Mail Application will not launch

At about the same time MobileMe began, I have been unable to launch my mail application. I click the icon and it bounces, but then it just stops bouncing without the program launching or the mail window opening.
I do not believe it is related to MobileMe, but the timing is coincidental. I have tried Apple Support but the replied with a canned, unrelated, and completely unhelpful answer. It looks like several people have encountered a similar problem, but there does not seem to be any resolution posted.
Please help! I hate the webmail access so much, I am about to drop my .mac account and go gmail!!

  • HT3159 Mail application will not launch

    Was trying to shut down the computer and a window said to quit Mail.  I did and it still would not shut down.  Then I tried to launch Mail again and it won't launch but can't figure how to relaunch Mail.

    You'll find various approaches to this in this thread:

  • Mail application will not open

    My mail application quit opening a few weeks ago. When I try to open it with the icon on the dock and in the finder the screen just blinks. Even my computer savvy wife cant figure it out. My next stop is the genius bar unless there are some geniuses here. I can still get mail via .mac log in but cannot send links or documents as the OS mail application will not open when I need to send them.
    Any suggestions????

    I would take your OS X installation disc and insert it in the drive, then restart the Mac and hold down the C key until you see the spinning cursor on screen. When it finishes loading, select Disk Utility from the Installer menu and first Repair Disk, then Repair Permissions, then reboot from your HD, eject the OS X disc and try Mail again.
    If that doesn't work, then the best thing in terms of time and effort would be to do an Archive and Install of OS X 10.5, with the Preserve Users and Network Settings option. This will install a new copy of 10.5, while preserving all of your current folders and applications, and moving all the old ones to a folder named Previous System. You can then use Software Update to bring it current to 10.5.3, run Repair Permissions when that's done, then Mail should work normally again. Once you've confirmed that and that all your other programs and files are intact and working, you can delete the Previous System folder.

    I have been working with cS4 for sometime now. I worked in dreamweaver last night and tried to open a file but it took forever so I tried to force quit  it. Still it was not responding so I shut my computer down and waited for 30 minutes. I tried to open it again but after i click the icon it jumps on the dock for a few seconds and goes away. Now All my other CS4 applications will not launch either. I tried to delete preferences but nothing so I uninstalled it. I just installed a fresh CS4 copy but it still will not work/launch. Thank you. I am using mac OS 10.5 Leopard. Never had a problem with any CS4 before. All my other applications work well only Adobe CS4 will not
    Please!!!!!! I really need your help guys!

  • Mail application will not answer

    Mail application will not answer.
    Lately I tried to solve a problem concerning Scandinavian letters. The thing is that Scandinavian letters in 'rich text' with Tiger Mail sometimes show up like Chinese signs or reversed questionmarks in Windows-recipients' mail.
    Tom Gewecke explained it is due to two bugs in mailprogram in outdated MS Outlook.
    I did what suggested. One of the suggesstions was to set Mail's default encoding to UTF-8. To do this I had to open Utilities/Terminal and type:
    'defaults write com.apple.mail NSPreferredMailCharset "UTF-8"'
    I also put in a dingbat character in every mail to WIN-recipients, which was another suggestion to force MS Outlok to identify and use UTF-8.
    This may have solved the problem so far. I think so.
    It may be a coincidence. But after a day or so my Mail app. have troubled me ever since.
    The application will not answer. It will not show the mails in the mailboxes.
    I can't read og send mails. I can't quit the application, but have to force-quit
    The connection to the internet is OK. Window/Mail-doctor shows there is connection to the internet. But in the Window/Activity the view shows that the activity is blocked.
    Please, anyone?!

    Hi again David.
    Thankyou for you support so far. Had to sleep and do stuff … problem transformed:
    1. Quit Mail if it's running.
    2. Move the entire Mail folder out of
    ~/Library/ -- be sure to not overwrite the
    backup copy you did before.
    3. Open Mail. If any of your POP accounts is
    configured to remove messages from the server right
    away, either tell Mail to go offline immediately
    after opening it, or shut down your Internet
    connection before opening Mail. Then, configure the
    account to leave Mail on the server for some time, so
    that we can later get rid of the newly created Mail
    folder without losing anything.
    Post back with your observations.
    :: I have done the three steps.
    :: Then I moved back all my original mailboxes to the Mail-folder just to find out that all the messages in them will not load in Mail app. when I open it. I have all my original named mailboxes visible in Mail, but the content of messages will not show.
    :: Other features in Mail are now at work: it opens and closes, I receive, send etc.
    :: In ~/User/Library/Mail/Mailboxes on the other hand I find all the earlier recorded messages as .emls-files. But they don't show in Mail app.
    :: Then I startede to import my messages from a copy of the removed and back-moved Mail-folder now placed on my external HD. This is extremely slow. Mail app. crashes again and again. Maybe because I have a huge pile of messages (more than 30.000).
    :: If I divide each of Message-folder in my Mailboxes in the Mail-folder into smaller portions of messages I can succeed in importing them, 5 by 5 or 10 by 10. This off course is very, very time-consuming.
    :: Lately the Import-folder generated by import in Mail app. disappeared! Again and agian it does not show by import. So I can't use this feature at the moment. Why does it disappear?
    :: So how can I make the messages — which are present in the in ~/User/Library/… — visible in Mail app. again?
    :: How can I make a better record and archive-system of my messages, maybe year by year (without having to save each one of them as RTF-files)?
    Thankyou,

    Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.

    Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

    I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first.

    Mail application will not update new messages

    If you have Webmail access you might check that, sometimes a malformed email can clog the system.
    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 these 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...

  • Mail Application will not open after 10.6.8 update

    So, I'm currently trying to update my parent's computer and in the process of updating their Mail application it has become unusable.  My computer at home (not my parents computer) ran into the same problem before I updated to Lion and deleting the preferences for Mail solved it.  Plus, I have read previous posts about this similar problem and a typical troubleshooting solution was to delete the Mail preferences.
    After all of my software updates (Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and deleting the preferences for Mail, I still receive the same error message when trying to open the application.  "Mail can't be used on this version of mac OS X.  Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications foler on your computer."  My applications folder has not been adjusted, edited or even touched from it's original state in the dock/home folder.
    I contacted AppleCare support and they advised me to reformat my computer.  I think that's a little... unneccesary??  It's just Mail that isn't working.  The rest of the applications (e.g. Safari, Address Book, iPhoto, etc.) open just fine.
    Anyway, do you have any advice or insight to my problem here?
    Much appreciated!  Thanks!

    After a second call to AppleCare, they had advised me differently than before.  Once they found out that my personal computer has Mac OS X Lion installed from the App Store, they suggested I simply upgrade my parents computer to Lion.
    So, I used my download from the App Store and upgraded.  It went smoothly, but Mail still will not open properly.  And instead of the original error message, it comes up with this:
    "Check with your developer to make sure Mail can work with your version of Mac OS X.  You may need to reinstall the application.  Check if there are any updates available for the application."
    How can I re-install just Mail?  A startup disk is not accessible for me right now.  Can I download the latest version of Mail and install it from the Apple.com website?

  • Application will not launch

    I have an application called sbcStudio that will not launch.  The Dock icon bounces, nothing happens, but the application is listed when I open Force Quit. This happens every time there is a new OS Software or Security Update.  I'm running Snow Leopard, and to get this program to launch again, I'm forced to reinstall OS X and then redownload the cumulative update package all over again.  I was able to open the application when I created a new user account, so I'm wondering if this is some sort of user specific permission issue?  Repairing permissions using Disk Utility doesn't solve the issue.  Neither does deleting appropriate .plist files.  What should I do?

    yes, multiple times.  Don't get anywhere useful as their reps are trained only on their own software, not on how it works with OS X.  I'm actually on hold again at the moment with them.

  • Applications will not launch

    After installing the 10.4.8 update, I have noticed that applications that I had previously installed before the update will no longer run. New downloads will also not run. I can extract the files, but clicking to run an application does not do anything. Looking at the Console utility, it logs a "crash" for application I try to unsuccessfully run.
    That said, applications that came installed with OS X are running fine (iPhoto, Safari, etc). My firefox web browser is also running fine. I have also managed to install a couple of other apps from the internet (Flickr Uploader for example), but by and large, any other applications will not run.
    Any ideas?

