’s more helpful to narrow down the problem, for your reference:

  • I sometimes do not receive emails via iCloud  any ideas

    Sometimes I do not receive emails to my iCloud account. Any ideas. Both on my Mac and iphone

    There is no such thing as "Windows for Mac". Do you mean Office for Mac? If so, you might want to try asking your Office for Mac question in the Office for Mac forums where the Office for Mac gurus hang out.

  • Why am I not receiving emails that I know have been sent to me??

    I am not receiving emails into my Mail program. I know that I have been sent emails, in fact I have sent myself tests from both the email as well as my Yahoo account. Neither have come through. I have tried the "send/receive" button and it does not register that there are any emails. This is an ongoing problem and the emails will sometimes come through hours later (if not the next day). My coworkers are not experiencing this problem at all. This is seriously effecting my ability to respond to my clients - since I'm not getting their emails.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Thank you!
    I actually saw your post below on another listing and have just finished trying it...unfortunately it did not work. I have also checked my Quota Limits and we have 858GB and my account states it is using only 2.9GB. So VERY odd and frustrating...Any other ideas are greatly appreciated!
    Also, I am trying to go through and remove attachments without deleting the entire email. I found online how to do this, however, it does not seem to be working...any ideas?
    Thirdly, do you know if having your Inbox organized into numerous folders/subfolders would increase the amount of space used and could be causing these issues?
    Sorry to ask so many questions...I'm at a loss for what to do.
    Thank you!

  • Not receiving emails from one specific domain

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with not receiving emails from one specific domain @youmail.dk. It hasn't been an issue earlier, but I stopped receiving the emails late last year. For all I know this is the only domain there's a problem with - I don't have any problems with any other random domain.
    There is no rules or anything like that set up, so I have no idea what the problem could be... There's no "failure to deliver" notification send to the sender either.
    It doesn't matter if I check iCloud online, on my MacBook or iPhone...
    Can anyone help me?
    Nina.

    Comcast Security Assurance manages email system security and should be able to help you with this. Call them at 1-888-565-4329 (from http://constantguard.comcast.net/dedicated-support/). They will probably want to know the IP address(es) and/or host name(s) of the sending email server(s).
    The first-line reps at CSA are sometimes not so helpful. If so, be persistent, and keep at them until you get a satisfactory answer.

  • Can not receive emails from third party email accounts

    Recently I started working for a small business which has small business server 2011 and exchange 2010 installed. Before I started there were eight user accounts and they all have unlimited email access. I created a few users through sbs AD and also from
    exchange console a week ago. Unfortunately none of them can not receive emails from third party accounts. they all can receive internal emails and also can send mails to any email accounts internally and externally. 
    This is a night mare for me as new users are having trouble with communicating via mails. I have tried all the methods and now thought of posting this issue on tech net. Please help me on this!!
    Thanks a lot!!

    Checklist for testing inbound email problems, I am assuming outbound emails works ok.
    1. Check Port 25 forwarding on all modems routers/firewalls
    2. MX Record is created and pointing to the correct Public IP Address, use MXToolbox.com to verify MX Record and test SMTP flow. Also Verify your public IP has not changed, use whatsmyip.org to check you public IP
    3. If using POP Connector Service, make sure POP accounts are created properly
    4. If using a 3rd party spam host, make sure they forward email to correct public IP address, use step 2 to verify your public IP.

  • I can send but not receive email

    Hello All. I know this is a highly posted topic but I cannot find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Basic Problem- I can send but not receive email.
    My ISP is. Yahoo SBC Global
    I have a 3rd party email provider: 1and1.com
    I have set my preferences according to the specifications of 1and1.com
    The error I get is this: The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server "pop.1and.com" failed.
    I have a Macbook Pro, running 10.4.9. My account with the 3rd party email provider is new and only has 1 or two emails in the account. I know this because I can log on via the internet and use their website to check the emails in the inbox. So the "email" address is working. I just can't get it to forward to my laptop.
    I'm wondering if it has something to do with port 110 being blocked by my ISP. But I really don't think they are blocking that port. Due to the fact that my previous computer was a dell, and I used a similar 3rd party provider to email, the account used port 110 and things worked fine.
    Thanks to all.

    Ok. I've got it working.
    All I did was delete my account information from the preferences. Before, I was editing it.
    I entered a completely new POP account and it started working. I have a hard time believing that I entered information incorrectly prior to this because I checked it, rechecked it had a friend check it and it all looked OK. I was copy and pasting information anyway.
    However, once I deleted and re- entered a brand new account, it worked fine.
    Ernie, thanks for replying to my emails! I appreciate it.

  • New ISP - not receiving email

    I have a relative with an eMac running 10.3.9. She recently switched to a new ISP and is not receiving email in Mail. She has to use web mail to retrieve it. Sent mail goes out ok from Mail, web-surfing works. She revised the account information in the previous email account in Mail, typing in the new email address, password and server info. I believe the problem is that she should create a new email account in Mail and disable the old account (archive and delete). Any ideas to resolve the incoming email issue? I will try my idea tonight and report whether it works or not.

