TS3899 My in mail has stopped working... Last mail I got was Saturday. Seems I can send but not receive

My receive email is not working. Hasn't received anything since Saturday
Any ideas? I have deleted my .me account and then re installed but still nothing
Could there be storage issue? I have 7 GB cloud storage left?
Just need to access important mail
Thanks

There are countless users posting that they can'd receive (some can't send) emails via icloud email addresses. I can only guess that the system is down in some parts of the world.

Upgraded to Tiger; Mail can Send, but not receive... help!

Hi there,
I've come across lots of issues people have had importing all their mailboxes when they've upgraded from Panther to Tiger, but my wife's problem is different - - Mail can Send, but not receive. 'Get Mail' hasn't worked since the upgrade. I've been on the phone with my POP server provider, and all my Mail Account settings are correct. I can send mail, as I say, and sure enough, there it is in her Hotmail web page, along with all the other messages people have sent her in the last two weeks...
So why can't Mail 'get' these messages, if all the settings are correct?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Malcolm

You’re welcome.
If you deleted a POP account, then all the messages stored in that account’s mailboxes has certainly been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
Remove Account
Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
To prevent that from happening, you should have moved those messages to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving them in the account’s mailboxes. Actually, using Inbox and Sent for archiving purposes is a bad idea regardless.
If the messages are not on the server and you don’t have a backup (which you should have made before doing something like that), you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

I have an iphone6. And out of the blue my group messages aren't working. I can send but not receiving any back.

You should check that your settings (both directions) match this:
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? If you migrated from MobileMe using this your mail settings won't be correct and you will need to follow this procedure to re-enter them:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

Using osx 10.7.5 can send but not receive emails. Mail server support rep tried everything

Using iMac with OSX 10.7.5. Can send but not receive emails. No problem with internet account. Server rep tried everything and suggested perhaps a corrupted file in the op syst. Any ideas?

You may have a corrupt preference. Mail - Preferences - Accounts - click the offending account and re-enter all prefereneces. Also you can use Apple's OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages located at:

Exchange mail- can send but not receive?

Check with your Exchange administrator.

TB stopped receiving emails after one with huge attachment. Updated TB. Can send but not receive. Using Yahoo POP server. Browser access works fine.

Several days ago, after receiving a 7MB attachment, I stopped receiving email on my Yahoo POP account. Browser access to the Yahoo server works fine. I obviously deleted that message and attachment but curiously, it and only it continued to be downloaded to my inbox!!! I tried downloading a new TB and installing it. Nothing changed except that specific email no longer appeared (another did though, see later). Settings are to leave msgs on server until I delete them. I transferred all my inbox to a local folder and then compacted mail and tried testing reception from another source and nothing appeared on TB, just on browser access. Oddly, one very old message repeatedly appears, I assume as a result of the auto check for new mail but not sure. Though I try to delete this old message, I can't. I haven't removed and recreated account yet because I don't want to lose all the filter history. Scanned for solution and can't find any. Any ideas, please?

Starting your mac in safe mode will disable the Symantec stuff long enough to download mail. Should the issue arise again

I rec'd yellowish admail, I can't delete it, I can send but not receive email. "Cannot Get Mail,connection to server failed". This is on Wi Fi from my lap top which has no problems?

The adware comes in on my sub account (almost hourly), it is always on top of my Inbox. It's funny I can send and receive from my sub account, just not my main account.
I am able to get Safari. I see one previous suggestion to delete account, but I'm afraid I would then lose my email address. I tried on another wi fi and still had the same problems. I also saw it may be a password problem, but if that is so how do I get Safari? I also rebooted. Any suggestions?
Thanks

If you delete your mail account from your iPad you won't lose your address. I've deleted and re-added my mail account several times.
It'd be the same as.....I have a favorites list for a website. I can delete that favorites list, but the website is still out there. I just need to retype the address. Same thing with the mail.
The worst that'll happen is that you'll have to redownload your mail onto your iPad.
Who is your mail provider? Are you accessing it via their app (for example the yahoo app) or are you accessing it via safari or via the iPad's mail app?

Can send but not receive mail

I have a macbook with OS 10.5.8 and Mail 3.6
I have an imac with OS 10.4.11 and Mail 2.1.3
Both have been working fine with my mac.com / me.com account for a long time but Mail and the MacBook has suddenly stopped receiving messages - although it can still receive them. I've compared the settings on the two computers and they still look identical.
Any suggestions as to what to try next?
Thanks
Ben

Let's check whether the rules could have a bearing on this:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3a. If running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), locate MessageSorting.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageSorting.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too.
3b. If running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see the old MessageSorting.plist files there; they are no longer used by Mail 2.x, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
4. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
5. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
6. Go online again if you went offline in step 4.
If the problem persists after doing this, then you know the rules have no bearing on it, and you may move the files on the Desktop back to the ~/Library/Mail/ folder, overwriting any files Mail may have created anew there (quit Mail first).
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

I can send but not receive email using Mail and Comcast

My incoming mail [Mac Mail 3.6(936) ] slowed and now has stopped. I get error message "mail.comcast.net" on port 995 timed out. I can send. I can receive at Comcast.net. I have tried changing the port setting to 101 and no SSL and 587 (the comcast online set up guide), etc. and sometimes it works once then fails again. I have deleted the p-list in the Mail Library and restarted and still nothing.
I deleted the account and set it up again but still no luck. Oddly the Preferences says deleting the Accounts will delete everything but the Mailboxes are still there. Part of the problem?
I do not have this issue using Thunderbird which is a program I do not like.
I used Comcast's various online guides, a long useless chat and useless email to no avail. My Primary Account Holder email (which I never use) works but not my every day email account.
MAC OS 10.5.8
MacBook Intel Core Duo
Mac Mail 3.6(936)

*Sorry didn't see how old this thread was* Jono1968 if this could help you......
Here is what I would try -
Run the disk permissions utility....see if a repair works....
On the mail menu, go to Window => Connection Doctor - do you see errors (red dot) If so, what does it say the error is caused by?

