[SOLVED]Mutt will not show new incoming mails

Hello,
I set up on my box Mutt + offlineimap + msmstp with my gmail account.
msmtp is working fine, offlineimap is croned to run each 3 mn and do its job, as it fetch new mails.
My issue is that I do not see the new emails coming on my terminal. If I don't type <gg> (go to top of index), I will not see the new incoming mails.
This issue seems to me new (a few days), so maybe did I changed some config line or did a package upgrade modified some behavior.
On request I can post my muttrc and offlineimaprc.
Thank you for any help.

I added these two lines in my muttrc:
set mail_check = 5
set mail_check_recent = yes
But it didn't changed anything. I still need to return <gg>.
Intuitively, my first idea was that Mutt didn't know where to look at to see if new mails are here. As I am not an experienced user, my config files may certainly contain errors, even if I spent days to write them. But if Mutt doesn't know where to look at, it shouldn't show new emails when I go to top of index.

Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends OK. Mail server is working

Hello
As I said above, Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends mails OK. The Mail server is working because my iPad is receiving and displaying incoming messages.
Your advice is most welcome.
Thanks!

Thunderbird successfully displays all of my e-mail accounts in the list of accounts and displays all of the inboxes correctly however it doesn't display the e-mails at my newest address in the unified inbox. To see them, I have to click on that particular e-mail accounts inbox. In every way, this account appears to be set up the same as the all the other ones. The newest e-mail account is a second account through Zoho. What do you think is the problem?

Thank you. I had to select the search from the menu instead og by right clicking but it worked just the same.

BCC will not show recipients in Mail app - for IMAP client user

Our office iMac was just upgraded to Mavericks. The Apple mail app (which we use via IMAP to receive our gmail) will not show BCC recipients on sent mail. Not sure what other info you might need.
Yes it did work prior to Mavericks upgrade --lots of other quirks that are just user preference issues but this is by far a concern because we need to keep track of school sent emails. So far the only solution has been to use the gmail client via web interface -- hoping there is a different solution!
Thanks for any help

John -- Thank you for your reply.
When we send the email we (our user end) can see the recipients in the BCC field (good)
When the email is delivered they (the recipient) cannot see all the other emails (good)
"Susie" (who was on our original BCC list as a recipient) calls and says I did not get the email - We go to our sent folder and click on the sent email to verify the email address we used but (and here's the issue) it says "No recipients"
Prior to installing OSX Mavericks -- it listed ALL the recipients in our sent folder copy of the email (this was very helpful to us)
To date the ONLY solution has been to use the web version of gmail -- My question is (and please know I have done a number of checks on this process) Why did it work BEFORE upgrading to Mavericks and why does it not work NOW? Our school secretary is convinced it is "my fault" for upgrading the system -- I am convinced there is a user error since she NEVER lists anyone in the TO field
She will NOT use the web interface because it takes "too much time" -- for this my response is -- then fix it yourself! (Sorry 10 days left of school -- tech coordinator frustration creeping in -- tired of id10t erros -- should have waited to upgrade until no one was around and NOT tell them!)

Itunes library will not show new music

Since downloading itunes 11 my library will not show newly downloaded music. That includes music that was purchased from the itunes store. Has anyone else had this issue?

Some people have had success with turning off iTunes Match or logging out of the itunes store and logging in again