    Hi RarelyDan,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussion forums!
    You may wish to try the troubleshooting tips found in Apple's Mail Help:
    "If you can't receive email, try the following:
    ▪ Send yourself a test email. The mail has to go out through your outgoing mail server and back into your incoming mail server. This is a good basic test of your account and server information.
    ▪ Make sure your computer can perform other Internet tasks, such as opening a webpage. If not, choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Network. Choose Network Status from the Show pop-up menu. A green dot indicates that you are connected to the Internet or a network. If you aren't connected, go to the Finder and choose Help > Mac Help, then search for "Connecting to the Internet."
    ▪ Choose Mail > Preferences and click Accounts. Verify your account name and password. Your account name will usually be either your email address ([email protected]) or the part of your email address to the left of the "@" (tclark3). If your Internet service provider (ISP) lets you access your email via a web browser, you may be able to verify your name and password there. If the same information does not work using a web browser or your ISP doesn't offer a web-based mail option, confirm your user name and password with your ISP or network administrator. Remember to type your email password, not your Mac OS X user account password or ISP password (if different).
    ▪ Find out if you can reach your incoming mail server from your computer. Open Network Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and click Ping. Ping is a simple network testing tool that shows whether a server computer is running and can be reached from your computer. Type the mail server name (such as mail.mac.com) or IP address in the address field, and click Ping. If you see 10 repeating lines, then the server can be reached. If you see a message such as "ping: unknown host bogus.apple.com," then the server is either down or unreachable.
    ▪ Mail works with the following account types: POP, IMAP, .Mac, and Exchange (only if configured as an IMAP server). You can't log in directly to Hotmail, AOL, or any service that does not support POP or IMAP access, and retrieve email using Mail.
    ▪ If you have an IMAP account, it may be placed "offline" if Mail can't access it. Choose Mailbox > Online Status. If you see the choices Go Online or Take Account Online, connect to the Internet, and then choose Mailbox > Online Status > Go Online.
    ▪ Make sure there is no firewall software blocking email traffic. A firewall works by selectively blocking network traffic. Mac OS X has a built-in firewall, which you turn on and off using the Sharing pane of System Preferences. Open System Preferences and click Sharing, then click Firewall. Make sure your firewall is off.
    ▪ You may be affected by another firewall, either software installed separately from Mac OS X or built into an Internet sharing router, or administered by your ISP or network administrator. Contact the appropriate person to find out whether a firewall may be in place.
    ▪ If you have changed options (such as Use SSL or Authentication) in the Advanced pane of your email account preferences, check with your ISP or system administrator for the correct settings."

  • User not receiving email / corrupt database?

    Much like another recent post, I have a user that can not receive email the emails just sit in the queue.
    The error on those messages is "[[email protected]]: temporary failure"
    Here are the twists:
    1) We had a power spike a couple of days ago. The user's UPS failed and his machine lost power completely. He rebooted and everything else was fine, but he has not received an e-mail since then.
    2) When looking at the list of users on the Server Admin > Mail > Maintenance > Accounts screen, the list in the database stops at the person BEFORE this particular user. They're alphabetical, obviously, so everyone after this person are not listed at all - 13 total missing accounts.
    The kicker is that the rest of us are still receiving e-mail normally!
    Thoughts?!
    Details:
    Mac Xserve running 10.4.11
    Dual 2GHz, and 2GB RAM
    Keep in mind I am NOT a born tech person, have a mild to moderate comfort level with a command-line prompt, and no native intuition for any of this.
    Thanks!

    I'm the consultant that fixed MNX04's server, but it took several attempts.
    the Cyrus reconstruct command failed to resolve the issue, and even removing the user using cyradm, and re-creating them in Workgroup manager didn't fix the problem.
    Pterobyte's mailbfr utility did the trick: mailbfr -f, wait awhile for the repair to run, and all was well.
    I'm grateful for all the help pterobyte has given to people on this forum, but it concerns me a little bit that the Cyrus utilities built in to OS X server can't fix this sort of problem. (However, this is the first time I've run into a problem with OS X mail servers that the Cyrus reconstruct command couldn't fix.)

  • TS4002 Not receiving emails w/ attachments from a few of my existing contacts

    This is a problem I just started having in the last couple weeks! I am not receiving emails w/ attachments from two of my every day mail contacts. Both of these people are with different organizations with different email accounts. If they send me an email without an attachment I receive it, but when they send one with an attachment, I don't even get a notification that they TRIED to send it! I have missed multiple emails from important business clients and my realtor! I have received hundreds of emails from these clients over the last 3 years. The attachments are simple PDF files so I know they are not exceeding the limit. They do not show up on the iCloud site, in my Mail app, or on my iPhone.
    I have had several other contacts send me attachments which I receive as expected.
    I have an @me.com account. Have had no complaints until now.
    Any help?

    Hi Tattoosleeve,
    I suggest double check the Anti-Spam configuration if you have enabled it. More details in the following link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997242.aspx
    Did the customers get NDRs when they can't send to your org? If yes, please paste the details without sensitive information for the further troubleshooting.
    I want to double confirm your Exchange server version. If you are using Exchange Online, I suggest contact Exchange Online Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestion. For your convenience:

  • E6 (Belle) - Phone can sent but not receive emails

    Hello,
    I have set up a 2nd mailbox. The first mailbox functions fine. But with the second mailbox I can send, but not receive emails.
    Has anybody an idea how to solve that?
    Many thanks

    One more try.   The problem here is that I don't have hands-on experience with Belle.  Some backtracking...  I assume that
    1) Your firmware is up to date.
    2) Even manually syncing email doesn't work.
    3) You are not seeing any error messages that would help us track down the problem.
    I did a web search, and found other Belle users complaining about Gmail support, but mostly that push doesn't work reliably.  Manually syncing (or polling every X minutes) still does.  It's a long thread, but you might want to read http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Messaging-Email-Browsing-and/E-mail-doesn-t-sync-automatically-after... in case any comments help you.
    If none of that helps, try enabling logging.  Within Nokia Email, I have a logging option under Settings -> Global Settings -> Log Output.  It writes at least two files to Phone Memory -> Logs.  In my case, one file logged only GUI calls...and so was useless, and the other file was always empty.  (A third file applied only to Mail For Exchange.)  But give it a try and check the files later for references to Gmail or IMAP.  Read them from a computer if that helps, and then post any relevant portions here.  Also turn off logging when you're finished.
    Again, good luck!
