Suddenly stopped receiving mail on OS 10.4.4

We just got this computer this month and I've been getting my email fine up until yesterday. Now if I click "get mail" it searches, but doesn't add new mail. There are not messages telling me what is wrong, either. Just the received mail "ding". I've sent myself an email and it zoomed out okay, but I didn't receive it. There are two other users on this computer and both get their emails with no trouble.
Please help!!
  Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

I tried this and about 2 weeks of emails downloaded to my iMac--but nothing for today or yesterday.
FYI: I stopped received emails after my husband loaded the new update for Mail. He and my son still get email--but I can't. Could it be that I answered the prompts when I started Mail after the upgrade incorrectly? If so, what can I do?
Sending mail doesn't seem to be an issue--just receiving it.
Imac Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  
Thanks again for all your help!

  • TS3276 Mail account set up. Can not receive mail-Everything is green in Connection doctor but when checking activity it shows stop signs.  Was able to receive mail until last week  then all of a sudden stopped receiving mail but no changes were made.

    My mail account has been set up and working to send and receive mail for several months.  All of a sudden I can not receive mail.  The connection doctor shows all green lights.  No changes have been made and nothing has been changed on preferences on IMAP and SMTP.  I can send mail.  My other accounts all send and receive mail.  When you click on activity the list shows stop signs. All accounts show that they are online. 

    UPDATE:
    I deleted all the messages off the server of the offending email address and everything works fine now.

  • POP account suddenly stopped receiving mail

    Suddenly one of my POP accounts stopped receiving email on my iMac. The same account with the same settings continues to receive as it should on my MacBook Pro, which suggests there is something wrong on the iMac. I've reentered the password several times, deleted the Keychain entry. Nothing seems to work. This account was working fine then all of a sudden demanded a password and refused to function.
    Other accounts, even with the same ISP, work properly on both machines.
    Help?

    Solution: delete Library/Mail/POP account folder

  • TS3899 My iPhone 4s suddenly stopped receiving incoming mail.

    My iPhone 4s suddenly stopped receiving incoming mail.  I am still able to send from my iPhone but not receive.My email is still coming through on the desktop, sending anbd receiving.

    Thanks for the reply. The SMTP is the Outgoing , which is working.  I cannot find the incoming settings though. Are there any? The settings were never changed by me, I think there has been a network change somewhere. AT&T or Apple. I have rebooted several times, and even did a restore.  Same problem. The "checking email" and "last Updated xx/xx/xxxx" message at bottom of screen just constantly flashes on and off when I check email.
    I can send email from my iPhone ok.

  • Why did Mail suddenly stop receiving as of yesterday?

    My apple mail 4.5 stopped receiving mail yesterday about noon. Nothing has changed, I have not installed anything new. I wasn't even home!
    Now I can send, at least it appears to send. I am using OSX 10.6.8, and have been for a while.
    Any suggestions? It's so frustrating. Would using Outlook solve the problem? Is it the outgoing mail server down? I don't even know how to check, other than the connection Dr. It says can't connect to POP server.
    Thanks

    No ability to access Mail on MacBook since 20th, same messages as MycalD.
    Called Apple, was told that I'd need to spend $49 for tech support or should go to Store.
    Checked Communities; there were a couple dozen similar problems, but only one post (that I saw; it takes a long time to sort through requests for help and then find help, it seems to me) that proposed solutions, which I tried with no result.
    Failed to get resolution using Apple Troubleshooting instructions.
    Used Chat & was told that I need to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Leopard (free to MobileMe account holders) & then spend $30 for Lion. The theory is that migrating from MobileMe to iCloud with my current OS is preventing mail from synching with MacBook. I don't know why this should suddenly be a problem. (No problems with Mail on iPhone3 or iPad2 or accessing through Safari/iCloud, true, but I migrated to iCloud four months ago.)
    So far, three+ hours spent on this issue.
    If anyone with this problem actually gets it fixed, I'd appreciated knowing before downlading Leopard & purchasing Lion....

  • My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails. I have tried every trick and it's still not working.

    My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails from the mail app.
    I've been looking through the forum for hours and tried every variation of deleting the account, re-adding it, rebooting my iPad etc. I've tried everything! And I still can't receive emails.
    My drafts, sent emails and junk emails are all there but my inbox is empty and it's refusing to download the messages.
    When I refresh it, "downloading 1 of 250" pops up for a second and then disappears and it just says it's updated yet nothing is there.
    Please can someone help. This is incredibly annoying!!!
    My mail provider is Yahoo and my wifi is working fine.

    Hi - did you get any resolution to this? I have exactly the same issue.
    You tagged onto an older post. If you want an answer to your specific question, you need to create a new post. By creating a new post, you will receive emails when helpers post responses.

    My Mac has stopped receiving mail. I have a mac.com address. Mail is still coming through to my iphone and my wife's ipad but nothing is coming through to my imac.I have mail from half an hour ago on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the mac. Everythng was working fine until recently and I have not touched any settings! Can anyone help?

