Some email not making it through sometimes, other times no problem

I have a user on my server who complains that sometimes she receives email from a particular person and sometimes not. She receives all other email just fine. I need help trying to diagnose why some of those messages just disappear.
In Server Admin, mail filtering is set to deliver spam, but change the subject line to include * SPAM * so my thought is the message should be arriving one way or another. I've set all logging levels to debug in the Mail services section. I searched through some log files looking for the particular email address, hoping to find a reason it was ignored sometimes, no luck.
Can someone help me find out why some messages from that outsider get delivered and sometimes not?
Thank you!!!

Check the client's mail tool (as was mentioned) for its spam filtering settings, and check the details of these lost or missing messages from the sender's end (eg: have the sender forward one of the lost messages to another user), and have the sender replicate the messages to another address for a while (other than to this user), and investigate the contents of the particular messages (to see if there's something tripping spam filtering), and investigate white-listing the sender for the particular client.
I'd also take a look at the version of the client's mail tool (for upgrades or fixes not covered by, for instance, Mac OS X upgrades), and at the configuration of the client system and the client mailer.
It's quite possible to set up message processing rules in most mail clients, and these can cause mail messages to appear lost if the rules are forgotten or miscoded.
It's possible that the mail is going into the bit-bucket at the sender's end of the connection. There are tools which scan out-bound SMTP messages in place at the firewall within some organizations. And there are buggy SMTP servers around. (Hence the earlier suggestion to replicate future messages to multiple receivers.)
Further down the chain of what most folks want to look at are the SMTP logs. Feasible, but somewhat more work than I'd want to start with.

Force the phone into recovery mode and restore it. Do NOT restore your backup. The restriction settings are part of the backup. If you can't remember the restriction passcode, there's no other way around it.

Some emails not getting through, in and out

Hello,
I've seen some discussion about this but no real answers.
This problem seems to be getting worst for me. When I send emails, some go through and others dont and when I receive emails sometimes I am told by someone they sent me an email and I do not receive it. Sometimes the same person sends me two emails, I receive one and not the other.
I think there might be a relationship between the domain name in the email adress and if their is a problem or not with sending/receiving emails...
This problem only happens when I use my .mac adress NOT my other email adresses (even within Mail).
Anyone else having that problem and solved it?
thanks

This is a peer-to-peer support forum. If you want to get a message to Verizon, you should contact them directly via one of the options on their Contact Us page.
That said, which version of webmail are you using? Let's walk through some settings and see what we can find.

Some emails not coming through

For some time now I have had the frequent problem of messages not showing up in the "sent messages" box. It's irritating not to be able to have a copy of all the emails I send, but I can live with it.
For the past couple of weeks however, I've noticed that some of my emails are not being delivered (even if they appear in the "sent messages" box!!) and I also don't receive all the emails people send to me.
I've already lost two contracts this way in the past weeks (and am getting very paranoid whenever I send an email or wait for an answer. )
It's getting to be a big problem.
Anyone have an explanation ? Or better still a solution ?
I'd really like to keep my mac.com email address (there seems not to be a problem with my gmail.com address via mac mail).
I'm on a macbook pro OSX 10.8.5 & mail via iCloud

Me too, driving me nuts. My husband is receiving emails that I am copied on, he gets them and I don't but we are both icloud. Other emails haven't landed in my inbox either but to see actual proof of it really stinks. My income relies on my email working... not good at all.

Some emails not reaching their destination

Since moving from MobileMe to iCloud some emails are not reaching their destination.

the same way!
Some letters do not reach the destination with iPad iCloud mail. In iCloud they fall into the "Sent", but do not come to a different destination some letters.

Why is email not being sent through my default account?

When I send it email it is sent through a gmail account that I have set up only to get calendar information. I deleted the gmail account then restarted the device, but still got the same result when I tried sending the another email. How do I change this?

Hi Marrelam!
Oh my! I am sorry to hear that your device is not sending emails. I know how important this feature is, and I will certainly get this resolved for you. Is this only your MSN account that is not sending mail? Have tried using gmail? There is an Hotmail application in the Google Play Market that can be downloaded as well. You can also check the Outgoing E-mail settings on the device to make sure you have the correct setup of the email account:
Outgoing Mail Server Name: smtp.live.com
port 587 (either SSL or TLS depending on client being used)
Username requires full email address (e.g. [email protected])
Password is the Windows Live ID password.
Keep us posted!

Some emails not deleting or not showing up in my Mail window.

My Mail program is having many problems--Some emails will be deleted but show up again when I reopen my Mail window, I cannot see emails in my draft folder, and there are times when emails sent to me are not showing up in my Mail window. I've redownloaded the mail program using my Tiger disk three times, but it never solves the problem. I'm about to reload my whole Tiger software, but I'm afraid I'll lose my 10.4.7 updates.

