Tracking a received message

My question is how to track a received message. That is, although I can verify that a message has been received (the D record in mail-log), and put into related account (the E record in mail-log), the user complains that he never got the message (Outlook 2003 at the client side using POP3 protocol). So, is there anything else that I can look for tracking down the message any further than the before mentioned D and E lines in the mail log. Another thing, those logs does not give any clue about the received message like subject line or anything like that. So, is there a way of getting more specific to the received messages from out of the mail server logs?
Thanks,
Rami

Hi,
My question is how to track a received message. That
is, although I can verify that a message has been
received (the D record in mail-log), and put into
related account (the E record in mail-log), the user
complains that he never got the message (Outlook 2003
at the client side using POP3 protocol). So, is there
anything else that I can look for tracking down the
message any further than the before mentioned D and E
lines in the mail log. Yes. Do you have backups ? If so, restore the messages from backup into the account and see if the message with the appropriate time-stamp exists or not. I have had to deal with the whole 'missing email' scenario a number of times and I have never had a case where messaging server itself was at fault. Most of the time it was client problems (e.g. badly configured mail filters, they had deleted the email(s) and didn't want to admit it until pushed, duplicate POP clients) or sometimes server issues (file-system corruption).
Another thing, those logs does
not give any clue about the received message like
subject line or anything like that. So, is there a
way of getting more specific to the received messages
from out of the mail server logs?Yes. Refer to the LOG_HEADER option.dat parameter in the messaging server reference guide.
Even if you had the subject line, what would this prove? You still can't
prove that the email really WAS in the account unless you can see the physical .msg file on disk. This will just tell you that the message was delivered, which you should be able to tell from the sender/recipient pair already.

How can I stop iOS from opening a recently received message when I click on the messages app to compose an unrelated message to a different contact? I want to read it later, when I have time to reply, and I don't want to forget to go back to it.

iPhone messages automatically open when I don't want them to
One of my first ever flip phones had a wonderful function where you could choose a checkbox next to received messages to make them appear read or unread. This was very convenient for messages which you read, but don't have time to reply to immediately, and want to remember to come back to later.
In contrast, the latest, greatest iPhone not only does not have this rudimentary message management function, but it goes one step further in the wrong direction. If there is just one received, unread message, and you click on the messages icon, the new message will automatically be opened. It is opened irrespective of whether you have time to read it right away, irrespective of if you simply wanted to compose a new message or go back to another already read message. It just opens the new one, and then you are in a position where you have to read it and respond to it right there, or risk forgetting about it and failing to reply to it altogether. I sometimes receive a lot of messages over a period of a few hours, so it is very easy to lose track of these half-read messages in the mayhem. I have missed countless messages because of this problem. Incidentally, if there is more than one received message, then the application doesn't automatically open any of them, which is much better, because you can at least choose when you want to open one of the unread messages. But ideally, you should be able to go through your list of received messages and check or uncheck them as read or unread at any time, so that you can easily find messages that still need to be replied to, or reconsidered.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? It strikes me as a simple data management solution that should be, but is not an option in the basic functionality of the app. Frustrating!

Is this an IMAP account?
If so, delete the messages in Mail from all folders and quit Mail.
Go the the website and clear the messages from all folders there.
Reopen Mail and verify the messages have been deleted for all folders.

Hi Yasser,
Does the issue only happen to one user with one specific message? Please check if the missing message is located in other mailbox folders such as Deleted Items folder, Junk E-mail folder. Also check the Inbox rules in Outlook.
If the message is still listed in the sender's send items folder, please close Outlook and only use OWA to re-send this message to the problematic recipient. Then check whether this recipient can receive this message in OWA or not.

Can I receive messages from Skype when my ipad is in sleep mode and the app is closed?

Ok, can I receive messages from Skype when my ipad and iPod touch are off, and the app is closed? Becuase my mom sent me a message and I did nott receive it. I have to have the app running or running in the background to receive messages. Is there a way to recieve messages when my ipad and ipod do NOT have the app running?

The ipad may keep a connection alive in sleep mode.. but it should only use local connection AFAIK, and no internet content.
I have a similar setup with iPad and although it has an IP it is not actually reachable on the network. I will track usage and see if it is actually using anything but I would doubt it.
Now of course it may depend on what apps you have running. I really doubt the ipad will be using that much of your download unless you are watching movies on it.

HT1430 receiving message "cannot get mail. account ... is in use on another device"

Phone does not receive email. Instead I receive message "cannot get mail. Account ... is in use on another device." No problem receiving mail on all other devices.

It is not a problem that is solvable by anyone. It is the way POP works. Set the polling time on your computer to 10 minutes or more and it will happen much less frequently. But it will still happen. Any time your phone tries to retrieve mail while your computer is actively retrieving mail you will get that message.
If your ISP does not offer IMAP service there isn't much you can do. Most don't BTW. I run a mail server that supports IMAP, and so does Yahoo, Microsoft, Google and Apple. But a lot of ISPs don't because either they want you to use webmail so they can track your usage or they don't like the fact that IMAP keeps the master copy of all mail on the server, so you will use much more storage than with POP.
One option is to get a gmail account and set it to retrieve your ISP mail. The read your mail with gmail. Google even lets you reply using your ISP's email address as the return address.

