Mail app cannot open, can I re-install one?

I tried to add an assistant program on the mail app, but now I cannot open it. Is there anyway i can re-install the mail app?
It is OS X 10.8.4
Thanks.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • I can get mail, but cannot open it.

    Unfortunately, I have done so several times and it makes no difference.

  • Mail app wont open/ crashes

    I turn on my mac this morning and the Mail App wont open, it keeps on crashing.
    I tried holding shift key while opening it and the program does open, but when i select a message it crashes again.
    never had this problem before.
    There is not current updates available for my mac, so I dont know what it is happening.
    I have a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 - 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Machintosh HD , I am running Maverics 10.9.1

    Do a backup.
    Quit Mail.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

  • Mail app is open and close after sec

    When i go to mail i tap the app is open and it is closing in 3 seconds.I can not use mail app at all.Can you help me?I already restore my i phone as the instructions from telephone company support(Vodafone) but the problerm is still exist.I call at Apple support(0080044145417)but this office works from Monday to Friday.

    Hi Eric,
    the first thing to do is to go under
    Hard drive/Users/your home/Library/Mail
    and see what you have there.
    Unless you had set up your mail program to store what you receive some other place, your e-mails should be there.
    Try to Spotlight any file with the extension .emlx
    Let me know.

  • Mail app always opens in default inbox

    I have a 4s running 6.1.3.  Currently, when I open the mail app, it opens with the default inbox.  I would prefer to open to the mailboxes 'main' screen that shows all the accounts as opposed to an inbox.  Is this possible?  I cannot find any prompts in the mail app or the settings to do this.  I have read a few discussions, but there does not seem to be a concrete answer.

    I gave you two answers in my reply.  You didn't like the answer and cried about what if...
    This is all I will say.
    Good luck.

  • When I open Mail.app, iCal opens as well...

    When I open Mail.app, iCal opens as well - there are no prefs that I can find to turn this off... it started a while ago.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Rico

    MailTags will open iCal by default when launching Mail. This can be turned off in the MailTags Preferences. Open Mail's prefs, locate the MailTags Preferences (you may need to click >> in the top right) and select the calendar tab.

  • Ipad Dropbox app cannot open some pdf files

    my Ipad Dropbox app cannot open some pdf files. The blue download bar appears and when download is complete, the wheel spins and spins and nothing happens.
    Some files are password protected. until recently, the password window would open. Now it does not. The wheel just spins and spins and the file does not open.
    AN email attachment (pdf) which I opened in Dropbox on my iPhone opens fine.  Files saved in Dropbox from my desktop won't open. This is true for pdf and MSWord files.
    I'm running iOS 7.1.2 (11D257)

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Should that fail, you might delete and reinstall the app.

  • I cannot open pdf documents after installing Reader XI

    Hi I have just installed Adobe Reader Xl. I now cannot open any pdf document - the screen is blank and closes after about 10 seconds. When running the trouble-shooter it states there is a compatibility issue. I have re-installed, I have looked at my internet options settings but still cannot resolve the issue. Do you have any suggestions? I am running Windows 7 and Norton 360 Premier Edition software.  Regards Doug

    Interesting that when I installed ReaderXI I wasn't asked to accept terms.
