Mail app has not worked in 2 years in MBP

In March 2012 my mail for icloud stopped working.  I didn't mind that much because I was able to get the mail from that account on my ipad. 
I've updated all of my icoud account information on all devices, and can receive the mail on all my iOS devices, but it just won't receive on the MBP.  Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.

Try deleting that account from Mail's Accounts preference pane, reboot, launch Mail and add the account back.  See if that will help.

    Hi,
    Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Select the Bios option ( f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. 
    Post back with the details of any error messages.
    Note:  If the option to run these tests is not available in the Bios Menu, use the f2 diagnostic menu instead.

  • Mail app has stopped working after 10.9.4 update on July 4, 2014

    Mail is totally dead.  It does not connect to the internet.  Each of my email accounts has the exclamation triangle next to them.  No new peripherals or devices or USB connections were added after the update.  The system worked before the update, and the same system stopped working (Mail app so far) after the update.

    In your opinion Apple was doing a garbage job, when in fact it was Intego that trashed your Mac. That's all it is capable of doing.
    But now I have no virus protection.
    This is a common misconception. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Ill-conceived "anti-virus" garbage convey no benefit and as you found out, can simply prevent your Mac from working as it is designed to work.
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • [HELP] Nokia Mail App is not working!!!

    There is no problem with inbox.
    The problem is that I can't Sync sent items. There are 100+ mails in my sent items but they are not synchronizing with my mobile(I mean it is showing empty in my mobile).
    Recently i have sent some mails through the mobile app and they were received at the other end too,but I can't see those sent mails when i login from PC or mobile browser. Only those mails which i have sent from mobile are shown in the app .
    But the problem is whatever i sent from mobile app are not shown when i login from PC. Now I re-flashed my mobile to fix it,the problem still exits and I lost all those sent mails from my mobile and they even not synchronized to the server. Now i can't get back those mails which are sent from the mobile. I don't know where they are get saved?????
    Do anyone face this problem??
    Please someone help me, i need mail app very badly

    First Nokia Tech Support is clueless on this issue. Dec 14th, 2012 Google turned off SyncML for all new devices. So if you are using the mail for exchange, it won't work unless you had it working prior to Dec 14, 2012. How a major software update might affect that, your guess is as good as mine.
    The Gmail inbox still seems to work. Just don't try to set it up as Mail for Exchange. So for Gmail only, that will work. But if you want to sync your claendar, I've only found one solution. GoogaSync. It is pricy at $22 but there is a demo version to try. But it will work with only one limitation that I have found as of this posting. You can not sync back to Google edits to multi event calendar entries. I fyou want to edit those, you will have to go to Google and edit them. But this software has a big bonus. You can sync multiple calendars. 
    Thanks... Only inbox is synchronizing .. I don't Know when they are gonna fix this..

  • Auto-complete for the email addresses in the mail app is not working

    Hi, could somebody kindly help, please?
    I have just got a new iphone 5s after my old 5 got broken. When I got the new 5s one I had to restore everything from the back-up copy I had on my ipad or in my icloud, whatever.
    The problem is that in the standard mail app which you have at the bottom of the screen auto-complete for the email addresses is not working on this new iphone. However, it still works on the ipad.
    Can I turn it on somewhere or is it a bug? I remember When my old iohone was new as well as the ipad and ipod, I did not have to turn on anything. The recent email addresses list (appears when one starts to type an address in the address bar when writing a new email message) appeared automatically. And on this phone it doesn't appear at all. It doesn't suggest me any recent or whichever email addresses and I am really lazy to type an address each time.
    Could this be solved?
    Many thanks in advance for the eventual help.

  • Windows 8.1 Mail app does not sync with the Office 365 account

    My company has recently switched to Office 365. Windows 8.1 Metro Mail app does not work with Office365 account. When I switch to IMAP it works but that is soon going to be disabled and is not compliant with the company policy.
    I can add the account and it also pushes the security policies but it does not sync email at all. Says account is not available. The tablet shows up on the mobile devices on the office 365 and I could also remote wipe it.
    It seems everything works except basing email sync. What could be the issue?

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Everytime I try and restore my iphone i get: The phone "Justin's Phone" could not be restored. This device isnt eligilbe for the requested build.

  • HT204406 Since updating to ios6 on my iPhone 4S iTunes Match has not worked. The app stays open for about five seconds before crashing. With ios5 it was great and worth paying for. Now it is utterly useless. Apple, please listen and fix this problem.

    Ever since I updated to ios 6 on my iPhone 4S, iTunes Match has not worked.
    I have been through the process of deleting my iTunes control files, and that worked temporarily, but now I cannot listen to music through the service.
    It shows my artists and albums, then takes forever to access the songs (often more than 10 minutes - and yes, that's using WiFi), more often than not crashing before it gets to that point, then repeatedly crashing when I try to open the Music App, so I can't even access things I've downloaded.
    Has anyone else found a solution?
    Apple, please listen up - I am paying you for the iTunes Match service that is utterly useless. Fix it please.

    After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery.  I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
    Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
    She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
    After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
    I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
    Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • TS3276 After my update to OSX 10.6.8 my mail app will not open anymore. What can I do? I need it for work!!!!

    After my update to OSX 10.6.6 today I am not able to open my mail application anymore. I can't check my emails and I need to work on Monday! Who can help me please? I tried downloading the SecUpd2012-004.dmg and installed it with mail being in the applications folder. Still no luck! I also ran disk utility before...:(
    I am not a happy camper tonight!

    Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
    Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
    When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
    The solution has been to:
    1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
    2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
    3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
    Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
    If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

    after upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

    First, select sender(s) as VIPs. Then the VIP category will appear.
    To select a sender as a VIP, open an email from that sender, then hover over their name and a star icon will appear to the left. Click the star, and that sender will be set as a VIP (and the category will appear in the pane on the left).

  • The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers.  This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs.  Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

    opps.  Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers.  This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs.  Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those.  Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads.  Problem still contintues.  Any suggestions?

    Folks,
    even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
    In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
    When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
    What else can be done to correct this problem?
    Thanks and best regards.

    Yes, I am connected to the Internet through my wifi. Everything is working fine with the e  eption of youtube.  I have reset all Internet settings and have tried synching to iTunes followed by rebooting.  This is all the advice I have found although none of it has been helpful.
