Lost Mail Icon/Application

I tried to click on the mail icon on the dashboard and it wouldn't open it just had a question mark appear over the icon. I tried to move the icon and it evaporated and I can't find any way to re-install it on my mac...Help!

Click on the item in the Finder's sidebar named Applications and look for Mail; if it isn't there, reinstall Mac OS X 10.5.

  • Restoring Yahoo Mail Icon/application on "desktop"

    I had to reinstall Blackberry in order to get rid of the automatic messages from Blackberry I was getting all of a sudden.
    My Yahoo Mail Icon and ability to read/reply/send disappeared.  How can I get this back?
    Currently, I can read my Yahoo Mail via the Messages application - but cannot reply/send.
    I can read/reply/send from the Yahoo GO! application - but preferred having the separate Yahoo Mail application.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for your response.
    I apologize in advance for the follow-up questions, but I don't have sufficient understanding of your reply - and my small company does not have an in-house IT person.
    I am unsure how to resend the service books from the personal email icon/carrier's website.  Do I go to the Yahoo Email website to resend the service books?  Also, will your solution fix the problem with not having a Yahoo Mail icon (with ability to send and have the number of unread messages listed separated from my work email application? 
    Finally, I had to reinstall the desktop manager - not the OS.

  • I have lost the mail icon....

    I have lost the mail icon,and have downloaded the fix from apple but the icon is still not visible and I can't find it on my pc, and I therefore cannot access or send any mail from my macbook pro.Any suggestions to get the icon and mail back onto my pc?

    Many thanks for all your assistance.  I have downloaded the link you gave, but I have also used the install disks for the pc, and although the icon now appears in the Application folder, it still gives me the error message "You have Mail version 4.2 (1078/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). "   and does not open the mail.
    Having downloaded the link and also installed from the disks that came with my pc, and restarted the pc a few times, I still cannot open the mail.
    Any ideas?

  • I lost my safari and mail icons.  How can I get them back in the screen?

    I lost my safari and mail icons on the ipad screen.  How can I get them back or where can I find them?

    Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
    Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
    If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
    There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

  • Mail Icon is missing, and unable to open from Applications.  (Mail 3.6 is not supported is the error message)  I am on Lion OSX 10.7.3.

    I closed the mail folder when I did a software update.  This morning, the mail icon is missing, and am not able to open from applications, or find it anyware in the toolbar.    Error message says that Mail 3.6 is not supported by OSX Lion 10.7.3

    Xcode 4.x cannot be installed on Snow Leopard.  You need a 3.x.  So if that is what you used then yes, you need to install lion.   If connect.apple.com still alows registration or logins using an existing appleid then you could download the last xcode 3.2.6 for free.

  • HT4623 I updated my phone yesterday to ios7.0.4 and have lost the mail icon along the bottom of the screen which sits with safari, phone and the music icon. Has anyone else experienced this?

    my phone is an iphone 4 and after the update to ios7.0.4 yesterday, i have lost all email facility. I dont have any email icon or button across the bottom of the phone which sits next to the phone, safari and music buttons. Has anyone else experienced this?? Thanks in advance

    Hi kylie,
    The Mail app cannot be deleted, so it is there somewhere. Look at all of your other Home screens to see if you can find it.
    If you cannot, do a spotlight search to see if it got accidently moved into a folder: swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the search bar - type in Mail - you should see the Mail icon in the search results. If it got moved into a folder, you will see the folder name on the right side. If it is in a folder, open the folder, and tap and hold the Mail icon until it wiggles, then slide it out and back to the place where you want it to be.
    If that doesn' work, you can also go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will move all of your icons into the original order that they were on the phone. You may have to move stuff around after this to where you want it to be, but all of the Apple system apps will be on the first Home screen.
    Cheers,

  • Lost mail messages from inbox and drafts

    I have lost all my previous inbox messages and drafts after resetting my account in Mail Preferences after a server problem. Is it because I may have renamed my account? I can't remember what I called my POP account before.
    How do I recover my inbox messages or my old 'account' name.(Will that make them reappear?)
    Have deleted messages from server so can't go back to there.
    Problem started when someone sent me a huge music file which filled up everything.
    It's driving I mad! Is there any help out there? Thanks. TW

    I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8.   I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events.  If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?

