Mail refusing to open

Hi there, I'm hoping someone has a good fix for this..I'm on my second day of trying to fix it! Every time I open mail, it pauses as if loading, but soon changes into the "spinning wheel of doom" (that colored wheel). I end up having to force-quit each time.
I've been reading through all the posts here, and I've tried checking my Network Port Connections, as well as repairing the startup disk. I'm getting the same thing.
Thank you ahead of time!!

Hi ameliek.
Since it seems you've tried only part of what I usually suggest in those cases, I'll post everything here again for reference. Try what you haven't yet and post back with your observations.
Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Now, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet is at the top of the list.
Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it's running):
1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears.
2. With no Internet connection.

Mail refuses to open one message, others ok

For some reason I can't open a message in mail from my web provider. Other messages only a few hours earlier form the same source work fine. I opened the emessage in webmail and it was just an innocuous form letter.
It did actually open it at first, but there was no message.
Wondering if there's a font problem with Mail? Message just won't open but others will. Weird.

Thank you for showing me where to find the antispam thingy.
I tried what you suggested, but it still came up with the same error message when I opened mail.
In your instructions, it looks like you ask me to repeat the process twice, but the second time there is no ~ before the address in the Go to menu.
Is that right, as it did not find anything without the ~, but did find it in the first attempt?
(Hope that makes sense)
Any other suggestioins, or should I try deleting the whole antispam folder, rather than just the contents?
Cheers again.
Merry Christmas.

Aperture, iPhoto and now Mail refusing to open!

What forum do I post this multi-app problem in !!!!! ?????
Yesterday I tried to open Aperture for the first time in many weeks but received the well known message that there was a problem.
I googled for info and discovered this was a long-standing problem possibly caused by installing Final Cut Express 4 (which I had done last week) and the only cure was to erase and reinstall the OS.
I also discovered iPhoto wouldn't open either, presumably for the same reason.
This morning on launching my iMac I was greeted with a message saying that Mail too would not open.
As mentioned above, I installed FCE 4 last week but I also updated from OS X 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 a couple of days ago.
I can understand Aperture and iPhoto being knocked out by installing FCE but Mail was working perfectly last night when I switched off my Core 2 Duo iMac.
Any explanations would be appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mail Won't Open (but menus work and email still being received)

Hi there,
I am a leopard (10.5.1) user on a mac book pro 17. No major problems since install until the other day when mail refuses to open up (from dock or via applications). I can access all the menus, see the mail count in the dock and even open a new mail from the menu bar from there but just can't see what my inbox is doing as it won't open up in a screen. It bounces but just won't open up.
Email is clearly working as its receiving and i can see these if i access via library files.
Has any one heard of this problem? Have checked the forum and can't see the exact problem there. Do i need to re-install mail? If so, how?
Many thanks,
Ben

thanks very much pascal - appreciate the help.
i think i'll have to do a custom install from disk. is there anything i need to do/be aware of with the mail folder before i do the install? should i leave it in homefolder/library (once i've backed it up that is)?
will the new mail app just `talk` to the old mail folder once installed?
just want to avoid any probs and getting myself into further tangles once i do this.
thanks very much,
ben

Mail won't open after update refused

After newest update was refused, my mac mail will not open. Does anyone have any idea how to start up the mac mail or how I can fix the problem?

What update was 'refused'?
You state you are running 10.4.11 - there haven't been any updates since then.
If at first you don't succeed: try running the 10.4.11 combo installer again, and allow two restarts.

My Talk Talk mail box suddenly refuses to open.

I have a Tiscali/talk talk provider.
Suddenly and for no apparent reason the system refuses to open my mail box, it says I have 'undefined' mail (instead of 6 or 17 or whatever)/
I have spoken to Talk Talk who say most of their customers using your Mozilla Firefox are experiencing this problem, which is being addressed and technicians are working on the problem.
They have checked out for other contributing factors and apparently there are non.
So what is causing the problem? Why? And when can I expect to access my emails there. The matter is now getting urgent.
thank you.

Have you updated to 12.0.4? Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5

Today I tried to shutdown my computer and a window popped up saying that my computer could not shut down because the mail application was open, it wouldn't close, so I used a key combination to force mail to quit and now I can't log in. Help?

