MAIL failure to load after Lion upgrade - can't migrate data

I've posted information in a different forum, but I think that thread is dead so I wanted to post a fresh issue.
Here's the older post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16615578#16615578
Bascially, Mail won't migrate my data and it crashes before fully loading.
Summary from other thread:
- mail finishes inporting messages but then crashes when it hits the migration stage
- same issue after a fresh install and as a fully updated version
- did resert PRAM
- tried tossing Envelope files
- tried tossing V folder
- I tried one work around to test it and it worked, but it's a BAD alternative. I can move my Mail folder out of my library and re-open Mail. This starts with a clean slate. I added my Exchange/IMAP account to test. I'm sure I can import mailboxes one at a time. But I tried moving my signatures and that doesn't work. I may to do this option, but I'm worried that I will lose all the rules I developed over the last 6-7 years (approx?) adn signatures for each account.
- error log is on the link above
I would appreciate some help on this issue before I manually add all my emails. I have 140,000 emails in many folders from the last 10 years and it's not something I want to lose or have disorganize (including rules/signatures).

Problem Solved!
One of my mailboxes must have been corrupt in the migration phase or have some bad data.
Here's what I did to fix my Mail:
- all mail messages loading, but then it crashed during migration. This stage of the installation means that the "Envelope Index" file completes writing and a "V2-Temp.noindex" folder is created. This folder is used to build the mailbox environment.
- I checked the V2temp folder to see what transfered before crash and found that one of my old IMAP accounts was only halfed transferred in the temp folder.
- I tossed Envelope Index (and other "Envelope" named files) and V2-Temp.noindex into the trash
- I tossed the problem IMAP folder in the trash too (well actually to the desktop)
- I tossed out all the CalDAV crap.
- I relaunched and the folders, emails, signatures, rules, accounts all migrated properly after the mail databasr was imported to the new folder "V2"!
- A "Mail Lost+Found" folder was also created that I havent investigated yet.
Coming up next:
- a full backup of Mail!

Mail crash on startup after Lion upgrade (with my solution)

Hello,
I'm sure others will run in to the same scare I did when my mail would crash on startup after upgrading to Lion so I thought I would post my solution. It turns out a new mail app is installed with Lion but I had moved my previous mail app to a sub folder in my applications directory. After the upgrade the old version was not updated but the new version of Mail was installed in the Application root directory. Since my mail doc icon was still linked to my old Mail app it was crashing on startup. I deleted my old mail app, clicked on the new Mail app that was installed in my Application root directory, let the mail database update and all seems well now.
This is the second time I have been bitten by moving my Applications around. I have had a similar issue with iWork, and iPhoto. I guess the lesson is to leave your apps in your Application root directory.
Hope this helps someone else.

That you can create a new user and it works for them suggests it's some sort of corruption in your user profile.
Have you tried repairing the SharePoint Workspace/Office installation?

Mail won't send after Lion upgrade and AT&T won't help

I upgraded my new MBP to Lion and now I can't send mail if I'm on my network at home. After looking at other threads (like this one: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3192956) and based on the symptoms I'm having, I think the problem is likely an AT&T problem. When I use the Lion laptop on a different network, mail works and I can send mail with no problems. That suggests to me that the network is the issue.
I called AT&T to tell them this and they feel everything is working on their end so it must be my email client. They want to charge me to talk to tech support because I'm using an email client instead of their web interface.
Does anyone using AT&T have the same problem? Does anybody know how you get through to a big company like AT&T who isn't listening?

