Blank Message Window when starting Mail.app

Anyone experiencing this in Snow Leopard? Occasionally when I start up Mail.app there will be nothing in the message viewer, "Inbox" is selected still but no messages show and the top bar says Inbox where it usually says Inbox (No. of messages here).
I have to select another folder and then select "Inbox" again before anything shows. I did a clean install + import of mboxes and I already did a rebuild. Just getting a bit irritating.

same situation here. After installing SL on two other Macs the third one is having problems with the Mail app. It starts and is just showing the menubar; no window not even a blank one. After installing just the Mail app again from the DVD, Mail starts and I can get the main window from the menu (Fenster -> Hauptfenster) but I can only see the Mail folders in the left pane, *no message list*, *no preview content*
Even worse, I can't quit the Mail app using the menu. I have to do a *force quit* within the Finder.
I have searched this forum and tryed all the (good) suggestions without success.
What's next?

  • Mail regularly open the new blank message window

    After Mail initial start the programm opens a new blank message window. When I try to close it I receive the message "Do you want to save it as a draft and work on it later?"
    The new blank message window appears regularly every 4-5 minutes. How can I fix it? And thanks in advance for response and help.

    Do you see the Outbox in Mail? Does it contain any messages?

  • Mail basically dead - blank message window?

    Just did something stupid (I think). I deleted my wife's mail app! Then I tried to reload it by updating Leopard. Now it will open but no message window - when I open it via window/message viewer it brings up a window with a dot in the middle - that's all. Most of the menu items are grayed out and I have to force to quit. What's going on.

    HI,
    *" Then I tried to reload it by updating Leopard."*
    Leopard or Snow Leopard...
    Try reinstalling the Mail application from the SL disk.
    Insert the Snow Leopard install disk. Open the Optional Installs folder, then open Optional Installs.mpkg
    An Installer will start... click Continue. When you get to the Installation Type in the window on the right you will see: Applications. Click the Disclosure triangle so it faces down. Select the Mail app and click Continue.
    When the installation is finished, repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Windows 8.1 Mail App - Cannot Send Mail

    The fact that this problem has been ongoing for TWO+ YEARS with no clearly defined fix makes me want to take my SP3 back to the store and go buy an iPad, even though I hate Apple products. I think I'm voicing the frustrations of the people here when
    I say that I've been searching for over an hour with no possible fix in sight, and an apparently apathetic Microsoft.
    Dear Microsoft,
    Your Mail App STILL has this issue: it randomly decides that it won't send any mail and so every outgoing e-mail sits in the Outbox of the app. This seems to be some kind of password-crossing issue where multiple passwords from multiple accounts get switched.
    However, I've been searching for over an hour and CANNOT find a fix to this problem despite the many unanswered/unresolved forums and questions regarding this 2+ yr old problem.
    By the way, thank you so much for removing the ability to go into Settings > Account within the Mail App and change the password. Now I have no idea how to fix your issue even manually. Please put the setting back so I can fix it, or just release a version
    of the Mail App which WORKS.
    Thanks a bunch,
    Twixte
    In the meantime, has anyone else figured out how to temporarily resolve this annoying issue? Is there a setting I can change or do I just need to completely disconnect my Microsoft account from my SP3 before I can actually send mail again?

    Hello Twixte,
    Do you receive any error message when the Mail App fails to send the email?
    Please refer to the following article about troubleshooting the problems with Windows Store app.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/windows-8/what-troubleshoot-problems-app
    1. Download and run the Apps troubleshooter.
    2. Make sure the app isn’t blocked by Windows Firewall
    3. Try to uninstall and reinstall the Mail app.

  • Tuchpad stops working when starting any app

    Hi,
    My mousepointer stops when starting any app. Works fine after starting anything, at the desktop, but  as soon as I start any program, systemsettings or else it stops to work.

    I'm having pretty much the same problem.  When I try to launch InDesign CS5.5 I receive the error message from Windows:  Adobe InDesign CS5.5 has stopped working.
    I have the Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium Student and Teacher Edition, running on Windows 7 Home Edition Premium 64 bit
    I have tried opening InDesign directly and get the error message, and I've tried opening from a document and get the same message.
    Recently I had to move to a new computer, as my old hard-drive boot died on the old one, so I was not able to uninstall Creative Suite 5.5 from the old computer.  However, the rest of the Suite works fine, just not InDesign.
    I have tried the fix as per Peter Spiers' post above; I renamed the InDesign SavedData file, but there was no InDesign Defaults file.  I searched for adobefnt*.lst files, but there were none.
    I've not successfully used InDesign since loading it on this new computer, so perhaps this makes a difference?

