Mail.app nonstop checks mailserver and loads CPU, force quit only.

Hello
My mail.app turned useless. It does not stop checking my exchange server for mails (little flower weel turns and turns), thereby it cranks up its cpu usage to 80%. I can then only quit mail by force quitting it. Everytime I start mail.app, the same thing happens. I can simply not use it anymore. I already deleted all mail accounts and manually deleted the Mail folder (~/Library/Mail/). As soon as I added the exchange mail account, the problem was back. At the same time that the mail.app started to cause that problem a process called AddressBookSourceSync regularly starts to heat up my cpu (80% and more) . On my iOS devices the exchange account works flawlessly. Does anybody have an idea what could cause this behavior? Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Silvan

Going to use Postbox email client until this gets resolved. I saw a lot of possible solutions on google but none of them worked.
I don't use mobile me
I use gmail pop
so this is just mail.app setup to use gmail's pop servers. i had about 20k email messages in deleted and sent folders that I deleted. just in case it was because I had a large number of emails.
I tried resetting the sync history.
**** this is ruining my perfect image I have of apple products.

HT1338 my mail is not on screen and cannot be force quit as well!! Help?

my mail is not on the screen and cannot be forced quit as well - all the other applications seem to be working- cant turned computer off either!!

Try bringing up the Force Quit window from the Apple menu (or with Command-Option-Esc on the keyboard). Is this where you tried to force quit Mail before? If Mail is listed, select it and try a Force Quit.
If the Mac does not shut down because it is stalled during the log out process, press and hold down the Power Button to force a shutdown. Then press and release to start up again.

Mail App freezes and won't force quit.

My internet service keeps going out, and this causes my Mail app to freeze. I usually simply force quit, but it won't do that now, and I can't shut the computer down. I'd rather not hard reboot it.

I suggest you look at the posts in the pre-tiger OS X discussions, maybe this one and if you can't find anything related re-post your question there.

Mail App stopped checking mail

Hi. Mail App stopped checking mail suddenly. I was able to check my mail at 10:15 this morning. Now when i tell it to get mail it does nothing at all. I repaired permissions and reboot and still no luck. Any ideas?

Try locating and deleting these two preference/plist files:
~(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
~(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist

[E2013] [MailApps] [JS] [Windows]: window.open from a mail app fails in Chrome and Firefox but works in IE

I develop an Office Mail App which is used in Exchange 2013 On-Premises in my test lab. The mail app is hosted on IIS 8 (Windows Server 2012 R2) in the same LAN and ActiveDirectory domain.
Opening popup windows from the mail app does only work in IE, not in Chrome and Firefox.
Here are the details:
The following server and domain names are changed to hide our internal names. I adjusted the error messages accordingly.
Exchange 2013 is available at https://e13.some.dom/owa...
The app content comes from https://server.some.dom/...
Both the app and exchange server have valid SSL certicates.
Both server URLs are listed in the popup exception lists of the browsers I use.
The app generates html with an element which uses onclick to open another item in the same mailbox in a new browser window. Like so:
<a onclick="window.open('https://e13.some.dom/owa/#viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&ItemID=SomeValidID', '_blank', 'width=600,height=400');">click me</a>
Clicking that link in Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.17105; Update Versions: 11.0.7) opens a new browser window and shows the message specified with "SomeValidID". All good.
When I use Chrome (Version 34.0.1847.131 m) the popup browser window opens. I see some progress text "Starting..." and "Almost there..." and then this error:
something went wrong
Sorry, we can't get that information right now. Please try again later. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.

In Firefox I see the popOutManager-access with "permission denied", but the popup window itself was already opened.
Seems like the opened popup window tries to open another window?
When I open up a new browser window in Chrome or Firefox manually and paste the URL (https://e13.some.dom/owa/#viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&ItemID=SomeValidID) manually in the address bar the message is shown correctly, so the URL itself does not seem to be
the problem.
Double clicking on messages in Chrome and Firefox opens those messages in new windows as well. So it does not seem to be a general popup problem in Chrome and Firefox as well.
Any ideas how I get the popups from my mail app working in Chrome and Firefox as well?

What can I do to get back to a point that I can directly purchase Apps from my itouch via wi-fi. I was able to before I purchased an app on my PC and loaded it into the device via the sync cable.

