Re-downloading Hotmail messages

A friend has managed to delete all her mail from her Hotmail account that was showing in Mail.app
Luckily the mail is still showing in her actual Hotmail account.
How can she 'force' Mail.app to re-download the messages from Hotmail.
Thanks!

I 99.9% of time use gmail much better than Hotmail.

Sync is associated with IMAP email. It is an email standard and not a Thunderbird thing.
Maybe you need to learn the difference between IMAP and POP email.

Problems downloading Hotmail messages in Mail

I am having difficulty downloading my Hotmail email messages into Mail. I have just started using my MBP for this purpose and find that email messages until May this year have been downloaded, but past that it appears that there are 210 messages to download, but the machine is not responding. Indeed, it appears to be hanging, with the transfer rate at 0 kB/s.
Please help.

had the same problem and solved it!!!
I've posted the solution here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2705264?start=15&tstart=0

i would suggest deleting and readding the mail account in settings > mail contacts calendars

New mail in Gmail doesn't apper on iphone 4s without forcing it to download new messages

New mails in GMail doesn't appear on iPhone 4S without forcing it to download new messages
I was using hotmail in my iPhone 4S but many people suggested me to use GMail account because it is good for Syncing. I also have Mac so i ditched the hotmail and configured GMail account. Now everything works fine on my Mac but not in my iPhone 4S. When a new email comes to my inbox, my Mac display it normally but as far as my iPhone 4S is concerned, it doesn't show even a notification. However when i force it to download the new message by clicking the cricular arrow, it load them and shows them as well. It is not normal because it should do the same thing automatically, not manually. Do you know,how to fix it? AOL mail comes right though, both have the same settings.

DId you try, settings, notifications?
under your gmail or whatever mail you have you can choose to fetch every 15 minutes, hour, or manually. Sounds like you are on manually, when you open your email.
MAnually does save battery though.

GMail IMAP account won't download new messages - still can send

Really bizzare bug...I use Mail with two accounts setup, both of which are GMail Imap accounts. Since yesterday I have not been able to download new messages for my inbox whenever Mail has been opened already.
When I first open Mail, it seems to sync correctly and get new messages, but after it's been open if anyone sends me a new message, Mail fails to download the message. Manually clicking "Get New Mail" or using the "Get All New Mail" from menu doesn't seem to help.
Rebuilding my Inbox does help in that it syncs my inbox back up, but after that it doesn't download messages like it's supposed to every minute (preference setting).
Can't think of anything majorly different that I've done in the last day, although I did install RC1 of "Things"....
I'm on OS X version 10.5.6

Has anyone actually done this and had it work? I'm a little anxious to try it given the "Jeez. Good catch..."
If this fix works, why does it work?
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.4 and Mail 3.3 on a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM.
I'm not sure that there is a connection, but Mail stopped downloading email from all my various email accounts shortly after I added a new IMAP account. I've now got 3 active IMAP accounts (one is Gmail), an inactive HTTPMail acct (hotmail) and an inactive POP acct.
I have tried taking all accts offline and bringing all back online at once and each individually. I have quit Mail and re-launched it. I have tried rebuilding each acct's inbox. I have tired re-launching after deactivating all accts but one. None of this has worked. If I click on "Get Mail", the pinwheels spin next to each acct inbox for a second, but no new mail appears.
What is really strange that one or two emails might download from any given account on any given day, but that's it. The one or two new emails that might appear from time to time appear to do so over night - I get up in the morning to check my email and discover at most one or two new emails, even though when I check the accts by webmail there are dozens of new emails between the three accts.
God, I HATE webmail!
When relaunching or taking the Gmail acct online I sometimes get an error message that it's certificate is invalid. I find this hard to believe as Google is no penny-anty operation, but I clikc "connect" and still no new email.

"Download Error" message in desktop app

Had an issue with updated payment info not taking a little while back. Found out when the desktop app gave me the "download error" message and to contact customer service. Got the billing info squared away but the download error message I'm getting is still all I can get on the desktop app.
I've tried signing out and signing back in, uninstalling the desktop app and reinstalling and still no joy. Anyone else having this issue? Or any insight as to what else I can try?
Thanks

What browser, and have you tried with your firewall temporarily disabled?

Can not open 45 downloaded mail messages in newly created account in iphone 4s

Hi I have added my email account(force 9) to my new iphone 4s. It has downloaded 45 messages, but when I open Mail icon it goes to the Welcome to Mail screen to set up new mail account and I cant access the messages or stop them coming in.
Please help this novice

Did you ever figure this out? I just got a new iPhone and am having the same problem.

Mail downloads all messages– how to stop it

Using OS 10.9.1 now, but this behavior is for previous OS versions, as well.
I use Mail with Yahoo IMAP, and it downloads all messages to my hard drive. Can I set it not to do that? The preferenences are set to " Check for new messages manually" and have been for years, but it still downloads every message. Is the "checking" process independent of the downloading of messages? I kind of thought I could control these two processes. In other words, can I set Mail to download only the messages that are less than one year old or to show the messages, but not download them? I know I can use the web to view without downloading, but here in China, the web is sometimes "off" for Yahoo, while a mail client can still show Yahoo email, so it is often necessary to use the Mail app to see email. I just don't need them saved to my hard drive.

I was searching to see if Apple Mail and Yahoo Imap downloads everything when I came across your post! While I like that, it would be good if someone could tell us where the setting/option is for it.
Perhaps in Yahoo itself? Nah! That doesn't make sense. It should be on the client side (if I have my terminology correct!)

