Mail program not working since upgrading to Leopard 10.5.6

We have loaded the new Leopard system now twice, and both times the Mail program fails to launch from the taskbar, but stays open in the background. The program will not close, and fails to open to even try to check email. It seems other programs are working just fine, but nothing right with Mail. Anyone know if there is a fix to this?
Thanks,
lldowney

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
While the other poster's cited article references certain issues with 10.5.6, they are when updating a system that was already on Leopard. If, as it appears, you were Upgrading an earlier version of OSX, such as 10.4.11, then the relevant article is:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
Where an even earlier OSX than Tiger once generated the Mail folder, two other MessageSorting files will need to be removed, also.

HT1338 outgoing e-mail server not working since upgrade to mountain lion

unable to send mail on one of my e-mail accounts since upgrading to mountain lion

I had this problem as well after upgrading to 10.8.
For all e-mail accounts SMTP servers seemed to be unavailable to Mail, regardless of setting TSL/SSL on or off. It turned out, even Thunderbird was unable to send any mail.
After trying every hint on this forum twice – and to no avail; I found the culprit to my problem. Upgrading my iMac to Mountain Lion had changed the name, that my machine was using in my home network. The new machine name had "(2)" added to the old name. The brackets seem to have disturbed the SMTP servers I use. After changing the name back to anything w/o special characters I was able to send mail again.
Very strange, since no error message lead to this direction, and only the SMTP was affected, everything else on the internet worked like a charm.
So if you run into this problem, and no other solution works for you, make sure your LAN-name is not including any special characters, just letters, numbers and "-".
Mind you: the name I am relating to is not necessarily the one you give your Mac in System Preferences > Sharing. It is the name your home router derives from that name. I am using a Fritzbox as a router and DSL modem; and had to access its web interface to check the actual name that my iMac was using to communicate to the web. That's also where I had to change the name back again.
Don't know why ML caused the name to change in the first place, maybe the whole thing was unrelated and purely incidental to upgrading to 10.8. Using another router your mileage may also vary. You may still give it a try.

Airport w/wireless not working since upgrading to Leopard

I run a laptop via a NETGEAR wireless system from my main machine.
I had no problem until I upgraded to Leopard. Now the laptop doesn't see the wireless via airport. help!!

Re: Networking
Sadly, this is still a problem for at least some MacBook Pro's and OSX on version 10.5.2 and above.
Our MBP is still on 10.5.1 (with WPA), but gets 'connection failed' on any System Software version above that, with *no other* parameters changed on our side. Curiously, my iMac doesn't connect wirelessly either, on any version above OSX 10.5.1, so I use ethernet instead. The MBP remains (yet works perfectly) on 10.5.1, meaning that any subsequent security updates, plus other enhancements, are unavailable to the regular user of that machine (and she is not too happy about it!).
I have read many of Mr Kucharski's posts and he is undoubtedly very knowledgeable regarding Mac OSX etc., but seems unable to resolve this issue. He does try hard to be helpful (that is clear). However, other users have insisted that there is a problem with OSX past 10.5.1 or .2 and wireless networking with at least some MBPs (and perhaps MacBooks), after having removed all other factors.
Sorry that this doesn't help. I can only console with the thought that there are others out here with the same problem, still waiting for Apple to acknowledge, let alone correct it. Perhaps 10.6 will be the answer.
End of rant.

Capture not working (since upgrade to leopard)

hi
i have upgraded my OS to leopard and since doing that if i try to open FCE with my camera attached (to the back of the mac via firewire) the rainbow wheel comes up and FCE just wont open until i turn the camera off. i also get the same problem if i try to capture anything, but without the camera on everything else works fine i can edit existing clips etc.
this was never a problem before i upgraded to leopard, are there some setting i need to change in order to get round this?
the reason i upgraded was to be able to use the magic mouse fully.
equipment i am using is as follows:
camera: Canon XM2
computer: power mac G5
OS: 10.5.8
FCE: 3.5.1

okay, i have done as you suggested and uninstalled FCE and then re-installed from the upgrade which appeared to work first time i went to use capture, but then went back to use it again the next day and i had the same problem again!!
but after a few times of plugging and unplugging the firewire it finally regognised that the camera was there, one of the odd things i noticed was that when i plugged it in to the back of my g-raid hard drive it did recognise that the camera was there and i could control it from capture but it didn't show any images from the camera?
any ideas from anyone as to why it seems to be working intermittently?

Mail won't work since upgrading to Leopard

I just upgraded to Leopard and now Mail doesn't work at all. I click on the icon and it says, "You cannot use the application "Mail" with this version of Mac OS X. Everything else works fine.

you may have more than one Mail.app on your computer, and you may try to launch the Tiger version instead of the Leopard version. Can you search for Mail.app and see if indeed you have more than one, then select Mail.app 3.0, the leopard version and start it up.
Once you have located the correct version, trash the old one.
hope this helps

Canon Printer mx860 not working since upgrade to Yosemite, it is connected to my Mac via usb. Any suggestions? Thanks. LL

