Mail app problem

My wife and I have seperate user accounts on the macbook. When I ran the mail app in her account it asked for some set up info, which we entered based on what was being used in her imac. Didn't do much with it for a day or two and then when I came back to it I was unable to connect to the defined POP server (Connection Doctor window showed POP login failing). After fiddling around a bit with no success I decided to delete the mail account info (via the - button from mail->preferences->acounts) and create a new one. The account info appeared to be deleted then but we got a multicolored spinning wheel that woudl not go away and ultimately had to force quit the mail app. Now when the mail app is launched all we get is the spinning wheel and all we can do is force quit the mail app. I tried to find out how to run the mail setup assistant again but could not find any info on how to run it or where to find it. All I found was info that said it would run the first time mail app was run.
Dose anyone have any pointers or know what I should do to resolve this mail app problem?
Thanks
Craig

There are several threads on this in the forums. Search for "Mail spinning beach ball."
Essentially, there is something wrong with the Mail folder in ~/Library/Mail/. Move the Mail folder to the desktop and restart Mail. It will create a new Mail folder. You can then import anything that was in the old mailboxes.

After iOS 8 update, the mail app crashes on iPhone 4S

I've updated to iOS 8 this afternoon and now the mail app crashes. It will open the first time after a power off and restart of my 4S but after that first time it will crash every single time I try to open it. I can only reopen it after I've done a full reboot of the phone, and then only once. Is there a quick fix or do I get to wait for an update?

I tried all of the suggested solutions mentioned in this thread, and finally did a full reset according to Apple's instructions, step by step (as an engineer and 40 year computer user I am good at that stuff).
Sorry to say after the several hour process, not one of the problems I have experienced have been solved.
IPad 2 is still running slow and choppy.
Some Apps do not even load.
Website pages will not load and result in error messages. One particularly annoying Safari error on loading a new web page is: "a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded".
MY iPad 2 worked perfectly for the last couple of years through several updates that performed seamlessly, but this one and the two most recent corrected updates have rendered my iPad so degraded that I don't think I will be using it much anymore. I originally bought the tablet because of it's smooth GUI and fast performance, the reliability and error free environment, and Apple's proven record for effective updates. That's all gone now.

IPhone 5 (16GB) iOS 7.0.4 Mail App size is 1GB and continuously increasing. How to reduce the size of the Mail App?

Hi,
I am using an iPhone 5 (16GB) iOS 7.0.4.
Currently the size of the mail app is 1GB and is continously increasing, even though the advanced settings in the mail account have been set as following:
MOVE DISCARDED MESSAGES INTO:
Deleted Mailbox
DELETED MESSAGES:
Remove: After one day
INCOMING SETTINGS:
Delete from Server: When removed from Inbox
The problem that I am facing is that only a few emails reside on my iPhone as I keep deleting emails, which are also deleted from the server automatically because of the settings as above, which is perfectly fine. The emails are deleted from the Mail app and only a very few of them are visible which I have not deleted as yet, and all is fine till here. The problem is that the size of the Mail app is more than 1GB and is continously increasing, when i check the size of the Mail app in the Settings > General > Usage section.
When I search for an email that has previously been deleted from the search feature by swiping down in the main page, it still comes up in the search, and upon clicking the searched email, it takes me into the Mail app, however, the mail is not there. I have tried searching for emails which were deleted weeks ago, and they still come up in the search feature, however, they DO NOT open in the Mail app when i click them within the search feature in the main page.
Up until a couple of months ago, the size of the Mail app was about 5.2GB and at this point I had no space on my 16GB iPhone 5, therefore I resetted my phone two months ago, and after a complete reset of the iPhone 5, the size of the Mail app went back to 0.3KB (like it was brand new out-of the box); however, within a matter of two months the size of the Mail app has now exceeded 1GB and is continously increasing, as I receive alot of emails which is why I delete them on daily basis and even delete them from the Trash folder (mailbox).
I have read alot of blogs and even checked with other friends using similar settings on the same model, however, I just cant seem to figure this out. I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this issue as I dont want to have to reset it again after another 2-3 months.
There are practically only 14-15 emails on my Mail app with not alot of KBs for these emails, and the trash folder is also empty, but the size of the Mail app is still not reducing. Please help!!

