Can't reply or send

I am suddenly unable to reply or send mail. When I click on the buttons, nothing happens. When I attempt to type into the forward mail window I cannot. This happened days after my mail on old Powerbook Lombard cannot send or receive mail. The mail programs on both computers is going haywire.
I also use MaxBulk Mailer and now it crashes when I attempt to type the subject line. Can all this craziness be related?
I have run tech tool pro and disk warrior and they don't indicate any problems. Has anyone had a similar situation? Can I reinstall only the mail program from my Tiger DVD?
Thanks for the help,
Cabby

I don't know about MaxBulk Mailer, but that problem with Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services. The notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved.
Resetting Launch Services
The following article also describes the side effects of cache cleaning:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
The following article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner.
In addition to the utilities mentioned above, you may also consider OnyX, which is free. If you want to try OnyX, after installing it, do this (be sure to read the articles about the side effects of cache cleaning first):
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you've already done them using other utilities.
5. Click the Execute button.
If that doesn't solve the problem, you may try again checking the Links between documents and applications option in step 3 instead.
And yet another free cache cleaning utility is Cache Out X.
Please, let me know whether you were able to solve the problem, what worked for you and what didn't.

Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
Good Luck to you.

MAIL: Can't reply or send emails

Yesterday I bought an external hard drive and a scanner that I installed.
I copied a few GB worth of data to the new drive and manually deleted those files from my G4 (733MHZ). Since then my computer has been very slow but the worst problem is that I can't seem to use my MAIL program anymore.
I can't type more than Hi and then I will hear a DING go off as if I was doing something wrong. When I try to hit the REPLY button to reply any email it won't work. Same thing with the SEND BUTTON.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Paulina

David have *janet* the answer to my problem a few entries back.
I installed OnyX and I am back in business. So far anyway.
Thanks,
Paulina

Can't Reply or Send New Messages?

My iphone has been working brilliantly, then out of the blue I am suddenly not able to reply to or send new email messages...any suggestions on how to resolve?

Okay - I got it working!!!!
Here's how: First update your ITunes to the latest version (in my case that was to 9.0.1). Then Update your iPhone software to the latest 3.1.0 (which recently came out in September 2009) ...
That did it.
One side note: I had a weird problem downloading the software to my system... I kept getting a Quick Time.msi not found problem and Itunes not found, though I could go in through programs folder and open it. I eventually found the fix for this too... you have to look for "Install problem - Says feature is on an unavailable network resource ; Posted: Feb 11, 2008 6:18 PM" in Google Search and open the CACHED version. It's an archive Apple support folder... it tells you to download Windows Install Clean Up and then delete QuickTime and/or Itunes from there. (I could not delete from Add/Remove programs would get same error message.) ... Once i did this, I was able to update Itunes & QuickTime and then update my Iphone application. Now everything works, even DRAFTS that I lost showed up once I entered into my mail program on the iPhone!!!
I'm so happy!

Can't Reply or Send Forwards

I am connecting to the server fine using the connection wizard. It was working for weeks but now it will not let me forward e-mail or reply to some e-mails until I save it and exit out and reopen apple mail.
I have deleted the e-mail account but it still holds all the info when I go to recreate it.

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

I cannot get the toggle link to the business email to stay up long enough to click it. The same thing happens when I try to hit the toggle reply "to sender" or "to all" dropdown on the side of the "reply" button. What can I do to fix this?

Clicking on my e-mail link, [email protected], loads the business side link right underneath. I click on my e-mail address, the business side flashes on the screen, but again when I try to click it, the whole thing disappears.
The same thing is happening with the "reply" button drop down menu for "reply to sender" and "reply to all" menu items.

It seems like you already have an old installation of Story.
You will have to remove it first before installing the latest one.
So the steps would be:
- Open 'Applications' folder in finder and move 'Adobe Story' app to Trash. Remove it from Trash too.
- Search 'Adobe Story' in Spotlight to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive. If installed then remove that version too.
- Now download the latest version and install it. ( you can download the installer directly from: https://story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air )

I've lost the "Send" button in my reply window. When I double click on a Mail message, on order to reply, the "Send" button at the top of the window is missing. I can reply by closing and saving my reply, and re-openning from Drafts. How to fix?

Hi, try this...
If nothing is showing in the Toolbar at top, click the little gray oval at top right.
Right click or Control+click on the Toolbar, choose Customize Toolbar, drag the Send button to the Toolbar.

I can open my hotmail email but cannot reply or send new messages. this just started last week. Don't know why not. Is this a Firefox issue or a Microsoft issue? 'Cause it's near impossible to get Microsoft to get back to me. Hope you can help me.

I resolved both my problems. The problems with Walgreens is that my own Frontier internet connection is very slow and will allow only minimal downloads. When I used a Verizon Hot Spot to download pictures they downloaded without any problem. So I am working iwth Frontier to resolve my slow internet speed. The problem with pictures be syncronized to a gallery was resolved by using the Help column and the pictures were easily deleted by following their instructions.

Hello bluechalk,
I'd recommend restarting your iPhone. If you're still unable to proceed, I would recommend resetting the device.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
