Mail is utterly screwed up! HELP!!!!

Started with the font selector button and menu not responding. Okay I can live with that. Now, new mails in the inbox once read, still appear as new messages. If I move them to another mail box like the junk mail box they will then respond and appear as read. I tried to rebuild my inbox, I highlighted it, then went to mailbox menu, but rebuild is not active in that menu. I went to library>prefrences> com.apple.mail.plist and moved it to the desktop(with mail closed) restarted mail but mail does not prompt me to setup. All of my old mail boxes and messages reappear with the exception of one mail box. Freakin weird. Help!!!! Can I uninstall and reinstall mail and start fresh??? Some thing is corrupt and I have plenty of room on my hard drive so that is not causing a problem

Just an FYI - I have rebuilt and reinstalled mail as well as doing a complete archive and install of Leopard and mail will not send. I just loaded Thunderbird and imported my mail settings and it sends fine using the same info that Mail has so it is something in mail not .mac. I don't remember any mail updates recently - my issue started about 1/20.

  • Lenovo Refuses to mail me two screws!

    Hello all,
    I recently purchased a Lenovo G770 Laptop. It wouldn't boot, and gave me the error that there was no boot disk. I checked and the hard drive slipped loose since they forgot to screw it into the motherboard. I called Lenovo and they reefused to just mail me the screws. They stated that they have to wipe my hard drive to verify that it is not a software issue and that it would take 7-10 business days and that I would have to pay one way shipping since I bought an Essential Line Laptop instead of a Think-line laptop. They then said that they don't know what screw I would need. I looked at the repair manual and saw that I needed two "M2.5 x 4mm, flat-head, nylok-coated black Screws." Please help. If anyone has these screws or knows where to buy them, please let me know. Fry's, Micro Center and Radio Shack all do not carry them.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Another person who doesn't understand how to set CLASSPATH.
    Move those JARs into the same directory as your SendMailBean.java and do it like this:
    javac -classpath .;mail.jar;activation.jar -d . *.java
    java -classpath .;mail.jar;activation.jar SendMailBeanRead how to set CLASSPATH properly:

  • The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers.  This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs.  Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

    opps.  Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers.  This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs.  Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those.  Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads.  Problem still contintues.  Any suggestions?

    Folks,
    even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
    In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
    When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
    What else can be done to correct this problem?
    Thanks and best regards.

  • Can't send mail, get message: the smtp server rejected the password. I tried lock and unlock keychain. I tried unlock captcha. Gmail works okay, it is Mail that does not. Help!! :(

    Can't send mail, get message: the smtp server rejected the password. I tried lock and unlock keychain. I tried unlock captcha. Gmail works okay, it is Mail that does not. Help!!

    Hi
    You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password.  Some do, but many do not.  When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
    Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
    Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
    In the Account Information tab put the server name
    In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
    Good luck

  • Is something wrong with the new software update. My battery dies within 4 hours. There are also problems with my e-mail accounts. Can someone help me?

    Is something wrong with the new software update. My battery dies within 4 hours. There are also problems with my e-mail accounts. Can someone help me?

    Have you attempted an iTunes restore and setting up as a new device? Sometimes battery life issues can be caused by corrupted iOS software.

    Note that you lose privacy when using Gmail (and Yahoo):
    Gmail and Yahoo both scan users' emails. They do algorithmic analysis of your email messages, targeting ads that relate to the content of your messages. Defenders point out that "they", are not people, but machines. And they argue that it is a harmless way of making advertising relevant to users and raising revenues.
    Others might say that whether a machine or a human is doing the work, the potential for a privacy breach is there.
