Can't reply or create new e-mail at all. Can if I go to photos & forward 1

Very odd behavior that started when I upgraded to the new iOS 4.
When I'm in the mail app and I touch the "create new mail" icon, it lights up but nothing happens. No new, blank e-mail message appears. Also, when I am reading an e-mail, if I hit the "reply" icon, I get the options for reply, reply-all & forward, but after pressing them, nothing happens. I just return to the message.
If I go to my photo library and forward an image that way, a new e-mail does pop up and I can send that way.
I have 3 different accounts on the iPhone and have for years. MobileMe, Hotmail and an Exchange account. They can all recieve mail and I can manipulate it (move it to folders, delete it, etc), but I don't get the pleasure of responding.
Obviously this is a huge issue. I had to replace my iPhone for a hardware reason last night. I had the Genius look at that issue too. He had no idea what was going on. He told me to try restoring my backup to the new phone and if I had the same problem, come back.
It's not that easy to get an appointment and head over to an Apple location, so I'm hoping someone on this forum has a solution.
Thanks!

To clarify, this has happened on two consecutive phones?
If yes, it would seem to point to dome bad data in the backup. I know this sounds less than fun, but if it is the case, could you try restoring the phone as a new phone and then add the email accounts to see if you can email then? If it still doesn't work, you can always restore your old backup. If it does work, you won't want to use that particular backup. That would mean tackling the pain in the tukus task of repopulating your iPhone from scratch. But it would all work.

  • Mail crashes whenever I try to reply or create new mail

    For the past 24 hours, whenever I try to reply to an e-mail, or create a new one, mail suddenly crashed. It is very reliable in this way; there are no exceptions. The the newest update/change to my configuration was the update of the 10.4.4 system stuff from Apple, followed a few days later by an update for the 15 in G4 Powerbook battery management.
    Also, though not related to mail, the Software Update function does not work - "Can't connect to Update Server", and Safari will not load any pages - "CAn't connect to server...". However, Network Diagnostics says that I am connected to the internet, as does Firefox - it loads pages just fine! All other computers in our home network, including my G5 Tower, are performing and access the internet just fine.

    OK. Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    Do you have any Mail plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/StartupItems/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Creating new e-mail sub account

    Hi.
    Can you pop back and edit the initial post in this thread to remove the email address ?
    I've just created one, and the info says :-
    "Congratulations, your sub-account ..."
    which is slightly different wording to yours.
    The "more info" item also shows as blank on my Firefox screen, though the source is pretty much all javascript, so could well be browser specific, or just bad coding.
    However my sub account was fine (actually created 2).
    Have you tried emailing the sub account to see if you get any bounce message ? It could be that the login problem is due to the issue that some people have to login to their accounts. It may start working after a few more days.
    Have you tried more than once to add the same email address, and getting the "congratulations" message each time ?

  • Cannot create new e-mail in icloud

    Not the most savvy Mac user but I want to create an icloud e-mail account and I cannot create a new e-mail no matter what I enter    help!

    Not sure what you mean by create a new email? iCloud.com is the email address associated with the iCloud account that is set up under your Apple ID. An iCloud account/email cannot be set up independently of your Apple ID.

  • New e-mail server, all my old e-mails disappeared, How do I get them back?

    I changed my e-mail provider from Comcast to Verizon and when I updated the accounts in Mail --- all my inbox messages to the Comcast account disappeared. Is it possible to get them back or at least see them?

    What type of accounts are these (POP, IMAP)?
    Mail stores all mail in ~/Library/Mail/. For each account, there is a folder whose name starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username, and the incoming mail server. This is where all account-specific mailboxes are stored.
    You should have created a new account in Mail, rather than changing the settings of the old one. I've seen people reporting that doing what you did caused the old account folder to be wiped out (and all the mail stored within it to be lost) without warning. This would be a serious bug, but I've been unable to reproduce it. It could very well be that the old account folder is still there, yet inaccessible.
    Take a look at the contents of the ~/Library/Mail/ folder. Do you see account folders for both the old and the new account there?

  • Opened email, message asking for me to create new address from mozilla all emails lost

    Just opened email page. Message displayed from Mozilla requesting I create new email. Could not find a way to leave page as message kept being displayed. Contacted server who said it appears email account has been closed and all messages deleted. Server set up Mozilla email account again for me by remote. Why would Mozilla cancel my account and ask me to create another one and why delete existing emails etc.

    It is possible that Thunderbird started and could not locate your mail account or profile. If it thought there was no mail accounts then it would ask to create one.
    It is possible that you still have the mail account, so when the tech person recreated the account, did they check to see if the account was recoverable or not?
    They would have needed to make hidden folders visible and then check in the Thunderbird profile folder to confirm whether there was more than one profile or whether the mail account was still in the Profile Mail folder.
    You do not say whether this was Pop or IMAP mail account.

