OSX 10.5.8 Mail stop displaying new mail on 24/5/2012

Hi All,
I've got 2 gmail account in my mac mail. One of them stopped display new mail on 24/5/2012. The last mail that I've got is 23:45pm 23/5/2012. When I try to get new mail for that mail box, the mail ativity shows they are loading 43 incoming messages. However, once the loading is done, nothing shows up.
As I said i've got 2 gmail accounts in the mail and the other account is working fine.
Any ideas?
Thx in advnace

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

That's nonsense, if you look at the settings you will see you can put the entire device into Arabic if you want, as well as type and read Arabic emails and other docs. The font is there, but for some reason the encoding is botched, either by the app or the place sending the email to the iPad.

where can I download new mail sound when new mail comes in?

where can I download new mail sound when new mail comes in?
Thank you,
BigBlaze

Go to Mail Preferences, use the drop-down "new mail sounds". The very last option is ADD/REMOVE. You can choose a sound that will be copied to your own User Library.
To find how many sounds you already have on the computer (TONS if you have any games) just to a search the computer for aiff or aif. Copy the file you like to the desktop so you can find it easily, and add it using the above instructions.
The sound gets copied to your library, so you can delete the desktop file when you're done.

Mail icon shows new mail but all mail has been read. Won't update with phone reset.

My mail icon shows new mail (1 currently) but I have no new mail. I have synced phone and turned off several times to no avail.

If you have reset your phone several times and does not fix , then restore your phone in itunes from your backup. Be sure that you have a recent backup with all items that you wanted saved, synced.
BEFORE, you do the restore, try deleting the mail account and reaading it and see if that fixes the issue, otherwise , then do the restore.

Why has mac mail stopped displaying images in emails?

upgraded to ML when it came out, all fine, but 2 weeks ago, mail suddenly stopped displaying any images in my emails.
how do i get them back???
thanks in advance

Re: my Mac also JUST stopped showing embedded images in my email several weeks back. I've done it all to fix it including reloading mail program but still no luck. this is really ticking me off because I can not even tell what the emails are about. what the heck, doesn't someone from Apple review these posts once in a while.

Mail stopped showing new messages

The Mail program stopped retrieving new emails. It shows my last email came last night, but when I sign into aol.com I have 8 new emails there. Tried closing/rebooting but no luck. Also it's not giving me a password prompt like it sometimes does, so I know it's not a password issue. Any ideas?

Is this thing on?

My mac mail quit displaying new email.

Sunday afternoon my 'Mail Activity' window indicated I had new email. Nothing displayed in my inbox. I have two mac systems and both are having the same problem. I am getting my mail on my iPhone and via Yahoo mail without issues. I have an SBCglobal.net account as part of my phone/dsl service. My wife's account works fine. Settings are all the same, rebooting doesn't help. The message count appears in the 'Mail Activity' window, the tone sounds indicating mail is downloading, but never appears anywhere.

I had the same issue, after a day I have realize that I wasnt getting any new mail. I click on everything to figure it out and try this out:
-Go to Trash on the left.
-Its gonna show: -On my Mac
-Att/Yahoo (depends on your email provider)
-Click on: Att/Yahoo if you have that option.
and it will show a message : to go Online, because probably you switch it to offline which that was my case and didnt realize.
and Done, you will see you will getting mail normally.

Mail.app stopped receiving new mail from Exchange

The mail server is Exchange 2007
It just happens every 20ish hr
Tried connection doctor and not help.
Only way to workaround this is you realize no new mail for a while then manually restart Mail.app.

How to Automatically display new mail as it comes in.

I would prefer to see new mail in the inbox without having to click Get Messages or having to scroll down. Is this possible? Thanks

Thank you, this is better. Not sure why this is not the default setting, or if not how it was changed. Happy new year!

OSX 10.10 Mail, check for new mail at system startup?

When I start the mail app, it will check for new messages. But can the mail app be set to automatically check for new mail at system startup? I typically do not "re open apps when logging back in".
THANKS

Leave Mail running and set it to check every minute. AFAIK, there's no way to check otherwise.