Can send but not receive from .mac using Mail

I've a problem that pre-dates the mobile me change where the Mail application won't download mail from my .mac account. The most recent email downloaded was from three months ago and since then I have had the tilde character showing next to my .mac account indicating there is a problem.
I have no problem sending mail from my .mac account, and emails from other non .mac accounts are downloaded without any problem. Webmail is ok - previously in .mac and now in mobile me and until now I've been logging in that way hoping it will resolve itself, but obviously it hasn't done.
Any help or pointers will be gratefully received.
Thanks
Andrew

Hello,
All dot.Mac and Dot.Me account have migrated to iCloud.
You should have been given details of expiry for the .Mac account to iCloud. Apple have now shut .Me and .Mac account for web access.

From mac mail, I can send but not receive mail. Also, on the same mac, I can run mail through Entourage and no issues with sending or receiving

only found this problem with mac mail , when new hard drive waqs installed!!
i CAN SEND from mac mail
When I first set it up, i could receive mail but not send and now its the other way around
I cannot receive mail.
However, under Entourage mail, i have not problems with similar settings!!
Can you help, this is wrecking my head!!

What do you see if you invoke Mail's menu option Window > Connection Doctor?

TS3276 Ever since I upgraded to OSX Lion I have not been able to receive email from Comcast. I can send but not receive. I have dealt with Comcast on several occassions and after trying all the usual remedies they cannot get it to work.

After several attempts with Comcast to fix the problem of receiving mail, I am hoping someone here can give me sound advice. Ever since I upgraded to OXS Lion I can send email through Comcast account but, cannot receive it

Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios that you have already tried w/Comcast.
==============
Your post states you are using Lion.
Your system profile confirms you are using Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8)
You posted in the Mountain Lion forums (OS 10.8.)

Can send but not receive mail in outlook 2013

I just started to have the same issue. I have multiple PC's all running outlook 2013 and one of them just stopped receiving mail.
The others work fine, and yeah I check that it is set to receive mail in the options, along with many other typical tasks like dissabling the av.
This is on WIN 7 pro.
I have uninstalled office. Deleted my ost and pst. Reinstalled office and re-created my mail account. Same issue. There must be some other setting in my profile or registry that is persisting
I am about to go back to Office 2010, I have already gone back to Win 7 after a terrible experience with 8.1 and its media centre licence issue and lack of driver support (which worked under WIN 8!!).
Seriously Microsoft! Do you just hate people?

Hi,
What is the account type? Exchange, IMAP or POP3? Is it working fine to receive emails on Webmail(OWA)? It is preferred if you could provide any error code/message.
The first thing that should be checked up is if the account has been setup properly, you may need to contact your ISP(Internet Service Provider) to get the information you need to setup the account.
If you press Send/Receive All Folders button, can you get new messages? Please go to
SEND/RECEIVE tab -> Send/Receive Groups ->
Define Send/Receive Groups -> For All Accounts, under
Setting for group "All Accounts", set Schedule an automatic send/receive every "X" minutes, we can set
X as you need.
Please create a new profile to test if the issue persists:

Can send but not receive in Mail

I can't send out email in Mail, despite having the right settings. (I have gone over this with support.) I have used Mail for years, and this has only been a problem since upgrading to Leopard. Saw Pascal's answer to zfalstaf on Jan 7 and tried all his suggestions but nothing helps. Erased my account and reinstalled it. No good. The same settings work in Thunderbird.
Error message: Cannot send message using (Mailbox name) Out
+OK X1 NT-POP3 Server (URL Name Here).com (IMail 9.10 750087-2)
Connection doctor sometimes connects to POP Mail server In, sometimes doesn't. Always gives red light on SMTP server.
Help!

Thanks for the quick reply, Pascal!
I posted the error message above, if that helps. Maybe it just confuses the matter more...
I have just the one email account. I only use my Mac at home.
Your reply in the post to zfalstaf:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1329221&tstart=105
1) quit mail, launch again
2) shut down mac, the launch again
3) go to mail>preferences>accounts and in the account information pane, click on the smtp drop down menu and select the smtp info for that account, then in both account information and advanced delete the info and enter again and save
4) go to same location as 3) above, and try different ports, such as 587, 465... does switching ssl do anything?
5) go to your keychain access app and look for the password used for that account, is everything all right? maybe delete and save another one, or maybe there are more than one thereby confusing mail.app
6) repair permissions in applications>utilities>disk utility
7) delete that account, go to keychain and delete that password, then create from scratch
(Me again: I have done these, and they have not helped. Hope you have some other thoughts. Thanks!)

TS3899 iPhone 5 s , can send but not receive email with exchange server

need help

Hello js:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Glad you were able to resolve the problem. If you have not done so, you might want to activate the junk mail filter. That mail may have been picked off by the filter.
