Why do I have to close out of email and reopen it to check messages?

Usually if I do not close out of an email session, when I go to check my messages later my mailboxes show a "!" symbol, indicating there is an issue; additionally, messages that I am trying to send do not go.  Once I close out and sign back in I am able to receive and send messages with no problem. 
This is only on an issue when I am using the mail function on my iMac - not when I am checking from other computers; and
This is not a password problem.  The only thing I need to do to receive messages is close and reopen the application - once I do that, messages are received (and sent) without problems.
I don't recall if I have this issue when checking mail from me.com on my home computer or others, as I rarely check messages from there.
I have an iMac 7.1 with OS 10.6.8 (not 10.4.11 as mistakenly checked off below).  This has been happening for several weeks, if not months, but since closing out and getting back into Mail was not a problem I haven't reported the issue until now.  Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • TS2755 Messages disappear in inbox.  When I close out messenger entirely and reopen it, they appear.  Also, if I only have one message unread in my inbox and I open up my messenger it automatically opens the unread message.  Very frustrating....Please hel

    I have an iphone 4s, OS 4.1.1.  I am having issues with my messenger.  When I have a message open I will see a new text come through and then it disappears.  I have to close out of my messenger entirely and reopen it.  Once I reopen the message the text reappears.  Any suggestions?  Also, if I get a new message and there is only one unopened message in my inbox and I open my messenger it automatically opens that message.  Any way to fix this so that I decide when I want to open a certain message?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Jen

    There are several possible reasons that messages seem to 'disappear'.
    There are two types of email accounts: IMAP and POP. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts
    If you have a POP account and are accessing the mail on more than one computer or smartphone, whichever device reads (downloads) the message first will have it locally, but it will no longer be listed or available on the other devices.
    If you have an IMAP account, the message stays on the server, but if one device (user) moves or deletes the message, it will affect the view on all devices. So, for example, if you are using your smartphone and take some action on an email, when you get back to your computer, it will reflect that same action (but you might not have realized what caused it).
    Sometimes the index of a mail folder (.msf) will get corrupted. If you right click on the name of the folder and select Properties, a 'Folder Properties' window will open. Select 'Repair Folder'. This may take care of the problem.
    Another, less likely, reason for messages not to show up in your inbox is having the preference set to show only unread or recent messages. Then once you read them they seem to disappear.
    If you are still having problems, please look at the following items and respond with the information.
    1) What operating system do you use (Win8, MAC, Linux, etc)?
    2) Are you using IMAP or POP?
    3) If your mail server has a browser interface (web mail access such as mail.google.com), do the messages show up there?
    4) Right click on the folder in question and select Properties.
    a) Number of messages?
    b) Size on disk?
    5) Left click on the account name; View settings for this account; highlight Server settings;
    What choices are marked under "When I delete a message"?
    6) What, if any, antivirus program do you have installed?

  • How do I make ff4 update all currently open browsers when I move tabs around? It used to be automatic. Now I have to close all my brosers and reopen them for the change to take effect.

    How can I make FF4 update all currently open browsers when I move tabs in 1 browser. The change used to be auto and applied to all open browsers last time. Now I need to close every open browser and reopen for the effect to take over.

    I use that add-on. Works great.

  • Why should we have to close the result set and statement

    I am told that , I have to close my connection , result set , statement objects in finally block.
    why we need to do this ?
    If close the connection wont it be sufficient?

    To ensure that resources are freed in the client and in the database server.
    Yes, closing the connection is enough. Except if you are a bit paranoid about broken JDBC drivers that don't close dependent resources properly - but I haven't seen such drivers in real life.
    One important reason why programmers close ResultSets and Statements is that they use connection pools. In that case the Connection is returned to the pool instead of closing it. It is good practice to close RS's and Statements in preparation for the day when you graduate to writing code where you too will want to use a connection pool instead of the sloooooow reconnect-close-reconnect-close-etc.

    Your issue is different from the OP's.  In the future, post your own thread to get answer to your specific questions.
    For the OP: Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and set it to your preferred time.
    For you: Create a backup and restore the device as new and test it to see if it still gets very hot.

  • Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so.  I have closed all applications.  Can anyone help? Many thanks

    Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so.  I have closed all applications.  Can anyone help? Many thanks

    Thanks Kurt!  I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close.  I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank.  In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well.  Thanks for your help!

  • Why do I have 2 versions 15.0.0 and 15.0.1 of FireFox in my control Panel Window Vista x86?

    I noticed that I have 2 different versions of Firefox 15.0.0 and 15.0.1 in my Control Panel in Window Vista. Before I do anything, I need to know why do I have 2 Firefox in my system and how did it happened. Is it safe for me to uninstall the old versions? If so, how? I am a beginner, not expert on computer.
    Thank you,
    Sue

    Just to let you know when I reinstalled the program no information was lost. all of my settings are the same including the home page.

  • HT201485 why do I have to enter my Apple ID and Password several times each time I launch iTunes

    Why do I have to enter my Apple ID and password several times to enable automatic downloads each time I launch iTunes? I get no password errors.
    I've also notice that some secure websites, e.g., banks, tell me each time I log on to them  that they don't recognize my computer. I don't know if that's related.
    I use two different wifi networks each day, one work, one home

    That seems strange. Try an iPad reset and see if this fixes the problem,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

    Why do YouTube videos stop?  I have restarted,reset, played thru email and played thru app. It plays on my desktop fine.

    Okay... No flash... understand...
    So I went ahead and installed YouTube app on my IPhone... but now when I select the youtube video from Facebook I get into youtube and I can see the video I 'm trying to play, but now a message appears over the video "The content owner has not made this video available on mobile. Add to playlist to watch it later on a PC."  At that point I was able to seach & select other videos by the artist (George Strait) off youtube and play them pkay on my Iphone, but not this particular one posted on facebook.  Oh well.. I've spent enough time on this one, I know when I can't get there from here..

    You do use Siri. Hold the home button until Siri responds and say "Define bottle". Same thing, no?

    I downloaded updates for "Office for Mac" a few days ago and it won't finish.  It keeps saying I have to close Safari, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Powerpoint and I don't have any of these open.  Can anybody help me?

    Hi Anne,
    Did you do this through one of the Office app updates, or did you download it directly from the Microsoft website?
    Whichever way you tried it, I would try it the opposite way this time, although simply repeating what you did before may also work.
