Mail hang during large message download

I've noticed several times when I get emails that either exceed the auto download size threshold, or have large attachments on them that Mail will 'hang' during the download. I can exit out of the message but it's still spinning away and won't get any more email from the server.
I'm using a Pop email account. The only fix I've found is to "magic power cycle" the mail app using the sleep button / home key hold down. Once mail starts after this the message will fully download. It's been happening for a while, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't a fluke.
Anyone else run across this & find an easier workaround?
Thanks,
Dave

I have been having no end of problems with email since upgrading to 10.5 about a month ago.
Generally, after some time, various activities hang around in the Activity window (such as "evaluating message n of m") and prevent normal email updates and quitting. Neither Apple support nor the local Apple Genius were able to assist. Even reinstalling the OS (10.5.2, 10.5.3, or 10.5.4) and rebuilding the user account manually did not work. I tried running "Sample Process" in Activity Monitor on Mail.app and noticed a lot of "semaphorewait_signaltrap"s that seemed to be related to AddressBook. This led me to the following process which has (at least for now) fixed my problem:
1. Quit (or Force Quit) Mail.
2. In Address Book, use File>Export>Address Book Archive... to dump the contents of the address book.
3. Quit Address Book
4. Rename your ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book folder to something else (in case you want to restore it later)
5. Start Address Book
6. Use File>Import>Address Book Archive... to restore the contents of the address book
It may be voodoo, but it worked for me.

Mail hangs when receiving messages

This past week, without any recent software/hardware changes or updates, Mail started hanging while new messages were coming in. I have three accounts set up-- two MobileMe which seem to not be the problem-- and one POP mail account with MSN. At first I thought the problem was a firewall issue because it happened on my laptop at work. However, when I bring the laptop (MBP) home and run it off Airport WiFi there, the problem persists, even though my home MacPro, set up the same way, works fine. Now, the only way to get out of Mail on my MBP is to force-quit. I've tried repairing permissions, replacing plists, deleting and re-creating mail accounts-- even transferring the working plist from my MacPro to my MBP. Regardless, incoming messages hang at "Incoming Message 16 of XX" with the kb/sec eventually slowing to 0.0 in the Mail Activity window. Anyone with a similar problem or luck with a fix? I'm running latest Mail and Snow Leopard versions.

I have exactly the same problem. I have two laptops, one running OS 10.6.2 and the other a G4 Powerbook running !0.5.8. On the Snow Leopard machine the iMap accounts (x4) are working fine, but hotmail mail and one Pop3 account both behave the same way - hanging indefinitely exactly half way through completion of the download of a couple of dozen emails, with download speed dropping to 0k. It has not been possible to download anything from either account now since November 6th. I have to check the mail on these two accounts via a web interface. The only solutions I have heard so far seem quite hit and miss. I am not particularly keen to do anything so radical as back up, reformat the hard drive, and re-instal the System / buy a new computer, or any of those other drastic fix-all-solutions sometims proposed when people cannot guess what is wrong. An informed work around would be very much appreciated.

Mail hanging during send with large attachments

Have been having this problem off and on since upgrading to Lion. When sending an email with a fairly large attachment (say, 6mb), Mail will just hang and never complete the send. My only work around is to delete the message from my outbox, shut down Mail and then resend the message through another client.
My mail data is hosted by Rackspace on Exchange Server. I can send the same message that hangs up in Mail via Rackspace's webmail app with no problem, so it's not a problem with my upload speed. I can also avoid this problem by using Outlook as the client, but I'd really prefer to use Mail. It's as if Mail just loses contact with the server and keeps trying to reestablish.
Are there any known issues with Lion and Rackspace's Exchange hosing?

Hi,
"embedded jpegs" is not good terminology. If the JPEGs are attachments, they are not embedded -- don't confuse embedded with View in Place, btw.
How large a JPEG have you been able to attach and sent? How is the computer connected -- wireless or via ethernet cable?

