MAIL DOESN'T QUIT: prediction for more trouble?

Hello,
I read another tread about the topic and followed some instructions as to rebuilt each of my mailboxes, including all the Trash and Send and Junk folders of all my accounts.
After doing all this Mail still doesn't quit without having to Force quit it. Is that problem the prediction for more important problems in the future? I need to resolve this. I just started using Mail a month ago.
The database I imported contained around three thousand emails, which I am now planning to clean up as the software doesn't crash on me like my previous email client Microsoft Entourage used to (did not support mailboxes over 2GB heavy, so this is why I use Mail now because it can manage emails better).
Please experts, bring us your expertise! Thank you for your reply.

Richard,
I located the bundle files and deleted the folder with the httpMail plug-in functions in it. I quit mail, it would not quit, I forced quit it.
I then tested and wrote myself a couple of emails, send them, received them (hey hey, another of my problems is apparently solved here: posted another tread regarding Mail not sending my emails), just to see if Mail could perform some operations after deleting the bundles. I then hit Apple Q and, Magic!
Mail now QUITS without Force quitting it. Wonderful. Hopefully problem won't come back as my email sending does at times...really strange. Moody Mail: just works when he feels like it!
Thanks again Richard,
Blessings,
Geneviève

Mail doesn't quit

Strangely, since I've upgraded my Macbook Air 2010/13" to Lion, mail doesn't quit anymore, I have to force quit.
Do I have to trash the plist and redo all the account settings or is there another simpler way?
thanks for the help.

Fixed with SL

Lion mail doesn't allow shortcuts for bold and italics.

Hi,
I've come across this problem in which Lion mail doesn't allow shortcuts for bold and italics. I try pressing the short cut for Command + B or Command + I
but it does not affect the text at all. I have to move my cursor to the Bold or Italic icon to change a particular word's form.
Of note, Command + U allows me to underline a word just fine. I also write my mail in the default Helvetica, and in size 12.
Anyone know of a solution? I'm pretty sure it's just a glitch, but it's become a great annoyance for me.
Thanks for your help!

Mail doesn't quit in Yosemite

For the past several days, Mail won't quit when I'm done with the app. I can sometimes select "quit", but the app doesn't actually quit. Sometimes the quit option is grayed out and not available for me to select in the app menu. Every time this has happened, I've had to force quit it. Once it locked up my computer so bad that I couldn't do anything anywhere, and had to unplug it. I waited a few minutes, and then plugged it back in & restarted it. Then everything was okay again, until the next time I tried to quit Mail, and again I couldn't quit. I seldom shut down my iMac. I usually let it sleep all night, but I don't keep apps running when I'm not using them. I check my Mail a few times a day, and then try to quit the Mail app, and run into this problem.

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 doesn't quit, clock frozen and spotlight not working. HP printer

After i installed the snow leopard the mail program doesn't quit and i have to force quit every time,
After startup the clock on the right upper corner stays on the same time i start the computer until i restart again and still has the time frozen of the last restart

The HP c3100 dosen't scan not manually nor auto, it says the printer is not recognizable to scan and i cant print with the icon on top i have to go to the file menu and print manually

Did you repair permissions on the hard drive after upgrading? How full is the hard drive? Did you use an original Apple disk for the upgrade?

Mail if no file available for more then 24 hours

Hi All,
I have one File to RFC scenario on PI7.1.
But now I have requirement that, I want to send error mail if file is not available for more then 1 day.
Can it be done in any SAP-PI standard way?
Or I need to write a small ABAP code on table SXMSPMAST to check if scenario runs in last 24 hour or not & then send alert mails?
Regards

Hi Rohan,
You need an ABAP code. There should be a table where you store all the file name PI receives and processes and the time and date when they have been received. The ABAP code will continuously check contents of the table and find out difference between current server time and date with the last entry in the table. If the difference is more than 24 hours then it will trigger emails to a fixed address or that may be obtained from a different table.
regards

Hi everyone i have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last long for more then hvvour. what should i do?

Hi everyone,
I have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last for more then two hour.
what should i do? it is seriously big problem.
Please help me.......

