Deleted Mail Application and iCal Application

So I was trying to clean up my workspace and thought that the files I was deleting were merely icons. Turns out they were the real thing. So...How do I get them back? I tried to reinstall the disks that came with my computer, but they didn't come back (just turned Mail and iCal into "?"s on my Dock. I just got my computer a few months ago and this would be really annoying to continue. What do I do?

You have two options.
1) You can start up your Mac from the included restore disks and do an "archive and install." This will reinstall the operating system and restore your settings, documents and applications.
2) You can use an application called Pacifist to extract the iCal and Mail applications from the install DVDs. This takes a bit of technical knowledge, but you can read about the process here:

For future reference, don't delete things in the Applications folder unless you want to uninstall the application. As I'm sure you've learned!

I have deleted mail application, pl help

by mistake I have deleted mail application in my os 10.5.8

Did you check the Applications folder. Perhaps you just deleted it from the dock.

How do I recover a deleted mail account and all associated contacts?

Set it up again. If you didn't delete anything from the mail server, everything should sync right back up.

Deleting Mail application and re-installing

Hi,
I seem to have screwed up my mail application on my new mac mini, can I delete it completely and re-install the application from the install disk?

What gives you that impression? I suspect that most problems with Mail are actually due to issues in the Mail files within a user's home folder, such as "yourhomefolder"/Library/Mail.

That's difficult, but you may be able to do that with the Pacifist utility: http://www.charlessoft.com/

HT1338 Deleted Mail Application

I have an Imac. I deleted my Mail application and have to go to my MacBook pro to get my emails. How can I add the Mail app to my Imac?

Sorry I haven't replied. I have been traveling. Before I left I tried several things. I will be home tomorrow night and will try some of the suggestions.
Mail was not in the applications folder. I had deleted it. I found my applications disk and installed the mail app. When I tried to open it it said that my current version of 10.6.8 could not open the mail folder.
I will try installing it again and try what Wzzz recommended updating the security settings tomorrow to see its that works. Thanks. Nelson.

Deleted Mail Application

Hi,
My mom deleted my entire mail application from my macbook pro v. 10.6.8. How can I get it back? Do I need to use pacifist? Is there any easier way to get the mac mail application back other than using pacifist? It is not in the trash or anywhere on the computer from what I can see.
Thanks

You're right it is MY problem. A problem that I would prefer not having your input or help with. That goes for any further of my questions. I will continue to come to this forum (as I have for years) because there are others who have and continue to provide VALUABLE assistance without feeling the need to disparage others in the process. Whether or not you feel the need to voice your opinions in any of my posts again is up to you, but for the record I am not asking, do not want, nor need your type of "help" anymore. There are plenty of other talented users who are happy to help me without resorting to petty comments as yours above. Any further posts by you is of your own accord and not something that I desire to read or want to interact with.
I'm sure others will find your comments helpful but please don't feel the need to "help" me anymore.
As for Allan's comment. I'm glad you are supporting your friend, but in my opinion his response to my mother's use of my computer was irrelevant to my actual question and was a snide remark from my perspective. It was unecessary to phrase it in such a way.
Cheers.

HT3739 deleted mail application

I think I have inadvertantly deleted my Apple mail application(the stamp icon).
Though I have AOL mail but now my iphoto email selections doesnt work nor can I send a page by clicking on the mail.
I did not have a install disc in my pack (purchased 2010) ,so how do I restore my mail application?

Are you sure you have not deleted the Apple Mail icon on the Dock?
Look into Application folder if it is still there.

Deleted mail rules and they are still being applied

I created a few mail rules to change the colour of certain emails from different senders. I then deleted the rules and the emails are still colour coded differently and I can't seem to reset it.
Anyone run into this before on 10.6.2?

Hi,
Try restarting your Mac. If that doesn't help...
Go to the Mail Menu Bar, click Mail/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab.
Quit Mac Mail.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.mail.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Mail.

Deleted Mail application, How do I reinstall it?

I have accidentally removed the Mail App from my computer, and I want to reinstall it, but I have lost my original OS install disk. Any ideas?

I don't remember if I said this already, but if the Mac came with Leopard, just call Apple and give them the serial no. They may be in the process of changing this policy, but they were always willing to send discs for a modest fee.
If not, Apple doesn't sell them any longer and full retail Leopard DVDs are insanely expensive, at least the last time I looked, which wasn't all that recently. Apple's price, when they were available, was $129, but look around on eBay or Amazon and they are asking much more than that. Warning: you may find less expensive DVDs on eBay, but many of those will be grey, machine specific discs that will only work on the Mac they came with. You want the full retail DVD.

