Can I reinstall Mail.app on Lion 10.7?

After trying to import my mail from Snow Leopard, my Mail.app in Lion 10.7 has become unresponsive – I can't open a Message Viewer Window, nor can I open preferences to make changes to my accounts.
I'd like to reinstall Mail, but can't find a way to do this. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hello,
I had the same problem this morning. After ugrading to 10.7.4 Mail.app could not import the messages, and hence, never started.
The failure message stated "The import failed. An error occurred during the import. Make sure you have available space in your home folder and try again." There was no other option button but "Quit." So I quited, checked, and confirmed there were 414.19 GB available; and I used Finder and System Report for this purpose. Afterwards I tried again. The failure persisted.
Ironically I wan't able to neither read from Webmail, nor access Mail.app. So I confirmed with the Data Center the server's status. Everything was up and running. Still, they restarted the server for the sake of certainty. The problems persisted.
So I did as suggested here. And it worked smoothly.
Since I use IMAP on my settings I went for a fresh configuration with all my mail accounts. And it worked smoothly.
Thanks William for the tip.
Thanks Shaun for marking the reply as the solution.
Regards,

  • Printed Text is Small with Mail.app in Lion

    Has anyone been able to adjust the font size of the PRINT in Mail while using Lion? I swear I feel stupid, but I can't seem to adjust this all.
    I have to print out an email and the text is soooo small. It's like 3pt. Adjusting the message view font in prefs doesn't change a thing, nor does changing the print options like "Scale to Fit", "Rewrap Message to Fit", "Keep the Same Apparent Font Size", etc.
    I have the conversation view selected, but I opened a single email as well, and it ALWAYS prints like 3pt making the text unreadable.
    I finally had to forward the email to gmail and print from gmail. Sad.
    Any ideas on how to adjust the PRINT font size only?

    Yes, I tried this as well.
    If I increase the scale to let's say 400%, it does increase the font size, but makes the text no longer appdear on one page. It will change the flow of the text so that half a sentence on the right is cut off, and the remaining text is on the next page.
    In other words, it doesn't work.
    Just in case this helps, I'm printing to a HP 4240n, but I don't think that would be it.
    Even saving to a PDF in the print dialog causes the same issue.
    Does anyone print emails from Mail.app in Lion? Am I the only one?

  • HT1338 How can I reinstall the app?

    An application didn't install completely and I can't remove that app so I can't reinstall it. How can I reinstall the app?
    A dialog came up saying I have to send the app to the wastebasket before reinstalling it. But when I tried that it gave me an error code 8062. I couldn't find any info on error on 8062 nor could I find anything to correct it. It appears I'm at catch 22. The app is Easy Password Storage.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Howdy alegarfer97,
    In order to reinstall the applications that are installed as part of the system, you'll need to reinstall OS X. While the article linked below is written for OS X Mavericks (10.9), the steps are the same for Lion (10.7) through Yosemite (10.10).

  • Can I remove Mail.app and retain Thunderbird functionality?

    MacBook Pro 15" Retina, 500g drive, 8g ram. VM with Parallels 8/Win7 and Bootcamp with the identical Win 7 installation.
    Nearly two months after receiving my lovely MacBook in October last year, my Mail app quit receiving mail. I could send, but nothing came in. Pop3 accounts on digital cable service.
    I asked about it here and was answered with the recommendation to use Thunderbird. No looking back, it's great. I have used it before on Win XP long ago, but didn't have server based e-mail accounts then so I used it as the prime client on a Toshiba machine. Since then, I have started a website and am allowed ten e-mail accounts so I just go to the server or use Thunderbird. Thunderbird out of convenience, and the server if I am not at home on my network. I won't go into it here. A Charter Communications issue.
    So, here is the question, and the subject asks the same thing. Can I remove Mail.app from my machine and retain functionality in Thunderbird? Additionally, can I remove Mail.app and reinstall it from here if I desire to test it or end up with issues if I do remove it?
    The reason I want to do this is due to clicking on e-mail links and having Mail open and ask me to set it up. I have no desire or need to use it. I have been copy/pasting the link, but I am really tired of it. I want to click and see Thunderbird go to work for me.
    So, another question, how do I get all xxxx@xxxxx,com/net/org links to open Thunderbird instead of Mail if that is a better solution?
    Thanks gang,
    Kelly J.
    BTW, I looked around the boards and found nothing even close to this. I posted to this board because it seems to be the right place for this issue since it is a system app.