P45 Neo2-FR hangs during large file moves

Hello all,
I have a newly built system that I moved my old XP install onto. ( Removed old Video and hardware drivers then did a repair install on the new hardware. ) That process appears to have been successful. The system runs normally most of the time, including resource heavy 3D apps like SecondLife. I have also accumulated over 32 hours running memtest86 with no errors found. ( a 24 hours session and an 8+ hour one. )
During the upgrade/rebuild I backed up almost 0.5TB of data onto an external drive and I'm not trying to move those files onto the new RAID array or a partition on the main hard drive. During any large copy operation, the system locks up. It's usually several minutes into the copy, and a hard reset is required to recover. The external drive is formatted to FAT32, so I've already addressed file size limitations as I copied the data to the external. The external drive is USB/Firewire/eSATA, but so far I've only used USB on the new hardware due to a lack of cables.
Anyone seen something like this before ? I'd really like to get the files back onto my internal drives. The external is a loaner from a friend, so there's a little time pressure. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Todd

Update on this. I have not done a reinstall to date since I don't have a spare hard drive on which to do so.
However, I can eliminate a windows or driver problem from the list. I see exactly the same symptoms - random hangs of the machine - under Ubuntu 8 as well as windows. The Linux install is clean from a downloaded image and updated as recommended by the package manager.
It seems that the most likely time for the system to hang is during periods of intense IO activity. I had thought it was large file copies because that was what I was doing a lot of at the time of my original post.
I have tried moving my video card to the first PCI-X slot. No change.
I have removed 2 of the 4 memory modules, leaving 2x2Gb installed in bank 0. No change.
I have added extra fans - a large on on the side of the hard drive bay ( The case is an Antec Sonata III ) and a smaller fan aimed at the memory. No change.
I am using the J-micron Raid controller - is this still problematic ? I seem to recall some mentions of this.
Any suggestions to help isolate the problem would be appreciated.

Ipad mail hangs with large attachment

I've been really enjoying my iPad for the week that I have it now. Only trouble is that I have had to restart it four times so far, each time due to a large mail attachment that the mail app isn't willing to show. I don't know if there is any answer to this or if Apple will just have to fix this ?

Mine hangs when I check my email and somebody had the audacity to send a large email, like 5MB, sheesh people. I tried to clear it and it crashed. My iPad locked up tight. I tried to delete the email at first, then after a couple of minutes of the delete button froze highlighted I then did a power down from the Sleep/Wake button and then it locked up for about an hour (black screen and a spining wheel in the middle). Then I did a long (15 second) hold of the sleep wake button and it came back. Very scary!
Hello Apple? Are you listening, can you fix this/these problem(s)?

10.5.2 - Mail hangs; generally sluggish; messages don't display

Since upgrading to 10.5.2, I'm experiencing various issues with Mail.app:
• It takes a long time to launch, and often hangs without ever fully launching, requiring a force-quit and relaunch.
• After launching, there's a general sluggishness throughout the app. The initial "checking for mail" sequence takes forever -- sometimes never completing.
• Often, items I select take far longer than normal to display; messages I select aren't displayed at all; or mailboxes I select -- mailboxes that say they contain messages -- will display no messages. (This behavior is sometimes accompanied by the spinning beach ball, but not always.)
• I sometimes have to force-quit and relaunch 3 or 4 times before I can actually use the app.
Users on other forums have reported similar issues. Has anyone discovered a fix for these issues?
Otherwise, Apple, we really need assistance, here. Needless to say, this is severely disruptive to our workflow and everyday lives.