24.5.0 - deleted mail account and have issues with a spurious New Folder

Hi
I have been messing around with my Thunderbird data, so this problem is of my own making I think.
I deleted an email account using my provider setup area. This was an email account I had set up at the start when joining this provider and contained only test messages etc. and so was of no further use.
I had set up this email address in Thunderbird and after deleting the account with my provider I then removed the account in Thunderbird. All seemed to be OK.
Now, to confuse matters. I had previously set up a list of folders under Local Folders for filtered email in Thunderbird - I now moved them up into my main account by click/drag/drop onto the account name. Although this took a very long time (and unexpectedly used an enormous amount of bandwidth), the operation finally seemed to finish (although that was really hard to determine until I finally found the Activity Monitor).
Now, for the point of this posting:
After all of the above, I discovered that a spurious folder had been created under the INBOX of my main account, called 'New%20Folder=0' which I read as New Folder-0. I don't know at what point in the above that this folder appeared, but I *think* I must have dragged/dropped one of my folder moves on the INBOX instead of the account name field.
Now, dear readers, if you have got thus far, the crux of my problem. I can not delete this folder, when I try, I get the message
The current operation on 'New%20folder-0' did not succeed. The mail server for account ******* responded folder does not exist.
I have tried a whole bunch of things, altering settings in its Properties etc but nothing lets me delete it.
Question is: how can I delete it?

I would:
a) check on the email provider's website to check if it had copied there, and deal with it. Your mention of bandwidth implies this is an IMAP-connected account.
b) close Thunderbird, open its [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb?esab=a&s=profiles&r=1&as=s profile] and delete the offending folder there. You need to browse your profile for a while to understand its structure before doing anything rash.
On the whole, I discourage users from dragging folders about as you have done. By all means drag the ''contents'' (better yet, use multi-select, then right-click and "copy to" or "move to") but moving ''folders'' is IMHO an undefined operation with unpredictable outcomes. I've heard of users moving a folder from one account to another and finding that it still associates with (i.e. "belongs to") the original account.

Mail, Addressbook and iCal from MobileMe to iCloud

Morning.
We are using a MobileMe family account. I would like to switch to iCloud. But at least two Macs in our family are G4 PowerPC. So we can not install at these machines Lion.
Can we use the email, calendar and address book services of iCloud? Or should we look for an alternative provider?
Kind regards, vatolin

The best that I have been able to gather (for me) is that I need to update to LION OS (my computer is too old to support it, so I guss I have to wait until I get a new computer)

How do I set up Apple Mail with Yahoo (IMAP) so I can delete mail on my iphone but leave it on the server and iMac.

I am trying to maintain my inbox on my imac while not carrying around all my mail on my iphone. As of now, I only seem to be able to sync the inboxes. If I delete a mail on my iphone, it disappears on both the server and imac. I only seem to be able to make it move the mail to the deleted mail box and keep it there.

That's the way IMAP servers work. The messages really live on the server; the iPhone and the iMac just view them.

Mail crashes and can't delete

Mail crashes after about 30 seconds and also before I can delete any items.

Same is happening with me. I cannot delete mail (without the mail app crashing and the deleted mails reappearing) and the app often crashes by itself when checking for mail.
Mail is coming is but I can't send mail before a crash and the mess is building up (without being able to delete) and pretty frustrating overall.
I tried both the reset and IMAP suggestions (although the offending mail account doesn't seem to be my MobileMe IMAP account). Both of the other accounts are POP and have always worked fine. They are my primary email accounts.
I have an iPhone 3G 16 GB and am on iOS 3.1.3
Any help would sure be appreciated!

I just purchased my I MAC, and set up my aol and gmail to the desktop icon. After deleting some messages tonight, I tried to shut down from the menu and received the message "Shutdown canceled because mail application is still open"--icon not working.

I just purchased this IMac yesterday, and set up my two email accounts to the mail icon today. This evening, after deleting some messages, I was not able to open the mail icon nor shutdown, restart, or log off the computer from the menu. I keep receiving the message "shutdown canceled by mail application". Really frustrating.

Press Alt, Command and Esc keys to open Force Quit. Then, on the window that will show up, choose Mail and close it. Finally, you will be able to turn off your iMac
