Mail.app Unable to load NIB resource (null)

Can any experts help me?
I'm now getting this error popping up all the time in Mail.app.
I think it is related to some messing around I did trying to remove some duplicates to save drive space. Probably got too aggresssive! :-)
Anyway, appreciate someone with knowledge helping me to resolve this issue.
Thank you!

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
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.

  • Mail Unable to load nib file: MailViewer

    Mail decided not to work. looking at the console I get:
    Mail Unable to load nib file: MailViewer, exiting
    I read somewhere that it might have gotten corrupted, and that therefore I need to reinstall. Is there an easy way to install just Mail in its latest version and not go through (likely outdated) pkg installers? Even better, any other way of solving this problem?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Ivan

    I would say you have a serious issue with your hard drive. Consider doing a format with zero all data options enabled, and see if it pass. You might also consider buying some advanced disk repair utility to test (and repair ?) the drive (TechTool, DiskWarrior or Drive 10).
    Is there an (windows burnable) image "updated rescue disk"?
    No, the restore disk comes with each machine and is to keep in safe place.
    Use it to reinstall your system and apply the Mac OS Update via Software Update or using the same combo update.

    No other application issues that I've noticed; only quicktime is broken.

    Did you repair permissions & restart after the

    I tried repairing the permissions and QuickTime still failed to launch; however, I didn't think to restart the machine. But then I fired up TechTool and it found problems with the volume structure, repaired it, and all is good now. So I'm not sure if TechTool fixed the problem or if it was eventually restarting after repairing the permissions.

    Then it's a bug in the AIM IMAP server, please report it.
    I guess this deserves a FAQ entry. Here's what I'll add:
    Q: I can read messages from my IMAP server with other mail clients,
    but even though I can connect to the server using JavaMail, when I use
    JavaMail to read some messages it fails. Doesn't that mean there's a bug
    in JavaMail?
    A: No, not usually. Most other mail clients make very little
    use of the rich IMAP protocol. They use the IMAP protocol as little
    more than a variant of the POP3 protocol, typically downloading the
    entire message to the client and parsing it in the client. This allows
    them to avoid all sorts of parsing and protocol bugs in many IMAP
    servers, but of course it comes at the cost of being less efficient
    because they don't take advantage of the IMAP protocol's ability to
    fetch only the parts of the message that are needed. These server bugs
    often manifest themselves as the following exception on the client:
    javax.mail.MessagingException: Unable to load BODYSTRUCTURE
    The best approach when running into server bugs of this sort is to contact
    the vendor of the server and get them to fix their product. Contact
    [email protected] and we'll help you
    pinpoint the problem so that you can report it to the server vendor.
    If you can't get a fix from the server vendor, the following technique
    will often allow you to work around these server bugs:
        // Get the message object from the folder in the
        // usual way, for example:
        MimeMessage msg = (MimeMessage)folder.getMessage(n);
        // Use the MimeMessage copy constructor to make a copy
        // of the entire message, which will fetch the entire
        // message from the server and parse it on the client:
        MimeMessage cmsg = new MimeMessage(msg);
        // The cmsg object is disconnected from the server so
        // setFlags will have no effect (for example).  Use
        // the original msg object for such operations.  Use
        // the cmsg object to access the content of the message.

  • QuickTime fails to launch: "Unable to load nib file"

  • Mail index unable to load

    Greetings all,
    I am having problems opening my mail app on my macbook pro.
    unable to load my mail index, it will just lagged and hang after a moment.
    Please advise.
    Thank you

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Images in Yosemite mail app won't load?

    I recently upgraded from mountain lion to Yosemite on my 2012 21.5 iMac, everything seems to work except the images in my emails won't load. I have checked of the settings within the mail app and nothing seems to fix the issue. Could this be a Java issue? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Back up all data, then disable, or preferably get rid of, your third-party "firewall" or "security" software as directed by the developer. If you don't know which such software is installed, ask for further instructions.

  • Native Mail app unable to get new mail after updating to iOS 5.0.1

    Just after I installed 5.0.1 (OTA) I've noticed that native ios mail client is unable to get new mail messages anymore. I have three seperate mail accounts (Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud) connected to my iPad2 and none of them works after this software update. All I get is three seperate error messages (Cannot Get Mail) one after another for each account, same kinda of messages as you get once you try to open your Mail app with no internet connection, but this time it's not an issue as my iPad is connected to my home WiFi which is working just fine.
    I've tried to restart my device, checked mail settings, made sure all the passwords are ok by typing them once again for all the accounts and I managed to get confirmation that they're ok with no difficulties using the same device.
    All other apps that uses internet connection seems to be working with no problems as well.
    Screenshot: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/pauliaK/9c9c6d0c.jpg
    Any ideas?

