Mail Import not working

Using DataRescue I recreated the mailboxes that were deleted inadvertently. I run the Import utility from Mail and upon successful completion, it says that the folders are now available under the Import folder. Alas there is no Import folder. Can anyone help shed some light on this? TIA

I can't answer, but have had the same problem. In my case, it was a mailbox that I inadvertently deleted and pulled out of a backup, so there shouldn't have been any data corruption. I only mention this because some people may write off your problem as corruption in the rescued data, but my mailbox also was supposedly placed into an Import folder, which doesn't actually exist anywhere that I can find. (Even in the ~/Library/Mail/ folder anywhere.)

Mail import not working - please help

Hi - I've read all the archive material I can find about "No valid Mail for Mac OS X files were found." and I'm still stumped.
I want to update Mail in my new Mac Mini with all the old emails from my old G4. These 8,000 old emails are accessible on my old G4 but I cannot import them. I transferred the old Library/Mail Folder containing all the emails to the Mini but no matter what I do I keep getting "No valid Mail for Mac OS X files were found." I've tried every folder in every layer, even tried over the network to the original files. I have permission to read/write the files.
By the way my old G4 will not go into Target mode for easy transfer via Migration Assistant so I've had to go this method, to my enormous chagrin!
What am I doing wrong? It's obviously something, but even 12 hours off and a good sleep didn't help...

Fixed!!
I needed an .emix to .mbox converter - http://www.cosmicsoft.net/emlxconvert.html
Mail 1.x stored mail in standard mbox format, but Mail 2.x doesn’t. The only way you might find Mail messages in a “recovered” mbox file is if it’s a Mail 1.x file that Mail 2.x left there after the conversion to the new .emlx format when/if you upgraded from Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier to Mac OS X 10.4.

Mail does not work

I have had this problem for few days now, the mail does not work.
It starts to run, but the colorful circle starts to spin and nothing else happens... I can not go to the preferences or anywhere else and it does not open my account. Only thing that I can do is force quit. I have tried everything I know; repaired permissions, run the cd to check the disk...
Does anyone know what I should do? This is the first time I have this kind of problem...

How many email accounts do you have setup, or are you still trying to get it to open so you can setup accounts? And you are still using 10.4.11 as it says in your profile, right?
If you've already repaired permissions and the disk, quit Mail and go to Users/username/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file, but +*don't delete the Trash*+. Then launch Mail and if it gets that far, let it import your mail messages, which shouldn't take too long. If that solves your problem, then you can empty the Trash.

Mail server not working after upgrade

After a few hours, my server finally came back up however mail is not working.
In the /var/log/mail.log I see many error messages related to the same thing from Postfix whenever an inbound mail is recieved.
May 24 06:26:22 my.server.com postfix/postscreen[25712]: CONNECT from [62.13.138.73]:64283 to [192.168.0.3]:25
May 24 06:26:22 my.server.com postfix/postscreen[25712]: fatal: error seeking /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta/postscreen_cache.db: Invalid argument
May 24 06:26:23 my.server.com postfix/master[54]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/postscreen pid 25712 exit status 1
Help!

I'd guess that the postscreen database is missing or corrupt.
please issue the following Terminal.app commands:
postconf -n -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/ | grep -i postscreen
postconf -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/ | grep -i postscreen
and anonymize the output if and as desired.   If you anonymize, please consistenty replace the domain portion of your URL(s) to example.com, example.net and/or example.org (these are RFC-reserved bogus domains) and replace the server's host name to something else if that's more sensitive than "mail" or "www" or "server" — consistency in these changes is important — and alter any IP addresses included (other than 127.0.0.1 / localhost) to 10.20.30.40 (or some other private IP address — again, consistency in these changes is important — and then post that output here.
Before making any changes, get a complete system backup or two, on an external disk. That's your path back if something here goes badly wrong, weird or otherwise untoward.
Once there are complete backups and entirely as a test / guess / experiment, I'd look to rename an existing postscreen database out of the way and see if a new cache database gets created, and would also check the file ownerships and protections of the files in that area.
$ sudo ls -ale@ /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta/
Password:
total 48
drwxr-x---   5 _postfix mail     170 Jan 30 15:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root      wheel    442 Jan 28 10:57 ..
-rw-------   1 _postfix mail      33 May 5 16:08 master.lock
-rw-------   1 _postfix mail   16384 May 24 08:22 postscreen_cache.db
-rw-------   1 _postfix mail    1024 May 24 10:04 prng_exch
$
The two files that are most interesting in the above are the . and postscreen_cache.db files.
There is also an upgrade log around, and you'll definitely want to have a look in that — to see what (else?) went wrong here. (Off the top, I don't recall the name of the upgrade log file. In recent releases, it's usually something like /var/log/install.log — also check the system logs for "upgrade" messages.)

