HELP-I'm stuck out of mail!!
Something got corrupted in my "sent" folder.
Everytime I fire up the mail.app it opens on the sent folder and the HD spins for a while, and then the app crashes and I am offered to send feedback to Apple.
And since it crashes on the sent folder, when I open it again it goes right back to it.
I've read many of the threads here about mail problems, but nothing seems to compare to this. Lots of crashes in 10.4,
(my mail all is 1.3.11)...
I've tried just in case to trash the mail plist file. Indeed I can open the mail program, but as soon as I go to my sent folder, I'm back to the same problem.
What can I do to the 'sent' file (assume it's in the Sent Messages.mbox folder) to prevent the problem?? Looking into this folder, I see that the last 'update' of record is from 3/25, which is also what mail.app shows me...
I really need this file!!
A minor improvement is that I moved the SentMessages.mbox file out of the Mail folder and now mail works fine. Still I need my sent files!!!
Any help in figuring out what to do will be greatly appreciated!!

Hey jestinsinclairr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.

ATTACHMENT TIMES OUT! Mail, Safari and Firefox (Hotmail, ISP webmail)
I have a problem recently appeared out of blue. It consists of the following:
every time I try to send attachment the server times out (e-mails without attachments are sent swiftly).
Mail asks for another server to be able to send e-mail. On Hotmail account and my ISPs webmail (both in Safari and Firefox) it gets stuck until I get logged out from the page.
I have MacBook Pro and use Tiger 10.4.10 and all the latest software updates. No antivirus software. On the internet side, I have 512 ADSL. Download works fine - full capacity, browsing is good except e-mail clients.
I did god knows what. Swiched off FileVault, turned off my router's firewall, chatted for hours with my ISP support (he's a hot guy but that wasn't the reason) while fiddling on both ends. Went to the 'hotspot' cafe where the problem continued. Then I realised that it wasn't ISP (thought, never trust a handsome guy) or my router, but something that is affecting both Mail application and browsers. Clients are breathing on my neck for artwork and I am stuck.
Could it be the latest security update? Could it be magic? Well, I don't believe in magic! Does anyone have a clue?
Cheers,
Draganforget about my last message, if you disable plugins you won't be able to see vids on youtube.
What I did is remove all the plugins that were not for video.
To erase plugins just open safari and be sure to enable plugins on the Preference tab.
So, after you've enabled plugins, Open Safari>Help>Installed plugins
This will show you all the plugins you have installed in your mac. Once you see the list:
1. copy the name of the plugin file
2. open a finder window
3. paste the name of the plugin in the search box of the finder window
4. delete the plugin
It worked for me, I think the culprit was either the Silverlight.plugin or the Quartz Composer.webplugin

i have lost my iphone 5. The person who has my phone right now is still using my game center id to play one of my game that i have in that phone named "Clash of Clan". Could you guys help me to sign out this icloud's ID and game center's ID from that phone for me, or anyone knows how to do this, please mail back to me. Id : "[email protected]" Thanks.
As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you. -
i have an ippd touch 2g , a part of my keyboard won't work , i can type letters but i can't type numbers . please help i'm stuck with emojis keyboard
Try restarting the iPod by holding down the lock and home button together and then slide the power button to turn it off and then wait 10 seconds and start it up again. If it is not a reset issue then it may be a hardware issue. Is your iPod damaged or have you dropped it recently? If it is a hardware problem then you may not be able to fix it. If your iPod has multitasking options like the new iOS devices, close out the app and then try again, it should reset your device to letters instead of emojis.

