Airmail tests good IMAP connection with server, and inbox count is updating as number of emails on server is increasing. Yet I have not received any emails since 26 Sep, which is probably the date when I last updated Airmail. Can anyone suggest a fix? I am using a Mac Studio M1 Max with MacOS Sonoma 14.0 (up to date).
Mac Studio, macOS 14.0
If your account USED TO use POP, those emails are stored on your computer. Only ONE reader is allowed (no iPhone pickup), or 'already Read' indicators will be bonkers.
If your account NOW uses IMAP, the email bodies are ALL stored on the Server (on the Internet) and only the Headers are sent to your computer initially. When you want to read one, the body is downloaded to you to read. When you mark as 'Read', the internet copy gets tagged as 'Read' so that all Readers (Mac AND iPhone) see that email as 'Read'.

Several of the major email Providers have increased their security levels, and are requiring more complex login sequences, and replacing "just" password with a complex token scheme. These services, including Google/gmail, AOL mail, and Yahoo are harder to set up properly, and your initial account setup MUST invoke a Web browser interface to continue the setup process and convert to token authentication. "Just password" has been discontinued.
Quit Mail & login to your WebMail in a Browser, if possible delete any later eMails there after the last rec'd one on the Mac.
I just downloaded airmail for my Mack mini but it wants me to sign up for subscription to pro. Is this not a few basic app. It works on my iPhone as free
Airmail V.M. 5.6.12 (740) does not download email from server.
