Mail not letting me add new mailbox

For some reason I don't understand Mail just recently stopped letting me add mailboxes. When I ctrl-click on an existing mailbox (or use the menu) to add a mailbox under it, it plays a "clonk" sound and that's is. No error message of any kind.
I've been using Mail for years and I do have a lot of nested mailboxes that I use to organize and archive old email going back to 10 years.
Thanks for any suggestion to fix this!

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I want to add new songs to my ipod.  When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have.  Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it.  Help!!!

    I want to add new songs to my ipod.  When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have.  Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it.  Help!!!  Is there any way around this?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

  • Custom color-palette keeps becoming read-only and will not let me add new swatches

    I need to make a custom colour palette for work that i can open on different adobe programs, share with others and add new swatches to as I go. I create a custom palette, save it a custom name but whenever I re-open it, it has become a read-only palette and I can no longer add custom swatches to it. How do I get around this problem if I need to keep adding colours to my custom palettes?
    Thanks

    In case you need to keep swatches from the ASE:
    create a new document
    empty the swatches panel
    add all the swatches from the ASE into that document's swatches panel
    add new colors as swatches
    from the swatches panel's menu select "save library"
    Also see the manual on creating swatches.

  • My iCal will not let me add new events since Jan. 1,2013. I get an error message that directs me to the console, whatever this is. Frustrating and confusing!!!

    My iCal will not allow me to add any new entries. I get an error message that says I encountered a critical error while saving to data base and directs me to te console whatever this is??? This just started after the first of the year?

    My iCal worked fine on my MacBook Pro so I ran Chronosync between my MacBook Pro laptop and iMac, the problem seems to have disappeared. Both computers have a working iCal now and I have my fingers crossed that they will stay so!!!

  • Mail wont let me add new account?

    Hi
    I have set up in my Mac Book an Exchange IMAP account which works without any issues, I am wanting to add another account but mail just beach balls.
    The account that I am wanting to add is running on another Mac at my work.
    OS 10.6.4
    Mail 4.3 (1081)
    Mac Book Pro 15"
    1) Click on "add mail account button"
    2) Window appears add full name (exactly as on other mac)
    3) Enter e-mail address (exactly as on other mac)
    4) Enter password (exactly as on other mac)
    5) click continue
    this is the point where mail beach balls searching for mail servers………….
    their is no response, If cancel the process mail becomes unresponsive and
    a force quit is required.
    i have turned of my firewall, repaired permissions, run YASU, no change.

  • Ical will not let me add new events

    Hi. I am working on a mac at my new job and I was trying to use the ical on here to setup my calendar. However, when I click in the field I get a warning message that says: "You cannot change events or To Do items on calendars you've subscribed to."
    I didn't subscribe to this calendar, it is the original calendar given to me when I opened ical. I tried adding a new calendar and adding on that but it gives me the same message. Any suggestions on what to do to fix this? Thanks!!

    Hi Cara,
    Welcome to Discussions.
    With iCal closed, try deleting it's preference file (User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist).
    If this does not work try repairing permissions. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) and select your boot volume on the left and click Repair Permissions.
    If neither of these work post back.

  • My calendar will no longer let me add new event or delete them, it comes up with an error saying "cannot save event, no end date set" or "event does not belong to that event store". can anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
    Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
    Give the datasource name, then the database name.
    You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
    There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
    It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
    Hope this helps...
    best wishes,
    Nish

  • Is there any way that I can put the 600 songs that are stored on my old PC onto my new PC?  My iPod has the 600 songs on it but my iTunes will not let me add the songs onto the iTunes on the new computer.

    Yes.
    You should have copied everything from the old computer to the new one.
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar

  • I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? Help!

    I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
    When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
    Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

  • Why won't premiere pro cc will not let me add an adjustment layer

    why won't premiere pro cc will not let me add an adjustment layer

    Glad that you got the adjustment layer issue worked out. Not quite enough info to troubleshoot the other problems. The following page outlines the kind of info that helps zero in on the cause of such problems: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
    As to the cache files and rendered previews, you do not need to keep them. Premiere will regenerate them as needed. Because re-conforming the audio and re-rendering the sequence takes time, you probably want to keep those files around for the current project--unless, of course, you have reason to think that the cache or render files are causing problems.
    To keep things clean and get the attention of more people, it would probably be best to start a new thread for the other issues.

  • 10.5 will not let me add album name. itunes stops working and shuts down

    10.5 will not let me add album name. itunes stops working and shuts down.

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • ICal-all events deleted and won't let me add new HELP!!

    Hi there,
    Recently I started my iCal and all my entries were gone. Not only that, but it won't let me add new entries no matter what I do. As well, my to do list on the right is blank and the space on the left where my calendars were listed before is also blank. If I go into my computer I can find the files from iCal with the information but they aren't showing up in iCal itself.
    HELP!!
    Thanks

    klgreene595,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    1. Can you associate this behavior with anything that you recently installed on your computer?
    2. Are you using MobileMe, or any other sync software?
    3. Do you have any backups such as Time Machine, or an iCal archive?
    4. What calendars do you have listed in your sources pane?
    5. Have you subscribed to any calendars?
    6. Do you have an iPad or iPhone?
    7. Where have you found the iCal files on your computer?
    8. Have you attempted to repair disk permissions?
    9. Try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the "com.apple.iCal.plist" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, and drag the .plist file to your Desktop. Then log out/in or restart.

    does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...

    I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
    I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
    If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
    If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else.

  • Trying to import photos and copy as DNG. Nothing will upload though. Permissions are all accurate, saving to the right profile, etc. Nothing has changed on my computer but it will not let me import new pictures. Also, updated the software and some images

    trying to import photos and copy as DNG. Nothing will upload though. Permissions are all accurate, saving to the right profile, etc. Nothing has changed on my computer but it will not let me import new pictures. Also, updated the software and some images say "preview cannot be seen" and some don't. And when I try to import and I hit "new photos" it's all the photos on my card. My brain is about to explode.

    It said something similar where the thumbnails were supposed to be.
    Just got the newest edition of LR, 4.4
    4.4 is not the newest edition of LR
    We don't want to know that it said "something similar", we want to know the exact wording. In fact, you ought to state the exact problem you are having, in detail, instead of saying you are having the same problem.