Tracking an email message

Hello,
Is there a way to track a message that we send other people outside our company?
I'm not sure what's going on yet but I opened a ticket with my email provider but it will probably take a while to get a response. But my boss was saying that when he sends an email to our client, it does not reach them. We don't get a bounce back or anything. And it's only from this one client. But of course it's always my fault that the emails does not thru, it's never the client's fault.
So if somebody could help, I appreciate it.
Thanks,
Helmut

Hello Helmut.
If a message is successfully sent, it is either accepted or rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server and a sent message will not be copied to the account's sent mailbox if not successfully sent by the account's outgoing mail server.
If a sent message is rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server, a bounce back message is sent from the recipient's incoming mail server indicating why the message was not accepted.
Most, if not all incoming mail servers have spam and virus scans for all received messages and false positives do occur. There is a possibility the messages sent by your boss have been marked as spam by the recipient's incoming mail server and if the messages contain attachments, the attachments may have been flagged as containing a virus.
The Mail.app does not provide a read receipt for received messages without your knowledge when requested by a sender nor does it include a read receipt request for sent messages since this generally does not work with SMTP mail since the recipient's incoming mail server and the recipient's email client must support providing a read receipt. If the recipient's incoming mail server and email client supports providing a read receipt when requested by a sender, the recipient will also have the option to not provide a read receipt when requested by a sender.
You can download a Mail.app plugin called Mail Priority at the following link.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14967
MailPriority is a plug-in for Mail.app on 10.2 and 10.3 providing a simple interface to set Priorities for outgoing messages, colorize messages in the message list and to request read receipts. (You only get a receipt, if the receiving mail client supports this feature and the recipient enables this option.)
The MailPriority plugin is not compatible with Tiger Mail and I don't believe using it will resolve your problem.

TS2755 I can't receive messages on my iPhone 4?? It will let me send them just not receive, and this happens on text and iMessage. Help anyone?!

I have a iPhone 4 on contract and every now and then it will stop receiving messages when I am in the middle of a conversation. I don't use iMessage as I sometimes go over the limit of my Internet data. So I stick with SMS. And even when I do try with iMessage I still can't receive messages. I don't know if this is a on fault on the phone but it's a really bad downfall if its common on most iPhones. Don't get me wrong but I love this phone I think it's great but it's annoying when I can't receive messages. And at this moment
In time I still can't receive them. Been happening for 12 hours now and it's never been this long usually, advice anyone?

Hi Tnolen15,
If you are having issues sending or receiving messages from a specific contact (in this case, your wife), you may find this portion of the following article helpful (ignore the numbering):
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

I'm having issues with iMessage. It works fine on wifi and I receive messages as iMessage without issue in network or wifi. However as I send a message it starts as iMessage then says not delivered. Then sends as SMS since I have it enabled.

iMessage works on wifi without issue. However I receive messages on network but can't send. I send a message it starts sending as iMessage ten says it can't send. Then starts to send as SMS since it's enabled. I have reset network sertings, updated to ios7, etc and done about 3 othe suggested in order resets to get it to work and it still hasn't started working when I'm not on wifi. Any suggestions?
It's a iPhone 4S. I have two iPhones. One setup to receive iMessage just to its phone number. Therapeutic to receive to its phone and email. I wouldn't think that would be the issue as all 3 are separate. Bone the same going to both phones.
Thanks for the help!!!

I am trying to use Labview and RP1210 compliant hardware to connect to a truck J1939 bus and receive messages.

I am trying to use Labview and RP1210 compliant hardware to connect to a truck J1939 bus and receive messages.
Specifically I am attempting to read data frames using the RP1210_READMESSAGE . am able to configure the hardware and send a message to the J1939 bus. . I think I have not configured something correctly. I can use the RP1210_SENDMESSAGE and see the message I have sent on the bus using CANalyzer When I use the RP1210_READMESSAGE I get the timestamp from a message and the return from the function sends back the correct number of bytes (the number matches the number of bytes I sent out plus four bytes from the timestamp). What I am having trouble with is actually receiving the data. I have had the same type of behavior from two different hardware (Vector CANcase XL and Nexiq USB Link), so I don't think the issue is vendor specific.
Has anyone been able to make the RP1210_RECIEVEMESSAGE function work correctly?
Thanks for any help

Thanks
I have already tried that. The links are the NI RP1210 wraper. The problem I am having is using labview to interface with the RP1210 layer. The RecieveMessage char*fpchAPIMessage this is the output which is a pointer to a cahracter array. In this variable I can receive the timestamp of the message but not the message. The retun showns the correct amount of bytes are aviaable (18 for a 8 byte message) but I can only get the 4 byte timestamp I think I have to dereference this pointer to view the data. I am not sure how to fix this.

