HELP FOR SOME MAIL app PROBLEMS IN MAVERICKS!

As many of you, I was having great difficulty opening Apple's Mail app in Mavericks. The type of problem I was having is this:
When trying to open Mail for the first time in Mavericks, I would get the message that the database needed to be upgraded; the process would start, but Mail would become unresponsive. The progress bar stopped in the middle and only a forced quit could close the application.
I noticed the following:
The actual files and folders in User/Library/Mail/V2, remained unchanged from the time before my attempt to open Mail, and for me no other changes were made.
I took the opportunity to move a copy of the V2 Folder to my Desktop for safekeeping. Trying to open Mail without this folder just caused the app to ask me to designate my accounts anew, which I had no intention of doing.
I then tried adding back items into the empty V2 folder.  Adding back all of the mail accounts and mailboxes except for the Mail Data folder had no effect, except that a new Mail Data folder was created, and the Mail app still asked me to designate my accounts anew.
I then added back the first half of my old Mail Data folder contents and allowed the copy process to overwrite the files in the newMail Data folder; there was still a problem.
Finally, I took the remaining files and one folder from my old Mail Data folder and added that to the new Mail Data folder. When I was asked to relpace matching folders and files I did that and whatever was left untouched by the file copy, I let stay there.
The Yellow taged files were the first half I transferred back.
As long as you have a protected copy of your Mail folder, you can try variations of the above. This is what worked for me, and I hope it is helpful to some or all of you.

Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.
Hope this help someone with the same problem.

  • How to find help for Apple Mail password problem -- using CLEAR/Verizon

    I've established an alias e-mail address through Apple Mail.  I've lost the password.  Apple "Help" tells me to ask internet provider.  But I only have a cell phone so Verizon doesn't allow me to ask my question.  I use CLEAR to connect through Verizon.
    This is confusing.  I don't know where to go with this issue.

    What is the domain for the email address? You need to get help from the email provider.

  • HT6065 When do we get a proper fix for the Mail App?

    When do we get a proper fix for the Mail app on my iMac? The last one made things worse. Or ta least, how can I roll back the OS to Mountain Lion?

    Thanks for the reply Varjak,
    Mail has stopped refreshing as it should. When I click the get new mail envelope, there used to be a sound after around five seconds if there were no new notifications. When I try that now the program just hangs. When I look at 'Force Quit', which incidentally I have to open another app or Finder window in order to access because Mail freezes totally, including the Apple menu, it says that Mail isn't responding. The Mac won't shut down sometimes because Mail won't quit. If I manage to open a mail and then go to another inbox, the whole thing is liable to hang. Using Apple help just before Christmas I cleared out the old cache that M.Lion left behind and now there isn't a cache for Mail.
    We are on Tiscali Broadband through a multi-port router and usually getting around 11Mb download speeds. My mail addresses are either tiscali.co.uk or gmail. It will not successfully send group mails either, despite the upgrade before Christmas. I never had a problem with M.L. and Mail. From looking at the Forums it seems I am not alone here. I also have a windows pc and an iPhone and they both access my mail addresses without any problem.
    Cheers,

  • Mail app problem

    My wife and I have seperate user accounts on the macbook. When I ran the mail app in her account it asked for some set up info, which we entered based on what was being used in her imac. Didn't do much with it for a day or two and then when I came back to it I was unable to connect to the defined POP server (Connection Doctor window showed POP login failing). After fiddling around a bit with no success I decided to delete the mail account info (via the - button from mail->preferences->acounts) and create a new one. The account info appeared to be deleted then but we got a multicolored spinning wheel that woudl not go away and ultimately had to force quit the mail app. Now when the mail app is launched all we get is the spinning wheel and all we can do is force quit the mail app. I tried to find out how to run the mail setup assistant again but could not find any info on how to run it or where to find it. All I found was info that said it would run the first time mail app was run.
    Dose anyone have any pointers or know what I should do to resolve this mail app problem?
    Thanks
    Craig

    There are several threads on this in the forums. Search for "Mail spinning beach ball."
    Essentially, there is something wrong with the Mail folder in ~/Library/Mail/. Move the Mail folder to the desktop and restart Mail. It will create a new Mail folder. You can then import anything that was in the old mailboxes.

  • HT5361 Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?

    Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?
    A great many of the traditional OSX installtion history items are no longer available in 10.8  One can no longer consult the installation history of the "Software Update" preference pane, because that functionality has moved to the Mac App Store utility.  The Systems Information Utility does indeed show *some* installation history, but it does NOT include the Mail.app, for some reason.  Fianlly, I can't find a web posting where apple at least provides the list of all recent software updates for mail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    UPDATE:
    I have partially answered my own question. I found that if go to the History window for the selected file, then double-click the "version" (indicated by the label, which is actually displayed in the "comment" field), it opens the file in html. But, there is a "save as" button in this preview window. If I save the file to a temporary location and optionally, give it a different file name (e.g., to indicate the rev #), I can then go to Windows Explorer, double-click the file, which then launches in a browser window and displays the formatted web file. So this will definately suit my purposes from a audit perspective.
    However, I still would like to understand how the tags, branches, and pinning works because that might be a better way?

