Mail stopped working - closes within 2 seconds

As of 2/14 my iPhone mail stopped working. I lauch the application, it opens briefly and immediately closes. I link to Road-runner through Outlook on the PC and have MobileMe for push syncing.
After completely reinstalling the email accounts, MobileMe, etc. the problem persists. It opens, now appears to be searching for a connection (a first) then shuts down.
Any ideas?

I had this same problem yesterday happen all of a sudden. My iphone is less than a month old and email has worked fine. I had two mail accounts on my phone, one mobileme & one gmail for work. The phone would seamlessly give me my email for both accounts, I thought it was pretty sweet. Then yesterday, I went to open my email and it would open for 3 seconds and close. If I switched from gmail to mobileme, it was sometimes staying open longer, but would still close. I called tech support and they had me reset the phone twice and finally restore the phone from backup. That didn't work either. Unfortunately, the only thing that finally worked was to delete the Gmail account from my phone. Now mail is working just fine. I plan to go to the Genius bar so I can put my Gmail account back on my phone.

E-mail app automatically closes within seconds of opening. How do I fix?

I use a 16 MB 3Gs iPhone. I have not upgraded to v4. Since my last e-mail fetch (I am on a manually push) of last night, my e-mail app closes on its own within seconds of opening. I cannot get it to stay open long enough to even delete any of the items out. I have a total of 7 mail messages in my Inbox (2 old and 5 new). No message has an attachment of significant size. I think it has been a couple of weeks since I purged the deleted items folder. I average 30 - 50 messages a day.
I have encountered a similar experience with Facebook app, but found that once a large post on LiveNews migrated to the Older Posts section FB would behave normally.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I have this same problem and have not found a fix-around. Does anyone have an idea? THANK YOU

Try to reset your ipad and/or force quit the mail app
Reset
Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
Force close an app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : Firefox has stopped working - close the program and check online for a solution - or - close ..

Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : "Firefox has stopped working" - "close the program and check online for a solution" - or - "close the program" this happens TWICE every time I try to start firefox. Eventually after a random number of tries firefox will start normaly. I am useing firefox 19.0.2 now bit I belive it started when I upgraded to firefox 18 but am not sure, it might have been when I upgraded to firefox 19 ... but it has been happening for a very long time and I cannot find any helpfule solutions online.
I have tried a Clean reinstall but it did not help.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

When I try to open iTunes,it tries to start but than I get a message stating-iTunes has stopped working , close the program. Does anyone have a problem like this? I'm using windows 7 compatibility turned off.

I'm using a Dell PC with windows 7. Apple Store cannot open completely. An error message states- iTunes has stopped working, close the program.
I have spoken to at least 3 Techs with no solutions found for this problem. Compatibility mode turned off. Newest Download from Apple site.

See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Thunderbolt stop working for some seconds

I have a Macbook PRO Retina 15'' Early 2013 and I have the problem that one of the two thunderbolt stop working for same seconds.
I often use both ports: one for ethernet and the other for external monitor through DVI.
If I am using the ethernet in the problematic port, until a random time (between 10 minutes or 8 hours) my mac disconnects from the network. I have to pull out and in the adapter to restart the connection.
If I am using the DVI adapter, sometime the monitor is seen as disconnected and after 2-3 seconds it is again reconnected.
Can be an hardware problem or only software?
Thanks

Yes.
Have been added a lot of different other problems: not respond after stop, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth not working or not usable, usb disconnections, kernel panic, sometime is impossible to reboot...
The Apple support has decided to change the mainboard.
I am disappointed on how Apple is managing my problem, because they have told me wrong procedures. They have not proposed to me anything to apologize for the wrong information given... I have ever thought that the customer policy for Apple is different from other company and I was very excited to buy my first macbook.
I have bought a macbook that costs over 2200€ and the only solution is to wait at least 5 working days for repair: I need for work, not for fun...
My old Dell costs less that 1200€ and offers, with the same cost of an Apple care, a repair service in 24 hours and accidental damage assurance.
I hope they can restore the good opinion that I have build in my brain and destroyed in 3 days...

Why does mail stop working?

Why does mail stop working when it has worked fine for years?

