I've problems loading Mail.

I've problems loading Mail.  Until now its been stable.  After watching the frustrating spinning rainbow for minutes it tells me there is an issue loading mail and to quit or quit with an index rebuild...neither works or fixes my problem. I have Lion installed and use Gmail. Thx!

hmm, sorry no help for you - just a problem of my own - maybe someone can help both of us ??
On my macbook pro, running 10.6.8, I use mac mail to access my yahoo mail account. Suddenly, no new mail is coming in, though my dock mail icon has a big 42 on it, indicating the new messages that should be there. But there's no new mail in my inbox. And my "Mail Connections Doctor" says "trying to log in to this SMPT account failed. Verify that user name and password are correct." Anyone got any ideas. (I've contacted Yahoo to see if their new mail system requires any changes in account information/port, etc, but no response yet. Their help section is absolutely no help at all on setting up an account in another mail program to access mail.

  • Mail Problems: Loading and Quitting

    This might turn out to be a long discription, but bear with me...
    I had problems with Mail today--I had just received an iTunes receipt and Mail crashed; it appeared as if the program got stuck loading the new message. When I reopened Mail, none of my messages were loading and it appeared as if I had nothing in my Inbox or any of my other folders. I found on an Apple Discussion post that I should try shutting off the Internet and holding the Shift key down while opening Mail. This worked, so I continued on with the instructions in the threat, which told me to put my Envelope Index and a copy of the Mail folder on the desktop. This prompted me to reopen Mail; Mail then reloaded all my messages and sort of "started over" if you will.
    At first, this process appeared to have fixed the problem, but I tried quitting Mail, and now Mail won't quit. The window disappears, but the arrow still points toward the icon in the dock, indicating that the program is still open. When I click on the Icon, the top Menu bar changes to Mail, and Mail is highlighted blue. I am forced to "Force Quit" and reopen. Sometimes, after I do this, I have the same problem where the messages won't load and it appears as if I have no mail in my Inbox or other folders.
    I've repaired permissions and cleaned my Mac using Onyx. What now? I can't lose all my messages in my Mail program--I have tons saved!
    Thanks!

    Hello Jessica.
    This might turn out to be a long discription, but
    bear with me...
    I love detailed descriptions...
    It could be that the crash caused some filesystem corruption, so you should start by verifying/repairing your disk, as described in this article (note that it's not repairing permissions what I'm talking about here):
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    If the problem persists after having fixed all filesystem issues, it could be that the Mail preferences file itself became corrupted and Mail chokes on it when trying to save changes, so you may want to try this (skip step 2 if you already have a backup copy of the Mail folder on the Desktop):
    1. Make sure Mail is not running.
    2. Make a backup copy of the HOME/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Preferences/. Locate the file com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
    You'll have to set up your accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in HOME/Library/Mail/ when done.
    You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. The first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable "Display remote images in HTML messages" if it's enabled.

    "I managed to solve the problem. Under smtp settings (mail preferences/accounts/edit smtp) I set the outgoing port to 25 (as recommended by Talktalk), no authentication (set to none) and unchecked SSL. I found that until I set the port to 25 and authentication to none I was unable to uncheck SSL. One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
    Superb advice R&W!  My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1).  Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me.  Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
    Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

  • ICloud on an iMac is unable to load mail. Message " Can't load mail. There was a problem loading the application. )

    I can not access my mail on my desktop. The problem is persistant and the only message I get is " Can't load mail. There was a problem loading the application. )

  • Can't Load Mail - There was a problem loading the application

    I can't access mail on iCloud after signing, and get this error message:
    Can't Load Mail
    There was a problem loading the application
    I can see that there are five emails waiting for me.
    Any thoughts on what's going wrong, please?

    Open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Mail then reselect it.
    Then try accessing your mail.
    It may take a minute or two for iCloud to re sync the data.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Is the credit card registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
    Each time that you add or change your card details then a temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid (though that is usually $1 or the approximate local equivalent) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    Did your daughter owe any amounts to iTunes ? Does anything show on your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If they are proper charges which you don't think that you should have then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Cannot directly open the browser from the icon. "problem loading webpage" and "timed out" are the messages. Access was accomplished by using yahoo messenger and opening my email. if I attempt to open a new page, I recieve the aforementioned warnings.

    no link to open access to the internet. I used Yahoo Messenger, clicked on the 'mail icon' and since Firefox is my default it opened and I was able to continue from there. If I try to click File, open New Page, I get the "problem loading webpage" and "connection timed out" messages

    changed my homepage to Yahoo. Now Firrefox works but still cannot access ANYTHING 'Google"!

  • Problem loading page for certain websites since upgrading to FF 29

    Since upgrading to Firefox 29, when I click on a link in my e-mail I will get a "problem loading page" tab with a server not found error message. This happens mainly when I get e-mails from BookBub.com and click on the link to go to Amazon to purchase books. I also get e-mails from BookSends that have Amazon links and when I click the links in the BookSends e-mails those work with no problems. However, the issue is not only with the BookBub e-mails. There are random links in other e-mails that will not work (Harbor Freight is another one that I've been trying to click an unsubscribe link in their e-mail and it will not work).
    I have tried clearing my cache, checked the firewall to make sure Firefox is allowed to access the web, checked the computer for malware but nothing has worked. Please help! This is very frustrating. Thanks!

    Please note that you have extensions installed that could be conflicting.
    *Trend Micro extensions and Norton extensions can be problematic.
    Can you disable those? Note that you do NOT need these to keep active virus protection. Norton is installed on your computer and is working system-wide.
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Anyone else have this problem with mail on 4s ?

    Whenever I load mail app , my mail would say downloading on the bottom.. it would try to download 150 emails.. than it says downloading 300 emails . Anyone else ahve this problem ? This just started with IOS 7  and I have no clue how to fix this . My phone has very little remaining storage so the mail app is unable to download all of the emails causing my mail app to crash . I can't even use other apps at that point, every thing is crashing.
    And if I free up more space, the mail app just eats up that too!! How do I get the mail app to stop downloading so many emails when I open it ?

    It depends on what type of email account you are using. I am using outlook and when I enter settings, mail contacts and calendars, select on the account (outlook ), it give me the option for mail days to sink. I am not sure about any other accounts and how they work. Good luck

  • Can't down load mail using mail app

    Can't down load mail using mail app OS, I already delete the com.apple.mail.plist but didn't work, it can connect to the server and in the progress bar, it appear: incoming messages ex. 39 of 39 but 0kb of transmission. And if I go to the Account info window, I can see the messages on the server, as well as the subject, date received, and the size of them. So, the mail, does connect to the server and see the new mail, but just doesn't download them. I also tried delete the mailbox and create a new one, but the same result.
    If I use web mail I can see the mails.
    Any clue to fix it.

    Hi BA,
    That's a lot of different problems; you might get a better response by dividing the specific problems into the specific forums that they are related to. This forum is only for iTunes.
    Regarding your title problem (not being able to view your account information in iTunes), can you give more details? What happens when you click on the account e-mail in the upper right corner of the iTunes Music Store? Are you able to sign in?
