"Loading" problem viewing older mail after upgrading to Lion in mail.app

I have a client who just bought a new MBA. Previously he was running Leopard on an aluminum MBP. To upgrade his mail for the new machine, I copied the user/Library/Mail folder to the same place on the new machine. (Why did they make the user library folder invisible?) I then opened Mail, he set up his account, and Lion Mail proceeded to update and open up. However, he cannot view many of his emails. Mail reports in the view pane that it is "loading" and never fully loads that mail. What is the cure for this?
I do know that if you use the Import Mailboxes function, those mails are viewable but then there is the issue of having all of his old mail (and there is a lot of it) in an Import subfolder. (I know these can be moved to like-named folders in the current mailbox but what a PITA.
Also- is there a way to completely disable the "conversations" feature?
Thanks.

Hi. I don't really did anything. As stated, I restarted and rebooted a few times and it started to work fine. Not sure what caused it or solved it other than that...
sorry that I can't be of more help, hope you'll get it sorted too.

Has anyone else had similar problems since the upgrade? and is there going to be a fix for it.

  • Problems with extrenal drive after upgrade to Lion

    Hello,
    after upgrading to Lion last week I am experiencing some problems with my LaCie 1 TB FireWire (800) external drive.
    The problem is not that big however. When I delete files on the external drive they do not appear in the Trash Bin.
    However when I unmount and again mount the partitions using the Disk Utility the deleted files do appear in the
    Trash Bin. The external drive has 3 partitions: 2 X Mac OS X Journaled and one FAT. The above described problem
    appers on all partitions. I performed repair and verify to all partitions but Disk Utility says that everything is OK! Any idea ?
    P.S. With Snow Leopard I have never experienced such problem.
    Thank you!

    DiskWarrior is on
    Step 5: Locating directory date...
    Speed reduced by disk malfunction: 339,474, er make that 340,239, er make that 341,327....
    should I stop it or keep going??!!!!

  • Problems with address book after upgrading to Lion.

    I have lost all my contacts and if I try to add a new contact it's gone after I close and reopen the address book.
    Same thing if I import for example my gmail contacts.
    But there is more. If I add a new group I can't edit the new, so it's stuck as 'untitled group' (and gone if I quit the address book and reopen it).
    ..and If I add a new contact I can't edit it once it's added. I simply don't have the edit button.
    Someone having the same trouble? Or any suggestions how to solve it?
    Thanks!
    (So this is after upgrading to Lion and with the new address book 6.0)

    I'm a super loyal Apple customer for over 20 years. But I have to say, even though Apple has unparalleled  customer service, their responsiveness to software issues is non-existent.
    I had a problem with iMovie a couple of years back that involved 40 hours of hard work for a client, only to have all my work lost due to a software bug. Many, many others had the same issue. Apple never acknowledged the issue. I doubt that they will acknowledge this issue.
    That's shameful.
    I email to various groups, including a local residential group to which I add or subtract residents that move in and out of the neighborhood. AddressBook is now totally useless because I can't a new resident to the existing group! AddressBook 6 has been out how many months now? Not a peep from Apple with this issue!

  • Anyone had problems syncing iPod Classic after upgrading to Lion?

    I upgraded to Lion over the weekend and eventually got all the associated software updates finalised last night.  I tried to sync my iPod, but couldn't.  So I reset factory settings, which usually works a trick if there's a problem.  That worked - it's now empty.  I then set about trying to reload it.  No joy.  Over the last seven hours, I've had several, conflicting, failure messages, the last being Error 13010.  I can't find that error message anywhere.  I'm getting a bit upset, and less and less competent.  Anyone got any bright ideas?

    Perhaps this older thread can help regarding the 13010 error.

