Can't create new messages in Mail

When I click on New Message or Reply I don't get a new window or a new draft message. Nothing seems to happen. But if I quit Mail and then re-launch, I get all the new mail windows appearing, and they are all there in my drafts mailbox, and they can be edited and sent as normal.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks.

Are you saying it doesn't happen for all new messages?
Try making a new user account, log on as the new user, set up Mail there and see does the problem exist.

  • Can't receive new messages using "Mail"

    My MacBook Pro's "Mail" stopped receiving new messages!? It appears to be continuously trying to receive messages but nothing comes through. Messages sent to my ".me" account appears on my ipad and ipod but not in my "Mail" Software on my MacBook! All my settings appear to be correct (although i'm no expert). I've tried using "Connection Doctor" and the "Mobile Me" account has a message in the "Details" that says: "Logging into account..." but it never connects! Conversely, the "smtp.me.com..." accounts has a message saying: "Connection and login to server succeeded".
    In addition, I should mention that I can send messages (i.e. they get sent) but the "blue bar" in the "MAIL ACTIVITY" window always stops halfway and never moves again. The message sent also never appears in the "SENT" folder even though i have specified that it should in "Preferences".
    Finally... I cannot quit "Mail" without using "Force Quit".
    What is wrong? How can I fix it?

    Thanks Ernie for attempting to help... the port is set on "993"; the "use SSL" is checked. The "Authentication" is set to "Password". However, I did not know I needed a "password"!? I never used one before when i checked mail!? Anyway, if I need a password to check my mail, how come "mail" does not ask me for one?
    You may want to know that "IMAP Path Prefix" is empty and "Use IDLE command if the server supports it" is checked. I have no idea what theses things mean but that's the way it is. Should anything be changed?

    Updated Mac Air to Mountain Lion and now I can not create new email in Hot Mail

    Greetings,
         What you posted is rather vague. By doesn't work do you mean the applications don't open at all or are you getting a message stating that your product needs activation? If it's product activation then that is something that Microsoft will have to assist you with. If your problem is that the applications simply won't open you may have to uninstall and reinstall Office again. This is common on the Windows platform too. Rarely when you upgrade to a new OS Office sometimes has an issue with the upgrade and won't open correctly. I would suggest merely uninstalling and reinstalling. Nine times out of ten that helps.

  • HT1338 hello! I need help, how come I can't receive new messages on my mail in my Macbook Pro? but I can receive it on my Iphone4s. thanx!

    hi there! can somebody please help me. I can't receive new messages in my MacBook Pro, what should I do? I can read them in my IPhone though. Thanx!

    Yes I was able to send but not receive - I actually was able to solve it myself
    Everything on the menu bar was greyed out - so nothing there helped me @ all
    Connection Doctor didn't show anything wrong
    activity box was completely blank
    shutdown - restart didn't work
    I used the help option    - still nothing
    All the while my phone was vibrating like crazy with new emails
    It was really frustrating & it seemed apple themselves don't have any real solutions to offer
    My instincts told me to delete the email completely - so I did
    After a few min I added the email account like a new one and it eventually worked - all my new emails were there, I still don't know why it stopped in the 1st place  
    Pretty much all the problems I run into I troubleshoot myself and find the solution

  • How do you create new maps in Mail on iPad?

    How do you create new maps in Mail on iPad?
    In the iPad-manual they mention you can put messages in other mailboxes or maps (to free up the Inbox).
    But they don't mention how to create such maps.
    In the app itself I can't find a way to do it.
    thanks for all replies
    Kamiel

    Maybe you are confused by the fact I used the word 'maps' instead of 'folders' (my natural Ianguage is Dutch).
    For your question about the manual: on page 59 in the 'iPad 2 user guide' under 'organizing Email' they say you can move messages to a different mailbox or folder.

  • Creating new folders in Mail on iPhone?

    How can I create new mail folders on the Mail app on the iPhone?

