Fix mail on OS 10.6

Cannot get my desktop mail set up on my Mac Book Air. It loads mail from Apple but not my server. All other Macs work.
The only difference I can see in setting it up is that it names port 99.

Never mind, the SSL box was chcked and now it's not and evetything works.

Why did Safe Mode fix Mail?

As somebody that likes to try and be as dependent on others as little as possible, and also someone who wants to understand how things work...I have a question.
When OSX updated to 10.10.3, my Apple Mail stopped working. Mac support had me start the computer in Safe Mode and open Mail. It opened fine in safe mode (I could no longer talk with the guy by this point, since we were using web chat). What surprised me was I didn't alter anything. I just opened the app, closed it, rebooted into normal mode, and now Mail works fine again.
What exactly happened by booting into Safe Mode? Why did that fix it when I changed nothing?

Hard to say. If you look at Safe Mode and read about what it does, then you may have clues. Certain user-installed items don't run in safe mode and caches are replaced in safe mode. Today I came across this article: Fix Mail crashing after upgrading to Yosemite | MacIssues.
But the important thing is to see if Mail continues to work when you reboot normally since you cannot go on operating in safe mode forever. If Mail continues to work, then I would bet on a cache related issue.

Another solution to fix MAIL

Finally, I somehow managed to fix Mail app from hanging, eating CPU, crashing and doing all nasty things well known in this forum.
I would not say that is exactly the cure, but here is what I've done:
1) Put ISP DNS in the Airport station
2) Cleaned up entire Mac partition
3) Installed Tiger, clean
4) Downloaded all updates
5) Set up all accouts (all IMAP, Gmail and .Mac)
6) Downloaded all my e-mails
7) Upgraded to 10.5
8) Had to download even more mails
But mail no longer crashes

Quick note, you'll also need VLC player to properly get the video off the DVDs you own with handbreak.

How do I fix Mail in Snow Leopard where I cannot send emails from my account to another account I've set up in Mail, but the reverse works fine?

I have a problem with Mail in Snow Leopard in that I cannot set up two email accounts for myself and my wife with the same ISP and have them operate properly. I've set up the accounts in strict accordance with my ISP's instructions for setting up email accounts on Mac Mail but I cannot send an email from my account to my wife's without a drop-down message appearing that Mail 'cannot send the email from this server. Please edit the server list'. No amount of tweaking appears to work. Applecare consultants have so far been unable to get it to work and a recent visit to the local Genius Bar in the Apple Store was fruitless also. My ISP's help line was unable to solve the problem even with a supervisor level consultant. The ISP concluded it was some kind of 'bug' in Mail.
I could send emails from my wife's account to mine, but not vice versa; I could send emails to other addresees without any problem and I can send emails from my account to my wife's using the ISP's webmail.
Does anyone please have a solution to my problem? At the moment we're operating one account (mine) on my Macbook and my wife's is set up on her iPad2. As we prefer to use the Macbook for storage and (using Time Machine) for back-up of our data, the two accounts on separate machines is a nuisance.
Another factor is that I prefer to control when I download emails and set my preferences accordingly. One of the so-called 'fixes' that were tried wound up downloading emails regardless of settings, even after removing my wife's account; the matter was remedied only after I had removed all accounts form Mail and started afresh from scratch.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?). As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing. Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail. I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem. You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox. Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course. The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself. I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions. This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line. You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
Many thanks for your perseverance. You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

How do i fix mail in mountain lion

I upgraded to mountain lion and am having problems with Mail. The mail boxes appear but one of the accounts is offline. When I try to put it online i get the 'spining wheel of death'. I force quit, and open system preferences and find that another one of the accounts is offline. I try to modify and again get 'the wheel'.
When mountain lion first uploaded it opened mail twice, one was the older style, and the other window was in the latest style.
So far i have tried re installing via internet the mountain lion os, tried putting the mail folder from ~library onto the desktop, restart and open up mail. This fixes everything ( mail preferences no longer hang, system preferences can be altered, etc ) BUT i need to try to get the old mail settings to work as i have forgotten the passwords to 4 gmail accounts and it's a real hassle to recover them.
Any ideas as to what might work?