  • Created new folder, Mail deletes my messages

    I use an IMAP server (based around Groupwise). I use Apple Mail to service it, usually without problems. However, tonight (UK):
    1. I created a new folder (in fact in another folder) in Mail on my IMAP server.
    2. I moved some mail messages there.
    3. Hey presto, the messages have disappeared from Mail and the server!
    I then dimly remembered that I'd seen this before. I quite Mail (this seems to be an essential step for getting functioning IMAP folders) and reopened it. The messages were still not there. I could however now successfully copy new messages into the new folder.
    I have searched for the messages with Spotlight, synchronised, rebuilt the mailbox, generated a new envelope, looked in trash, but the messages have gone into limbo.
    I have, more ominously, even used Groupwise Webmail and can find no account of them there.
    Is there anywhere these messages could be, and anything else I could do to get them back?

    If the messages are not on the server and you don’t have a backup, but they were cached locally (which depends on your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages setting), you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

  • Migration Assistant created new account to deposit all my stuff, but I can't access that account, even after changing the password via the main acct'

    I am at my wits end.  The migration assistant created a new profile (I didnt konw that it would do this) and now I can't get into that profile with all the stuff from my old PC. 
    I have tried changing password via the main account, but to no avail.  I have researched issues with Keychain, but all it tells me to do is change the login password - that doesnt work either - I cant get to all my files.

    Migraine Assistant it's called.
    Delete the account from the main one, create a new account and transfer files manually via a regular FAT external drive you pickup at any office or computer store, Mac's can read it.

  • Attempt to use attachment uploader has frozen ability to create new e-mail as "TO" command respond and resetting Firefox to default does not solve the problem

    Previously, selecting "attach" worked fine. How do I undo the so-called better way to make attachments??

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • When I open iPhoto its asks me what photo library I want to use.  I already have a photo library that i've been using for 2 years, where did it go? and why am I being asked now to choose a library or "create new" what happened to all my photos?

    When I open iPhoto it asks me to choose a photo library.  I already have a libary with photos and events in it that I've been using for 2 years.  Where did it go?  What happened to all my photos

    We have no way of knowing what goes on on your machine. All we can tell is that your iPhoto library is missing and iPhoto can't find it. If you can't find then I the only thing you can do is restore from your Back Up.

  • Cannot Create New/Repy To/Forward e-Mail Messages

    I have an iPhone 3G with the latest version of OS 4.x and about a week or so ago, the mail app stopped having the functionality to create new e-mails when I tap on the envelop in the bottom right of the screen; the icon highlights for a second but no new email screen opens up. I also cannot use the arrows to reply to or forward an already open e-mail. If I am in the Contacts app and select the button to send an e-mail, it opens the mail app, but only to the inbox not a new e-mail screen.
    I have two e-mail accounts on this phone -- one is for gmail and one is a work e-mail account set up through Exchange; I am receiving e-mail and my work contacts and calendar just fine, but I am increasingly frustrated that I cannot send e-mail since that is 45% of what I use the phone for.
    Please help!

    Hi,
    I'm afraid we can't create a transport rule to filter user based on the user's OU.
    To work around this issue, you can use the following command to get the organizational unit first, then you find the right e-mail address which you want to forward to. After that, you can create a transport rule to forward these messages from X sender to
    this specific email address.
    Get-Mailbox -Identity mailbox | fl Name, OrganizationalUnit

  • Programatically create new mail item and open - body text lost on subsequent saves

    Hi,
    I have a problem with trying to create new GroupWise mail item from a
    button in a C3PO. I require programmatic access to this via the Object
    API, so it must be a saved draft. This is relativley straight forward to
    do - just create a mail item using the object API, and then use the Token
    API to open this item.
    This worked fine in 6.5.0, however in 6.5.1 and 6.5.2 I have noticed that
    when the user does a subsequent save, the body text of the message
    dissappears in the GUI (it is updated correctly in the draft however) -
    and all subsequent saves cause the body text to dissappear. If you close
    the mail item and open the draft manually you can continue as normal.
    As a test, I also tried to use the Token API to create a new mail item,
    and then again to save the item in the work in progress folder. This
    seems to work fine the very first time you do this, but each subsequent
    time the same behaviour is seen - i.e. the body text of the email is
    deleted from the GUI. Also, another observation here, event though the
    mail item was saved in the WIP folder via the token API command
    ItemSaveMessageDraft, it moves into the users MailBox when the user saves
    it manually.
    I have posted the two snippets of code from my test C3PO project at then
    end.
    This is a major problem, as we need to be able to reliably create new mail
    items from a toolbar button, so any help very much appreciated.
