Mail is Not Responding upon adding ToDo item...

+ToDo integration in Mail: I didn't really use this feature in Mail before although have heard about it.+
The problem is that *Mail application hangs for no obvious reason once I try to add new ToDo item*. Cursor becomes a spinning wheel and nothing happens. It takes forever unless application is forced to quit.
Here some more details: iCal had google calendar (which I didn't even setup) since I am a GMail user (I guess it was created by Mail on a first day of Leopard installation) besides my local calendars. So, Mail application was attempting to add items there with no luck. It may had caused problem and Google Calendar was removed today by me from iCal for that reason. Problem remains open. Literally nothing changed.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Does anyone know how to resolve it?

Mail is really odd application (at least in case of ToDo items add).
1. New ToDo item is added into calendar specified in options ("On MyMac" or "on server") in case it is created with push onto "New ToDo" button without any server selected (aka non of emails is previewed|selected currently).
2. New ToDo is added into calendar that corresponds to current server in case mail is selected.
+Here is an Example:+
Problem: +GMail account is setup. Have an email from friend that asks to view some link. Want to do a ToDo item that would remind me about link in one or two days.+
_Solution A_: +select link inside mail and press ToDo. New event will be automatically added into corresponding GMail Calendar in iCal (Mail client is supposed to create calendar in iCal if one does not exist).+ BAAD
_Solution B_: +Select link and copy into clipboard. Unselect any mail (say, go to inbox folder without any server picked, or RSS - use any mean of doing that). Click ToDo button and create event. It will be added to whatever is specified in Preferences (say "On MyMac").+ GOOOOD

Restart the machine in Safe Mode and attempt to open each app. Also please explain exactly how you are attempting to open the apps. For example, "When I click the Safari icon on the Dock it bounces but does not open." To start in Safe Mode hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone unitl a progress bar appears.

Mail is not responding. Just a spinning rainbow wheel!

Hi can anyone help?
My mail is not responding, apart from the spinning wheel!
I have followed the instructions in this topic but cannot locate the following:

Any ideas - I am not a simpleton by any stretch and I have fixed this before, just running into problems this time!
Thanks

Hi Ella, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What else do you see in that Mail folder?

Mail Server Not Responding

I have my own mail server. When my iPhone is on the local WiFi, it can log in and read mail. When it is on the 3G connection, it gets the message 'The mail server "intellexcorp.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in the Mail settings.' The setttings are unchanged. There is no firewall on the server computer. I can't see why the same settings would have a problem connecting. No other services, including mail and remote access have a problem accessing this computer by name or by IP.
Please, do _NOT_ suggest that I check my settings. As I have said the same settings work fine on Wifi.

Reception is fine. Already tried a reboot. This is an ongoing problem over a period of months. I can't undestand why the 'outside of network' connection can't get to the server while the 'inside the network' can, since there is no firewall and the exact same settings. The mail server is not showing that it is blocking anything. Puzzling.

Mail does not respond when trying to set up new account

I'm trying to set up my brand new @me.com email account on my brand new Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I open Mail and it prompts me to write my name, email adress and password, which I do. Then, without fail, it says 'Searching for mail servers from the specified email address...' for a few seconds before freezing, with that message still displayed. I have to force quit Mail, which is said to be 'not responding'. Anyone know how to fix this?

Incoming Mail Server Not Responding

Hi from a Mac Newbie...
I am trying to set up multiple email acounts to be accessed by Mail, and keep getting the "The POP server “mail.hotmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable". The same for just hotmail.com. Once I get this to work I need to set up gmail, too.
Am I typing something in wrong?
Thanks

Has it worked before on the pad. If it has in the past, and does not now that means either the server is down or busy, just wait a while. or some how you have altered you name or password or some other server parameter inadvertently.
Third choice is you have dropped your Internet connection. Is anything else on the Internet working?
Try the same account from safari using web,ail, or from another computer. If it is down, it will be down there as well. If it works there, but not from the pad, recheck the parameters and your connection again.

Ipad mail app not responding

ipad mail app is not responding. The twirling circle just keeps going and nothing happens with the app, doesn't download any mail. WiFii is connected and working. I can go through the browser to gmail on the ipad and see messages but the mail app isn't working. Would like to reinstall it but it's not possible to delete it because it comes pre-installed on the ipad.

You can force quit it.
Double tap the home button. This will bring up a single row of app icons on the bottom of the screen. Find the mail one, hold down on it until it wiggles with a - sign in a red circle. Tap on that (doesn't delete, it quits it).
Click the home button again to exit that mode and then reopen your app. See if that clears it up.
What is your mail client? If it's yahoo, you may be experiencing one of their random outages.....they have been upgrading their service for months and when they're working on the part of the data base that holds your account it'll mess up until they stop messing with it.

Mail is "Not Responding"! Help!

I ran an automatic update last night, and when I woke up with morning my mail icon would not load. I tried reseting and restarting the computer but it just sits there with the pinwheel turning and nothing happens... even after several minutes. I have a blank Mail screen, and no messages. When I go to the activity monitor it says "Not responding".
I can get my email through mac.com... So I know I am getting emails and my account is still active.
Any ideas on what happened?

in case you need more info on Anthony's suggestion:
Open Preferences from within the Mail program and note the exact settings for your email accounts.
Quit Mail
Drag the following file to the desktop:
your home directory / Library / Preferences / com.apple.mail.plist
Restart Mail
Re-install your mail settings for at least one account
These actions will not interfere with your mailboxes, it will simply create a new plist preference file when you re-start Mail.
If that did not help, you can place back the .plist file so you have all your account settings back.
