HT6030 'Mail Update for Mavericks' destroyed my archived mail tree

Hello,
I bought my MacBook 15' Retina last week and imported my Mail archive into my new Mac. The 'Mail Update for Mavericks' destroyed completely my archived mail tree. I need to remove all of it and import this again. A really poor update!!!
Anyone else experiencing the same behavior?
Thanks
Leon

HT5361 Mail update for Mavericks 1.0 is repeatedly not installing.

I have tried to install the latest Mail update for Mavericks. The update will not install for me. It appears to install, but never does. Any solution?

How do you know it isn't installing? For reasons known only to Apple, the version of Mail doesn't change to 7.1 as an update normally does.

Mail Update for Mavericks will not install

Downloaded the Mail update for Mavericks. When I run the installer, it says my volume does not meet the requirments for this update.
Thoughts?

Yes. The Mail Update requires 13A603 to install.

HT6030 I cannot install the Mail Update for Mavericks.

I download the file. I invoke the .dmg file. I am told to follow the directions. I approve the licence. I am then shown three disks. My drive containing OS X, my external drive dedicated to Time Machine, and a disk, which I don't have, claiming to contain the upgrade. All three are listed with exclamation marks stating they do not meet the upgrade criteria. What criteria am I missing? I am running 10.9.1
The reason I am trying to upgrade is because I have 19000+ email messages listed in my inbox. I use the inbox as a storage medium for messages not important to me (yes I have a lot of messages). I was only able to go back a year - that is all that showed up. I deleted them. BUT the system indicates
I have 19,000 left. I can't see them. Where are they? I would like to delete them. If necessary I would like to delete them from Time Machine, if I can't, any
ideas on how to tell Time Machine not to back up email in the future?

HI,
With some app's .dmgs you will get a "disk" put on the Desktop.
It will often open the window showing you the contents which is often the .mpkg installer.
Going through the Installer process you are sometimes offered the choice of where the item is put.
This example I chose to work with did not.
It is going to install it on Macintosh no matter what.
Example of one that might offer further "drives" or "disks"
In this case the other two are not fully recognised. The "drive/Disk" for AppleJack itself has no room.
I am also not aware of an standalone (Apple) Mail updater.

Mail update for Mavericks appears stuck. What is best next step?

Since trying the upgrade tonight, I'm getting the "Mail Upgrading. This may take a few minutes" If I get my cursor over that window I get the beachball. Other programs are responding, but the progress bar has been in exactly the same place (about 1/3 of the way) for 2 hours. I tried force quitting, force quitting through Activity Monitor. I even restarted...and there it is. If the bar had progressed a mm or two I would be more hopeful that it will self-resolve.
I have to say this who Mail fiasco with Mavericks has been frustrating. I was excited to see the Mail update saying that addressed the gmail problems...not so much now. Any one else with this? Advice appreciated.

You could try those steps, it helped me with many Mail problems:
Shut down Mail
In Finder, go to "~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/" (just do CMD+Shift+G and paste the path)
Move all "Enevelope" files to another place (like desktop)
Restart Mail and let it convert/reindex your mailboxes
If this did work out, you can trash the Envelope Files you moved earlier.
Note: let it run, even if a beachball appears. Depending on how many mails you have, it could take some time. If it does not work and you're on a status quo you could try it the hard way:
You will have to reconfigure your accounts and import you old messages:
Quit Mail
Go to the User Library (CMD+Shift+G and paste following path: ~/Library/)
Move, dont copy, the "Mail" folder to another place (like your desktop)
Open Mail. It will act as if no account is configured.
Configure all your accounts
Check if everything is working fine (in- and outgoing messages)
If everything is ok, go to "File"->"Import Mailboxes" (i think it spells like this in english)
In the appearing window, choose "Apple Mail" and click next
Now choose the Mail folder you relocated earlier
Let Mail import all the Messages
In Mail there will be an new Mailfolder "Import" or "Imported Mailboxes". If you browse it, you should find all your old messages.
Just reorder them and put them into the right place.
Hope this helps...

HT6030 Mail Bugs in latest update for mavericks 27/11/13

The latest mail update for mavericks seems to have a bug where you can continuously scroll down so the mail stream disappears. Usually you get the classic apple bounce but that seems to have dissappeared. Also you can't scroll within the preview of mail on the right of scree. Please fix!
Anyone else notice this?

HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1. Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional. Advice?

