Mail not closing - spinning beachball - can't delete - missing messages

Ever since the last update, my mail has totally messed up my computer. When it's open, it slows down my whole system.
My mail itself cannot be closed. I have to force close it. Messages cannot be deleted. My main POP account just spins and spins and spins like it's trying to retreive messages - but does nothing.
Once I force close - and then reopen - all the deleted messages are back and it has all my messages as unread.
HELP!!!!!

daidra, if you really followed T_Taz advice, you might be in trouble now. T_Taz doesn't know what he/she is talking about and he/she had already demonstrated that in another thread. Why some people think it's a good idea to give advice about things they don't understand, I don't know.
The first thing you should do now is to make sure you haven't screwed your whole system by moving the Fonts folder out of where it should be. Read the following article:
Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther
Which Fonts folder exactly is the one you've moved to the Desktop? Where is it now? Have you restarted after moving the folder back to where it should be?
When I went to verify/repair - it could not be
completed? Said something was wrong with my exit?
Verifying/repairing your disk is the first thing I told you to do. You replied without giving any indication of whether you had already done it or not. Did you really verify/repair your disk then? Has this problem appeared after moving the Fonts folder out of its place? What exactly is the error message Disk Utility is giving you?
PS: Thanks T_Taz, for making such a great contribution to this forum. The two posts you've made here so far have been wonderful...

    Locked on an update can mean a couple of different things. So there are a number of things to try, but start with these.
    If you have a "waiting" icon, try tapping on the icon and see if you can pause the update/download. Of it pauses, tap on it again and see if it will resume.
    Try holding down on the icon until all of the icons on the screen wiggle. If the X to delete pops up on the waiting/stalled app -  tap the X to delete the app. Tao,the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
    You can also try this and see if the downloads will resume. Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    I need to delete a calendar event that transfered to my 4S from my Droid phone. This event occurs yearly.  When I open this event, the edit button that normally appears in the upper right corner does not exist so I can't delete it.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

    uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
    ... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
    so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

    Same here. I can send mails from iCloud.com Webmail, but cannot receive.
    A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of
    its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address
    failed:

    Only by restoring a backup can you retrieve them.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • How can I delete text messages from my iphone?

    Hello everyone,
    How can I delete text messages from my iphone?  I do not want to reset my iphone setting. If it is nesscary to reset my iphone setting, will I lose everything?
    Please let me know,
    Thanks,

    Just delete them. Or, do you mean beyond just deleting them? Then, you'd need to wipe the phone - select Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. That's a secure wipe of the iPhone contents, takes several hours (connect to AC power). You'll need to set your phone up from scratch (and erase the old backup(s) from your computer, since your SMS history is part of the backup).

    To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
    The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Why we can't delete multiple message in iphone

    Hi,
    I have iphone 4S, IOS 5.1.1 . I am wondering for long time why in iphone i can't delete multiple message in a single. This looks to be a very basic requiremnt for most of us i guess. Any idea why it is not supported ? and any guess if it will be available in IOS 6 ?
    thanks....
    regards,
    rubesh

    I dont think there is a specific reason for this. If you feel this would be a good new feature, then let apple know. They have a page for feature requests: www.apple.com/feedback
