Solution found- messages sent but not received

For those that have had the problem of sending texts on your iPhone, but they are not being received at particular numbers, a friend of mine had success with the following procedure:
1. delete all contacts
2. initiate a message to a problem receipient using xxx-xxx-xxxx within messages itself. Do not make a new contact yet. Do not include a 1 as a preface in the number.
3. If successful, choose "add to contacts", and rebuild your "contacts"
Let me know if this works for you.

Account password reset sent but not received by Outlook.

I have requested a password reset, went through the process and had success at Apples end. Email was sent but not received by the Outlook account email I have been using for years. Outlook is still working fine. Nothing in Junk folder and have added the apple email to contacts (from last reset).
Any ideas?

Contact Apple for assistance resetting the password, either by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or by contacting the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

E6 (Belle) - Phone can sent but not receive emails

Hello,
I have set up a 2nd mailbox. The first mailbox functions fine. But with the second mailbox I can send, but not receive emails.
Has anybody an idea how to solve that?
Many thanks

One more try. The problem here is that I don't have hands-on experience with Belle. Some backtracking... I assume that
1) Your firmware is up to date.
2) Even manually syncing email doesn't work.
3) You are not seeing any error messages that would help us track down the problem.
I did a web search, and found other Belle users complaining about Gmail support, but mostly that push doesn't work reliably. Manually syncing (or polling every X minutes) still does. It's a long thread, but you might want to read http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Messaging-Email-Browsing-and/E-mail-doesn-t-sync-automatically-after... in case any comments help you.
If none of that helps, try enabling logging. Within Nokia Email, I have a logging option under Settings -> Global Settings -> Log Output. It writes at least two files to Phone Memory -> Logs. In my case, one file logged only GUI calls...and so was useless, and the other file was always empty. (A third file applied only to Mail For Exchange.) But give it a try and check the files later for references to Gmail or IMAP. Read them from a computer if that helps, and then post any relevant portions here. Also turn off logging when you're finished.
Again, good luck!

Email sent but not received?

Hi,
I have an email script that is in place in several pages of my website.
I works perfect from every page except one.
I far as I can see in that particular page it does actually send the message but I am just not receiving it, I do receive all other messages from my website.
I have tested the script with echos and the script does run to the mail() script, I have echoed all variables before it and they are all completed and I have placed an if ... else.. clause testing $mailSent, it was confirm as $mailSent = 1, it did not get to the else clause which was !mailSent.
If the message is being sent why would I not receive it when I receive all other messages from other pages, I am at a loss as to what and where to check.
I queried it with my host who could not produce any errors.
Code below.
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Enquiry from mydomain';
$message = "Enquiry from: $name\n\n";
$message .= "Email: $email\n\n";
$message .= "Tel: $tel\n\n";
$message .= "Enquiry: $enquiry";
// limit line length to 70 characters
$message = wordwrap($message, 70);
// create additional headers
$headers = "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: me<[email protected]>';
if (!empty($email)) {
$headers .= "\r\nReply-To: $email";
// send it
$mailSent = @ mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
I look forward to any suggestions.
Thank you in advance.

All,
Thanks for your reply. Worked with Basis as I do not have access to SOST/SCOT in production environment.
@Abdullah: SCOT is correct. For all the e-mail messages the status is green. (Successfully Sent)
@Rick: This is a custom application which triggers workflow. I can see the emails in SOST with status as successful.
@Anjan: No emails in junk folder as well.
@Swadhin: If we send a test email from SOST, it works fine. Me too suspecting the issue with user id. Working on it.
@Rahul: Yes. Some users received the emails. Also email is maintained for WF-BATCH user.
@Mike: Tried testing test email and it worked fine. No filters in SCOT. Exploring more options with basis/security.

Iphone Imessages are Sent But Not received

Problem: Imessage is going using iphone. But Wasn't able to receive in Iphone. But these received message are visible in other devices(Mac or Ipad).
When you upgrade the iOS all the imessage settings are going to be refreshed and the latest and greatest upgrade device settings will be stored at Imessage settings level.
For example, First I upgraded my iphone to iOS 6.0.1 and imessages from iphone is working normal. I was able to send and receive imessages. Next I upgraded my macbook pro to Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) and I used the same Apple Id here. Now, I stopped receiving Imessages in phone, but I'm able to receive in Macbook.
What this means to Iphone Imessages?
I think Imessage setttings at apple server level changed and We need to change it back. When you go to Message Settings> Your phone number is Graded Out and Unchecked. Only Apple ID's and other email ID's are checked.
How and Where to change?
1) Settings>Messages>Send&Receive> Tap on Apple ID
Sign Out
2) Settings>FaceTime> Tap on Apple ID
Sign Out
3) Turn Off the Phone and Turn On Again
Give it some time to save settings at server level(My Guess).
4) Try sending an imessage and check. Make sure Only Imessage is turned on not the SMS from Carrier. At settings level you phone number must be Checked to receive messages on Phone.
5) Login Back to Apple ID. You can select all the accounts that you want to receive imessages.
It helped me to get imessages on my Mobile. Hope it helps you as well.

No one here can tell you what your provider is doing with your messages. Once Thunderbird hands the email off to your providers server it is done. Your provider can track the message and tell you what is happening as it travels through its server. Ask them again but ask for a tech that knows what they are doing.

Mail sent but not received

Dear all,
While sending mail, the status is showing in green but the user is not receiving the mail in the mailbox. The same mail when sent to other user we obtain the result is expected and they are receiving the mails.
Please suggest me as hot face with this issue.
Help is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Piyush

Dear all,
Very thanks for giving your suggestions.
The problem seemed to be with the SMTP server configuration.
We changed the SMTP server in SCOT and thereafter we are not facing any issue.
Thanks a lot again.