    Update prebinding Many cases of application launch-failure can be resolved easily by simply updating prebinding, via the following steps:
    1. Log in as an administrator
    2. Open the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities)
    3. Type: sudo update_prebinding -root / -force and press Return.
    4. When prompted for a password, enter your admin password, and press Return again. The process may take a few minutes, and you may see various messages flash by. The process is complete when the Terminal returns to a normal prompt.
    5. Type exit and press Return.
    Kill process in activity monitor Killing an application-related process via Activity Monitor (click the item then press the 'Quit Process' button) can allow proper application launch. This is especially applicable in situations where a restart cures problems with application launching, as the offending process(es) will, of course, be killed by the restart process.
    Launch Activity Monitor (located in Applications/Utilities), then find the process associated with the problematic application, then quit it and attempt re-launching the applications.
    Delete appropriate .plist files A non-launching application can be the result of a corrupt or otherwise defunct associated .plist file
    Most of the preferences files that we will be talking about are stored in a folder named Preferences, and located in the Library folder of your home directory, e.g.:
    * ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.
    Go to the ~/Library/Preferences folder, and search for any .plist files that may be associated with the application you are having trouble with. Drag the .plist file(s) [many applications have more than one associated .plist file, so be careful to scour for all of them] to the Desktop, then re-attempt launching the application.
    You can also use an application like Preferential Treatment to check for corrupt .plist files.
    Re-install the application Try re-installing your application from its original media or download source.
    If an Apple application or component is not launching properly, you might need to restore it from the Apple installation discs per the instructions in our tutorial "Re-installing Apple applications from a Mac OS X disc/update package using Pacifist."
    Clearing caches Try using a utility like Tiger Cache Cleaner, OnyX, or Cocktail to perform series of system cache deletion routines. Go from light, to medium to deep (the ordinal levels are defined differently in each application), checking to see if your afflicted application launches properly after each.
    Also, check the following folder for application-specific cache files that can be deleted, or at least temporarily removed:
    /Library/Application Support (look inside the folders here for files that end with .cache, and delete them)
    Make sure permissions are correct A range of permissions issues can effect Mac OS X applications, causing them not to launch.
    In these cases, the first thing to try is a disk permissions repair routine using Apple's Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities).
    Failing that, startup from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert it, then restart while holding down the "C" key). After the startup process is complete, go to the "Utilities" menu and select Disk Utility. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button.
    In some odd cases (usually after a backup or when transferring backed up data back to a startup device), permissions on the "MacOS" directory (the directory that normally stores the executable binary in a Mac OS X application) can become incorrect.
    In order to fix this problem, use the following steps:
    1. Click on the afflicted application to select it in the Finder
    2. Either click the application while holding the control key, or use the "Action" menu (the icon looks like a gear) to access the option "Show Package Contents"
    3. Open the "Contents" folder therein, and then find the "MacOS" folder
    4. Modify the permissions on this folder to give it "execute" permissions for all users. Do this by opening the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities) and typing the following command (don't press return afterward):
    5. sudo chmod 755
    6. After typing this, drag the "MacOS" folder to the Terminal window -- its path should appear. Press return, and you will be prompted for your administrator password, which you should enter.
    The "MacOS" directory should now have read, write and execute priveleges for the owner, and read and execute privileges for the group and others.
    Check CoreAudio As noted in Knowledge Base article #301658, some Apple applications might not open fully or at all if the Digidesign Core Audio driver has been installed as part of a Pro Tools version 6.9 installation.
    Apple says to follow these steps if you are affected by this issue:
    * Updating your Digidesign Core Audio driver may resolve the issue. You can find the latest versions for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) at http://digidesign.com/download/coreaudio. If that doesn't help, continue to step 2.
    * Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities).
    * Click the Audio Devices tab.
    * From the Default Output pop-up menu, choose Built-in Audio.
    Check for errant plug-ins Some application launch failures can be caused by problematic plug-ins or other add-ons. Safari and other Web browsers are notorious for suffering from this issue, as are some other extensible applications like iMovie.
    Check the following locations for any recently added files, or any files implicated in error messages generated when you attempt to launch the problematic application:
    * /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    * ~/Library/InputManagers
    Re-apply the Mac OS X combo updater Try re-applying the latest Mac OS X combo updater from Apple's software downloads page. Doing so can resolve issues with system components or delete specific files that can resolve application launching issues.
    Create a new user account Try creating a new user account, and check if the application launches under it. If so, a user-specific corruption issue is likely at play -- see the above sections regarding .plist files and caches.
    Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing an Archive and Install process, which will retain some user settings but otherwise leave you with a fresh Mac OS X installation.
    Also, check with the application's developer for compatibility notes regarding the version of Mac OS X you are running, and revert to an earlier iteration if necessary.

  • Muse mail link will not launch email client

    I have typed "mailto:info@unlockingequity" as a link to text in a footer on this website:
    http://www.unlockingequity.com
    but when you click on the link, it will not launch an email client, it just goes to a blank webpage. Help????
    Not crazy about the latest Muse update, seems like things that were working before (like FTP upload, now this) are not working now.

    The link to text in a footer on this website http://www.unlockingequity.com works perfectly fine. It might be due to the browser protected mode the link didn't work, brought up a blank page instead .
    Please try on different browsers and let me know how it goes.
    Thanks,
