Mail.app on leopard crashes when Cmd-T (Fonts) invoked

Aloha gang - I have a problem with Mail.app under Leopard 10.5.4 (ever since 10.5.1 actually) on my iMac DualCore 24" system. Whenever I try to press Cmd-T for Format-Fonts I get a spinning beachball for 5 to 10 sec and then the entire app disappears. Crash! Every time. But Shift-Cmd-C for Color Palette works just fine! and every other aspect of Mail.app as well.
I had installed LetterBox plugin update, back in Nov 2007 when it was made available, as a Bundle but I uninstalled it when I thought it might be causing the crash - but Mail.app still crashes whenever I use Cmd-T.
I would appreciate any hints or help you can think of to resolve/fix this issue.
Mahalo!

'Nothing' usually means the connection to the server is ok, but no mail is ready to be retrieved or sent.
Confirm you can ping those servers and that mail is waiting to be pulled, etc. then trash & redo the connections again - restart your computer and see if it works.
If still now joy, try this - find the /Library/Preferences folder in your user/Home folder and then locate and delete this file:
com.apple.mail.plist
*Caution* - doing this may clear your account settings so be sure to note those first in the event you are required to reconfigure, etc.

Mail in Snow Leopard (starting from scratch, fresh install, POP gone?)

Where is a good manual/FAQ/Help file that explains how to setup POP gmail accounts in the new Mail in 10.6??
Did a fresh install on a new machine, and can't for the life of me figure out how to set it up (keeps selecting IMAP by default, no matter what I do, then when I setup a POP account it just sits there).
How come it worked in 10.3, 10.4, and in 10.5 then in 10.6 it just acts all goofy and won't connect? Is this the definition of 'snappier'? I think so, because I'm about to.
Thanks.

Like you I did a fresh install and when setting up my gmail accounts found the only available option of setup to be IMAP. I found the fix to this ANNOYING ISSUE.
Basically the auto-setup assistant that automatically starts in Mail w/ snow leopard looks to see if you enter "gmail.com" as your selected service and AUTOMATICALLY configures it to use IMAP instead of POP.
Now I have tried going in and disabling IMAP and entering all the correct POP settings after the wizard completes setup but I could never get a functioning connection.
The solution is to click the + sign to add an account but instead of butting "@gmail.com" change your address to "@yahoo.com". Type in the correct password and click continue. It will attempt to check the connection but will fail, click continue anyway.
From here you will have to change the POP settings from the defaults for yahoo to those of gmail. Remember those are pop.gmail.com; username is your ENTIRE email address. Ensure everything is right and click continue.
Again change the SMTP setting from those of yahoo to those of gmail's. Remember smtp.gmail.com!
Click continue and finish the setup. Once the account is setup you will have to change your address from @yahoo.com to @gmail.com and you are finished. Your account should connect and work just like it always did.

Mistakenly canceled import of old mail after installing Leopard

The first time I opened Mail after installing Leopard, it began automatically populating with my old emails. I mistakenly hit cancel and now cannot figure out how to continue the process or find the old emails. I only see new mail and mailboxes in home/library/mail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I agree that this could be the issue. But the problem is, Mail will not let me do anything about it. It gives me the dialog over and over because it is trying to do some background IMAP task (that it is unable to do) but does not stop trying to do it long enough for me to, say go into the preferences to change my account settings.
I can access the IMAP account from my web mail so this issue is something corrupted in Mail that it thinks it should be able to access but can't. If you catch my meaning.
Cheers,
Dan

How do I fix Mail in Snow Leopard where I cannot send emails from my account to another account I've set up in Mail, but the reverse works fine?

I have a problem with Mail in Snow Leopard in that I cannot set up two email accounts for myself and my wife with the same ISP and have them operate properly. I've set up the accounts in strict accordance with my ISP's instructions for setting up email accounts on Mac Mail but I cannot send an email from my account to my wife's without a drop-down message appearing that Mail 'cannot send the email from this server. Please edit the server list'. No amount of tweaking appears to work. Applecare consultants have so far been unable to get it to work and a recent visit to the local Genius Bar in the Apple Store was fruitless also. My ISP's help line was unable to solve the problem even with a supervisor level consultant. The ISP concluded it was some kind of 'bug' in Mail.
I could send emails from my wife's account to mine, but not vice versa; I could send emails to other addresees without any problem and I can send emails from my account to my wife's using the ISP's webmail.
Does anyone please have a solution to my problem? At the moment we're operating one account (mine) on my Macbook and my wife's is set up on her iPad2. As we prefer to use the Macbook for storage and (using Time Machine) for back-up of our data, the two accounts on separate machines is a nuisance.
Another factor is that I prefer to control when I download emails and set my preferences accordingly. One of the so-called 'fixes' that were tried wound up downloading emails regardless of settings, even after removing my wife's account; the matter was remedied only after I had removed all accounts form Mail and started afresh from scratch.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?). As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing. Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail. I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem. You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox. Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course. The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself. I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions. This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line. You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
Many thanks for your perseverance. You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