    Did you go to system prefs/language and text/language and use the Edit button to uncheck the box for Arabic and then restart?
    Can you use the camera icon here to post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

    Fixes for some transform effects problems.
    - We were not animating the postLayout properties in some cases where we should have, effectively pinning the object in place. We now animate those properties whenever applyChangesPostLayout is true.
    - A copy/paste error meant that we did not animate the scaleZ property in cases where we should have.
    - A problem in the transform code means that using a null transform center is not the same as a transform center which uses the transformX/Y/Z properties of the target object. We now force the creation/use of a transform center in all cases to avoid that problem.
    QE notes: This breaks about a dozen tests in the transform effects area, but I believe the new results are correct and the tests/bitmaps should be changed.

  • STRANGE mail.app problems - Help!

    A client's mail is severely screwed. here's a (brief) summary:
    OS 10.3.9
    Client had mail hang & spin while having 3 replies open. Stuck in a loop, tried numerous Disk Warrior, repairs, permissions, etc etc etc... Client's Mail folder in ~/Library/Mail is huge, over 9GB (many mailboxes).
    *Oddest thing: THAT mail folder cannot be copied over to external FW Hard drives (tried 2) hangs after 806mb. Got a strange error about "Incoming mail cannot be read or written" - words to that effect. I've never seen such a thing. I can't even backup that mail folder to simply wipe the drive to update to Tiger.
    ANY help appreciated!!

  • I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, problem comes back.

    I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, the problem comes back.
    Camera works, with the side buttons it takes pictures.
    Although I'm not able to see on the screen.
    Mike

    First try a restore from backup
    If problem still occurs try a restore to factory defaults/new Pod.
    If still occurs likely a hardware problem and an appoitment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Hi, i am using ipad for some dental apps from itunes like Biohorizons but my Biohorizons app doesnt open up on my ipad recently, soon after i click the app it opens n shuts down by itself, the only reason i am using ipad is patient education.  help n

    HI, please help me use itune App on my ipad, Biohorizins doesnt run on my ipad. Please help

    If the iPad is an older model or one of smaller capacity, try fully unloading it before running the app as a test.
    Double-tap Home so the list of loaded apps shows up, then terminate all by swiping upwards on each. This does NOT erase anything. Tap Home to finish when the only item left is the home screen. Then do a force-restart by holding down Home and Sleep simultaneously until the screen goes dark and the white Apple logo appears, then wait till it finishes starting up.

  • Mac Book Pro Mail App problem

    I have a 3 month old MacBook Pro that has developed in the last 3 days a strange problem within Mac Mail app.  When I send or reply to a email message it shows up in the email thread or sent messages folder as a COMPLETELY different email to an entirely different address.  The incorrect messages/addressees that appear are from emails sent several years ago.  It appears that my emails are being received normally to the recipients (what I actually sent is received,  instead of what is appearing to me as what I sent), but as the thread continues or new messages are exchanged the thread is meaningless and garbled. 
    Running Mountain Lion
    I've tested sending email through both my Comcast server and iCloud.  Same problem either way.  Virus, malware........??  THanks for any suggestions

    Hi kezart,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  Try rebuilding the mailboxes and see if that helps:

  • Built-in mail app problems...

    I have an iPhone 3G. And I'm having problems with my mail. The built-in mail app kept deleting all of my e-mails all at once without even giving me any notices or stuff like that, and it does so every few days?! I've only used up 4.3 GB and there's still 20-ish GB left so I don't think that's the problem. Please help as soon as possible as I sometimes need to show my clients some of my documents but often times its not there anymore... Thank you!

    Unfortunately, it's not a connection problem with the gmail server as other third party's apps succeed to send mails via gmail very quickly. Note also that I've also tried to delete that account and then re-create it but this didn't solve the problem.
    Sincerely!
    Atar.

  • Mail.app problems with Exchange Server

    Hi,
    I've got a Mail.app 4.2 version and a company Exchange 2007 e-mail address account.
    Recently, I've changed from Entourage for Mail.app since, we couldn't configure the new account to Entourage anymore. This is because we've changed Exchange Service Provider.
    I've changed to Mail.app without problems a few months ago. But, recently, since 3 weeks ago, I receive my e-mails just fine, iCal and Address Book keep all sync. Everything is fine except when I delete an e-mail from my Exchange Account or even drag them to another folder, it doesn't work. It remains always at the Inbox Exchange Account.
    I guess it started to do this after a software upgrade from Apple.
    Anyone has a solution for this? I tried to rebuild the Mailbox and Delete and Create the account again, but doesn't work.
    Thanks in advance.
