Why am I not getting Mail to download?

As can be seen in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4441007#4441007 I was having problems seeing my accounts and contents of my mailboxes.
Now I cant download mail waiting on my pop server. Downloading mail is enabled, as is include in default checks, but even if I click 'click mail' no mail downloads! I sent myself a test mail which is on the server, waiting to be downloaded.
Yesterday I set Entourage as my default mail program - is this the cause or is there something different? I cant see how to unset it as default, or how to set Mail as default.
I can send emails from Mail, just not receive them.

I had a filter set to send everything to my spam box so thanks for making me look through my boxes before I answered you! Thanks for your help.
All I can get is the 'ping' that Mail uses to tell
me
<snip>
it has downloaded something
Incidentally, there is a ping-like sound when there
is no mail (on a manual check, not a automatic one)
so you are sure it wasn't that one?
mine pings on auto checking if Mail is either minimised or hidden, always has, so I cant explain..... I have 'play sounds' ticked in [General] and Mail checks every 5 mins.
Thanks again.

  • Why can I not get a video downloader?? They dissappear and or don't show up after selecting them fromthe add on page??

    I had a simple easy downloader on my fox page it left a green arrow on the bar for downloads, all I needed to do was click on it and pick the type i wanted (mp3 or flv etc) but youtube was giving me ahard time when I tryed to download more then one video, I would get all the same ones as the first one, so i tryed a different downloader it showed a video reel as it's symbol and it seemed to work but then I accedently clicked on something and it dissapeared. Now whenever i go to the add-ons to get one it says I's been done succsessfully but doesn't show up once I get back to my home page???Can you help fix this issue please!!

    I good video downloading software that I recommend and use, is the [http://www.freemake.com/free_video_downloader/ Freemake Video Downloader]. It is free and comes with a Firefox add-on.
    I use it to download my friends' YouTube videos.

  • Everytime i download itunes it says some of my registry keys for copy cds are not there , why can i not get it to download correctly

    every time i download itunes it says some of my registry keys are missing. i tried downloading again but same thing happens. what can i do to fix this.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

    To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
    Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
    Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
    A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
    Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
    Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
    First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
    Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
    While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
    There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
    (It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

  • TS4022 why am I not getting the Advance options when I am in my iCloud account?

    Why am I not getting the "Advance" option when I am in my iCloud account?

    There is no 'Advanced' option at icloud.com. Is this a question of changing the default email address? I quote:
    In iOS 6
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Account (your Apple ID) >Advanced: Mail.
    Under iCloud Account Information, tap your email address.
    From the list of addresses available, tap the @icloud.com email address you would like to use as the default address for sending mail from iCloud Mail.
    In OS X Mountain Lion or Lion v10.7.2 (or later)
    Go to Mail Preferences > Composing.
    Click the Send new messages from drop-down and select the @icloud.com email address you’d like to use.
    At iCloud.com
    Go to the Mail app.
    Click the Action (gear icon) menu and choose Preferences.
    Under Composing, click the Set a default address drop-down and select the @icloud.com address you’d like to use.

  • Am i being throttled? Why am i not getting what i ...

    Hi.
    I am on BT infinity.  I have the fibre modem and homehub 3.  I currently get 10mb download.  I live quite some distance from the exchange os underatand why im not getting these super fast speeds... However when i do a speedtest it flies up to 10.8mb and then stays there as if its it a wall!   When i check what BT can offer me on the "check my speed" broadband page its says i should get 15.4 download and 3.6 up, but what im actually getting is 10.82 down and 1.65up.  Is my connection being throttled as it just seems to stick at 10.8.
    Why am i not getting the 15.4 advertised and what im paying for?
    FYI
    I feel im prerty good with PCs and home networks, i've checked my speed using a wired connecttion and its the same before anyone asks me to check. 

    I think BT will cut you of Infinity at the rate your getting maty. Anything below 15000kbps is a problem. You need to get it checked out. Your predicted speeds by BT checker cannot always be accurate it just depends what the engineer gets on the install, he must of got somewhere at the time around 15000kbps else he would of cancelled the installation.

    Has any one experienced not being able to send mail and only receiving some? I get the message " can not get mail. No connection to the server! " Yet I get some mail but can not send out any. My iPad is only 1 month old! It worked perfectly for about 10 days.
    Thx

    Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:

  • I Just received the update to iTunes, when I I look at the screen I do not see the normal icons.  When I select movies I do not get the new downloads unless i select the list in the sub file. How do I get backto the old method of seeing and using iTunes??

    I Just received the update to iTunes, when I I look at the screen I do not see the normal icons.  When I select movies I do not get the new downloads unless I select the list in the sub file. How do I get back to the old method of seeing and using iTunes??

    I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account?  I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.
