Receiving mail

Does anyone know how to connect IPOD Touch to Tiscali mail in the UK. I use Outlook 2003 and have manually inserted and synced from a laptop the account details across to the Touch.
It keeps saying 'cannot download mail - incorrect user name or password' when I am using exactly the same setings on a desktop and laptop, and getting mail OK.
Do I need to do something more to send/receive mail on the Touch?
Thanks,
Paul

Ian - Yes the internet works OK - ordered 4 books from Amazon no problem.
Also I can access my Yahoo e mail account. I have tried manually setting up Tiscali and syncing the details dirctly from the laptop. Neither seem to work.
I sent an email to Tiscali - but after promising a response within 24 hours I have heard nothing.

I cannot send out emails from my iPad,says my email address was rejectected by server. I am receiving mail, but can't send?

When sending emails from iPad,I get message: email was rejected by server. I am receiving mail to rejected email address

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

Cannot receive mail from .Mac account on port 143

I use my laptop at work. I used to have a 12" Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.3. I had no problem receiving mail from my .Mac account. Now, and all of a sudden, I can no longer receive my .Mac mail using the Mail app. The error I get is:
The server "mail.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143.
I called AppleCare about this issue last night and they told me to perform the following steps:
1. Choose .Mac in System Preferences and delete my username and password from the Account tab.
2. Move com.apple.mail.plist and the Mail folder from my ~/Library folder to the desktop.
3. Restart the Mail app and re-import the Mail folder from the desktop. I was told not to directly copy the Mail folder from the desktop into the ~/Library folder.
4. Go back into .Mac in System Preferences and re-enter my account information.
According to AppleCare, things should now work. But there's a little problem with this "solution." I spoke with my network admin and he told me that incoming traffic on port 143 is blocked. That being the case, I fail to see how any of the above steps will solve my problem. It seems nothing more than an issue of trying to get my network admin to open port 143 and he seems reluctant to do that.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard

I've solved this problem. Well, actually, I didn't do anything other than:
1) Rebooting my computer, then...
2) Following the instructions at the top of the following thread to re-create my email accounts (I had two):
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1598309#1598309
Not sure what this fixed, and how I got into this issue in the first place.
I had four or five days worth of email to come in... it took...
...a...
...long...
...time...
But its looking like its working.
A few things I tried, and although they didn't have an immediate effect to fix the connection refused problem, they might have kicked something to start something working again:
1) Created a new 'test' user on the system, restarted, logged in as that user, and started Mail.app setting it up with .Mac settings (it was after this everything worked)
2) Changed SSL ports in the accounts settings (no difference)
3) Turned firewall on and off (no difference)
4) Attempted to use Thunderbird to read .Mac email as IMAP mailbox (didn't work)
Hope this rather obvious help helps anyone else

TS3276 Mail account set up. Can not receive mail-Everything is green in Connection doctor but when checking activity it shows stop signs. Was able to receive mail until last week then all of a sudden stopped receiving mail but no changes were made.

My mail account has been set up and working to send and receive mail for several months. All of a sudden I can not receive mail. The connection doctor shows all green lights. No changes have been made and nothing has been changed on preferences on IMAP and SMTP. I can send mail. My other accounts all send and receive mail. When you click on activity the list shows stop signs. All accounts show that they are online.

UPDATE:
I deleted all the messages off the server of the offending email address and everything works fine now.

Can't receive mail from icloud

I've literally tried everything. both on my iCloud account on my chrome browser AND in my Apple Mail, it just suddenly stopped sending my mail yesterday morning and hasn't since. Online it returns an error message after trying to receive mail 2-3 minutes. I really need my mail. Thanks for the help.

Yes, it's a massive problem here too. This has been going on for 2 days at least. Today I have only received one of the four emails that were sent to me. Yesterday I received only half of them. My Google email account is fine but that doesn't really help me as loads of my friends and clients use the iCloud account. Why isn't Apple explaining why this is - there are lots of complaints on the web about this.

What kind of mail accounts do you have -- POP, IMAP, Exchange?

I have 3 mail accounts in apple mail. One of them has had the spinning ball going for several days and I cannot receive mail in this account or delete messages etc. For some reason, I CAN send mail on Apple mail using this account, although it takes several minutes. I can receive mail in this account on my iPad and by signing into aol on safari and internet explorer on my office PC. It's obviously a glitch in Apple's Mail. I've deleted this account and reopened it in Mail on my Mac Pro with no difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this E amil account is major to my business.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
sounds like a corrupt database or index
the glitch is your home folder and mail folder, esp look at syncservices
I'd post in the mail or Lion forum where you will find similar issues being discussed.

