Says it's receiving new messages, but WON'T

When I open Mail it says it is receiving over 2,000 new messages, but doesn't actually load any new mail. It goes through the loading and everything, but nothing shows up. I tried taking the account offline and back online, as well as removing the account and readding it. Nothing works! Any help?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
In the Mail application, from the Menu Bar, click Mailbox and scroll down and click Rebuild.
And more help here if necessary. http://www.tuaw.com/2006/04/12/mail-slowing-you-down-rebuild-its-database/
From the Apple Help Index. Rebuilding a mailbox can take awhile; it’s recommended for fast Internet connections only.

  • Won't get juno mail messages says there are no new messages but there are.

    I installed Thunderbird for my multiple email accounts. Works fine with yahoo, aol, and Gmail. But, it will not get any messages from my web based Juno account. I've double checked all the settings (pop incoming, port 995, smpt outgoing, SSL encryption, etc.) and nothing works. I keep getting a message saying there are no new messages, but there are multiple new messages in the account. It does send.
    Thanks

    Thunderbird connects to mail providers using the POP and IMAP mail protocols. If the provider does not support these protocols (or blocks access to them for certain customers) then Thunderbird can not work with that provider.
    Have you followed these steps
    To begin getting Juno email on your phone or other email program, change your Juno email settings with these simple steps:
    1. Sign in to your Juno Email on the Web at webmail.juno.com
    2. Click on "Options" and select "General," or click on "Settings" and select "POP Mail" under "Preferences"
    3. Select "ON - POP my mail to my desktop/smartphone"
    4. Click "Save" to finish

  • Mail says I have 38 new messages but there not there

    Yesterday I downloaded new mail...I didn't read them all so i clossed mail and was going to check it later. I opened mail toaday and it still says I have 38 unread messgaes but there not in the inbox; it's empty.
    I really don't need to read the messages but how do I get the mail count in the dock to reset?

    This is what I wanted - thanks.
    Everything looks normal so try the following:
    Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Envelope Index. Delete the Envelope Index file and empty the Trash.
    Launch Mail and you will be prompted to import all mailboxes available within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail.
    Select OK and allow the import process to complete. This isn't really importing anything but replacing the deleted Envelope Index file and re-indexing all mailboxes.
    After confirming all mailboxes are available, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder placed on the Desktop.
    Hopefully this will resolve the problem.
    I'm getting ready to drive home from the coast which is a 4-5 hour drive so I won't be available again until 5:30 or so central time today.

  • LG Lucid 3: How can I get rid of the text message indicator? It says I have a text message, but I do not.

    I have a new LG Lucid 3 and the text message indicator says I have a new message, but I do not. Messaging is empty when I click on it. How can I get rid of the "1" indicator? I tried turning the phone on and off and that did not work.

    Thanks for trying, Anzivina! You've done some strong troubleshooting. Although I do wish it had resolved this matter, I believe we still have options. You've indicated that  you've done a factory reset. Can you walk me through the steps you took to get there? Also, after the factory reset, how long before this message indicator appeared again? Was it before or after you restored all your personal data?

  • HT1338 hello! I need help, how come I can't receive new messages on my mail in my Macbook Pro? but I can receive it on my Iphone4s. thanx!

    hi there! can somebody please help me. I can't receive new messages in my MacBook Pro, what should I do? I can read them in my IPhone though. Thanx!

    Yes I was able to send but not receive - I actually was able to solve it myself
    Everything on the menu bar was greyed out - so nothing there helped me @ all
    Connection Doctor didn't show anything wrong
    activity box was completely blank
    shutdown - restart didn't work
    I used the help option    - still nothing
    All the while my phone was vibrating like crazy with new emails
    It was really frustrating & it seemed apple themselves don't have any real solutions to offer
    My instincts told me to delete the email completely - so I did
    After a few min I added the email account like a new one and it eventually worked - all my new emails were there, I still don't know why it stopped in the 1st place  
    Pretty much all the problems I run into I troubleshoot myself and find the solution

  • Is it possible to setup my Do Not Disturb mode not to vibrate but to let banners appear when I receive new messages?

    Hey!
    I just got a new iPhone 5S and I've been trying to adapt it to my needs.
    I do remember that on my 4S, I only switched between silent (with vibrate) and do not disturb modes.
    When I was using the phone on do not disturb, it did not vibrate but a banner appeared when I received a new SMS or Whatsapp.
    Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this on my new phone.
    Now it seems that I have to choose, when in do not disturb mode, between a completely silent phone (no vibrate and no banners) or a vibrating phone + banners when I receive new messages...
    Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot.
    Thiago

