I cannot launch Mail?

Hi,
Since yesterday I am not able to launch the application Mail. When I click on the icon nothing happens.
Now the only way  I get to access my email is from Safari...
Does anyone know where does the problem comes from?
Many thanks.

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first.

  • I cannot launch Mail after updating

    There was an automatic update and then I could not launch Mail. It is in the applications folder but nothing happens when I click on it. I tried re-installing from disk, still no luck. Checked for updates as well and no new updates.
    Error message says "You have Mail Version 4.5 (1084.1085) it cant be used on Mac 05X version 10.6.8.

  • Cannot launch mail application

    Sorry that I am posting this twice - I posted it inadvertantly on the Tiger thread...
    Suddenly I am not able to launch Mail. It is on the dock but the icon has a question mark on top of it. It is no longer in the Applications folder, however, I can't imagine that I deleted it.
    I tried to do a software restore, but it didn't help.
    I am getting quite worried! Suggestions????
    Thanks in advance...

    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.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Cannot Launch Mail app

    Hi -
    I have an iBook G4 with Tiger v.10.4.3. I've been using Eudora as my mail manager, but I got fed up with the poor integration with Tiger so I have just switched to Thunderbird (I check 6 accounts and get hundreds of messages a week).
    Some apps seem to have options for which email sw to use (Office and Opera, for example) but others don't. Other applications (e.g. Camino) always launch my old email software, which is really annoying. I am debugging lots of websites at the moment, so faulty mailto: link handling is a problem for me.
    I want to set the global mail handler preference, which requires starting Apple Mail (as far as I can tell there is no Pref pane for this - crazy!). I have Mail on the machine, for sure. I have even re-installed it from my Tiger DVD!
    The problem is that whatever method I use to launch it (direct click in Finder, Spotlight search or QuickSilver) the icon bounces in the dock a few times and then disappears. Why is this? What can I do to repair the app and set the global preference? By the way, when I look in the info in Finder, it does say it was opened today, so it looks like the app is loading and instantly quitting.
    Thanks a lot, Apple people.

    Hi again Ernie -
    Thanks for taking the time to think about my issue. At the moment I have about 21gb free, so I doubt that is directly contributing. I started Eudora when offline, and checked all the preference panes. There was an option to set it as the default client, which was unchecked.
    Then I looked in the Library directory- no entry for Eudora, but there was an entry for Thunderbird and another (almost empty) directory listed for Mail.
    Next task was to look into the package of Mail and try to run ot from the command line. I went into Contents / MacOS and ran the Mail.app from there directly. This is the error I got:
    Welcome to Darwin!
    Tunis:~ lewismiller$ /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail; exit
    2006-01-14 14:23:57.185 Mail[911] Unable to load nib file: MailViewer, exiting
    Does this sound like some corrupted prefs that were not repaired by a reinstall of the application? I wouldn't know how to solve that. Anywa, the problem is still persisting, but I think I am about to add my Eudora folder, old email and so on into an archive. Perhaps when it has gone altogether I will get a dialogue asking me how I want to handle mail links?
    Any more thoughts would be appreciated. This is the only thing on this glorious little computer that doesn't work perfectly!

  • Mail cannot launch because it says Home Driectory is full? It is not full!!

    Hi There:
    I have two users on my computer and for some reason I cannot launch my mail program on one of them. Both users are listed as administrators and I have 2 hard drives installed using a firmtek controller card. The first drive where the OS is installed is an 80Bg drive with more than 57Gb available.
    When I launch Mail on the first user ut says:
    Mail cannot update your mailboxes becasue your Home Directory is full. You must free up space. Delete unnecessary files or documents. The thing is I have tons of space. The other user I can launch mail with no problems. I do have multiple mailboxes set up with the mail program that has the issues.
    Please advise
    Thanks

    Hi Cyclops Images.
    Corruption of ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index is known to cause this bogus error message in Mail, even when there is enough space available on disk.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
    4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • Cannot load mail - iCloud

    I receive the above message when logging in to iCloud beta. At first it said my password was incorrect, so I reset it and now when I log in it says 'cannot load mail'
    Also, when trying to retrieve my mail via my iPhone running iOS 5 beta, it says that my password is incorrect, even though I have changed it to the new one
    Any suggestions, or at least info on why this is happening/when it will be fixed?

    Ya...well... It's BEEN launched and a boat load of us can't get mail. All other cloud features work and logging in is NOT the issue. The mail IS! What's it going to take to fix it? More the question is WHEN?
    Super angry and disappointed in Apple. Projects shouldn't be launched until they WORK! Totally regret changing my account to cloud!

  • In system preferences, under extensions, cannot select mail, iMessage, airdrop as extensions to use to share content

    I cannot select mail, messages, or airdrop as an extension to use to share content (i.e.: to share a website), they are greyed out in my share menu, in the Extensions folder of system preferences

    The screenshot shows nothing abnormal.
    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.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • While launching Mail, I clicked on Safari, to check something while Mail got new emails, but now Mail appears on the same screen as Safari. Is there a way I can return it to it's own screen, please?

    While launching Mail, I clicked on Safari, to check something while Mail got new emails, but now Mail appears on the same screen as Safari. Is there a way I can return it to it's own screen, please?
    I haven't changed any prefs, only clicked Safari as mail was being launched.

    Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Error message "cannot get mail" on iPad but mail is there

  • SMTP error, cannot send mail

    I just moved and have begun using RCN internet services. I use mail to access a .Mac account. Now, I can receive mail but not send mail. RCN insists it is a problem with .Mac's DNS and that they are not blocking port 25 nor smtp.mac.com. I can send and receive email from other WiFi hotspots. The error message I receive is this:
    "Cannot send message using the server smtp.mac.com
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail of change your network settings."

    I save my .Mac account Sent and Drafts messages locally on the hard drive, I use Port 587 as the server port for the .Mac authenticated SMTP server and I haven't experienced the same.
    This may be a problem with the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences.
    Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
    Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
    The only exception to this is for a .Mac account if available at System Preferences > .Mac.
    Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information the same as before (if your .Mac account information is re-entered automatically, check the .Mac SMTP Server Port field to confirm 587 is entered in place of 25), the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailboxes at Home > Library > Mail.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered and are available , you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
    I have no need to store Drafts, Sent, Trash or Junk messages on the server in Mail so i store them locally on the hard drive. This is only needed if you access your .Mac account in Mail or with another email client on a another computer to keep the messages/mailboxes for the account synchronized with multiple email clients on different computers.

  • Cannot Send Mail

    I just tried sending a email from my iphone this morning and I get the message "Cannot Send Mail, the sender address was invalid"
    For the past 3 months everything has been fine and mail has been working perfectly. I haven't changed any of the settings at all. However, I did notice this morning that when I logged into my Gmail account online that they've changed they're layout. Seems like quite the coincidence that Google changed their layout and all of a sudden I can't send mail on the phone.
    If anybody else is having this problem, or knows of how to resolve it, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    The user in this thread is having the same issue. I am not having any problems sending mail from my gmail account after the update.

  • We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone.  Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc.  This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

  • TS3276 Cannot send mail from my iPad...."user name and or password is incorrect"......mail can be sent from my iPhone

    Why do I get the message   "Cannot send mail, the user name and or password for my email outgoing server is incorrect"?  I use the same account, etc. on my iPhone and haven't any trouble sending mail.

    If your email requires a password for the SMTP server you can set it up in the settings in the General mail setup. Some i.e Gmail require a password for SMTP.
    Otherwise you will probably get better answers in the iPad forum.
