TS3276 Mail is not receiving messages on my iMac.

Mail is not receiving messages on my iMac. I can send messages but not receive. My MacBook Pro receives OK. What can be the matter?

I sorted this out in the end by playing around with Connection Doctor

Mail will not receive messages

Shortly after installing Security Update 2011-005, Mail stopped receiving messages on all three of my accounts (two Gmail IMAP accounts and one Microsoft Exchange 2007 account).
Mail will seemingly download the messages and show progress in the lower left display panel as usual, but even though it appears as though the messages were successfully downloaded they never appear in my inbox.
I've checked all the account settings, but nothing seems to be wrong..
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Naomi

I would recommend removing all three account, although you could probably do it one account at time, and then adding them back. Since the messages for all three account reside on the server, nothing will be lost. With the setting to Keep copies for Offline viewing, it will take a good bit of time for all messages to again download to the computer, so I would change to not keep copies for Offline viewing -- you can always change that later.
The problem may simply be with indexing the mailboxes to display these messages, and this will correct that, if so.

Mail can not receive messages from yahoo account

Hello,
last year I bought my first Appler computer and it was a good decision . I use the mail application and addes 2 email accounts. One yahoo email account and one t-online email account. It works very well until september ... Since september I can't receive new messages from my yahoo account.
I tried different things I read in this forum. For example to delete the file com.apple.mail.list in library/preferences and start the mail application. I create a new account for yahoo. Mail read the only 49 messages from the total 84 messages. If I look at the account information within the mail application it shows all 84 messages from the yahoo account.
I also use opera as an other internet browser and the embedded email client. Opera receive my emails from the yahoo acount.
There are any other suggestions to solve my problem ?

I'm having the same problem too. I think it's an issue on Yahoo's end because whenever I can't retrieve message on the POP server, I also can't login to Yahoo on Adium Messenger. Yahoo has a history of this happening, but never for days on end. I think the solution is to set your Yahoo mail to forward to Gmail and be done with it.

Mail does not receive messages

I transferred all my data to a new iMac with Lion from my old iMac with Snow Leopard, and the Mail settings did arrive correctly. But I cannot receive any mail from either of my accounts. I tried connection doctor, and even though the receiving button for my home email was slow, it did finally say it connected. Mail is coming all right to my old iMac.

Check System Preferences - Security / Firewall.
If the Firewall is turned on, turn it off to test.
You may need to click the padlock icon to make changes. You will be prompted for your admin password.

i do alse receive from gmail....
please help... what is happening!!!!

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Mail will not receive any messages

As of 9:30 Thursday morning, Mail will not receive any messages. I can still compose and send but incoming messages just sit on Google's server (where I've been reading and replying). Nothing was changed, Connection Doctor shows everything to be fine, I've checked and reentered passwords, quit Mail, restarted the computer, etc.
Suggestions?

I tried that again, including another shut-down, and based on another link, changingthe"check for new mail" preference from "automatically" to "every 5 minutes."
No change.

I can not receive messages and i can't send messages also if someone rings me it, it rings at their end and then goes to voice mail but nothing at my end

Talk to your carrier. Sounds like something is not provisioned right on your account.

Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox

Thanks for your answer. Apprciate it very much. Just prior to receiving your email, I got back online. However, as I had tried what you suggested (and a lot more as I am 'reasonably' competent), and had been so doing since yesterday afternoon, I do believe that what you suggested was correct - that it was my third rate ISP that was at fault.
Nevertheless, many thanks once again.