OK, thank you. I use apple for e-mail. I have an @me address and I have long subscribed to mobile me, which has recently become icloud. Yesterday the @me mail account appeared to stop recognizing my e-mail password for my primary mail account on my two imacs but not on my ipad. The most recent e-mail I have received on my imacs is 7:16am yesterday, but I know from my ipad that I have received numerous e-mails since then. I have other mail accounts, including one for the school where I teach. I am receiving e-mail on the school account ok.
I made no changes to my password or otherwise for my primary mail account any time recently. I also still have my @mac address.
Generally, I do not understand icloud. I do not understand how to sync information across computers.
When I go to preferences in mail and I click and accounts and account information, I do not understand anything that I see there. When I try to re-type my password, there seems to be no way to save it except to switch to another mail account. I know from past experience that if I attempt to fix whatever might be wrong with mail I do not know what I am doing.
Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

TS3276 Icloud mail stops working 3 minutes after I sign in

Icloud mail stops working every time I sign in, for some reason it just freezes wherever I am working. No idea

There are many possible reasons for that.
Most likely a corrupted cookie or cache file for that site may be responsible.
On the Safari menu bar got to Safari -> Empty Cache
Then go to Safari -> Preferences and click on the 3rd symbol from right.
Click on Details -> type the name of the particular site (e.g. facebook) in the search field and delete all upcoming entry's.
Restart Safari and try again to log in on the site.

Mail stopped working

I have had this iTouch for 10 days now. I have version 2.0.2(5C1) and everything was working perfectly until I connected the iTouch to my Mac Powerbook today. Then, Mail stopped working altogether. Send or Receive is not working. I just see a "Checking for Mail..." sign at the bottom of the screen when I go into an Inbox (gmail, me or company email). All other apps seem to be working fine.
Any suggestions (other than to throw this wonderful POS out?) I actually do mean "wonderful" because I did love this until today. Maybe the "Mobile me" is screwing this up....thoughts?

Hi CInglez ,
Do you care to share what the solution was? I thought when you ask a question on forum and hope that people reply, should'nt you update if you have resolved the problem.
Anyway, you are not obliged to anyway.
Just wanted to update that i was facing the similar issues.
OCS version: 10.1.2.4
OS: SuSE 9 Update 3
Issues: Could not telnet on OCS server localhost on port 25, even though the listener_es and all email processes were running.
Solution: set the stack size to 512
Step by step instructions to resolve:
1.logon to the terminal running ocs apps server as oracle user
2. run ulimit -a and you will find that stack size is set to unlimited (assuming you have it to default)
3. set stack size to 512, by running the following command:
ulimit -s 512
4. run ulimit -a and ensure the value for stack size has changed.
5. from that same session run: $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopall
5. Now start all the process from that same session: $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
This has resolved the issue for me, to set this parameter permanently please follow the metalink note # 395083.1
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Dipak

Mail stopped working on Airport Express wifi.

Using Airport Express. Suddenly, only Mail stopped working on my iPad & iPhone, using my home Airport Express. Other internet site work. Mail works on different wifi network. I deleted Yahoo Account in iPad Settings. Re-entering the Yahoo Account gives the msg "IMAP server 'apple.imap.yahoo.com' is not respondig. Check network connection ant that you entered correct info in 'Incoming Mail Server' field.

Had the very same problem with ATT DSL and mail @ my domain. Tried everything including pestering the crap out of my hosting service. Turned out to be AirPort Extreme firmware version 7.6.4 (the latest). I downgraded with Airport Utility to 7.6.3 and all is fine.

Mail stopped working after replacing primary HD

Apple Mail stopped working after replacing and restoring the Main Hard Drive in the upper bay. Internet connection is good, and the Mail client troubleshooting (Comcast) was no help. I can start the App, but it does not retrieve or send mail through Comcast anymore. I have a MacBook Pro with the same settings and Mail works fine.

Thanks for replying.
This is odd because my PowerMac G5 with Leopard Mail cannot receive or send email. Connection doctor is showing all red dots on every email account with Comcast (BTW, GMAIL accounts okay). On my Blackberry, and my MacBook Pro (Lion), the setting are all the same, passwords, etc., and the later two have no issues. I even created a test Administrator Account in "Accounts" in System Preferences on the G5, logged into the Test Account and tried to create a new mail account with the same settings, and yet during the set-up (Welcome to Mail), I get an error message that says Mail cannot log into Comcast's POP server with the current settings. I have also tried changing passwords, no help. Also the usual disk repair, permissions, motherboard resets, zapping PRAM, etc.
Out of ideas...
Thanks for any help...

Why not tell us who is your email provider.

Exchange mail in mac mail stopped working

I have been using a exchange IMAP mail on my mac mail for several years now. Recenty the volume of emails in my inbox was exceeding the size limit set by the administrator. I created seperate mailboxes on my mac to store old emails, which was working fine for sometime. However, all of a sudden one day, my mail stopped working correctly: The inbox is constantly thinking (the circiling bars are always circiling), it does not move emails to my offline mailboxes, it does not erase emails, it take at least 15 minutes to receive and/or send emails. I have tried to update the envelope index but no change. I have the same account on my ipad and iphone, and both work fine, only on my mac book (lion ISO) is it not working.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
