Mail Problem After Leopard Upgrade

Upgraded an iMac 20" 2Gig (Intel Chip) 1 gig RAM from Tiger to Leopard. Did an Archive & Install. Mail will not configure. Gets to the outgoing server check & it just hangs.
Entourage works perfectly so I know the settings & ISP are OK.
Reloaded the System again with the same result.
All the latest upgrades were installed.
Won't let me get to accounts... The set up run asks for the info & when it hangs I have to cancel and the app quits.
This one is stumping me...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Richie

That did the trick... Really appreciate the help.... You'd think that Apple would post that issue.... It would have saved me a ton of time and aggravation. Thanks again....

Mail sick after Leopard upgrade

Hi everyone
I originally added my comments to another thread, but that person's problem has been solved, while mine has not, so I had better post separately.
I had no problems with Mail before I upgraded to Leopard. After I upgraded, Mail wouldn't boot. That turned out to be due to an older copy of Mail still being on my disk, and the Dock and Login Items calling it instead. Deleting the old copy and opening the new copy, so it could run its Leopard setup, fixed that problem. After that, Mail would boot.
However, I was unable to download any mail from my POP server. It worked fine before the upgrade, but wouldn't work after the upgrade. Similar to the other thread, the Activity window would say that messages were being downloaded (and SpamSieve would log them), but they would not appear in my Inbox. Strangely, mailing-list messages etc. filtered to other mailboxes would appear in those other mailboxes.
I have quite a few extra mailboxes. The Leopard upgrade has rearranged them. They used to be listed under the Inbox and Smart Mailboxes (I installed MailTags once, but had problems with it, so I uninstalled it, but the Smart Mailboxes I created remain). The whole hierarchy, from the top of the sidebar, was called "On My Mac".
After the Leopard upgrade, "On My Mac" no longer represents all my mailboxes. It has been shifted down the sidebar, and now only contains my extra mailboxes (mailing lists etc.). My Inbox, Sent, Trash, Junk and Smart Mailboxes are now separate categories to On My Mac, and listed above it. I have no idea if this is relevant or not, but I mention it in case.
Following a suggestion on this forum, I tried rebuilding my Inbox. Mail crashed. It crashes every time I try to Rebuild my Inbox. (Crash log: http://www.riverland.net.au/~clytie/Mail_rebuild.txt).
After my attempted Rebuild, my Inbox was empty. All my previous messages had disappeared. There are plenty of emix files in my ~/Library/Mail POP account folder, but oddly, they are very old, many from previous years. Yet I only keep a couple of months' emails in my Inbox! None of these recent mails remain.
I have turned off Time Machine, so I won't overwrite my previous backup. (I don't know enough about Time Machine's bevaviour yet to take any chances.) My previous backup shows emix files up to the day I upgraded to Leopard, but double-clicking on them only shows a title and an empty window. (This may be because they are on a separate disk to the Mail app.: I don't know.)
I noticed that the Activity window would get stuck downloading specific mails, so I got onto my ISP's Webmail, and deleted as many mails as I could (some mailing list mails, spam etc.). Rebooting Mail after that, I could download a few mails, but again the Activity window would show Mail stuck on another message (usually in the 50s or 60s: "downloading 52 of 694"). If I delete that message in my Webmail, Mail will get stuck on another message next time I Check Mail. (I tell the Activity window to Stop, and it says it is Stopping, but never finishes. I have to Force Quit to stop it. Is mdworker related to Mail?)
I don't know if these "blocking" messages have anything particular in common. My prefs on my MacBook or my ISP don't exclude messages on the basis of size, format or attachments.
I use SpamSieve, GrowlMail and PGPMail. SpamSieve appears to be working: it logs each message received, even though they don't appear in my Inbox. However, SpamSieve's Growl notifications don't appear. I am unsure if Growl is working with Mail, although it still shows up in the Mail prefs: it is working with Speed Download. PGPMail still shows up in the Prefs and menus, but not in the message windows.
I hope this information is useful. I don't know what to do from here. Thankyou for any help you can offer.