    Mailboxes stored locally on your hard drive are not included with the iTunes sync process. No mailboxes and messages are included with the iTunes sync process. The email accounts option under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences is for transferring email account settings from your computer to your iPhone only so you don't have to manually create the account with the iPhone's mail client.
    With a POP account, the only mailboxes available will be the account's Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash mailboxes. The account's Sent mailbox will not be created until you send a message with the account, and the account's Drafts mailbox will not be created until you save a message as a draft.
    Accessing a POP account with the iPhone's mail client is no different from accessing the account with a different email client on your computer, or with an email client on another computer. All mailboxes stored locally on your computer's hard drive with the existing email client being used to access the account will not be available after creating the account with another email client on your computer, or with an email client on another computer. The same applies to the iPhone's mail client. There are no phones in the smart phone category that provide for accessing mailboxes stored locally on your computer's hard drive with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account, and I'm not aware of any phones in the smart phone category that provide for syncing locally stored mailboxes on your computer.
    Although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. You can't store sent messages on the server with a POP account, so messages sent with one email client used to access the account will not be available with another email client used to access the account and vice-versa.
    An IMAP account is designed to be accessed with more than one email client with all server stored mailboxes for the account available with each email client used to access the account along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server. Send a message with the iPhone's mail client with an IMAP account and the sent message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account and vice-versa.
    You can also create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for accessing an IMAP account to store received and sent messages by category, and the additional server stored mailboxes created with the email client used on your computer for accessing an IMAP account will be available automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's mail client, or with another email client used on a different computer for accessing the account, along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
    This is not possible with a POP account.
    I access an IMAP account with the email client on my Mac, with the iPhone's mail client, and with Windows Mail on a PC running Vista that I use at work for estimating software that doesn't have a Mac version. All server stored mailboxes with the account are available with each email client that I use to access the account, along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server automatically.
    Have you ever used a Windows Mobile device to access your POP account? If so, were all mailboxes stored locally on your computer's hard drive with the email client used on your computer available with the Windows Mobile device? Sure you could probably create locally stored mailboxes or folders on a Windows Mobile device to store received and sent messages by category, but all your existing locally stored mailboxes or folders with the email client used on your computer would not be available with the Windows Mobile device with no way to transfer the mailboxes or folders from your computer to the device. Would you also want to throw a brick through Microsoft's corporate office windows because you aren't able to transfer and access all locally stored mailboxes or folders on your computer with your Windows Mobile Device? Probably not, but if the account can be accessed as an IMAP account, you would have access to all mailboxes and folders with the email client on the Windows Mobile device if all mailboxes and folders are stored on the server.

  • Can't create new users after GroupWise is moved from NetWare to Linux

    Hi,
    I moved GroupWise (Version 6.5 SP 6, single domain and single office)
    from NetWare 6.5 server to SUSE Linux Enterprise server 9. It seems the
    GroupWise server is running oaky. Existing users are able to connect
    their mail box and send and receive messages. But I can't create new
    users on the GroupWise server.
    I used ConsoleOne installed on the Linux server to create new GroupWise
    users. It seemed that I was able to do it. The new users appear on the
    NDS and the GroupWise File IDs were assigned for these users. And I was
    able to add these new users to distribution lists. But the users DB
    files (userXXX.db) were not created under /grpwise/po/ofuser on the Linux
    server and they cannot connect to the server. Old users cannot find them
    in Novell GroupWise Address book.
    Does anyone how to fix the problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    This clearly sounds like your domain (which is the part of groupwise
    which you admin against) doesn't/can't talk to the postoffice, so the
    change you made (to the domain) does never get to the PO (which is where
    the addressbook of your other users come from, and is what is
    responsible for creating the user DB). This seems very likely to be
    caused by your move not being done properly, and old information (either
    path or IP address) for the PO still being in the domain and/or domain
    database.
    So how's the domain linked to the PO?

  • Can't create new / forward / reply email on 6700 s...

