Mail does not work in Maverick

After upgrading to Maverick, it was all good until I tried to open Mail and recieved teh following message:-
The last time you opened Mail, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?
If I try to reopen as instructed I get into a loop that only ends in frustration.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Has anyone found a solution, or is it a known bug and will be fixed in the near future.
My son did not have this problem when he upgraded and the only difference we can see is that he uses a single screen and I use dual screens.
Thanks
Dave R

Found a solution to my problem by reading some other posts, the solution was to key
"defaults delete com.apple.mail"
into "Terminal" and enter.
and I have Mail working.
Now a happy Mac user again!

  • Maverick's Mail does not work with Gmail ! it works better with iOS 7

    For info.
    I do know how it's complex to program and more for an OS System.
    Maverick's Mail DOES NOT work proprely with Gmail boxes ? Gmail incoming or outcoming messages are correctly notified on my iPhone 5s with iOS 7. But not on my Macbook Pro retina (end 2012) with Mavericks. One update was suppose to solve the trouble.
    Hope you'll solve the problem as soon as possible. Bur not during the nights. But during your daytimes' work !
    Wish you nice end of year's days.
    And please get my best wishes for 2014. Hope you'll get a lot of these nice little moments of happiness.
    Best regards.

    Have you checked your incoming and outgoing mail server settings?
    If you are using IMAP, it should look something like the following:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    imap.gmail.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL:Yes
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS
    smtp.gmail.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Use same settings as incoming mail server
    If you are using POP3, it should look something like the following:
    Incoming mail server type: POP3
    Incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server: pop.gmail.com. Google Apps users, enter the server name provided, don't add your domain name in these steps.
              Port: 995
    Outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) name: smtp.gmail.com
         Port: 465
    Outgoing server requires authentication: enabled

  • Mac Mail's smart mailbox's tagged-serach does not work in Mavericks.

    Smart mailbox's tagged-serach does not work in Mavericks.
    Tagged search such as "from:amazon OR from:yahoo" does not return any result in a smart mailbox. A strange thing is that it still works in the search box on the tool bar, but once the "Save" button is pressed to convert to a smart mailbox, it stops working.

  • The search function on my "sent" mail does not work - can anyone help?

    The search function on my "sent" mail does not work. When I type in more than two letters into the saerch box - the sent mail screen goes blank. Any ideas how to fix this? Apple technical support has not been much help for the past five days...

    As this is the forum for the MacBook Pro hardware, your question will be better answered in the OS X Snow Leopard forum where the Mail app is discussed.

  • The "always match my default message font" option in the Signature preferences from Mac Mail does not work if e-mail is received in other Mail Software. How can I make it work?

    The "always match my default message font" option in the Signature preferences from Mac Mail does not work if e-mail is received in other Mail Software. How can I make it work?

    I found this plugin which solved pretty much all of my mail font rendering problems.  It is designed for Lion, so don't know whether it will work but thought I would offer it up.

  • Filter in mail does not work

    All of a sudden, filtering in Mail does not work.
    If I type a word that I KNOW appears in several emals, in the Search Mailbox field in the top right corner, it comes up empty.
    That happens even if I type the word "and".
    I have the All button selecterd.
    Is anyone else having this trouble?
    Thanks.

    OS X Server Lion

    Also, many of these emails use your friend's email address as the source email, so it will circumvent your attempts to filter by in address book.
    Take a look at the Raw source of the email and see if any of your conditions are being triggered as valid.

  • Photo browser in Mail does not work anymore

    Since upgrading from Leopard to Mt Lion, the photo browser in Mail does not work anymore and I also cannot drag and drop photos from iPhoto into Mail. Any idea how to solve ?

    Have been working with LarryHN in an iPhoto thread. He posted this SOLUTION. Yes!!!
    Try this - Download and reapply the latest iLife support update - iLife support 9.0.3 - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/ilifesupport903. html

  • I want to install an old airport express, the ones which are directly plugged into the socket - but it does not work with Maverick or Snow Leopard - can I configure it with a windows pc?

    I want to install an old airport express, the ones which are directly plugged into the socket - but it does not work with Maverick or Snow Leopard - can I configure it with a windows pc?

    The Mac running Snow Leopard should be able to configure virtually any version of the AirPort Express.
    Tell us what steps that you are taking to configure the Express and what happens after each step.

    Visual Voicemail is all carrier side, funny enough. Apple can't really do anything to troubleshoot it because it's outside of their realm. Be sure to contact your cellular carrier for further assistance

  • Mail does not work

    I have had this problem for few days now, the mail does not work.
    It starts to run, but the colorful circle starts to spin and nothing else happens... I can not go to the preferences or anywhere else and it does not open my account. Only thing that I can do is force quit. I have tried everything I know; repaired permissions, run the cd to check the disk...
    Does anyone know what I should do? This is the first time I have this kind of problem...

    How many email accounts do you have setup, or are you still trying to get it to open so you can setup accounts? And you are still using 10.4.11 as it says in your profile, right?
    If you've already repaired permissions and the disk, quit Mail and go to Users/username/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file, but +*don't delete the Trash*+. Then launch Mail and if it gets that far, let it import your mail messages, which shouldn't take too long. If that solves your problem, then you can empty the Trash.

  • My mail does not work

    My mail does not work; it opens for 1sec, then close?! I've tried closing it and rebooting...any idea?

    You have tried all three of these basic fixes?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit/close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If you try all three and still have no success you may have a corrupt email that you can try deleting from the server in your webmail using a browser.

  • TS3899 Since i have updated my iphone 5s to ios 8 or higher, the push mail does not work automatically, i have to refresh manually !

    Since i have updated my Iphone 5S to IOS8 or higher, the push mail does not work automatically, i have to refresh manually, I haven't this problem with earlier versions !
    I use Microsoft Exchange Mail server.
    Even with Iphone 5 and IOS8, the problem doesn't exist !

    Why would you expect it to work in 8.3, if it didn't work in a previous version? What troubleshooting have you done? Have you tried putting the car system into Pairing mode?
