How to enable logging for mail.app in Mountain Lion

I am at my wits end trying to figure this out....
Does anyone have a clue how to enable the logging for mail.app under Mountain Lion?
In the past, you could open up Console and click on Console.log and see the logging of mail. Under mountain Lion, there is no more console.log. I cannot figure out how to enable it.
I have tried to run the AppleScript of "Turn On Logging" but the script errors out under Mountain Lion.
Does anyone know how to do this or a better way, maybe a tool or something that can help you troubleshoot mail.app issues?
Thanks in advanced

Hello,
I have a similar problem. The script "Turn on Logging.scpt" runs without error, but I do not see any socket logging. I only get two messages, which I also get when I start mail without the script by just clicking the mail.app icon in the dock. The Messages are:
1/10/13 3:43:32.618 PM Mail[11276]: Using V2 Layout
1/10/13 3:43:36.388 PM Mail[11276]: *** -[IADomainCache init]: IA domains cache is out of date.
Any help would be appreciated

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

Mail.app with mountain lion

Is somebody else having trouble with mail.app with mountain lion? I upgraded today and I got the Message:
"Mail Stores Information in /mypathformail/ If this folder is in your computer, use the Get Info window and change permissions for folder to Read&Write"
I already checked and it is like that.
Ideas?
TIA

I know about the "get mail" button. This is what I am getting (the [!] icons next to each of the mailboxes)

My mail app in Mountain Lion freezes

My mail app in Mountain Lion freezes a few second to a few minutes after launching. I have already re-installed the OS but it didn't help. Any thoughts?
I have one exchange account that I have removed and reinstalled. I've tried to see if it's conflicting with any of my other apps, I can't find anything there either. Never had this problem before, but would like use of this app. Thanks.
Mark

More info. It seems to freeze when switching between mail and other apps. It then becomes impossible to switch back to the mail app, though mail will be indicated in the app name just to the right of the apple menu

How can I repair a corrupted Mail app in Mountain Lion?

Let me begin by stating I've been experiencing several issues in the Mail app off and on. Today, I was having trouble with my iCloud.com account not sending or receiving.
I go to remove and re-add the account under iCloud settings under SyStem Prefs, and I'm told that the mail account cannot be setup through the Preferences pane. I'm told to set it up in the mail app itself, but this resulted in it adding the imap version, rather than using push mail.
I decided to go and find every mail app related preferences file in the library subdirectories,, and deleted the mail folder. I did not locate any other .plist file anywhere else; although I could have missed them.
Can someone please point out what else I can do to clear out Mail of all data and start fresh? Now when I launch Mail, it displays my prior account info, in spite of the prior deletions.

When you open Mail, and go to the accounts, highlight the account giving you problems the click the minus sign at the bottom of the column to remove that account. The click the plus sign and setup the account again the way it should be.
See if that clears up the issue.
Alternative is to reinstall ML, but you would be better off trying to straightern out the account itself first.
To reinstall, restart holding the Command and R keys, then select reinstall, do not erase and install or you will lose all of your content.

Problem with mail app on Mountain Lion?

I need help to fix my native mail app, that stoped working. It's blocked. I'm using Mountain Lion OS. My accounts work fine in the Iphone and Ipad.

hello there, I am jumping in the conversation because I am in the same situation. Up to yesterday evening my mac was working fine, but since this morning, Mail creates a general crash of the system. When I open Maill I have the wheel working for ever, and force quit doesn't help. My solution so far has been to shut down (holding the power button down). I rebooted using the safe boot mode, installed the last update for mountain lion, restart and boom, mail crashed again.
also finder window doesn't come up front.
any help welcome.

Mail app on Mountain Lion receives no emails

I bought a new MacBook Pro with mountain lion.
I tried to set my mail account (Hotmail) .
The problem is that there are no push notifications so I configurated to check for new mails every minute!
I tried to send several emails from my account to myself but eventhough it has passed over 2 minutes...the mails wasn't in the mail app or the Notification Center...
What can i do?

This is a very tough problem, because it specifically involves the handling of Japanese text. Your crash seems to be the same as one reported on Apple Discussions Japan:
mailが予期しない理由で終了しました_...: Apple サポートコミュニティ
I think you'd have a better chance of getting help there:

Mail app in Mountain Lion doesn't check mails anymore

Right next to every mailbox there's the gray circle with the exclamation mark as if the accounts were offline. "Bring all accounts online" doesn't do anything at all, and neither does clicking on the exclamation mark. Quitting and reopening used to work for a while, now that stopped working. A restart of the computer seems to do the job, but I can't restart the machine everytime just to check mails... I tried deleting the preferences but doesn't do anything.
Really annoying, mail worked just fine before this Mountain Lion upgrade. I recently had my routher exchanged, I believe the problem startet when I put the macbook to sleep, turn of the router, and later when I come back and connect to the internet mail goes crazy.
Please anyones has any ideas before I'm going through the trouble of rebuilding the whole strucutre?
Thanks a lot!
MacBook Pro i7, 10.8.2 with supplemental update

Could it be a possibility that this issue is somehow connected to my new router? I believe this problem started with the new router... So maybe there's a port issue or something?
***Edit***
Alright, so the problem seems to have been the router blocking port 993 which is used by the pop accounts. Look like it works fine now, it had to be added as an open port in the router configuration.