Mail App stopped downloading new messages from Gmail

I'm using MBP with OS X Lion.
I've been using Mail App for my two Gmail accounts. I also use two different types of mail downloading systems (POP and IMAP) for them. For some reason, the speed of downloading new messages started slowing down a few weeks ago; however, I could still use it until today. Today, it seems like it is completely out.
It just stopped downloading new messages completely.
For the POP account, it says:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “POP” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop.gmail.com” on port 995 timed out.
For the IMAP account, it says:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “IMAP” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop.gmail.com” on port 993 timed out.
The weird part is that I can still send an email out of those accounts fine.
I checked the settings for Gmail, and everything seemed just fine.
I tried to re-do everything so deleted the IMAP account. Now it shows the message below:
The Google IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
I tried Connection Doctor and it shows as below:
I followed the suggestion by changing unchecking those boxes for SSL, but it didn't help either.
I tried "Rebuild" under mail box menu bar but it also didn't do anything.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thank you in advance.

By the way, my Mail App is version 5.3

HT201272 My iPhone won't download music from iCloud only apps. The songs appear to download, then give a download error message just before it finishes. Also the songs won't transfer when I sync the phone to pc, only the apps.

My iPhone only downloads apps from iCloud, the songs get almost finish then I get a download error message. Also the only thing that syncs are the apps, not the music when I sync on pc?

Hi,
I experienced the same issue as you have. What worked for me is the following:
Go to iTunes store on your iPad. Under Downloads (the icon to the bottom right) you should see the episode that is causing you the issue. Delete this episode (swipe to left). Then retry. This worked for me.
The workaround is far from ideal and Apple needs to find a solution for this as you are not the only one who reported this issue.

MAIL: Trying to settle long-lasting problem. Mail always immediately downloads the messages I delete from any IMAP mailbox. I'm running out of HD space!

BACKGROUND
I only have 60GB of space on my MacBook Air. Currently, three long-standing IMAP accounts are taking up over 7GB of it!
I have seen several related discussions about this kind of problem, but they all seem to have been solved or glossed over with setting up the IMAP interaction so that messages are deleted from the server in addition to the device or with a "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For" fix that doesn't work for me. I like being able to save all of my email history on servers (I'm often surprised by how many years back I have to search to find a piece of information I need), but I can no longer stand losing so much of my very limited local space to really old mail.
PROBLEM
I'll refer to just one of the relevant accounts as "Gmail," since that's in parentheses when seen in these screenshots. These are its current Mailbox Behaviors settings:
Under my Gmail Inbox in Mail, I have deleted every message from before 2013. The mail from 2013 is all that I want stored on my MacBook Air.
Ultimately, I think this has something to do with the Archive (seen in the sidebar above, as well). Even when I've deleted everything from before 2013 in my Inbox, AND emptied the entire contents of Trash manually, the Archive still contains all of the mail from the server (yes, this account was started in 2011, but I have others that go back much further).
The cherry on top is that when I delete the same messages from the Archive as I've deleted from the Inbox, Mail immediately begins re-downloading all of those messages. Last time I tried this my laptop had to download 23000 messages, but here's a screenshot of proof with a smaller sample:
In case my Gmail server settings are useful to consider, here they are:
Final Notes
• There's a lot that I don't know about exactly how IMAP communication occurs between a device and a server. For my sake and the sake of anyone else who needs this kind of help, please clarify terms like "flags" and "archive" (since Gmail and Mail both use the term and I don't know think they mean exactly the same thing) if/when you use them.
• If anyone does think that there's some sort of "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For" solution to this, you should know that no matter what I have selected in Mail's sidebar (at no matter what level of indentation), the options available under that menu item are always grayed-out.
• I want to keep using Mail. There's a lot that I like about it and I don't want to switch to Thunderbird or something else (remember, I need to save as much local space as I can).
• I just upgraded to 10.9.0 Mavericks, but this problem has existed for me and behaved essentially just like this as long as I can remember. In fact, I think I recall the problem still existing before there was an Archive in the sidebar at all.

UPDATE
I still have the problem, but when I checked on this post to see if anyone had commented and I simply hadn't received an e-mail, I noticed that all but the last of the images I included have stopped displaying (I had friends check, too). Most of them were just visual examples of what I was explaining in hopes of giving context and all available info that I may not have personally viewed as relevant, but the first one, about my account's Mailbox Behaviors settings sure is important. These are the settings I have:
• Store draft messages on the server — Check
• Store sent messages on the server — Check
• Delete sent messages — One month old
• Store junk messages on the server — Check
• Delete junk messages — One week old
• Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox — Grayed-out and Check
• Store deleted messages on the server — Grayed-out and Check
• Permanently erase deleted messages when — Quitting Mail
I hope this helps. Please comment if I'm leaving out any other important information.

Cancel the download and then immediately right click and choose retry.

Download error, message body could not be downloaded

Someone please help me with this. I've had the Q10 since it came out and ever since I've had it there are emails that will just not open. These emails are simple text emails. I thought this was normal and didn't think anything of it until I spoke to a coworker who also has a Q10 and he is not having the same issue. So I searched high and low to try and find a solution and nothing.
To be clear this only happens to a few emails.
I tried pulling the battery.
I tried software updates. I am running BB 10 OS Software Release 10.1.0.238. Nothing better then this available.
I tried deleting anything older emails since I did see somewhere in my search for an answer that there maybe an old email with odd characters causing the issue.
Still nothing.
When I open the email I get the header info i.e.. Who it was sent to, from and subject. I get the flower with the word image001.jpg and the size of the file (again this is a txt file no images). And in the middle of the screen I get the circle going around for about a minute as if it's loading and then the error pops up;
Download Error
Message body could not be downloaded
Cancel OK
hitting Cancel or OK just brings me back to my list of emails
Any suggestions of fixes would be appreciated.