    Once I got new mail messages to each mailbox it seems that everything got back to normal.

  • Mail: Unable to load nib file: MailViewer, exiting  How do I correct this?

  • Facebook app unable to load friends list

    Hello everyone. About 3 days ago my facebook app stopped loading my friends list. I get a message saying "your friends list is unavailable". Because of this, I've been unable to post on someones wall, send a msg, or poke. The only thing I can do is upate my status, upload photos, and respond to a post someone sends me. I've search for a fix but can't find one. I've restarted the phone, reinstalled the app. Nothing is fixing it.

    Only 2 things I can think of has worked for me when I had similar problem. 1. Clear Cache. 2. Log out of FB on your BB then log back in.  You get to both of these in FB by pressing the menu key then scroll down to options and select one. Hope this helps.
    Edit:  One afterthought was to go to My Account in FB on your pc and click on the  Mobile Tab. Then re-submit the mobile number for activation. It's worth a try.

  • Hybrid Remote App Unable to Access this resource

    I am having a difficult time getting my Hybrid remote app to authenticate properly. Configuration is as follows:
    Hybrid Remote App collection with S2S VPN between remote app VNet and Azure VNet following the guide:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2014/07/21/how-to-link-azure-remoteapp-to-an-existing-vnet.aspx
    Client Server model Application with the Client installed on custom remote app image and server side on azure Vnet along with a cloud DC
    DC Syncing with Azure AD using AAD Sync Services and utilizing the mail attribute for AAD Login ID
    Remote App deploys successfully and joins to the domain (I can see the computer objects in the specified OU). I am able to publish my apps an assign user access. I am also able login through the azure remote app application and see my published apps. 
    However once I try to launch the remote app it prompts me once again to login, which I do, then it hangs for a while before erroring out with the following message
    "An error occurred while remote desktop connection was accessing this resource. Retry the connection or contact your system administrator."
    Since this is a hybrid deployment I am able to login to the session host OS.  Whenever I do I am logged in with a temporary profile (I am not sure if this is normal or not).  I see very little in the event logs on the session host, nor the DC.
    I have verified connectivity between the remote app and the DC through ping both ways. The S2S VPN is up and functioning properly.  The session host and the DC have access to other domain resources and the web.  I have also seen documentation
    on a "'Known Issue" with this error related to large profile disks but this does not apply as I have never been able to successfully launch the app.  Any assistance with be greatly appreciated I am at my wits end. Please let me know
    if I can add any additional information that would help solve the issue.

    Hi,
    Do you have the User Principal Name (UPN) suffix that you are using configured in your Active Directory?  For example, say you use
    [email protected] for the initial sign on to Azure RemoteApp, and when you launch an application you also enter
    [email protected] in the second authentication prompt.  Is
    [email protected] a valid UPN in your cloud Active Directory--the AD that is hosted on your DCs?

  • IMac Intel, 10.4.11 - Mail suddenly unable to load images in message

    Problem with both Mail 2.1.1 and 2.1.3.

  • Mail app will not open

    I have just tried to change over to the Mail app instead of AOL mail, and I can't get Mail to open. I have installed the 10.4.7 update after repairing permissions, with no apps open. There appears to be no crash log, although I do get the following in the console log with repeated attempts to open Mail:

    As I have not been using Mail before, I don't know when this problem may have started.
    Mac Kerr
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I'm at a loss. It just doesn't make sense that neither properly reinstalling Mail nor repairing permissions can fix this. Not sure how to proceed about the duplicate fonts, as I don't know that much about font management. Is Mail the only application that's giving you problems?
    There is no need to move the preferences file to the Desktop if you want to reinstall Mac OS X using the Archive and Install option -- it would be a good idea to make a backup of the entire home folder first, though.
    Reinstalling Mac OS X shouldn't have to be necessary. There has to be a reason why this is happening...
    Could it be that you have more than one copy of the Mail application and are trying to open the bad one? Is Mail in the /Applications folder and only there? Have you tried opening Mail by double-clicking on it or just by clicking the icon in the Dock?
    In the Finder, go to /Library/Mail/ (i.e. the Mail folder within the Library folder at the root of the boot volume, not the one within your home folder). There should only be an AccountTypes folder there. Do you see something else? Do you see a Bundles folder, in particular?
    Try this:
    1. Go to /Applications/, locate Mail and move it to the Desktop.
    2. Go to /Library/Receipts/, locate Mail.pkg and move it to the Desktop.
    3. Reinstall Mail as described in Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4.
    4. Check that a new copy of Mail has been installed in /Applications/ and that a new copy of Mail.pkg has been written to /Library/Receipts/.
    5. Repair permissions.
    6. Reinstall the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update.
    7. Repair permissions.