  • Problem with listing directory after upgrade to Lion

    Hi all,
    I have a script that I used for months that "suddenly" stopped working after i switched to OSX Lion
    #target illustrator
    var listFolder = Folder.selectDialog( "Select a folder", "~" );
    alert(listFolder);
    if ( listFolder != null )
      var folders = new Array();
      var files = new Array();
      var folderCount = 0;
      var fileCount = 0;
      var fList = listFolder.getFiles();
      for ( i = 0; i < fList.length; i++ )
       theFile = fList[i];
       if ( fList[i] instanceof File )
         files.push( fList[i] );
         fileCount++;
    else {
         folders.push( fList[i] );
         folderCount++;
    // Create a file that lists the folders and files
      var reportFile = new File(listFolder + "/Filelist.txt");
      reportFile.open("write");
      reportFile.writeln("Folders:");
      for (i = 0; i < folderCount; i++)
    reportFile.writeln("\t" + folders[i]);
    reportFile.writeln("Files:");
      for (i = 0; i < fileCount; i++)
       reportFile.writeln("\t" + files[i]);
      reportFile.close();
      alert("Folders: " + folderCount + "\n  Files: " + fileCount);
    first alert returns file:///Volumes/e/TEST
    second alert returns 0 even tho there is plenty of files/folders in the TEST folder
    same script run from PS or ID works fine but the path returned looks like this:
    ~/Volumes/e/TEST
    and second alert returns correct counts of files and folders.
    What happened to my Illustrator?
    Thanks in advance.
    Matt

    Matt, I saw your post over at PS Scripts… I did not respond as I don't have Lion… Personally don't upgrade until last version of OS's… I would suspect the in-built getFiles() function… Although I have no idea why Illustrator would only be effected… Have you tried passing a filter argument? Does it make any difference… eg:
    getFiles('*.pdf');
    I saw that you wanted the PDF files… I doubt this is going to change anything thou.

  • I can't hear sound after upgrading to lion

    I have this little annoying problem with my iMac after upgrading to Lion OSX. After waking up my iMac I can't hear any sound from internal speakers, ie: only video on Youtube, but no sound, but whilst pressing volume up/down button I can hear beep. When it happens So I have to restart system everytime it happens. Anyone any ideas or maybe someone out there has the same problem?

    I'he double checked everything, only 1 output device (internal speakers). As I said before, it is weird because I can play iTunes and can hear "beep", but neither youtube sound, nor game sound or internet radio seems to be working, no sound whatsoever. But this time system didn't go to sleep, it has just happened suddenly.... Restart again then!

  • Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3.

    Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3 on my 27" iMac.
    When searching in Apple Mail, sometimes a get a few results (with many missing), and sometimes no results at all.
    I had absolutely no problems before with Snow Loepard.
    I have reindexed mail and my startup drive. I have followed discussions regarding this matter and tried everything - a waste of time.
    This is VERY serious for me - I have many thousands of messages that I archive and need to reference for work and clients, and now I cannot find them.

I have Windows XP Service Pack 3, I am having the same issues whether I use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. My HP Pavilion Desktop has 504 MB of Ram and I am using high speed internet connection. Because it was crashing so much, I used the uninstall program for Flash player to uninstall Flash, I checked my registry and removed anything I saw that was Flash. I then uninstalled Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, then I reinstalled the most recent versions from their websites. I did the same for FlashPlayer and Shockwave Flash. I went to the Adobe website and had them check to see if it was working and it shows I have FlashPlayer 10.3.181.36. The page that shows  which version of flash player goes with Windows XP states that I should have 10.3.181.34 (This is what I thought I had before I updated, I was having the same problems). When I went into my computer to see what version I have, it shows 11.5.9.620 Activex and both Flash Player and Flash Player Object is listed as 10.3.181.34. My firewall for Windows is set to medium. I also am running Norton Internet Security. It takes anywhere from 3-6minutes for some of my games to load, and I have to refresh at least 3-4 times in order to play. When I do start to play it freezes frequently and I use escape to free it up. This has been going on for a month. I have no idea what to do. I am not very computer savy and I have been learning as I go.

    RSS feeds no longer appear in Mail in Mountain Lion (nor in Safari). You'll need a separate RSS application.

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

  • Problem with colors after upgrading to Lion

    After upgrading to Lion, I could no longer distinguish between very light greys (e.g., #f8f8f8) and white (#ffffff) on my laptop monitor. The difference is readily apparent on many websites.
    If I plug my laptop into an external monitor, the problem goes away, and stays away even AFTER unplugging it.
    Neither recalibrating the color profile nor rebooting have any effect.
    Any ideas?

    iPhoto is not part of Lion. It comes with a Mac. So, the version you own is the one that came with your Mac. If you want the newest version, you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
