I have trouble starting up Mail in my iMac

Opening Mail, I receive this pop:  Mail quit unexpectedly.
Process: Mail[824]
Path: /Application/mail.apps/contents/Mac05/Mail
Identifier:  com.apple.mail
Version:  S.3 (1203)
Please advice...  Thanks.

Because I don't have Lion I can only do a little research on your behalf.   I do think Mail will have to be reinstalled and I would also suggest you should upgrade to Mavericks if your machine will take it.   It is a free ride for you.     Oh, and update your profile when you have a moment.

  • We use Embarqmail from CenturyLink on our home computer.  We can get to our email on our iPod, but we have trouble opening the mail.   When we tap on an email, sometimes they open; most often they don't.  Is there a solution?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Hello, I have trouble with apple Mail 7 in Maverick.

    Hello! I have trouble with Apple Mail 7 in Maverick. I use account type = Exchange. The proble m is that I keep loosing email in my inbox and also in my sent box. They then have to be rebuilt, and because I have lots of emails in the server, it takes several days to rebuild. This never happened in the previous version of apple mail that I used (snow leopard). Any suggestions to fix this problem? Thanks

  • Mac have trouble starting up.

    Hello!
    For some reason, my mac have trouble starting up. I've tried using the apple guide about how to fix the issue/ perform a safe booth but it doesn't work.
    SYMPTOMS:
    1. when turned on: the screen displays an apple screen with a loading continueous circle and stays there FOREVER.
    after turning on and off for several times, it finally works. However, most of the time when it works/actually starts up, it cannot be connected the internet.
    2. The mac also have trouble with the itune as I cannot sync any device to it and froze.
    3.  I cannot update my mac. It suggested that in order to update, the mac must be restart so the installation can take place but when its starting
    installing the update, the message then appear and says " an error occured durin installation" then it restarts and the process of trouble starting up repeats (back to 1.).
    ** Incidence before this happens**
    A few days before it happened, there was a power shut down at my house, thus the mac was turned off incorrectly. so I have to turn on the mac again before it was turned off again by the power shut down.  IT HAPPENED 3 TIMEs
    Since then the Mac was slow and starting to become less responsive. Then the trouble starting up occurs.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
    Thank you very much

    I am have trouble with 2 new 21.5" iMacs losing wifi connection from my network. I have 4 other vintage iMacs that never lose connection. Please help.

    This subject has been talked/written about a lot, after Lion was introduced. A solution from Apple has not yet been published, everybody is waiting.
    Try for instance https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3734081?start=15&tstart=0, but there are more discussion groups with the same subject: frequently lost WiFi-connections in newer Macs running Lion or up.

  • TS1627 I had my hard drive replaced within the last month.  Now I have trouble with the MAIL function.  Sometimes it is open in the menu on top, but does not bring up mail.  Then it grays out the QUIT MAIL function and I am stuck.

    I have problems closing my MAIL.  The function of Quit is grayed out.  I cannot turn off the computer because it says mail still open.  I have had this problem off and on ever since getting a new hard drive and reloading all the functions.  The only way I can clear it is to hold the power button down till it shuts off the computer, and then restart it.

  • Since upgrading to Maverick I have trouble getting incoming mail?

    Ever since I upgraded to Maverick my mail has not worked consistently.  It has been 2 days since I've been able to get any incoming Mail.   It seems to deliver when it wants and it's on strike now.   Thank goodness my iphone email works.   I've been to the genius bar w/o resolution (they thought it was due to gmail account which we deleted and not eliminate the problem).  I can send but can't receive.  It is a POP email acount.  I've read other posts - shutting down the computer does not help.  Any suggestions?  I am fully updated.  I have a iMac intel, OS X 10.9.3.  Mail 7.3.  Thanks!!