Only by reinstallin Mountain Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

What can I do to fix Mail software, which does not allow me to move messages around, save "drafts", receive or send messages?

My "Mail" software looks to have become corrupted, as I can't move messages around, save "drafts", receive or send messages. The problem occurred after my Mac crashed and was re-started. Any ideas on what can I do to fix this? Any good suggestions appreciated!

The Mail program is probably not what is corrupted. That would be extremely difficult because it is not written back to disk. The problem is likely in your user data.
You could check that by logging into a different account (make one if you don't) and set up Mail in that account. If it works fine in that account then you have a problem in your user data.
To reinstall Mail, you'll have to get out your Snow Leopard install DVD and check if it is part of the Optional Installs. If it is not, you could use a program called Pacifist to extract the Mail installer. You'd then have to install the 10.6.7 combo Update to bring Mail up to current version.
What are the permissions on your Mail folder? Post output of this command you run in Terminal (just copy and paste):
ls -ale ~/Library/Mail
ls is List. -a tells it to show hidden files/folder. l tells it to make a list with details. e tells it to list Access Control List entries.

HT6065 How do I fix mail it self attaches my saved documents to new emails.

Why does mail do this... i have a new message from lets say Pottery Barn but when I open the email it is actually a saved document for my files from like 2008 or 2008. How do I fix this? This is only on my iMac as far as I know. If I open the same email on my iPhone 5S it is the correct email.

How to fix mail apps crash on mac OS X Yosemite ?

FIXED! How I fixed Mail not remembering passwords, keychains, certificates

As noted in this lengthy thread, hundreds of users who upgraded to Leopard were experiencing their email accounts not remembering their passwords in Mail. Since the upgrade to Leo, I was seeing this, too. Every hour or so, I'd need to reenter all the passwords to all 8 emails that I had. I also was seeing odd keychain behavior with Safari. I'd need to re-enter passwords and certificates over and over again.
From reading the above thread, a couple posters had come up with a fix. I modified it slightly, and for the past 3 days, everything has worked perfectly. Note that I'm no geek, don't really get why it worked, and basically attacked this like a man with a shotgun shooting a mouse. So what I did may break your system or cause you to die from cancer. But here's the steps I did that eliminated the problem
1. I quit Mail & Safari.
2. I opened up Keychain Access (in Utilities) and deleted everything I possibly could. I initially tried to just delete Mail and Safari-related stuff, but that didn't work, so I deleted everything the system allowed me to delete.
3. I ran Keychain First Aid (Menu: Keychain Access). I re-ran it about 4 times until it couldn't repair anything further (there was a dozen things it said it couldn't change, but there you go).
4. I then hooked up a second Mac, via Firewire, that had recently had a clean install of Leopard on it. I dragged the Mail app file over into the applications folder had it replace the existing Mail app.
5. I did the same with Safari, replacing the existing Safari app file.
(NOTE: I hear you can do essentially the same thing for steps 4 and 5, using your original Leopard install discs and a program called Pacifist, but that was more techie than I felt comfortable with. But I hear it does the same thing as copying over clean virgin copies of Mail and Safari, as I did in steps 4 and 5)
6. I then repaired permissions (via the Disk Utility in Utilities). I think this step is a little like smudging with sage, or chanting, but in fact both the new Safari and the Mail app needed thousands of repairs, so perhaps this wasn't as voodoo as suspected.
7. I then restarted the Mac. Upon opening up Mail, I did, of course, need to re-enter all of the passwords again. But that was it. That was 3 days ago, and I've been groovy ever since. I've restarted the apps, and restarted the Mac numerous times. So far, all passwords and keychains and certificates have remained solid.
So there you go. How I Fixed a Hair-Pulling Glitch in my Otherwise Nice Leopard System.