What can I do to get back to a point that I can directly purchase Apps from my itouch via wi-fi. I was able to before I purchased an app on my PC and loaded it into the device via the sync cable. My itouch 2G was bought 2nd hand, so when trying to get Apple support I was unable to register my device because I didn't know it's original purchase date. Note: I am still able to download the apps to my computer and load/sync them into the device.

Why can you not buy from the ipod?
What happens when you try?
Error message?
What does it say?
Any info?

Running Mail.app give spinning ball and freezes computer

My wife and I have different accounts on an iMac (2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) running 10.7.4. Her Mail.app has recently stopped working. When she launches Mail.app, the computer freezes and she sees the spinning ball. On my side of the computer, the Mail.app is still working. Any suggestions on how I can get her Mail program running again?
Thank you.

Donald and others:
This problem has been ongoing for about a week now. During that time, my wife has logged in and out of her account several times, and I’ve rebooted the iMac several times. I've also run fsck, repaired disk permissions, and rebuilt the directory with Diskwarrior. But Mail.app still isn't working.
I don’t know how it’s done nowadays, but there used to be plist files that stored preferences for particular apps. Every now and then one of those files would become corrupted, and when that happened, the performance of the app would be negatively affected. At times,the problem could be solved simply by deleted the right preference files. I bring up this subject because, at lease in some crude sense, Mail.app is behaving as if it had a corrupted plist file.
Anyway, if someone would tell me what steps I should go through to attempt to solve this problem, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

hello
The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I want to delete my mac account and replace it with my gmail account. I know how to do this but when I click and open up mail I get the spinning wheel and have to force quit mail.

I want to disable my mac.com mail, I know how to delete it but I cannot get into mail to do this, whenever I click on mail, or mail in system preferences to open it I get the spinning wheel and have to force quit. I am running a Macbook 10.7.5
Thanks,

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

I keep getting told that i have run out of application memory and have to force quit applications. Not sure why this happens or what I do to fix it.

I keep getting told that I have no more application memory and have to force quit applications. Why does this happen and how do I fix it? This issue has only started since I started using Mavericks 10.9.2.

Have you checked how much space you have left on your HDD? You may find some useful information here:

Installed Itunes 8.1 and now it crashes at close and must be force quit.

I just installed Itunes 8.1 on my Mac. I did not realize any issues at first. I can still change cover art, make new playlists but when clicking on the info button (for previously purchased content and in the Itunes Store) the info page opens so big I cannot see the bottom or the top and I cannot close the info page. The only way to get rid of the info page is to close Itunes which crashes and must be force quit.
This is very disappointing. I will not use the info button until a fix is made to this release. I have already seen the posts that you cannot re-install the lower versions.. This was very badly done.

Because I really needed to view the info on new items available in the iTunes Store I experimented with my display settings.
By lowering the display settings to 1280x800
(still could not see bottom of box at that time)
and then raising it back up to 1440x900
I was finally able to see the bottom of the resized box
and now when the box is opened it maintains the new size.
Hopefully next upgrade the box will default to the lowest and not the largest box size on windows and you can resize from there..

FCP X freezes and must force quit? I have a FCP installed on a Mac Mini (4 gig memory) and Lion OS. The import files are large ACVHD files from a Canon G10 camera. FCPX freezes and requires a force quit. Is anyone else having these problems?

I am using FCP X on both a MacMini (10.7 with 4 Gig memory) and an iMac (10.6 with 4 gig memory). The files are ACVHD files imported from a Canon G10 camcorder. FCP is constantly freezing and requiring a forced quit. Could it be that FCP X was not tested thoroughly for use on a Mac Mini?

I think it's safe to say that FCPX wasn't tested throroughly for use on anything.
with that out of the way, there are many variables as to what might cause your problems, but I don't think it's the mac mini as long as it meets the specified minimum requirements (especially the graphics card).
You might try creating a camera archive first and then importing from that.
The other issue might be the file format itself; you might need to use Clipwrap first. Maybe someone who has the same camera can chime in.

My problem started when system preferences was unresponsive and would not force quit. I tryed to restart and got the grey screen, but it never restarted. I closed the lid and now the screen is blank. Has anyone had a similar problem after Lion?

No, as I have yet to be convinced on Lion.

I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else?

I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else? Thanks, Rose

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that does'nt help log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto from there.
