Help with re-installing mail app

Will I lose mail messages if I delete and re-install the apple mail app? It appears to be operating erratically and I think this may help.
also, my computer appears not to be fixable via utillity disk and recovery HD.. so this may also be the problem.

If you are using Windows Mahcine then go to control panel and uninstall the lightroom properly from there.
If you are using MAC then go to /Applications/Utilities/Adobe installers and find the uninstaller of lightroom and double click the same to uninstall.
If still you are not able to uninstall the application completly then use CS cleaner tool to uninstall the software. you can download CS cleaner tool from : http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

Help with iPhone sync/mail app. crashing

Hey all, I've now spent the better of 3days on the forums and have tried several approaches. Here's the problem: During syncing all is fine until iTunes starts to sync my mail (.Mac), at which point it freezes and an error message appears stating: that "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because the iPhone canceled the sync". Furthermore, the Mail app on the phone keeps crashing. The screen appears and starts to load my emails and once complete the screen goes black and returns me to the home page. Now, I did try the trick of deleting the AppleMobileDeviceHelper.app and was able to successfully sync the mail, however, the app still crashes on my phone. And when I put the AppleMobileDeviceHelper.app back in the folder, and try to sync, of course it freezes during the backup of the mail syncing. Help, help, my girlfriend is sick of me and this phone, I'm a bit wigged out at this point.
Thanks in advance to any takers.

You can do either/or. I would go with a backup since it has your contact info, email, etc. If you go from new, you will have to setup everything again.

Help with Re-installing an app through app manager after after accidental uninstalled?

Okay - I've purchased lightroom 4, with the intent to upgrade my creative suite from 5.5 to 6 a week or so ago... Adobe was kind enough to credit me back as at time of upgrade, CS6 was no longer available and lightroom 4 would have been included in my CC membership.
I've installed all the CC apps, and received a weird german email about LR4 intalls... So I uninstalled my current copy of LR4 and went to re-install from the CC app manager... It says that it is already installed and won't let me download it from the site... The trouble is that it isn't really installed anymore, and now I really need to use it... Any help would certainly be appreicated.
Thanks.

Help with badges for mail app

I have a badge on my mail application that says I have a new email. I've been through my mail numerous times to mark all of the msgs as read, but this badge refuses to go away. How do I get rid of this without disabling mail badges completely?

It's hard to believe that deleting a rule could have a bearing on the ability to receive messages from any account... unless that rule did something that prevented subsequent rules to process the messages that you apparently can't receive now.
That is, either having deleted the rule has absolutely no bearing on your problem, or the problem is that those messages are now being processed in an unexpected way by some of your other rules.
What type of accounts are these (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? What does "I cant receive mail in 4 of 8 accounts" mean?

...Not alone with problems on "Mail" app server connection, iMap!!!! I believe Apple is strengthening their server farm. Has been out for over a week; they were wise to have the iCloud also in the cloud.

Not alone with problems on "Mail" app server connection, iMap!!!! I believe Apple is strengthening their server farm. Has been out for over a week; they were wise to have the iCloud also in the cloud. Be patient!

Have you considered the possibility that the third party fan software might itself be implicated in the issue, theosib (or perhaps something else introduced at about that time?).
My inclination in a situation like this would be to back up your drive to an external, wipe the drive, and do a clean installation. At the very least I'd try an archive and install.
Do you have plenty of free space on the drive? Once you get things down below the last 10 to 20% things can get hairy at times, and may not be fixed as a result of simply freeing up some room, as free space fragmentation is likely to have set in.
As far as RAM goes, either "Rember" - http://www.kelleycomputing.net:16080/rember/ or, better still, but less user friendly, "memtest" - http://www.memtestosx.org/ does a much better job of checking your RAM than the AHT. Still takes a while to run for a thorough test, but much quicker than the approach you are planning on using.
You might also want to use "Activity Monitor" to check for any applications with progressive "memory leaks" or that are acting as CPU hogs, given your symptoms

Using Gmail Aliases with iOS 8 Mail App

I'm wondering if there is any way to use gmail aliases with the default mail app. I've already tried the methods listed on these two sites:
http://www.nathanpjones.com/wp/2014/01/using-gmail-aliases-in-ios-7/
http://tbb.co/sending-from-a-gmail-alias-on-ios-8/
I can already send from a few different aliases with the default mail app on Mac. I have two step authentication setup on on my gmail account so I've these methods with both my normal password and app specific passwords generated by Google. Is there something that I'm missing?

