Mail program has stopped working

A few weeks ago I discovered I was unable to send pictures through the Mail program. Now I'm also unable to send text emails. The only thing I'm receiving is spam.
I contacted my ISP which is my phone comany and they say it's a Apple program problem.
Any help would sure be apprecaited!!
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Welcome to the discussions, miltwho.
You are not giving potential helpers a lot of detail. What sort of email account - pop or imap? When you try to send email what happens? Is there an error message, and if so, what?

HT4759 I have mobilme account with Apple that is now iCloud. My mac mail program has stopped downloading emails to my computer. I am running 10.5.8 operating system. Will this this work?

My mac mail program has stopped sending incoming mail downloads. Have spend many hours trying to figure this out..
It keeps asking for a password and won't accept the one I have. Why is the server not working? I am on 10.5 OS and
wondering if that is the problem? Having to pay $100 for an upgrade every year is a rip off....

TS3276 My yahoo.co.uk e-mail account has stopped working on my iMac. Connection doctor states that my connections are OK. Help.

My yahoo.co.uk e-mail account has stopped receiving new mail. I have deleted the account and reinstalled but after receiving a few new e-mails it has stopped working again. I cannot delete mail and my 'sent' box is empty. I can access Yahoo mail via the web but would like to continue using Mail. What setting should I use (my son had a look at the problem and may have altered some specs). Connection Doctor indicates I am connected OK. Any suggestions?

well, everything appears to have resolved itself. Let me put this down in case it is of use to other iphone/gmail types.
1. apparently I must have had either a lot of different computers/devices accessing gmail at the same time and it locked me out. As sailman says above, what precisely is locked out is a mystery, but in my case it was my pc/outlook, my apple mail 4.1 and my iphone. Web access worked fine
2. when i ran the https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha command I had to do it on both my pc and my mac and eventually they came back up. The iphone was last, and took at least 24hours
3. one thing that google doesn't communicate well is that you can sync your contacts and calendar by setting the iphone up via an exchange account, i.e. http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740 . Then you need to set up mail separately by adding it as an "other" type of account - i.e http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77702

PSE12 Crashes with "Program has stopped working"

I am having the the same problem as is stated here http://forums.adobe.com/message/6040575#6040575. I can not try this solution because PSE12 does not stay up long enough for me to look for any IMPORTED TAGS in my catalog.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but when I opened PSE12 after the reinstall it still knew were my catalog was and opened it and then crashed again. Why does the uninstall leave the catalog in place? I would have thought it would remove it along with every thing else. Now I have to uninstall it again and go through my folders and find anything that has PSE12 in the name and delete it by hand.
This is getting very frustrating as I have not had more then 7 days of a functioning program before it starts to crash on me.
I love PSE and have not had any problems with preveous releases until this one.
Running on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1

UPDATE: I uninstalled and reinstalled PSE12 (twice seeing as the uninstall does not get rid of everything it should) and as I was converting and checking all my catalogs for "Imported Tags" I got the "Program has stopped working" error message again. I give up. I want to get my sons money back for this program as he gave it to me as a Christms Present.
I really wonder if anyone from Adobe ever looks at any thng here on these forums. So far I have not seen any evidence to suggest that they do. So far Adobe support sucks.

MY PHOTO STREAM EXECUTION PROGRAM HAS STOPPED WORKING ON MY LAPTOP, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

My photo stream execution program has stopped working, what should I do?

Best place to ask would be in the iOS discussion area. I don't own an iPad, but if I did, I'd be trying to sync to iTunes to preserve the data while I sorted out the problem with the app.

Error message Program has stopped working

Several days ago, adobe forced an update. Since that time none of my CS5 components will work. They start opening and then an error message appears. InDesign has stopped working, Photoshop has stopped working, etc. All components show exactly the same message.

You have installed a font and it's crapping out the type engines. Get rid of whatever font it is...

