Password recovery mail never arrives

Hey,
I had now multiple issues with recovering the passwords for multiple apple id accounts.
Those emails never arrive.
I requested a password recovery mail for about 10 times since yesterday evening. Nothing happens.
Other mails like the one you get after changing your apple id are coming through just fine, but password recovery emails are never!!!
It seems like this is an on purpose somehow, because it is broke for months if not years now.
What is wrong there?
An NO, I do not want to call anyone. If something is offered to me, it should work.
Thanks for reading. I am looking forward to your answers.
Gillian

We are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why you aren't getting the emails.
If you have a rescue email address on your account(s) then you've checked the inbox and spam folder on that account as well ?
If not then do you remember your answers to your security questions - if you do then you should be able to reset your password by answering them : http://iforgot.apple.com
Otherwise you will have to contact Support in your country if you want your passwords resetting : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

MAC Mail - Sends Mail but mail never arrives at destination

Hi,
I have Leopard installed and am using MAC Mail for email. I connect to Virgin email servers for mail. Mostly this works fine, however I have found that sometimes I send email to contacts and it never arrives and never bounces back. I think it only happens when I click 'Reply' on emails. The addresses are correct and I never get a bounce back. Anyone had this problem?

Hmm…I see two problems here: one is that your profile says you're running 10.4.10; if that's true, then you should update to 10.4.11 immediately, and you're in the wrong forum. If that's not the case, you need to update your profile so it accurately reflects the specific version of OS X you're running. And FYI: there is no MAC Mail; it's Mac. MAC is an acronym for something completely different.
As for your problem, as long as the mail is sent, what happens to it after that is out of your control. It's possible that Virgin is experiencing problems with their mail servers to that some of these emails are deleted before they ever reach their destination, and it's also possible that the recipients' ISP is experiencing that kind of problem, but it would be rare. It's more likely that something in the subject or the body of the email you're sending is being flagged as spam and that the recipient or their ISP puts them into a Spam type folder or just deletes them before they ever reach the recipient. Since I don't know what kind of emails you send or to whom, I can't be sure, but I'd ask my recipients about this first, then my ISP.

Mail never arrives

Hi All,
I have a problem which I think is with the agents in my GW system.
Our environment is:
GW 703 hp4
NW 65 SP7
GWIA PO WEBACC DOMAIN all on same server
Mail from one particular email address will not be delivered to one of the users here. I see it get scanned in GWAVA, come through the GWIA and get handed over to the MTA, I can see in the logs the MTA handles the item and hands it over to the POA, but the POA shows no record of the message having come in and the message doesnt arrive for the user.
I dont see any errors in the MTA log to suggest it had a handling error or anything. I have run GWCHECKs on the users message and user databases as well, and no errors are found.
If the sender CCs our helpdesk account, we will get it, but the intended recipient doesn't get it still.
Anyone got any ideas on this??
Thanks
Dave

Wanna bet? ;) If I'd get a dollar for every time I've heard "no, we
don't have junk handling..." when in the end it *was* junk handling, I'd
be a rich rich man and would no longer need to work. ;)

Emails never arrive to BT inbox

Sorry in advance as this may be a bit long winded, a couple of weeks ago one of my clients who is with BT and has a BT email address phoned to ask why I had not emailed him as promised. I had, so sent it again but it didn't arrive, tried with a different email account still the same so tried a hotmail account and still the same. All these emails where being sent from Apple mail running 10.9 so tried from my iPad, iPhone still no joy. Sent one from Outlook 2011 on the same computer and same internet connection so same external IP address which is my own personal account not my work one and it arrived.
My brother is with BT so started doing some testing and at 1st it appeared that an email sent from any account from any version of Apple mail never arrives. I tried several computers running various versions of Mac OS, tried iPads and Iphones. I then set the same work account up in Outlook and it arrived so I started thinking it was an Apple mail issue.
So I configured the work email in Outlook with my work signature and all of a sudden the mails stopped arriving to any BT address. More testing and it seems that with any email account with any type of signature sent to any BT email address my mails never arrive but remove the signature from outlook or Apple Mail and they arrive. It is only BT clients having this issue everyone else seems to be getting my emails.
We checked the spam folders etc. and no sign of my email, if I enter my email address in the safe senders in webmail then they arrive but I can't ask every client with BT to do this.
It all used to work fine but this has suddenly started to happen, I have spent ages working out why the emails don't arrive. I get no bounce back message, no error message and if other people are copied in they get the email just BT users don't.
I have tried a plain text signature but get the same result, I have tried pasting a signature in at the end and get the same result. I am baffled.

BT's new email partner Openwave/Critical Path seem to be overly agressive with their anti-spam measures. There's not much anybody here can do to remedy that unfortunately except keep complaining and hope that something eventually gets done.

I have not been recieving e-mails from certain websites, such as password recovery e-mails, while when using others they come quite quickly?

I am unsure if this is an issue with xfinity or comcast, my mail server, ect. I have a limited knowledge on technology, though I'm learning more every day, and I'd love any help! Thank you!

Thank you for the answer, Airmail! I have done so before, but the e-mails do not end up there either. Perhaps it is an issue with cookies or something? I have everything set to private so as to keep things clean, but I downloaded Google Chrome without any settings edited and e-mails still don't come through there either!
For example, even from the same websites, I can recieve a password recovery e-mail immediately but a verification e-mail never comes.

