Mail program doesn't stop sending

Since I tried to send a mail with a large attachment, the mail program doesn't stop sending any more. Every time I start the mail program it goes immediately into the sending mode and I can't do or select anything anymore. Anybody out there with a good idea?

when it fails, doesn't it eventually give an option to Try Later or Edit message?
If the later choose that & delete the attachment, then close that window.
Have you tried disconnecting from the Internet & see if you can stop it & trash that file?

TS3276 How do I stop the mail program from attempting to send an email with a probably corrupt address?

My "Postmaster" keeps attempting to send an email with one or two corrupt email addresses, or non existent address and I do not know which one it is. How do I stop it attempting further deliveries?

I don't know for sure this is what will work, but set up separate SMTP servers for each Gmail account, using your specific logins for each.
On the Account page in Preferences, Account Information, select Edit SMTP Server List from the Outgoing mail Server (smtp) popup menu.
Copy the current one for Gmail and edit it to use the necessary login information.
For each account, select the desired smtp server and set the checkbox to only use that server.
When you reply or compose a new message, make sure From indicates the correct account.

Mail Program Fried - won't Send

I recently upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4. All was working fine until today. I experienced sporadic delays when inputting text. Then, the SEND button stopped working. Nothing happens when I press the SEND button or if I choose SEND from the menu. I have tried reinstalling MAIL from my install disk. THe problem did not go away. HELP!!

Well, I tried that and all connections were successful.
However, I just tried something else. I had an online Exchange account that I have been using, but recently deactivated the account, and moved the mail servers to my own domain. I had left the Exchange server account active to give the system and accounts time to migrate and sync, etc. On a whim, after your above email, I deleted the inactive Exchange account and that seems to have fixed it. I don't know why, though, because all email accounts were set to use mobile SMPT2GO for all outgoing mail, and that account was turned off on the server side.
For anyone else having this problem, I also tried the various fixes in the thread here. There are some good ideas, though they didn't work for me.

IPad's mail program doesn't load full messages (e.g. 9,5Kb)

Some of the messages are loaded partly. And there is a button "load remaining 15 Kb" (all message may be for example 27Kb). I can see full message only after clicking this button. Can't find the reason.
Other messages with pictures, text (e.g. 500 Kb) are shown correctly.
Did not find any relation between this problem and the messages content.
P.S.:
Can't attach a picture because didn't find no "camera icon" on this page.

Another quirk I've just noticed. Sometimes the mail WILL display completely at first and then after I look at another mail, it changes to displaying with the body missing. This is weird.

Program runs out of things to do, but doesn't stop

I have a program that when it ends should stop after saving the data to excel spreadsheets, but for some reason the program doesn't stop despite nothing else going on. If I select highlight execution there are no animated executions going on. The program just sits there and I have to hit the stop hexagon to get the program to stop running. Any ideas?

It would be useful if we could see the code.

How can I update my Mail program in 10.6.8 to iCloud Mail?

I am running 10.6.8 on my iMac, which is my work "workhorse." I can't update it to Lion because I can't afford to update Quark/Photoshop et al that I'd need. And it works fine.
I also have a Macbook Air running the latest Lion, as well as an iPod 5 running IOS7. Both access my iCloud mail address and folders/filtering set up on iCloud.
However, the Mail program on my iMac is still showing my MobileMe mailbox (and MobileMe is in my system preferences). I had an elaborate filtering-to-folders set up in Mail for my MobileMe account (not in the online MobileMe). I've disabled all the filtering in my Mail program, but iCloud still sends some mail to the older folders I had set up in the program, overriding the new folder-filtering I have set up on iCloud.
So, sometimes I'll get an email sent to my .me email address from a client which I cannot see on my Macbook Air (or iPod) because it's sent to a folder on my iMac. I'm semi-retired so don't do much work anymore so I'd rather not "fire up" the iMac unless I've work to do. But as it is with the Mail situation, I have to leave it on all the time or I can miss client email.
My question is, can I get delete my "mobileme" account in my iMac Mail program and then add my iCloud account to it? I assume the MobileMe in the iMac's system preferences is there for good, because I can't update to Lion. Will that fix my problem, or is that even do-able?
I'm not sure I've stated this clearly. I'm trying to get total coordination between my iMac, MB Air, and iPod mail accounts in the Mail programs of each device without having to resort to using iCloud mail online on my iMac. Perhaps that's unavoidable?
Any help appreciated. If clarification needed, I'll try to explain this better... Thanks all!

You can perfectly well access email in 10.6.8 - I'm doing it myself - and if you are receiving @me.com mail you are already doing so. the @icloud.com version of the address is exactly the same thing, and messages to it will arrive in the inbox alongside those to @me.com.
However if you have set up Rules to act on incoming @me.com mail it obviously won't act on @icloud.com messages, so you will have to duplicate the Rules if you want to keep them.
If you want to try starting over you can delete the account and set it up again, using the method described here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You can't access other iCloud facilities in Snow Leopard but if all you are interested in is the email you have no need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.

