Lion mail not upgrading

how do i help Lion along to finish upgrading my mail - I left it run all night and it appears to "think" its upgrading but doesn't look like it is making any progress - I have 110GB of harddrive when i started installing Lion...

okay - I force quit Mail - restarted the computer - clicked on mail - declined the save windows option - and it ran through like a hot knife through butter - All is happy and merry in the land again!

Mail not upgraded?

Hello,
I upgraded for Leopard to Lion and everything works ok but i'v enoticed that Mac Mail seems to have not 'upgraded' for example i can't access the mail formatting - it simply ins't there.
Any ideas?

what does the logfiles in server admin say?
It shows what version you're running and if it blocks some mail.
Alot of spam do still get thru, cause the spammers got smart so they disguise their spam good nowdays!

Just upgraded to Lion Mail Not working

Right after upgrade on my Imac 24 And Macbook Pro.
Mail upon launch crashes and when I try to restart I get prompt to
"Restore Windows"
Either choice "Restore Windows" Or "Don't Restore Windows"
gives the same result on both computers.
I tried moving the Smailmailbox.plist and Smailmailbox.plist.backup out of the MAil Data Folder
Still no luck
Any other suggestions?

It's the lion's wifi it's vary sensitive to the signal! you need a version R router bought a Time capsul it's an R.Move your router away from any metel and see if it helps. I just got a 27' imac i7 2TB/SSD my Toshiba i7 worked fine on my old router in a metel shelf unit not this mac! So I bought the Time Capsule $300.00 ouch! my Mac/lion is blazzing fast know and so is my Toshiba i7 windows.The $100. routers in the stores are most likly version R as well but the TC runs 2.4 or 5 GHz at the same time or fix it eather alone. Plus a 2TB back up drive! Now this is not the only problems your going to have with the new OS lion system it went away from Roseta so older softwair dosent work and your chaseing the net for drivers!!!!

Lion Mail not fully loading

Just bought a mini yesterday. I connected my Time Machine backup drive (from my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard) and it installed my user no problem. Better in fact than earlier migration assistant tasks. Bookmarks, passwords all there, docs etc. I opened OSX Mail in Lion. It went through the process of updating my inbox, all 30k messages but I can't for the life of me find the Inbox window. I check preferences and all my email accounts are there. I can get my messages I just can't see them. I can compose a email but how do I get Mail to show my IN/Out boxes...help! I tried Window>Message Viewer...no go. All mailboxes online and it says I have new Mail! HELP!

Quick note, when I hit the Expose window and it displays all my open windows there isn't one for Mail so That tells me Mail isn't fully loading.

Mountain Lion Mail not syncing with iCloud

I have a gmail, yahoo mail, microsoft exchange, and apple email account. I can get all of them to sync on my iPhone, iPad, and iMac. However, for some reason only the Apple email shows up on iCloud. I deleted my account and signed out of iCloud on the iMac to hopefully restart but the iCloud mail on Safari is not syncing at all. If someone has a solution to this problem that would be awesome. Thank you.

Mine too is not syncing.
In fact it has become un-usable !!!!!
- When I delete emails from my exchange account, they are initially deleted but then are restored ?
- emails which contain invites to appointments, are not imported to Calendar
- drafts, which I save are not saved.
It is a complete pain, and is resulting in my having to look for another email client.
PLEASE APPLE SORT THIS OUT !!!!

Lion Mail not showing message content in thread

I seem to be getting random problems with mail threads in Mail on LION 10.7
When viewing the thread, organized by conversation, on the far right I get the related messages OK - great.
In some cases I can see all the content of the messages and in others I can only see the headers and none of the message content - seems to be random on different message threads - some work and some dont.
Is this a problem others have experienced?
Thanks, Chris.

Do you use IMAP or POP to access your e-mail provider? Or eventually IMAP for one e-mail account and POP for a different one like e.g. hotmail?
POP always download the whole message to your computer. IMAP (depending on your settings and mail provider's settings) eventually only the header or a portion of the e-mail.
If you use IMAP, eventually check the account settings in Mail according to the picture below (the "Keep Copies" one) to have the complete e-mail on your system.

