Cannot open Mail Window in Yosemite

I just updated to Yosemite. Almost everything is fine - except it is impossible to open a mail window. A brief flash of a narrow indow opens, then promptly dissappears. Mail is running, I get reports of incoming mail, I can open a compose window, but no viewer window.
My system is Mac Book pro, 15 inch, 2Ghz intel core i7, 8Gb, 1333 Mhz DDR3
Any ideas how to fix this - I basically have no mail!

I have a partial solution - but not a full fix....
I went to mail/preferences/viewing and ticked 'classic view'. I now get a classic view window, but whenever I try to change back to standard view the window shrinks and then disappears.
Annoying, but not as totally unusable as the previous situation!

  • Cannot Open Mail Window. Cannot Exit Open Mail Program

    I cannot access any of my mail folders. (Leopard; Mail version 3.4) The Mail program apparently opens but only to a blank screen. I can only exit Mail by using "Force Quit". This happened with no warning and after no obvious event. Can anyone walk me through a solution. Can I reinstall Mail without wiping my hard drive? Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestions.
    Both Safari and Address Book both work properly.
    I used disk utility to repair permissions but that had no effect.
    I downloaded and installed Thunderbird but it could not "see" the Mail program to import my mail folders.
    I then did as you suggested and set up a second mail account -my wife's- on Mail. After rebooting Mail opened normally showing both mail accounts. It works!
    The only explanation for the problem I can think of is that before losing access to Mail I had downloaded and installed Apple's new MobileMe software. I read today that this has been creating email problems for subscribers, although I had not subscribed.
    Apart from curiousity over exactly what caused the problem, my only outstanding question is whether deleting the new mail account might reintroduce the problem. I don't really want access to my wife's email account.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • TS3276 cannot open viewer window in mail?

    Cannot open viewer window in mail 8.1? os10.10.1: screen flashes a banner and disappears.

    Try checking the View menu...I'm not sure of the exact command. Or when you select a message to read, click and drag the bar between the messages and the viewer up and down.

  • Cannot open mail app on Mac Pro

    Cannot open mail on Mac Pro

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Stuck on 'Introducing VIP mailbox' and cannot open Mail.

    Hi,
    I'm using Chrome on my Windows 7 PC and whenever I sign into my iCloud account to read my mail I get stuck on 'Introducing VIP mailbox' and cannot open Mail. I can open the other items such as Contacts, Calender etc but clicking on Mail just brings me back to  'Introducing VIP mailbox'.
    Does anyone else suffer from this issue?
    Cheers,
    Davian

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

    Did you go to your Applications/Utilities folder and actually double click on the updater to run it?

  • Cannot open mail after upgrading to leopard

    I cannot open mail after I upgraded to leopard. I keep getting this message that "mail has unexpectadly quit. I have sent reports to apple. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    5.1.4 will solve the compatibility issue, however, it is no longer available from Apple -you would have to find a copy on Ebay or similar. The current version is FCP 6 -part of Final Cut Studio 2.
    Going back to Tiger will also solve it and will not cost anything, apart from the time spent reinstalling.
    Unless there is some feature in Mac OS X 10.5 that you really need, this would be the easiest way to get FCP running again.

  • Just downloaded Firefox 6.0 and have restarted 4 plus times, but it continues to hang while launching. I cannot open new windows, change any settings, or do anything but Force Quit. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. How do I get past this hang?

    Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

    Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update -- not sure of this one, but can't hurt.

  • [gnome] cannot open any window

    Hello,
    Since this morning I cannot open any window. Not exactly because if I double-click on a folder on my desktop, nautilus shows up but if I double-click on a text-file, nothing happens.
    If I do ALT+F2, a launcher appears but if I try do start any application (gedit, firefox, terminal or even nautilus), I see a notification in the bottom of the screen ("starting gedit...") but it disappear after a few seconds.
    If I try from the application menu, same. Same with the administration tools.
    In the conky (automatic startup), I see that dropbox (also automatic startup) is running but I don't have the icon in the top right corner.
    Only one or two percent of the CPU is used and a few megabits for the RAM
    Yesterday I added two line in my ~/.xinitrc to start mpd but as it didn't work (couldn't start gnome) I removed them this morning and now I have that (but it could have been caused by something else I did yesterday)
    Fortunately I have ubuntu on another partition but I want my archlinux back
    Thank you
    edit : it seems that it was an error from my /etc/hosts file

    First, the process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't currently work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.
    Disable the built-in application firewall, if it's in use. If you're running a third-party firewall such as “LittleSnitch” or “Hands Off,” disable that. Test.
    In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
    Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    Otherwise, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
    If not, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the Finder menu bar. Into the text box that opens, copy the following line of text:
    /var/db/crls
    From the folder that opens, move these two files to the Trash:
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You’ll be prompted for your administrator password when you do this. Then reboot, empty the Trash, and try again.

  • Using the ipad with ios7, cannot open mail links

    I cannot open mail links on the ipad using ios7.  Anyone else having this problem?

    I can confirm that I'm having the same issue on my verizon iphone 4 on ios 7. If I click a link in an e-mail sent to me through the IOS mail app, safari often does not open. I've noticed that some pages will open. For example. A friend sent me a link to a story on imore.com. The link to the story would not open in safari. Dead. However, a separate link in the e-mail to the main site, imore.com DID open in safari when I tapped on it. I've had this issues with links not working for the last 2-3 weeks, and for whatever reason a reboot of the phone (hold down on/off and home, wait for logo, release buttons) has temporarily fixed the issue.