My Mac has stopped receiving mail. Mail is still coming through to my iPhone and my wife's iPad but is not appearing on my mac. I have mail from today on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the Mac. I have not touched any settings. Can anyone adv

My Mac has stopped receiving mail. I have a mac.com address. Mail is still coming through to my iphone and my wife's ipad but nothing is coming through to my imac.I have mail from half an hour ago on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the mac. Everythng was working fine until recently and I have not touched any settings! Can anyone help?

So I tried something else recently and it seems to have fixed the issue. My mail is now getting new mail again and refreshing after waking from sleep without having to restart mail. Give it a try and hopefully it will help you too.
First, make sure your Mailbox List is visible (Shift + Control + M). Then select all of your inboxes, mailboxes, and folders (not just the root folder for nested folders, make sure to select them all). Then under the "Mailbox" menu, select "Rebuild."
It may take a while to rebuild them all if you have a lot, but like I said it seems to have done the trick for me. I hope that proves to be more of a long-term solution.

After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know

Phone Model and OS
Model - iphone 5
IOS 8.0.2
Problem Description
After enabling cellular data, i am receiving mails even if we disable "use cellular data for mail", due to this data usage usage use is more, if we have fix please let me know.
Steps:
1. Enable Cellular Data
2. Disable mail on "use cellular data for mail
3. check whether mail is received or not
tried multiple times and i am getting more billing amount because of data usage

Mail isn't the only app using data. Turning it off there has no effect whatsoever on whether the rest of iOS or other apps you have installed. In fact most apps use data these days, at a minimum for Notifications and often for gameplay and other features.

How can I set up my mail account to receive mail?

I have a brand new imac i'sight 3.06 Ghz, 500GB etc. I have added my UK hotmail email account to the mail application and I am able to send email directly from the application from my hotmail mailbox, but when i press 'Get new mail' the bar flashes and shows that I am receiving mail but I cannot see it in the inbox.
Can anyone help?
I can send email, but I cannot see email in my inbox.
Thanks
J

I don't have Hotmail, but generally, web based email accounts need to be set up within that account (in this case Hotmail) - you need to go to your Hotmail account and check if it can be set up as an IMAP or POP account with emails automatically being forwarded to Mail. Hopefully someone with a Hotmail account will chime in with more specific info; in the meantime, check out the options in your account there.

How can I receive mail not addressed to me?

This is a security question. Have any of you been receiving mail not addressed to you?
Lately, after the installation of MacOSX 10.4.10 on her G4 PowerBook, a family member has been receiving letters in Apple Mail not addressed to her. Had they arrived by mail, they should have been moved to her Junk Folder by her junk filter.
At first this alarmed me greatly (well, it still does): I removed her computer from the internet & performed examinations for break-ins; for I believed these letters were not mailed, but inserted into her inbox. Because she doesn't believe in security, I was limited to examining logs, and scanning her computer in firewire target disk mode. Both MacScan and ClamXav revealed nothing.
Puzzle 1: About a month ago, there appeared a finder image (happy blue face) at the bottom of her desktop (which is a unique grey-green designed by me). This disappeared in a day or two, at 5:00p on the dot, suggesting an application was involved. When I checked the logs at the exact date & time of desktop photo switches, there was an hiatus (which could have been natural).
Puzzle 2: Today she again received a letter not addressed to her, but to '[email protected]'. (I sent a letter from a mail alias to this address, but it did not appear in her mailbox.) The letter, by the way, was a phish from Germany, so I reported it immediately to Spam Cop. An addendum to this question contains the header of this letter, with the real person's name replaced by [email protected]. (Nothing here need be removed by a moderator.)
Has anyone an explanation for either of these puzzles? I think they're both important. (Before the internet was released upon the public, Postmasters would read the recipient and subject lines of dead letters, then forward them to whoever they thought it was for. 'Krystal2' has no relation to 'correctname', so that's unlikely.) Also, my wife has allowed me to secure her computer better, and no problems similar to 1 or 2 has ever appeared. Thanks very much for any ideas!
Bruce

David,
Sorry, migraine over the holidays. Thank you: you're right! The reason I don't get any like this is because the SPAM must apparently use RFC822. This protocol appears deprecated. It appears stamped on some mail initially sent by Apple, but not others.
Thank you very much, for these have been concerning me. I'm used to seeing my name stamped by each relaying computer. A test letter I sent from my local ISP with a BCC to myself at a school across the country stamped my name at each step.
Your first sentence is slightly ambiguous. In my opinion, any problem whose only explanation at the moment is a security breach is then a security problem, and should be treated immediately as such. The Finder's image is still one.
Thanks again.
Bruce

Hello Naila1,
It sounds like you are unable to send emails, as they go straight to the outbox, but you can get the emails without issue. I recommend using the Connection Doctor to help you troubleshoot what is happening with the following article:

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.