    Trying that now. I'll post my address here and try it. Back in a minute.
    Yes sir. That's the ticket. Thanks for the help. I had to create an account to get mail to open fully, but I can delete it.
    Thanks again.

    P.S. It still works after deleting the account. Thunderbird takes the command.
    Thanks.

  • In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
    Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

  • I have recently upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 7 and I have lost 3 app icons.  The apps still appear in settings, so I can't reinstall the app as they're already there.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling via an iTunes sync, but it hasn't helped.

    Can anyone help please?

    Have you checked to see if the Apps have been placed in an App folder?
    Try swiping down from the middle of the screen so the search bar appears. Type the name of the App and if the App appears it is indeed on your phone.
    You could also try restarting your device by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears.

  • Delayed email delivery using mail app in Lion

    I'm having issues with delayed email delivery using the mail app in Lion. Specifically I have an IMAP account (AOL) that is working fine on other macs running snow leopard and on both an iPhone and an iPad. I receive an email that shows up on all other devices but does not get delivered on the Macbook Air. Clicking get new messages does not delivery the email, even if other emails have been delivered in the interim. The only way to get the email to show up is to exit Mail and restart it - and then the email shows up, in the correct date/time order and the correct read status (since I had already read it on another device).
    This has happened twice now with my AOL account in the past 24 hours (I've only had the new Macbook Air since Monday). It might also be happening on my other IMAP email accounts but I have not noticed it yet. It's intermittant as I've received many other emails correctly and ontime.
    Anyone else seeing something similar? I've never seen this with earlier versions of Mac OS X or on devices running iOS.
    This is a Macbook Air running Lion 10.7.1. I have 4 IMAP accounts set up. Mail is set to check for email once a minute and I have my IMAP accounts set to use the IDLE command.

    I have the same problem, some photos are not loaded completely and partly grey. This occurs only in Mail.app but not in the web interface of the email provider. Did you find a solution, Florian? Does somebody else have a suggestion?

  • I have an iPad1 which I have reset and am preparing to give to a kid.  I now find that I can't reinstall many apps as they now seem to require IOS 6 or greater.  This is IOS 5 and can't be upgraded.  Is there a way to find the older versions of the apps?

    One of these links may help:

  • Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP?

    Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP? I think that my iPhone is doing this, but what about the Apple Mail app on my Mac? I don't like the fact that the Mac downloads the e-mail messages and removes them from the server, therefore making them inaccessible from Yahoo's online mail or my iPhone.
    I'd like to get to work just like my Mobile Me e-mail... Any thoughts?

    There is an option in the 'Advanced' section of the account setup to delete the messages from the server after a specified period rather than immediately on download; you could leave them for a week or whatever, then they will still be there when the iPhone accesses them.

  • I changed the country from US to Mexico in my App Store Account. Now I can´t reinstall iLife apps onto my Macbook. Please help

    I changed the country from US to Mexico in my App Store Account. Now I can´t reinstall iLife apps onto my Macbook. When I try to download them, a message says that they are available in my purchased apps, but they don't appear under that menu. Please help

    The issue is that you purchased the apps in the US app store, not in the Mexican App Store.
    If you set your App Store back to US, then you should be able to access your purchases from teh US Store.

  • Can't reinstall os x mountian lion get error code -4403F

    can't reinstall os x mountian lion get error code -4403F on my Mac Book Pro 15"

    This is occuring because your network router or ISP is blocking the connection of the OS X installer to Apple's servers. If you have more than one computer (including an ipad or iphone), then for the purposes of the recovery try disabling your router's firewall and other security measures, or setting your computer's IP address to be the "DMZ Host" if your router supports this feature. This should allow the system to connect to Apple's servers so you can reinstall, and afterwards you can re-enable these security features.
    Otherwise you can try reinstalling when connected to another network, such as a fast public Wi-Fi hotspot.

    Can i run Mail.app on 32bits ?

    The version you run on your iPod cannot run on a Mac. However if you install windows on your Mac either through Bootcamp or one of the virtualization apps like Parallels you can run a version of it in Windows. http://store.gibbonmm.com.au

  • Best option to transfer entourage data to e-mail app on Lion?

    Just transffered data from mac running Snow Leopard to a new mac running Lion when I discovered that Entourage is not supported.  What are my options to get the entourage data into an e-mail app on Lion?

    Entourage 2008 is supported, what makes you think that it is not? unless you are using 2004 in which case you will need to upgrade to 2008.