Shoaib Malik

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

IOS 6 iPhone 4 Mail App Crashes

Hi,
I upgraded my IPhone 4 to iOS 6 a day or so after the iOS 6 release. The mail app worked fine until this morning. Now when I try to launch it shows a white screen for a few seconds and then crashes. Tried all variations of hard reboot, switching phone on/off, closing all applications etc. with no joy.
My wife's iPhone 4 and my iPad 3 ( which use the same E-Mail accounts as are on my iPhone) have not as yet developed similar problems.
I have been updating apps as they become available and as far as I recall have not installed any apps recently which one would expect to impact my E-Mail.
Anyone else with similar problems or preferably suggestions as to how to fix? This is a real pain as when I am travelling I use my iPhone all the time to keep up with my E-mail.

Hi
I was able to solve this:
- Connect your iphone to your mac
- Go to iTunes
- Goto Info
- Select Sync Mail Accoints
- Select Advanced -> Replace information on this iPhone -> Mail Accounts
- Press Sync.

Mail app problems (duplicating email downloads)

in my Mail app, i am having a problem with receiving "duplicate" emails. i will get an email, and after in downloads to Mail, the "spinning circle" (next to the INBOX icon) keeps on spinning...then a duplicate of the email downloads. to stop the "spinning circle". i have to "force quit" Mail.
i have the option with Road Runner to get emails from their "WebMail" website. when i log-in, i see the email that is duplicating in Mail...plus other emails that has not been downloaded in my Mail application.
if i delete the "duplicating email" in RR Webmail, and launch Mail again, the "other emails" that i see in RR WebMail will download.
and if there are other new emails, the whole scenario will go over again in Mail.
i talked to a Road Runner technician and he tried to find a preference in the Mail app that will allow Mail to give a bit more time for Mail to download emails with larger attachments (2mb and up). he said that Mail is not giving enough time to download the larger emails, so it is "bottlenecking" the large email and other emails after that.
Just wondering if anyone knows about this problem, or if anyone knows if there is a preference in Mail to "extend" the download time for larger-sized emails......
thank you....

I am having this same problem. How did you solve it?

Font size bug in iOS 7.0.4 mail app?

Hi,
I experience a strange behaviour with iOS 7 mail app. When I try to read a plaintext mail with the iPhone in portrait orientation the font size is oddly big. I can "zoom" in with a two finger pinch but I cannot zoom out to decrease the font size.
Is this a bug, a setting I activated somewhere, a silly feature?
Thanks for advice,

Yes, the time and date is correct. It just started happening a few days ago and has bene like this since. I cant even open the mail, because theirs no content in them. Nor can i delete it.

Snow Leopard mail.app problem

I just upgraded 2 iMacs at home with Snow leopard and am having a problem with mail.app. I have 13 e-mail accounts on my box, and my wife has 6 e-mail accounts on her Mac. We have never had problems with e-mail before and Leopard and Tiger would go through the POP accounts in order, 4 at a time, until all the mail was downloaded in all the accounts.
What is happening now is that the mail.app is trying to get ALL the mail at once and trying to access all 13 POP accounts on my Mac, and all 6 on my wife's. It will only grab the first 4 POP accounts and show errors for the rest (and take them offline). I get the "*Unable To Receive Mail - There may be a problem with the mail server or network...*" error for the remaining accounts. The only way I can get the rest of the mail is to go through each account, control-left click, and select "Get New Mail from "[email protected]". Needless to say, this is a real pain in the butt as I do get a lot of mail and prefer it to come in properly in the background.
This is happening on both iMacs so it can't be an isolated thing. Anyone know of a fix for this??

I'm having the exact same issue. I've spent hours rebuilding mailboxes, passwords, and keys. I can often go days before the mail will actually be seen in these offline boxes. Apple - we need this fixed!

STRANGE mail.app problems - Help!

A client's mail is severely screwed. here's a (brief) summary:
OS 10.3.9
Client had mail hang & spin while having 3 replies open. Stuck in a loop, tried numerous Disk Warrior, repairs, permissions, etc etc etc... Client's Mail folder in ~/Library/Mail is huge, over 9GB (many mailboxes).
*Oddest thing: THAT mail folder cannot be copied over to external FW Hard drives (tried 2) hangs after 806mb. Got a strange error about "Incoming mail cannot be read or written" - words to that effect. I've never seen such a thing. I can't even backup that mail folder to simply wipe the drive to update to Tiger.
ANY help appreciated!!

Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.
Hope this help someone with the same problem.

Mac Book Pro Mail App problem

I have a 3 month old MacBook Pro that has developed in the last 3 days a strange problem within Mac Mail app. When I send or reply to a email message it shows up in the email thread or sent messages folder as a COMPLETELY different email to an entirely different address. The incorrect messages/addressees that appear are from emails sent several years ago. It appears that my emails are being received normally to the recipients (what I actually sent is received, instead of what is appearing to me as what I sent), but as the thread continues or new messages are exchanged the thread is meaningless and garbled.
Running Mountain Lion
I've tested sending email through both my Comcast server and iCloud. Same problem either way. Virus, malware........?? THanks for any suggestions

Hi kezart,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Try rebuilding the mailboxes and see if that helps:

HELP FOR SOME MAIL app PROBLEMS IN MAVERICKS!

As many of you, I was having great difficulty opening Apple's Mail app in Mavericks. The type of problem I was having is this:
When trying to open Mail for the first time in Mavericks, I would get the message that the database needed to be upgraded; the process would start, but Mail would become unresponsive. The progress bar stopped in the middle and only a forced quit could close the application.
I noticed the following:
The actual files and folders in User/Library/Mail/V2, remained unchanged from the time before my attempt to open Mail, and for me no other changes were made.
I took the opportunity to move a copy of the V2 Folder to my Desktop for safekeeping. Trying to open Mail without this folder just caused the app to ask me to designate my accounts anew, which I had no intention of doing.
I then tried adding back items into the empty V2 folder. Adding back all of the mail accounts and mailboxes except for the Mail Data folder had no effect, except that a new Mail Data folder was created, and the Mail app still asked me to designate my accounts anew.
I then added back the first half of my old Mail Data folder contents and allowed the copy process to overwrite the files in the newMail Data folder; there was still a problem.
Finally, I took the remaining files and one folder from my old Mail Data folder and added that to the new Mail Data folder. When I was asked to relpace matching folders and files I did that and whatever was left untouched by the file copy, I let stay there.
The Yellow taged files were the first half I transferred back.
As long as you have a protected copy of your Mail folder, you can try variations of the above. This is what worked for me, and I hope it is helpful to some or all of you.

Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.

Built-in mail app problems...

I have an iPhone 3G. And I'm having problems with my mail. The built-in mail app kept deleting all of my e-mails all at once without even giving me any notices or stuff like that, and it does so every few days?! I've only used up 4.3 GB and there's still 20-ish GB left so I don't think that's the problem. Please help as soon as possible as I sometimes need to show my clients some of my documents but often times its not there anymore... Thank you!

Unfortunately, it's not a connection problem with the gmail server as other third party's apps succeed to send mails via gmail very quickly. Note also that I've also tried to delete that account and then re-create it but this didn't solve the problem.
Sincerely!
Atar.

Mail.app problems with Exchange Server

Hi,
I've got a Mail.app 4.2 version and a company Exchange 2007 e-mail address account.
Recently, I've changed from Entourage for Mail.app since, we couldn't configure the new account to Entourage anymore. This is because we've changed Exchange Service Provider.
I've changed to Mail.app without problems a few months ago. But, recently, since 3 weeks ago, I receive my e-mails just fine, iCal and Address Book keep all sync. Everything is fine except when I delete an e-mail from my Exchange Account or even drag them to another folder, it doesn't work. It remains always at the Inbox Exchange Account.
I guess it started to do this after a software upgrade from Apple.
Anyone has a solution for this? I tried to rebuild the Mailbox and Delete and Create the account again, but doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.

Mail App problem with iCloud

For almost a month ago I have run into a problem where the Mail App on my iMac (Intel) with Mac OS X Lion shows a pop-up window that it cannot connect to iCloud. It prompts for my password and if I enter it, some times it immediately pops up again, or it can take a couple of minutes. Some times it just works for a few days.
This is very annoying and it has cause problems that I've not been able to send important e-mails.
Anyone experienced this?
Anyone have a solution?
Sincerely,
Andreas