My issue turned out to be for more complex than I realized. In addition to Mail.app's sluggishness, all of my syncing (calendars, contacts, mail, bookmarks, iPhone) had also ground to a halt. In System Preferences>.Mac, I was unable to even select the "Sync" tab. (Doing so "crashed" the System Prefs window and made the processor run hot, which made the fan come on.) So, with Activity Monitor, I traced the problem to the Sync Server.
A search, here in the discussions, led me to several users who had identical symptoms after installing Leopard or a Leopard update -- but no solutions. Finally I went to another Apple-related forum and found a solution. Someone there wrote:
+"trashing the ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/ folder did it... Usually touching that folder brings good karma..."+
It seemed like a radical move, because on my MacBook Pro that folder contained over 500 megs of data (although I now suspect it was abnormally bloated). But I had everything backed up, so here's what I did:
1. I moved the folder, referenced above, to my desktop. (Note that "~" indicates your home folder.)
2. Restarted my macine.
3. Opened the .Mac preference pane, then clicked "Sync"
(Note: Previously, clicking "Sync" had been causing the Prefs window, so just being able to bring up that window was a huge victory.)
4. Clicked the "Advanced" button, selected the MacBook Pro, then clicked "Reset Sync Data" and made sure that I was replacing data on .Mac with the data from the computer (which I knew was good data). In other words, I made sure that the animated arrow was moving away from the computer and toward .Mac, indicating the direction of the data transfer.
(The folder I deleted in step 1 contained a lot of sync data. So without step #4, I was concerned that .Mac -- with its data having been deleted -- might have interpreted that as a signal to delete the data on the Mac. So I performed step #4 to make sure that didn't happen.)
5. Then I clicked "Sync now."
This was the first time I'd gotten sync to work for at least 36 hours. Also, after the sync was completed, the new "Local" folder, which replaced the one I deleted, only had 62 megs of data. Hence, my suspicion that the deleted folder was abnormally bloated.
So far so good.... I've got sync, and Mail is launching much more quickly now. Fingers crossed, but everything seems to be working well.

WRT350N chokes and hangs on large & fast downloads

I recently upgraded my internet speed service from my ISP (Brighthouse). They installed a gateway to replace their old modem, but I have had it bridged so it should act as a modem. Speedtest.net shows downloads on the order of 40-50 Mbps and uploads around 5 Mbps. If I try doing something interactively that pushes the speed and size of files (like flying over Google earth using my mouse to guide the direction and speed) my connection seems to hang. I have to reset the router (unpower and repower it) to get my internet connection to work. This has also happened when I quickly downloaded a series of large images - I click to get the next page fairly soon after the current page has finished downloaded. My router is a WRT350N. Any ideas?

There are certain reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. You could try tweaking the MTU value a little and see if it has any effect on the speed. To determine the correct MTU size for your network, you’ll have to do a specific ping test on the destination you’re trying to go to. A destination could be another computer, or a web address.
Here is the link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=80&re...
Second, check the computer if you are running Windows update on the back ground. If it is running then try to disable it temporarily. Here is the link for how to disable it: http://www.techtalkz.com/windows-7/515869-windows-update-enable-disable-automatic-updates-windows-7-...

Msmtp hangs sending large messages via google (imap)

messages without lots of attachments work fine;
when I attach a couple pictures, well within the 28Mb limit gmail imposes, msmtp does nothing: no data is sent (idle connection), no cpu being used.
I use mutt/muttng.
Anyone see this too?

I kept timing out when trying to send a mail with ~2MBs of attachments the other day. This happened both with Sylpheed and Thunderbird, so I had to use the gmail web interface to actually get the thing sent..

Lion Mail Server - Rejecting Large Messages

Hi
Am running Mail on Mac OS X Server Lion 10.7.5 (11G63).
We want to limit the incoming message size to 10MB (which we can do in the Mail Server | Settings | Quotas tab) but we are needing to send customers an email to say there mail has been rejected as they currently think the mail has been delivered.
Is there anywhere we can set up and edit an email response if the incoming mail exceeds 10MB?
Any help much appricated.
Carl

Your mailserver should give an error code to the senders mailserver typically reporting an error 552 "Message size exceeds fixed limit" or something similar. This is then normally delivered to the sender inbox. However you can't customise this.
Some mailservers are better than others at doing this. Try sending yourself a too big message and see what you get.
For your benefit a list of typical error codes and descriptions for SMTP is available here http://www.hmailserver.com/documentation/latest/?page=reference_error_messages_s mtp

Mail hangs at copying message to outbox

I seem to be getting mail, but all message sent today are not showing up in the Sent box, and I have muliple items in the activity viewer saysing the it is copying to the Outbox. This has been going on through two forece quits and one total restart. It has been going this way for over two hours now. Help. Mail version 2.07 on my Dual 2G G5. I also tried to rebuild mail boxes and it doesn't seem to respond.
D2G5 G4, PB800G4 MBPRO Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Was trying to forward an email with a pdf seemed to be the problem. No matter how many times I tried it, it just kept corrupting the outbox. Finally cut and pasted the message, and sent the pdf in a separate email and it worked. Never had that happen before and I deal with big files and PDFs everyday.

