  • My iPhone is not receiving mail but these messages continue to flash at the bottom of the screen:  Checking for messages, Updated just now, checking for messages, etc.  After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received

    My iPhone is not receiving mail but the following messages continue to flash over and over at the bottom of the screen:  "Checking for messages, Updated just now, Checking for messages", etc.  After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received and then the "Checking for Messages," etc. starts back again.   I turned the phone off for 30+ minutes and also tried to reset it, but the problem continues.   Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • Not receive mail

    It is not possible to send e-mail. The message in the screen is 'the connection with the outgoing server failed.
    I checked al the options I received from my provider and everything is ok. Maybe inside of the Ipad the SSL is on.
    I do not know how I can fix this problem.
    I also do have the problem with my Iphone4.
    Somebody knows how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Like you, I'm not receiving mail consistently, and additionally I can't quit Mail properly.
    I'm not using Gmail (rather iCloud), but I'm getting similar issues: there's no indication in Mail that it's not working (no spinning wheels, nothing greyed out); I only know it's not receiving mail properly because my iPhone or iPad have lots of mail coming in.
    Like you, I have to quit and relaunch, BUT I can't even quit from the Mail app - I select quit, and the window disappears, but the little bubble never disappears at the bottom of the screen. I have to Force Quit from the Activity Monitor. If I do that, and then reopen, it works fine - for a while (maybe a day or two?).
    The two problems - not receiving mail, and not being able to quit - seem related: they always come together. If I'm receiving mail, I can also quit properly.

  • After installing ios6 I am not receiving mail

    After installing ios6 I am not receiving mail. I can send, but not receive. Am I required to activate iCloud for mail or is there some other problem?  I have checked settings and they are unchanged and correct.

    I found the big red "delete account". (Sometimes  things are just too obvious.)
    I deleted and re-entered. When I hit next I get the error message that the "username and password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect."  What is imap? 
    My gmail account is working fine when I go to it directly.  Does the fact that I receive a text with a verification code the first time I log on from a new computer have anything to do with this problem?

  • All of my mail settings are correct however I am not receiving mail on my IPad.

    All of mail settings are correct however I am not receiving mail.

    Try sending yourself an email and see if that come thru. You may just have to remove the account and re add it back.
    Are getting any specific error messages?

  • My ATT IMAP Mail account will not receive mail unless I rebuild the mailbox.

    Hi - I have one ATT IMAP Mail account that does not receive mail promptly, often taking hours or even days to arrive unless I rebuild that particular mailbox. Another IMAP account with a different provider works fine. I have tried to figure out the problem with ATT, but they seem to think the problem is Apple Mail. I know the mail should be arriving because I can see it in in webmail, but it doesn't arrive until immediately after I rebuild. What's up with this and how do I fix it?

    AT&T uses Yahoo for mail service, and Yahoo often causes problems with Mail in OS X, so there may not be a good solution. You can try the following.
    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • TS3276 Mail account set up. Can not receive mail-Everything is green in Connection doctor but when checking activity it shows stop signs.  Was able to receive mail until last week  then all of a sudden stopped receiving mail but no changes were made.

    My mail account has been set up and working to send and receive mail for several months.  All of a sudden I can not receive mail.  The connection doctor shows all green lights.  No changes have been made and nothing has been changed on preferences on IMAP and SMTP.  I can send mail.  My other accounts all send and receive mail.  When you click on activity the list shows stop signs. All accounts show that they are online. 

    UPDATE:
    I deleted all the messages off the server of the offending email address and everything works fine now.

  • My mail is getting stuck in outbox, but I am receiving mail just fine. Message says 'server timed out'. What can i do to fix this?

    Hello Naila1,
    It sounds like you are unable to send emails, as they go straight to the outbox, but you can get the emails without issue. I recommend using the Connection Doctor to help you troubleshoot what is happening with the following article:

  • Hi I want to change your e-secret questions because I forgot the answers I have tried sending reset questions on my mail and I have not received mail

    hi I want to change your e-secret questions because I forgot the answers I have tried sending reset questions on my mail and I have not received mail

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)
