Mail from the January Upgrade crashes on launch

Hi Folks,
Having finally caved in and purchased the January upgrade last night (I was hoping for Apple to cave in first and make it free but I need to be able to access my mail when I'm away next week, so needs must) I cannot open Mail on the iPod touch.
When I click the icon on the home screen, it launches, shows the screen asking me which type of account I'd like to setup and then it crashes and dumps me back to the springboard. I gave up playing that game after a while and decided to try and set it up on my computer and sync the settings over. What happens now when I click the icon is it goes to a plain white screen with a grey/blue bar at the top and bottom, the bar at the bottom has an icon in the bottom left which looks like Safari's refresh button and a square with a pencil in it in the bottom right corner. That stays there for about a second and a half before crashing and going back to the springboard.
Having purchased the upgrade solely for the Mail program, I'm quite annoyed that it doesn't actually work.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? I've tried a complete restore but it didn't make any difference. Any other thoughts/suggestions please?

OK, no, it's the Home screen - hence the "Home" button.
Fair enough, it's just the crashlogs say the parent process is "Springboard"...mind you, regular OS X crashlogs list the parent process as "Windowserver" so I guess I stand corrected!
What have you tried so far?
Reset?
Yes...
Restore?
...and yes, although the last time I did it I was asked if I wanted to restore my settings from a backup, which I did. I assumed I'd lose the new apps if I did that? I'll have a look at other discussions here re losing the new apps with a restore, and maybe try it out and see what happens...

  • I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening

    I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

    If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
    If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests,  then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • Mail Won't Quit, and Keeps Reloading Old Mail from the Server

    I recently had an apparent laptop battery failure while in Mail (while on battery). The machine abruptly shut down with no warning with about 55% power still available. It did this subsequently at random power levels. But, it always worked on the line power adapter. There have been no recurrences with a new battery.
    Since I archive all my mail on my desktop machine, the laptop is set to NOT remove messages from the server after downloading.
    1. After the first power failure with Mail active, on restart I got message from Mail to the effect that there was something wrong with the mail indexing, and if I would do X (don't remember what), then it would be fixed. I did X, and the system came up.
    But, it had lost track of which messages had already been downloaded. Every time Mail was launched in downloaded the entire contents of the server spool, leading to massive duplications.
    2. Then I discovered that I could not quit the application. If you tried, the first time it would close the message window, but remain active on the menu bar, with the "Quit" box grayed out.
    I could force it to quit, but that may have been leading to it forgetting which mails it had already read.
    I have run the disk utility, including the permissions check, and it reports that all is well.
    I have reloaded Mail from the System disc, with no improvement.
    I have tried deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file. But when Mail opens and brings up the Setup window, it fails to find the outgoing mail server.
    Replacing the new plist with the original fixes the outgoing problem, but whether the new or old plist is in place, the multiple downloads and failing to quit both happen.
    Since all of these attempts, a new symptom has emerged:
    3. When dragging the Inbox messages to the trash (or using the Delete button), they do go to the trash, but remain in the inbox as well.
    Any thoughts?

    FYI: I found that there were two very-similarly-named folders in the users/(home)/Library/Mail folder.
    One was called: POP-(username)@(ISP popservername).(ISP domain).
    The other was called POP-(username)@(ISP popservername)@(ISP domain).
    They both contained some of the core mail boxes, e.g. Deleted Messages, INBOX, Junk etc.
    However, only one had the file: MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
    I copied the user mailboxes elsewhere and trashed these two folders. But opening Mail recreated them with all the same issues.
    I trashed them again, along with the (boot disk)/Library/Mail, and the (bootdisk)/Applications.Mail.app file.
    Then I reloaded the Mail app from the OS 10.5 Install DVD.
    Launching Mail and setting its preferences cleared up the problem. Only one of the pop folders showed up and it correctly tracked the already downloaded files, and quit normally when asked.

  • HT4859 After the i-cloud server issue Nov 26, 2012, I had to change some mail account settings to get my i-cloud mail to work again.  However, all of my received e-mails are gone.  How do I retrieve my e-mails from the server?

    After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail.  I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails.  However, all of my historical e-mails are gone.  How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

    What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

  • On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

    On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to filter out Junk as you do on a Mac?

    I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.

  • I want to have Mail list Received e-mails chronologically without attaching new e-mails received to older e-mails from the same recipient.  Is their a Preferences setting or a toggle to set this?

    I want to have Mail list Received e-mails chronologically without attaching new e-mails received to older e-mails from the same recipient/with the same title.  Is there a Preferences setting or a toggle to set this?

    View menu.
    Uncheck "Organize by Conversation."

    BTW: Mail is part of the bundled "System software" and is discussed in the community for your version of OS X:
    Mac OS X v10.7 Lion
    The link will take you there.
    Edit: I see someone has requested a transfer, and this conversation is now in the correct space.

  • I set up two identities, the default & one more. How to get mail from the second one?

    I have two different e-mail addresses that I want to get mail from. So the main/default one worked just fine. So I went to options, account settings, identities and set up the second one. But this second one doesn't appear on the start page and still when I Get Mail, it only brings in the mail from the default one. So what do I do?

    You do not place your second account in Identities.
    You go to the Menu Bar and select '''File-New-Existing Mail Account''' and add it there.
    No Menu Bar? Press the alt key.
    If using the '''AppMenu button''', click that and select''' New Message-Existing Mail Account'''

  • HT2500 how do i get my mail from the pop server to my inbox

    Can someone please help me ! I'm sure I did something by accident and don't know how to fix it. My problem is i don't see any emails in my inbox, however my account info says there is mail on the pop server. how do i get the mail from the pop server to my inbox?
    thank you for helping

    First try rebuilding your Inbox.
    Select the Inbox.
    Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Rebuild (last option in list)
    Note: If you delete a POP account in Mail, it will delete any messages in the Inbox. It does not delete your custom folders or your sent messages.
    If the messages have been deleted and are no longer on the server, you can restore from Time Machine.
    Let us know if this helps.