Mountain Lion Mail not showing content

Hi,
Just recently my mail has stopped showing any content in any messages on both of my mail accounts.
It started when I was opening a payslip, which is a password protected PDF attachment.
Does anyone know of a possible solution?
Thanks

Hi there... I am also having the same issue.
And after the other emails don't open properly. Sometimes the content disappears.
I tried to REBUILD the mail account and nothing changed.
What is going on? Hasn't APPLE shed any light on this yet?
Thanks,
Charles

How to recover lost local 'On My Mac' folders after Mail 6 upgrade?

The Moultain Lion Mail 6 upgrade has dropped all my local 'On My Mac' archive folders.
Any ideas how to get these back?
Best,
Keith..

Nice idea but one of the 'value-adds' of my Mountain Lion 'upgrade' was it broke my Time Machine backups' integrity and forced a fresh backup.
Time machine is good when trying to recover from small
incremental changes or the accidental trashing of work
data, but should really not be relied upon for any major
system changes such as an OS upgrade.
I personally don't use it at all. For data and entire home folder
for that matter, I have a backup drive and for the system itself
I do periodic clones. Actually, since I rely on coputers for work,
I also do daily backups of projects I work on.
Some one asked me once how many backups should I have.
My answer was, "Always one more than what you have."

Lion Mail : activity sidebar always blank

I have a problem with Lion Mail not showing any network activity at the bottom of the left sidebar. It always stays blank like there is nothing going on.
But the Activity Window (alt+cmd+0) shows all the activity going on just like it should. I would like to keep the Activity window closed and only use the sidebar to get visual feedback of what's going on.
How can I fix this? Thank you!

I must also mention that this happens at work with only one Exchange account being used in Mail. At home, the Activity box show all network activity just fine (Gmail, Yahoo mail, and my ISP pop mail account).
Does Exchange accounts have anything to do with this?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and note need about five minutes to start.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and Note need about five minutes to start.
After starting, Mail answers are very very slow. The same for Note. Instead of, sending mails is only a bit slower than before upgrading.
In Safari, I choose Goggle as starting page in Preferences, but at every restart misses that starting page and the search strip says "Seek Google or instert an address".

Well, I found the solution here in another thread.
i just want to mention that the samw thing was happening also for the notes and the reminders apps!! (they quit unexpectedly!!).
So I found the solution here.
Thank you graphicsluc!!!

How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion? I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8)

How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion? I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now. Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.

Mail Not Sending, No Advice Working, Lion Mail Settings Mixed Messages

I've tried all the advice I've seen on this issue. One thing that applies to me that I don't see mentioned elsewhere, is that while all the servers show Offline in Mail/Preferences, if I go to the Mailbox dropdown, it will show Take Accounts Online as inactive, and Take Accounts Offline as active. So since upgrading to Lion, it has a mixed message within itself. This *must* be part of the problem??? Will others please check this and report if they show the same inconsistency, so Apple will see there is a glitch in their software?
Then, when I try to change ports or anything in Mail/Preferences, I get this message:
"The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again."
But *no alert icons show* next to any servers in the list, and no servers are sharing the same address and authentication settings. Well I have three gmail accounts, so I have three servers, one for each one, that share the gmail smtp (address?) and settings, but don't share the same email address. Which address does this message think is being shared, the accounts' email addresses or the smtp address? I've always used separate server settings for each gmail account because you have to enter different passwords. This should not be an issue.
I've have tried every which way to solve this. It's clear to me that it's Lion related, *not* my email host server.
Have five days of emails in my Outbox and have spent a couple hours trying to resolve and getting desperate for a solution. No Mac store near me :-(

I now discovered that after the last procedure, when I look at Mailbox > Online Status > the settings for the two working accounts appropriately show Online and the one for the non-working account appropriately shows Offline. But asking it to go Online doesn't work. Also, whereas before, even though the two accounts showed Offline in Preferences, you'd go to the Mailbox menu and the only option at the top was to Take All Accounts Offline (when they already were in Preferences). Now I have the Preference list accurate as to what is on and off and there is an option in the Mail dropdown for taking all On or Off. So I just have one more glitch to resolve on the remaining account that won't send out. Clear as mud? Does anyone care lol!
