Mail stops shutdown

Hi
I have recently switched from Outlook 2011 to Mail for email management. I am running OSX 10.8.4. and Mail 6.5
I am finding that frequently, when I go to shot down the macBook Pro, Mail is not c losing down and stopping the shut down, and I have to do a force quit.
Has anyone any ideas what might be causing this and how to fix
Thanks
Alex

Happen to me a few times too..
Sometimes if you wait it quits but takes a while and need to be quit twice or more or as you say force quit.
Very upseting.

Mail stopping shutdown

When shutting down, shutdown is interrupted as mail refuses to quit. I have to force quit mail every night before I can shut down

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Shutdown from Lion, Mail stop the shutdown.

Hello,
i have the following problem. If i want to shutdown the iMac with menu - shutdown, i have often the problem, that mail stops the shutdown. Only a hard kill from mail will shutdown the mac. What can i do ? Has someone the some problem ?
Thx

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3) < your profile
If that is correct, try updating your system software. Click your Apple menu > Software Update.
And try "force quitting" using Activity Monitor (located in HD > Applications > Utilities) instead of Command + Option + E or force quit from the Apple menu.

Why does mail cancel shutdown?

when I try to shut down a message appears Mail cancelled shutdown.
Also when the iMac goes into sleep mode by itself (on timer) it cannot be awakenned by touching a key as it used to.

Upgrade to 10.9.2 regardless, unless you depend on Airplay:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6831
This will not fix your issue with shut down. Mail if busy according to the Window on Activity, will likely stop shutdown until it is finished. You should stop mail from all activity, and then quit Mail, and then shutdown.
As for the sleep issue, that may be do to connected peripherals not compatible with Sleep.

Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.

My entire iCloud mail system is messed up. I have worked on this for days. It works sometimes after I restart my computer and then just stops for no reason. In addition when the mail stops it refuses to let me reboot my iMac. Any ideas?

I'm praying somebody here has an idea to help me. iCloud has suddenly gone nuts on my iMac. It works only when it wants to work and then stops for no reason. When it stops I am no longer able to click the mail icon and open any mail even the old stuff that was there. No changes were made to my computer. This all started out of the blue. When the mail stops working it will not close out to allow me to restart my computer. It won't even allow a forced quit. No changes were made to my machine. My iPhone still get mail but only after I click the mail icon. It does not pull mail in and show how many new emails I have like it did before. I have a me.com email if that helps. Any ideas would be truly appreciated.

Mail stops downloading from pop3

Hello,
Our company uses GroupWise 7, and I have MBP and Mac Pro downloading messages from the pop3 server using Mail.
Few days ago, Mail stopped downloading new messages from the server on BOTH MBP and Mac Pro.
1. The pop server is running fine for other users. Users download messages using Thurnderbird and other clients.
2. When Mail checks new messages, Activity Window tells me that it logs in fine, but returns no new messages although there are.
3. I've tried to reset the program by deleting the preferences file. Initially, it downloads missing messages fine, but after that it stops working again. This only works one time.
4. I've tried to resetting the program and the counter, but it hasn't worked.
Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Please help!
Thank you very much.

Yeah, after a little further digging I found this thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1603761&tstart=135
It seems that they still don't have a fix, but an alternate to resetting the phone is holding the home key for 5-6 seconds while in the mail app. This will restart the app and get your email flowing again without having to restart the phone.

Mail stops pushing to the phone

Anyone have this issue? My icloud e-mail stops getting pushed to my phone. If I go into e-mail it downloads messages that were waiting but don't get pushed. This has happened on my 4s and my wifes 4. I had to hard restart to get it back to work on both phones. I had this issue with earlier version of iOS and Apple issued a fix for it in a later release. Just wondering if other poeple are having the issue.
Thanks!!!

My iPhone 4S also does this. Email from an iCloud account pushes for part of the day and at some point quits. I have to either go into the mail app to get mail or restart the phone to get the pushing to work.

Mail stops accessing mails

Mail stops accessing mails in most cases after downloading many of them. The rest will follow then and when. I am not sure if there is a rest because I forget the number of the downloaded mails when the procedure is finished.

Welcome to the forums Oliver... good work at narrowing the problem down so far!
Try dragging this file to the Desktop and reboot...
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Might also pay to clean caches, I use Applejack, but there are many. The log makes me think cache especially.

Mail Stops Responding While Sending Messages

Mail has been freezing on me a lot lately when I am sending a message. I tried to find a pattern, and it seems the problem is multi-tasking. Since I have Activity Viewer open all the time, I can see what Mail is doing. If I send an e-mail and try to do something else in Mail before the message is sent (as shown in Activity Viewer), then Mail stops responding. This something else could be opening the original message, opening a different message, deleting a message, filing a message, viewing a different folder, etc.
Does anyone know why this happens and if there is anything I can do?

I am seeing the same issue just as you described. Have you managed to find a solution? It just seems to be a recent problem.

Mail Stops receiving mail after phone in standby for a while.

We are currently running Exchange 2003 SP2. We have direct push enabled on our server.
I have setup an iphone to use one of our exchange account and mail is received straight away on the phone. However once the phone has been on standby for a while (Cant give exact time) mail stops coming through on the phone. As soon as you bring the phone out of standby and do something on the phone the missing mails come through. We know there is nothing wrong with our server as we have a WM6 device that constantly receives the same mail.
Anyone else had same issues?
Settings on phone are :
iPhone 3G
2.0 (5A347)
Wifi is disabled
Push is enabled
3g is enabled

We upgraded to Exchange 2007 and upgraded phones to Latest OS and problem seems to have gone.

and the mail stops at least once a day until I restart the Server or the Transport service. I tried disabling the databasedrivespacetrigger Per the fallowing thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/1471af00-e987-4c5f-8601-609c157bee66/diskspace-events-exchange-2013-cu2v2-1006?forum=exchangesvradmin
The Volume its complaining about is the "System Reserved" volume created during the server install.
Does anybody Know how to turn this off or have any experience or comment about increasing the size of the System Reserved partition until this thing is Happy?

Hi,
I recommend you disable the trigger in the Microsoft.Exchange.Diagnostics.Service.exe to check the result.
You can find it in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\V15\Bin\Microsoft.Exchange.Diagnostics.Service.exe (it's a config file)
Change "ExchangeJobs.Triggers.DatabaseDriveSpaceTrigger" from "True" to "False".
A similar thread for your reference.

Hope this helps

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.
