For the last 3 days, I cannot receive any e-mail into my Mac Mail program. I can send (recipients have confirmed receiving sent mail), and I'm receiving mail to my alternate Yahoo e-mail address, so I don't think the problem is on my end. Is this a problem with the mail server? I've e-mailed them with my alternate e-mail address and phone number, and have not received a response in over 24 hours.
Hi knittique Sorry to hear you are having problems,
Are you getting any error messages when you check mail ?
I would certainly call your eMail hosting company, don't wait for them to call you back...
Sometimes, a mailbox can get corrupted.
One test you can do is to use this service:
http://www.mail2web.com/
you can see if your mailbox is still active and working.
If you get this message that your OS is unable to show your email. then After installing Security Update 2012-004, you may not be able to open Mail. This alert may appear:
"You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X. You tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085). It can't be used on this version of Mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications folder on your computer."
Resolution
This can happen if the Mail app was moved from Applications to another location, such as the desktop, before installing the Security Update.
Hold down the Option key and choose Apple--- menu --- System Profiler... to open System Profiler.
Click "Applications" in the "Software" section. Note: The spinning gear in the top middle indicates a search in progress. Once completed, sort by application name and look for "Mail" to see all copies.
Make sure Mail v4.6 is located in the Applications folder-move it back there if it is not.
After moving Mail back to Applications, reinstall the Mac OS X Update v10.6.8 Combo v1.1.
Reinstall Security Update 2012-004
Finally try Thunderbar, it works!

Same problem here. The last email I received at my .mac account was confirmation that my subscription was renewed. I can see the mail if I log into the me.com account, but the mail software doesn't collect. I've tried the settings as both mail.mac.com and mail.me.com in the mail setting but, neither one solves the problem. I didn't realize I wasn't getting mail until I showed up at a meeting this morning and found out I didn't get an important update about the meeting, which made me check the web site and saw that the mail had come in but the Mail application didn't get it. Would appreciate any help, cause I can't keep going to the website to get mail at this account. Help!