My question hasn't been answered here, but I seem to have found the answer myself, eventually.
I decided to move the GrowlMail and PGPMail mailbundles to the Bundles Disabled folder, plus delete my two remaining MailTags smart mailboxes from when I had MailTags installed, then restart.
Lo and behold, as my old Grannie always said, I could successfully rebuild my Inbox. All my much-regretted previous emails appeared again! It was an emotional reunion.
Then I tried checking mail, and LaB again, several days of mail came pouring in.
Evidently something to do with the mailbundles or old smart mailboxes was getting in the way of Mail function.
I'll try reintroducing each mailbundle. I hope nobody else has this problem, but just in case, I thought I'd better leave my belated solution.

ISync problems after Leopard upgrade...please help

I recently upgraded to Leopard. It worked fine on my laptop, but something went wrong with my mac mini. The only way it would install is with a complete reformatting...had everything backed up, so I figured why not. Here is my mess.
1. In iSync, my old Tiger mac mini is still registered and th e Leopard one is not syncing with that registration...it creates its own. Should I just delete both, reset the iSync with my laptop as the model and go from there?
2. iweb does not have my old web sites in it. They are in my iDrive, but i don't know how to get them back on iWeb. I created them on the mac mini, so would unregistering it make me loose them? Is there a way that I can get them on the laptop's iWeb?
3. My mail and safari fail to launch windows.....If I open a new window, I can see it listed, but I can't see it. What is up with this?
Can someone help?

I've already reset PRAM with the option,command,P,R keys... letting it chime a couple times... and have already done this many times over the last few days. Doesn't seem to help. I don't know how to reset NVRAM via open firmware and the instructions are vague. But, supposedly a PRAM reset is all you have to do.
If it is a heat problem, why would it only have presented itself directly after a Leopard upgrade? It also does it when I boot off the Leopard disk. Actually does it worse. I'd just get a new card if I wasn't suspicious about the Leopard upgrade... not convinced it's a hardware problem yet. Though the card is mounted on the bottom slot above the CPUs. It has a fan on top that appears to be working but it doesn't look like much clearance between the card and the top of the CPUs case.
I could move it up a slot to give it more air... but it still doesn't explain why until last Monday, it worked fine under Tiger.

Missing imported mail folders after Leopard upgrade

After upgrading to Leopard, my previously imported mail folders (from outlook express converted to .mbox) disappeared. I imported again with mixed results. One folder successfully imported but with 2 new but empty folders (at that point I had 3 folders on my mac). I tried to import the second file. It appeared to import, I can see the folder and number of messages but no way to access them. I can't open the folder. I tried it again with the same results. I had no problem accessing the same files prior to the Leopard upgrade. Any suggestions are welcome.
thanks,
Dana

I have Comcast email, and I never had a junk folder. However, if you did have these folders, go the preview window where you see all of your email accounts - The window that shows all,of your Mailboxes. Tap the Edit button to the right of the Mailboxes heading. See if the folders are in there.
You can also try closing the mail app and resetting the iPad to see if they reappear.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset 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.
BTW, creating a new draft email should make the folder appear again as well.

Problems after Leopard upgrade with ATI 9800 Pro 256MB

I don't know if this is related.. but I've been battling multiple problems ever since I upgraded my G5 to Leopard a week ago. Everything was perfect under Tiger.
The problem that only occurred directly after upgrading to Leopard... is that my graphics now get corrupted and garbled. I've got two video cards running two LCD monitors. The card giving me problems is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB). What happens is.. first all the window shadows and top menu bar start getting checkerboard patterns.. then the whole screen starts getting variants of different colors and checkerboard patterns. After awhile and refreshing the screen a few times... the problem goes away for a bit. Then comes back.
Again, this card and my entire system and drives were working fine under Tiger. Now, I don't know if I have a bad card? Is there something wrong with Leopard on my G5 2Ghz DP? Did my Maxtor 750GB triple interface drive just go bad with the upgrade?
I don't know where else to look, I'm guessing the "geniuses" at the Apple store won't help me since this machine is out of warranty. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I've been battling all these problems ever since I started the Leopard upgrade 4 days ago and have not got much sleep.