I installed itunes, and when it starts, it says the program has stopped working. I uninstalled and reinstalled, same thing

I recently installed Itunes on my laptop, and was able to add music to it, but then it would always pop up a window that said itunes had stopped working anytime I opened it. I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, and it's doing the same thing. Please help!!!!

Try each step.
When you get to the license recovery kit, type sudo, leave a space and drag LicenseRecover.py into
the Terminal screen, then hit Enter. It should look like this:

Mail app has stopped working after 10.9.4 update on July 4, 2014

Mail is totally dead. It does not connect to the internet. Each of my email accounts has the exclamation triangle next to them. No new peripherals or devices or USB connections were added after the update. The system worked before the update, and the same system stopped working (Mail app so far) after the update.

In your opinion Apple was doing a garbage job, when in fact it was Intego that trashed your Mac. That's all it is capable of doing.
But now I have no virus protection.
This is a common misconception. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Ill-conceived "anti-virus" garbage convey no benefit and as you found out, can simply prevent your Mac from working as it is designed to work.
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

My POP mail account has stopped working

Hi,
I have a mail account with PlusNet. For years it's worked fine, but a week ago I stopped receiving emails on my POP account (my other iCloud account is fine) and got an exclamation mark/triangle icon next to the account name. The connection doctor tells me that trying to log in to the POP account failed and suggested I check that the username and password are correct. I did and both are okay.
I checked back with PlusNet, my ISP, and they said that a recent Mac OS update had upset things. They suggested I go into Mail Preferences - Advanced and untick 'Use SSL' and untick 'Automatically detect and maintain account settings'. I did this but still no luck.
PlusNet then said to contact Apple.
Has anyone else had similar problems? To clarify, I can't receive new mail on my POP account, but do be able to send okay.
Thanks
Stephen

I have exactly the same problem. I'm also with Plusnet, Mail always worked fine until maybe a week or so ago. I'd upgraded to 10.10.1 earlier in the year and had some problems with Mac freezing or shutting down at random, which seemed to have eventually sorted itself out somehow, eventually, but never had any problems with Mail.
Problem is exactly the same as you state, have just tried what you said Plusnet suggested and no luck for me either.
Have now also done the most recent upgrade to 10.10.2 but Mail still doesn't work properly.
I have 4 Mailboxes for different addresses, the three affected ones are all (incoming)mail.plus.net (outgoing)relay.plus.net the only one unaffected is (incoming)pop.secureserver.net (outgoing)smtpout.secureserver.net
Some emails have not been sent or sent without attachments and v.v.slow to get incoming emails. I have to check on webmail to make sure I get the incoming emails but it doesn't show the sent messages from Mac Mail.
Hope this info helps in some way, do post if you find a solution/cause.
Cheers, Chris

My Mail program suddenly stopped working.

I have Power PC G5 with OSX 10.4.11 and as of today my mail program just won't open. The window opens and it is empty and I can only force quit. I am running mail version 2.1.3. Everything else seems to work just fine. I have no idea what is going on or what to do about it. Please someone help. I am not computer literate but have had this computer since 2006 and this is the first issue I've had. I've tried restarting but still nothing. the spinny wheel just spins and spins and I can do nothing with the program except force quit.

Interestingly enough...just the safe boot seemed to correct it without moving those items to the desktop. At first it was blank like before then one email appeared in my inbox then disappeared then they all came back...I don't know what happened but it worked. I restarted the computer in normal mode just to see and all is working again.
On a side note...this computer seems to "fix itself"...I have an older card reader and was having trouble getting it to mount. It would light up and the usb hub port it was connected to would light on startup but then once the desktop started to load the hub light for the reader would go out and the reader light would blink and blink without managing to mount. I would have to disconnect it and reconnect it a bunch of times until it would eventually mount. I knew the hub was working fine so I figured the reader was just broken, perhaps a loose connection, and was going to pick up a new one...Well, the day before yesterday it just randomly started working again. Very strange, but in a good way I guess...just saved me a couple of $$.
Again thanks so much.
