Mail app strange behavior, default and all mailboxes not accessible

hello community! i have had this problem from months now and maybe years...a couple of days ago i bought my 5S and i thought that this should have pushed me to fix this and not just work around it...
so here's the deal MAIL APP, iPhone 5S 7.0.3
i have mail app setup with 5 gmail accounts, which receive and send email just fine, the problem comes when i need to check emails...here's what happens.
i open the mail app
SOMETIMES i see on the bottom "downloading 250 email" (50 last emails for 5 accounts).
IF im fast enough...i would be able to enter in my default account or "all mailboxes", if i wait like a couple of seconds, boom! all mailboxes and default account become unaccessibe (GREY, like in the screenshot)...and they stay like this
when i manage to access the "all mailboxes", i see a bunch of NO SENDER emails that appear and disappear after a few seconds, all dated 1.1.01 and the email conversations with more than 1 email, i would be able to tap it, it would get evidenced but it wouldn't open the email conversation, this happens sometimes, sometimes it opens...
i have tried searching this issue, but nothing seemed as this, only found some random use with the no sender or duplicate emails, not my case...no sender emails appear and go away in manner of 2 seconds.
workoround: Gmail app works just fine, but i would love to use the native mail app
screenshot attached, i hope someone can help here. I ave covered the rest of the email accounts, but i assure you that they are black and not grey like the top ones.

and so again happened, was sending an email from my default account and boom!!
however, the email was sent, then this happened. this time the emails are from the 70's, probably someone that decided to pull my leg seein me in the future...lol

  • Latest Mail.app strange behavior

    Hi,
    My Mac recently downloaded and upgraded my system to 10.10.1, and ever since Mail.app has really been annoying when I make it active from the Dock.  Prior to this release, I could select from among several mail account inboxes and that selection would stick across hides and opens.  Now however, Mail seems to think it's best to open with the selector bar highlighting "Inbox", which then displays all current inbox emails.
    Is there some way to defeat this problem?  I really don't want to have every inbox's contents displayed when I open Mail.  I go through them at different times according to the account.
    Mail Version 8.1 (1993)
    Many thanks,
    -Tod

  • All Mail.app messages (POP) gone and window will not open in new LION

    I have upgraded to Lion but now all my email messages seem to have disappeared. I have tried installing Postbox and using that. It works fine but Postbox cannot seem to locate my old email messages either.
    I'd prefer to use the Mail.app but cannot right now. Any clues as to what might be causing this?
    Thanks!!

    You’re welcome.
    Look for additional information that may be available in the form of error messages written to the Console:
    1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
    3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result.

    Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
    ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • VERY strange behavior-- desktop and dock are not working

    Hi all,
    My friends' macbook is really messed up and she doesn't have applecare. She is running 10.4.11 and suddenly her desktop stopped responding, and her dock disappeared. Specifically, her desktop is plain blue, and her folder icons are there but they can't be clicked on at all. The dock is missing but the menu on the top is fine. She can open up the finder and navigate to everything via the "go" menu and open everything-- all apps work etc.
    I tried going into the dock part of system preferences, and then system prefs crashes. I tried opening the activity monitor and quitting the "finder" process and that didn't help. The dock process doesn't show up at all.
    I also tried resetting the PRAM, repairing disk permissions, and booting in single-user mode and running fsck -y. Fsck -y gets stuck on "repairing B-Tree" and then says it can't repair the hard drive.
    So I put in her install DVD and tried to run disk utility from there. "Checking B-Tree" showed up in green for a while, and then I got a red error message that the HD could not be repaired.
    Now it doesn't boot at all (grey screen, and then it shuts down-- even in safe mode) AND when I try to run the install DVD, the HD doesn't show up as a destination folder. Yikes!
    Any advice on what I can try next so she doesn't have to take her computer into apple? She has everything backed up, at least!

    Hmmmm, if the drive isn't showing up it may be dead or dying, but Unfortunately, Disk Utility can't fix all that much, Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD though.

  • IMAP/Gmail/Mail.app strangeness: what am I doing wrong?