OK. In order to fix the problem, we need to re-create the index. Problem is, Mail may or may not choke on those messages while re-creating the index, so either be prepared for it or perform the optional steps 1 and 3:
1. (Optional, but recommended). Try to find in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/ the *.emlx files associated with the troublesome messages. Viewing the *.emlx files as List in the Finder showing the creation/modification date may help. Just identify them; do not get rid of them yet (you must quit Mail first).
2. Quit Mail.
3. (Optional, but recommended). If you found the troublesome *.emlx files in step 1, move them to the Trash.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
5. Locate the Envelope Index file and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
6. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate Deleted Messages.mbox, and move it to the Trash. I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
7. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate the *.mbox folder that corresponds to the mailbox you created to try to isolate the troublesome messages, and move it to the Trash. Again, I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
8. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

SAP not making Controlling Document at the time of MIRO

Dear Guru!
I have a very peculiar problem which I believe is an error in SAP.
My problem is that at the time of implemenation of MM the company doesnt have a store. so company ask the consultant to override GRN process and process everything through invoice and all the stock will be charged out to a cost center.
Now when the invoice of Cost Center (MIRO w/o GRN) is process, SAP doesnt create a controlling document and because there is no controlling document, the company cannot get the cost wise detail.
Now my question is, if I cannot get a cost center wise data, how can I get that entry. Can I do any entry to get that data or what should be a solution I can tell to my company.
Regards
Shah

Hi,
First of all the Controlling Mudule have to be activated. Now you are charging all your stock to cost center, so first of all you will have to use the Account Assignment Category K in Purchase Order. Yoou will also have to configure the Account Assignment Category in configuration. You can configure it via OME9. In this setting, Set the only Invoice Reciept Indicator, because you are not making MIGO Docs.
Now another condition is, you will have to charge all your stock to particular one GL Account so you will make the Cost Element for that GL as Cost Element Category 1. Now that Cost Element have to be assigned to OKB9 and cost center will be assigned there. Do not tick Profitibilty Segment because you are not going to create the document for COPA. So this is the general configuration for Creating CO Document.
Main thing is, you must check the Controlling Area Settings twise.
I hope it found useful to you.
Regards,
Jigar

Some email addresses won't send - sometimes.

I just upgraded to Lion. Here's my unusual issue: Some of the emails I try to send using Apple Mail get rejected by my ISP's outgoing mail server ( I am required to use the ISP's outgoing server to send mail using password authentication). I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason as to when and why this happens. It is an "on again, off again" issue and occurs at different times to different email addresses I am trying to send to. Sometimes an email address is allowed to be sent to by my ISP. Sometimes it is not. When the message is disallowed, I get ths following error message:
"Sending the message content to the server failed. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
I cannot send mail using any other outgoing server other than the one the ISP requires. About 95% of my messages make it through there.
Initially, I assumed the issue must be my ISP but I've tested the ISP's outgoing mail server using web mail and there is no issue there. I can also send web mail from my web hosting account. I am pretty sure Apple Mail is doing something to offend the outgoing mail server. Anyone have any ideas? This is very odd.

The symptoms you describe sound like an unstable Internet connection to me. Webmail and SMTP are two different things, so when web mail does work, that does not mean that you can connect to the mail servers through SMTP. Could be the Internet connection or a firewall. You should try to send the same mail, with the same outgoing mail server at different times, when that works once and does not work another time, it is very likely that this is a problem that only your ISP can fix, since no settings have changed...
Hope that helps

Emails not making it to MAIL

I have a comcast.net account and by using POP I have it set up to where I can just click on the MAIL icon in my dock to retrieve my emails. For some strange reason I have not been getting any emails through MAIL lately. If I log into my Comcast.net account, I see a whole bunch of emails. It has been working fine up to this point.

figured it out....apparently my mail was offline. I turned it back online and all my mail came back up! I don't recall turning it offline though

Some email not appearing in the inbox

My Iphone 3gs doesn't appear to be downloading all my emails. When I check my computer, some are downloaded and some are only on my computer. Anyone with similar issues? Any advice? Thanks!

Do you have a POP3 account, IMAP, or push? If it's POP3 then it is working as it should. Email downloaded to your computer is deleted from the server after download. Email downloaded to your phone is not. So if you get the mail first on the iPhone it will appear on your computer, but if you get it first on the computer it will no longer be on the server to be downloaded to your iPhone.
POP3 was designed years ago, when it never occurred to anyone that an individual would have more than one computer to read mail on. When things change IMAP was introduced. With IMAP the master copy is on the server and remains there. Other devices sync to the server. So if you move or delete the mail on one client it will also be moved or deleted on all of the others.

Some Email Not Displaying Correctly

I have this problem where I get an email that has wonderful pictures (html, css, or somthing) on my iphone and ipad they display correctly. On Mail in OSX on my iMac they are just a bunch of text and hyperlinks. A good example of this is the promotional emails from Nik Software. Why is this happening and how do I fix it? Thanks all!

Hey Linc, thanks for the reply! That seems to be checked by default. Perhaps I need to add not every email has this problem. It is only a few that end up rendering like this. I end up looking at what should be a pretty email with something like below. It appears to be a problem displaying multi-port MIME formated emails, though I have not isolated that for sure. I have also considered emailing the company and see if they have heard complaints from their Apple users. It isnt just Nik Software, a few other emails show up like this as well, not rendering properly. Nik just happens to be the example I have.

Why are some emails not displaying remote images

There have been a few threads on similar subjects but I haven't found a solution, or even a reason for the problem I'm seeing.
I've the display remote images option to "on" and in most of my emails images are shown. But for all the messages from one domain no images are ever displayed. The URLs are valid because the images show on my iMac in Thunderbird. On my iPhone I get a placeholder (box) with either a question mark or the "alt" text for the image.
Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing the problem?

Sent messages moved to the account's Sent mailbox indicates the message was successfully sent by the SMTP server used to send the messages with the account but is no guarantee the message will be accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server.
The recipient's incoming mail server may be incorrectly flagging messages sent by this SMTP server as junk (messages sent via webmail access for the account does not use an SMTP server) and with the large amount of spam being circulated, a return email error message from the recipient's incoming mail server is no longer always provided if the message was not accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server or when flagged as junk by the incoming mail server.
This is not a problem with the Mail application. The recipients reporting this problem need to check with the email account provider for their account.

Some email not showing up