Safari and mail does not work

Safari and mail is not working on my new iPad with iOS 5.1.1, tried every trick in the book but to no avail. Please suggest in case I want to update my ios5.1.1 as I fear that it might have corrupted somehow, what's the way to do it. I don't want to upgrade to higher iOS versions. Thanks

Close Safari and Mail app on the Task Bar and re-launch.
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold Safari and Mail app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

Mail is not working. The app opens because I see a light on under "Mail" in the dock.

Mail is not working. The app opens because I see a light on under "Mail" in the dock, and I see the menu at the top of my screen, but I don't see the app itself or any windows. It is like it is running in the background, but I can't see it. Everthing is subdued when I click on the choices up in the menu. I have tried "Force Quit" and then re-opening the mail app several times, and have rebooted my notebook twice. What is weird is that this started right after I changed my password in a browser (it is a gmail account). I went into the System Preferences on my MacBook and changed my password there as well, so it should be setup properly to open. I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. Any help anyone can provide is much appreciated.

Mail search not working + Spotlight keeps indexing

I have an old problem that has resurfaced after creating a new user on my Mac. Mail search brings no results and Spotlight is constantly indexing - day in, day out. It never seems to get there. I tried turning my hard drive to private in Spotlight settings and then taking it out. Previously Spotlight seemed to get bogged down with external drives now it's stuck indexing my Mac.
Any advice? Is there a way I get unstick this?

I can't believe that Apple have STILL not sorted this out. I haven't created a new user (so it's nothing to do with that), but Mail.app won't find anything when searching "Entire Message" in the current Mailbox or in "All Mailboxes". This has been ongoing since Leopard was first released, and we are now up to 10.5.8 without this being fixed.

Hi Pradeep,
Can you send e-mail at all from the ssm 4.0 ? Are there any mail hanging in scott ? Are the MTE's reporting at all? May be a stupid one but you say
I have set Z_ccms_Onalert_email with the following parameter
and then

But the e-mails are not triggered.
Is the no Z_ a typo in the post or is this a typo in you're system ??

My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices, It attempts to download new email but then stops. Any ideas?

My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices, It attempts to download new email but then stops. Any ideas?

I, too, am having a problem with my Yahoo email account on my first generation IPad. I can't download my emails to my IPad from the server. The IPad looks like it's trying to download them but can't do it. I am able to send emails from my IPad with my Yahoo account.
This problem started yesterday, Aug., 25th, the day after I uploaded the last update from Apple. I am able to set up another email account through Sbcglobal that will download my emails to my IPad but it is not sync'ed with my desktop mail which creates a mess when I move or delete emails.
I've tried deleting my Yahoo account and then adding it back. Also I've reset my IPad and I've done a full restore.
I think it has something to do with the last update, which I believe was a security update, which may have reset the firewall. That's just a guess.
Has anyone figures out anything else?

Upgraded to OS X 10.5.6 - Now Mail is not working.

I recently upgraded to OS X 10.5.6. Everythingwent just fine, but Mail is not working. None of my old messages show up, nor am I able to send or receive mail. My old folders are displayed, but no messages are in there either.
I use a POP account. I verified the settings with the service provider website and all of it is by the book. These same settings were used with the old version of Mail with no problems, but its just nor working anymore!
Help!!!

sorry, I can not explain that. usually this would indicate that something is wrong with your account settings. you may want to try the following. copy your rogers inbox and sent mail to local mailboxes in "on my mac" section (make new mailboxes there). then delete rogers account and set it up from scratch. see if it works.
