HELP!!! Mail wont open

Hi can someone pleaseeeeee help me with this problem. It all started about a month and half ago and i am unable to open mail. I have my mail in my dock and everytime i click on it i see "mail" at the top of the browser but the actual mail server or browser doesn't open. I dont know if this had to do with me downloading a mail notifier from google gmail and since then when i tried to open mail it stop working it wont open! i uninstalled the google app and it still wont open i tired everything i think, i even turned off the computer and back on and nothing. I have a mac book pro tiger 10.4.11 Please HELP! thanks in advance.

First I'd backup your whole Mail folder, with a right Mouse click>Archive, move to a safe place, also move the file below to a safe place.
Try moving this file first, then logout/in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
If that doesn't work try the .plists in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
If you wish to reinstall Mail, it's on your Install Disk.
Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4...

"Here's a list of all the custom installation options available with Optional Installs.mpkg:
* Applications
o Address Book 4.0
o iCal 2.0
o iChat 3.0
o iTunes 4.7.1
o Mail 2.0
o Oxford Dictionaries
o Safari 2.0
o X11"
Personally, I'd leave Mail just lie... it's like trying use an Etch-a-Sketch to replicate the Mona Lisa for me!
I use these two...

  • My mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

    my mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open Mail or Safari.

  • Mail wont open attachment

    At some point in the last two months, OS Mail quit opening attachments (PDF, .doc, .ppt) from email messages. They now have to be saved, then opened from their saved location, at which point the files work fine. I used to be able to just click and they would automatically open.
    I didn't see anything obvious leading to this problem in system preferences, mail preferences or adobe or microsoft that would have led to this. I have looked for answers on Apple and elsewhere and didn't see this problem addressed.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Mac Mini
    OS 10.8
    Mail version 6.0
    Microsoft Word 2008 12.3.3
    Adobe 8.3.1

    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 page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Mail wont open in Leopard

    Have upgraded to Leopard also installed XP Pro in NTFS format, I use Leopard for all day to day stuff and XP Pro infrequently. When I try and launch MAIL the following message appears on screen MAIL WONT LAUNCH. During the set up of XP Pro I went on line and validated. I was wondering if this has blocked my mail. Safari is working fine and all other network links around the office are fine.
    Thanks

    Sounds like you've co-minglied an old install?
    Check your MAIL app version...should be 4.2. If not and you can't find it, do a custom install from the SL DVD and choose to install related applications only.
    If still no joy, try this - find the /Library/Preferences folder in your user/Home folder and then locate and delete this file:
    com.apple.mail.plist
    *Caution* - doing this may clear your account settings so be sure to note those first in the event you are required to reconfigure, etc.

  • HELP iTunes wont open but runs in system process on xp64 pro

    iTunes was working just the other week. Now all of the sudden it wont open. However it will be running in my system processes taking up 36,752k
    I've searched the forums and tried the suggestions also installing and uninstalling and upgrading to the latest version. iTunes very rarely gives me a problem and nothing major has happened to my system. I need a fix for this ASAP I use iTunes just about every day!!
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Xp64 doesnt have problems running 32bit programs for me
    However there's got to be some kind of registry for this.

  • Mozilla firefox will not open, and wen i tried to open the uninstall helper, that wont open either

    when i tried to uninstall it, it doesnt open a window to let me uninstall it. when i tried to open it, it doesnt do anything. when i tried to use the uninstall helper, that doesnt open either. idk y Firefox is actin up, ive never had a problem with it before

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Mail wont open, please help!

    Mail won't open! its there on the strip on the desktop but there is a ? over the icon and I can't find mail at all in applications or system pref's.

    OK, if it's working in two accounts it must be somehwere .
    All the applications that are to be shared by all users of the Mac should be located in Macintosh HD>Applications - is Mail located there when you are logged in to your account - not in the Applications folder of your User Account?

  • My yahoo mail wont open. It opens in IE but not in Firefox. Its just stays in page loading mode and never actually loading or going to an error page. Can you help?

    I also have a problem with my Facebook page where the page doesn't fully load and I cannot see the people who are live in chat.
    I have been able to login on occasion by googling yahoo mail and logging through the Google link but that is not working tonight.

    By the way, the safari setting is: private browsing off and accept cookies from visited. Much help is appreciated!

  • Mail wont open says home directory is full. HELP?

    I dont know what happend but i restarted my powerbook today and when i got back to the desktop and tried launching mail it gives me the following message.
    MAIL CANNOT UPDATE YOUR MAILBOXES BECAUSE YOUR HOME DIRECTORY IS FULL.
    You must free up space in your home folder before using mail. Delete unneeded documents or move documents to another volume.
    what happend to cause this and what can i do to fix it.
    Thanks

    If your hard drive has at least 5GB of free space available, quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Envelope Index. Move the Envelope Index file to the Desktop.
    Afterwards, copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Launch Mail and you will be prompted to import all mailboxes available in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail.
    Select OK and allow the import process to complete and a new Envelope Index file will be created automatically by Mail within the Mail folder.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully imported and are available, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and the old Envelope Index file from the Desktop.
    This should resolve the problem.