Apple Mail on Snow Leopard 1.6.8

I'm aware this subject isn't new but still I find no solutions ....
Hence, very many thanks to anyone who will help me to solve this substantial problem
Since the unfortunate invention of Icloud my Apple Mail on Snow Leopard 1.6.8 no longer work properly.
My machine:
Model Name:          Mac Pro
Model Identifier:          MacPro4,1
Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          3,32 GHz
RAM 16 GB (Apple Original)
Mail should take care of my me.com accounts, but I also have other accounts located elsewhere with a different suffix (.it, co.uk)
I tried to set up Snow Leopard Mail following every single help tread here and at other websites. None of which seems to work properly, and the variety of "helps" simply tells me there is no "sound" system to use Snow Leopard with the current Apple Email set-up.
Yet "randomly" Mail will stop loading my "me.com" mail opening an error message telling me the "me.com" certificate is no longer trustable.ù
I instructed Apple Mail to "trust" the certificate, but this option does not work, or at least only works randomly.
Mails also never recognizes and loads messages from my other suffix adresses. It enters in an endless connection asking to verify either my User or pass, to finally put these accounts offline. Using Safari with my user and pass (the same as in Apple Mail) everythings works well.
More: if I am working on something else (Long Photoshop Actions, Final Cut Pro rendering and more), this window message halts everything.
This problem is serious, as I usually performed this work at night. or when I don't need to stare at a screen doing nothing.
I erased my computer with the 32 zero pass options and reinstalled the original Snow Leo system (MAC OS X 10.6.2) and this problem vanishes.
As soon as I update with the Combo Upgrade the problem begins again.
My upgrades are always "fresh updates" both as a direct update from the apple menu/Software update, or downloading the combo as dmg to then install.
The result is exactly the same.
I received a fresh copy from the local Apple Store in case my original had some magical problems, but nothing changed.
Yet I can't simply use SL 10.6.2 (the original software I got with the Machine) as many programs I paid for require the latest Snow Leopard.
While I could use another drive with SL 10.6.2, just for the Mail, is really a problem to reboot, to reboot again to continue my work.
In my heart I certainly believe email these days is a "public service" especially after paying thousand dollars over the years, and Apple policy to force user to purchase their latest machines and or, waste time to reconstruct their previous work to adpat it to their industrial policy is simply not fair.
While I understand and support advances in technology and so on, I believe this going forward shouldn't be done at the expenses of the customers, but "freedom of choice" is parts of all constitution as introduced centuries ago in the US.
I read in various site Apple was planning a Snow Leopard 10.6.9 version, but so far nothing happened. Maybe this project was dismissed.
Loosing important emails is a superior problem for my work.
I "have" to use Snow Leopard because I need the Rosetta function Apple discontinued in Lion and Mountain Lion.
Some readers might dislike this post, yet I used Apple since Apple II, I bought at least 100 machines since, I went through the various software/hardware changes, with ease. I believe my current anger is legitimate.
Can someone please help?

you can save a little time - since Mail is one of the Optional Install items found by running the same-named installer within the folder on the DVD. you'll still need the 10.6.7 combo afterwards.

Does the new version of Mail.app for Leopard have this DELAY feature?

Can you delay sending an email until XXXX date and XXXX time, like you can in Eudora?
I know mail.app currently has some scripts that allow for this functionality, but I'd really like to see it built right into mail.app. Can the new version of mail.app for Leopard do this?
Thanks.

Tiger Mail on Snow Leopard?

I have been using Tiger's Mail program as my main mail application. Now I need to get my mail on my Macbook Pro.
Problem is: Mail in Tiger has an option under "Edit", of "Paste as HTML". This works beautifully.
In Snow Leopard this option has been removed, and although "Paste" does sort of work (with adding attachments for images), I get my quoted message mangled in replies from recipients of my html mails.
Question: Can I instal and use Tiger Mail on Snow Leopard, and how should I go about it?

You had me very excited for a moment there, Tom, when I saw how elegantly Safari does this, but...
I do my html in Pagespinner, then preview in Safari. Safari > File > Mail Contents of this Page, does not deliver my images. (I suppose I could link to image files on a web server...)
On the other hand, in Tiger, I select all, and copy in Safari, then Edit > Paste as html, in Mail. And my friends receive a perfect html email, with images and formatting.
I just got my little G4 iBook back, and Tiger with it, so once again, I can do my thing , but I would dearly love a similarly elegant solution in Snow Leopard.

Reinstalling Mail app on Leopard?

So like a dummy I uninstalled the Mail app from Leopard because I thought you had to have a .mac account to use it. After finding out that it can be used with hotmail I'd like to reinstall it which I'm guessing I can do from the install disc but I was wondering if anyone knew what the Mail app is listed as in the "optional" install list?
I see a bunch of "blah blah" pkg files but none that clearly say "hey this is the Mail app" file. I also didn't have an external hdd at the time so it's not on Time Machine. Any help would be appreciated.

Restoring Lost OS X Files
If you erase or otherwise "lose" an OS X system application or utility (such as Mail or Disk Utility, for example) you can restore them without having to reinstall OS X.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Read the documentation. Use Pacifist to extract a fresh copy of the missing application from the file archives on your OS X Installer disc. The file archives are usually found on the installer disc in the /System/Installations/ folder.
After restoring the application you need to reinstall the OS X Combo Updater for the version of OS X you currently have installed. This assures the new copy of the application is updated to the current version.
Lastly, it's a good idea to repair permissions.

Mail for snow leopard

is there a new mail that you must have to run mail on snow leopard?

Right, I forgot, how silly of me. Once you set up an email account on a machine it's set up forever. Even after a fresh install on a new machine. What was I thinking.