I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

1. Mail update for v.2.1.3 for Tiger 2. OS10.5 3. SMTP server intermittent

1. Is there any Mail update for OS 10.4.11 users beyond v. 2.1.3?
2. Is there any version of OS 10.5 (Leopard) installable on G4s described below? I know OS 10.5.6 needs a faster processor so cannot be installed.
3. MAIN QUESTION: I have concluded after months of apparent SMTP server problems that the cause lies with neither my main ISP (ATT-Uverse) nor with the 2 email accounts we have a local dial-up/DSL ISP now owned by Cincinnati Bell from which we POP and send (SMTP) server. ATT-Uverse has approved, and disabled filters to prevent, this unusual practice for one of their customers to use a 3rd party's SMTP server and the Cinbell firm also has no problem.
Nevertheless, multiple times a day, my password is refused and 'Mail Connection Doctor' reports that 'trying to log into this SMTP account failed.' The result is that I can only send mail to addresses in the same mail domain ['@name.type']. Both ISPs, however, report that all my settings are correct, are working, are pingable, etc. Sometimes just quitting and restarting Mail clears up the problem for a while. Anyway for many months and many reasons, I always assumed the problem lay with the ISP or with connections between my computers & the POP & SMTP Mail serving ISP. This ISP sent a technical manager to my location who set up a PC computer using Outlook with _my settings_ and with an ethernet connection to my ATT-Uverse Router. He had no problem using Outlook for sending or receiving test messages.
So after much effort by various IT technical support staff from two different ISPs, I am forced to think that the problem while described as the SMTP server's refusal to accept my established passwork is really internal to Mail v.2.1.3 and the settings I have to use. In this case, to enable SMTP service on Port 25, I do need to use extended authentication (i.e. full email address in one field and password in another.
Has this issue been reported by others and is there a fix or workaround. I would prefer to continue using Apple's Mail client & to use POP mail rather than another client or a ;cloud; connection like Google Mail.
Thanks.

It'll run fine, you just can't Install it... LOL
There are a couple of workarounds though, installing it on a fast enough PPC Mac to an External Firewire Drive, or editing the check for that CPU Speed, but you'll have to search for, like....

Hmmm, I don't think I've ever read of anyone having more problems than ATT!?

Updated latest update for maverick and am having issues

i updated this past weekend to the latest update for Mavericks. and cannot get past the system setting up screen. what can i do to get past this?

apologizes, the mac is intel, and the update was downloaded from apple. as I recall it asked me if I wanted to setup icloud, and I clicked later. then it started saying "setting your mac up.....".I let it go for a while, two times, thinking it needed more time. it did not take me to the desktop at all.
I just read a discussion about reinstalling mavericks to repair what might have a snag. i also have a call into apple later when i get home.
can you elaborate on reinstalling the mavericks, for repair, without erasing the drive?

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this?

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this? I just do not want to loose any data. Thank you for your help.

you should always make a backup of data regularly, especially when upgrading to a higher version of OS X. Just because it's free has no bearing on it giving anyone any problems. The only concern you may have is not all older programs will work with 10.9 that do with 10.6. Check here to see if you have any programs that would not run in 10.9: https://tidbits.com/article/12156

With HP update for Maverick my photosmart C309A does not work properly

After the HP-update for Maverick my printer HP Photosmart C309A does not work correctly. The scan facility is gone and the printer "hangs" after one print. I had to reset the printer software from a backup and to disable the automatic installation facility on my IMac. Shortly, very very very nasty. I hope this is the way for Apple to change this update into a good one. There is no other way to communicate with Apple then through the Community. I wander if Yosemite gives the same problems with printers.

You are welcome.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
Feedback
Some people have solved this by restoring their previous driver from their backup.

Customise software update for Mavericks only

I am working on building up my MiniServer to do more than just file sharing, the next thing that would be nice is to cache software updates for the multiple instances of the Mac OS I run. When I turn on Software update, I can't parse the updates that are only for Mavericks unless I sort by date and manually manage it. That is quite time consuming and being that I don't use any version before 10.9 and soon to be 10.10, no other updates are needed.
I ask because storage is a bit limited in my case and it would be easier to have the server auto-cycle through a 15GB cache of the latest updates for Mavericks instead of downloading everything from the beginning of time.
Is that possible?

Software Update Server provides either full manual operations, or automatic operations.
Automatic operations fetch all updates, for all active OS X versions.
Short answer: Get more disk space. Aim your Server.app service data at (for instance) some big external disk, via Server.app > select the server at the left column > Settings > select Edit to the right of Service Data. That'll let you increase the size of your Caching Server caches, as well.