    I have two IMAP accounts on Gmail servers, one through my university and the other being my personal domain with Dreamhost.
    When mail is received on both accounts, it does not always go into the respective inboxes. Rather, it is directed to the respective "All Mail" folders, both in Mail.app and the Gmail web client. Therefore, most new mail does not actually register as new mail, and I receive neither visual indication of new mail from the Dock icon, nor the audio indication of the new mail sound.
    Aside from enabling IMAP access for both accounts, I have made no changes to the default Gmail configurations. I haven't added any folders that could have caused this, and I'm not using any smart folders in Mail.app. I'm using the standard mailbox configurations in Mail.app, with the default Gmail IMAP and SMTP servers and password auth.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I am having the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro, all of a sudden the password started rejecting and I cannot use that gmail account.  This appears to be a bug.  The quick fix was to set up another gmail account and forward the mail from the old gmail account to the new gmail account that works with the IMAP service.  This way the mail from the gmail account with the rejected password will still come through and appear in MAIL.

  • Mail.app using 80% CPU and won't quit - any ideas?

    Hi, I'll try and cut a short story shorter...
    I tried to begin using Mail.app last night instead of Entourage and Thunderbird just to see what it was like. Having never used mail.app before, I use the bundled import wizard to retrieve the settings from the Entourage account (POP, wifes ISP account) which seemed to work ok. I didn't test at this point as I have another account (POP again, my gMail) stored on Thunderbird which I also wanted to import.
    To import the mailboxs from Thunderbird I copied the relevant folders from the ~\Library...\myprofile\... folder to the desktop and added the .mbox extension. Then used the import wizard 'other' option to bring them in.
    All seemed to go ok. I recreated my 'other' account manually and sent/received some test mails etc. then marked everyting in all mailboxes as read.
    At this point the laptop went very slow so I checked Activity Viewer - this showed Mail.app hovering between 70% - 80%. I thought this was a bit odd so I tried to Quit Mail, but it just hung. I then force quit and the CPU calms down.
    I opened Mail again and it was ok for about 3 minutes until I try to view various mailboxes. Mail is still responsive but the mailboxes are empty! I use the rebuild function and they show the messages again, unless I look at a different one and then go back to the rebuilt mailbox - it's empty again.
    Then the CPU/won't quit happened again. CPU is up at the same levels, Mail.app has 7 threads. I thought there may be some indexing going on so I went to bed. I got up this morning to find the G4 fans going crazy and CPU still consuming the CPU?
    Any ideas?
    I'm thinking I may trash both accounts and rebuild from scratch tonight.

    Hi Ian.
    Aside from whatever the problem is here (which I don't really know), you shouldn't add an .mbox extension to mbox files in order to import them into Mail. Mail uses that extension for something else. Also, you'd get better results using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion.

  • [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?

    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.

  • Mail app freezes in white and quits in 5 seconds iphone6 Plus

    mail app freezes in white and quits in 5 seconds after launching it

  • 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.

  • Last time I synced with iTunes all apps (except the originals) and all the work I'd put in them got erased. Any way to stop that?

    Last time I synced with iTunes all apps (except the originals) and all the work I'd put in them got erased. Any way to stop that?

    Your apps didn't get erased.  They're still there in your iTunes Library, you just didn't tell iTunes to sync all Apps when you synced.  You have to either choose the specific apps you want to sync or say sync all apps.

  • How to recover address book and all mailbox data

    How to recover address book and all mailbox data, from mounted drive that had OS10.4.11 now has bad blocks, and is not boot-able.
    Any help would be appreciated.... hermann

    The drive is mounted (appears as a drive on the desktop)? You can't just copy the files, or is it not really mounted?
    It would help to have more details on the status of this drive since I am obviously confused as to whether or not it is mounted and appears on the desktop. Is this an internal or external drive? If internal, how are you booting your computer now?
    There are data recovery tools such as [Data Rescue II|http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php] or [FileSalvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1]. Both have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive as a destination drive for recovered files. If the critical files are located on the bad blocks then there isn't much hope other than to send the drive out to a professional data recovery service which could cost $1000.
    The easiest way to recover the files is to get them off a backup drive.

  • I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.

    I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.

    I've wondered about this issue as well. I have multiple email accounts, some old ones that I don't use much, others setup for support of particular projects/groups.
    I have no idea how and/or why some notes are linked to a particular account.
    I'd much prefer to have the ability to link all of them to an account of my choosing, thus when emailing from a note tied to a specific email account, that account would automatically be used to perform that email.
    But more importantly, why can't we be allowed to create 'folders' that function the same way as the Finder on my Mac. This file structure could then be accessed by every iOS app and device.
    This type of file structure would be a god-send for the camera roll on my phone. I HATE having all my pictures in one huge clump (cloud?)! After all, who wants to live under a cloud all the time?

    Did you get any help on this? From what I can see from surfing this site, it's a BUG that no one has offered a solution to. It sometimes happens after a 'reset' and going to ITunes does not offer a way to 'set up push notifications'.