Hey Kerry,
Believe it or not, sending mail from home seems to now be working for me. The strange thing is that when I made the change I'll tell you about, it didn't work at first, but now it does. The only explanation I can think of is that I've rebooted my machine since I made the change and that seems to have made the difference.
Anyway, here's what I did. In Mail, go to File > Preferences > Accounts. Now, select the account in the left pane if it isn't already selected. In the main pane at the bottom you should see an option for TLS Certificate. Mine had 'None' selected so I opened the combo box and saw there was a certificate I could choose (just a big long string of numbers and letters). I chose that, saved my changes, and that was it.
Like I said, nothing changed immediately after I did this yesterday. But this morning, I can now send mail. So either this change (and a reboot) fixed the problem for me or coincidentally AT&T fixed the issue on their side - I don't know.
Give this a shot and let me know what happens.
Jim

Mail refuses to load after Lion.

Tried loading Mail and got dialog that said I needed to upgrade Mail messages etc. Started upgrading database then quits. In trying to reload I get a "Restore Windows" dialog that just results in spinning beach ball.
Mac Pro Mac OS X 10.7

Similar problem here too. Allowed Mail to upgrade messages and then it failed to show the message viewer after it completed.
I quit Mail. Restarted it. The application menu bar appears, but when I click on Window, Message Viewer, the message viewer doesn't appear. I've checked my spaces and can't see the main message viewer anywhere.
If I click on File, New Message, however, a new message window does appear. But if I click on File, New Viewer Window, the spinning beachball appears, Mail hangs, and I have to force quit.
I tried rebooting - that didn't help either.
Good job I have Sparrow Mail installed as a backup client.

Mail font not loading after OSX upgrade

The recipient header name font isn't loading properly in the main pane, even though the same font is used within the message. It's impossible to see who the message is from as it is showing as unicode random letters and numbers. If I click on the message the name shows fine. Help!

Hi Tom
Thanks so much for responding. I have done a safe reboot and it seems to have fixed the problem, whatever it was?!

Preview issue. Send to iPhoto option is grayed out after Lion upgrade

Preview issue. Send to iPhoto option is greyed out after Lion upgrade.
In Snow Leopard it was an option to send pics from Preview to iPhoto, but now it is greyed out if I right-click on the pic. I have searced and tried everything, but I cannot fix it, so does anyone have a fix for it? Please :-)

I can offer no help but would also like to see this issue resolved. Firstly, it would be useful to know if this problem is seen by everyone. When viewing photos in Preview, with thumbnails in the sidebar, right-clicking on any of the thumbnails results in this:
Prior to the upgrade to Lion, "Send to iPhoto" was not greyed out and worked as expected.

Safari Crashes on Opening after Lion upgrade!

I just upgraded to Lion, and I try to open Safari, but it crashes before it loads my homepage!
I had recently set my default browser to Chrome in Snow Leopard the other day pre-upgrade, could that have something to do with it?

I'm using SL and found the perfect solution. 1) Follow oh_okay 's instructions, 2) download and reinstall Lastpass, 3) Restart Safari 5.1 and all should work fine. With this lastest update to Safari Lastpass functions a bit differently, having it's own tool bar with the option to hide. You have to click on the grey star, which stays grey, when logged in. There may be a tweek for that, which I haven't gotten to yet.

I've actually just found a solution.
As it turns out, LastPass was causing my crashes, too.
I had to find my SIMBL folder (~Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/LastPass.bundle) and remove the LastPass plugin.
After that, all was well. Not sure if I need to reinstall LastPass now or just pay for (what I've heard is the far superior) 1Password.

Time Machine lost all backups after Lion upgrade

After Lion upgrade TM asked me to perform a 13 hours backup; I've agreed but now the oldest backup is 3 days ago. What is happened?
Please can somebody help me?
Thanks

I can't help here, but before I upgraded my old G5 (OS 10.5.8) TM popped up a message saying that old files had just been deleted. That was what TM does when its HD is getting full. But this was strange because I knew that I had lots of TM space, and since the last use of the conputer (about 2 hours before) I certainly had not saved to the internal HD several GB of files. To my astonishment, all but the last 4 weeks of files had been deleted, back to Jan 2010! GetInfo said that the space left was about the same as before the incident, whereas it should have shown a huge amount of free space.
I deleted all the remaining backup files and started again. It shook my confidence in TM's ability ot provide a reliable backup system. Now I regard it as a useful source of recovering old versions of files (eg., text, images etc.), rather than as a means to restore the system hard drive. Fortunately, I have been using Carbon Copy Cloner for years to make bootable backups of the whole system HD which can then be used, by simply cloning back to the system HD, to get back to work using the state of the HD when I last cloned. Alternately, the clone on the backup disc can be simply examined in the Finder to recover individual files.