Mail expunge error and old mail switching to new mail status

Everything started when I set to enabled in mail-general-when searching mail boxes: include encrypted pages.
I was looking for a way to seach in the content of the message for the mails.
Then the first error appeared: the mails when I read those mails returned by themselves to the state of unread.
Then I disabled again the optin: mail-general-when searching mail boxes: include encrypted pages,
but the error continued. and all my mails (more than 1200) were set automatically to the "new" mail status each time that I started the mail program.
Now I created a mailbox named "old" when I move the new messages that I have read to that file.
But now the mail program uses the memory constantly.
with out the mail, the computer memory is near 5%, but when I start the mail program and use it constantly, the memory goes to 100% until I receive the mail expunge error.
The machine has 4Ghz ram, and the mail program uses all until I got the error, I am using a G5, dual cpu, 2ghz, mac osx server. There are no other programs using the memory.
1)how can I configure the mail to avoid the expunge error?
2)how I can configure the mail to keep the mails that I just read to an old state (avoiding those to restart their state to "new")?
3)it is possible to do searchs in all the content of the messages?
thanks
Alberto

You’re welcome.
Well, not knowing what the problem really is, and since it apparently started to happen after you changed some settings, I’d try setting up Mail again from scratch and import your mail back afterwards.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk, try this:
1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/. Move (not copy) the entire Mail folder out of there, to the Desktop.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop.
5. Open Mail and set it up again from scratch. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and check that everything works fine.
6. You’ll have to re-configure all your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
7. If Mail works fine now and you had any messages stored in local mailboxes, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import your mail from the old Mail folder that’s now on the Desktop. Import the Mailboxes folder first, then each of the POP-username@mailserver account folders, if any.
8. If .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Mail not getting new mail

I have had my work account setup through Mail for almost 2 years without a problem. Today it stopped retrieving new emails. I went to Window...Connection Doctor and Connection Status is green and both for incoming and outgoing it shows green. I can send emails fine, but it won't retrieve new emails that I have received. I also get emails to this account through my phone and it is getting new incoming emails.
I have tried closing the app and restarting, doesn't work.
I have tried restarting the OS, doesn't work.
I haven't changed any settings in the past day, so its not a settings issue. That is unless Mail is now changing settings on its own.
What else can I do to solve this?

It does show in the bottom left that its connecting "Incoming messages..." and when it tries, it makes a tiny beep. Its not the "new email" sound, just a quiet, short beep. No idea what the sound means.

Mail not showing new mail count

Very recently, Mail has stopped showing the new mail count next to the corresponding inbox on the bar on the left side of Mail. There are new emails sitting in the indox but it doesn't show a count. I upgraded to Mavericks and it there were no issues but now this is happening. Any ideas why?

Incoming_Mail
IncomingTable_ofContents
Yes, these can also be removed. Tiger Mail no longer uses them. You can confirm this by looking at their modification date. It should be no later than the date you imported your Panther mail into Tiger mail.

Mail wont load new mail

My Mail program will no bring in new messages! I can check the messages online at Mac.com but not in the actual program. I have already tried deleting the preferences and defining the accounts again, and it only loads the same old messages. I've also tried the traditional rebooting to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could it be that Mail is in an "offline" state? Is
the Mailbox > Go Online command enabled or
disabled?
I have two .Mac accounts. Both Mailboxes are online.
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced. Is
Include when automatically checking for new
mail checked or unchecked?
It is checked for both my mailboxes.
Open Window > Connection Doctor. What does it
say?
For one .Mac account (the one I dont really use) t it says "Connection & login to server suceeded"
For the other .Mac account it says "Cannot connect to this .Mac server. Check your network connection and that you entered in the correct information in Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not uncheck that box."
Was this account set up as type .Mac in Mail, or was
it set up as POP? If .Mac, try rebuilding the the
mailbox, i.e. select it and do Mailbox >
Rebuild.
I tried rebuilding both of them and now I dont have my old emails either. Just an empty Inbox.
