How to re-install mail app (snow leopard)?

I accidently trahsed the mail app that some of my mail files are deleted as well as my Outgoing Mail Server was deleted.
How to re-install my mail app and will it recover the mail files and fix my outgoing mail server?
WIll it make me send mail? How to make my Outgoing Mail Server NOT offline?

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:

I upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

i upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

IPhoto is not included in any OS upgrade. It is a seperate application. Unless you choose to erase your drive when you upgrade no application including iPhoto is affected by the upgrade (except potential compatibility issues). If you need to reinstall iPhoto for and reason you do it from the original source. Either
1- the restore disks that came with your computer
Or
2- the iLife DVD upgrade that you purchased
Or
3- the App store

How do I fix Mail in Snow Leopard where I cannot send emails from my account to another account I've set up in Mail, but the reverse works fine?

I have a problem with Mail in Snow Leopard in that I cannot set up two email accounts for myself and my wife with the same ISP and have them operate properly. I've set up the accounts in strict accordance with my ISP's instructions for setting up email accounts on Mac Mail but I cannot send an email from my account to my wife's without a drop-down message appearing that Mail 'cannot send the email from this server. Please edit the server list'. No amount of tweaking appears to work. Applecare consultants have so far been unable to get it to work and a recent visit to the local Genius Bar in the Apple Store was fruitless also. My ISP's help line was unable to solve the problem even with a supervisor level consultant. The ISP concluded it was some kind of 'bug' in Mail.
I could send emails from my wife's account to mine, but not vice versa; I could send emails to other addresees without any problem and I can send emails from my account to my wife's using the ISP's webmail.
Does anyone please have a solution to my problem? At the moment we're operating one account (mine) on my Macbook and my wife's is set up on her iPad2. As we prefer to use the Macbook for storage and (using Time Machine) for back-up of our data, the two accounts on separate machines is a nuisance.
Another factor is that I prefer to control when I download emails and set my preferences accordingly. One of the so-called 'fixes' that were tried wound up downloading emails regardless of settings, even after removing my wife's account; the matter was remedied only after I had removed all accounts form Mail and started afresh from scratch.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?). As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing. Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail. I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem. You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox. Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course. The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself. I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions. This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line. You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
Many thanks for your perseverance. You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

RE-INSTALLING MAIL IN SNOW LEOPARD

I want to re-install MAIL and Address Book in OS X Snow Leopard. I have tried following the instructions on Apple Support (re-start and hold down the Control and R keys) - but nothing happens, my macbook just re-starts as normal. Any advice? I am pretty sure I didn't get an install disc with the macbook as everything came pre-installed, so how can i re-install from over the internet?
The reason I want to re-install MAIL is because the addresses stored in the contacts memory on Mail dont' seem to be updating in sync with the contacts in Address Book. As a result I can't sync my Address Book with Itunes and my Iphone (it keeps syncing with the contacts in Mail, which has older data from the first import of contacts when i first bought the Macbook). I deleted Address Book hoping I could re-install a new version and over-ride the address book stored in Mail, but deleting Address Book did not delete the contact lists linked to the Mail application. Not sure if I am making myself clear. There seem to be two Address Books : one is the application Address Book, and the other is the Mail address book, and they both seem to exist independent of each other.
Any help with either re-installing Mail and Address Book so that I have just one version of my contacts much appreciated.
JM.

Not sure if you realize you need PCIe hardware RAID controller.

Forget TimeMachine for cloning your system, Apple DU Restore or SuperDuper does fine (you can still use T/M if you want).
There is no software way to create RAID5.

How do I import mail from Snow Leopard to Lion Mail?

Tried dragging ~/Library/Mail files and folders across.
But Mail insisted on my setting up an accounr (I have several) and put everything into that one account.
Anyone know of a foolproof doc./url or checklist, please, which explains how to get everything that was in Snow Leopard Mail into Lion Mail?
Thanks!