RoboHelp for Word will not show new .WMF graphics

I am working on a help file, and I have to insert equations that I would like to attach pop-ups to. I add the .wmf graphic and add the pop-up, but when I compile the image is not there. This is an older file that was converted over to Robohelp for word and it has .wmf graphics that compile. The only ones that do not show up are the new ones I add to the project. There is just a blank space where the graphic should be. The only way I can get the graphic to show is to convert it into a .shg graphic and then it works. I don't want to keep converting the .wmf file to .shg it is just a waste of time, and it makes my image folder double in size. I have tried inserting the equation as an object in word, but that will not allow me to link it to a pop-up and still have the equation there. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Peter and Brian, THANKS so much! RoboHelp for Word is working
now.
Peter, your advice to install RoboHelp AFTER installing Word
was key in solving this problem.
For a quick summary of the result -- our Help Desk
uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook, Word, and RoboHelp. Then they
reinstalled Word and Outlook; needed to change an "Advanced"
setting in outlook; to get Word to stop giving me the error
messages, they needed to redo my user profile. Then after I was
confident that Word and Outlook were working correctly, this
afternoon I installed RoboHelp X5 via my CD, and then downloaded
and installed these two patches from Adobe.com:
- rho_x501.exe (for the RH Office Word 2003 Support Update)
- rho13_x502.exe (for the Microsoft XP Service Pack 2 Support
Update X5.0.2).
I'm so thankful that RoboHTML and RoboHelp for Word seem to
be working well! Thanks again!
Janice
P.S. I do have one more question about a patch that I've not
yet loaded, but I'll post that under a separate subject.

IPhone will not show new email in folders other than Inbox on Yahoo

Hello,
I have setup Yahoo email account. I have several folders within my yahoo account (15+), now the new email notification ( sound and new email icon ) works only on Inbox, If I have new email in my other folder, iPhone will not notify unless I go inside that folder.
Has anyone seen this problem and is there a workaround ?
I am sorry if I am repeating the Q, I searched here but did not find this Q?
thanks

Icloud will not show new apple id

I have changed my email address and also my apple id and password for iphone and ipad including iTunes but not icloud and updated to IOS 8.1. Although icloud shows the old email address as the apple id, it will not take what my records reflect is the old password and says that password is incorrect.. icloud does show my new email address as the primary email. icloud will also not allow me to use the new password with the old email, and if I try to reset the old password, it will not let me use the new password since it says I can't use one that's been used within a year. I have the new apple id and new password everywhere but icloud--what can I do to make icloud correct without changing the password again? URGENT the old email address may be terminated at any time.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. You should then be able to delete the account. (If you have photo stream photos that you want to save, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account.) When you're done, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and recreate your current ID again.

Iphone will not show new message alert for email sent to subfolders

I have successfully synced my iphone with the exchange server so I am getting push email from entourage to my phone. However I have subfolders set up in entourage so that my email is organised. These subfolders are showing on my iphone. Although email sent to subfolders is pushed to the iphone (to the relevant subfolders), when the phone is on the home screen it does not show a new mail alert for those emails. It only shows a new mail alert for emails going to the main inbox. Obviously I need it to alert me if email is coming in to subfolders. Can anyone help with setting this up?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

IMAP will not show newest e-mail.

When I check Mail with IMAP the iPhone downloads all messages but doesn't seem to display the newest first! ???
I am helping two users set up their iPhones and they both check mail from the same server just different accounts.
IMAP -- When I set them up to check via IMAP they can't see the newest messages on their phones. They each have about 500 e-mails in their inbox but all they really need to see are the most recent ones.
POP -- When I connect them via POP they can't open attachments or it takes a TREMENDOUS amount of time. I keep getting =_NextPart and some numbers in the place of my mail or attachment.

Well that narrows it down now that I know it's not the iPhone necessarily but the order in which my IMAP server pushes the e-mails.
When the iPhone (or any other client) requests mail, the server seems to send random e-mails to the client until the request is fully completed. I've noticed that the iPhone will get mail in splurges. 150 here 6 there another 50. etc. I have to hit update serveral times to get it to see all of the mail, even then it sorts really strangely. It's like it receives messages -> parses 25 of them at a time -> sorts and displays those 25. So even though in the background it's "seeing" that there's more e-mail on the server it will only sort the first 25 it received.
The workaround so far has been to use POP e-mail which is frustrating as well.
When I use POP I'm having trouble with the phone taking crazy amounts of time to render an e-mail or attachment. (particularly those with excel attachments). On the SAME EXACT e-mail sometimes it will pop right up, other times it will take hours. I can't be sure if it's still downloading the message/attachment either because normally when you touch a large attachment it will show you the progress as it's being downloaded. This issue happens after that point with the little swirly showing you the item is being loaded.
The really strange part is the e-mails and messages this happens to don't correlate in size at all. Last one liner message with a 15k excel attachment took 5 hours to open. (all in the same try.) Later I used the same e-mail as a benchmark and tried opening it over and over. Sometimes it would open right away, sometimes it would take 10 minutes or more (didn't want to wait hours though).
The bottom line is this is happening too often. If it was once in awhile it wouldn't be worth complaining about, but this coupled with IMAP handling issues are starting to pick at me.
Would it be worth my while to have all e-mail forwarded to another account that the iPhone could check exclusively. Say a .mac account? Do these phones come with .mac accounts?
I'm starting to run out of ideas.