This is a general comment, not directed to anyone, and not to be taken personally by anyone. This ongoing screw up with the new upgrade (5.0.1) is getting to be a **** SHAME. In no way can APPLE or anyone else for that matter not know by now that the upgrade is terribly flawed. The Ipod machines themselves are super great products, and I enjoy mine to the max. However the upgrade once applied ruins it. And at least, not to my current knowledge, there haven't been any fixes forcoming.
In my opinion Apple should own up to that fact and warn folks that, even though the upgrade was presented with the best intentions, IT JUST AIN"T WORKING. And not to download it until further notice. This noticication could be done through the retail sales outlet, online, what ever.
I liken this to a pharmaceutical coming out with a new vaccine, encourage everyone to use it, then discover it's bad to the degree it causes it uses to become sick. Rather then pull the vaccine they keep on allowing unsuspecting ones to continue to vaccinate, and become sick. What a shame!

Mail doesn't save password for iCloud IMAP account (works fine with other email providers)

Mavericks Mail doesn't save the password for my iCloud IMAP account no matter how many times I enter it into Preferences or enter it when prompted. Doesn't seem to be saving in Keychain or wherever it should be saved. Passwords for all other email providers that I use are saved. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!!!!!

Great, thanks A LOT! Best answer on that issue and so simple!!!! Now it works perfectly fine

Help me ditch Outlook! Apple Mail doesn't display messages for all accounts. Thoughts?

I have two IMAP accounts, both GMail. One account always shows messages (Gmail in the screenshot below) but the other usually does not. I've deleted the account, rebuilt it etc and nothing works. When I do get messages to display, as soon as I change folders then go back the messages have disappeared again.
Both accounts are set up the same way. One the account that is not working (Ruddell Consulting in the screen shot), I see the total unread message count under the Mailboxes window but the sort column and preview windows are blank. When viewing the common inbox I only see mail from one account.
I'm trying to get rid of Outlook 2011 but with the same account settings in Outlook 2011 both accounts work as expected so I'm stuck with it until I can get this resolved.
Any thoughts?Thanks!
Jim

I found the problem. Or at least a workaround. I use Google Mail and some folders in my Gmail account were causing problems for Apple Mail. I removed the folders and Mail works as it should.

Mac bought friday,says the SSD memory is already finished, full, for more or less 100 GB of "other" but doesn't explain what it is... help please!

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Cannot Get Mail for more than 5 accounts at a time

I have a total of 9 POP email accounts setup in Mail. The problem is that my dedicated server doesn't allow for more than 5 simultaneous send/receives per IP (which unfortunately cannot be changed). When I click on "Get Mail", I see it tries to get mail for all accounts at once, and I need to somehow change that within Mail. Ideally I need it to check accounts individually or, as you can do in Entourage, group it into send/receive schedules with 4 per group.
I am desperate, someone please help!

If App Store has an app that can make, e.g., zip archives of multiple photos, then it could help (you package a bunch of photos in a zip file, and then you send only one attachment; the zip file).
Disclaimer: I don't know the App Store apps nor the iPhone SDK well enough to know if such an app exists or if it is even possible.

I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store.

I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was. I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.

The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist That will take you right to that file.
(.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.
It's fine to "unload"... we understand that you expect your iMac to be stable but there are times when things go awry. That's why we have these forums so that you can you get help.

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?

Try to force quit the mail app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

MAIL 5.2 DOESN'T QUIT, HAVE TO FORCE-QUIT EVERYTIME

it didn't use to happen before, but after some update or something, nowadays, whenever I close the mail window, and quit it, the window closes but the application doesn't quit.
I have to force-quit it everytime.
I have tried many things to solve it myself, but they didn't work.
So, I am in need of some guidance on how to solve this problem

It's not quitting because it's still closing the connections with your IMAP server(s).
I believe this is a bug as it is widely reported and I've had it myself, too. I'm not sure what the solution is, other than wait for Mountain Lion and Mail 6.0.
As a workaround, try turning off the Wifi on the menubar, and see if that allows Mail to quit, then turn the Wifi back on.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.