Odd Problems After Leopard Upgrade

I upgraded to Leopard a couple of weeks ago. All seemed fine until I began to notice a few odd things.....
1. Disk Permissions - If I select 'Verify/Repair Permissions' the disk utility began with the blue hatched bar and just stayed like that. I upgraded to 10.5.1 and now it progresses to the solid blue progress bar and says 'one minute remaining' but it makes no further progress. Same happens if I select 'Verify Disk'
2. No volume icon in the menu bar. It was there after the upgrade to 10.5 but yesterday I pressed the 'mute' button and the volume icon disappeared - it's been missing ever since and now I'v no volume.
3. MS Office 2002. I can see MS Office files - I can even preview them, but if I attempt to open them nothing happens. If I attempt to open the relevant MS app the icon just bounces once in the dock and then nothing.
It's worth noting that there are two users on my PB (both have admin status) but problem 3 only occurs in my user profile.
The other user is my wife and she's not the sort to mess with the computer - she just uses it.
can anyone shed any light on this as I'm seriously (and reluctantly) considering downgrading to Tiger.
Thanks in advance,
Seán.

Yo dude!
I think it's time to boot from the start-up dvd, run disk utility repair (always before an upgrade!), re-install (keep previous install just in case), restart, run all updates. Maybe if you have old software, it's time to un-install them and re-stall one by one until something untoward happens. I've been using Leopard on three macs without hitches.. I find it very stable. Current version is 10.5.2, quite soon since last update, so they're (apple) obviously fixing a few things. The only problem I had after upgrading to Leopard was some apps wouldn't hide (command-H) even from the menu, but sorted that by re-installing them after the leopard upgrade,.... hunky dory now.
Don't panic, there is always something silly causing bad **** to happen, 95% of the time it's software..
See you on Wednesday dude...... I'll bring up those disks I borrowed from you.....

Multiple Problems after Leopard upgrade HELP! Video display and FW problem

I don't know if this is related.. but I've been battling multiple problems ever since I upgraded my G5 to Leopard a week ago. Everything was perfect under Tiger.
Well, I think I've got everything solved except two last things.
1. My 750GH Maxtor Firewire drive... when I plug it in... does not show in the desktop and it causes both my internal drive and two other Firewire enclosures to disappear from the desktop. I can see all of them mounted in the disk utility, but if this one drive is plugged in.. all icons disappear from the desktop. If I unplug or unmount the 750GB drive.. everything comes back.
I've reformatted this drive, etc. This does not happen on my MacBookPro. The drive mounts fine on that. I've tried different cables, I've tried USB (it's a triple interface Maxtor) and nothing seems to work. I would assume there's something wrong with the drive and not my desktop... but the drive works fine on the MacBookPro.
PLEASE!! Any clues would help...
The other problem that only occurred directly after upgrading to Leopard... is that my graphics now get corrupted and garbled. I've got two video cards running two LCD monitors. The card giving me problems is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB). What happens is.. first all the window shadows and top menu bar start getting checkerboard patterns.. then the whole screen starts getting variants of different colors and checkerboard patterns.

The drives not or disappearing on the desktop could point to the need to do a pram reset.
I believe you hold down the apple-option-p-r keys at startup and listen for a couple of chimes.

E-Mail problem after server upgrade

I had my email on my phone for over a year. It worked perfect... until the office upgraded the server.
After the upgrade I get the error message "Cannot get mail" "The connection to the server failed." I can access another co-workers email on my phone with the same settings, but not my own.
I have tried deleting the exchange account and setting it up again, but that didn't work. I tried deleting it, rebooting the phone, and then setting it up again.
What doesn't make sense to me is that I can access someone else's email, but not my own. It is very frustrating. The people that use Android phones are having no problems after the server upgrade.
Any suggestions?

E 72 GPS and E-mail problem after firmware upgrade...

