Outlook on PC's not receiving mail but can send fine

I have found that my real issue with my virtual users is not the virtual domain at all. In fact it works fine with any Apple mail client. But all my Outlook and Outlook Express users out there on their PC's can't seem to get their mail. They can send but not receive and I have no idea how to fix this. I have ben researching and googling to see if anyone knows how to make this work but I haven't found an answer. Anyone know how to fix this?
They are all connecting via POP on port 110 and I show them connecting fine in the server log. But mail is not being pulled down from their mailbox to their client. I have APOP and Clear setup on the server for authentication but still not working.

I'm having fun answering my own questions. So I figured out that if the Outlook clients actually use their comxpwebchurchname then outlook gets their mail no problem. To use their alias of [email protected] doesn't work.

Not receiving mail, but can send it

Out of no where, my @att.net email is not receiving email in Mail, but it can still send it, no problem. I have the email address set up as a POP, with the incoming mail server as pop.att.yahoo.com (I also tried pop.mail.yahoo.com). I don't know what else to do to relieve my mail again. I know that emails are coming in because they show up on my blackberry and on yahoo.com, but not in Mail. Don't know what happened to make it stop receiving.
I don't know if this matters, but I now have 10.6 (but this problem started before I installed it).

Ernie, thanks, deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 fixed my POP account but not the mac.com IMAP...continues to gear spin without end, even when account is taken offline...i tried turning off SSL (reverts to port 143 from 993 here in Aussie) etc, nor is rebuilding effective...account info does not seem to load either: spinning 'calculating sizes'...i think this relates to 10.6.1 but cannot be sure, definitely did not have this issue with 10.6...iphone/webmail continues to work unaffected.
any other prefs might be deleted to encourage mail to function normally?

I cannot receive mail , but can send it , any ideas ?

This is what appeared on my .mac account .
I am unable to receive mail .
Can anyone provide any details ?

If this is your iCloud email account, sometimes removing and adding it back will fix things. To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again. You may need to open Mail and go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts, select your iCloud account, select the Account Information tab, then be sure your .mac address is selected in the Alias drop-down list.

Not receiving emails, but can send them on desktop; but can do both on iPhone.

Ok, I have spent since a day or so since the first of this month trying to solve this issue. I use Hostgator, which shouldn't be an issue, but it seems to be. I have on my phone all my emails that are being hosted by hostgator set up as fetch, and it recieves my emails fine. My desktop though, can't. It can see the servers, and send emails, but it can't do anything but. It can't even download the emails I sent to myself, but when I go on web mail I can see them all.
My connection to the server is good:
But for some reason I can't recieve any emails from the IMAP server.
I put the computer is Safe Mode, and I could recieve the emails, but when I put it in normal mode, the emails don't download. I use Avast! Anti-Virus, I use SugarSync, I use Splashtop, And Free Memory Pro.
For web browsers, I use Crome, and Safari.
I use Apple Mail and Postbox, both can't recieve emails.
I can't imagine what is keeping my computer from downloading from the server.
Can someone help please?

I have not seen that review before and the only thing I take issue with is
the authors of Clam AV for Mac, apparently do not understand these concepts. Both the admin and limited user can only scan files w/in "<user name>/documents". 99% of the files on a Mac are outside of "/users/<admin>,<other user>/documents. What good is a antivirus scan, that has no access?
There is only one author and I can assure you that he fully understands the permission issues involved. He is committed to follow Apple security guidelines in this matter which say that even an admin user should not be able to see files and folders belonging to other users without their explicit permission. I realize that there is a lot of software that ignore this rule, including virtually all other A-V software vendors, but I don't think he will ever budge on that subject. I'm sure this same limitation applies to any other A-V software downloaded from the AppStore.
ClamXav will scan any file or folder that the current user has read access to. For an admin user this is by far the majority of the files on the hard drive, not the 1% indicated by the reviewer. For a limited user, that would be reduced to only files that are owned by that user and any other files readable by "everybody".
I realize that it has widely been suggested that users not routinely operate with admin rights, but I'm guessing the number of users that are actually practicing that are minimal. Novice users won't see that guidance and most of those that do won't be able to figure out how to accomplish that. Experienced users may give it a try, but quickly get tired of switching back and forth to do their admin duties. To me one of those admin duties would be to run ClamXav periodically to pick up anything that may have slipped by, especially when there is more than one user using the computer. Each of those other users should also be using ClamXav to inspect their own files. Of course a limited use user can use an admin userid and password if they know it to do installations, etc., so it is possible to slip something by.
In the case of the web site version of ClamXav, a limited user can run Sentry to watch all of the entry points to the computer, including the download folder, e-mail and any external drives he has access to. That should detect any currently known malware, including Windows, before it becomes an issue.
Lastly, as far as I have been able to determine, all the ClamAV® signatures are for malware that would be readable to an admin user and most by a limited use user. It would be a waste of time to look into the unreadable portions of the System (mostly the Unix sub-system) since there is no currently known malware that would exist there.
What bothers me is that it won't look at files beyond ownership? I know it sounds odd, but I do deal with some form of internet esponage at times due to the type of company I am working on building.
Again, you will be able to examine any files readable by you, any group you belong to or "everybody" as long as they are enclosed in a directory (folder) that you can access. Here's an example of a full hard drive scan I did just the other day as a test:
Scanned directories: 192387
Scanned files: 914610
Total errors: 692
The "errors" are almost certainly files I did not have read access to as an admin so I was able to scan 99.9% of the files I had access to.
Disk Utility tells me I have 1,150,506 files at the moment, so I scanned about 79.5% of them.

