Mail not crashing but not working

Today I noticed that I haven't received any emails in the past few days - hitting "Get Mail" does nothing other than a nice soft chime. I log on to Mobile Me - no recent mail. Then check my Ipad - nothing new.
I check "Connection Doctor" and everything is green. I repair permissions using Disk Utility - twice. I throw out the .plist file - nothing seems to work.
What else can I do? Should I reinstall Mail? I've backed my emails up so I'm not worried about losing anything.

Hmmmm, the chime & checking WebMail would seem to indicate you have none, but have you tried eMailing yourself anything?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

HT2216 I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly. That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse. Any clues?

I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly. That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse. I only have a previous version re-install disc as I bought the latest OSX off the app store. Any help gratefully received?

Hmmm, no, no drivers needed, now it sounds like a bad install... unless you might have some old Mouse software installed???
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

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:
"[email protected]":
SMTP error from remote server after RCPT command:

Lion 10.7 / pop mail not working...

on an intel mac pro... pop mail not working... problems with 110 port connecting to server... any suggestions?

The only possible way to get my mail working with Mac OS X 10.7.4 was to use Thunderbird (latest version, 13) instead of Apple Mail. I don't know if this was related to my ISP only but I'm surprised that there aren't more discussions about this problem. Apparently, it is very widespread from what my ISP said. They said there is a problem with (or change in) the way Apple Mail handles POP accounts under Mac OS X 10.7.x. They are getting dozens of calls about it every day. My POP account, which worked perfectly under Mac OS X 10.6.8, simply would not retrieve mail under Mac OS X 10.7.4 using the exact same settings. I tried absolutely everything that I could find on the Internet to resolve the problem in order to continue to use Apple Mail.
So for anyone else experiencing this problem, forget Apple Mail. Download Thunderbird and set up your POP account exactly as it was set up under Snow Leopard and your problem will be solved. Looks like Apple has some fixing to do. This is unacceptable, regardless of what Apple's excuse is or whatever their reason was for making this change.
I like Thunderbird. I'm actually kind of glad this happened now

Mail not working in new mini mac

i got new mini mac and mail not working. i get this message.
You have Mail version 4.2 (1078/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button.
dont know what to do
thanks

Should be Mail 4.5. With Spotlight, check to see if you have more than one version of the Mail app onboard. Also, make sure that there is one at the root level of the Applications folder, and that it is namely simply Mail before applying the Combo.

Mail not working after using migration assistant - what am I missing?

Mail not working after using migration assistant - what am I missing?

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

920 settings menu, mail, camera crashes but not al...

My 920 is doing weird things since last weekend.
I installed some weather apps and the new foursquare app and ever since then when freshly booted after some time my 920 decides to do some strange things:
It takes like 5-10 seconds to display the unlock screen
Screen is very dim
Some apps will no longer start
Email
Settings
Camera
Internet Explorer
and probably a few others.
Strangely enough most other apps will work fine (angry birds, wordament, calculator, nokia music, xbox music etc.)
Also email, calls etc will still be comin in (albeit I cannot open the emails). Also switching between applications is VERY slow when this happens.
I have since removed above mentioned apps (to no avail), rebooted (which helps for a short period)
Also i've been in a reboot loop of some kind for like half an hour where it would only show the nokia logo, reboot, show logo and so on. This booted through eventiually.
I have tried:
Soft reset
Settings->about->factory defaults, with backup restored
Hard reset through buttons method, with backup restored
Hard reset through buttons method, clean (so no backup restored)
Flashed the phone with the most recent firmware
All this has not helped and I cannot find the source of the problem, I've eliminated nearly all thinkable options.
disabled wifi
flight mode
stopped my mail accounts from syncing
disabled mail from my live ID
removed facebook account
removed skype
Under all these conditions the problem has come up, wheter I am using the phone at that particular time or not.
I am at a loss as what this could be and am on the verge of sending the phone back.
Does this problem sound familiar to anyone? And if so, some pointers?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This issue is really strange, Yesterday I used the phone the whole day with a fresh boot in the morning and a single "crash" in the evening and today it has already "crashed" 4 times within 2 hours. And a short boot loop of about 10 minutes.
I also noticed that the rotation sensors are not working anymore when the phone gets in this state.
Oh and I mentioned that the calculator seemd to work, but this is wrong. It also crashes.

Why is mail not working with gmail?

And not for nothin', it doesn't seem to be working at all as it used to.
Nearly every morning I come down and see the message that Mail has crashed... again.
I am beginning to really, really regret installing Mavericks and wish I could go back... but now important documents have been upgraded to the new Pages and Keynote so I'm stuck.
So... I'm discovering that my iPad and my MacAir are the only machines that will load my gmail. My iPhone won't and my iMac won't.
I have no confidence that things are synching across all Apple products.
I believe I have done all the updates.
This is not the standard we have relied on in the past (and I've been an Apple person since the Apple II).
Please help us...
I probably wouldn't even be using Gmail if Apple had not discontinued iDisk forcing me to go somewhere else for cloud storage. Still mourning that move.
RO

Sorry -- the fact is that there doesn't seem to be any logic to what is happening -- or rather not happening.
There are two issues and I don't know if they are related or not.
GMAIL and MAIL:
Works on my MacAir but NOT on my iMac. Both have OSX 10.9 with most recent updates.
Works on my iPad with exactly the same account configuration as my iPhone... where it doesn't work.
MAIL in general on my iMac:
From day one with Mavericks, Mail refuses to remember my iCloud login information.
It remembers my university's email config (@rwu.edu)
Nothing shows up under Gmail at all but it doesn't give me the Lightning symbol to tell me there's a problem.
Just about every morning I come back to my computer and there's an application crashed dialog box that tells me Mail unexpectedly quit and do I want to REOPEN. And when I do, I have to log in for my iCloud Mail to show up.
I assume that crash reports are automatically going to Apple... I don't get the option to send it to you.
Thanks in advance.
Addendum: I hesitate to delete the Gmail account from anywhere in case the result is that I will lose my ability to read Gmail on the two appliances where it is all working. That, and the fact that it is the end of the semester and I have 100 students emailing me everyday about last minute things and final exams. NOT the time to delete ANYTHING. But I might try next week...
