After 10.5.6 update Mail no longer works

I just updated to 10.5.6 and now Mail (3.5) no longer works. Just before the 10.5.6 update all Mail functions were working normally. When I launch the program "Mail" appears on the menu bar but no window opens. I can select the message window from the menu bar and make it appear but it has no message list and no message content in the window. I can't make sent messages appear either. My in, sent, etc. mailboxes show on the left as usual but I can't get any messages to appear in the window for either of my mail accounts. Also, Mail won't quit without being force quit. I also did the Mail Update 10.5.6 but this didn't help. I went back and used an older 3.3 version of Mail but it won't work now either.

Hi,
Some people have reported success by trashing the preference file for Mail. Quit Mail if it is currently up and try moving this file onto your Desktop:
Hard drive -> Users -> YourUsername -> Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.mail.plist
If Mail now launches properly, reset your preferences to how you like them. If it makes no difference, quit Mail again and move the file on your Desktop back to it's original location.

After 10.5.3 update, Mail no longer displays the Preview Pane!

Please advise.

Have you tried just dragging up the bar at the bottom of the Mail window, when its dragged all the way down so all you can see is the list of messages then there is no visual clue that its been dragged shut. Sorry if this is something you have tried before. Best of luck.

After 3.0.1 update, edge no longer works

I upgraded to the 3.0.1 update and ever since, I no longer can use the 2G (EDGE) data network. 3G is certainly faster, but drains the battery in hours. Is this an "undocumented feature"? Am I doing something else that's disabled the EDGE data connection?

well...out here...we dnt have 3g yet...so my iphone 3g runs only on edge..
but after the update to 3.0.1., my phone keeps losing the network...if i restart the phone (or toggle airplane mode), i get back the full 5 bars..
personally..i think the update did screw up the network reception of the iphone...

HT1338 I just uploaded an update to Mountain Lion today mail no longer works

I just uploaded an update to Mountain Lion today mail no longer works.

After I ran theupdate yesterday I got a message that the update did not complete. When I tried to run mail I got a error message that mail could not run. When I rebooted and tried mail again I got the same error. I tried to load the last mail update from the apple store, but could not run it because it was unsigned.

I upgraded to iOS6 and now my e-mail no longer works. What do I do to get it back? It is stuck. I have restarted the iPad multiple times, checked my settings to no avail. I know the accouunt still works as I can access it on my PC. Help!! PLease

The button sounds like it sends a video to vodpod.com but that doesn't match what I see for the extension. The other two extensions came up with a search for vodpod but don't specifically mention vodpod.

10.5.7: Automatic Software Update Feature No Longer Works

Ever since I installed 10.5.7 the automatic Software Update feature no longer works. (Manual updates work fine.) For example, here's what happened today with Safari 4.0.2:
1. After powering up I got the Software Update icon on the Dock.
2. I clicked it and it said I had updates that would require a reboot and it asked the usual stuff. (It didn't say what would update.)
3. I clicked to reboot now and it asked for my password and rebooted.
4. My MacBook rebooted but nothing had been updated.
So, I went to the Apple menu to check for updates and it said I had Safari 4.0.2 ready to be installed. This time, it worked. Unfortunately, I have to do this two-step process on every update that requires a reboot. I could turn off the automatic updates and just do everything manually but I prefer the automatic way. (I had it before, too.)
Thanks in adavance,
Brian

Jeffery,
Thank you for your quick response!

How often do you have SU to check for updates? And do you have "Download important updates automatically" checked as well?{quote}
I have check for updates weekly and download important updates automatically enabled.
{quote}I'm thinking that the first time you approved the update, that it could have been for something that was already downloaded in the background, and just waiting for you to OK the install.
Then when you rebooted, and did the manual check, it found that the Safari update was available as well.{quote}
Interesting. I hadn't thought about that. ☺
{quote}There could be a host of other issues... but check the "installed updates" in the SU preferences, and see what, if anything, was installed right before the last Safari update... note the date and times and see if my theory might be correct.{quote}

HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'. Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6. I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works. Her phone says its on. ???

My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'. Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6. I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works. Her phone says its on but when I try and locate it from either my phone or laptop it shows it offline. Any suggestions. It's my only peace of mind! Thanks!

Does she have her own iCloud account? You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone". So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account. Is that what happened in your case?

After doing a widows update itunes will not work at all

after doing a widows update itunes will not work at all

hiya!
I get the itunes has encounterd a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience error, no specific error number. I do not have QT installed,
not having QT installed is what will be causing your itunes error message at the moment. let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 install.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
love, b

After I unplug headphones, the speakers no longer work until rebooted. Anyone else experience this? Also had the same issue on the Droid Razr Maxx.

Ahh. We can still help find the culprit, TeaParty14. Do you have any 3rd party applications installed to play your music? Are you able to hear any audio if you plug the headphones back into the phone instead of rebooting? Any audio for calls through the phone direct or through speakerphone?

After doing last Mavericks update, Messages is not working properly

Since yesterday, after doing last Mavericks update, Messages is not working properly - the Dock icon is not bouncing nor showing any number for new messages. Very annoying, since I usually have Messages on background while working and I now i don't realize if people is chatting me unless I open the messages wondows.

In Messages > Preferences > General Section change the Sound option for Message Received.
Restart the app and test this sound is (still) playing.
Place app in background an iMessages "yourself" form your iPhone.
Does the sound Play ?

After installing Leopard 10.5.3 Mail no longer works in SSL

After installing Leopard 10.5.3 Mail no longer supports SSL (Port 993) with password authentication. Setting it back to Port 143 seems to be fine. While this is not a problem at home when I am on the road it is a definite problem. Are other users finding similar problems? What are the work arounds (besides changing mail programs)?

No, all certificates are fine.
Three months on 10.5.3? Really? It seems to me that we had 10.5.2 three months ago.
Anyway, it seems that the mail problem may have been a coincidence with the release of 10.5.3 -- mail servers seem to be back up and mail, both SSL and non-SSL seem to be working as if 0730 EDT.
This then becomes more of an Apple problem of letting the community know that mail is down -- and that problems are most likely not related to the update of Leopard. This would be particularly helpful since many of us (very many, I suspect) have the auto update configuration for doing system updates turned on.

N9 after PR 1.2 update - Mail for Exchange is sync...

I have a problem with my N9 Meego after 1.2 update. I have mail for exchange account talking with exchange 2010 server and sync works just just fine with calendar and e-mail. Contacts on otherhand doens`t work. It says its bringing contact like 78 from mail for exchange but when its done you can`t see any.
i have done my account again many times but still contacts aren`t working. Should I do some hardreset but does that uninstall PR 1.2 update?
Help is needed or any ideas what could be done?
-mika

Hey mate, As far as I am aware there is no going back from PR 1.2, so you could try hardreset without concern of loosing this update. Keep in mind you are likely to lose data, so make sure you back it up first.
I am sure of this, as I have tried to go back to PR 1.1 to get my mail exchange to work and even with trying to flash the device "downgrade disallowed" comes up and prevents me getting rid of the PR 1.2
You are luckier than me, I can't get mail, calender or contacts. I am so annoyed that I accepted the update. I am hoping that Nokia take note of this and fix the mail exchange in a new update
