People not receiving my e-mails since 1st Jan 08

No one has received e-mails from my mac account since 1st January 2008. I've discovered this today and done various tests. One of them being sending e-mails from and to two different hotmail addresses via entourage. This works.
Anything sent from my mac account is not received. I have received e-mails, but anything I've sent from my computer using entourage (hotmail) to my mac account is not received.
I've used a different computer to send a hotmail e-mail to my mac account and that does not work. Nor does receiving mail on my mac account on the different computer. I can't.
I've tried resetting my mac account and that has made no difference either.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Right-Click (or Ctrl-Click) on any mailbox and choose Get Info (you can also invoke this window by typing Command-I). Now, in the Account menu, choose the account that isn't working properly. Does Mail display all your messages there, even those that it fails to download?
If the answer is yes, don't close the Get Info window yet. I'm going to propose a solution that will cause all your mail still on the server to be re-downloaded again as if it was all new, no matter how old it is or whether Mail had already downloaded it. Hence, before proceeding, you may want to delete any messages still on the server that you don't want to be downloaded again. You can accomplish this in the Get Info window by selecting the messages you want to permanently delete from the server and clicking the Remove From Server button at the bottom right of the Get Info window.
Now, follow these steps:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, open the HOME/Library/Mail/POP-<account-name>/ folder.
3. Move any files in that folder whose name starts with MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to the Trash.
These files keep track of which messages have already been downloaded, so that Mail does not download them again every time it connects to the server. Moving them out of the account folder causes Mail to forget that information and start downloading from scratch all over again.
For some reason, the information in these files can become inaccurate at some point for people with Comcast accounts. I'm not sure it is a file corruption problem. When these files are the problem, Comcast seems to always be involved. I wonder why your wife has not experienced the same problem, though. Maybe she just hasn't yet or maybe Eudora keeps track of downloaded messages using a different technique...

I have been successfully sending out e-mails to all people listed in a Group Address but yesterday only some of the people received their mail. Today I split the list, 25 in each Group Address, again, the same people did not receive their e-mail. Why?

I have been successfully sending out e-mails each month to about 50 people whose addresses are listed under a Group Name. Yesterday about half of the e-mails were received, the other half weren't. So I tried splitting the group into 2 separate Groups, again the list who didn't receive the first mailing again did not receive the second mailing. There does not seem to be anything that connects the recipients or non-recipients. They have a mix of providers, it was not just the first half of list that was affected, it appears to be totally random. Any suggestions?

Neither of these error message look like they're from Exchange.
Connected to 68.232.130.28 but connection died. (#4.4.2)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue to long.
Are those from NDRs someone in your organization received, or are they from NDRs received by a sender outside your organization?
Is 68.232.130.28 your IP address? The IP address resolves to the name esa2.firstam.iphmx.com. Is that a MX for the recipient's domain?

Using Adobe SendNow and so many people not receiving the mail!

Using adobe sendnow and so many people not receiving the mail! How do you stop or limit the messages going to spam/junk? Is that where they are going? Please help!

There are many hundreds or thousands of different spam filters, so it's impossible to say what triggers them. You can do a test though: send the same file, but for a subject use only "File for ...." and give the person's exact name. No other words. If this gets through, your words unfortunately have been used by too many spammers. (Rather like someone with the misfortune to be called James Viagra - nobody would ever receive their email).

Why do I not receive iCloud e-mails when there is a specific group of "To:" addresses in the body of an e-mail

I noticed this when I started my iCloud e-mail account a few months ago. I am not receiving iCloud e-mails when there is a specific group of "To:" addresses in the body of an e-mail. I can receive the e-mail on my outlook & local cable providor e-mail accounts with all of the addresses listed. If I strip out the "To:" addresses and send it from my local cable providor e-mail account to my iCloud e-mail account than I will receive the e-mail in my iCloud account (minus all of the "To:" addresses that are in the body of the e-mail. This has caused me to miss a lot of e-mails.
Following is one of the e-mail that I can send from my cable providor account and not receive it in iCloud. If I strip out all of the "To:" addresses I will receive it in iCloud. I have a case open with Apple but it is not going anywhere. This occurs from multiple sending internet service providors (ISP's) so I think it's an Apple iCloud e-mail processing issue.

