Mail Upgrade Failed. Launch mail assistant. Mail index damaged. Says it will repair when mail is launched but it never does repair it. Any idea why this is happening?

I downloaded Yosemite to upgrade from IOS 10.6.8. Mail will not work. It says the upgrade failed and to launch the mail assistant. Then the next message says mail index has been damaged. To repair it quit Mail. It will be repaired the next time you launch mail. However, this never works. I tried recovery and downloaded the software again but the same thing happened. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same thing happening.  Everything else seems to be working fine, except i can't open my mac mail at all!  it seems to be in a loop and won't let me retrieve any mail or even try to send mail before migrating, but it fails and then its back to the beginning and the same loop continues, so no mac mail working.  I also came from 10.6.8 to 10.10

    Mavericks is the name of your operating system. It is otherwise known as OSX 10.9.
    The previous versions were indeed "cat things".
    The way you would know if you need to download new software from Epson is to go the Epson website and search for your printer there, look for downloads, and see if they have new software listed for 10.9.
    You can revert your system back to what it was two weeks ago. This would be easier to do if you have a backup that you made prior to installing Mavericks (like with Time Machine). If you don't have a backup (sounds like you probably don't), you can look here for some directions about how to go back to the "Cat Thing" that you had prior to installing Mavericks: How to revert OS X back from Mavericks: Apple Support Communities
    If all of this is too hard for you, you could take your Mac in to your Apple store and ask them to help you.

  • When getting email from google mail, I am  missing many emails which I can see on my desk top. I get the last 7 days of emails, then I miss two months of emails, then I get month 4-6. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening.

    yes all emails are in the web based gmail. I have not deleted the account. I forgot to mention that it has been working on my iphone for over 2 years quite well and while I was giving access to the same gmail account to my wifes new iphone when this happend. It changed both the emails on my existing phone and my wifes new phone.

    No idea at all, it might help if you gave more information, what type of mail, who provides it, any error messages etc.

  • Since I downloaded Firfox 4.0 I am having trouble sending e-mails. Norton sends the e-mails back stating the e-mail can not be sent. Any ideas why this is happening?

    Why is Norton returning half of my e-mails that I forward? This started happening after I downloaded Firefox 4.0 on 3-25-2011.

    Thunderbird saves your drafts every five minutes by default. Sometimes auto-saved draft messages aren't cleaned up, giving you the impression that the incomplete messages are also sent. This happens especially for drafts stored on an IMAP server. You can change the configuration to save the draft messages locally by going to Tools -> Account Settings -> [account] -> Copies & Folders- > Drafts and Templates -> Keep message drafts in... and choose Drafts folder on Local folders...

  • Any idea why this desktop file won't launch the application?

    I have been trying to get this desktop file to work so I can launch epsxe faster. However, it does not do anything when I try to run it. Mind you I do have the permissions and group set correctly. Here it is:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=ePSXe
    Comment=Enhanced PSX emulator
    Exec=/opt/epsxe/1.9.0/epsxe
    Icon=/opt/epsxe/logo.jpg
    Terminal=false
    Type=Application
    Categories=Game;

    You REALLY do have permissions set correctly? Mind posting a "ls -la /opt/exsxe/1.9.0/"? Have you tried setting Terminal to ture? You could run it in the background with &. Also, have you tried reading the manual pages for your PSX emulator?

  • I can no longer use Google's keyword tool in firefox. I just upgraded to v9 but that didn't help. Any ideas on this?

    This worked for a long time. Now, it simply does not display the page. Could it be a java problem? Or, is it something to do with firefox.
    FYI I can still use this link in Chrome so it's not a pc issue.

  • Changes that i make to song display in iTunes, will not carry over when I sync to my ipad. This is only since i upgraded to ios7 and downloaded the latest itunes. Any ideas why?

    I use my iPad for music when i teach my dance class. The default layout in the music program on iPad is: song title, artist and album. I need the name of the dance, so in iTunes, I right click on the song title, then choose "get Info".  I then edit the info and under album title I write in the dance name. Then when i sync the iPad still has the same three columns, but the info i need displays under the album column.  UNTIL i upgraded to ios7 and installed the latest iTunes.  When I synced last night, after adding new music, the songs that were already in the playlist, stayed the same. ALL the new songs were placed in the playlist but none of the info that i edited synced.  It shows it as i want it when i look at the playlist in iTunes, but it does not carry over after the sync. 
    I hope this makes sense and does anyone have any idea why?

    Amazing! I'm a dance instructor and am doing the exact same thing as you - and not seeing what I need on my iPad Air ... I can't believe there has been no reply on this! I also can't believe there isn't an easy way of seeing track info in the iPad or iPhone but I've spent hours searching and am not finding anything

  • Mail upgrade failed: osx lion

    I have a Macbook pro 17 intel dual core.
    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and I have encountered the following problem.
    Mail begins the importing of messages and once the import is complete it moves to the migrating data step
    "MAIL UPGRADE FAILED"
    An error occured during the upgrade. Click continue to launch the Mail Import Assistant, which will help you create a new library and import your existing messages"
    When I click "Continue", the following message appears
    Your Mail index has been damaged. To repair it, quit Mail.
    Mail will repair the index the next time you open Mail. Your mailboxes and messages will be preserved.
    But of course, Mail doesn't repair itself the next time it is opened....this just continues to happen.
    Any help? I have read threads that suggesting deleting Mail preferences can help. Interestingly, I can't find mail preferences in the library folder

    I fixed my issue, though it took hours of trial and error.
    First, check Console (Applications/Utilities/Console) and click on All Messages in the left sidebar.   I had a message about permission denied to copy a file during the upgrade.  I manually moved that file to the desktop.  After that the message migration finished, and Mail launched.  Hurray I thought!  But on reboot, Mail would not launch.  It just hung.  This time there weren't any helpful messages in Console to be found.
    I read over these threads for the tips:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3189986?start=0&tstart=0
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15666804#15666804
    As best I can remember (it's been a long night), this was my process:
    (Force) Quit Mail
    Navigate to userI/Library/Mail folder
    Move the entire Mail folder elsewhere, like your desktop
    Launch Mail.  At this point it should be be prompting you for info.
    If you don't have anything on your machine only, just put in your info and download everything from your server from scratch.  You're done!   If however you have my problem with 164,000 messages stored locally, read on…
    Quit Mail
    Back in user/Library there's a new Mail folder.
    One by one, move the items from the old Mail folder to the new one and launch Mail.  Make sure to move the user/library/mail/v2/maildata/accounts.plist first so it stops prompting you for account info.  Make sure to quit Mail between every file move.  If you don't see a v2 folder, or a v2-temp folder, it means the migration hasn't happened yet.  Just keep moving things over until it does, cause the migration changes the directory structure of the Mail folder.
    At the point you move your old archived messages over, the next Launch Apple will import and migrate all the messages.  This can take anywhere from 2 minutes to 45 depending on how many messages it needs to cull through.  
    I ended up moving everything but the RSS folder items back, and Mail is once again stable.
    At some point I also booted into Lion Recovery partition (hold Command + R at boot) and ran Disk Utility to repair permissions.  However I don't believe that actually helped.
    Good Luck!
