Latest update to 10.6.4 Leaves Mail with no Viewer Window or Message Window

I just used Software Update to update my Snow Leopard on my Mac Mini. I have the Core2Duo with Intel Graphics.
After the update, I got a message that my accustomed Mail 4.2 would no longer work. I looked up the new Mail 4.3 and found that it will not open a Viewer Window, or a Message Window. Other windows appear but are blank - no lines or text.
Is there a fix for this, and why won't my old Mail 4.2 work any more?

Welcome to the Discussions.
Seems a bit strange. I would suggest first do a permissions repair as a matter of good housekeeping. If that does not solve the problem, then quit mail, go to User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and drag the .plist file to desktop. Boot up mail and see if problem persists. Please report back here as someone might have a better solution than my suggestion. Hope this helps.

    Slow in what respect?  Please be specific.

    Ummmm, could you ellaborate on how you plan to turn to Windows because iTunes (an application that runs on Windows) is running slow?

    I have no idea what that message means; try uninstalling using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html then download and reinstall the latest Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • Yosemite latest update has broken yahoo email from mail.app. Emails won't collect or send. Tried deleting the yahoo account, now I can't re-add it - "an unknown error has occurred"

    Did the latest update to Yosemite last night. All day my mail has played up. Either it won't collect email from IMAP for long periods, or sent emails would just sit in outbox then send them periodically.
    I've now tried deleting and re adding the account. But it won't re add correctly - I either get "an unknown error has occurred" when I try and add it as a "Yahoo" account, and if I try adding it as "other email account" it syncs up around 300 email messages and then won't work.
    Please help, email is a vital cog in my day to day Mac use.
    Thanks

    This worked for me for my Yahoo.

  • With Latest Update, Premiere CC Crashing at 100% Export, with Increased File Sizes

    I'm a bit baffled, and hoping someone can help. With the latest update of Premiere CC, I am having trouble exporting to Vimeo. As a filmmaker and educator in Chicago, I do a lot of exporting to Vimeo, up until now with great success. Over the past few days, not only is Premiere crashing at 100% export, but it seems to be exporting larger files than before (and with fewer Vimeo options, I notice, in Media Encoder). Not only did this happen with a 30-minute class exercise straight out of a Canon camcorder, that inexplicably was being exported at around 3 or 4Gs, but more importantly: I am trying to replace the video file on Vimeo of a feature film of mine, and the EXACT same feature film, at the exact same length (82 minutes), with the exact same export stats, that was 3 GB in all it's past successful exports, is now exporting, inexplicably, as a 9 GB file - it's Vimeo HD 1080 - always is. Nothing has changed at all on my end.
    This is a problem, as I have several items to export to Vimeo in the coming days. What's going on?
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    One other specific change I've noticed in the export settings is that export is now defaulting to H.264 Match Settings - High Bitrate, whereas before it defaulted to whatever settings I had previously used.

  • Mail wont let me open new message window

    Hello,
    So lately I have noticed a bug, I believe, in mail. At random times when I click on the new message icon nothing happens. However, if I close mail completely and reopen it, the new message window shows up. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks for the help

    SUSSED THE NEW MAIL MESSAGE PROBLEM!!!
    I am delighted to say that I resolved this one myself... Its on an IMAC 20", which I had also hooked up to a second display (although not switched on). What happened is that I turned to system Preferences, went to Displays, and changed the settings in the arrangement tab. This I thought would help, as perhaps the New Message window had been created, but was displayed somewhere else I could not see, and Guess what, there they all were! They had been elongated after the update to Leopard, and subsequently, were all sat there on the 'other' display.
    I hope his helps with others with the same problem. (thats also why I did not have the problem on the laptop)
    Good luck to all.

  • Mail can't create a new message window ...?

    Hi,
    Mail.app on my machine has been having a strange issue the past few days. Twice now, it has lost the ability to create a new message editing window.
    If I click the new message button, or select "New Message" from the file menu, or click the "Reply" button on an existing message, etc. but no new message window ever appears. Quitting Mail.app and restarting, all the new message windows suddenly appear and everything is fine again ... until the next time.
    Anyone else ever had Mail.app lose the ability to create new message editing windows like this?
    Machine: Powerbook G4 15" (Oct 2005, 1.67GHz)
    OS: 10.5.8
    Mail: 3.6 (936)
    All software updates applied
    Thanks!

    That worked.  Now, why didn't I think of that!?

    Do you see the Outbox in Mail? Does it contain any messages?

  • Mail app conversation view excludes first message

    I've trying to switch over to Mail from Outlook.  One thing I'm noticing is that in "conversation view" for messages, the orginal message is excluded.  For instance is someone sends me a message with a subject of "Hello!" and then I get a reply the subject is "Re: Hello!"  I realize it's grouping using the subject line but it should probably exclude things like "Re:", "Fw:" and others.  Is there anway to get this to happen?

    Is the box checked in Mail>Preference>Viewing  include related messages.

  • TS1702 After I did the latest update. I went and sync it with the computer. All my information was erased. I did what the instructions said. Now I did the installation on the apps on my phone.

    I did the uptade all my data from my phone was erased. Then they asked me to restore the phone. Then my phone start working. But not 100%. Now would you please tell me what else to do? Since I tried to put all my music, videos and apps back but there is no music or videos are in my computer but won't transfer into my phone. Is in my computer but not on my phone.

    If you are saying that you cannot even open the phone app? Your troubleshooting included powering the phone off and back on? If that is all the troubleshooting that you have done, the next step is to reset the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If that does not fix the problem, then the next step is a restore. Frist from a backup and if necessary restore as new.
