Mail is freezing

Ever since I installed Maverick, Mail has been acting strange. Hundreds of old email messages are re-downloaded (mostly from my Gmail account) and I can't quit the Mail application; it freezes. I have to force my laptop to shutdown.

Gmail is an intentionally broken implementation of IMAP that often causes problems with Mail. My recommendation is either not to use it at all, or to access it through the Gmail website. You may also get better results from another email client.
If you insist on trying to make Gmail work with Mail, the following blog posts may help:

Mail app freezes after first use on iPad 3 and ios 8.1. How to solve?

Apple mail app freezes after first use after reset. iPad 3 and IOS 8.1. How do resolve?

Hi, sixfinger.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try forcing all applications to close and restart the device. Once this is done test to see if the Mail app functions correctly.
iOS: Force an app to close

Mail account cannot update because home directory is full. But I can not get into mail without freezing. Is there a back door entry?

Do you mean that your startup disk is full?

Mail is freezing up on 1 email (that I've already deleted from my gmail)

The Situation:
I have mac mail set up to send/recieve from my gmail account. Usually it's all been working fine.
Problem:
Someone sent me 40 emails with a 20MB attachment in each email. Mac Mail now tries to download the messages but freezes up. I went into gmail and deleted the messages with the attachments. but Mac Mail still freezes whenever I try to get new mail from my gmail.
I've already used the "get account info" to delete messages from the server. Mail is just **** bent on pull these "unpullable" messages from my gmail account.
What do I do?

Yes I've restarted everything a few things..!
It's like Mac Mail has the large messages (or whatever it is that is clogging up the pipeline) cached somewhere and can't remove it from the stream. I'd delete the gmail mailbox from Mac Mail if that would fix it, but I am afraid I'll loose all my mail.
Thanks 2point5 !

IPad mail app freezing, need help

I've experienced my Mail app freezing twice in last two weeks in the middle of writing a mesage. I can't save it as a draft nor can send it, can't move to another folder. But if I leave the Mail app and go to gmail app it works. Anyone knows what's happening?
Thank you in forward for your help!

Have you tried the simple basic things?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail app and restart.Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button.Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
It is possible that you have an email in your inbox or trash folder that is causing the problem as well. Maybe an email with large attachment? If you have an email like that - try deleting it from the iPad. You may need to do that from the server in your webmail using a web browser if the mail app keeps frezzing on you.

Mail app freezes upon opening after Mavericks install

Following my installation of mavericks, apple mail app freezes upon opening. Windows do not open; program immediately begins "not responding." Having followed this with a force quit loop for a day, I installed airmail, a serviceable alternative, but not well integrated with address book. As such, I'm interested in finding a fix for mail app. Advice will be greatly appreciated.

I have same problem with my macbook pro 2009
Worked fine when first installed now mail app fails to open. Not the same issue as with macbook airs.

Mail constantly freezes

Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, which was shortly after it was released, Apple Mail constantly freezes. It's an odd sort of freeze in that I can still scroll through existing mail and can compose a new email. However, it doesn't bring in new mail and if I write a new email and try to send I just get the spinning beach ball and then have to force quite. Once it has hung up, it won't work again unless I completely restart my computer. What I have noticed is that the Mail hang often happens when I have InDesign open. Also if Mail is frozen, Safari seems to freeze at the same time.
Since there seems to be some correlation with InDesign, have been wondering if fonts might be an issue as I use Suitcase in conjunction with InDesign. Anyway, after the last Mavericks update it seems as if the freezing is now occurring even without InDesign being open and it happens on a daily basis, to the point where I'm about to give up on using Mail. When I first had the problem it seemed like it was related to Gmail accounts (I have 2 in my Mail Account), but from everything I have read this should have been solved.
Anyone have any thoughts on this problem. I've been a longtime Mac user and this is the first time I've ever had such a prolonged issue after an upgrade.

So just happened. Was in Lightroom and tried to email a photo. Grabbed items from console. Hopefully enough and not too much:

Why does my e-mail keep freezing up?

I Got a new iPad air 2 and my e-mail keeps freezing up. I have outlook. what can I do?

Try resetting your ipad or force closing the app
Reset
Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
Force close an app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

Why does yahoo mail keep freezing?

I am using Safari and yahoo mail, I can browse ok but when I try and check my emails yahoo mail keeps freezing on me?

did you get this figured out?