How to stop Mail hanging on open message?

I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 on a new (mid 2012) MacBook Air 11 inch.
I am having a strange problem: I cannot seem to close an open window inside
Mail, which displays an email. I've tried Force Quit several times, but no luck.
The event which triggered this was Latexian (a LaTeX editor), which crashed.
It generated a crash report, and opened a window in mail to which the report
was attached and addressed to [email protected] However, I cannot
send the mail, or close the window.
In Activity Monitor it is possible to send a signal to Mail process: Hangup,
Interrupt, Quit, Abort etc. Will one of these do the trick?
If this doesn't work, I'm going to have to take this in to the Genius Bar.
Thanks for any help.
Sandeep.

Thanks John,
The "When all else fails - pull the plug" method does work here. And I can see the logic behind your answer.
As this is not a frequent occurrence (thank heavens! - probably a bad hair day), I'll not take you up on the suggestion to remove the send button from view - but I appreciate your thoroughness.
Is there no software-driven way to remove mail from the sending mode?

Mail Hangs on Sending Messages, Occasionally Crashes, and Slowing Down

Hi All,
Mail has been responding slowly lately and I get the occassional odd crash at random times and for no apparent reason.
Today, however, I get the spinning beach ball of death when I try to respond to received mail. So I guess its time for a fix.
I repair permissions weekly (today in fact) and have reasonably small mail boxes.
I seem to recall reading about someone else with this problem, but can't find the thread any more.
All suggestions appreciated and thanks.

Why do I get a kernel panic during large downloads?

Since I got my new MacBook Pro, it's been doing kernel panics during large file downloads.
Getting rid of Chrome seemed to help but today the panics are back. I just started up in Safe Boot mode and the downloads (two files, approx. 500 and 300 MB, respectively) completed downloading without incident.
While I'm checking out my startup items, has anyone else seen this problem? I didn't have this problem with my Core 2 Duo.

I took a look at the dump and saw a reference to an Elmedia Player kext. I remembered that in another thread someone mentioned this giving some trouble, I uninstalled it. I'll keep an eye on it to see if the problem comes back.
Here's what I've got:

Mail.app shows large emails; no attachments

So I decided to backup my Gmail account by starting up Mail for the first time and syncing. I would like to archive all my emails and attachments so I can delete my Gmail account.
After about an hour when it was all done syncing up I noticed that some large emails (8-30mb) had no attachment icon or any files visible at all. I know for a fact that those emails indeed should have files because my Gmail account displays them without issue. The text in the emails is unaffected.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The conversation view is set to on, and I believe that it's always been set that way since I got a Gmail account back in 2006. So are you saying that when I view my Gmail account from within Mail.app the large messages without attachments are just part of the conversation and that the attachments are only present in the original message? If that's the case, does that mean that the message in Mail.app is not actually the size it says and is only referring to the first message's size? That doesn't quite add up because my Gmail (web) says that my account has used up 2.6gb of space while Mail.app has accumulated 14.69gb after syncing! However when I selected 'Archive Mailbox' in Mail.app the folder it created was 4.31gb. Something isn't adding up!

Mail hangs when downloading messages from Exchange

I've had the problem of Mail hanging when downloading from Exchange 2007, though from time to time it all works fine, suggesting all the settings are correct. Sometimes it will all work after a few forced quit- restart cycles, but this isn't reliable. Following advice on this forum I've trimmed the number of messages on the server (to c. 3,500), to no effect, and have deleted the Envelope Index file (which did temporarily alleviate the problem, but issues returned 24 hours later).
I see several errors are reported to Console which suggest a communication problem with EWS, and in particular an "id" issue, ("id is malformed" and a illegal temporary id is being used online) though I have no idea what id this is, or whether I can influence it in any way. Here are three exemplars:

Any help very welcome!

I finally called AppleCare again (after the first rep never got back to me), and we determined that somehow my Mail Rules had become corrupted. One of them (probably thanks to OmniFocus fiddling with my Mail rules) was caught in a loop that would keep repeating until it caused Mail to crash. I had to remove the "MessageRules.plist.backup" and "MessageRules.plist" files from my ~/Library/Mail folder, and then recreate all my rules, but that did the trick.
