I made a new account because it wouldn't let me log in on my old account and now it seems as if it's working but it won't send or receive ANY messages. This application used to work so I don't understand.

I have a problem with my mailbox. I have a Macbook and sometimes when I receive a large email, like more than 1 MB, I stop receiving emails. It seems as if my mailbox is blocked.
In the past, when this happened I would log on to my PC at home and it would download all the emails from my mailbox up to the last email I received on my macbook (the large one that caused the block) and then when I open my mail on my macbook again, I can receive emails again.
Unfortunately I don't have a PC at home anymore to use this method to unblock my mailbox. Does anyone have advice how I can unblock my mailbox on my macbook without having to open my mailbox on another computer?
how to open my mail messages (using the Mail app) by just clicking once? It's possible on my Macbook 2008 model using Leopard but my Powerbook is using Tiger.

my ip is [URL], port 110, outgoing port 587
all settings are correct (checked with provider). I can recieve on iphone, ipad etc, just not on my mac mail (although i can send email).
reset all email passwords and rebooted. Outgoing mail server is POP.
After recently installing Lion, in Mail my [URL] email address does not work. I cannot receive mail to this address. Some messages sent from this address do not seem to go out, although they appear in the Sent mailbox. A dialogue box keeps asking for my MobileMe password but does not accept it.I know I'm using the correct PW (although it is old and may not conform to present requirements)

I need to delete ALL settings in Mail...Â
I have an issue where I can receive mail but cannot send mail to any yahoo account on this Macbook Pro.
My other devices (other macs) work just fine.Â
This particular Mac - gets a 554 Error (229) under my user when I send mail to Yahoo. But under Guest, it works just fine.
I've deleted my account (gmail) and reinstalled it - but the error keeps coming back.Â
There must be some setting cached somewhere that reverts the settings back.

I downloaded MSN for mac, months ago and everything was working fine. Now, I am having problems receiving instant messages from some of my msn contacts. It seems to happen with people with email addresses ending in [URL]. I send them a message and it says "so and so is typing a message" but nothing gets through, my chat window remains blank. I do not understand what is wrong as it is happening with people I used to speak with before and there were no problems, except they just cant contact me through msn now. They are not receiving any error messages and can get all my messages fine. I am using microsoft messenger for mac V7.0.2 and its on a Macbook Pro using OSX 10.5.6.
I do not have and do not use a .mac address, I use my [URL] address for everything
It wouldn't normally annoy me, but I have to use msn to speak with clients from overseas, and its already cost me project time and people also thought I was ignoring them. It has also botched up a date
I have a MobileMe account and would like to receive incoming mail on both my laptop's Mac Mail and my work's Windows-based desktop. I thought I had achieved this when I set up my outlook to receive messages from the mobileme server, but now my Mail inbox shows up as empty.
I don't know the in's and out's of email protocols so I was just hoping someone could give me some basic instructions on how to correct the situation so that both locations have access to the email messages on the mobileme server.
I said I cannot send or receive emails with my @mac.com email address even though both email addresses are listed within the mobileme acoount. I don´t understand. I haven't changed anything or screwed up anything , actually I haven´t done anything at all, just check for emails.

I created a new account on my iMac so that she can use my iMac. I deactivated her email account in Mail in my account and activated it in Mail in her account. (Using 10.5.7 and Mail 3.6). She can send mail but not receive mail. If she sends me an email from her account, I can get it when I log in to Mail in my account. However, when I send an email to her, it is sent - but nothing shows up when Check Mail is clicked on her Mail. (If I reactivate her account in my Mail and click Check Mail, I can receive the messages that should have been sent to her account - but I don't want this to happen!).
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I'm a new Mac user, on a macbook and I really like it, but all of a sudden yesterday, I can't receive or send messages to one of my buddies on iChat. On another computer it will work, but not with iChat. My buddy will send me a message, and the red "1" will come up on the icon on the dock, but when I click on it, nothing comes up. Even further, when I click on this specific buddie's name, I will not be able to send a message, because no chat box will appear. When I have my computer show all things that are open, nothing will show up from that buddy, so...when I spoke to my AppleCare help, they said that it wasn't their fault or an app issue, that it was the other computer or the AIM server that had the problem. Is there anything I can do to pull up my chats with my friend?

How do I receive alerts of unread/new on the iMessage on my macbook air? Currently, I have unread messages but the icon on the dock of the laptop does not indicate (with the red bubble) the number of messages I have received that are unread/new. Â

After the recent combined update to OS 10.7.3 MAIL does not show images as part of received messages. Instead the messages are littered with square boxes with question marks inside them. This only happens on my MacBook Pro 2.93GHz Intel Core Duo with 4GB ram and not on my iMac running the same system.
I have tried junking preferences etc but no change. I have also made sure that the "Display remote images in HTML messages" is checked in MAIL preferences.

I got a macbook pro for christmas and i'm starting to get to grips with it and such but ive found one problem i can't solve myself. I've set up my mail account on the mac, but whenever i try to delete a message off it then if i log onto my mail account through the internet the message is still there, same if i re-open my mail app on my mac.Â

After deleting a message the already read message above becomes selected instead of the unread message below. How do I change this? I have changed the sort by field to assending and decending. I looked at my husbands mail and it does not do this. I do not see any preference options to fix it.To recap, I want to start at the top of my new messages and if I want to keep a message I will go to the next unread one and delete that one without the one I want to keep becomeing the targeted message

Mail is suddenly not displaying certain messages in mailboxes. I can see and select the message in the center pane, but when I click on it to display, I get the "Loading" text and the spinner. This continues without resolution, though sometimes the messages will display after quitting Mail and/or rebuilding the Mailbox.Â
It is not random messages that do this, but always the same ones that refuse to display. But they will display sometimes after a rebuild, so I know they aren't gone. Some have image attachtments, others do not.Â
This just started this morning, following running Disk Utility to repair some HD corruption last night. Prior to that, Mail (and Safari) had been running very slowly for about three weeks. I have already repaired permissions on this drive.

I purchased my Macbook Pro (late 2013) Retina last month and it was fine to send and receive messages through imessage.I will see a notification for the message, but when actually going into the imessage, the message is shown after maybe 5 minutes.
