Mail in os 10.8.4 will not work.

The mail program is locked on one message and will not respond. The time wheel is spinning for ever. Have aborted and restarted several times.

Do a backup.
Try reindexing your emails.
Reindex Email Messages
If that doesn't work take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
Copy the line below.
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
While holding down the option key, select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop.
You can import any emails you want, then delete the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.

You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Mail, iCal Server and iChat server will not work over VPN

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station at the office running the network. Behind it sits a Mac Mini Snow Leopard server running 10.6.3. The ports necessary for Mail, iCal Server and iChat work fine through that external connection. I can also connect with VPN from my 10.6.3 clients.
HOWEVER, when I connect with the VPN clients, I am suddenly unable to access the Mail, iCal Server, Wiki server and iChat server. All connections time out. I can ping the server and I can do other things that do NOT work on the public Airport like ssh or VNC. ssh and VNC are closed at the airport extreme.
So it's pretty odd. When I'm connected via the VPN, all ports that are forwarded to the Snow Leopard server time out over the VPN.
I've tried various and sundry configurations with the VPN client. This includes trying to send all traffic over the VPN, moving it up in the service order, etc. etc. Nothing fixes it. DNS resolution is working fine, however when I do a wireshark capture of ppp0 traffic, I notice that SSL and TLSv1 handshakes appear to occur on the public IP address instead of the private network IP address... and they're all resets.
Has anyone gotten this to work successfully? Like I said, all ports that are NOT forwarded through the Airport work fine over the VPN, but will not work when connected to the VPN. It's really bizarre.

New data: any ports that are normally forwarded on the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini server will not work when connected to the VPN.
For instance, if I have imaps/993 forwarded from the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini, it works fine over the Internet. If I connect to the VPN, I can connect to all OTHER services on the Mac Mini, but Mail, for instance, will not work.

Have you attempted a restore?

My Mac Mail subfolders on my MacBook Air will not sync in alphabetical order. I am assuming it is a setting that I am not finding since my iMac based at my home office is fine, so is my iPad and iPhone. The core source is Exchange.

If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

The mail app on my Mac laptop will not open. This began happening after an upgrade during which "Security UPdate 2012-004" was installed. My mail app has a new icon, and I think i trashed the old program (trying to follow directions). Suggest a fix?

Well, this is a recurring issue for many users...a small percentage of users but still a bug. Report the issue here to Apple: www.apple.com/feedback
iOS7.0.3 will be released next week, which as of now, I know is primarily for an iMessage but hopefully it will clear up some of these email issues some are also having.

Mail activity hangs endlessly. Safari will not quit

MacBook Pro, 16GB 10.9 Terabyte HD. Tried completely reinstalling Maverick, fix permissions, repair disk. Sometimes internet preference pane hangs and will not open. Hangs Safari as well. There must be unknown conflict? Problem seems to be related to a "remote server". Activity Monitor shows two Safari-related activities not responding. I have to force quit mail and safari to get the computer to shut down. In Internet Accounts, I disabled google and Yahoo. Have iCloud, and twitter. Other Apps seems to work ok. I have switched to Chrome instead instead of Safari because of Safari issues, but Mail still has endless activity and will not quit. Any ideas? should not have to force quit all of the time

The problems seems to be with the following, which is not responding in the Activity Monitor:
com.apple.preferences.internetaccounts.remoteservice
I cant find this file on my computer.

I have recently switched ISPs and have anew e-mail address but ThunderBird will not work with this address. Have tried tech staff with Bell to no avail

My old e-mail address was SHAW XXXXX.and worked very well with Thunder Bird mail. I recently switched to new ISP Bell and my new address is XXXXXX However with several attempts with techs ,Thunder Bird will not work with my new ISP. I had to start using Outlook.com and Outlook Express 6 for e-mail,but I really liked Thunder Bird and have numerous e-mails stored in it that I cannot import.
Outlook Express 6 is outdated and because I am running Windows XP it will not give me a newer version.I find Outlook.com confusing to me. Can you help

Why don't you tell us what you did and why it didn't work? Start from File/New/Existing Mail Account, enter your details, click Continue, then immediately click Manual config. On the next screen enter these settings:
incoming POP server: pophm.sympatico.ca
port: 995
Connection security: SSL/TLS
Authentication: Normal password
User name: your full email address
outgoing SMTP server: smtphm.sympatico.ca
port: 587 (or try 25)
Connection security: STARTTLS
Authentication: Normal password
User name: your full email address

Also, enable POP access as mentioned in the link.

hi guys,
what rraiszadeh and hambros said are correct.
go to your desktop, look for 'Macintosh HD' icon
[double click]
window opens.
look for 'system'
[double click]
double click on 'Library'
look for 'Frameworks'
click on drop down grey arrow.
double click on 'versions'
double click on 'A'
double click on 'resources'
you will find 'WIDGET SIMULATOR' in there
double click on it.
NEXT,
Go to Application/Preview, then right clicking on Preview and selecting "Show Package Contents." Then go to Contents/Plugins/Markup.
drag that icon into the opened 'widget simulator' program.
VOILA!

Add photos to iphoto in mail will not work

As above the save/add photos to iphoto will not work in mail. I have all the software up to date and this is a feature i always use, until now?
Has anybody got any suggestions please?

This has been reported by other Users, and I notice it myself. It is apparently a bug with the latest update they sent out for ML. In the meantime I am right clicking on the photo in email, selecting Save to Desktop, and from there dragging the photo into iPhoto successfully. A slow workaround, but hopefully we won't have to do this for too long before a bug fix.
Hope this helps

Seems that you have to update Logic to the latest version (9.0.15) to get it to work in Lion.

Apple Mail will not work without webmail login

Spontaneously 2 weeks ago I got a triangle next to my Apple Mail Inbox and could neither send nor receive email. I have used ATT for DSL and my email address for over two years without this problem. I have checked all my settings with ATT and they claim they have even "rebuilt" my mailbox and all is good. But unless I use a browser to log into webmail first, Mail will not work. The user name/password/port info is all correct, but Mail cannot connect. Even when the "keep me logged in" box is checked when I log in to webmail, Mail will stop working if I close out the browser and put the computer to sleep. This is driving me crazy.

I've had what sounds very similar issue with another DSL ISP: Qwest.
Ran both Comcast & Qwest simultaneously (alternately, not really concurrently)
for awhile & got sporadic blips & failures to connect.
I never could establish conclusively whether it was the ISP, or a local client problem.
I think its the ISP. Had other email annoyances with them that never quite got resolved
Sometimes my mail was left on the webmail server & never got delivered & would do so, same as you describe.
Its never anyone's fault, or problem...
I doubt they'd tell you if it was an issue on their end, if it not resolved.

Mail settings on itouch are identical to those on my computer except for imap on itouch and pop3 on computer. Itouch mail will not work at all