My 2009 Canon MX860 Pixma printer not working since an upgrade to Yosemite on my MAC version 10.10. It is connected by USB. Have had no previous issues with printing, scanning or faxing. When trying to print my Calendar I only get light vertical dotted lines, none horizontal, no words and vague header colors. Checked printer image on the on my MAC which shows the same problem. All of the color and black cartridges are new.
The recent upgrade to the Canon application says it is completed but it is not, image on application upgrade is a circle with an X.
Any suggestions? Could this simply be a compatibility problem? I'd sure like to keep my Canon printer.
Thanks, LL

Can you open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left sidebar. If the MX is the only printer connected to the Mac then its information will be shown in the right pane. If you have more than one printer, then a list will be shown in the top right pane. Select the MX to see its information in the bottom right pane. Can you copy this information and paste back here for me to check.
Also an FYI - this is the Mavericks forum. The Yosemite forum is here

Mail server not working after upgrade

After a few hours, my server finally came back up however mail is not working.
In the /var/log/mail.log I see many error messages related to the same thing from Postfix whenever an inbound mail is recieved.
May 24 06:26:22 my.server.com postfix/postscreen[25712]: CONNECT from [62.13.138.73]:64283 to [192.168.0.3]:25
May 24 06:26:22 my.server.com postfix/postscreen[25712]: fatal: error seeking /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta/postscreen_cache.db: Invalid argument
May 24 06:26:23 my.server.com postfix/master[54]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/postscreen pid 25712 exit status 1
Help!

I'd guess that the postscreen database is missing or corrupt.
please issue the following Terminal.app commands:
postconf -n -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/ | grep -i postscreen
postconf -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/ | grep -i postscreen
and anonymize the output if and as desired.   If you anonymize, please consistenty replace the domain portion of your URL(s) to example.com, example.net and/or example.org (these are RFC-reserved bogus domains) and replace the server's host name to something else if that's more sensitive than "mail" or "www" or "server" — consistency in these changes is important — and alter any IP addresses included (other than 127.0.0.1 / localhost) to 10.20.30.40 (or some other private IP address — again, consistency in these changes is important — and then post that output here.
Before making any changes, get a complete system backup or two, on an external disk. That's your path back if something here goes badly wrong, weird or otherwise untoward.
Once there are complete backups and entirely as a test / guess / experiment, I'd look to rename an existing postscreen database out of the way and see if a new cache database gets created, and would also check the file ownerships and protections of the files in that area.
$ sudo ls -ale@ /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta/
Password:
total 48
drwxr-x---   5 _postfix mail     170 Jan 30 15:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root      wheel    442 Jan 28 10:57 ..
-rw-------   1 _postfix mail      33 May 5 16:08 master.lock

-rw-------   1 _postfix mail    1024 May 24 10:04 prng_exch
$
The two files that are most interesting in the above are the . and postscreen_cache.db files.
There is also an upgrade log around, and you'll definitely want to have a look in that — to see what (else?) went wrong here. (Off the top, I don't recall the name of the upgrade log file. In recent releases, it's usually something like /var/log/install.log — also check the system logs for "upgrade" messages.)

My morphie pack does not work since upgrading

My juice pack (Morphie) Does not work since i have upgraded the ios to 7.1.1
I have two iphones a 4s that has not been updated yet and also the 5s which has been updated. The 4s is working perfectly well with the juice pack but the 5s is absoultely crap to say the least. I complained to Morphie and to their credit the sent me a new pack and it has the same problem. This MEANS since the update there has been a change with apple and they have made our 100€ chargers redundant as I only get 20 - 25% extra battery when I should be getting a full charge
This is not acceptable for phones that are expensive and the accessories that we buy to go with them are also an additional expense and very expensieve to. That doesnt matter too much when they work, but then they dont it is NOT good.
Someone come back to us and give us a solution please.

Thanks guys for the responses but I am not convinced this is a MOPHIE problem. Their customer service department have been great and look after their clients. I have two iphone 4s´s which have not been upgraded for fear of being left with the rubbish battery I have with my relatively new iphone 5s. Mophie have replaced the amost new juice pack that I had with a completely new one that has the same problem...... funny how this has happened since the ios 7.1.1. update
I have been using MOPHIE juice packs for a number of years and have never experienced anything like this before. It seems rather strange that after upgrading I have this problem that APPLE negates to rectify.
Of course I wouldn´t have to use a 3rd party accessory if the battery was made to last and if APPLE had an alternative, I would of course buy apple but they don´t. I am a huge fan of Apple but cannot run a business with phones that cannot be upgraded for the fear of loosing battery life which would mean loosing clients which would mean loosing my lively hood.
Full phone restore was done too.
Still not HAPPY
Sorry, as already stated your using a 3rd party accessory take it up with mophie.
I have no issue with my mophie after updating to 7.1.1 - so your theory is flawed.
My battery life can last up to a day and a 1/2 - I only bought the mophie as a backup battery and because it is bulky and can protect my phone in case I drop it.

TS4002 Mail sending emails out not working since upgrade 10.8

Ever since upgrade to 10.8, cannot send mail despite following the tips apple listed. ANy ideas how to get my mail to send messages out with 10.8.1??? Never had a problem until the updates.

I have had the same problem with OS10.8.1 email not sending but incoming only. One thing I tried resolved this,which was unchecking the SSL in the pop account and the messages immediately went whoosh!
Port 25 worked for the smpt but unchecking the SSL allowed communication.
Hope it carries on working . Jeff .