Missing plug in in mail program

My mail program doesn't open video. It says "missing plugin" any ideas?

Hello everyone,
Having the same problem with my mail app (6.2 on ML 10.8.2). Most jpg images do not show in-line but only in the quick-view. I only see "missing plug-in" in the message.
I have rebuilt mailboxes and removed java preferences files as some had successfully suggested. Unfortunately, none of these did the trick for me. Any more ideas?.

Mail version 1.3.11 takes an hour to open mail program

I'm running MAIL version 1.3.11 on MAC version 10.3.9, my processor is 1.25 GHz, Power PC G4 and memory is 256 MB DDR SDRAM.
I attached a file to an email and sent it. My mail program became unresponsive after sending this email. It had the spinning wheel that shows the mac is "thinking/doing" something. I finally shut down my computer with the power switch b/c I was not aware of the FORCE QUIT option at that time. The email that I sent was received by the recipient. The Mail program continues to be VERY slow and will receive emails, but not send emails. If I try to send an email the Mail program locks up and I have to force quit. When I start the program, it takes approximately one hour to open the Mail program! It is so bad that I use my ISP website to check, send and receive emails, which is a pain b/c none of my email addresses are in this address book.
Is there a way to uninstall the mail program and reinstall it? Please help! Thanks so much!

Hi teamstamper. Sorry you post has been hanging fire.
How large are your Mailboxes, as too large can cause problems in general? Click on the *In box* and read the size below the Mail toolbar. If it is several hundred megabytes that could be a concern.
A shortcut you could try is, with Mail closed, in Finder, in your Home account, go to
~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes
where you will see the Outbox.mbox
and drag that to the trash.
Then see if Mail is more responsive.

Mac mail won't receive or send on iTouch

I was sending and receiving with no problems until the end of August. Then, mac mail on the iTouch stopped sending mail. I tried changing my password, and now it won't receive mail either.

Did you have a MobileMe account? Did you convert/ transition to iCloud?

Mail and Go Daddy NOT sending mail

RE: Mail and Go Daddy.
Hi peeps - I've just picked up my shiny new 13" MacBook Pro and am loving the experience. How awesome is the new trackpad??!!
Sadly I'm now at a complete loss. My Mail account (using a godaddy email account) stopped sending messages randomly at about 2pm yesterday.
Any ideas? I've tried almost every combo of smtp port numbers using 25, 110, 80, 465, 587 witrh and without ssl....
Please help!

sebisdigital,
Congrats on the new MacBook Pro!
If you were able to send emails from Mail and it randomly stopped sending, you may have used all of your available daily SMTP relays. You can find more information about SMTP relays at http://fwd4.me/9b9. Once the daily SMTP relay limit resets, you would again be able to send emails from Mail. You can also use GoDaddy.com's Web-Based Email to send emails while you are waiting for the relays to reset.
If you continue to not be able to send emails from Mail, I suggest verifying all of your settings. You can find instructions for setting up your Apple Mail with GoDaddy.com's email services at http://fwd4.me/9yO.

Burst program doesn't send mail

Hi,
we are using a burst concurrent program which will send output to user as an attachment in the mail. Now the problem is, if the output data is huge(say >10MB),the program doesn't send the mail. But the program gets complete normal.
we are using excel as a output format.
Is there a way to get huge data in a mail?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but I just have to ask the question: why would you want to send over 10MB of data as a report result to a user? That's a humungous amount of data...and basically has nothing to do with BI anymore. That's just dumping data into someones inbox.
Cheers,
Christi@n

I have a new ipad 2. The mail program refuses to send forwarded emails because the recipient "doesn't accept relays." My desktop and Blackberry forward emails to those recipients without difficulty. Help.

I have a new ipad 2. The mail program refuses to send forwarded emails because the recipient "doesn't accept relays." My desktop and Blackberry forward emails to those recipients without difficulty. Help.

I suspect that you are using the Forwarding option within Workgroup Manager, and this works outside of the postfix alias scheme. I think you should just set those users you are forwarding to, to normal mail users, and put their forwarding rules ALSO in the alias file, so you would have:
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: alex,yong
alex: [email protected]
That should do it. You really have to commit to either using Workgroup Manager or Postfix in their entirety. They don't really work too nicely in conjunction with each other.

I am sending a mass e-mail out to my mailing list and the mail program gets locked up and stops responding before sending the e-mail?

I am sending a mass e-mail out to my mailing list and the mail program gets locked up and stops responding before sending the e-mail. How can I fix this issue? I have done it in the past successfully.

Holly, how many are you sending to?
Are you using the To; or BCC: field?
Individual names or Groups?
I suspect one malformed address at the moment without much else to go on.

What does this mean, and how can I stop this message from coming up constantly in my e-mail program? "Alert: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (htpixel.adsafeprotectedtp) isn't associated with any program."

This just started last night, and it seems to be affecting the functioning of my e-mail program (Yahoo mail). How can I stop it?