Importing Eudora Address Book into Mail.App on Mountain Lion

HELP - I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion (10.8) and didn't realise this meant that my beloved Eudora died on me!
Undaunted I successfully imported my mailbox files from Eudora into MAIL albeit they need cleaning up.
BUT I cannot find the address items anywhere?!?!??!?!?
I have a MACBOOK PRO that's about 2 years old (2.4 GHz - intel 5 - 4GB RAM) if that makes a difference.
Three questions:
1) Does MAIL use the CONTACTS file on the MAC ???
2) Where the **** are the addresses? I can't see them in my "EUDORA FOLDER" IF I could find them I guess I could have a go at importing them into my CONTACTS.
3) IF sorry WHEN I find the contacts should it carry over group addresses ???
Many Thanks
PC

Can I re-install Apple's 'Mail' app in Mountain Lion?

I've seen similar posts, but none that quite match my dilemma.
I installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard 10.6.8
My mail account did not merge/migrate. By that I mean, no folders and no existing mail that was in those folders had populated themselves in my new ML Mail application.
After much Google searching, I ended up just importing them from my latest Time Machine backup and now only those folders that had email in them in my last backup sit in "Import" in those specific folders.
Now tonight, my wife's iMac account on first opening it seems to be having no problem migrating her 1,000s of emails.
The only difference I can note is that upon opening Mail, there appears TWO (2) 'In-box' windows. I let hers run and they populated/migrated her old email into all of her existing folders.
My account on the other hand, I had closed the top-most 'In-box' window, thinking I had inadvertently tried to open 'Mail' twice.
Was it my closing that 2nd window in my Mail account that caused the migration to not take place?
Can I reinstall Mail and have it migrate itself - or is there a way to force migration? I'm not convinced my Time Machine backup has all email that was there, particularly if I only imported from 1 recent backup.
Thanks in advance for any help.

How do you search for file content in Mountain Lion?

I recently upgrade my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion. I used to use spotlight to search for specific content within files before the upgrade. Now spotlight is only giving me file names and won't allow me to search for content within the files, even if I used quotations in my search. Is this just a glich on my computer or is there something I need to reset? Thanks!

Try rebuilding the Spotlight index. Go into the Spotlight privacy pane, and then add your hard drive to the "privacy" section. This will erase its index. Then remove your hard drive from the index and Spotlight will rebuild the index. It will take an hour or two.

How to enable logging for Java Web Start on Java 6.

I'm trying to get logging working in Java Web Start from Java 6. In previous versions I was able to specify a log file in the Java Web Star control panel (or whatever it was called) , but I can't work out what to do in the Java 6 version of JWS. I've checked the docs and searched the forums here and on java.net but haven't been able to find anything.
Does anybody know how I can get this working?
Cheers
Stephen.

Sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't read your e-mail properly. Note: This is a thread in a public forum, not email.
If it were email, it would be a private conversation,
between you, me and whoever we add to the addess
list. ..and you would be paying consulatnacy fees for
my participation.
On the public forum, it can be seen by anybody, and
I don't send you a bill.
And on that note, when asking for free advice on
public forums, please read replies carefully (I
might ask the same of a consultancy client, but
since thay are paying by the email - it is really
their own choice).
..the problem is that I can't find where the log file
is being written. Do you know where it writes to?..
I understand it is specified in the logging.properties
in the lib of the JRE/JDK. E.G. several locations
for my current system..
C:/Program Files/Java/j2re1.5.0/lib/logging.properties
C:/Program Files/Java/j2sdk1.5.0/jre/lib/logging.properties
C:/Program Files/Java/j2re1.6.0/jre/lib/logging.properties

How do I select multiple addresses for Mail from Contacts (Mountain Lion)

In Snow Leaopard, there used to be a button at the top of my "new message" called "Addresses," wherein I could select a bunch of contacts and drag them into the "to," "cc" or "bcc" field.
I don't want to sent my message to a whole group, just about 30 people in various groups.This was a very handy feature.
But the button's not there anymore. Where was this button moved to?! What "improved" place does it now reside?
<Edited By Host>

Sigh. Well, don't I feel like the moron . . .
Though it makes me wonder why this didn't come over when I migrated—ah, wait, yes; I had to rebuild my machine from scratch (complete wipe and reinstall of the OS done by the apple store), and the apple support guy said to *not* use migration assistant or reinistall from time machine, since the multiple problems I was having would likely sneak in with the migration.
To his credit, he spent about three hours (in that one session—there were many more) helping me rebuild my machine from scratch (although I'm still having trouble, and we're still calling back and forth—Cory's the guy's name, and it's getting to the point where I'm going to have to include him on my holiday card list, we've spent so much time together).
So my rant still stands . . . but many thanks to you for reminding me of a (admittedly not so obvious) step I should have taken *before* flying off the handle!
Thanks,
Dave
