Mail.app reset to zero data - freshly installed account stalls as before

I asked for help in an earlier thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1958019
and saw no way out but to reset Mail.app to zero: I trashed its prefs file, removed the /Library/Mail folder and started up Mail again. I did not even import the old emails, just set up my email account again. And as before, +downloading emails stalls at 100%+ and won't show the d.l. mails. I cannot quit Mail.app except by force-quitting it; i.e. I am not able to d.l. any emails for 4 days now!
What else could I remove - besides the app itself (which I did at the beginning), its prefs and that Mail folder? What else could I do???
Thanks a lot for help!

I deleted 4 accounts and the mail app keeps trying to contact the old account server causing thousands of emails to be processed and causing my ISP to charge my account 20-30GB of data. Why is this happening and how do I stop this activity?

I only now have 3 accounts!

The "LocalAccount" is "On My Mac" and doesn't correspond to an account on a mail server. That all I can tell you from the information provided.

When we attach photos to an email in the Apple Mail app, the photos appear tiny on gmail accounts.

When we attach photos to an email in the Apple Mail app, the photos appear tiny on gmail accounts. They are unable to download the file as the size sent. We have tested this in multiple gmail accounts and we have tried sending as different sizes and actual size with no difference. Other photos attached in other ways come through fine. This seems to be a a result of the recent iphotos to photos app update.
Please advise on if this is a bug with how mail is ending the photos or how gmail is receiving them.

Try using Mail as the email client for iPhoto and see if that will fix the problem:

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.

Mail app freezes upon opening after Mavericks install

Following my installation of mavericks, apple mail app freezes upon opening. Windows do not open; program immediately begins "not responding." Having followed this with a force quit loop for a day, I installed airmail, a serviceable alternative, but not well integrated with address book. As such, I'm interested in finding a fix for mail app. Advice will be greatly appreciated.

I have same problem with my macbook pro 2009
Worked fine when first installed now mail app fails to open. Not the same issue as with macbook airs.

Mail.app won't work properly after installing Yosemite

My "new viewer window" in Mail.app won't work after installing Yosemite. I can not access the viewer window and thus none of my email.
How can I fix this?
Mail.app v 8.0

some updates on this issue, Mail application uses the same proxy that has been set on your system (system preferences==>Network==>Advanced==>proxies). People usually use HTTP/HTTPS proxy for surfing the web. You should make sure to set SOCKS proxy as well. Mail application works with SOCKS proxy. Note that port number for SOCKS proxy is usually different from the port number for HTTP and HTTPS but the IP address of your server (apparently) is the same.
Hope this helps

Mail app automatically entering one of my configured accounts

My iPhone 3GS started acting oddly last week. When I press the Mail icon the Mail application enters one of my email account's inbox without me selecting which account.
I have three email accounts: two Exchange and one GMail configured. When I press the Mail icon, the application goes directly into one of the account's inbox. It is that account's Inbox and not the All Inboxes as the upper left has the account name 'back' button to return to the accounts folder list.
I removed all email accounts and re-added them. Same thing started happening. I restored the phone back to factory settings and re-added all accounts. This helped for a while but it started doing it again.
If I back out to the main Mail screen with the account listing and leave it there in about 15 seconds it enters an inbox on its own. Very odd. It seems to be the Gmail account that it enters but when I remove that account - it just does it to another account.
Any thoughts.

You are correct that the mail app will open in the same way it was last closed, but this is not the issue. When I open the mail app, it generally is at the mail home screen listing the accounts, since this is where I almost always leave it. After a few seconds it will open the inbox of the first account in the list. If I back out to the mail home screen again, it waits 3-15 seconds(actually pretty random)then returns to the inbox. If all mail accounts are deleted, then re-added, the phone will function perfectly for 1-2 weeks. Then it will start all over again. This is VERY frustrating. We cannot be the only 2 cases where this is happening, especially given that our phones are completely different and running slightly different versions of iOS. I recently hard-reset the entire phone and will wait to see how long it takes to happen again. I will avoid installing additional apps with the exception of Facebook. I will have a company exchange account, my Gmail account configured as exchange, and my Yahoo! account. I know I should probably not even have Facebook installed to avoid the possibility that that is the culprit, but I don't want my phone to be entirely useless. I don't really feel that I should have to be the guinea pig here, but this issue is particularly annoying to me. And Apple phone care has not even heard of the issue. So again, PLEASE post here and call Apple if you are experiencing this issue.

