Lost all settings for Mail, setting up new account causes Mail to crash

Not sure if this problem is related to a recent archive and install or the recent 10.4.8 update, but a user's email on my G5 apparently lost all her mail, settings, etc. When Mail was clicked on, a series of new account windows appeared, which I filled out with the relevant info, but when i clicked Done, I get the prompt: A keychain cannot be found to store "user's name." It gives me the option to set to default or cancel. When I click on cancel, a summary of all the relevant info appears in a window, but when I attempt to open Mail it always crashes. Not sure where to go from here?
We have another computer (G3) running 10.3.9 with her Mail app working. Is there any way to transfer or import her Mail app to this computer?

Nol longer relevant since updating to Leopard.

  • Lost all Outlook e-mail after crash and reset to factory. How to restore e-mail?

    Firefox crashed and offered to reset my computer keeping my current tabs. I didn't think it would erase all of my Outlook inbox e-mail and all the e-mail stored in my folders. I tried Outlook recovery, but could not get it back. Is all lost forever?

    Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
    Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
    If you are using a proxy, make sure those settings are correct. If there is no
    proxy, first use '''No Proxy.''' If there is a problem, then try '''System Proxy.'''
    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
    to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
    updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

  • Exporting all settings for Outlook Desktop so that they can be imported into Outlook

    Hi there,
    I was wondering whether all settings for Outlook Desktop can be exported so that they can be imported into Outlook i.e. .psts, .osts, .pabs, .oabs, .dats, .xmls, .nk2s, .rwzs, .rtfs, .txts, .htms, .dics, .ofts, .srss and .msgs. My Managing Director's Wife is
    unsubscribing from Office 365 in order to use Office Professional 2013 I presume or 2010 perhaps. Your help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    RocknRollTim
    P.S. I was redirected by a user off the Office 365 Community Forum.

    Hi,
    As per the information and details provided by you, in Outlook, there is not any way to backup Outlook account setting because in all Outlook versions the account settings are kept inside the window registry under this key:
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
    So if you want to create backup of your Outlook account setting, you should have to export that key from your registry and then import it to your new computer.
    To backup Outlook Account setting follow these steps: -
    1. First, go to the Start menu and then at the Run box, type regedit and press Enter.
    2. Under the registry editor right click to Export the Profiles key found inside this location in the registry: 
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\
    • e.g: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles”
    3. In Outlook 2013 right click to Export the Profile key found under this location in the registry:
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\
    • e.g: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles key”
    4. Specify the Destination Location and File Name then press Save.
    Correct me if the information that I am having is wrong. I hope this will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • After upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4S except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried rebooting?

    Following upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4s except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried a wipe and reinstall, I've tried hard rebooting, I tried erasing all of my music and reinstalling it, I checked my Do Not Disturb, and I tried the AssistiveTouch mute button. Nothing. I can't even play music through bluetooth or headphones. Can anyone help please as its driving me mad!

    I experience this problem too. I am using iPhone4 and just upgrade it to iOS7. And now I can not make outgoing call. I checked all the setting, and nothing wrong. I even replaced my sim card with the new one, still can not help.

    Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
    No.
    If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
    Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • I upgraded 4s to IOS 7.0.2 and lost all inboxes in MAIL.

    I upgraded 4s to IOS 7.0.2 and lost all inboxes in MAIL.  After reading email and exit to MAILBOXES, I can only select from: VIP, Flagged, Unread, To/ CC, Attachments, Sent, Trash.  Not even "ALL INBOXES" is an option via Edit. How do I get my INBOX options?

    Followingothers advice on similar issues, I deleted account (in Setting - Mail...)  and then added it back.  The Inbox was there, but ni Trash or Sent box.  The Trash and Sent maiboxes presented themselves after I deleted an email, and sent an email.

  • Big Mistake, I upgraded to OS X Mavericks this morning and now I have lost all my e-mail folders where I was saving important e-mails.  I did a mailbox rebuild and it did not bring them back.  Should not have upgraded?

    I do not remember what version of OS it was.  I have carbonite back up but I am not sure it backed up my e-mail.

    If his Gmail account is under the Gmail app and press the app until it wiggles then press the extra deleted. If this account is under the Apple email and then you can go to Settings, mail contacts calendars and then select the account and remove it.

  • How do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page

    how do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page
    thanks in advance

    In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
    Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.

    Can someone please help a friend of mine get a permanent registration key (not a trial key that expires in 30 days) to replace his lost registration key for Adobe Photoshop CS2? His previous hard drive crashed and he no longer has his registration key. This is vital for his wedding business.

    Thanks to everyone for the tips on my CS2 question. It turns out in the end it was some plug-in filter software that was causing the glitch, not a lack of an Adobe registration key. As for why he still uses CS2, it does the job for him, so that's all he needs.

  • I am setting up a new iTunes account and do not have a credit card.  When I am setting the new account up it does NOT give me an option of "none" in lieu of an actual credit card. What do I do?

    I am setting up a new iTunes account and do not have a credit card.  When I am setting the new account up it does NOT give me an option of "none" in lieu of an actual credit card. What do I do?

    How did you create it ? There are instructions on this page for creating a new account (the instructions won't work with existing existing account) without giving credt card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    e.g. if currently logged into an account then log of it, then find a free app in the store, click on its free 'price', and you should then be able to create a new account during the 'buying' process and get 'none' as an option on the payments screen