Okay, so I have been having trouble with my mail application all week. The window refused to open and would not quit. Today, I tried to shut down my mac and a pop up window told me that I was unable to shutdown because mail was open. After using a key combination, I successfully was able to quit mail with force quit. Then I was able to shut down with out a problem. However, upon rebooting, my computer refused to let me loggin. I put in my password correctly but then the rainbow pinwheel showed up and stalled for a minute and then my screen flashed and the gray screen reappeared, expecting a password. I tried turning it off and back on again with no luck. I also reset my password after reading a similar discussion, but I still can't log in. How can I fix this?

Mail App not opening - spinning wheel!

Hi,
I recently upgraded to OS10.4.4 (combo) from 10.3.9
Mail presented as a problem even then. I got some help by searching these sites. (Deleted my Plist, re-entered all account info) Got it working - though it had refused to import/transfer all my old mail.
Now it has thrown the dolly out - as if I got one over it - it refuses to open!
Spinning wheel and I have to force quit.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks. Steve.

Hi Ernie,
I should clarify that I don't have both mail clients running at the same time - and that neither are set to check mail other than manually. Once in a while I just click on Thunderbird and download messages so that I have a copy to work with if Mail misbehaves!
Judging from the volume and demand on your time on this forum I don't think it a bad idea. Actually there are features in Thunderbird that are quite good! I like the ability to insert Smilies in messages from a convenient drop down button!!
I'm just a loyal Apple person and want, really really want, to use an integrated Apple suite of apps.
Now. Just how do I get those old messages (in previous POP account folders) into my current POP accounts?
Like Shirley, (another poster that you are helping so much) I think I may have pressed 'import' old settings when I updated to 10.4.4. thus creating a demand for new accounts instead of importing the older ones. Isn't that a wrong judgement of intuition by Apple? Their programming is usually more intuitive...
Thanks a lot for all your advice last evening Ernie - you're a Star!!
Steve.

HT6114 mail doesn't open since the new update

Since the new update(v10.9.2) my mail has refused to open keeps coming up with the mail has had a problem would you like to reopen screen. Has anyone else had this problem?

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis. Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

I can't get Mail.app to open.

After I installed 10.6.8 the old mail icon from OSX 10.6.3 was still on the desktop so I trashed it. When I moved the new mail.app from the harddrive to the desktop, it wouldn't open. But the harddrive still had the mail icon in the application folder. So it looked like I might be trying to open two copies of the mail app at the same time? Anyway,after trying to move and trash extra copies of the mail.app, and twice reinstalling MacOSXUpdCombo 10.6.8 I now have just one icon of Mail.app on my desktop that still refuses to open. HELP! Please!
I'm using an iMac from 2008 or so using an Intel core2duo processor running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, 20" display. Model 8,1

This didn't work, alas. I moved the desktop icon to the trash as suggested. When I tried to start Mail from the dock it gave me an error message saying it couldn't start up because the app was in the trash

Updating to Safari 6 for Lion may help. This can be done on both Macs.
You can use Chrome to download the file...
Click here > Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
Then click the link posted by: gregoryfromcork
That will automatically download this file > Safari6Lion.pkg.download
Now quit Safari.
Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
Then restart your Mac, try Safari.

Mail refuses to quit or shut down

My wife is having an issue with mail on her Intel based iMac. Sometimes Mail does not download mail from our Comcast server. While troubleshooting this, we tried to reboot the iMac. After a long pause we got the error 'restart stopped because the application Mail failed to quit'. Then we cannot even Force Quit Mail.
Not sure if the failure to download messages and the failure to quit are linked or not.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
In Mail, open Window > Activity Viewer. What do you see there when Mail refuses to quit? Actually, you may be able to avoid having to force quit Mail by canceling whatever it’s doing (by clicking on the red stop icon of the activity).
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting that information easier, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Mail refuses to get new mail.

Mail refuses to get new mail. (Imac 10.9.5, Mail 7.3. ) Connection doc shows wheels to all my accounts spinning (IMap and POP). Activity cited Mail was trying to connect to Icloud. Evidently stuck there. This is just one problem in a succession of many with the Mail program ever since I upgraded to 10.9.5, but it is the worst so far. Restarting doesn't seem to fix it. Any suggestions?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