    Hi,
    Thank you for taking an interest in my problem.
    What actually transpired was my Macpro (contacts) would not update after I put changes in to contacts in either iphone or ipad. Apple checked and discovered that changes made in either macPro (contacts) and contacts(cloud.com) did not talk to each other so concentrated on this.
    The rep had me signout of my macpro user account, and create a temp new user to which I signed into my icloud account as normal. Then, changes in either macpro or cloud.com now worked. He then did some changes at his end and after exiting the temp user and resigning in as origal macpro user this now made changes to each other. OK. We then deleted the temp user and this worked! but since then I have discovered that iphone and ipad now do not change icloud.com contacts or calendar so would not of course change contacts on macpro!
    Other services on icloud (photo stream, mail, docs and data, find my ----, etc) all function with my iphone (so have to presume my ipad also, but this is not with me at this time)  so the problem is confined to just contacts and calendar.
    In summary, I do have only one icloud address but which appears to have two sets of data as the devices will communicate with something but not altogether!!
    I am thoroughly confused, especially as it was all fine until I upgraded from M\Lion to Mavericks on my shiny new macpro a few weeks ago. I  had moved from Windows to Apple to avoid just such problems.
    Not enamoured with Apple at the moment, but thank you for your assistance - hope this is a better explanation.
    Kind Regards

  • TS3276 I have troubles receiving E-Mails on my Mobile Me account.

    All the E-Mails appear right on I-Phone and I-pad. They are readable and have their attachements.
    Other on my I-Mac: In the list I see, that I received a Mail, but when I try to open it, it is empty. This happenens to about 20% of my mails.
    I have been using this I-Mac (Lion) since 2 years and it happened never before. I did not change the settings.
    My 'solution': I receive the Mail on the Ipad, advance it to the I-Mac and suddenly I can work with it there.
    Ok, but this is no solution for the long run.

    Have you contacted your email provider and asked if for some reason that sender or domain has been blacklisted?

  • Anyone Ever Have Trouble Starting Up MySQL?

    I downloaded Mac OS X 10.5 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive from dev.mysql.com and having a bit of a problem. When I click on the button, StartMySQLServer, and enter my password, all I get is the spinning rainbow wheel. I tried several times, but it's not working.
    It comes up:
    Error
    Could not startup MySQL server
    Reason 255
    Is there any chance that the version I downloaded, and/or its specific mirror was faulty? Double checked my comp display, and it's 32 bit. Could that be it?
    Thank you.

    OK, that makes sense. Couple more questions:
    Did you install the MySQL startup item from the disk image you downloaded?
    Please post the results of this Terminal command:
    ls -l /usr/local/mysql/
    I'm most interested in the ownership of the "data" directory:
    drwxr-x--- 25 _mysql wheel 850 Feb 2 19:08 data
    Also, you should have at least one error log in MySQL's data directory:
    sudo ls -lt /usr/local/mysql/data/ | grep err
    Use tail on the most recent (the top one in the results of the previous command if there are more than one):
    sudo tail /usr/local/mysql/data/errorlogname.local.err
    I get this on my computer:
    100202 19:07:41 InnoDB: Starting shutdown...

  • I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

    I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

    There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
    Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
    Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads.

    Since installing IOS 7.03, I have trouble sending messages now.
    Starts sending but never completes.
    Anyone have any solutions?

    Addendum
    Sending straight from the mail client in any/all of the Yahoo accounts works just fine. The bug just seems to happen when sending links from Safari.

  • How do I add a desktop link to gmail?  I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link to two other email accounts.

    How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts?  I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

    Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

  • I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account. I can still send e-mail messages, though. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my account. I have changed my password, but wonder how to start receiving mail again?

    I can no longer receive e-mail messages through my @mac/@me account, though I still seem to be able to send messages. I believe there may have been recent attempts to hack into my Mail account (my LinkedIn and Facebook accounts were both hacked three days ago and a scam/phishing message sent to my contacts, and I know there was at least an attempt made to hack into one of my e-mail accounts). I have already changed my Apple password, but how do I start receiving mail again?
    (And I should also say that I'm a little surprised there was no alert from Apple of suspicious activity on my account, if such was the case. Instead, when I logged into my account via Mobile Me three days ago I noticed that all messages in my inbox were gone as well as all of my contacts. I assume this was related to the current problem.)
    Thanks for all responses.

    The problem has been solved with the help of a MobileMe online counsellor. My MobileMe account had in fact been hacked into and the fraudster had been redirecting my e-mail messages to a phony account that he controlled. We took the forward off and reset all my passwords and security questions, which solved the immediate problem.
    Thx.