Seems to work properly for me. Are we looking at the same place? to instruct it to Delete instead of Archive:
In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (select account) > Account (select your e-mail address) > Advanced.
Mailbox Behavior for Deleted Mailbox: Trash.
then
Move Discarded Messages Into: Deleted Mailbox.
It wasn't this way by default. Move Discarded was Archive, and it gave the results you described. Changing that to Deleted works for me.
I set the Swipe left-to-right to Archive. So now one swipe will Archive, the other will Delete.
oooh... p.s.... this seems to work as well:

I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online. It is not possible to uninstall it. Do you mean the iTunes application? Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too. You need to tell us what it was you deleted.

Help a newb with setting up Mail.app

Im trying to set up my Mail app with my email account hosted with my shared hosting service.
Ive used mail.app before...but i seem to be running into some issues.
Ive used mail.app with .mac and mobileme email addresses and they functioned properly,my issue is that using the [email protected] doesnt seem to work so smoothly.
For example when i send a message in Mail.app it stores it only in the Mail folder in Mail but in a new folder in webmail called Sent Messages.
I use IMAP for Mail.app and with my iPod Touch (which uses the same EMAIL Address).
When i send messages using the ipod touch i dont get the excess mailboxes and the sent messages/deleted messages etc get routed to the properly mailbox in the ipod touch and Webmail.
These are the extra mailboxes i get when using Mail.app
They show up in both Mail.app and my Webmail.
SOO my question is; How do i properly set it up so i only have these mailboxes:
INBOX
SENT
DRAFTS
TRASH
and that they all tie to gether?
for example; send a message in Mail.app it goes into the Sent folder on both Mail.app and Webmail instead of a bogus Sent Mail folder automatically created.
Any advice please????

From Apple's web page on Exchange with Snow Leopard:
Infrastructure requirements
• Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1.
• Exchange Web Services (EWS) must be enabled. EWS is on by default in Exchange 2007.
• Exchange AutoDiscover must be turned on for automatic setup.
• Snow Leopard uses SSL over port 443 to connect to EWS.

Help with setting up Mail on 2 Macs?

I'm switching from Mailsmith to Apple Mail. I have exported all my Mailsmith mailboxes and successfully imported them into Mail on the desktop Mac, then recreated each in the On My Mac section and dragged all the pertinent messages from the imported boxes to the newly created ones.
This is my first experience with IMAP and Mail and while I like the fact of being able to access all my incoming mail on both Macs - the G4MDD and the MBP - they run different versions of Mail as the G4 has Leopard 10.5.8 installed while the MBP runs Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with its later version of the Mail app.
What I would like to do is have the same mailboxes on both Macs. Is there any way of exporting or moving the database of the On My Mac mailboxes from Mail on the G4MDD to Mail on the MBP?
I'm not sure how this is supposed to work, but I imagine one keeps the active online version's Inbox etc. fairly lean and archives messages to the appropriate mailboxes in the On My Mac section, but unless one does it on both Macs, one no longer would have access to the archived messages on the other machine. Or does one create all the mailboxes in the online/upper portion of Mail so they will all be online and thus always available to all Macs? But if something happens (server messups do happen, even to Apple) one would then risk losing all past history, since the reference Mail is the online version and not the local ones.
Colour me confused. Newbie to Mail so I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Worries
Ok, I've read another article where it says, similarly to the Help bit you quoted:
"In Mail, you can simply drag one or more mail-boxes from your mailbox list onto the icon representing your IMAP server. Mail copies the mailboxes (even nested ones) and their contents to the server, creating new mailboxes as needed."
I can't find any icon representing my IMAP server in the Mail window. Nor do I see any IMAP accounts in that window. I see Inboxes for my various accounts (as well as Sent and Trash) but nothing as described in the above quote. Dragging or Option dragging a Mailbox I had created from the On My Mac section to the upper one dosn't work. Sigh. What am I missing?

IMAP problems with Windows 8 mail app

Hi Guys...
I am having some trouble setting up an IMAP mail account on a Windows 8 machine.
When i setup the mail on the machine everything is fine and it is possible to receive and send mails.
After a couple of days it stops receiving mails. It is still possible to send mails, and there is no errors when trying
to send/receive. If I go to the webmail everything is fine, and I can see all of the recent mails in the inbox.
If I delete the account on the computer and set it up again, it receives all mails and everything is fine for a couple of days, and
then suddenly it stops receiving mails again.
Anyone else experienced this on a Windows 8 machine?
I am running mail.clients-domain.com on both incoming and outgoing mailserver.
On port 143 and 25.
I've tried setting it up with SSL just to test it. I did this with this mailserver:
mail.clients-domain.com.cust.b.hostedemail.com on both servers and port 143 and 993.
When i use these i get an certificate error in the Windows 8 mail app, and it is not possible for me
to accept the certificate or do anything.
Am i missing something simple on the Windows 8?
- Any hints or pointers is grately appreciated!
Best regards
Peter