Did you copy both key3.db and signons.sqlite to the profile folder?
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox. 
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder. 
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action. 
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost. 
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.

Does anyone know to fix mail after Lion ? apart from Thunderbird.

I Can send OK but not receive.I use diffrent accounts for pop & smtp .these settings worked pre Lion and still work on my phone. Lion so far is underwhelming it also cost $50 of Telstra Data to add insult to injury.It might be better but I dont know because all I have done is try to fix my mail.

Found the answer. Just had to update Remote app on iPad/ iPhone. Pretty obvious actually.....

HT6030 When are Apple going to fix mail exchange? we are losing profits as we wait for apple. A simple upgrade turned to ****.

When is someone going to fix the mail exchange, or at least tell us when it going to fix. Its a pain in the bump

Start by telling us what the problem is, and what version of OSX is no your Mac.

Rebooting to fix Mail

About once a week, Mail stops making the alert sound when new mail arrives. Restarting Mail or logging out and back in doesn't help. I have to reboot the Powerbook to get Mail sounds working again.
Yesterday, clicking the little arrow by replied to messages no longer did anything. This wasn't the all-too-frequent 'you must have deleted the mail' error that Mail gives, this was nothing at all happening. Clicking the arrow had no result. Restarting Mailor logging out didn't fix it. So I rebooted and it's fixed.
I rarely reboot, except when Apple releases a security update. Any ideas why Mail has issues that only a reboot cures?

Ernie,
I've got 2 IMAP and 1 POP account set up. It may be the IMAP delay that is some of the issue, the POP account isn't that active.
David, that was my thought (temp file). If I knew of a file to delete that'd certainly be more handly than rebooting. The linking of replies is a bigger issue than the sound for me as I live in a world of email!
Funny thing is one IMAP account gives errors almost everytime about not being able to find a reply, even if I just replied. For the other IMAP account, the main one fortunately, I can move the originals and replies around to different folders at will and Mail will always find them. But, boy, when that feature stopped totally, I was scared!

How do I fix Mail's [apparently lost] "create iCal event" feature?

When the data detector feature in Mail detects a date (and/or time) the contextual menu offers to create (or edit and create) an event in iCal. This used to work.
Recently (not sure how long, perhaps last week or two, maybe longer) I have found that (in Mail) I can bring up the same contextual menu, showing the event to be created, and the other events already on that day (oddly, however, each existing event appears in duplicate: peculiar new behaviour). I can edit the presented new event, then click Create event, the contextual menu window whooshes away, and when I go to iCal the event is not there.
If I now try again, Mail shows my recent attempted creation as if it had occurred (ie same appearance as the events that are in fact already in iCal), but again nothing happens.

Try this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16569500

Apple. Please fix Mail for us, your Exchange users. Please.

Don't blame anybody else. Just fix it. Ridiculous that a problem this massive made it into production.

I'd call it fact not opinion. What issue?

I made no comment about that.
It's so much more satisfying to post random vague complaints about nothing in particular. I must assume that either you take it personally as the QA engineer that stamped the code OK, or you are the Internet police.

Recovering Mail Messages after Fixing Mail from the 10.5.6 upgrade.

I installed the 10.5.6 upgrade and while using mail found I couldn't sent a new message. I rebooted on the hopes it would clear up the problem but instead Mail started up as if I was a new user. I did not reinstall the info for the 5 email addresses I use for fear I'd overwrite the existing email boxes for the 5 addresses.
I ran the upgrade combo (used the straight update the first time I went from 10.5.6) and then created a new users just for testing Mail. I ran Mail and entered the account info requested for one of my email addresses. It worked fine. Now for the question - how do I now log in as "myself" and access the mail boxes that exist on my hard drive?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If your accounts are POP and you didn't delete the messages, then I suspect they are still there, but Mail doesn't know it. So try this:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file(s).
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages. When it's finished, Mail should function normally and all your email should be back where it belongs with any luck.
Scully and I have to be at another Bureau training session, so we will be offline the rest of the evening.
