I can't use my Mail application on my 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Mac

I can't use my Mail application on my 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Mac.
Any suggestions?

iCloud is not supported on 10.6.8, the minimum is Lion 10.7.2.
You can make mail work by manually entering the account however:

Can I use another mail application other than Mail?

I am somewhat frustrated with Mail because it doesn't allow to set permanently the style of how I want to write my emails. Is there another application out there which would be similar to say MS Office's Entourage?

Hello,
How about trying Outlook for Mac? If you have the latest Microsoft office for Mac then Outlook 2011 is bundled with it. You can also try Thunderbird from Mozilla. Works great!

Can I use iCal/Mail from Snow Leopard to access iCloud?

Hi All-
I got the iOS 5 upgrade on my iPad & iPhone. I have a MBP that is running Lion (10.7.2), and a MacPro that is still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
I currently use MobileMe to sync my calendars, contacts, and bookmarks. I can view these in iCal, Address Book, and Safari, respectively.
If I move my MobileMe account to iCloud, will the iCal, Address Book, and Safari Bookmarks on my Snow Leopard Mac Pro still sync properly, or will I need to upgrade my MacPro to Lion prior to migrating to iCloud?
I can initiate the move on the MBP, but I don't want to strand the MacPro.
Thanks!

This is what applies on a Pre-Lion Mac when you upgrade your MobileMe account to iCloud:
Your email, calendars, contacts and bookmarks, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud.
Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).

I can't find the mail application

Hi, I just bought a second-hand macbook air (model 2009, os x leopard) and I can't find the mail application. Maybe the previous owner deleted it or something? If so, how can I get it back? (sorry for bad English)

This is a photo of what i see. It's completely different! The text on the DVD says: Applications Install DVD. it must be it
This is not correct.
I have never seen an Applications Install DVD.
I said to use the OS install DVD. It should be in:
My Leopard install DVD looks like this:

IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email. "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination". Both appear correct in preferences/accounts. Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
(This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

Hi there
I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months. I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

Can't find the mail application

Hello everyone:
How can I get my mail application back. I only got the icon with the "?" on it on the dock.
Someone probably trashed the app without knowing. Any help please...thanks

check in the Applications folder at the root level of your hard drive using finder.
If it's there drag it to the dock and drag teh question mark off the dock. If it's not there insert leopard install DVD, open "optional installs" folder, double-click on optional installs.pkg and follow the instructions to install Mail. when done reinstall 10.5.5 combo update to bring Mail up to date.

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

Can I use Apple Mail on my ipad and on a pc using safari browser

You would configure the iPad to connect to your email provider's IMAP servers. How that's done is specific to whatever mail provider you use. If it's one of the major email services like AOL, Hotmail or Yahoo, then you should be able to just create a new mail account on the iPad and follow the instructions you see on the iPad. If your email is not listed, then you'll need to contact your mail provider so you can know what to enter for the server name, etc.

Can you use BBB iplayer application with Apple Tv

Can you use BBC iplayer application on Apple TV. I live in Spain

The iPad/iPhone need to be on the same section of the network as the Apple TV. connect the Apple TV to the wireless router instead of the AT&T router. If you can, connect the other devices as well...

Mail window may be in the Full Screen mode.
Move the mouse pointer to the top right corner of the Mail window and hold it there.
Menu bar should drop down and click the blue double arrow icon.
Full Screen toggle shortcut: control + command + F

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Outlook is a mail program, and Gmail is a mail service. You can't use an iCloud mail with Gmail because Gmail can only be used with Google mail. If you don't want to use Outlook, you can set up your iCloud mail using this information > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864?viewlocale=en_US
Also, you can access to your iCloud email on http://www.icloud.com

I deleted my Mail app sometime back. I reinstalled it again, today, on my Macbook Snow Leopard Mac OS but when I try launching Mail, it says ' You have Mail version 4.0(1075/1085). It can't be used on Mac OS X version 10.6.8(Build 10K549)",

The Mail version for your machine is 4.6 (1085) You can get it via the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Then follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