Mail app freezes! No mail! Mail settings, also!

Mail app freezes! No mail! Mail settings, also!

Maybe you can help me. We have been getting incorrect password alerts across all devices.. MacBookAir, iPhone 4 & 4s and iPad 2. We have aol , gmail and bellsouth email accts. the thing is they work and then don't work and back and forth every couple of days.. Very frustrating. Apple genius bar suggested the gmail acct over aol and said that should work but it happens on gmail also. When they aren't working the notice comes up repeatedly and when you put the pw in it still says it is wrong. And then it will work at some later point.

Mail app freezes in white and quits in 5 seconds iphone6 Plus

mail app freezes in white and quits in 5 seconds after launching it
tried closing the apps, "reboot" the iPhone6 plus deleted the actual emails from the web, deleted all email accounts on iPhone
even with no email account, still the same problem.

we have several intel and ppc mac's here and in our custumers, and they all started by a clean 10.5.x instalation, and progressive single updates to last 10.5.6.
we did not change anything since yesterday on the machines, and today they all suffer from this issue. even our custumers.

Mail is freezing a lot

Mail is freezing up very frequently, and I often have to Force Quit the program. Now I can't get into my Sent mailbox because Mail says it's "Rebuilding the table of contents . . . (12% done)" and it has been getting stuck on this exact phrase for several days. I have quit and reopened the program several times, but it keeps trying to rebuild the table of contents, and then everytime I try to get into my Sent box, it will say it is opening it, but nothing happens.
Can anyone give me advice about what's going on and what I can do to fix it?
Please reply to: [email protected]
Thanks

Jill,
Welcome to the Discussions.
If you are using 10.3.9, rather than 10.4 (Tiger) then it would be better to post in the forum for earlier Mail programs -- see:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=740
However, whether you respond here or in a new Topic there, do you know how large your Sent mailbox might be? You can check by using the Finder, to open Home/Library/Mail/your POP folder for this account, locating the Sent Messages.mbox folder, control-clicking over it, and choosing Get Info.
To open Mail without it freezing, you should try holding down the Shift key while clicking on the Mail Icon to launch it. However, there seems to be a problem with the Sent mailbox, but this does not mean the messages are lost.
More info, please.
Ernie

Mail keeps freezing and locking mac

I'm having issues since updating to lion 10.8.2. Mail keeps freezing, you force the application to quit and then you are unable to restart it. the mail icon just bounces up and down without the application opening. You try and restart or shut the computer down and it does nothing. The only way to fix things is to press the power button on the back of the screen and manually turn it off and on. If anyone can help that would be great????

Mail program freezing on me

I am unable to use my mail program. Whenever I access the software it freeze on me and I have to force quit. I tried reparing the disk both using the install apple disk and applejack. Still no luck. Any bright ideas out there?
Thanks
Luc

I am having the same problem with mail since yesterday and have spent much of yesterday and today sorting through forums to find this thread.
I, too, found that creating a new user eliminated the mail program freeze. The freeze comes and goes, perhaps lasting 30 seconds with a rhythmic hard drive sound. Force quitting mail immediately stops the rhythmic drive sound, but the freeze means you may have to wait 30-120 seconds to even get the force quit command to be able to be entered.
I had already tried removing com.apple.mail.plist without help
I did this because yesterday I had new freezing problems with Safari. Removing safari's com.apple.safari.plist eliminated the problem, but an hour later the problem had migrated to mail, and this migration really worries me.
I downloaded and ran Preferential Treatment this afternoon and it says all my preferences are OK.
I wanted to run disk utility off the DVD to check the drive (checked OK at the Apple Store a few weeks ago...problem then was a corrupted user, they did an archive and install as the computer wouldn't boot for me). Worked fine the last two weeks.
I have tried today to boot from my Tiger DVD while holding down C. It doesn't work. Also, if I just stick it in, it kicks it out. I checked the Apple help files for this. It recommended downloading superdriveFWUpdate since my PM G5 is an early model. Did this and when run it said I didn't need this. The only other advice that the site points to for problems booting from the DVD refers to 10.3.9 and before, and I'm running 10.4.9.
Do you have any other advice on how I am going to get my PM G5 to boot from the DVD to check the disk before going forward? Again, the folks at Apple Store Saddlecreek said the problem didn't appear to be disk related before, and was a bad user. unfortunately, the archive and install caused hours of work trying to set up syncing between my palm, .mac calendars on the G5, and iMac.
I started follwing the advice you'd given to Luc, to make a backup of ~/Library/Mail and the first time I did this I got a message "finder couldn't complete the operation because some data in "envelope index"couldn't be written" I took that doc and put it on the desktop, and tried again. This time I got the same message for "13052.emit"
What is your advice at this point?
Should I trash all the files in my ~library/mail folder or just some?
There's a file called LSMMap2 and one below it called LSMMap2.corrupt, in fact.
I have two email accounts, one of which has 60,000 plus emails for a newsgroup that I like to be able to go back into to do searches on previously discussed questions, but I do now have them on the other user account I set up on the computer today.
Thanks

