Mac mail version 4.5(1084/1085) can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8(Build 10K549)

At some stage today I did an update which has killed Mac Mail.
I have read the forums, performed a combo update 10.6.8 with no result, I still get the error
You have Mail version 4.5(1084/1085). It can't be used on OS X Version 10.6.8 ( Build 10K5489)
Any thoughts?

Thanks mate but Software update is indicating that I am all up to date.
I have booted off an older clone and mail was fine. I may have to go for a fresh install of the system but it annoys me to have to do that. It's gotta be something simple!

  • Mail version 4.5(1084/1085) can't be use on Mac OS X 10.6.8(Build 10K549) ?  --- please help

    I just clicked software updated and after installed items that showed me to install - now mail won't work at all.  I get the following message, "You have Mail version 4.2 (1084/1085).  It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button."  Help offers three suggested fixes, none of which have worked.  What more can I do to fix this problem?
    I also check that Mail.app is in the Application folder. So any suggestion would appreciate.
    Ps. should I try to re-install the Security Update (2012-004) .... if yes how can I do it?
    Many thanks in advance.

    You need to look for more than one copy of the Mail app on your computer. What has resulted is a "hybrid" version that never existed. We have seen this a few times before, and it likely results from something being in the wrong place during the update. Probably the best way to handle is to either find another version on your computer some place, or delete the current version in the Applications folder, install only the Mail app from the installation discs, and immediately apply the latest Combo Update to advance it the proper version.
    For an earlier example of this sort of thing, see:

    Awesome, thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it when I get home this evening.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

    Hi ...
    The Mail app is not available for downloading.
    You need to reinstall the Mail app from your install discs.

  • I deleted my Mail app sometime back. I reinstalled it again, today, on my Macbook Snow Leopard Mac OS but when I try launching Mail, it says ' You have Mail version 4.0(1075/1085). It can't be used on Mac OS X version 10.6.8(Build 10K549)",

    The Mail version for your machine is 4.6 (1085)   You can get it via the Combo updater.  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Then follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.

    Therefore black birds are crows.
    The build I have is the released build of Mail. I reinstalled it as directed and it didn't help. That indicates that the problem is with my version of OS X.
    The build you have is the released build of 10.8.5.  You reinstalled it as directed and it didn't help. That indicates it is a problem with your version of Mail.
    The above are examples of flawed logic.
    Seriously now. Since you obviously don't know what a Combo Update is, I will tell you. A Combo Update is short for a COMBINATION of Updates. That means that there is MORE THAN ONE update in a Combo Update. It is, therefore, quite proper to speak of "one of the Combo Updates". For people whose first language is not English and are not familiar with its subtle nuances, perhaps I should have said "One of the updates contained within the Combo Update was"
    "There aren't "versions" of the combo update, unless Apple releases a revision"?
    This is plain silly. It means "There aren't versions unless there are"
    Also I didn't use the word "version". See above for the explanation of what I DID say.
    Are you one of those TROLLS I keep hearing about?
    I hope you got a lot of phoney Help points for not actually helping.
    Don't bother replying, I won't come back to this thread, so I wont see it. Of course you'll get another phoney Help point, so I suppose you will, but I'll never know. Doesn't that mess with your head?
    Bye Bye
    What an attitude you have.
    Erase your drive and reinstall correctly, stop messing about with incremental patches. The routine you need is BERR (backup, erase, reinstall, restore) or just stay as yu are, it is entirely up to you.

    the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
    The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
    When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
    As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
    When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
    Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but  he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

  • Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

    I have a MacBook. In previous versions of Firefox I could zoom in or out using my trackpad. Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