Since downloading Yosemite 10.10.2, emails are not automatically downloading. I have to either click on Get Mail or click in and out om mailbox.
It's very frustrating as it does not happen on my iPad or Iphone.Howdy welcon,
It sounds like your Mail application is not checking for mail automatically anymore after updating to 10.10.2. It seems to me that the setting for this may have reset, or changed at some point thereafter so I would check the preferences for the Mail application:
General preferences - Mail Help
Check for new messages
When Mail gets new messages from the mail server. By default, the option is set to Automatically (Mail varies how often it gets messages, based on whether your Mac is plugged into an electrical outlet).
An IMAP account may get messages more frequently if the mail server supports the IDLE command; make sure the option to use it is selected in the account’s Advanced pane in Mail preferences.
If you set the option to Manually, click the Get Mail button in the Mail toolbar to check for messages. (Whenever you click an IMAP or Exchange mailbox, it syncs with the server, and shows new messages.)
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Tried setting up my verizon e-mail account on iPod Touch, 4th generation. Am able to send out e-mail messages but none of my e-mails on my Mac show up in the inbox. Just get the "Checking for Mail" endlessly.
On the iOS array of devices, you need to make sure all of the settings are right. I have found an official Verizon webpage for setting it up on Apple devices right here:

How to remove an e-mail, that won't let you to delete/move it. There is no sender or subject. I tried several times to get rid of it, but it bounces me out of mail back to home page?
Never seen anything like it. Do iPads get virus'?
Thanks for any help. I've never used this before.
LindaThere are no viruses for the iPad. Close the mail app and reboot the iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
We have too many passwords. Now I am not able to receive or send out e-mails. apparently the connections doctors telling me the IMAP account failed tha I had to verify username & password do not match. I don't remember the password I used as I have changed the password 4 times in the last hour and I am confused. How do I get to the area that I can check the IMAP & the SMTP password. If I changed the Apple ID password would that be the same password. My username is my yahoo address. Now do I go to yahoo.com to change that password? Unfortunately, I have to wait till next Thursday to do a one to one. That is the earliest.
I am really confuse and not good with computers. Please help.Hi Stan,
I am not sure when this changed, I keep mine saved in the browser because I do not like to login to every site I visit. But on new test devices lately the login for the sumo site has required that I use the user name, not the email. (For you this would be just Tanker or the username that appears inthe profile) -
I sent a large message with a video attached. The message seems to be stuck in my out going mail. Any suggestions?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Generally speaking, the video is not a very good medium to attach to an e-mail, because of its size. iCloud mail has a size limit on attachments of 20 MB, which is larger than many other providers and so you need to be aware of not only your limit for iCloud mail but your recipients limits as well. -
Help -Numbers update wiped out spreadsheets/templates
MacBook Pro OSx 10.8.5 Update of iWorks 09 - Numbers wiped out all my templates/spreadsheets.
The only ones shown are apples......where are mine? Need that data. Does anyone know where it went?
Or more importantly, how do I get them back?
Help Please. Thank you
If Im in the wrong place, I'm sorry. Not sure what the difference is. Appleworks vs iWorks
I thought Appleworks name was changed to iWorks. Used Appleworks for years but when bought this
computer, had to buy new "works" because other was so old. ??Barry,
Thank you for your response.
I haven't upgraded to Mavericks. Reading forums, it seems there are a lot of
problems people are having and features that have changed that aren't popular
with long time "Macs".
I was having problems with Java after updating to Safari 6.1, and eventually,
uninstalled and reinstalled OSX 10.8.5 to get back to Safari 6.0.5. I'm not
positive where I got the upgrade from but if I recall correctly, Software Update
said I needed to update.....so I did. However, I don't remember if it was before
or after reinstalling my OS. ?? If it was before, my templates wouldn't have still
been in the trash because I usually empty it daily.
My "Numbers" is v 2.3. It looks completely different than it did the last time I'd
used it. The "Pages" in my iWorks '09 folder is v 4.3 and Keynote is v 5.3.
If that helps you figure out where it came from and why things disappeared.
I did find my templates, but not where you said they'd be. Fortunately, after
reinstalling OS 10.8.5, I found a lot of files in my trash. Not knowing what they
all were, little voices were warning me, so I didn't empty it -- just in case
something was there that shouldn't be. Too many problems lately to trust
anything. Last night I went thru all those files. Most were things I couldn't
understand when I attempted to open them. However, I did find a "Numbers"
Folder. WIthin it was a "Templates" folder and within that was another..
"My Templates". When removed that from the trash, those opened and were
what I'd lost -- or would have if I'd just emptied my trash.
I also found among those files:
A "Calendar" folder that had everything that was on my Calendar but had
also disappeared;
A "Safari" folder that had all my bookmarks, et el.
A couple "Turbox Tax" folders for years past. I just pulled them out but haven't
tried to open everything to see what's there. I didn't think any of my Turbo Tax
should have been removed.
A "Mail" folder with, among other things, another folder within it called "V2".
Inside that were several other folders. One contained a lot of mail I'd downloaded
but hadn't moved out of "Mail" in a folder called "POP-(old email address)".
Also were Logs, Keychains, Crash reports and something called
"Saved Application State".
I tried to find the same folders in my present "Library". If I was able to find them,
they didn't have my old data. Afraid to delete the above Folders, I saved them.
I may not be able to get everything back to where it was, but at least I'll have it.
When I uninstalled and reinstalled OSX 10.8.5, it took over 12 hrs!
I couldn't believe it was actually taking that long. I don't know if that's normal or not.
I'd found the instructions for doing this in a blog......somewhere. Again, having the
problem with Java not working or being recognized as being present, and after days
going thru Apple's Community forums, everything I could find on Java's website
& Pogo's website, I finallyGoogled it. I found lots of other people were having the
same, or different problems since upgrading to Safari 6.1. Someone had posted
instructions on how to go about getting Safari 6.0.5 back. Starting up while holding
the "Command" and "R" keys, selecting to reinstall the OS and being taken to
the Apple App Store to download from there. One person did say it took a long time
but I had no idea their "long time" was going to be 12 hours!
Unfortunately, I'd just received Time Capsule but hadn't set it up and copied my
entire System and everything on it yet -- so it wasn't properly backed up.
The external drive I'd used before, rewrote files every time I backed up.
I was losing things so I quit using it.
I'd never experienced anything like this before and don't know if this was
suppose to happen or not after using the "Command" & "R" keys starting up.
No one called it a "clean system install" so I wasn't expecting it. Infact, they
only said to be sure to back-up your bookmarks, passwords & contacts. I'd
reset Safari, trying to solve the Java problem, so those had already been
wiped out-- or so I thought. Judging just from the number of Bookmarks found
in the trash, I think they may all be there.
I guess the bottomline here is.......don't empty your "Trash" after upgrading
anything until you know things aren't being trashed that you want.
If this wasn't suppose to happen, it's a bug that needs to fixed.
Thanks again.

