Mail vs. new OS

Sooooo, I just downloaded 10.5.6 like a good soldier, but after restarting Mail won't cooperate. When I open the app the viewer won't open, and when I select new viewer none of my old messages are not there. Big Deal for me. What's more, it won't connect either of my email addresses which obviously means I am unable to send and receive. Coincidence?

Do not discard your "Previous System" folder until you have rebuilt each mail box. Unfortunately you have to rebuild each mail box separately. Select the mailbox, then go to Mail/Mailbox/Rebuild. If you have nested mailboxes you have to rebuild each mailbox at each level.
I archive every substantive email - so I have >1,650 mailboxes. Now I have the emails but my problem with pdf and graphical attachments continues. Mail crashes when I try to attach a file of those types or when it encounters an email with a pdf or graphical file type. About 20% of my emails.

  • Home page - whenever I open, it does not "refresh." When I go to yahoo mail, my "news" tab continues to show Jul 14th headlines, etc.

    Home page is yahoo mail and news... it never refreshes... I'm looking for the option to refresh each time the web page opens. Thanks

    If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • DRAG AND DROP, OR MOVE MAIL TO NEW SMART MAIL?

    HI,
    I DO NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DRAG AND DROP OR MOVE OLD MAIL INTO NEW SMART LOCATIONS?
    CYFROMAYO

    Smart mailboxes are not storage locations. They are simply a kind of remembered search. You cannot put things in those mailboxes, they simply show anything found in other mailboxes that matches the criteria you defined.

  • How do I display sent mail on new ios7 on I pad?

    How do I display Sent mail in new ios7 on iPad?

    The same way you did before, by going to the Sent Mail folder in the Mailboxes list. Other than the overall look, the Mail app hasn't changed substantially in iOS 7.
    If you continue to have issues or have other questions, I'd suggest you post in the iPad forum. The forum in which you posted this thread was for questions about the Communities themselves (though the thread may have since been moved by the Hosts).
    Regards.

    I haven't changed any prefs, only clicked Safari as mail was being launched.

    Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Why is Mail showing new messages when nothings there?

    I decided to delete the Apple RSS feed from my mail, and suddenly the mail icon on shows 17 new messages (the same amount that were present in the RSS feed when it was deleted) and I don't know how to get it to stop showing it.
    This is really ******* me off because I never wanted a RSS feed in the first place, now that I get rid of it, I'm stuck with this huge red "17" on my mail icon.
    So can somebody tell me how to get rid of it?

    Nevermind. For some reason when I attempted to quit mail, the new messages dissappeared.

  • Can't move e mail to new phone

    I damaged my old phone. It was replaced today..
    Everything was going well other than the email.
    I go to set up, select e mail accounts. I get the message saying a new device has been detected. The app show my seven accounts. I select Move Email Accounts and for each one I am asked to enter the password which I do. Each time the app says the password is validate. After entering all seven everything seems toi be OK. No error message. However it just hasn't worked. The e mail is not showing. When I return to setup I am once again asked to go through the same process and get the initial message saying I have a new device.
    This presently makes the whole phone a waste of time.
    I have tried entering the e mails as new ones, but this is rejected as they are already on the machine. What can I do about this?

    I have the same problem, anyone have any ideas?

  • Have iMac with IMAP email, 3rd party.  Use a rule to sort emails into various boxes. One box does not appear on Mail in new iPhone 5C. Emails sorted into that box are also missing.

    Have iMac with IMAP email, 3rd party.  Use a rule to sort emails into various boxes. One box does not appear on Mail in new iPhone 5C. Emails sorted into that box are also missing. Any suggestions?

    In which this just gets weirder and weirder...
    I logged onto iCloud.com, signed into my account and created a rule there that emails from my husband's address should be allowed into the inbox. I sent another test msg from him to me and got the New Mail notification sound, the new mail showed up but in a flash disappeared. This happened in the space of about 3 seconds.
    Messages from his email address are not even showing up in the Trash folder. WTH?

  • Having trouble setting up e-mail on new iPhone 4s. I would like to sync with my outlook mail, contacts

    I am having trouble setting up my email and syncing my outlook calendar wiht my new iphone 4s.

    How do you connect to the internet?
    Most of the time, the problem lies here. You can try a couple of things. First, try only 3G or carrier data. Then, try only wifi. If that still doesn't work, your only other option is to try a different hotspot.
    I had the same problem before when I updated to iOS 4.3. I thought it was the update at first. I usually have the carrier data turned off because my plan doesn't have an unlimited provision for it. I forgot that I also switched ISPs from DSL to a visibility unit package - meaning I had to setup my laptop so that I could get wifi from it. I realized this when I visited a friends house that I knew I could connect properly before.
    My problem was with my laptop. It seems that Little Snitch blocks the ports being used for mail and push notifications. I haven't figured it out exactly since I still can't get email when I'm using my laptop connection. But, it works fine when I'm using ONLY 3G or both/wifi only if connected to a different hotspot.
    Hope that helps.

  • Mail started new again... how do I get my old Mail back?

    Mail asked for info like when it's first installed, now all my drafts and marked infos are gone. I want my old mail back!
    I found it in the Library... but how do I make it see it now?
    I erased the new, but when I opened, there was again
    Strange...

    Most such cases happen because of a shortage (even if temporary) of free disk space on your hard drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition. The preference is overwritten, but not the message data itself.
    If this happened, simply re-enter the account setup info, and then be sure to DECLINE any prompt to Import. When the accounts are again set up, Mail can rediscover the existing mailboxes and account folders.

  • What is causing very slow outgoing mail on new iphone 5?

    Hi, I just got the new iphone 5 and set up mail with the auto options that the iphone gives me. It's for Gmail and yahoo. I can receive just fine on both, but both have issues sending. It will take 5-10 mins to send an email. I've done everything I've read that is supposed to fix it... delete accounts, set up again, shut down phone, restart, etc, etc. I've scoured the interwebs and can't find a solution. 
    If I set up gmail through the microsoft exchange, it works, but why won't it work through the pre-set up gmail account? Any ideas? Is it something to do with the SMTP?  HELP!
    Thanks...

    Another way to continue using assistive touch and reducing the lag completely is to go to Settings>General>Assistance>Increase contrast>On
    This solved it for me but I am hoping its just a part time fix as I enjoy the translucent visuals. Increase contrast basically takes away the layering found across the OS. My lock button is broken so I am forced to use assistive touch and this is really the only thing I can do rightnow. Try it out it should work well for you if you're willing to make a small sacrifice.
    However, Apple should adress this issue as the iPhone 5 should be able to handle this kind of load from the OS without any issues especially considering that the 5C, which comes preloaded with iOS7 has the same internal hardware.
    Hope this helps you, for the time being until Apple, hopefully, fixes this issue.

  • How to get rid of google mail in "new calendar" menu?

    Hi there,
    it's not a big problem, but it drives me crazy: month ago I tried google calendar and synced iCal with this. Since then, in my menu for creating new calendars I have two options: local and google mail. Because I don't want to use google calendar anymore, I want to get rid of it in the menu. I tried several things in Preferences and Calendars, but without success. Could anyone help me?
    Thanks
    Klaus

    I got it by myself: one just have to delete the cache-files in the directory Calendars - that's it.