Why email sent for password change "sent successfully" but never arrives

I am frustrated beyond measure! I need to sign in to Firefox, Mozilla, or Thunderbird but it won't accept my password and when an email is sent to [email protected] to reset password it never arrives.
Note: This started after I could no longer click on any link in my email and access website/link. If I type in or copy link address and paste into my google browser it can't find it and says it is not a correct address.
This just started 4-5 days ago.
I receive other emails and have checked settings, filters, restarted Thunderbird, Firefox, run diagnostics to no avail.
Please help. Thank you. Patricia

ok, I am confused, but I think no more than you.
Thunderbird stores your passwords, it does not allocate them or reissue them. Mozilla have no idea what your mail accounts or passwords are.
You can apparently log into this site (your posting here), and this site is what any password reset mails would be about if they come from Mozilla.
I strongly suggest you log into your web mail at delextreme.com and look in the trash, spam. junk and any other folders your mail provider may ave stuck them into. Password reset emails regularly go to spam or trash. Mail providers just do what they like.
Notre that is you click a link and chrome can not find the link it is not a problem with your mail client. It may however be a problem with your anti virus (modifying the links to protect you from yourself) or a DNS issue preventing the sites from resolving. (contact with your isp may well be required to fix that)

I have a second company iPad with a different Apple ID. I had already bought keynote, numbers and pages from the app store but today when I tried to download Dropbox my password is no longer recognised. Requesting a password reset results in the e-mail from Apple never being received. I get an acknowledgement that says it has beeen sent, but it never arrives. Checked Junk etc - empty!

Apple ID reset password email never arrives.

It is several years old and I forgot. It is [email protected] email never arrives. Apple address is not blocked and junk mail folder is empty.
It is also a valid ID because if I try to create a new Apple ID using the same [email protected] I get a message that that ID is taken. The email account is valid as I send and receive emails everyday from it. I want to use the ID on a new iPhone I just got. I only used the ID on an old iPod several years ago briefly.
I have tried the email reset several times and never get an email sent to me.
Also I can not get a password reset via the 'answer questions' methood because I completely forgot how I answered them. Also that was a time before there was password rules and I'm not sure any questions were even needed to be answered.

Thank you so much for the answer. I don't have a rescue email. I'll call the number and see if they can help. If they could at least change the rescue address to the AppleID address that would probably work. I'll report back after the call, I hope they will help. Thank's for the number.

ICloud emails sent from apple mail or iPhone 3gs never arrives, works fine when sent from iCloud website

The ony place I have been able to send and receive email since the launch of iCloud has been the icloud website. I wasn't able to send email from my iphone 3gs or apple mail at all until today, now it finally appears to let me send email but it never arrives to its destination.
I can send an email from the icloud website without issue, and email sent from my icloud account using my iphone 3gs and apple mail seems to send fine and without error but who knows where it goes.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks!
Charles

I figured out how to fix it... if anyone else has this problem, go to Outlook > Preferences > Accounts > select the IMAP account > Advanced > Folders and for "Store Sent Messages in this Folder:" select "Sent Messages (Server)."

Can some one guide me from where or from which table or which info type should i pick these values and how.

Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support explains the difference between Alternate and Rescue Addresses and the "necessity" for a Rescue Address.
I fall into the category of not needing one (only two security questions in the challenge), so my "Forgot your answers?" link to send the email sends to my ALTERNATE address.
I do not know the criteria for 2 or 3 security questions.

Keep sending mail but never arrives

What email service are you using?
Are the service parameters correct in the account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars?
Have you tried restarting or resetting your ipad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Mail with pdf never arrives.

I have 2 iCloud mail accounts, and my girlfriend has 1. Mail normally works perfectly between them. However, when I attempt to send a large pdf attachment (exported from a Pages document) it never arrives. It is listed as sent. I cannot see anything wrong with the pdf, and other (smaller and non-Pages) pdf's I have used to test the accounts all work.
So, to recap: All Apple software, all Apple iCloud.
Anybody seen anything like this?

Are they larger than 20 MB?
That is apparently the size limit: http://email.about.com/od/iCloud-Mail-Tips/qt/Know-The-Icloud-Mail-Message-And-A ttachment-Size-Limits.htm

When i send an e-mail out with my iCloud account it does go out but it never arrives at the e-mail address.

I am sending out e-mails from my IMC desktop from my Icloud account. It makes the swooshing sound so it sounds like it is been delievered. But sometimes it never arrives at the e-mail address. I double checked the "sent addresses" and they are correct. What is going on here? Thank you

Gamecenter password recovery when userid is not an e-mail address

My gamecenter userid is uncertain, but when I ask for a password change, the system only provides MM and YY... and fails to bring forward the key question. When I ask for password e-mail, I get acknowledgement that the e-mail has been sent, but it never appears in any of my e-mail accounts.
I do have an issue with how my 3G is being handled for billing purposes and I suspect the e-mail is being sent to an alternate id associated with people in my position or to an abandoned ID they still have on record still for a relative.
Any ideas? Is this the correct forum to ask?

Thanks for the feedback. I have logged into to change the Apple ID but it doesn't work. At the bottom of the screen of the tutorial it says "NOTE: Some Apple IDs cannot be changed, like the one in this example. In that case, you must create a new one." So I guess that means that I have to create a new Apple ID? But how will that influence my current iTunes setup and sync towards the iPhone?