    From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?

  • Mail icon wont open after ios update on iphone 5

    After the IOS update today, my mail icon will not open and the screen seems to have lost sensitivity. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

  • Mail icon Bounces but doesn't open

    when I try to open my mail the mail icon bounces once in the dock and then nothing happens. I have auto update so i'm running the latest software. I can retrieve my mail from a website but I can't see my contacts or anything. No other application seems to be affected.
    Help please!

    HI Sonia,
    Have you tried repairing permissions?
    That is always the first thing I do when something doesn't behave as expected.
    Choose HD> applications>Utilities>disk utility. Open it and click on your hard drive icon, then choose repair permissions from the bottom of the panel. I don't usually bother to verify first but someone might disagree with me
    Let it run.
    I usually go off and have a coffee break or something.
    I also take a shot of the finished permissions so that if I have to give anyone information for troubleshooting I have a report of it.
    a selective screen shot can be taken by using shift+command[apple key}+4 [all at the same time]
    this puts a "pneg picture" on your desktop. I change the name to todays date, keep the pneg extension and file them in a suitably named folder for a month, just to be sure.
    Sorry if you knew how to do it. but someone who doesn't might read the post and find it useful.
    Hope this helps
    If not post back and maybe someone will have another answer.
    Warmest wishes and welcome to "discussions" a great community .

  • IPhone 4s has yahoo mail icon permanently on safari when there are no open pages

    My iPhone 4s using iOS7.0.2 has a Yahoo mail icon displaying permanently on the top of Safari when there are no open pages. The icon did not disappear even when I deleted my Yahoo mail account. The icon also has my Yahoo username displayed below it. Is there any way I can remove the Yahoo mail icon from permanently displaying on Safari? I cleared my history, cookies and data, but the Yahoo icon is still there.

    I have the same issue and koban4max's sugggestion doesn't work (well, it works, but you'll need to do it once a day.) I am surprised this hasn't been widely reported either as an iphone, Verizon or Yahoo issue. I tried various suggestions (deleting/re-adding account, moving messages to a new folder and changing password on computer/iphone, etc.) It will push for a while but stop pushing in a few hours or a few days. This leads me to believe somewhere in the interface corrupts the process. I would love to know if it's unique to Verizon, iphone 4S or IOS 5, or all of the above. The phone doesn't even fetch according to schedule, only when you are in the application. BTW, the Exchange push solution for Gmail works wonderfully.

  • Lost mail body and marked messages - Maverick Upgrade

    I lost some message body (they are listed but have no content) and 15 out of 16 messages marked with a flag where not in the Marked Message Folder. That happened after upgrading to Maverick. I tried to replace only the Mail folder in the libraray with the old one from Time Capsule. Didn't work. Had to reinstall whole system.

    i had lost mail body, this is how i fixed it:
    hold option, click GO in the top bar (where the apple icon lives), go to library > Mail > V2
    now here's where things may differ slightly, i lost the body of mails i had moved to my computer (on my mac), plus i'm using Gmail accounts, that being said, inside the mailboxes folder is where the local folders are and Mail decided to create duplicate folders of some of them so i had
    Clients.mbox (with some emails)
    Clients-2.mbox (with the missing ones)
    i then moved the Clients-2.mbox to the desktop, went File > Import (in Mail) then selected Apple mail as the import type, selected the mbox folder on the desktop and imported them into mail at which stage i just moved them back in to the clients folder where they belong.
    i still have an issue where the reply arrow (next to email subjects of replied emails) is linking to completely irrelevant emails, that is not good. unless apple fixes it asap i would recommend moving to another email program as the Mail dev team has not only dropped the ball but stabbed it repeatedly with a blunt rusty object.
