How do I re-install mail app?

My mail application is completely screwed up: it re-sends old messages to people and it's becoming a HUGE problem. It's completely random but it happens at least once a day. I'm also having trouble with attachments -- i often can't open them (even though it's just a file or something).
I would like to trash the application and just re-install it. Does anyone know how to do this?

The easiest way is to use a program called "Pacifist." It allows individual packages to be installed. Just Google the program name and mac and download it. ($20 shareware and totally worth it)
Use your original OSX 10.4 install disk and run pacifist and re-install the mail package using Pacifist. Download any updates (ie: OS X 10.4.5 combined) and repeat the process with the updated mail application included in the combination package.
You will now have a fresh, current install of mail.

  • How do I re-install "Mail" (v2.1) ?

    How do I re-install "Mail" (v2.1) ?
    My mail program stopped taking in mail (of any kind)
    but I can send mail ..... and get to the internet with safari,
    the app finally crashes after awhile of looking for mail.
    I did the connection doctor and activity viewer thing.
    Checked with my service provider and they say my mail is there ....
    and was able to access my mail thru "webmail",
    (a web based email checker that's a feature of our server)
    so password and username stuff all works ......
    maybe some pref is corrupted?
    I can only think my next step is to re install "Mail".
    How's that done?
    17' PB 1.5GHz, 10.4.8 and latest security updates

    problem solved!
    using webmail and activity viewer
    i saw where it was hanging ...
    and went in, did a search, then deleted a few emails.
    one was 6.8 MB, not all that huge but,
    everything started working again.

  • How can I re-install the app?

    Indesign CC was trashed. Creative Cloud Shows app as "up to date". How can I re-install the app?

    Hi Notebook57,
    You first need to uninstall the application completely.
    In Mac :-- Applications --->Utilities --->Adobe Installers
    in Adobe installers you will find the uninstaller for Indesign CC just run that and complete the uninstallation.
    In window :-- Control panel ---> programs and features --> uninstall Indesign cc.
    After doing this you can launch Creative cloud desktop ---> log out and log back in.
    You should see the option to install the software again.
    Thanks

  • How can I get my mail app to sync from my mac to iPhone, I don't have the 'info' option in iTunes?

    How can i get my mail app to sync from my mac to iphone? i dont have the 'info' option in itunes!
    I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

    You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

  • HOW COME I CANNOT INSTALL AN APP ON MY IPAD

    how come I
    cannot install an app on my ipad

    Some apps require an iOS of 5.1.1 or higher.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • How do I un-install an app on iphone 5

    How do I un-install an app on iphone 5?

    Only apps that you have installed can be deleted. Native iOS apps cannot be deleted. If you do not have Restrictions turned on in Settings for deleting apps, just hold your finger down on the app until it starts to wiggle, and there will be a small x by it. Tap the x and that will delete the app. Then tap on the home button again to stop the wiggle.

    Restore from your Time Machine backup to get the app and messages back. If you have not been backing up then you have lost all of your email's. You can use Pacifist to re-install the Mail App though, you can find Pacifist at:

  • Re-install Mail.app?

    How do I re-install the Mail.app? I can't find the download for it. I've got some sort of gremlins in my program that is deleting ALL my messages. Is this risky?

    HI,
    Try rebuilding the Mailbox first as I suggested here.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2347032&tstart=0
    Reinstalling the Mac Mail app won't help.
    If rebuilding the Mailbox didn't help, try restarting your Mac.
    If that doesn't help,
    Go to the Mac Mail Menu Bar, click Mail/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Mail. N
    Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail. If the mailbox functions as it should, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

  • How do I re-install mail? I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    I have accidently deleted mail.app from looking through forums I have found out how to use PACIFIST to extract the mail.app from my install disk. Upon doing that I have downloaded the Combo Updater for my current version of Snow Leopard extracted the mail.app from there and selected update when prompted instead of replace. >>>Note I have selected replace when update didnt work>>>> however neither way of going about this work and I continue to get errors when i try and open mail.app Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
    This is the original forum link that i referenced https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1302228?start=0&tstart=0

    Thank you. I solved my problem by using OPEN DNS, which gave me instructions as follows:
    Apple menu;
    System Preferences;
    Click Network;
    Select 1st connection (that I simply deleted--127.something);
    Click Advanced;
    Select DNS tab;
    Add the OPENDNS IP addresses using the + sign at bottom (208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222);
    Click Apply.

  • How to enable logging for mail.app in Mountain Lion

    I am at my wits end trying to figure this out....
    Does anyone have a clue how to enable the logging for mail.app under Mountain Lion?
    In the past, you could open up Console and click on Console.log and see the logging of mail. Under mountain Lion, there is no more console.log. I cannot figure out how to enable it.
    I have tried to run the AppleScript of "Turn On Logging" but the script errors out under Mountain Lion.
    Does anyone know how to do this or a better way, maybe a tool or something that can help you troubleshoot mail.app issues?
    Thanks in advanced

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem. The script "Turn on Logging.scpt" runs without error, but I do not see any socket logging. I only get two messages, which I also get when I start mail without the script by just clicking the mail.app icon in the dock. The Messages are:
    1/10/13 3:43:32.618 PM Mail[11276]: Using V2 Layout
    1/10/13 3:43:36.388 PM Mail[11276]: *** -[IADomainCache init]: IA domains cache is out of date.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • How to troubleshoot Windows 8 Mail app connectivity issues with Google Business Apps?

    My company went to Google Apps last year. I am unable to connect Mail App on Windows 8 to my corporate Google account. I am using m.google.com for server with SSL enabled, but no luck. I also enabled bit locker as my company policy requires device encryption.
    Mail App does not give a clear error message. It simple states that this PC does not meet security policies enforced by Google. Please advice. I already made peace when my Nokia Lumia 920 running windows phone 8 does not connect to Google
    apps because of a bug that would not turn on device encryption unless requested by Active Sync and it would not turn on with Google sync.
    These are annoying issues that Microsoft must fix to gain enterprise support. Here are the settings from my mobile settings page:

    Answer is of no use. I tried all the forums and websites. I am not able to connect to corporate google apps because it requires SD card encryption. How do I enable this on windows 8.
    Please discuss this with your boss and other peers before answering. This is an advanced question. I am going to paint this a little bit more..
    Today's enterprise requires that most devices support device encryption and Windows Phone does support device encryption but here is the problem- there is no support for SD card encryption. Even for phones like Lumia 920 that does not have an SD card cannot
    connect to Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync due to a bug in the implementation.
    When the policy parameter Require Encryption on Storage Card is enabled, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices misreport the presence of an SD card, even if the device has no SD card slot. The policy enforcement occurs, provisioning fails, and the device
    cannot be synchronized.  You can read more on their support site:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2464593
    This long thread on the Microsoft community is a testament to this problem:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/e...3ce3-49e4-8069-ecdccd55a5f9
    This is also a problem for those enterprises that are using google apps and running Microsoft exchange activesync. Take a look at this request and policy that will throw the 85010013 error on your windows phone.
    Request :
    https://m.google.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
    Server Data:Provision/Policies/Policy/Data/EASProvisionDoc/RequireStorageCardEncryption=1
    Overall, I hope Microsoft fixes this issue soon