    I have google sync set on MFE account. It syncs well with the excising mail, calendar, contacts. But for some odd reason I can't create new mail message.
    "Toimintoa ei voitu suorittaa loppuun" ( veeery vague, "Can't complete action!" I guess) says the modal dialog overlay over the recipient / subject fields. Pushing anything cancels the new message.
    I have been hunting different setting for email, mfe, messages for a while but have not come up with anything that would have helped with the issue?

    This solved it. Don't know why. Shouldn't be like this. When I searched for it, the file appeared. Not only it it appear but my three other attempts appeared as well. All four of them are in Contacts. That's a bit wacked I think.
    Thanks very much.
    Wait it gets better. I went back to the email. Clicked the email address to save it. Selected Add to existing contact. Found the contact. Added it. Click Done, and the name is gone again from the Conatcts directory. Used the search function again, and it reappeared.
    But there's more. Left the phone app. Came back to it and the name is gone again. Apparently every time I want this name I have to add it by searching in Spotlight, and of course it's not updating iCloud so it's never going to get back to my computer.

  • Can't create new sites in Dreamweaver CS3.  Help!

    I am trying to create a new site in Dreamweaver CS3 but keep
    getting the following error:
    "The action cannot be completed because the other program is
    busy.
    Choose 'Switch to' to activate the program and correct the
    problem"
    I have tried every documented solution on the adobe website
    and other discussion forums and still cannot get past the problem.
    I have restarted the IIS server on my local PC as documented
    on the following adobe technote:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16485&sliceId=2
    Other things I have done:
    1. I have followed all the advice in the links at the bottom
    of the above page.
    2. I have created a new user, logged into that and tried
    creating a site with a "virgin" environment
    and I still have the problem.
    3. I have gone into the registry and renamed the site
    configuration info in case something was corrupted.
    This removed all my site configurations. No help!
    4. I have turned of my firewall and restarted the IIS
    server.
    5. I have searched the web for anything even remotely
    similar to this error and tried every tip out there.
    I called Adobe and they referred me back to the technote
    above, which I had already tried.
    One last bit of info. I can't create new sites, but I can
    edit web pages in my existing sites. However, I cannot change the
    configuration of the website in the Manage Sites area (i.e. I can't
    push the Edit button).
    Has anyone had this problem? Any help would be appreciated. I
    have hit a brick wall on this one and am trying to meet a deadline
    on a new website I need to create.
    If I can't find a solution quick, I will be an
    ex-Dreamweaver user. That saddens me because I really like
    Dreamweaver, but I have to perform on my job.

  • Can't create new email account.

    I can't create new emails account because when I go to Setting and click in Mail,Contacts ,calender, it goes back to home, intead of open the options. Any advice? Thanks
    Julio

    Double tab the home button and when the application button shows up hold the settings icon until you see a red dot in the corner and hit that.
    If that dosent work then try restarting the device. Hold the lock button (top right of iPad) until slide to power off appears then hit the same button to get it back on.
    To actually make an email account you have to go to the providers web page, you can't create one in settings

  • I can't get 'new message' in imail....any ideas?

    I can't get 'new message' in imail....any ideas?

    Step 1: Turn on the computer
    Step 2: Do you have an Internet connection? To test this, go to your applications and in the utilities folder double click on Network Utility. Go to the ping section and type in www.Google.com. If you can get there then you have Internet. Make sure your DNS servers are correct for the network you are on. If you are using a static IP try using DHCP and get an IP address and check then.
    Step 3:Are you at home or school? If you are at school, they might have the mail app blocked. I know that at my college, I am unable to get my mail on the Apple Mail app.
    Step 4: Are your connections configured correctly on the mail app. If you are using gmail, the settings will be automatically configured. If you have your own e-mail address you are adding for your work then you will have to consult your IT department and get the correct settings.
    Step 4: Do you have an antivirus software that is blocking any Internet connection for the app. Yes I said antivirus and mac in the same sentence. MAC GETS VIRUSES TOO! Go into the firewall configuration and unblock the mail app.