Thank you for contacting us
I'm not sure of any reason for this happening intermittent. But for your information, If you want to use SSL/TLS when using your email client you need to use mail.b.hostedemail.com as incoming and/or outgoing mail server. This hostname has the SSL certificate installed on it and can be used for transferring the emails in a secured manner.
Also check this for further troubleshooting : http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/128/bc_1286.html#main_Resolving_issues_with_the_security_ certificate_when_configuring_an_email_client_ may help!
Kind Regards,

Problem with rules in mail.app

I've just started having a problem with my rules in mail.app that I just don't understand. I have several rules that I've had working for quite a while now, over a year. All of a sudden beginning about a month ago, some of them -- different ones at different times -- stop working and the incoming mail goes into my main mail box and don't get distributed according to the rules to the appropriate mail boxes.
When I check the rules, all of which are basically the same: If any of the following conditions are met, From contains XXX, Perform the following actions: Move message to mailbox xxx, I see that mailbox XXX has changed from what it should be to some other mailbox name which is a valid name but not the one that I originally put in the rule.
To make it a bit more strange, the rule with the wrong mailbox name is not executed and the mail winds up in my main mailbox.
When I edit the rule and change the mailbox name and am asked whether I want to apply the rule and I respond yes, the rule executed and the mail that landed in the main mailbox gets distributed the way it should.
But then anywhere from a day to a week later the same thing happens, that is, the mailbox name in the rule somehow gets changed again.
Has anyone seen this behavior before and/or have any suggestions for fixing it?

Are you really on 10.8.1 as per your profile - maybe updating to 10.8.3 might help.

Tips and help with re-installing Lion over Snow Leopard

I had MAJOR issues with my initial Lion install on my Mid-2009 MBP- so much so, that I had to wipe my hard drive and re-install Snow Leopard and all my applications. My major issues were as follows:
1. All my files were locked out- I could open them in most cases, but I couldn't overwrite them- Lion had aded some funky permissions scheme that I didn't recognize, and my user name wasn't present on any of them. In some cases, I couldn't even open files, even though they were resident on my hard drive (and in my own user folder) before the upgrade to Lion.
2. Apple's own Universal Binary apps wouldn't work after the upgrade. Final Cut Pro 6, in particular, came up with a message that it was a "PowerPC" app and wouldn't run- yet Shake 4.1 would run just fine!
3. Adobe Creative Suite 3- after the upgrade, my Abode Ceative Suite 3 apps worked just fine, for about a day- that is, until I tried to correct the file permissions issue by changing permission on a few of my folders in my User folder (and electing to change permissions in the files contained therein)- at which point my Adobe apps told me that they were damaged and needed to be reinstalled. Yet after uninstaling and reinstalling the entire Creative Suite 3 times, I still would get the same message.
My entire workflow is Adobe CS and FCS2- why chould I have to pay the upgrade costs just to use Lion? FCPX is completely brkoen for my workflow and eqipment, and Adobe can't even guarantee that CS5 works with Lion- so why does Apple insist on Lion when it's hardly even compatible with its own products?
I really want to use Lion, but I am looking for some tips on instalation to kep these problems from happening again. I didn' have ANY of these problems with upgrading OS 10.2 through 10.6. Any help with prepping my system/files for upgrading would be helpful. Thanks!

any new Apple kB articles
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=articles
Me, I think clone backups are more useful, and only use T.M. as secondary.
Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
I'd assume that professional apps may need to be tested still; and of course check to see what you have that depends on PowerPC code and Rosetta first. That has some in a tither.
A clone lets you still be able to boot Snow Leopard. Check out Carbon Copy, SuperDuper.

Can't send mail with powerbook G4, mail.app, mac OS 10.5.8 and verizon smtp server.

We just made the switch to Verizon.
Setting up Mail.app with my relatively new MacBook Pro (and OS 10.8.4) was very smooth.
Not so with my wife's old PowerBook G4 running 10.5.8, which she inherited from my daughter.
It seems to set up fine, using the same settings for the servers as on the MBP (it has to be done manually), but it is unable to send mail (via the verizon smtp server). The Connection Doctor thing does not have any trouble finding the servers and connecting.
I get the "The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.verizon.net." message.
These settings work when sending email from this verizon account from her iphone, or from my MBP.
I successfully set up my .me email account on the G4 and that was able to send mail.
Couldn't find anything online to shed light on this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Your asking peers here.
You didn't say which settings you were trying to use. Lots of people are posting about switching over to the latest EMAIL settings which include pop.verizon.net and smtp.verizon.net as the servers. However it has invariably been a mistake they are making or a special requirement of there DEVICE such as a shutdown and restart.
You should take a look at http://verizon.com/emailsettings . There are both the manual settings and some automatic trouble shooters that may be able to setup your device.