Mail will not send out e-mails from my gmail smtp server
I am using Mail to send and receive e-mails. I have 3 different accounts that I use, of which two are GMail acounts. These two acounts receive e-mails as normal, but upon replying or otherwise sending out e-mail it refuses to send. It appears that the SMTP server is offline. I have re-entered my credentials etc, but this did not fix the problem. Can anyone help me to get over this annoying issue?
I am running OSX 10.10.1 YosemiteI am experiencing the same issue. All has been working fine & it just suddenly started today. OSX 10.10.1 Exactly as you describe. I have the same email account settings on my iPad & have no problems there, only on my Mac with 10.10.1

Contact list greyed out in mail
Since the Yosemite update, my contact list is greyed out in mail. I can't select any contacts to add to the "to" "CC" or "BCC" fields. I went to my privacy settings to see if mail had permission to access my contacts, but mail isn't even on the list of apps requesting permission. HELP?
Same problem in iMac version. For now, I've laboriously added the names one by one to a new message then saved it as a draft. Now at least I can load the draft, copy the address field then paste it into my real message. At three separated clicks per address, building a 65 member list is crap, Apple!

Seems I have a iCloud account on my iPad but not sure how I got it as I do not remember signing up for this feature. I got an e mail message saying I was running out for space on my iCloud and was given directions on how to find it on my iPad. I followed the directions but there was no iClound anywhere in my iPad settings.
Any help in figuring this out would be appreciated.If your iPad is running iOS 5 or higher, iCloud would be listed in Settings. If you are signed into an iCloud account your iCloud ID would be listed in Settings>iCloud.