Email sent but not received by individuals

Hello,
I am facing an issue in email distribution through WF.
Emails are generated and can be seen in SAP basis inbox. (i.e. you can see the email address/user ids in To field or Cc field). Few of the users are getting email notification in their inbox but few of them are not.
E.g.
In below example <generic_email> users are receiving the email as generic users but others did not.
Also if <userid1> is part of <generic_email> then <userid1> is receiving the email as generic user and not as individual user.
From: WF-BATCH
To: <userid>@domain.com
Cc: <userid1>@domain.com, <generic_email>@domain.com, <userid2>@domain.com, <generic_email1>@domain.com
<Email body>
Request your inputs. Thank you.

Mail Messages Sent but not Stored in Sent Box

As of this morning I have sent probably a dozen or more e-mails but none of them are appearing in my Sent Messages Box. I have tried using both of my computers to send e-mails (which sync via .mac) and I have looked on .mac using my web browser but there is no record that the e-mails were sent (although is appears that they are going through). Any suggestions

Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder in the Finder.
In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level of ~/Library/Mail/. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
Before actually posting that information, edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you should keep private, e.g. replace any real username with “username” to hide your real email address. Other than that, report the file/folder names as accurately as possible.
Now, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. With that folder open, repeat the procedure to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains. Again, you may disguise any mailbox names you wish to keep private. Be careful to not alter any suffixes, though.
Finally, report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/Mac-username/ account folder.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Mail: When body of email contains one particular URL, msg sent but not received

Hello,
I have a MacBook (3 years old) and run Lion. Out of the blue, some of my email messages are not being received, even though they are in my 'sent' folder. After doing some testing, I've figured out that only emails with a certain URL typed in the body of the meswsage are not being received. This is the case whether I use 'www...' or just nameofsite.org.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Quit Mail if it's running. Move the following file in your home folder to the Desktop:
Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Relaunch Mail. It will tell you it has to import your messages. Allow. If successful, delete the file you moved to the Desktop.
Try opening the problem message again.

Texts sent but not received

People are not consistently receiving texts from my 2 month old Samsung Intensity II. The messages show as "sent" on my phone. Those I am texting are also Verizon customers, and the signal strength has been fine. Help!

That's pretty odd. Does your daughter have a large quantity of text messages in her inbox?
Many times if this is the case, then there can be a delay with the messages.
Is she using the texting app that came installed on her phone or did she happen to install a 3rd party texting app?
First, have her clear out the texts she doesn't need.
Then have her go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>select ALL at the top>look for Messaging or SMS> clear cache
Once she has done that, please advise if she is still having problems with her messaging being delayed.

OK, Keychain Access has three Keychains, two of which appear identical right down to Date Modified for each password) and a third called X509 Anchors.
Within each of the two apparently identical Keychains is a single POP3 password for my ISP with my email account number in the info box at the top (when I view the other two users's accounts in Mail preferences, their account numbers are the same as this but suffixed by _2 and _3. But, as I say, the only POP password appearing in Keychain Access is mine. Do you mean I should delete it?

Texts can be sent but not received

My daughters Droid 2 can send texts and sometimes receive them. At other times she stops receiving them and then gets 20 at once that had been sent and never came thru. We just received a replacement phone, the original phone was doing it also. Is it the phone or the service? My son has it happen with his Droid 2 also, he doesn't text as much so we didn't know it was happening right away.

Just setting up. Can send messages ok - but not receive at all - settings checked and ok

Just setting up Thunderbird for the first time. Can send emails fine. Can't receive emails. Have confirmed settings with f2s/TalkTalk and they are correct.
Where to now?

Thanks folks.
To gnospen:
* ''Just a thought. Have you set up this pop-account anywhere else like in your smart-phone? Is that or your old mac running?''
?? I don't use my 'phone for emails, so, no.
* ''"If its set up to download and NOT to keep it on the server, then there isn't anything to download, your smart-phone (whatever) has already downloaded it."''
I don't understand this bit. I just want to use Thunderbird as I used to use Outlook. That is, when TalkTalk tell me I have exceeded my email quota I can download the emails to my machine (a MacBook Pro).
'''''* ''''"I don't understand why you don't use IMAP instead as it can sync much better."'''''''
I don't know the difference. It worked before with Outlook. I was advised by TalkTalk to use POP. (Don't remember being given the option of IMAP.)
====
To zenos:
''* "This is going to be messy as talktalk have grown by acquisition of smaller ISPs and has inherited a large number of disparate email services. (I still have a lineone account myself and have also had tiscali, pipex and f2s in the past.) So we may need to know what domain the OP is on."
We were with f2s - got bought by Opal then TalkTalk.
''* "Having said that, I scrolled through the options and they're all plain un-secured pop (110) and imap (143). So I don't understand why the OP has been steered towards an SSL port for POP3. None of them give "inmail.server.com" etc.
''* "To the OP: Have you tried just setting up the account as a new one, and letting Thunderbird find the settings for itself?"''
This is my first time with Thunderbird. I downloaded and installed the programme, then followed the instructions for setting up. Plus inmail.server.com worked before and I was advised that this was correct. (btw, I presume I'm the OP??)
''* "Do you specifically want POP instead of IMAP? Why? "
As noted above, it worked with Outlook; I was advised that POP settings were correct.
''* "Try setting your POP port to 110 and no security."
Tried that. With pop 110 I get "...sending of password did not succeed. mail server responding: syntax error."
Does this give anybody any further clues?

Gif is animated in Sent folder but not received by others as animated

I've always used Entourage but would like to use Mail if only because it will send animated gifs. I sent one to myself at another (not .mac) address and received it in Entourage but it's quite different from what I sent. gif isn't animated and format is different (text was centered when sent but not received as such). Can anyone help me?