I've been having a very similar problem to what ziemsen describes, for about a week now. The Mail app has stopped delivering new messages to the Inbox, even though I can view the newly incoming messages on the server via Webmail. I am able to send email through Mail with this email account, and as for the other email accounts that I have on Mail (which are also hosted by the same server), I am able to both receive and send email with no problem.
None of the mail settings have been changed, so how this happened all of a sudden is very puzzling. I have checked Account Info on the problem account - Mail recognizes that there are messages that are on the server yet to be downloaded, but it won't download them.
I've checked what other users have suggested here in the Discussions Forum, and tried: 1) deleting the problem Mail account from Mail and re-adding it; 2) creating a new machine User account and setting up Mail with that User; 3) setting up Mail on another machine; 4) archiving and re-installing OS, and even 5) wiping the HD entirely and reinstalling the OS. None of these have worked.
Ernie, your suggestion of deleting the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file sounded like the solution to the problem, so I just tried it - but to no avail. Mail delivers messages that are on the server to my Inbox up until the same point that it always stops at, and there are almost 1000 new messages since then.
I am pretty lost at this point - I have no idea what else I can possibly do to resolve this problem. The strange thing is, when I tested my email accounts on Microsoft Entourage and Mozilla Thunderbird, they don't have this problem - both deliver all of my incoming mail. I may have no choice but to switch to one or the other at this point, but I'm attached to Mail and would really like to continue using it if I can. Any advice would be much much appreciated.
very best,
biteringo

If you're not receiving the email to your rescue email address (and you've checked the spam folder on the account as well as the inbox and tried clicking the reset link again), then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

I purchased the Adobe Export pdf 10 hours ago and have not received the e-mail to confirm my address and password, then I can't use it!

I purchased the Adobe Export pdf 10 hours ago and have not received the e-mail to confirm my address and password, then I can't use it!
The e-mail address is correct and I've consulted the inbox and the trashbox without result. And I don't know how to contact the seller Adobe...

Hi Jose,
After checking your account, I see that you purchased an ExportPDF subscription back in June (under the same email address that you use here in the forums). There are no other subscriptions under that email address.
But, you should be able to log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com using this email address and your password. If not, please let us know.
Best,

I have an estimated ship date of 10/14/2014, for 2 iphone 6 16GB in Silver. Like others I have not received any new details since receiving the order confirmation. Can anyone tell me if my order will ship tomorrow?

I have an estimated ship date of 10/14/2014, for 2 iphone 6(not the plus) 16GB in Silver. Like others I have not received any new details since receiving the order confirmation. Can anyone tell me if my order will ship tomorrow?

I dont mean to rude. but I have seen the same response to others over the past month. I have been keeping up w/ check status from the link provided in my order confirmation. At this point your depts management should be demanding more detailed info on order status. They have you customer service folks answering these question blindly, wasting your time and mine and ultimately costing verizon money which they will pass along to me and the other millions of customers out there. If you cannot give me a more detailed answer please escalate this to someone who can. Thank you.

HT1277 My AOL account will not receive or send mail

My AOL mail account will not receive or send mail. It has a triangle with exclamation point in it next to inbox, when i click on that it says "there may be a problem with mail server to network, check AOL settings". Also says PORT 993 timed out

People not receiving photos

Why are people not receiving photos sent from my ipad

Do you have some sort of small size limit on emails that is imposed by your email provider? All providers have a size limit of some sort, but I don't know of any that would be so limited that you couldn't send a photo.
I wish that I could think of something a bit more specific that could be causing this, but try some really basic troubleshooting steps like closing all apps and reset your iPad. You won't lose any data if you do this. I am assuming that you are running at least iOS 7.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why am I not receiving my AOL mail?

Why am I not receiving my AOL mail? I receive it on my phone and on other computers but not my iMac.

Go Mail - Preferences - Accounts and re-input all the settings for it even if they look OK. From time to time a setting can become corrupt, on the surface it looks fine but underneath it's not OK. If you re-input that will remove the old setting and input a new one and this frequently helps.