I DVD Soft Frame template issue after Lion upgrade.

Hello, I've just updated my os to Lion but the Soft Frame template in iDVD, (7.1.2) is no longer working correctly. The light coloured background which covers the right hand side of the frame is missing and has been replaced with black. This issue effects sub menus as well. Existiting and new projects using Soft Frame suffer from this problem... Any ideas would be gratefully received! I have tried re installing iDVD but this had no effect.

OK I fixed it, sort of. The .tif file which provides the background image had disappeared. Even deleting IDVD and its themes and re-installing didn't work. So here's what I did:
1) Make a new background. This can be any graduated colour field which you can make on any paint programme such as GIMP. However I grabbed the background from the `Forever' theme which is beige and adjusted the hue to turn it from brown to the blue which was close to the old 'Soft Frame' backing.
Here's how to find the 'Forever' background:
Go to your hard disk and look for Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Forever-Main.theme
CTRL click on it and select `Show Package Contents'
Expand the contents folder and then the resources folder and look for the .tif file marked Forever-Background.tif
Drag this into your photo editing programme and change the colour to what you want.
Save the new file as tpt.tif on your desktop (there is a reason for this filename)
2) Replace the defective backgounds in the `Soft Frame' themes
Go to your hard disk and look for Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Chapters.theme
CTRL click on it and select `Show Package Contents'
Expand the contents folder then the resources folder and look for the file marked tpt.tif and delete it
Drag the tpt.tif file you saved to your desktop into the Resources folder
Now do the same thing in Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Extras.theme
And do the same thing in Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/iDVD7/Softframe-Main.theme
Next time you launch iDVD it will pick up the new backgrounds.
It took me about 10 minutes.
Now I've found where the backgrounds are stored (if you select Project...project info in the iDVD menu the media pane lists the full path) I realise it is easy to put your own backgrounds into any of the existing projects.
I hope this helps.

Garbled Audio After Lion Upgrade

I've scanned the forums, but the only audio bug I can find seems related, but not identical to mine. I just installed OS X Lion on my Mac Pro (2x2.66 GHz Dual-Score Zeon with 4GB Ram). Now all of a suddenly all my audio sounds garbled, almost inverted. Some musical elements are strong, but human voice is indecipherable. This is completely strange.
I've tried messing with preferences, and the Audio MIDI Setup like some others have suggested, but to no avail.
Help!
Sno

I also have popping/clicking in many forms of sound/video after Lion upgrade. iMac 2.66GHz Core 2 duo, 6g ram
Putting the computer to sleep and waking it works for a time, but it eventually returns.
A quicker fix which likely does the same thing is to send a kill -9 signal in Terminal.app to the "coreaudiod" process and force it to restart.
nestor:~ fbhjr$ ps aux | grep coreaudio _coreaudiod 60080 1.0 0.1 2453812 6436 ?? Ss 11:32AM 0:06.78 /usr/sbin/coreaudiod

TS3938 after lion upgrade, i need to upgrade to Office 2011 or iWork (Pages)..my desktop is from 2007. which should i try?

after lion upgrade, i need to upgrade to Office 2011 or iWork (Pages)..my desktop is from 2007. which should i try?

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

After lion upgrade time capsule no longer backs up

Time capsule no longer will back up after lion upgrade is anyone else having this problem?

The Time Machine application is part of the Lion operating system, so you will likely get a faster and more informed response if you post in the Lion support area for Time Machine. There are a number of posts there with issues similar to yours.
