Mail 3.6 causing some grief...any update?

Having some issues on a G5 that cannot accept Snow Leopard, and it's accompanying v4 Mail.
Overall, the performance of new versions of Mail is nicely optimized to work with the exchange server stuff here, and on an 8 core MacPro, all is well. But, this G5's Mail is groaning.
My main problem right now is, it will lock up if I change the account prefs to "not keep copies of messages". This is a bugger since there are 20 thousand messages it's still copying off the exchange server. I don't need them to be local, but cannot get it to halt and accept the alternate setting.

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Turn off 2 step authentication on your gmail account in a browser. It should work fine afterwards.

Mail app and Safari dont work after updating to 10.6.8

Hello there,
i've got a serious problem, mail 4.6 isn't sending mails and safari doesn't open (it shoes an alert about a crash).
Things I did befor all that happened:
1- I organized my Programms inside de application folder. I moved some programmes inside a folder inside de applications folder. I guess this may cause some trouble when updating the system.
2- I made the automatic software uptade from my computer. (combo 10.6.8, followed by the security update).
3- After that I realised that mail hadnt upgraded. It wa still mail 4.5. So I moved all the programs back where they where before (I took them out of the sub-folders) and reinstaled only mail 4.6 from the internet. I did the same with Safari.
4- After this mess I saw that mail 4.6 was full of problems. First the sent mails where all crazy, with different addresses... And after a while it didnt even worked anymore to send emails.
5- So I reinstaled all the 10.6.8 and the security again. The first time I tried the computer crashed. Then I tried again. Now it got even worse. Safari shows a problem (report) and Mail 4.6 continues not sending mails just receiving them.
6- I dont know what to do??
What is happening?
Thank you!

Sorry guys for worthless topic, found bunch of same! So, I will try to down combo update and try than, should be fine they said.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

Latest Update Ruined my MAIL App. Can't Get any IMAP messages...HELP!

Hi - anyone else having server issues getting IMAP mail using Mail 4.2 after installing the latest updates? This morning I can no longer get my Mail. I have Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.2...

PS - I have an AOL mail account, but have heard others have the same issues with gmail...?

Any update on the 2.1 mail saga?

Apologies is this is in the wrong forum
But has there been any update on the whole 2.1 update being 'over conservative' with power, by which I mean managing to almost kill push and fetch when the phone is sleeping?
It's been a while now and it's getting a little annoying that theres no update

No updates, no. A few threads, including one very long (and continued)) one, but no fix.
We hope it will be addressed in v2.2. No one knows when v2.2 will be released, but it has been seeded to developers so it should not be too long.

Mail Not Working After 10.9.4 Update

Is anyone else having mail issues after the 10.9.4 update this week?
Neither my iCloud or Cox email account is able to send or receive email after this update. The small exclamation mark appears to the right of each account, both for incoming and sent email...as well as the Junk email. The error says something about not being able to connect to Port 993.
I tried disabling SSL in both accounts (which automatically changes Mail to a different port) but saw no change.
I know email works on both of these accounts as I'm able to access them on my iDevices, so it has to be something specific to my iMac.
Any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

T410 reinstallation fails after loading some windows optional updates

Reinstalling a Thinkpad T410 Windows 7 Pro 64bit: all is fine through Windows 7 SP1, then all Thinkpad (Thinkvantage) drivers and then all the Windows security patches (to October 2013).
HOWEVER loading some optional windows updates ( Bluetooth), or Windows .Net, or some of the other optional updates result in -get this- any keyboard entry freezing the currently active application it is meant for.
All other applications open and work fine as long as only the mouse is used. A keyboard entry only freezes the application it is meant for. I once succeeded in having Google respond by entering a VOICE search item, but could never cut and paste ( -> keyboard entry!) into a Google search or any application
Some other clues: rolling back (windows restore points) sometimes but NOT always return to a machine in good status. And starting in safe mode, the problem disappears. I have not had the patience to figure out which service /driver is causing the keyboard glitch. Will be ignoring these optional updates for now, but it would be good to know the reason this is happening ( a strange combination of drivers / inappropriate order loading updates? )

Since you deselected IIS & Tomcat, it sounds like the links defaulted to Tomcat (port 8080). WACS requires IIS to run and port 6405 is what WACS listens on. You have a couple options.
The easy solution would be to find the file:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\bobjsetup\administrator_guide
Right click on the shortcut file and change it to point to:
http://localhost:6405/CmcApp/help/en/administration/html/default.htm
Another option would be to uninstall and then do a full install rather than a custom install. Let it install Tomcat and if it detects IIS, it will configure that as well. Depending on how you plan to use the product, you may find yourself wanting to use Tomcat anyway. If you've already spent a lot of time configuring your current system and are ok with changing the links as above, that would be the easiest solution. Keep in mind, the latest revisions of the admin guide and other documentation can always be downloaded from Service MarketPlace.

Both iPhoto and Mac Mail not working after most recent security update

Granted I wasn't there to see it happen but I think my mom's computer here is a bit fubar based on something having been changed on her computer prior to the last security update. My guess is that her friends who think they are 'helping' are actually causing some real problems but I'm here now so I'm just trying to fix it with what I can.
Essentially neither her mail or iPhoto seems to be working. I've found a similar error message in other posts but what throws me for a loop is that, when I use the console log and look at the crash files for both applications, they are both telling me the exact same thing. Could they both be pulling the same file for use? I've already run the disk repair stuff, changed the permissions on the file and just about everything else I could think of - do I need to reinstall the application or perhaps the entire operating system?

Safari's mail link and mail page options cause system wide hang

I am having a very odd and serious problem with mail/safari in the 10.4.6 update
When I select mail contents of this page or mail link to this page from the file menu and mail is NOT open it causes the entire system to hang and the only option is to reboot
I tried to mail a page when mail was open and I didn't have any trouble
I have seen several posts that are similar but don't involve safari's mail link issue
If someone knows of a more appropriate area please direct me there
Thanks
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I usually don't use this feature with the Mail.app quit but it shouldn't make any difference.
As a test, I quit the Mail.app and used Mail Contents of This Page from Safari. The Mail.app launched without any problems and a new Mail.app message opened with the contents of the selected web page copied to the message.
As a first step, I suggest Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption for system troubleshooting procedures and when doing so, follow all steps/instructions in the order provided.
Did you check the hard drive for any directory problems with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc before installing the 10.4.6 update and did you quit all running applications before the install?

I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install!

Hi
I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install, for example it says iPhoto is intalled but its not, i never copied it from the older imac, and i cant download it to this one now
any help appreciated

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Any Updates I Should Download?

Hello. I just received a new Aluminum MacBook for my birthday yesterday. I see that there are new updates which I dont have. I am wondering if I should download any of them because I have heard they are causing some glitches on people's systems. Any suggestions? And which updates do I need exactly? I am running Leopard 10.5.5.

For each report of a failed update, there are 100-1000 users who have updated without incident.
With 15,000,000 people using Mac OS X now, I'd say it's more likely 100,000 didn't have an incident fore each one that did. With that said, remember this is the place to go IF you have a problem. You're not going to see reports here from the thousands of people who didn't have a problem.
There are no inherent problems with any of the recent updates.
-Doug
