Mail Re-Installation Help

My Mail app apparently has been corrupted. The font sizing buttons won't work. I'm guessing the only way to correct the situation is to re-install Mail which I would like to do without having to re-install the entire 10.6.8 OS. How would I go about this? Second, is Mail succeptable to malware/apps or is it a vector for same to PC users down the line? I've all the newest security downloads from Apple on board, but still wonder if I should purchase 3rd party Anti-everything nasty software and if so, from who? Anyone?

Thank you for your response and advice re Anti-Virus software. Regarding my Mail issue; you've hit the nail on the head. It is regarding changing the size of fonts. Whereas the keyboard command to size fonts up or down works perfectly, the tool bar buttons do not. I've customized the toolbar several times by dragging the icons off and then back on via the "customize toolbar" option, but to no avail. The sizing buttons will not do their job. I've been through the Mail preferences settings numerous times and can find nothing that would appear to help with the situation. I haven't hunted down the Mail p-list yet and dumped it or anything since I've seen nothing obvious in preferences that indicates it would help my situation.
I suppose I could set up a work-around by assigning a secondary Mail specific function to the up and down arrows on the keyboard, but absent an as-designed-function fix, I'm generally loath to jury-rig work-arounds on principal. I'm left with a conclusion that it's the app itself that has the problem. They can and do corrupt all by themselves on occassion simply with the n-error-to-n-operations ratios indigineous to complex processes, of this I'm well aware.
I use a first gen wireless 3-batt aluminum truncated wireless keyboard with USB Overdrive for custom settings. My OS is 10.6.8 on a 4,1 Intel DuoCore iMac with full capacity RAM (upgraded). I've just recently upgraded my OS from 10.4.11 and am still finding small pain in the butt glitches in my tweaks, but nothing that wasn't fixable by loading compatible versions of my working utilities. This Mail thing is the first real "whoops" I've run across that affects the way I use the Mac.
So, Kurt, what'cha got? I could really use some help here. This bug is bugging the heck out of me.

  • Updated 8i Installation Help Page

    I have updated the 8i Installation Help Page. In particular, I have completed the section on "Configuring Net8".
    http://homepages.tig.com.au/~jmsalvo/linux/oracle8i.html
    I have also updated the section "Post Database Creation Procedures" the other day and discussed the bug with the startup and shutdown script provided in the Oracle8i Linux Installation Guide.

    Chris,
    Although I e-mailed you this already, I am reposting it for others:
    The scripts are not meant to be run by the 'oracle' user by the 'root' user, as
    these scripts are executed during startup and reboot. That's why you see in the
    an 'su' command such as:
    su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart
    to change from 'root' to 'oracle', and return to 'root'
    You should not be prompted for a password during startup and shutdown, as it
    connects as 'internal'. If the user 'root' is prompted for a password, add the
    linux group 'dba' as a secondary group of linux account 'root'.
    In RedHat 6.0, I get on my screen:
    Starting up listener8i [OK]
    Starting up oracle8i [OK]
    Starting up names8i [OK]
    Also true for shutdown. Your /var/log/messages will show you the output from
    svrmgrl, it it indeed startup and shutdown.
    Also, make sure what are the run levels in RedHat 6.1 for HALT, SHUTDOWN, and
    the default runlevel. These are indicated in /etc/inittab. As I am using RedHat
    6.0, these runlevels may be different with RedHat 6.1 and other distros for that
    matter.
    In RedHat 6.0, HALT is 0, SHUTDOWN is 6, and default is 3. If they are different
    in 6.1, then you need to make the link in the proper directory under /etc/rc.d.

  • Help "adobe installation helper a cessé de fonctionner"

    Bonjour, je me permet de poster sur ce forum puisque depuis hier je suis confronté à un grave problème.
    En effet, je suis dans l'obligation de réinstaller le logiciel "Adobe reader", sauf que lorsque je lance l'installation, une boite de dialogue s'ouvre et m'indique que "Adobe Installation Helper a cessé de fonctionner (Windows peut rechercher une solution au problème en ligne.)."
    Ainsi, je viens ici dans l'espoir de trouver une réponse à mon problème. Bien sur, vous vous douterez que j'ai déjà exploré les différentes propositions étant dans mes cordes que j'ai pu trouver sur la toile ! Merci d'avance.

    Oups,
    Je suis sous Windows 8.1 et le probleme survient quand je veux imprimer, le clic sur "Imprimer" ferme PSCC après appartion du popup. Seul PSCC est ouvert et j'ai 20 mo de mémoire.

    I run 3 email accounts on Mac Mail, all 3 disappeared after doing the latest OS X update. I have tried adding the accounts back but no mail appears. Help!

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

  • A erase my e mail account, need help pls

    a erase my e mail account, need help they werw my job e MAIL

    It's a disgraceful failure of any customer service by BT.  Had my Btinternet email account since they launched backin ... was it 1997?  Everything digital in my life is spidered into the account now.  Its been used as my registration point for virtually everything for the past fifteen years.  And now getting less than 30 days notice to try and find every single product and website I have registered with and then change all my details?!?!?  Hell, I'd need about a year to do so; and then I would still probably have missed some!  By their actions, they potentially cutting me off from products that I have purchased & tied to this email address.
    Add to that the fact that their email that comes into your inbox sources from some dodgy 'analytics planning' website, as all the links route through there... I had serious doubts as to its legitimacy and forwarded it to their abuse contact & opened a case regarding it.  Highly unprofessional of them - especially when you consider that we are repeatedly advised by BT to never click on links unless we are sure of their validity.  And should never, ever, enter our account details on any other site other than theirs.
    Shoddy BT, very very shoddy.  I would expect a higher standard of business from such a company.  And would definitely expect a proper notification click through to come up regarding this service change when I log into email.  I would say a good proportion of their users will deregard the email as a phishing attempt.  **bleep** cowboy operation.

  • Installer help application missing

  • How do I install CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" (disk 3 of 3)?

    Hi,
    How do I install the CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" disk (the 3rd of the 3 disk set although it's not labelled as disk "3")? There's an autorun.inf file but no setup.exe. The generic on-disk installation instructions are useless for this disk since they assume a setup.exe file exists.
    The disk contains the following folders: Adobe CS6 Speech Analysis Models, Adobe Encore CS6 Functional Content, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, and Fonts.
    Thanks!

    There is no installer for the files AudiosBro they are additional content which can be added to those applications.  For specific inquiries about the contents please post in the applicable forum for that application.  You can find a list of available forums at https://forums.adobe.com/welcome.
