Why cannot I not see my mac mail folders?

Why can I not see my mac mail folders on my iPad?

I also use MobileMe and yes it uses IMAP by default.
Okay, it's simple than. The folders you've created are local folders which are not stored on the server.
In order to change that open Mail.app select Mailbox->New Mailbox and make sure you choose MobileMe at Location.
Now drag&drop your "On my Mac" mails into that new "MobileMe" folder. After a few min. they should be synced.

Why am I not receiving my AOL mail?

Why am I not receiving my AOL mail? I receive it on my phone and on other computers but not my iMac.

Go Mail - Preferences - Accounts and re-input all the settings for it even if they look OK. From time to time a setting can become corrupt, on the surface it looks fine but underneath it's not OK. If you re-input that will remove the old setting and input a new one and this frequently helps.

Why do I not receive iCloud e-mails when there is a specific group of "To:" addresses in the body of an e-mail

I noticed this when I started my iCloud e-mail account a few months ago. I am not receiving iCloud e-mails when there is a specific group of "To:" addresses in the body of an e-mail. I can receive the e-mail on my outlook & local cable providor e-mail accounts with all of the addresses listed. If I strip out the "To:" addresses and send it from my local cable providor e-mail account to my iCloud e-mail account than I will receive the e-mail in my iCloud account (minus all of the "To:" addresses that are in the body of the e-mail. This has caused me to miss a lot of e-mails.
Following is one of the e-mail that I can send from my cable providor account and not receive it in iCloud. If I strip out all of the "To:" addresses I will receive it in iCloud. I have a case open with Apple but it is not going anywhere. This occurs from multiple sending internet service providors (ISP's) so I think it's an Apple iCloud e-mail processing issue.

I've been having a very similar problem to what ziemsen describes, for about a week now. The Mail app has stopped delivering new messages to the Inbox, even though I can view the newly incoming messages on the server via Webmail. I am able to send email through Mail with this email account, and as for the other email accounts that I have on Mail (which are also hosted by the same server), I am able to both receive and send email with no problem.
None of the mail settings have been changed, so how this happened all of a sudden is very puzzling. I have checked Account Info on the problem account - Mail recognizes that there are messages that are on the server yet to be downloaded, but it won't download them.
I've checked what other users have suggested here in the Discussions Forum, and tried: 1) deleting the problem Mail account from Mail and re-adding it; 2) creating a new machine User account and setting up Mail with that User; 3) setting up Mail on another machine; 4) archiving and re-installing OS, and even 5) wiping the HD entirely and reinstalling the OS. None of these have worked.
Ernie, your suggestion of deleting the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file sounded like the solution to the problem, so I just tried it - but to no avail. Mail delivers messages that are on the server to my Inbox up until the same point that it always stops at, and there are almost 1000 new messages since then.
I am pretty lost at this point - I have no idea what else I can possibly do to resolve this problem. The strange thing is, when I tested my email accounts on Microsoft Entourage and Mozilla Thunderbird, they don't have this problem - both deliver all of my incoming mail. I may have no choice but to switch to one or the other at this point, but I'm attached to Mail and would really like to continue using it if I can. Any advice would be much much appreciated.
very best,

AIM mail suddenly not received by mac mail

Hi-
I have been using my new AIM account on my Mac Mail for about 6 months now with few problems.
The other day Mail decided to not send out any of my AIM mail although it was able to receive them. This lasted for a day and a half and then corrected itself.
Last night Mail is not receiving any of the AIM mail, although it is able to send it out (although VERY slowly). It is still trying to receive mail but cannot as of this morning.
I have checked the Mail settings and they seem fine. Mail is still able to be sent and received without a problem on the AIM mail site.
How can I see if the problem is with Mail, AIM, or even just me?
Thanks!

I discovered the problem. I had tried to send some photos that made a very large file. Mail tried and tried to send it but I finally stopped it. In the meantime it had copied the 44.1 M email 260 times! I deleted and emptied the trash and now all is well!

Optonline does not receive my Mac Mail

I use Mac Mail for various email addresses (comcast, gmail, mac/me) and I usually have no problem sending mail.
I have had a problem not getting a person using Optimum (Optonline.com) to receive any of my emails. It just does not get to the person (he's in his 80s, so I can't just say "get a gmail account") I receive mail from him just fine, but if I reply or start a fresh email, it just goes into outerspace, with no indication that it gets bounced, returned, or anything.
I did have success by using Moble Me WEB interface rather than my SOFTWARE Mail interface. Which leads me to believe it is related to Optonline not liking something that Mail is doing to the email???
This is a client, so its kinda embarrassing to keep wondering if they got my email etc.
Thanks, Dennis

Thanks Bob and Ernie
I have his address correct, because the problem exists even if I REPLY to his mail. Nothign gets there.
BUT when I tried the Web-based version of .Mac/Mobile Me it went thru. The only difference was that the failed transmission came from the SOFTWARE based "Mail" program that is part of the Snow Leopard, which I used happily for 8 years. I wonder if there is some kind of formatting/preference that Mail interjects that Optonline thinks is evil? I have never knowingly, had this problem with any other recipient.

Why can I not receive sympatico e-mails on both my non-apple lap top and my i-phone 5 and i-pad 3?

