Why is new email signal too late?

I'venoticed from the beginning but now it seems to be obvious. I use built in mail app for iMac access to a single account. I terminate mail app every time and workflow is to start fresh instance and push sync button.
New mail is listed without any signal/notification. After I read most of the emails I hear a audio signal which is dedicated to the configured one. So question is why this signal is played not after first new arriving of email instead after a while? As a programmer I would implement it just after retrieving the first mail. All other makes no sense.
The only indication I have is that an additional push of the sync button processes the busy cursor nearly forever. I tried with different mail account on different servers and all processes on second sync attempt forever. So most likely another iPad bug?

I'm trying to create a new account, I put in a new user ID and it said I would be sent a confirmation email hrs ago today. I even had them resend it over a dozen times and even used 2 other emails to no avail.
Why is it taking forever for me to get my account confirmation email for itunes? I did check my spam many times btw on all email accounts and I can't find any email customer service email.
Thanks
It could be:
1: iTunes website is under stress and will take longer to send out the confirmation emails, or could have a temporary problem or is having maintenance performed.
2: Sometimes, certain sites won't send emails to a certain email domain. But I would have expected that they would have mention this on the registration process.
The new user ID, the email address you provided for this, is it the same email domain has your old user ID email?
By email domain, I mean for example @googlemail.com

  • I have email on 2 pc's why is new emails showing on one but not the other

    I have one email account, but have it set up on 2 computers, new ones are coming through on one computer, not not on the other one,

    Are you using POP or IMAP?
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select the account}|Server Settings→Server Type''' will tell you.
    No menu? Press the <alt> key on your keyboard.
    If POP, you must set it to leave a copy of the messages on the server, otherwise the first computer to see them gobbles them up leaving the server empty.
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select the account}|Server Settings→Server Settings→Leave messages on server.
    If it's IMAP, then bear in mind that if you delete a message on any one computer/phone/tablet, it vanishes on the other computers/phones/tablets.

  • EM sending email alters too late

    Hi,
    RDBMS : 10.2
    OS :CentOs
    I have successfully configured EM and email alerts.
    Now I start receiving emails, but it is not sending emails instantly. I observer that it is sending email alters after 10 days of occurrence.
    How can I set email frequency to instantly ?

    alerts are delivered instantly to your postoffice. The issue is with your postoffice, not with EM.
    If you think the delay is with EM, you need to proof whether that is true and/or whether the post offfice delays delivery.
    Example: I once had an email going from one floor to another: it tooks 1.5 day.

  • Why is my email coming addressed to Holidays in Canada?

    Why is my email coming addressed to Holidays in Canada.  My google profile has my correct name, and it has my correct name on other devices, but on our new computer it comes up as Holidays in Canada. The address is correct, but the name is wrong.

    I did several things...
    1. Went into Google calendars and made sure the "Holidays in Canada" box was UN-checked
    2. Went into my Calendars on my Mac and made sure the "Holidays in Canada" was UN-checked
    3. I had a new email address too, so I went into my contacts and made sure I had my new email address under my own name in my contacts
    I then went back to my mail and it no longer shows up as "Holidays in Canada" either in the To or From fields

  • Why can't I get my icloud account to register my new email on my iPad. I have managed to change it with iTunes and Apple.

    I bought an iPad and opened up an iCloud account now iCloud won't register my new email address on my iPad! Why?

    Okay, got it working!
    My process was pretty straightforward (of course, everything is, in hindsight):
    (1) Go to my user library folder
    (2) Do a spotlight search for the word "mail"
    (3) Delete something that looks like it might be related to/possibly interfering with Mail's operation
    (4) Try Mail
    I repeated the above process a couple of times and poof, Mail started to add my accounts!  First, my Gmail account, and then, after disabling and re-enabling my iCloud account inside System Preferences > iCloud, my iCloud account too!
    The file I believe was the lynchpin was located here:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail
    Give that a shot if you can't get your iCloud/Gmail email to show up in Apple Mail 7.1 (1827) under OS X 10.9.1, despite the accounts seemingly adding succesfully in System Preferences.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: This may delete mail you have stored locally, so please do not attempt if you store your email locally (i.e. POP email setups).  I think for IMAP setups (e.g. iCloud & Gmail) this is just deleting the cached versions of the emails, so they'll just get rebuilt once the email is downloaded from the server again.