How can I keep my iPhone 4 Mail from freezing & losing drafts?

I often send email from my iPhone (4 with iOS 5.0.1) only to find that the phone doesn't have a connection.
Often once it has a connection again, the mail program will never load -- instead freezing, the "load wheel" forever circling, "Checking for Mail..."
This is a big problem for the email I "sent" -- because without a connection it didn't save to the Outbox.
I have tried to solve it by saving my outgoing emails as drafts, but they don't save as drafts without a connection!? Why should the device require a connection to save a draft??
It's actually very similar to a problem I used to have with my iPhone 2's mail program. I searched for this topic before posting and I found other users had the previous problem too, in 2008: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1611568?start=0&tstart=0
Help?
Thanks in advance.

Contact Orange. Only they can unlock it.

Mail is freezing my whole computer

I feel as if I'm back using OS9. I've been fighting with this all day, as I'm getting sick of it - it's been going on for 2-3 weeks now.
As long as I'm actually using Mail it seems to be fine but if I leave the computer, whether Mail is the active appl'n or not, when I come back, the whole computer is hung and I have to force quit. I can move the mouse around, I can click to other appl'ns but I can't DO anything. I can get to the Finder but again, nothing works. I've hit the Force Quit key combination for 2 to 3 minutes at a time - nothing. The only solution is to force quit.
I've read these forums. I've verified my discs (all 4 of them: 1 internal, 3 external) I've repaired permissions using my installer disks at least 3 times (lost count). It still comes up saying there are permissions which need repairing but from another post on these forums they are innocuous and nothing to worry about (ie an iPhoto permission).
I've tried trashing my com.apple.mail.plist prefs and have rebuilt all my accounts TWICE today but then they don't work properly (can't send e-mails). I've tried restoring the prefs from TimeMachine, at which point Mail hangs immediately. What on EARTH is going on? Has anyone else been experiencing this? I'm wondering if there's any connection with the fact that 2 weeks ago I had my laptop hard drive and RAM upgraded. Could this have started the problems? I can't remember when I started having this freezing problem.
Having used a Mac for years (since 1986, I think) I know that they're pretty bullet-proof but at some point I'm sure it's going to say "enough is enough". I'm especially worried about my FilemakerPro files, as each time I open them after a crash they have to be rebuilt.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate hearing them. I'm ready to try pretty much anything! I'm also going to post this to the Leopard forum in case it's a system issue not triggered by Mail but from what I can see, it's Mail that's causing it.

Well Helen, feeling some pressure? I like your implication that you want to leave Apple over this, and that after 21 years, Apple now stinks. You may be right. Let's see.
How on EARTH did you get that idea from what I wrote??!!! You MUST be kidding because that's sure not what I said. What I said was that after 21 years of using Macs I know that they can take a lot of force quitting without trashing things.
Start by going to ~/Library/Preferences, trashing com.apple.finder.plist, and restarting.
I didn't think of that one - thanks, I'll try it.
If this fails, drag the entire Preference folder to the Desktop, and restart. Replace your Mail folder, and Mail preferences, and now see if the issue persists (If it does, the Preference folder can be replaced.
Hmmm. I'm not sure I'm following this. Wouldn't this totally mess up ALL my preferences for ALL my applications?
Note: You bet new RAM can be an issue. Know how to reseat it?
On a desktop tower type Mac, yes. On a laptop? No. I'm not sure I'd even want to try, to be honest. If that's necessary I'll just take it back to the service guy and have him do it.
Thanks for your suggestions.