similar "solution" for how to import ical from snow leopard to lion:
1) copy the following files (e.g. from a snow leopard backup) prior to first opening ical:
1a) ~/Library/Keychains/ (folder "Keychains")
1b) ~/Library/Calendars (folders "Calendars")
1c) ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.* (ical preferences files, "com.apple.iCal.helper.plist", "com.apple.iCal.plist")
1d) ~/Library/Preferences/iCalExternalSync.plist
2) then open ical in lion ... import/update will follow
if you have opened ical prior to the above steps these files (1b, 1c and 1d ) have already been created, so you have to replace them with your backups from snow leopard described above
if you have set up calendar accounts in system preferences "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" you might have to delete them before applying the above steps
ps:
not quite sure if the following steps are necessary (or did help) for mail/ical import, because mobileme sync works now different in lion (no option for syncing calendars anymore within system preferences—>mobileme) ...
i did a mobileme sync in snow leopard prior to the clean install of lion with:
Calendars
Mail Accounts
Mail rules, Signatures, and Smart Mailboxes

How do you install mac osx snow leopard 10.6.3

when installing on my pc it says i need intel what do i do to install the snow leopard 10.6.3

To clarify, Mac, Macintosh, are names for machines made by Apple Inc, as well as the operating system that will run on those machines.. If you don't see on the machine either the Apple logo, which has the icon of an Apple with a leaf out its top, and a crescent bite taken out of it, or the name MacBook followed by Air, Pro, or nothing it won't install Snow Leopard. iBook, Powerbook, PowerMac are all older models that don't support Snow Leopard. Machines by Compaq, Dell, HP, Toshiba, Gateway do not support any Mac OS. It would help to know what you are running. If you are running a Compaq, Dell, HP, Toshiba, or Gateway, you can get a new Mac Mini for as little as $600, and used or refurbished one for less. If you need help finding a used or refurbished Mac, we can give you resources for what will run Snow Leopard.

How do I reset Mail in Snow Leopard 10.6.7?

It no longer downloads messages from the Exchange server but my phone and other computers do.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.

Mail in Snow Leopard (starting from scratch, fresh install, POP gone?)

Where is a good manual/FAQ/Help file that explains how to setup POP gmail accounts in the new Mail in 10.6??
Did a fresh install on a new machine, and can't for the life of me figure out how to set it up (keeps selecting IMAP by default, no matter what I do, then when I setup a POP account it just sits there).
How come it worked in 10.3, 10.4, and in 10.5 then in 10.6 it just acts all goofy and won't connect? Is this the definition of 'snappier'? I think so, because I'm about to.
Thanks.

Like you I did a fresh install and when setting up my gmail accounts found the only available option of setup to be IMAP. I found the fix to this ANNOYING ISSUE.
Basically the auto-setup assistant that automatically starts in Mail w/ snow leopard looks to see if you enter "gmail.com" as your selected service and AUTOMATICALLY configures it to use IMAP instead of POP.
Now I have tried going in and disabling IMAP and entering all the correct POP settings after the wizard completes setup but I could never get a functioning connection.
The solution is to click the + sign to add an account but instead of butting "@gmail.com" change your address to "@yahoo.com". Type in the correct password and click continue. It will attempt to check the connection but will fail, click continue anyway.
From here you will have to change the POP settings from the defaults for yahoo to those of gmail. Remember those are pop.gmail.com; username is your ENTIRE email address. Ensure everything is right and click continue.
Again change the SMTP setting from those of yahoo to those of gmail's. Remember smtp.gmail.com!
Click continue and finish the setup. Once the account is setup you will have to change your address from @yahoo.com to @gmail.com and you are finished. Your account should connect and work just like it always did.

After installing OC X Snow leopard my Mac won't go to sleep. unless I close everything out. It wasn't like that before the "upgrade". How do I fix it? Thanks

After installing OC X Snow leopard my Mac won't go to sleep. unless I close everything out. It wasn't like that before the "upgrade". I have looked at the Energy saving icon and everything looks OK. How do I fix it? Thanks

OK I solved it.
I followed instructions from http://superuser.com/questions/214943/what-is-preventing-my-macbook-from-sleepin g/409481/
Go to Utilities in the Applications folder and open the "Terminal" app.
Type pmset -g and hit Enter
If "sleep" has 0 next to it and the words "imposed by" or "prevented by ; The number next to the imposed by is the process ID causing the problem. Copy that number.
Type ps -e | grep <process ID here> and hit Enter. This will list all running processes that have that ID (will also include the grep process)
For me it turned out to be Internet Sharing enabled that prevented my MBP from sleeping.
