Mail Freezes when sending forward or reply

Hi there,
Starting two days ago Mail.app has been freezing when I am trying to send a reply to a, or a forwarded, email. I have searched this discussion group and found a thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3272941&#3272941 , but I don't think that it applies to me because:
A. I'm working with a POP account, not a .Mac account.
B. If I'm reading the Hawkwings and Macgeekery stories cited in the thread correctly, they're talking about freezes when hitting the "forward" or "reply" buttons. My Mail.app freezes when I tell it to send the message.
C. Does not come out of beach ball mode. Must have to force quit to cure.
However I did take care to check my keychain to make sure that it wasn't checking .Mac and or for any certificates. It isn't. Also made sure that my preferred network connection was listed first. I also rebuilt my mailbox. What's really puzzling is that I can send new messages at will with no hassle.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Malcolm.
The fact that in your case Mail doesn’t freeze until hitting Send indicates that your problem is different, indeed.
Anyway, in addition to ensuring that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list in System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, try turning OFF all the port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Do you have any Mail plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/StartupItems/
/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.
<hr>
Try to obtain additional information as follows:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. If any, they may provide some clues.
<hr>
Try this to check whether the problem is system-wide:
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
3. Log in as the newly created user and set up Mail anew there.
4. For spam-related security reasons, go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
5. If you set up a POP account, go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced and disable Remove copy from server after retrieving a message if it’s enabled, to avoid messages being accidentally removed from the server while testing.
6. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.

Mail freezes when sending a message

Mail freezes for a few seconds when sending a message after upgrade to Mac OS X 10.9. I have a MacBook Pro Retina i5 8GB 256 SSD and this problem occur after install new MacOS.

Mail freezes when opening certain messages

I have a few messages that I cannot open on mail , when I click on them the searching wheel starts to spin and freezes there and I need to force quit mail.

I've had the same problem for a while and I think I might have found a solution. I posted the below in a different forum. Let us know if it works for you:
So, I was reading the following document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25717
and this got me thinking that it might be a font issue. So I followed the instructions and looked at the font I have set as my default font, in my case Trebuchet MS, using Font Book (in your applications folder). Anyway, I noticed that there were two copies of "regular" installed. I disabled one of them and then I was able to respond to an email that was hanging all morning!!!!
So, look at your fonts for anything that looks suspicious like corrupted fonts (see document link) or duplicate fonts, etc....
I will report back if my Mail problems comes back again.

High CPU usage when selecting certain emails

I experience (above) 100% CPU usage in Mail.app when selecting certain emails. Mostly emails from the same sender.
The emails contain MIME multipart data. One part is BASE64 encoded text, the other is quoted-printable encoded HTML.
I can see in the process trace that two threads seem to be thrashing around in MFRedundantTextIdentifier.
CPU usage goes up. I can still use the application (it is not blocked). But it cannot be quit normally (only with force quit).
Apple engineers: this must be something that you would wish to find and fix?
Any help with diagnosing would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely.

Maybe my initial post was not clear so let me add some clarifications.
I have the problem with Aero disabled
I have the problem on the Apple site which does not have any flash content.
I have already hacked the lastest nvidia drivers to get them on my system which did not change anything. Can you provide a link to some other 'supported' beta drivers?
I am using the new 13 inch air so it has the newer graphics card so I would expect it to be faster than an old HTPC with a 9400m in it. I wasn't stating that my Air had a 9400m.
It would be great if someone you also do the test to check the cpu load:
- when playing a 720 mkv
- when dragging a window across the screen
Just open task manager and see if the CPU spikes.
Many thanks!

My mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

my mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open Mail or Safari.

Mac Mail Freezes When I try to Delete Trash

Mac Mail Freezes when I try to delete trash. Spinning wheel of death goes for 10 - 15 minutes and freezes the entire computer. Please Help!

BDAqua -& Thoma_r - I did a safe boot, did repair permissions. 2 of the "Permission Differs" messages:
Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .
Permissions differ on "Library/Application Support/ProApps/Internal Plug-Ins/BrowserKit/iLife.bkplugin/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrwxr-xr-x . and around 30 more... Nothing about MacMail that I could tell.
There are 8 messages:
Group differs on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/CodeResources", should be 80, group is 0.
Went into Console and was very confused as the dates start 2000 and ends at 2010 and nothing I could decipher as MacMail.
Is this MacMail?

HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN SENDING AN EMAIL IT STATES IT DOES NOT ALLOW RELAYING

HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN SENDING AN EMAIL IT STATES IT DOES NOT ALLOW RELAYING

You have either entered the wrong SMTP server info or they have blocked the sending of e-mails from outside their network. That message indicates that you are not permitted to send through that server from the network you are using to connect.
Contact them again. There is no magic that will allow you to bypass this.

When sending an email I used to be able to add a distribution list from my contacts, I now have to add each email address individually, does anyone know how I can add the whole list?

When sending an email I used to be able to click on a distribution list in my contacts and it would add all the email addresses, I now have to add each email address individually and this takes a lot of time. Could someone tell me how I can add a distibution list/group to my emails?

Barney,
I have four groups.
I just typed the name of one of those groups in the To field on the iPhone's email, and received:
Invalid Address
"<group name>" does not appear to be a valid email address. Do you want to send it anyway?
I clicked continue and it remains in my outbox.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Mail freezes when I want to add an attachment with my mail.

Since I installed OS 10.9 mail freezes when I want to add an attachment with my mail. How can this be resolved?
My iMac is from mid 2007 with 4 GB internal memory and 1 TB of diskspace of which 45% is used.

Go to Settings>Store, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the ID you want to use.

If you delete email on your desktop using iCloud, they will be automatically deleted on the iPhone and iPad.
