Stop getting mail, but keep sending

I have an IMAP account that I want to stop getting mail from, but still send mail from. How can I do this?

Hello,
In addition to not checking for new mail automatically, take the account Offline -- Mailbox/Online Status/Take Offline/choose account.
Of course, you can also create New Mailboxes, and transfer the messages there, if you will never receive or send with this account. Btw, taking an account Offline, does not prevent sending with that address.

Mail Won't get mails, but does send mails.

Hello,
I just purchased a MacBook Pro. I added my Gmail account to Mail. However unlike on my iMac and iPhone, on the MacBook Pro, Sometimes Mail won't download any mail when I press get mail, even if there is new mail on the server, meanwhile it is downloaded on the iMac and iPhone. Can someone help me please,
Thanks
Madhur
btw - it is set up as POP on the MacBook Pro.

HI,
Try repairing disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, with the Mail application open, from the Menu Bar, click Mailbox/Rebuild.
And... If you can’t receive messages

Can't use gmail in Safari - can get mail but not send or reply

I can't send or reply to emails in gmail when using Safari? Only get error message that it was "unsuccessful and try again." But then can't
even delete it or close it out - just keeps going back to that same error message. Have to quit gmail to get it back. Can receive all
the emails no problem.

Exact same problem here. IMHO, I think it started when Software Update installed the latest version of Java. Can't be certain about that though.
I AM able to send/reply via Firefox, however.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

TS3276 how do i get my imac servers online? I can get mail but cannot send

I am having trouble sending mail since we moved and changed our internet service provider. Please tell me what to do to get them back online.

Start Mail.
Go to the menu Mail > Preferences...
Click on the "Accounts" tab.
To delete an account, highlight the account and press the '-' button (on the bottom) to remove it.
To add a new account, press the '+' button (on the bottom) to add it.
You will be prompted to setup the account. Use the account type and paramters as provided by your e-mail service provider. OS X does try to properly guess some of the settings, but you may need to make manual adjustments after you add the account. You can make those modifications in the Account Information and Advanced tabs (note that you cannot change the "type" of account -- e.g., you can't switch from POP e-mail to Exchange e-mail, you need to create a new account for that).
If there are any issues, you should contact your e-mail service provider.

I get mail, but cannot send then, please anyone?

Can some one give me an help ...?/
I just had check with my provider.
So I think that is at my program.
should I download another soft program /
thanks

Most ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
Test if this resolves the problem.
If not and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP with the Mail.app, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

I changed my e-mail address a few months ago everything was ok. Starting monday my outgoing mail can not be sent, it says the server rejected my e-mail address. Why ? I can receive mail but not send it

My outgoing mail gets rejected. I can get mail but not send it.It was working for about 6 months.

If the smtp is rejecting your password you should go in.
Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
Select your Yahoo account in the sidebar on the left.
In account information tab you will see : " Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) "
Click on it and choose edit SMTP server list.
Select Yahoo and click on the advanced tab.
Now fill your new Yahoo password.
Hope it's help.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]

TS3276 I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

The solution surprised even me, and we've been using Macs since 1984 (still have an original 128K).
I contacted Apple support, and because we had just upgraded yesterday, clicked on the "exception" button as opposed to paying the $19.99 one-time support fee. An Apple tech called and the problem was solved in two minutes.
Somehow during the installation of OS 10.8.2 (over 10.6.x) the key chain data for my email ISP login password got corrupted. The solution was to delete both the POP mail and SMTP entries in my keychain.
Back to Mail, it asked for the POP password, I entered it and bingo, mail got busy downloading. Interestingly, the password was also entered into the SMTP panel.
So, that's it. Thanks for you response, Mr. Hoffman, and regards.

Mail and Google Business Apps - can get incoming mail but not send

I'm using the mac mail client for 3 different accounts - one regular gmail account, and 2 Google Business App addresses that are like [email protected]
2 of these accounts are working and have always worked fine: the regular gmail, and one of the business app accounts
But my newest one can recieve mail, but cannot send mail OUT. I've looked at my settings and compared them to Google's over and over, and compared them to the other business account that works. They are all set up correctly. ALL of the settings are set up the way they should be.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

Some mail accounts stopped getting mail and POP access is down

I think my head is spinning so fast trying to deal with this issue I can't see straight any longer. Here's the deal...
Symptom: Mail is received by 2 users out of 6. They all used to get mail but the 3 newest ones stopped getting mail.
At one point I thought it was some sort of spam filter because it looked like it would not get mail from a particular domain (@my.simulscribe.com). I looked around and couldn't find anything that could be blocking it though. We do have a Barracuda Spam firewall but nothing in there looks like it even deals with this server at all. I could be wrong or looking in the wrong place.
*What I've tried* : I went through the setup once again and looked for anything out of place. Of course I didn't identify anything but I'm not going to pretend to be an expert either.
I've become very confused by the server names, alias, etc. I can no longer determine what's what or what's wrong. One account does still gets and sends mail but only when using the internal IP address. POP isn't working (used to).
*What hasn't worked:* Well of course everything i've tried hasn't worked. The list is long and it includes burning sage and an exorcism.
So here's the bottom line. I need to get mail working to the accounts:
website: www.kognizen.com
sbradr
sbtraf
sbcan
I have a word document with all the screen captures I think are useful. I can send this to anyone that needs it. I'm ready to do whatever it takes including paying somebody to get in a fix this thing for me! Any suggestions?

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

Why can I receive mail but not send?
