Mail not working in maverick

My Mail app is not starting after installing Maverick

A general repair to fix odd behaviours in Mail is  Mailbox > Rebuild.
Another fix to try:
Shut down Mail.
In Finder, go to "~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/" (just do CMD+Shift+G and paste the path).
Move all "Envelope" files to your desktop.
Restart Mail and let it convert/reindex your mailboxes.
If this worked, Trash the Envelope files file that are on your desktop.
You can try restoring mail from a Time Machine backup.
Hold down the Option key and in the Finder Go > Library
Enter Time Machine.
Select a date before the Mavericks upgrade.
Restore Mail.

  • ICloud mail not working in Mavericks

    I can't add an iCloud mail address - it won't check it in preferences.  What should I do?

    Hi. I've already tried reinstalling it. But still find there's more bugs in it than what it's worth. I have to try to work out what the benefits of the update were and so I am unable to find a single benefit. I use FileMaker Pro which is an apple program. Since updating to mavericks I had to purchase the updated version of FileMaker which is the only one that works with mavericks. Having done that I have had problems with fonts not displaying. Contacted the very helpful FileMaker support who were also baffled but it was a known problem. The response that came back from apple - install Microsoft office as the fonts that that instals works with FileMaker. What a crazy response, unfortunately they didn't work even. I have been an apple user for almost 30 years and I can't remember a single OS update that has caused me so many problems as mavericks. No wonder it was free

  • Mac Mail not working after Mavericks upgrade

    After successfully updating to Mavericks, Mac Mail app does not launch (window does not appear on screen) and requires force quit to stop. I also have Outlook loaded and it started up and works fine.  I would rather use Mail. Anyone else have this issue?  Is there any easy fix?  The app doesn't launch completely so I can't clear any of the accounts to try to start Mail fresh.

    Here's my issue and how I fixed it. If you have this problem then try what I did.
    When I lauched Mail, it appeared like it opened but then wouldn't display any windows at all and wouldn't
    update my mail count on the icon.
    Within mail there is options to display. The setting was set to "assign to none". That makes mail appears as though it is not working and seemed to bottleneck how mail operates.
    In the dock - click and hold on Mail - open Options and chose the display you wish to assign the window to display
    mail.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mac mail not working after Mavericks 10.9.4 update

    Help! Mac Mail was working fine, on all 3 of my different email accounts, until I did the Mavericks 10.9.4 update yesterday. Now I cannot receive or send mail and it shows all accounts are offline. Connection doctor says it cannot connect to server. I am able to get online fine and I check with my provider Verizon and all is working perfectly with them......it must be something to do with the update that screwed something up. Any help or suggestions would be AWESOME!

  • Mail not working after Maverick update!

    I'm having a similar problem with Mail since the Maverick update.
    I can open mail but most of my mailboxes are missing and it won't let me click on any of the remaining ones.
    You can bring up any of the drop down menus and use as if it's working perfectly... but the mail window itself cannot be used?
    I have brought the Mail window up and then clicked on enter time machine but no back ups appear... i endlessly float through the background?!
    Everything else works on my Mac?
    Can anyone help or maybe seen a thread that would apply to my circumstances?
    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    I have installed Mavericks, but my mail, Version 7 (1822), will no longer get new mail from the server.
    I have to do it manually.
    Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

  • Mac Mail's smart mailbox's tagged-serach does not work in Mavericks.

    Smart mailbox's tagged-serach does not work in Mavericks.
    Tagged search such as "from:amazon OR from:yahoo" does not return any result in a smart mailbox. A strange thing is that it still works in the search box on the tool bar, but once the "Save" button is pressed to convert to a smart mailbox, it stops working.

  • IDVD is not working in Mavericks... what now?

    I am very upset that iDVD is not working in Mavericks! I need the ability to burn DVDs for family who is unable to access the internet. Any patches or fixes available to make this software usable again? I am very disappointed that Apple would do this without warning users that previously purchased software would be incompatible with the new OS.

    I am also having problems with iDVD under Mavericks. I have used iDVD for many years creating DVD's for family members and archiving our vacations. It worked great under Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion, but now Mavericks is a different situation.
    I have two basic problems, (1) after importing the video I want to use, I play it back to preview and a small band shows up at the top of the screen that is not in sync with the rest of the screen. And (2) when showing a slideshow using standard jpegs there are color issues on playback. Help,  I need my iDVD back!

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

  • 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.

  • I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data is not.) but

    I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

    HI Dave,
    I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
    I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
    Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
    Does it contain a table?
    How large?
    Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
    Do those other tabs contain a table?
    Have you checked those tables for data content?
    There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
    I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • I started to download Maverick but then read that Word and Excel do not work  with Maverick.  I hit pause on the download. How do I stop the download.  In non technical terms please!

    How do I stop the download of Maverick on my MacBookPro?  I started downloading then discovered that 2008 Word and Excel do not work  with Maverick. I have too many files in the 2008 version to upgrade them at this time.  I just need instructions in non technical terms to stop the Maverick download.

    I did the same as Tapmr and have paused the "upgrade".  So am I to understand that the upgrade only downloads and will not automatically install it?  I am an extreme novice here, and cannot afford any issues after I upgrade/download.  I don't know how to make a clone copy as you suggested either.
    I need assurance that if the upgrade is allowed to continue that I will be able to delete the upgrade downloaded and continue on as before with my regular system.

    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.
