Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • Mail application quits unexpectedly when I go to launch it

    Cannot send problem to apple since the program isn't useable. When I attempt "relaunch" I get the same message again. It tells me "the application mail quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected"  Advice?/

  • Not all my messages are sinked when using IMAP and Gmail.

    This happens on all computers I've tested. I've tested 2 windows 7 64 bits and one windows vista 32 bit.
    I configure IMAP on my thunderbird client and most emails sink, but there is about a week or 2 that don't. This week or two is about 2 weeks before I sinked the new cliant to the server. For example, if I sinked today, august 27, emails between august 1 and 14 would not sink.
    Emails from 2 years ago and yesterday will sink just fine, it is always about that 2 week past mark where they don't sink.
    On one windows 7 that I sinked on august 14, the emails don't sink from July 15 to august 1 although they are there on the second computer.
    The emails are in my Gmail, so I've just been going into the online client to read them, but why would this be happening?

    You are low on memory.  Look in Options >Status and post the number you see next to "File Free."  Once you get that number, remove the battery and reinsert and post the number there after the reboot.  Then read the thread below to fix the problem for good:

  • How do I delete a message?  Using Imap and gmail

    I am using imap with gmail in apple mail for leopard. I get the idea that when you press the delete button it only deletes the inbox tag and it is still available for reference in "all mail" on the left window. I like this, it allows me to clear out my inbox and still reference e-mails later. Here is the question... How do I really delete a message, one I truly never care to see again? My "all mail" is getting out of control.

    This is what I do:
    In preferences, I set my Gmail account as recommended by Google: I UNcheck the "Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox" option under Mailbox Behaviors. Once I do that, clicking "Delete" from the inbox actually archives it into the All Mail, but leaves it in my mailbox.
    If there is an email I actually want to delete from my account, I move it from my Inbox to the Trash folder. I do this with a MailActOn keystroke, but you can do it just by moving it or dragging it there.
    MailActOn helps a bunch if you have a lot of emails. I process about 300 a day and rely on it for maintaining my sanity, especially since I can set the same keystroke to do different things in different accounts, since I "delete" and "archive" differently for different accounts.

  • FCE2 quits unexpectedly when using timeline scrubber

    Today my fce2 crashes left and right whenever I use the scrubber bar. This happens in both timeline and in viewer.
    If I avoid using the scrubber and use keyboard shortcuts, the problem does not show up.
    I removed the FCE plist and preferences files. Made no difference. Will repair permissions next but haven't done so yet.
    Anyone have any ideas? Never had this happen before.
    Thanks!

    Are you using 2.0.3? Where's the media? Where's the project file? What kind of drive? What's connected to the computer? How's everything connected?

  • Retrieving e-mail in Japan via WIFI using imap for gmail

    For some reason she can send out e-mails, but can not retrieve them. She is using WIFI so that she doesn't have to deal with data roaming charges. Why would she be able to send but not receive. She was told that the iPhone can't receive e-mail in Japan because of it having a different chip (believable if it was over the cell network but it is over WIFI.) Would it be possible that they would have the port blocked for receiving but not sending at the WIFI hot-spot?

    Yes, that's certainly possible.

  • Why does mail quit unexpectedly when I type fast?

    After installing Lion, the Apple Mail program quits unexpectedly when I am typing fast. I type at least 90 wpm. this happens two or more times per day.

    I don't know why it happens, but if you read messages around the iMovie Discussion Group it seems to happen to a lot of people. The easiest way around this is to Share to Media Browser instead of Share to iDVD directly. The Media Browser is a 'holding area' for video you want to use in other iLife Apps (including GarageBand and iDVD). When you Share to Media Browser, choose the Large size. Then let it run until it finishes. Quit iMovie.
    Open iDVD. Create a New Project, Select a Theme. Then click on the Media Button. Click on the Movies button below the Media Browser. Your project will now appear under the iMovie star icon just drag that project into the iDVD project window. This should bypass the problem you were having by sharing Directly to iDVD.
