Problem with corrupted Mail program

This all started because my battery is so weak at this point that if I unplug for more than a few minutes, the system just blinks off....which is exactly what happened while the Mail program was doing something important. When I rebooted, my mail program was completely corrupted.
Now it hangs while checking mail and registers up to 24 new e-mails, but shows none of them, or simply fetches the same e-mail over and over again in each folder. Then it freezes up while the progress whirlygig thing goes around and around...even if I take a mailbox off-line it seems to do this same thing.
I disabled some of the mailboxes and found that this erased the content of all my e-mails in each folder that was disabled.
Meanwhile, it will actually send mail perfectly well.
If I remember correctly, reinstalling my system software will not fix this problem, unless there's something I don't know about. (These days there are many of those things.) Is there a preferences folder I can trash or something I can do to fix my mail program, while hopefully saving my past e-mails (I can dream, can't I?)? Suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks so much!
Jennifer

Golden Shoes:
Thanks for the quick response.
I have a POP account. Several.
Also, I don't run the computer without the AC. It was being moved from a desk to a table when it shut down suddenly before I could reattach the cable.
Would the mail preferences be located in the user folder? I tried getting rid of them and still had the same problem. I'm worried about tossing something global out when I shouldn't.
Finally, if you don't mind, snark never solved a problem. I'm sure you have nothing to prove and if you do, I don't need to know. I simply had a question since I am new to this operating system.

  • Having Problems with my mail Program

    I am having Problems with my email account. I am still on OS snow Leopard and just recently ordered the Newer Mac mini with Lion.
    I use to have the Mobile Me account, since I haven't switched over to iCloud yet, I still have the Mobile Me account set up in my email account and still have the Mobile Me idisk on my desktop.I also have my other local isp email account in my mail program. Just now I am getting a email problem from my other email account, I am getting my email but I get a pop up window that request my password from my other email account and at the top of the side bar where the mail icons are on the left side there is a "A" with a Circle around it next to my mail icon or sometimes a " ~ " (Tilda)  next to the mail icon. I tried to contact my ISP to ask them if they were having propblems at their end but they didn't get back to me, they usually do get back to me.
    Since I have the Mobile Me email account un active, am wondering if the mobile me account is effecting my other active email? am also wondering if the computer still thinks that the Mobile me email account is still active and is trying to get mail through my other active email account?
    Does someone have any soloutions for me? or can someone Please help me? cause this is very fustrating cause that Password wondow keeps popping up and I can not turn it off from popping up unless I completly quit the mail program but if I restart it or reopen it up, it starts all over again.
    Please someone Help me if you know what is going on here?
    Thank You,
    Mrs. Trisha Foster

    you might try to look for the VACUUM command (do a google search on: mail.app vacuum).
    The ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index file is a SQLite database. it does slow down as things are added and deleted. You can also find people who suggest deleting (or moving this file to the desktop or somewhere else) after quitting MAIL and then restarting MAIL... it will tell you it needs to import all your mail... it SHOULD find all the mail and rebuild the "Envelope Index" file. You can try it.

    I have many problems with my mail since I moved to mavericks. The filter is very sensitive, read mail appears as unread, I can't drag mail to the folders and more. I can't update the mail program as directed on this page, update says my system is updated

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!

  • Problem with Apple Mail since OSX Mavericks

    Hello Folks,
    since i've updated my mid-2012 iMac to OSX Mavericks, i have a problem with Apple Mail: When i start the Apple Mail, the program says that it could not connect to the icloud mail server, and that i should enter my icloud passwort. When i do this, everything works fine. But that annoys me, because it worked without any problem under OSX Mountain Lion.
    Has anyone an idea what i can do to fix this?
    Regards,
    Alex

    In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

    Problems with icloud mail constantly auto-saving - screen freezes. VERY frustrating. running windows 8. same problem through safari, explorer and chrome. Any suggestions to reduce auto save frequency?

    Hi Csound1
    approx every 30 seconds the browser freezes and 'saving' appears in the top bar of icloud mail. The cursor starts spinning and then after about 8 secs I can start typing again. I also fiund that about 5-6 times a day my icloud browser tab showing mail just close and return to the main icloud menu page showing icons for mail, calender, notes etc

  • HT4864 I am getting a triangle with an exclamation point next to my inbox...it says: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again.  The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in

    I can send but cannot recieve email
    This is the messege I am gewtting:
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
    The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
    The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailable

    Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

  • Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud.  I have verified the settings.  I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

    Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
    This is a long-time problem.  I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
    I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network.  Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
    "The server returned the error:  The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
    Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
    Well, you get the idea …

    Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
    iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
    The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
    The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • Problem with a wrapper program.

    Hi all,
    we are facing problem with a wrapper program,through which we are calling three different xml reports.
    when we independently submit these xml reports thorugh front end .
    All the three programs run successfully & gives the desired output.
    but when we run this through wrapper program.
    All ths three programs run successfully ,but don't give output,i.e. output file comes as blank.
    when I 'VIEW DETAILS" on the SRS window, the only difference between the independent program & the report through wrapper program is the 'UPON COMPLETION..'part.
    The 'UPON COMPLETION..'part. for the independent program shows the RTF Template Layout name ,while the program submitted through the wrapper program doesn't show the layout name.
    i have registered all the three reports as XML REPORTS,while the wrapper program as "package_name.procedure_name" & 'TEXT' as an output format.
    can anybody tell us , the problem??
    thanks.

    Wow, that's a lot of work. This isn't any different than PL/SQL in the real Oracle world. Parameters are named or positional. Named input uses the assignment operator of =>. Positional takes them in order per the procedure/function signature. In SQL*Plus, do a desc on fnd_request (owned by apps) and tell us what the "default" column represents.
    If you have been typing in all arguments, figure out how many times you've done that, how much time it took, multiply it by your hourly rate, and then tell your manager you owe your company that amount of money for having wasted so much time.

  • Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

    I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) -  but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
    It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

    go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into 
    and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
    You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
    If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there.  This is what Barney previously posted about that:

  • Problem with the "mail me" button

    Since I installed both Iweb 09 and Snow Leopard, there is a problem with the "mail me" buttons on my websites. Nothing happens when i click on it even if i see my web adress when my cursor is on the button.
    Do somebody had the same problem and do you know how to avoid it.
    Thanks a lot

    I checked your site and found that the mail me button was not overlapping or touching any other object and positioned entirely in the footer of the page. All looks good and it works for me. You might try moving the button, logo and counter to the bottom of the page content section, publish and see if that makes a difference for those computers that can't.
    Try the following on your Macbook, open Safari, clear the cache (CommandOptionE), load your site and try again. If that makes it work for your MB tell your friends to clear their caches and try again. Might be something as simple as that.

  • I've a problem with my mail app

    I have a problem with my mail app, after upgrading mavericks.
    My mail app was worked well, before I upgrade.

    I can use my gmail account with safari or other web browsers, but not in the mail app.
    That was happening both of my macbook pro, and macbook air, but not on my iPad and iPhone.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?