Cannot RECEIVE mail - But can send :(

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong here? I'm switching from MS Entourage to the new version of Mail. I've copied all the settings across from Entourage (which is still sending & receiving mail after the upgrade from 10.4.10 to 10.5) The connection Doctor is saying that everything is connected etc I've even set up a mail account to my home email, which i can send & receive from...
Account type is POP, email entered, password entered, incoming & outgoing mail servers entered, there is no error messages coming up. I create a message in Mail, addressed to myself - nothing happens... ten mins later I fire up Entourage, and receive the message I sent from Mail!?

Call your mail service provider. Have them tackle it.

Cannot receive mails but can send them

I cannot receive any mails on my I coud account, bit the sending is working

Go to System Preferences>iCloud and switch Mail off, restart your Mac and switch it back on.

I'm not receiving emails but can send. The message I get is The folder Inbox is full, and can't hold any more messages. To make room for more messages, delete

I deleted lots of emails. I compacted the file. I emptied the trash. I rebooted. I deleted more emails. I rebooted. Nothing worked. Space left is approx. 50%. Pls help.

is this an IMAP mail account? If so
Tools menu (alt+T) > account settings > server settings and set expunge on exit.
What version of Thunderbird do you have?

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.

Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send..

Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send Code 501..
Need help with T-bird.. My OS is Win XP-64..Have been using Mozilla for about 10 years with little or no problems.. This happened when I upgraded to 3.17.. Spent hours on T-Bird diagnostics web site.. Called Comcast & talked to a net tech.. he ran some tests on his end & had me log into my Comcast e-mail account & all worked well,, so he concluded the problem was in T-Bird.. He had me change my port to 587 & disable connection security & authentication to none & I was able to send mail.. That was all he could do.. Comcast was working.. the problem is in T-Bird.. Can any one help with this problem.. I don't want to send mail with my password transmitted insecurely..
Thanks
Richard

It was not intended to be "snide". You said two separate things that at face value would be out of the ordinary.
I considered if it might be a typo for 31.7. Since 31.5 is the current formal release, I would have to thank you for volunteering to test a pre-release beta version. If it was truly 3.1.7 then it would appear that you have chosen, or have become stuck with a somewhat ancient version. In either case it's harder to reach out to you with any meaningful comments or advice. However I do watch various other sites and newsgroups and I don't see a clamour of distressed users, so it seems fair to suppose that this feature isn't actually broken in 31.7.
And you said XP 64. XP is obsolete and no longer supported and if there is a 64-bit version, then again you have set yourself apart from the mainstream.
I had a look at the comcast site and found some puzzling recommendations. Some users come here asking how to set up a secured connection in Thunderbird when it isn't offered by the server. Comcast are different, in that they mention the ports 143 and 587, and also 993 and 465. So far so good, in that security is actually on offer, but they also suggest that you enable SSL, regardless of which port is being used. It would be unusual and unconventional to offer TLS or SSL on ports 143 and 587. STARTTLS would be more credible on these ports.
Have you tried IMAP on 993 and SMTP on 465? SMTP on 587 with SSL, or TLS, is not impossible, but is improbable.

TS3276 My email is yahoo, can receive mail but can't send, any suggestions?

Just got new MacBook air. Having trouble with email, can receive mail but cant send. Any suggestions?

If you still have the MobileMe account setting up the Mail App should be very simple BUT if you do not you WILL need the incoming and outgoing server setting and the easiest way is to follow the email cheat sheet by apple

You WILL need to contact your Email Service Provider for this

TS2621 iphone not receiving mail, but ipad is

About 9 hours ago, my iPhone stopped receiving mail. I starting trying to figure out what was going on with my email accounts, but then I heard my mail notifications happening on my iPad in another room. Sure enough, my iPad is receiving mail, but iPhone is not (for the same email accounts). Not sure why this suddenly happened after more than one year using the email accounts on both devices.
I tried resetting my iPhone (multiple times). I tried deleting my email accounts from the iPhone and re-adding them. Still no luck. Any help, please?
Thanks.

Boa noite, tente fazer isto, apague o e-meil novamente, depois feche o aplicativo MAIL, ai depois adicione o e-mail do Yahoo, abra o aplicativo MAIL, e espere sincronizar.

Can receive mail, but cannot send mail.

I am able to receive mail, but unable to send mail. I went to the apple store and was able to send and receive mail while in the store.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hope you have your install discs as you will need them, if you do no problems. If not you will have to call Aple to get replacements, as the discs are machine build depedent.

I can log on icloud on pc but when i enter password on my ipad mini first gen with ios8 it tells me wrong password. and i can receive mail but cannot send any mail via icloud, gmail, yahoo never had to set this up with ios7. how do i resolve this?

I updated my ipad mini first gen 32gig (4.3gig free) to run ios8 8.0(12A365) and i have a problem sending emails. i can receive mail but when i send it fails. my dropbox works fine, safari, and other apps work fine on the internet just the receiving of mail. Do i need to add a new outgoing server, though i dont remeber having to do this when i updated to ios7. how do i resolve this?

Here's a troubleshooting article from Apple: iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
It doesn't seem to cover your specific issue, but have you tried using a different network (either a different wi-fi network, or switching from wi-fi to cellular or vice-versa if you have a wi-fi+cellular iPad)?
For GMail, iCloud and Yahoo, copies of messages are stored on their respective servers, so you could try deleting the account on your iPad, then re-adding each account one at a time to see if that resolves the issue.

I can receive email but cannot send it. Any ideas?

I Can't receive emails but cand send. Just stopped working. I have checked all settings and also tried deleting account and re adding. Email account ok as works on my phone and laptop. What else could I try?

Go into the account again and look at the settings for the mail server. That is what receives the mail. Make sure that your username and password are entered everywhere, even where the phone states optional. I'm guessing that you are connected to Wi-Fi on the iPad at the time you are trying to get the mail?