  • Late New Email notification sound

    Hi,

    this is happening to me too. hope you get an answer!

  • Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored

    Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored and updated firmware, deleted the account, anything I could think of, but it's just not accurately downloading the most recent emails.

    The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

  • I got busy over the new year and forgot to purchase Applecare for my iPhone.  30 days past purchase date is too late - right?

    I got busy over the new year and forgot to purchase Applecare for my iPhone.  30 days past purchase date is too late - right?

    Thanks Peter.  I thought about that and had discounted the idea but since I am only 30 minutes away from my A store, I think I'll give it a try. I can be charming specially when I wear clean jeans and a nice top. :-)

  • Why is the new email count inaccurate?

    Mail is not accurately reporting how many new emails are available.
    For example, I can read all of my new email, and it will still report that I have unread emails.  Also, if I do have unread emails, it won't display that is the case.  I notice the issue the most with gmail.  Why does mail seems to continue to have issues with gmail?

    Rebuild your Mailboxes and the count will probably be correct.  I have over 300 Mailboxes and had to Rebuild them all.  Once done, the problem went away and has not resurfaced during the last 2 months.

  • HT4623 Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    The update process DOES back up contacts and photos, unless you interrupted the backup. The manual tells you to sync contacts to an app on your computer, and to import photos regularly to your computer. So Apple DID tell you to back up, you just didn't bother to read it.
    If you didn't sync yet (and even if you did) connect the phone to your computer, right click on its name, and choose "Restore from Backup". If there's more than one backup choose the one with a timestamp before you updated.

  • IOS 4 - Why does my phone vibrate twice when I receive a new email?

    My email is set up as an exchange server for gmail. Whenever I receive a new email, it vibrates. I go to check the email, and it marks it as read. All is good, but then 15 minutes later, my phone vibrates again and makes the new email noise, even though there is no new email. Any ideas?
    I have an iPhone 4

    Settings > Sounds > Text Tone > Vibration > choose what you like.
    I see you're new here.  Here's a link to the iPhone User Guide.
    Good day.

  • HT5621 It says that the new email i tried to enter as my new apple id is not available. Why?

    It says that the new email i tried to enter as my new apple id is not available. Why? I was trying to change my email to a email i always use instead of one that i never do. When I went to change it it said that the email was not available. I have never used this email before for apple. Can someone please help me?

    Hello Jessica
    If you have on your previous Apple ID a rescue email address and that email address is what you are using to create a new one, then it will not let you use it. See if you can log in to your Apple ID and remove that email address.  Check out the article below for more information.

  • This morning I changed my Apple ID to my new email address.  I thought it meant that I could then use all my alias icloud email addresses with my new Apple ID because it would be the same account.  Why am I now not getting email to those addresses.

    This morning I changed my Apple ID to my new email address.  I thought it meant that I could continue to use all my alias icloud email addresses with my new Apple ID because it would be the same account.  Since then I have not received and new emails to my iCloud email addresses.  Normally I get at least  7 new emails a day, so I'm pretty sure my iCloud addresses are not working.  It would be a lot of work for me to notify a lot of people, companies, and organizations about new email addresses, so I really would like to make them work.  Will it be possible to make them work with my new Apple ID?

    Roger, I didn't know that "Delete Account" was synonymous with "log out".  Yes, I had deleted my iCloud account in my iPad email settings more than once yesterday and again one more time after I read your reply.  I then followed the instructions below to log off on my Windows PC.  I found these when I searched for how to log off of iCould:
    1- Go to www.iCloud.com
    2- Sign in with your current login info
    3- Click on your user name on top right corner
    4- Select account setting
    5- Select "Advanced."
    6- Click 2nd option, "Sign Out Of All Browsers."
    I also scanned settings for all the other apps on my iPad and changed a couple that still had my old sbcglobal email address. Later, I noticed that I was able to see my old previous iCloud emails in iCloud.com, and the couple of messages that I received from this Support Community site, but still no new emails.  Suddenly the emails started rolling in again this morning.  I have 7 new ones at the moment.  I sort of expected to get a backlog of emails from yesterday, but something tells me those were all lost as "undeliverable".  I don't know who or exactly what did the trick, but the issue seems to be fixed.  I'm using my new Apple ID, and I'm glad I don't have to get all new iCloud alias email addresses after all.