Hi - to all the gurus out there,
1. i upgraded my firmware to 31.023. Now My GPS (whether using Ovi Maps or Google Maps) locks only at home ( probably the place of my last GPS lock before the upgrade- my guess). Tried many times but it simply refuses to lock anywhere else.-- annoying - someone help please
2. The mail client has become unbearably slow and doesnt update using 3G or GPRS anymore. I checked all access points selections and everything else in settings. In fact except for WLAN, its become a `Non e-mail capable` phone.
3. Skype only lets me IM now??????? weird!!
4.Snaptu only logs in on WLAN.
5. and last but not the least.. in the chat setup. the keyboard doesnt work anymore.
waiting for some help
thanks

Ok, Now the GPS seems to have resolved itself after I deselected `Network Assisted`, but initial lock time seems much longer. Maybe that was the problem.

More mail misery after Leopard upgrade

Mac mail works well but I am having great problems with my ISP. I have deleted my plist and re entered my BT account. The connection doctor says no problem but when I try to retrieve mail the progress window beneath my mail boxes says receiving 8 mails but nothing appears in the main window.
If I try with my non upgraded powerbook there are no problems but the settings are the same as those on the Leopard computer.
Any advice welcome.

Not for me...I seem to have lost a whole bunch of emails, mostly from the past month or two, in doing an upgrade and transfer from my laptop. At first it looked like the transfer had gone through successfully to my tower. I should have checked more thoroughly and done a backup before then upgrading my iBook. Once I upgraded my iBook I transferred the system back from the tower. Though everything seems to have transfered smoothly, and most of my email messages, preferences and address book is there, mysteriously many messages have just gone missing. Backup, backup, backup!!!!

Mail crashes after Leopard Upgrade

Hi!
I've just upgraded my MBP C2D to Leopard, but when I star Mail and it starts updateing my mail library it crashes, and I've just repaired permissions and now it has erased all my inbox, trash, etc folders, got an idea how to repair this?
Thank you!!!!

i have the identical problem since upgrading to 10.5.1. It is frequently when i am writing an email also. i don't have the past reports. Are those recorded somewhere? If so, i can send them to you.

Mail issues after leopard upgrade.

I upgraded my dual processor G5 tower to Leopard and have been having problems with mail since then.
1. Periodically mail simply fails. The window disappears and then I get an error message that Mail has unexpectedly quit, ignore or restart.
2. When mail checks messages, the spinning wheel icon next to each box is very choppy or stops completely. Sometimes checking mail takes a long time.
Anyone else seen these issues post upgrade? Is there a fix for it?
Thanks

I for got to add
5) repair permissions in disk utility
6) reboot

SOME mail missing after Leopard upgrade

I just upgraded to Leopard (from OS 10.3) and successfully imported most old messages into Mail. However, there is a gap - I had to rebuild my mailbox three months ago, and now I cannot find any messages from the date of the rebuild until the date I installed Leopard. The mailbox in my Library folder doesn't appear to have the missing messages. Could they be living somewhere else?

Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
Read the info in the topic at the link below, which while written about conversion from 10.3 to 10.4, would also structurally apply to a conversion from 10.3 to 10.5. Sadly, it would appear the conversion process has not been strengthened, although the real fault lies with the condition of the mailboxes prior to Upgrade.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5664866&#5664866
The messages are not lost, but properly converting them for use in Mail 3.0 is a detailed and tedious project. The best thing would be to have used Rebuild on every mailbox prior to the Upgrade, and if you had used mailboxes created in an even earlier version of Mail, to have removed the Leftover file. Of course I recognize it may be too late for that now, so the "devil is in the details"!
Please do not hesitate to ask any and all questions you need to ask to get comfortable with all you may need to do, depending on the number of large and complex mailboxes you had prior to the Upgrade.

Mail Missing After Leopard Upgrade

For some reason, since I upgraded to Leopard, my inbox only goes back 3 months or so with my .mac email.
I have years of mail that was on my computer that isn't there. I just did an upgrade on top of 10.4. How do I get it all back?
Thanks.

Assuming you upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.x then have you tried rebuilding your mailboxes? choose the mailbox you want rebuild and go to Mailbox>Rebuild?
If you have upgraded from an earlier 10.4.xx version you may want to search this discussion group as there are known issues with mailboxes and missing email.
