HT3159 Mail app does not open

My mail application does not open anymore. It appears on the dock, but neither opens, nor does it close. Also, can't get the Mac to shut down, as it says the app is still open.
What can I do?
I have OS X 10.6.8 Snow leopard.
Thank you.

Hello,
You can Force Quit an application. Press the keys (at the same time) : command + option + escape
You will see a window when you can select an application and click Force Quit.
If that doesn't work, to shut down, press for at least 5 seconds on the power button of your Mac.
Hope this will help.

    Mail app does not open at all. When pushing the button nothing happens

    Try resetting your phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Mail app. does not open up- error 1000

    Does anyone know where I can download mail app. for imax OS x.2.8?

    You can't download the specific mail app. It would be on the install cds. Try installing the 10.2.8 combined updater. It might solve your problem: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdatecombo10_28.html
    My grandmother's computer is running 10.3.9. Mail stopped opening and I ran the 10.3.9 combo updater and it works fine now.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

    after upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

    First, select sender(s) as VIPs. Then the VIP category will appear.
    To select a sender as a VIP, open an email from that sender, then hover over their name and a star icon will appear to the left. Click the star, and that sender will be set as a VIP (and the category will appear in the pane on the left).

  • Mail App Will Not Open After 10.10.1 Upgrade

    A few days ago I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and ever since my Mail app will not open. It will bounce and show the indicator dot, but no window ever appears.
    Has anyone else encountered this?

    Reinstall Yosemite:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Mail app is not opening at all

    Hello
    A couple of days ago I restarted my computer. When I tried to open the Mail app, it just bounced once and then stopped. Tried it a few more times and it mostly bounced once then stop but once in a while it will bounce multiple times then stop. I couldn't restart right away so later that day I tried restarting and nothing. The problem still existed.
    I finally get some time to work on the problem between yesterday and today. I've tried deleting the com.apple.mail.plist (actually this was missing when I first went looking for it), deleted ~/Library/Mail and ~/Library/DownloadedMail (or whatever). Mail still wouldn't open.
    Then I opened up a terminal and found any reference to "Mail" in my home directory and selectively deleted those as well (not in any stupid, blind way). The problem still persisted.
    I decide, ok fine let's fire up time machine. Maybe /Applications/Mail.app got corrupt? Whatever, so I deleted it and restored the Mail app from 3 weeks ago (March 1st - when I knew it was still working) yet Mail still does not open.
    I've completely run out of ideas on what to do next and any input would be greatly appreciated. Is there a way to enable a verbose log so I could figure out why Mail is crashing?
    Thanks!

    Hi. I had the same problem today. I downloaded and installed the newest Onyx app, ran it's automation with the mail settings checked, restarted andd all is good. I think it was an issue with the mail envelope index but i'm not sure.
    Hope it works for you as well.

  • Mail App will not open, OR quit.

    My Mail app will not open, and now when I need to update my mac, it won't because it says the mail app "cancelled restart". Mail app will not open nor close. When I click on "Mail" at the top bar, the "quit" option is in light grey (not clickable). HELP Mail is still accessable on my phone. Is there a way to delte the app all together (with out having to take it in) and re download.

    IME, it has always been a flaky app- Mac up to date or not. I've force quit many times. It's an immediate fix but it would be nice if the app worked consistently. Currently, it won't open (which seems new) or close. Of course I will try force quit (easy solution; always has been) but this seems ridiculous. Early 2011 MBP all up to date.

  • Windows 8.1 Mail app does not sync with the Office 365 account

    My company has recently switched to Office 365. Windows 8.1 Metro Mail app does not work with Office365 account. When I switch to IMAP it works but that is soon going to be disabled and is not compliant with the company policy.
    I can add the account and it also pushes the security policies but it does not sync email at all. Says account is not available. The tablet shows up on the mobile devices on the office 365 and I could also remote wipe it.
    It seems everything works except basing email sync. What could be the issue?

    CR,
        Agree with Hrishi that you should open a service request, and if you can't log into your tenant, then use this URL to log into the administrative portal to log the service request:

  • Systeminformation.app does not open

    Hi,
    On both my iMac and my MBP mid 2009 the app does not open. The error code is -10810. I cannot find out what this error means and how to fix it. And why on both machines. I regularly, every two weeks fix permissions. And this problem has remained even before I installed Mavericks 10.9.4 a month ago on both machines.
    And I cannot find anyone having mentioned this as a problem when searching the internet.
    Thanks for your help.

    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 icon grid.
    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 take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages 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.

  • HT4993 After updating to iOS 6.1.3 my mail apps will not open. Help!

    My mail apps will not open the update. I have tried deleting my mail accounts and reinstalling, but still no luck. 

    Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of it.
    Try a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Pages app does not open on my iPhone 4

    Pages app does not open on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.01, touch the icon and it just returns to the home page where the icon for the pages app is.  I have Pages on my Macbook and have uploaded docs to the iCloud.  Phone iCloud is on.  What am I missing?

    Thank you, powering off by holding down home button and power button and then a restart worked. 
    Now one more question:  How do I open an iCloud pages document on my iPhone?  I see how to create new documents and how to open one that is stored on iDisk, iTunes or WebDAV ... I do not see an option for opening one that is stored in iCloud????  Thanks.