    Thank you for your answer.
    Unfortunately, when I do this DND also disables notification banners... So when I receive a message I don't even know I did...
    I'm going to try to be clearer: when the phone is not in use, it works just as I want it to. When only in Silence mode, it vibrates when I get something new; when on DND mode, it is completely muted.
    My problem is when I'm using the phone on DND mode (for example: on the bed next to my girlfriend who is asleep), I would like to have banners for SMS and Whatsapp, but no vibration, so as to know that I got a message but discretely.
    If I put on Silence notifications > Always, it does not vibrate, which is good, but it doesn't show me that I got a message at all. If i put on Silence notifications > Only while iPhone is locked, it vibrates when I receive a new message

  • Can't receive new messages using "Mail"

    My MacBook Pro's "Mail" stopped receiving new messages!? It appears to be continuously trying to receive messages but nothing comes through. Messages sent to my ".me" account appears on my ipad and ipod but not in my "Mail" Software on my MacBook! All my settings appear to be correct (although i'm no expert). I've tried using "Connection Doctor" and the "Mobile Me" account has a message in the "Details" that says: "Logging into account..." but it never connects! Conversely, the "smtp.me.com..." accounts has a message saying: "Connection and login to server succeeded".
    In addition, I should mention that I can send messages (i.e. they get sent) but the "blue bar" in the "MAIL ACTIVITY" window always stops halfway and never moves again. The message sent also never appears in the "SENT" folder even though i have specified that it should in "Preferences".
    Finally... I cannot quit "Mail" without using "Force Quit".
    What is wrong? How can I fix it?

    Thanks Ernie for attempting to help... the port is set on "993"; the "use SSL" is checked. The "Authentication" is set to "Password". However, I did not know I needed a "password"!? I never used one before when i checked mail!? Anyway, if I need a password to check my mail, how come "mail" does not ask me for one?
    You may want to know that "IMAP Path Prefix" is empty and "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" is checked. I have no idea what theses things mean but that's the way it is. Should anything be changed?

  • Mail thinks it's receiving new mail, but isn't

    I tried this before and got no helpful responses, and am still having issues. When I open Mail it says it is receiving over 2,000 new messages, but doesn't actually load any new mail. It goes through the loading and everything, but nothing shows up. I tried taking the account offline and back online, as well as removing the account and readding it. I have also tried rebuilding. Nothing works! Any help?

    I am having the same problem. I just bought a new MacBook Pro, I have my mail through Apple's MobileMe. Mail will run, says its downloading X of Y messages, but when it is done, there is nothing new in my inbox. Sometimes clicking into another folder and then back to Inbox reveals the new mail. Often, I have to quit mail and reactivate it, then it runs through the "Loading X of Y" again and this time the messages appear...

  • Why can I receive text messages but not send?

    Why can I receive text messages but not send. This has been happening for about 10 hours.

    Thanks for the response. Must be smart phones. My daughter has a dumb phone and she can send out. I tried deleting my text messages on the Verizon website, but they won’t delete. It must be on their end. Chat line was busy forever, until they shut it down.

  • Mute button says "you have no new messages"

    I've been having a problem with my Torch since I downloaded updates to a few apps the other day. Now any time the Mute button on the top right of the Torch is hit, a chime sounds and a few seconds later a woman's voice says "you have no new messages". My phone is always on silent, but the voice and chime still sound at full volume. This happens frequently as the button gets triggered when my phone is in my pocket. Anyone else have this issue, and hopefully know of how to disable it??

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Excellent! Turns out it was caused by BeBuzz, which blackberry was giving away for free as a premium app along with Drive Safe.ly like Bill.J mentioned above. I deleted BeBuzz (first thing I tried deleting thankfully!) Now my mute but works and I don't get the "you have no new messages" voice. Thank you Krypto and BillJ, your help was very much appreciated, that voice was driving me nuts!

  • TS3276 Mail not receiving new messages

    I just purchased my MacBook Air 13 in last week.  Love it, but I am having a problem with Mail.  I use Google mail for my work, and it sends fine.  It also comes through fine some of the time, but after a time, it stops receiving new messages.  I notice, as I continue to get them on my phone.  Once I 'exit mail' and then reopen, they all suddenly come through. 
    Any idea what I can do to fix this?

    Same issue. Not found a fix other than restarting mail.

  • Transferred all ok, receiving new emails but inbox...

    Hi,
    Transferred all ok, receiving new emails but inbox only showing past 7 days worth of mail... how can I retrieve last two months!
    Transferred on my imac (mail for mac) and iphone with no real issues, sub folders all ok.. but I can only see past 7 days worth of mail in my inbox.  
    Is there any way I can retreive older messages as bt web mail is the same... goes back to the 7th only!
    Cheers\

    Yes this has happened many times now judging by the posts that I have read. I do think the mods should investigate just what is happening here with holding for an hour or so only to be told that "You are number 2 in the queue." and then to be cut off - this is truly mindblowingly awful. There is no wonder that people lose their rag on this forum occasionally about this lack of care.
    Mistakes and embarrasing goofs in e-mails are only discovered when you've sent them!