  • Windows 8.1 Mail App doesn't sync Exchange account on desktop but does on laptop

    I was referred to this forum by another Microsoft engineer, and while I do not believe this is where this problem can be resolved, I'm following his instructions.
    I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC and an ASUS X205TA laptop. For several months, the three accounts I have under Mail (two Outlook.com accounts and one Microsoft Exchange work account) synced properly on my desktop. 
    In fact, the Mail app on my desktop worked fine with my Exchange account from the first time I used it under Windows 8 in 2012. The version didn’t seem to matter – whether it was Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, the Mail app
    connected to my Microsoft Exchange account simply by filling in my email address and password.
    Sometime this past summer, however, in the July timeframe, the Mail app stopped synchronizing with my Exchange account. In an effort to repair it, I removed and attempted to reinstall the account. This time, it would not let me load the Exchange account, even
    when including additional information (domain, server, user name, et. al.).
    This past fall, I purchased the ASUS notebook with Windwows 8.1 installed, and I was able to successfully load my Exchange account in Windows Mail using just my email address and password, as well as the two Outlook.com accounts, and all three accounts synchronize
    properly. When I went back to my desktop, however, I noticed that the Liberty email account was listed under my Mail app. Apparently, since my laptop and desktop configurations are registered under the same Microsoft account, when they synchronized, the Liberty
    email account which I successfully loaded on my notebook appeared on my desktop system as well. 
    The Mail app on the desktop, however, still can’t synchronize with my Exchange account so, in effect, I’m back to where I was in July. I would also add that I'm running Microsoft Outlook 2013 on my desktop and laptop and, in both cases, all three of my email
    accounts are installed and working properly.
    I don’t know if this information gives you insight into what the problem might be, but it’s apparent that there’s something in the configuration of my desktop Windows Mail app that is causing the problem. It’s working just fine on my notebook.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Mail app multiple times, run the App Troubleshooter, and tried a Clean Boot installation of the Exchange account. None of these fixed the problem.
    As I told the other Microsoft engineer, if this were an Exchange problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my Exchange account in Outlook 2013 on my desktop and my laptop, nor would I be able to connect to my Exchange account using Windows 8.1 Mail
    on my laptop.
    The problem is specifically with the Windows 8.1 Mail app on my desktop PC, and its sudden inability to sync with my Exchange account after it worked in every iteration of Windows 8 since 2012.
    I have posted this issue in this forum as suggested, but my troubleshooting does not point to an Exchange problem, but rather a Windows 8.1 Mail app problem on my desktop PC.
    Can you help?

    Hello ronontheright,
    Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
    Please take a look at the following article.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
    Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
    Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.

  • Starting mail.app in the faded out-mode???

    I configuered my account to start mail.app faded out, but starting tiger, the main windows appears in the front. All other apps are okay.
    I remember, I had this problem in an earlier version, but an update repaired it. Waiting and waiting for an update, but nothing happens.
    Has anybody an idea, what I can change?
    Thanks
    iMac Intel 2.0   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I mean "in the invisibel mode". The word fade out is wrong i think.
    in the systempreferences for the user I can define, which program should loaded at start up. If I say: start iTunes invisibel, i do not appear, it is running in the background, but I do not see anything of the app.
    Opening mail.app, the main window is visibel, it is not in the front. It is not possible to see the desktop.
    In earlier versions it was possible to let mail.app run but do not see anything of the app.
    Has anybody an idea? Thank you very much.

  • Exchange 2010 Activesync with the Windows 8.1 mail app limited to 10 MB attachments?

    We have a few executives that want to use the mail app on their 8.1 tablets to access our Exchange 2010 SP3 Ru7 servers via Activesync.  They get connected and can sync mail, but when they
    try to download attachments that are larger than 10 MB, they get an error  (Sorry I don't have the exact wording)  the error doesn't say anything about attachment size limit, but it works if the attachment is 9.5 MB and they get the error as soon
    as the attachment is greater than 10 MB.<o:p></o:p>
    I tested the app with the same attachments greater than 10 MB with an Outlook.com account and it works ok on the Windows 8.1 tablet.<o:p></o:p>
    I also tested using an IPad against the Exchange servers and I can download attachments greater than 10 MB just fine.<o:p></o:p>
    So it looks like only the combination of Exchange (2010 in my case) and the Windows 8.1 mail app has the limitation? 
    <o:p></o:p>

    ActiveSync is limited in the same manner that OWA and web services are.  See the following page to see how to increase this limit:

  • TS3682 back up is corrupt message shown when start back up what it means ?

    back up is corrupt message shown when start back up what it means ?

    If I am guessing that app correctly, then install the latest s/w version 1.5.9.
    Was at 1.4.3 previously and faced the same issue as yourself when I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1. Solved it by grabbing the latest sms export s/w.

  • Clicking curved reply arrow in status column produces blank message window

    I have a bunch of messages in an On My Mac mailbox for which clicking on the curved reply arrow in the status column opens a blank message window with the wrong title. Something has obviously gone wrong with the links.
    Is there a way to fix this?

    Let it be recorded here that the solution is to quit Mail, remove the "Envelope Index" file from ~/Library/Mail, relaunch Mail and allow it to import all of your mail. The solutions posted elsewhere about rebuilding the sqlite3 database with the "vacuum" parameter aren't sufficient. I've also discovered that changing the return address associated with a particular mail account will break the links between messages and their replies.

    Try This..
    1. Open the crystal client on your local machine and import that particular report.
    2. Do Database -> Verify Database. Then refresh the report on your PC and make sure that it returns data as expected.
    3. Export it back to repository and try scheduling it again. You can verify through CMC for Crystal Reports under " Database Configuration" property to make sure it points to the right ODBC.
    Let us know.