    So I tried something else recently and it seems to have fixed the issue. My mail is now getting new mail again and refreshing after waking from sleep without having to restart mail. Give it a try and hopefully it will help you too.
    First, make sure your Mailbox List is visible (Shift + Control + M). Then select all of your inboxes, mailboxes, and folders (not just the root folder for nested folders, make sure to select them all). Then under the "Mailbox" menu, select "Rebuild."
    It may take a while to rebuild them all if you have a lot, but like I said it seems to have done the trick for me. I hope that proves to be more of a long-term solution.

  • Mail stops receiving mails (absurd length message+exception in console.log)

    Hello,
    a few days Mail.app of 10.4.11 stopped receiving mails. In console.log I find this message:

    It happened a mail 78. So I deleted the corresponding mail from the server and another similar looking one as well. Now the problem happened downloaden mail 76, which of course was a different mail than the one which caused the error at first. I then created a new account in mail.app which downloads from the same mail account and the problem happens there as well.
    It is a POP account.
    I then tested what's happening if I create a new user in Mac OS X and use Mail.app in the new account. This works.
    So the problem is limited to my user account and there to all mail accounts going to the same POP server/user.
    Do you have any ideas what could cause this behaviour and how I can solve it?
    Bye

    Welcome to the forums Oliver... good work at narrowing the problem down so far!
    Try dragging this file to the Desktop and reboot...
    /Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Might also pay to clean caches, I use Applejack, but there are many. The log makes me think cache especially.

  • Stopped receiving mails after October 6th.

    For some reason I stopped receiving mails after the 6th of October. Just out of the blue. No settings changes was ever made on my side.
    This applies to anything using iCloud, be it iOS, my Mac or icloud.com.
    Any clues/hints?
    I remember this happened in June as well and Apple said for you to change your account ID or something, but those settings (from MobileMe) no longer exist. There`s no account page that I can find.
    I know I am missing out on important email, work email even, so I need this fixed ASAP

    Try following the instructions in the below thread to fix the issue.

  • Thunderbird 31.3.0 for MAC stop receiving mails via POP3

    Previously everything work properly, no changes in Thunderbird client or at gmail settings.
    Global re index of Thunderbird database was performed.

  • How do I stop receiving Mail alerts on the iPad? E.g when browsing Safari a Mail alert box will pop up when I receive a new email. I don't want this alert. Thanks.

    How do I stop receiving Mail alerts on the iPad?
    e.g. When browsing in Safari I will be interrupted by a 'ping' sound and a Mail alert box every time a new email comes in to my Inbox. This is irritating. How do I stop this? To see if I have new Mail I just prefer to go to Mail and my Inbox at convenient intervals.
    Thank you.

    The same way you'd change any notifications: Settings>Notifications>Mail. Change it to "Banner" or "None".

  • My iPad suddenly stopped receiving cell signal from Verizon and in the top left corner it says Invavid SIM where it used to say 3G

    MY 2 week old IPad 2 suddenly stopped receiving a cell signal from Verizon and in the top left corner of the screen it says Invalid SIM where it used to say 3G.  Why did this happen and how do I fix it?  Still works on WIFI...

    Why? Who knows. You could try reseating the SIM to see if this helps. If not contact Verizon.

  • Mail Stops Receiving Mail After Awhile

    I just installed Leopard today, and all of a sudden Mail isn't working properly. I didn't change any of the POP or STMP settings from the last version -- of Mail, and of my system. When the computer first starts up, Mail works fine for a while. Then it simply stops being able to retrieve e-mail from my server. I can still send mail, just not receive it. The only thing that helps is restarting the entire machine. HELP!

    I think I may have solved this problem (hanging after receiving 24 messages in my case) on my mac. I found this solution posted to some other thread, can't remember which one. I looked at the console and it was littered with references to address book. Someone suggested exporting the address book to an archive and then reimporting it. I did this and I've finally received mail that has been sitting there since Halloween. I'm so happy to finally have mail back. Hopefully this solution will work for others with the problem receiving mail. Looks like the community has triumphed where Apple wouldn't step up. Thanks to all, Brian

  • TB suddenly stopped receiving or sending emails after a Windows 7 update.

    In late March 2015, after a critical Windows 7 update (or so it seemed), I suddenly could no longer send or receive emails using Thunderbird. After much research, checking settings, restarting in safe mode etc, I was forced to give up and simply use my ISP's webmail service. Yesterday (22nd April), I had a need to find an earlier email so I started TB for the 1st time in weeks. It loaded fine and downloaded all of the emails from the last month. I managed to send an email, too. Around 12 hours later - with no change to my system that I was aware of - it suddenly stopped again.
    What on earth is going on?.

    I would guess you're anti virus. But it is truly a guess.
    Perhaps there is a third party at work here. Did you have your phone or tablet turned off for that 12 hour period? or the part where Thunderbird got mail?

Maybe you are looking for