I had a i-pad 3, non-apple desktop and laptop all receiving sympatico e-mails. When I purchased the iphone 5, I now cannot receive my sympatico e-mails on both the ipad and iphone at the same time. If I turn off one of these devices, the e-mails populate in the opposite device. Apple support had me turn off "Fetch New Data" from my e-mail account. My incoming server is pop.bellaliant.net and my out going server on my phone is mail.1xbell.ca and my ipad is smtpbellaliant.net
Has anyone experienced a similar issue?
Thanks for you help

Why am I not receiving an e-mail to reset my security questions

I created my Apple ID years ago, but I can not remember the answers to my security questions. I have tried to reset it by email, but to no avail have I gotten that email. I check my inbox everyday. How do I reset the answers to my security questions?

Hello Farr1sable,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning Apple ID issues:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
Additional Information
The email address will not be marketed to as a result of designating it as a rescue email address. If you previously designated this email address to receive marketing, it will continue to do so.
If you decide not to provide a rescue email address, you can't reset your security questions and answers yourself later in the event you can't remember the answers to your questions. You'll need to contact iTunes Store supportto have your questions and answers reset.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Mail is no longer deteted on server once received via mac mail- why is this happening?

mail is no longer deteted on server once received via mac mail- why is this happening?
even though box to delete mail once recived is ticked in mac mail account preferences

This box has always been ticked and in the past no copies remained on server, now for no reason I can find the copies are put in the trash folder on the server and have to be manually removed.
Maybe your isp changed what "delete from server" means and that's what they do now. I would check with your ISP before blaming a mail program local to your machine.
If you want to try a "controlled experiment", set up another mail program, e.g., Thunderbird, and send a message to yourself. See if the message is treated the same way. Note, Thunderbird, like most (all?) mail programs also has an option to delete messages from the server.

Mail is no longer deleted on ISP's server once received via mac mail- why is this happening?

Why is mail no longer deleted on ISP's server once received via mac mail?
The box to delete message from ISP's server once it is downloaded is ticked in Mac Mail account's prefrences and this option in the past did delete it from the ISP's server. It no longer does this, it only moved the copy from the ISP's in box to the trash so now the recived message has to be manually removed from the ISP's trash.
Does Apple need to supply a patch to put this right?

Hi Log into your account via Webmail in a browser & see if you have a setting like this...

Why am I not receiving ALL my e-mail in Ipad. I get it on PC and blackberry

why am i not receiving all my e-mails on ipad2? I get them on my blackerry and on my pc.

I believe most PC mail programs by default are set to delete messages from the server once they are downloaded onto the PC. So if you access your email on your PC before your iPad checks for email some messages won't be there. To minimize this make sure you have Push set to on and Fetch set a short time limit (not Manual).

Why am I not receiving e-mails with activation code for e-print ?

why am I not receiving e-mails with activation code for e-print ???? Have requested resends of e-mail several times -- but nothing as yet

Hi yvonnek49,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that when trying to activate the HP ePrint app that you haven’t received the activation code.
Which email address are you using to activate the app, your personal email or the printer’s ePrint email address? If you have been using the printer’s ePrint email address, please try again with your personal email address. If you have been using your personal email address, please check your junk/spam folders to see if it was redirected there. It can take up to 24 hours to receive the email.

I have been successfully sending out e-mails to all people listed in a Group Address but yesterday only some of the people received their mail. Today I split the list, 25 in each Group Address, again, the same people did not receive their e-mail. Why?

I have been successfully sending out e-mails each month to about 50 people whose addresses are listed under a Group Name. Yesterday about half of the e-mails were received, the other half weren't. So I tried splitting the group into 2 separate Groups, again the list who didn't receive the first mailing again did not receive the second mailing. There does not seem to be anything that connects the recipients or non-recipients. They have a mix of providers, it was not just the first half of list that was affected, it appears to be totally random. Any suggestions?

Neither of these error message look like they're from Exchange.
Connected to 68.232.130.28 but connection died. (#4.4.2)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue to long.
Are those from NDRs someone in your organization received, or are they from NDRs received by a sender outside your organization?
Is 68.232.130.28 your IP address? The IP address resolves to the name esa2.firstam.iphmx.com. Is that a MX for the recipient's domain?

Not receiving certain e-mails but can receive these e-mails on PC with Windows Mail

Not receiving certain e-mails on iPad but can receive these e-mails on a P C with Windows Mail

Right-Click (or Ctrl-Click) on any mailbox and choose Get Info (you can also invoke this window by typing Command-I). Now, in the Account menu, choose the account that isn't working properly. Does Mail display all your messages there, even those that it fails to download?
If the answer is yes, don't close the Get Info window yet. I'm going to propose a solution that will cause all your mail still on the server to be re-downloaded again as if it was all new, no matter how old it is or whether Mail had already downloaded it. Hence, before proceeding, you may want to delete any messages still on the server that you don't want to be downloaded again. You can accomplish this in the Get Info window by selecting the messages you want to permanently delete from the server and clicking the Remove From Server button at the bottom right of the Get Info window.
Now, follow these steps:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, open the HOME/Library/Mail/POP-<account-name>/ folder.
3. Move any files in that folder whose name starts with MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to the Trash.
These files keep track of which messages have already been downloaded, so that Mail does not download them again every time it connects to the server. Moving them out of the account folder causes Mail to forget that information and start downloading from scratch all over again.
For some reason, the information in these files can become inaccurate at some point for people with Comcast accounts. I'm not sure it is a file corruption problem. When these files are the problem, Comcast seems to always be involved. I wonder why your wife has not experienced the same problem, though. Maybe she just hasn't yet or maybe Eudora keeps track of downloaded messages using a different technique...
