I get all accounts whirling away but on the activity pane at the bottom it states that the working rate (incoming mails) is zero. I run 10.7.5 on a 2008 iMac, 2.8 Ghz Intel Core Duo. 4GB 800 Mhz DDr2 SDRAM. My mail accounts work fine on iPad - same settings as on the imac, so I guess there are some background files that have got corrupted? Help!

You do not say who your email service provider is????
Verify your mail sever is functioning on their end.
I see now it is working on your iPad
check your Mail>preference and verify settings
Did you shut down mail and relaunch
Did you reboot?
I have done several relaunch and it continues...reboot?? not sure what that means with regard to mail, so please specify. I did go back in time machine and reset from a time when I knew that mail was working fine, but the problem persists...😕
...and also, all of my mail accounts are affected...macmail (icloud account), gmail, my business mail prvider by another server...the lot of them! As I say, all works fine on the ipad...
thanks for the interest, I am exasperated by this..!
Open the connection doctor (in Mail, Window Menu) and see what it says. (Select Show Detail)
My mail is not sending or receiving.
