Mac Mail not working after Mavericks upgrade

After successfully updating to Mavericks, Mac Mail app does not launch (window does not appear on screen) and requires force quit to stop. I also have Outlook loaded and it started up and works fine.  I would rather use Mail. Anyone else have this issue?  Is there any easy fix?  The app doesn't launch completely so I can't clear any of the accounts to try to start Mail fresh.

Here's my issue and how I fixed it. If you have this problem then try what I did.
When I lauched Mail, it appeared like it opened but then wouldn't display any windows at all and wouldn't
update my mail count on the icon.
Within mail there is options to display. The setting was set to "assign to none". That makes mail appears as though it is not working and seemed to bottleneck how mail operates.
In the dock - click and hold on Mail - open Options and chose the display you wish to assign the window to display
mail.
Hope this helps.

  • Mac mail not working after Mavericks 10.9.4 update

    Help! Mac Mail was working fine, on all 3 of my different email accounts, until I did the Mavericks 10.9.4 update yesterday. Now I cannot receive or send mail and it shows all accounts are offline. Connection doctor says it cannot connect to server. I am able to get online fine and I check with my provider Verizon and all is working perfectly with them......it must be something to do with the update that screwed something up. Any help or suggestions would be AWESOME!

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

    Hey there sarunelis,
    It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

  • Most of the default Mac Apps does not work after Mavericks Upgrade

    Hi, I did everything, but nothing has brought me out of this misery .
    I Updated Maverick just 2 days after its release. Had no problems, other then slow Finder. I restarted my iMac last week, and got caught with these issues, known to me, not sure what all bugs are there.
    All these apps does not work: App Store, TextEdit, Preview, Terminal, iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, etc
    I do not know how to do a clean install, as I had upgraded from Snow Leopord to Mountain Lion and to Maverick using App Store, which does not open at all.
    Hoping to get some response soon from Apple support team to help me.

  • Preview and Mac Mail not working after upgraded to 10.4.11

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to 10.4 everything works fine, after I upgraded to 10.4.11, I find funny noice on my hard drive and preview, mac mail is not working. Trashing the preference is not working.
    Urgent help please.
    Thank you
    Benny

    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
    And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.4.11 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • Microsoft Word 2011 not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    After my upgrade to OS X Mavericks yesterday, my Microsoft Office Word 2011 program has not been working properly.

  • Mac mail not working after OS 10.9.5 update

    I have the same problem as other users.
    Since last update of the OS to 10.9.5, the MAIL app does not send email.
    It just does a few times a day, on and off.
    I tried to take all accounts offline and then take all accounts online again, so many times, does not work.
    I tried to reboot; does not work.
    I tried deleting my accounts and creating them again, does not work.
    I started to like that app, makes me sad to see how bad it got this week.
    Does anyone know what is going on??
    MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
    HELP!
    Re: Mail app drives me crazy, does not sync since last update 10.9.5

    On and Off, that's the reason I am 100% convinced it is a software update issue.
    It seems that Mail does not connect to servers as it used to.
    Sometimes it would work great for a while, and turn back down again for no reason.
    Apple will not read those comments as it is a place for mac users only. The only thing we can do is send 1 email per day, that's what i am doing, to "Provide Mail Feedback" in Mail on the bar to complain so they hear about the problem and try to solve it.
    Any mac user of the community could help, apart from saying just do not use this app anymore?

  • Mac mail not working after ios 10.9.5 update

    After updating to OS X 10.9.5, both of my email accounts are only sporadically sending email through Mac Mail.  About 50% of my outgoing mail is rejected by my mail server Comcast.  My email works on my iphone.  My families' emails using Comcast work.  Seems the latest ios is the culprit.  How to fix?

    I have the same problem as you, I reported it here:
    Re: Mail app drives me crazy, does not sync since last update 10.9.5
    But the only answer I got is the same link to Troubleshooting.
    Thank you Eric for your answer but this does not solve the issue.
    You have to understand that EVERYTHING is IN ORDER!!! Yes, the emails sometimes leave the outbox, suddently, after beeing blocked for a long time.
    I also lost a lot of emails like that, they went to Outbox, never left, and were erased.
    Apple HAS TO DO SOMETHING and stop saying that it is our connection or settings that wrong. If it can work, it means all is in order. I really believe this comes from the last update. Please give us a solution, make it work!

  • Share via Mail not working after Yosemite upgrade

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded from Lion to Yosemite and now I cannot use the Send via Mail option in Pages (or Numbers for that matter).
    I searched for this already in another tread but the answer (permission repair) did not work. The Exporting option still works, although it wants to save the file in a strange location, namely LIBRARY - CACHES - CLEANUP AT STARTUP - COM.APPLE.IWORK.PAGES.8572.TEMP.XXXXXXX    instead in DOCUMENTS or DESKTOP.
    Any and all advice on this small but annoying inconvenience is welcome :-)
    Thanks

  • Back mouse gesture not working after Mavericks upgrade

    Just upgraded to Mavericks.
    No matter what website I'm on and no matter how many pages deep I'm in, the "one finger swipe" to go back a page is not working.  It's acting like there are no other pages to go back to.  However, when I click on the back arrow, it goes back like normal.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Anyone else find a fix?

    Found the solution.
    Somehow during the upgrade, this gesture gets turned off in System Preferences.  Go there, to Mouse, turn it back on.  Back to normal!

  • Printers and Scanners preference pane does not work after Mavericks upgrade

    I upgraded to Mavericks on my late 2011 MacBook Pro, and my printers and scanners preference pane stopped working. Sometimes it comes back as an error and wont open, other times it opens but the list of printers is obscured and not really showing, and it does not react normally. I tried reinstalling from System Restore with the onlie version, but that just took 6 hours but did not really help. I am going a little crazy as I cant get my Canon MX330 scanner installed and recognized. Does anyone have any ideas for me please??

    I'm assuming that you're referring to the Printers & Scanners in System Preferences (not a preference pane, which is a different animal).
    While I haven't experienced your issue, one thing that users find helpful is to go to System Preferences/Printers & Scanners/, and delete the printers listed by tapping on - (minus). Then, reenter the information when it's required later.
