HT1338 I am unable to open my mail icon

I have always used mail icon  on my macbook pro. One day I open my computer and I can no longer open my mail. I have updated my computer and checked for all app updates and still no luck.

I'm confused. If you can't open it, then how can you not quit it? It would have to be open for you to try to quit it.
Has it crashed?
If that is the case, could you post the crash log.
I would try a few things:
A safe boot Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
A test user account Isolating an issue by using another user account
Boot into your recovery partition and repair your hard drive and permissions When to Run First Aid in Mountain Lion's Disk Utility - For Dummies
If none of that is helpful, then I'd reinstall ML over your current installation with the combo updater OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)
But you might want to wait a few days for Mavericks to come out.

  • I have an iPhone4. I am unable to open my Mail icon - the screen comes up blank even though the icon shows 182 unread emails waiting. I uninstalled my email accounts and re-installed them - no change in the problem. Other apps work.

  • Unable to open "compose mail/settings/contacts" in standard view in 2 out of 3 Gmail accounts

    Unable to open "compose mail/settings/contacts" in standard view in 2 out of 3 Gmail accounts. When "compose new mail" is selected "loading...." appears at the top then the page is frozen. ie you can't select inbox etc. Changing from standard to basic h/ml then clears the Loading... and gmail can be used (without spellcheck etc).
    This might not be Mozilla, but I can access these accounts in standard view on another computer.

    Your Gmail account may well be an IMAP account, just like the iCloud mail account. In which case it will work in just the same way as iCloud mail, except that you will have to set it up manually on each device, where as iCloud mail adds the account itself when you log into iCloud.
    Whilst it works the same as iCloud mail it isn't iCloud that syncs it for you.

  • For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any  choice. Any ideas?

    You can setup Mail for iCloud on the eMac.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes

  • Unable to open Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars

    I'm unable to open Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.  It just reverts back to the home page every time I click on it.  I've tried resetting everything, but I still have the same problem.

    Thanks, Plimosoll.  I also finally got to the Apple shop where they were very helpful, but lost some of my backup because I don't fully understand the system yet.
    I asked what the so-called Genius in the shop had done.  He told me he had done a DFU restore.  This is not explained in any of the documentation provided by Apple, but is easily found using Google.
    It's slightly annoying, as I tried to get this information from the phone help.  I was told that as I bought the Ipad more than 90 days ago it would cost me GBP25 to answer my question.  In the time that the person explained this, albeit cleary and politely, she could have just told me to Google DFU restore.  Still, I suppose that is how Apple has made so much money.
    Anyway this fix has opened up a whole new area for using my Ipad.

  • Can't open my mail icon, as soon it launches it shuts down immediately

    Can't open my mail icon, as soon it launches it shuts down immediately

    Have you tried closing the Mail app completely and then re-opening it ? From the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I can not open the mail icon

    All of a sudden I can not open my mail icon, zilch nothing HELP! please

    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 and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to launch Mail. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • This morning I cannot open the mail Icon. It worked last night. What happened?

    This morning I cannot open the mail Icon. It worked last night.

    I'd first recommend restarting your computer before taking the steps below.
    Click the Finder icon on the left side of the Dock to open a new Finder window (if no new window appears, select New Finder Window from Finder's File menu).
    Select Applications from the left sidebar.
    Locate Mail inside of Applications and double-click the icon to launch Mail.
    If this doesn't work, could you provide some more information as to how you're opening the application and what you're seeing?

  • Recently I have been unable to access our Comcast Xfinity E-mail application in Firefox. It opens but is "frozen" so that I am unable to open e-mail messages or the full inbox.

    I have been using Firefox instead of MS Explorer to access our Comcast E-mail account on my Lenova laptop for several months.
    Firefox was loaded onto my Lenova Laptop during mid-2011.
    I continued to primarily use MS Explorer as my search engine while accessing our Comcast e-mail account until the latter part of 2011. At that time I was urged to try Firefox when I seemed to have slow processing speed in Explorer.
    It worked great, and I was very pleased with the processing speed while using my e-mail application (seemed much faster than MS Explorer).
    A couple weeks ago I first discovered I could not open any of the listed e-mails in the Comcast Inbox, nor am I able to expand to a full view of the inbox instead of the summary view of only the few latest new message titles. New incoming e-mails appear in the listing, but I am unable to open them from my laptop.
    I have no problem with our Comcast E-mail application while using MS Explorer on my laptop (except for slower processing speed).
    We also can access all Comcast e-mail functions from our Dell desktop in both Firefox and Explorer; therefore the cause of the problem doesn't appear to be Comcast.
    Any suggestions on what caused this problem and how to fix it? Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI unability to open pdf mail attachments

    Since upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Pro XI I am unable to open most pdf attachements on outlook. The message is that the file is corrupt or was encoded wrong. How do I correct this.

    Hi Pat
    I tried to save the attachment to the hard drive in Outlook 2013.
    When opening the file in acrobat the error says that the file is either not a supported type or damaged (incorrectly encoded)
    I have Acrobat Pro XI version 11.0.10 and windows 7 64 bit installed. It worked perfect on Acrobat pro X until about December 2014. In tried a repair, a clean install of XI. The files are bank statements. It works on Mac and Adobe reader, so the files must be correct.
    Regards