Mail not receiving messages

I just updated to Yosemite. My Mail account can send messages but not received messages. I tried creating a new account, but same result as my old account. My wife has a Mail account identical to mine, except for her E-Mail address, and she sends and receives okay. We have the same domain; just hers is [email protected] Mine is [email protected] The Connection Doctor successfully connects to both the incoming and outgoing mail servers. The Activity Window shows:
      "[Don] Fetching new mail
     Preparing to retrieve messages...
for a long time and nothing else.
I did find the following messages in the System Log:
11/08/2014 3:33:09.074 PM    Mail[393]    -[MFPOPConnection fetchMessages:totalBytes:] failed: Error Domain=MCMailErrorDomain Code=1029 "The attempt to send data to the server “(null)” failed." UserInfo=0x608000650b00 {NSLocalizedDescription=The attempt to send data to the server “(null)” failed.}
Also I noticed in Mail is the menu Menu Bar>Mailbox>Get New Mail>Don is disabled, but Menu Bar>Mailbox>Get New Mail>Glenda is enabled. Both accounts are shown being online.
Finally, I tried my account on my wife's MacBook Pro and my mail was received okay. So it has to be something on my MacPro.
I've spent 2 days trying to resolve this issue without success, but I'm at a loss. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Don

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for the name of the mail server you're having trouble with. Double-click one of the items and check the box marked Show password in the inspector window. You'll be prompted for your keychain password to confirm. Make a note of the user name and password. Then delete every "Internet Password" item in the search results. Quit Keychain Access.
Quit and relaunch Mail. You'll be prompted for the account user name and password. Enter the information you noted earlier and check the box to save it in the Keychain.

Mac Mail POP Account Not Receiving Messages

Using Mac Mail, I am suddenly not receiving messages in a POP account. The gmail account I use is working normally. Under connection doctor both accounts are green. Help, please?

Same problem here since upgrading to Mail 7.1 (1827). All the settings are seemingly correct. The emails are marked as 'Read' on the server but are not downloaded.
The emails are also deleted a week later as set in preferences.
Thinking the emails may have gone elsewhere I used Spotlight to look for them. No success there.
Real puzzle and yet another glitch on the latest Apple Mail.
Come on Apple, get your act together.

Mail not receiving messages suddenly

I have two email accounts on my original iPhone. I noticed tonight when I checked my email on my desktop that there were messages in both inboxes, but they were never received on my iPhone. When I push the circular arrow in the bottom left of the screen to get my mail it just keeps saying, "checking for mail". Usually when I go to my mail, I would notice that the mail was checked within the past hour or so (as I have set). But the past couple days it has not been checking unless I push the button to do so...but still not receiving messages. I tried to check the settings but couldn't get it to work. My passwords, etc. are fine. I just can't get messages. Is there something up with mail and the new 2.0 on the original iPhone? Thanks, Brian

Hi all - I just did some experimenting, after also not receiving any mail on my original iPhone since the version 2.0 update. I manually deleted all email accounts on my iPhone. After this was done, I did a reset on the phone (held both buttons down until it did a restart). Then I re-synched the phone and in iTunes, in the iPhone synch menus, selected "replace information on this iPhone" with Mail Accounts checked.
Once all the email accounts were cleared and totally reinstalled, it is working flawlessly again. Hope this works for you too!!

Mail program not recieiving messages, but I can send. I use .Mac to get mai

My Mail program is not receiving messages all of a sudden. But I can send.
I have to get my mail at .Mac. Just tried fixing permissions. No luck yet. I just sent myself an email and it came into .Mac but not to my Mail program.
What have I done?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You're welcome.
More than likely .Mac but to confirm, at the menu bar for the Mail application go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts.
Under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences, what is shown next to Account Type?
If .Mac, a .Mac type account with the Mail application is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way so try using the Rebuild Mailbox function on the Inbox mailbox for your .Mac account.
If there is a black triangle to the left of Inbox in the mailboxes drawer, select it pointing it down to reveal your .Mac account named Inbox mailbox. Select the mailbox and at the menu bar go to Mailbox and select Rebuild.
All messages in the message list for the account's Inbox mailbox will disappear temporarily and the mailbox will be resynchronized with the server.

Upgraded to Yosemite, now mail doesn't receive messages

Recently upgraded to Yosemite on my late 2011 MBPro, now I can not receive messages through mail. I can send messages though. I also have outlook for Mac which is functioning properly.

Found what seems to be a fix.
Go: Mail>Preferences>Accounts
Uncheck "automatically detect and maintain account settings"
Check "allow insecure authentication"
Probably not the most secure fix, but all my selfies are already on the cloud anyway lol.