I am having some trouble with receiving messages from iMessage users when I don't have my iMessage turned on. When I called for support, I spent 30 min waiting and the woman's response to me was "Turn on your iMessage." I prefer not to use it

I have an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro. Ever since I updated my computer software to Yosemite, it linked my Apple ID with my phone number and I am not receiving messages from iMessage users on my phone, but rather to my computer. I don't like to use iMessage so I keep it off and would like to receive all messages as SMS texts. I have already tried changing my Apple ID password, logging off of my Apple ID in iMessage on my phone and turning it off, and changing settings on messages on my computer. Nothing is working. Either the messages continue to go to my computer or the messages trying to be sent say they cannot be sent.
After spending 30 + minutes waiting for technical support, the woman helping me (who did not give me her name) told me I should just turn on iMessage. After explaining that I don't like having iMessage on and asking why it worked for at least a year up until this point she said "things change and sometimes we don't know why things do what they do". She asked me about various other things on my phone such as bluetooth and told me to turn on and off airplane mode and the call disconnected. I have not been contacted since, even though she has my phone number.
I am hoping for some help and also hoping people don't get the type of service I received tonight.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

When I try to go to the photo gallery to choose a picture to send to my email address by using my Iphone it can't send or receive messages. Yahoo password is being asked which I have forgotten. How can I correct this?

With my my I phone as I try to choose a picture from the photo gallery to send it via email using my Iphone, I can't seem to send nor receive messages anymore. It is asking for my yahoo password. What password will that be as I have forgotten it. I know what my personal password on my yahoo address when I go to a regular laptop or desktop but with Iphone I am unable to to retrieve this password because it does not give you an option to change a password. What shall I do to correct this problem?

It's the same password. Go to settings - mail - yahoo - enter the password for your incoming and outgoing mail server.

Message Inbox: Long time to receive messages

Hi All,
My client is on 8.8 PL15. They complain that it takes a very long time to receive Approvals in th Messages/Alert Overview window, although the Update Messages in General Settings > Services is set to be 1 minute. They complain that they need to log out and back in again in order to receive messages, before they can approve.
Does somebody maybe know what could cause the delay?
Kind regards
Carin

Hi All,
The users cleaned up the Inbox and Outbox Messages, but the Approval Messages are still coming through slowly!
1. Some Authorisers do not even get the messages, while others do, even after they logged off and on again.
2. Also follow the following scenario: The user is logged on on a laptop and on a terminal. On the Terminal, the approvals almost come through instantly, but on the laptop, it takes forever. If you log off and back on again it then comes through.
Can anybody help?
Regards
Carin

How do I receive messages on multiple apple id's on the same device

I just upgraded to IOS7 and now I can't receive iMessages on one device for multiple Apple IDs. I have two and typically receive messages on both but when I try to set up another email address to receive messages on in the device setting it tells me that the email address is already in use. Any suggestions?

Yes they have different sign ins for iCloud, FaceTime, Messages and iTunes, you can all use the same ID to sign into iTunes but use different ones for the others.

Still can't receive messages from Iphone Users

Greetings,
I know there are many topics asking similar questions if it's googled, and I think I have read through almost all of them to no prevail. I know veterans of these boards probably get tired of seeing the same topics, but im desperate and will try to keep it quick. I really appreciate any help.
I recently upgraded from a 4S to a Galaxy S5 and have not been able to receive messages from Iphone users since. I still have my old Iphone. Here are the steps I've tried:
1) Ensure "IMessage" is disabled in my old phone
2) Unregistered my phone number with my Apple ID. I currently have no phone numbers registered with them
3) Changed my Apple ID Password
4) Unregistered my Iphone with my ITunes Account.
5) I also have a Macbook Air and a 2010 model IMac. I have also ensured I am signed out on those devices and my phone number isn't linked in anyway I could find.
6) I called Apple 3 Days ago and the representitive was very nice and professional but ultimately was incorrect. He advised me that the new IoS7 is more advanced and should check about every 12 hours to see if the user on the other end has an active IMessage account. He said to wait 24 hours just to be safe. He also advised people running older IOS systems could take up to 3-4 days to contact me correctly. Furthermore he said if after that time frame their phones still sent me IMessages instead of SMS then THEY were having problems and should call Apple. I just really doubt that is the case.
I have tested it out with 5 Iphones now with help from some friends, all running IOS7 and still no luck 3 days after the phone call to Apple.
7) I tried logging back into IMessage today on my Macbook and it worked, I was still able to send and receive texts from Iphone users. This seems like it should not be possible since it is not linked to my phone number anymore. It is logged into the same Email that I used to have linked to my phone number.
Now as others have said, If I have them hold down the bubble and send as text message 3 times their phone will remember and keep sending my texts, however that is unreasonable to ask everyone to do. There should just be a way to completely delete your Apple ID. Is there anything I'm possibly overlooking? I really appreciate any help.

I am right there with you. This describes my problem to a T. Only other issue I am having is group texts. Iphone users who include me in a group text still send as imessages as well, so even if I text them first and they reply, it send as an imessage. Get it together apple.