I can't open my mail app. It appears on the screen and immediately disappears before i can do anything.

I can't open my mail app. It appears on the screen but disappears immediately. What can I do ?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

Windows 8 Mail App - Not setting up with Office 365 Account

Hi - I'm trying to get an Office 365 Exchange account set-up with the Windows 8 Mail app. It's giving me an error stating the following:
To sync this account, you first need to: Make your Windows user account an administrator.
I do not want to give admin privileges to the individual user account on Windows (as the error is stating that it wants me to give admin privileges to the local Windows 8 account - not on Office 365) and I cannot find any restriction set-up in the admin
console/settings on Office 365 (or in Widows 8) that would require this privilege.
This same account (on Office 365) can connect fine via Outlook 2010 and a Windows Phone 7 mail app.
How can I solve this?..

Derek,
Can you please share the UAC setting or GPO settings you used to fix this in Windows 8? I've gone to the lowest available setting in the UI (there appears to be a lower limit that a NON-admin user can manually set UAC to and to get any other levels,
you need to use GPO) and still no luck.
Thx,
DML

Mail.app will not "reply all" to local accounts

Hi all
I have a number of mail.app IMAP accounts on a machine using 10.8.4 and Mail.app 6.5.
If I receive an email on which one of those other local accounts is CCd when I go to "Reply All" then only the original sender will be in the "To" fields and the CC will be left out unless manually entered.
This seems to be new behaviour in 10.8.4 but I can't find any chatter about it in the forums.
Any ideas gratefully received!
Thx!

I can't find any info on this at all?? It seems like a crazy idea to exclude local accounts from CC when replying to all in a message. I am investigating finding some hidden attribute in com.apple.mail.plist.

In the Mail App how do I delete the MobileMe account after I've moved my second email account to iCloud?

I have moved two accounts to iCloud. Both iCloud accounts appear on my iPad's Mail App. The MobileMe account is still there, however. In Settings only the iCloud account appears. How do I get rid of the now redundant MobileMe account?

This works for me: In the iPod's Settings select 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' and delete the account that appears twice in the Mail App. The add same account. Go to Mail to affirm that the second account appears only once. Bingo!
Once the second account is in iCloud it can be deleted and added to iOS devices without worries.

Deleting mail from the Mail app won't delete from my email account

Hello, I'm new to macs but I have set up my hotmail accounts on the mail application built into the OS, but when I press delete with an email selected, it gets deleted from the app but not from my hotmail email account. This must be somewhere in the settings, I just cant find it! Any ideas?

Sorry I should have said, I am using an IMAP connection between Outlook.com (the server for my [email protected] account) and Mail.
Broadly speaking the setup is working well and i can happily send and receive emails using 'pushed' emails (IDLE command). It just doesn't delete any of the emails on the server if i delete them on the Mac.
(as a side, the setup also generates 2 emails in the sent folder. But this is another issue on another discussion)

My app is showing up dates to other accounts not mine

my app store is showing updates from another account not mine

Mail App will not synchronise with my email account

I have uninstalled and re-installed the app various times. The first couple of times it synchronises without a problem but on the third time it says that my email account isn't available, when it is. I've checked my Microsoft email account and it is working properly. The calendar app has the same problem. Anyone encounter this same problem with a Sat C-50 A.
Thanks!

Which Satellite C-50 A? There is a label on the bottom.
it says that...

TS3276 Why is the Mail app mixing up my Yahoo and Gmail accounts? I am receiving mail in each account that appears to have "crossed over" from the other account.

I have Mail set up with 2 different accounts (1 Yahoo and 1 Gmail). I am missing messages in my Yahoo account that all of a sudden appear in my Gmail account. I thought Mail was suppose to keep these accounts separate. There is nothing to connect the 2 accounts. (I am not accidentaly sending out e-mails using the wrong account) Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you!

Have you done this: Mail >> Preferences >> Accounts >> Accountinformation >> uncheck gmail Account 2.
Or remove gmail Account 2 at all from the MacBook by clicking on the minus sign.