My iphone will not show my yahoo mail.

Starting this morning, my iphone stopped bringing in new mail.
It would say that it was "checking for mail". It would even say "downloading 1 of 1". But nothing new showed up.
I tried to sync my phone. I deleted my yahoo account off of my phone and re added it three times.
Now all I see is the grid for the emails. And it is blank. Earlier tonight it was a message saying I had 37 email in my inbox and to click to load more. But it would not load them. ARGH...
Is this a yahoo thing or iphone?
My husband's is working fine.
Thanks.

I've noticed this problem two days ago. I have already deleted the yahoo account and added it again, and now I don't even see the emails that were in my mailbox.
On a blank screen I read: Load more messages... (underneath) 8 messages total, 0 unread.
Any suggestion other than deleting adding the yahoo account?
Thanks
Jorge

Mail will not receive any incoming mail from either of my 5 accounts

I have not been able to receive mail to my leopard mail.app for quite some time now... which is odd, as I can easily receive mail to my iphone on all the same accounts.
I thought at one point it was pgp, but now when I have completely re-installed leopard and manually moved mailboxes over, I still have same problem.
Anybody out there with a similar problem, solution?
Thanks

Thank you!
Well that is exactly it, nothing happened... when using connection doctor, it would say something like 'cannot connect to server' or something other, which is odd, since I have had this setup running for ages on all accounts nothing was new.
I could send at times with a long delay, but had not been able to pull down messages for good 2 weeks, and prior to that, it seemed that on some networks I could pull down, but on others I could not. (taking into consideration that I am travelling all the time, and use probably 20 different wifi's pr week)
Anyhows, after browsing the net most of today without finding much of anything, I just figured that my mail folder must just be a tad bloated (well I had more than 16000 sent messages). So I moved all my sent messages to a seperate folder, and deleted all my mail accounts, but kept my mail in folders.
Did a new setup of so far 2 of the email addresses, and they are running fine.
But can mail actually get too bloated, what is the limit?
Thanks again.

Imovie will not show new photos from iphoto?

The imovie project I'm working on needs several photos that I recently downloaded. However when going into the photo section of imovie these new photos do not appear in the album that they have been placed in.
Is there anyway to get them to appear?
Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It's a while since i used v5 but I think this is true.
Whereas with early version of iPhoto there was a separate folder for each album, starting at v5 the app doesn;t do that. Instead the album information is stored as part of the main database file. At heart, it's a direction to the app to display certain pics together. The advantage being that a single pics can be many, many albums with no wasted disk space.

This wasnt a prob until today didnt do anything new or download anything new.

Under "Mailbox" did you try "Rebuild"?

HT5429 I have recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand and transited for 6 hours in China. Since returning to the UK my maps app on Iphone 5 will not show my surroundings in hybrid or satellite. How can i get this back?

I have recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand and transited for 6 hours in China. Since returning to the UK my maps app on Iphone 5 will not show my surroundings in hybrid or satellite. I have also noticed that the data from section that usually displays data from TOM TOM and others now just says others. Has anyone encountered this before or know how to get the Satellite function on maps back?

Your phone is "stuck" in the Chinese version of maps. This also happened to me once I got back from China recently. I believe I solved the problem by logging out of iCloud and reloging in.
BTW the App Store app was also stuck in China. It only displayed Chinese characters and I had to log out and relogin.
Hope this helps.

My new mac book air will not show old emails. how can i fix this problem

my new mac book air will not show old emails. how can i fix this problem

The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.
