Mail viewer window doesn't open

Just bought a new Mac (of course, the new software comes out next month), I transferred my old stuff from Time Capsule, everything works except Mail. When I open Mail no viewer window appears. When I try to open one nothing happens. When I try to quit I have to force quit the application. Tried searching for resolutions, but everything that comes up is related to 10.5; cant figure out how to restrict the search to 10.7.

I don't suppose it's already running? Try force quit just to see if it's running.

  • Mail Viewer Window Does Not Open on Launch. Mail Will Not Quit. MAIL BADGER

    <UPDATE> After detailing all of the problems below, I discovered that trashing the Mail Badger bundle solved all of the below problems. I am still posting this just in case anybody else has this problem.
    Problems:
    1. When opening mail.app, the program opens, but it does not launch a Viewer Window. I can open a viewer window manually from the File menu, however.
    2. When quitting mail.app, it will not quit. It does not matter whether I hit command-Q, or Mail>Quit Mail, or right-click on dock icon and click Quit. The only way for me to quit is Force Quit. No matter what Quit command I execute, nothing happens. The Viewer Window does not close. (The Viewer Window will close on command, however, either by clicking the red 'x' or by command-W, or by File>Close.
    3. Cannot send mail from mail.app. Upon clicking "send" on a new email, it just goes to the Outbox and sits there forever. I can try sending the email again from the Outbox, but nothing happens. (I have 4 gmail accounts, with a couple thousand messages between them. There are no problems with port configurations or smtp servers or anything like that - I am fairly certain anyway because nothing has changed w/ regard to the account settings between the time it was working and the time it stopped working.)
    4. After minimizing the Viewer Window, clicking on the mail.app dock icon does not restore the Viewer Window. The only way to restore the Viewer Window is to click on the Viewer window itself in the dock, rather than clicking on the application icon.
    Notes: I have installed 10.4.10. I have also installed Safari Beta 3.0.2
    I previously installed Safari Beta 3.0, then uninstalled it and upgraded to 3.0.2. I don't recall when the problems started, (under 3.0 or 3.0.2), but they all happened at the same time (rather than one at a time).
    I have uninstalled Safari 3 and reverted to Safari 2, but this does not fix the problems.
    I have repaired disk permissions.
    I have booted from the OS X Install disk and repaired my startup disk.
    I have not had any problems with Safari 3 "hanging" on install, thus corrupting the WebKit, as described in other threads.

    I had the same issue and resolution. Spotlight search for "Mail Badger" and deleting everything resolves the issue.
    I'm also running Safari 3.0.2 and 10.4.10...
    I've emailed the developer to let him know about it..

  • Mail Viewer Window and Email Opening Issues

    About a week ago I began having some significant problems using Mail on 10.5.8 that I have never had before. I opened Mail, only to find that while it opened on my menu bar and I had the little circle indicating it was open in my dock, no Viewer Window opened. Also, I couldn't quit the app without Force Quitting through the Apple menu in the menu bar. I could right click on the icon in the dock and open a Compose Email or a New Note window, however it would not allow me to send said composed email. Instead, Mail would hang and I would have to force quit as "Application not Responding". The beach ball would also be evident and a Force Quit required.
    A buddy recommended trying to open a Viewer Window through the File folder in the menu. I did that, a viewer window DID open and mail synced itself up to allow my inbox to show all recent emails I had received and read. Unfortunately, if I clicked on any email in my inbox, it would not load the email in the preview pane or open the email with a double click. Instead I would get a message saying "Loading" and the beach ball reappeared. Force Quit required.
    I found some solution somewhere which suggested rebuilding the database by moving the Envelope Index to my desktop from Home/Library/Mail to allow it to rebuild. I did this and it rebuilt a new Envelope Index, but the same problems exist. Frankly, I only have about 100-125 emails in my system so it is not exactly an overburdened mail system. I also do not have any mail haxies which would be causing this. Any thoughts or solutions? I would like to be able to check mail from somewhere other than the Mobile Me web browser app. Thanks.

    Not trying to be "That Guy" but I am bumping in the hopes that someone has a solution to this annoying and vexing issue. Thanks.

  • Mail Viewer window does not behave according to Apple User Guidelines

    I offer this up hoping that an Apple Mail engineer will see it.
    Why, oh why can we not click on an open, visible Mail Viewer window in the background and bring it up to the frontmost application unless that click happens in the Mail Viewer Toolbar???
    No other application misbehaves this way.
    Long overdue for a fix, imo.

    this does not need a fix as it doesn't behave like that (on my Mac).
    Any part of that window that sticks out behind the top view application is enough to bring that window forward.

  • How do I read a winmail file when it is attached to an e-mail?  It doesn't open the right way in Excel on my iMac.

    How do I read a "winmail" file when it is attached to an e-mail?  It doesn't open in Excel on my imac, just code...help! 

    Winmail is for Windows only. Excel does not open emails.
    Ask the sender to send the file in a more up to date format.

  • I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

    I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • The Firefox window doesn't open at all I can't run safe mode or make other trubleshot changes

    since yesterday 08/10/2011 the Firefox window doesn't open at all I can't run safe mode or make other trubleshot changes. When I click on the desktop short-cut the Firefox windows starts loading but before open is crushing.I have sent several messages to you but no answer and my Firfox is not working.

    There are other ways of opening safe mode given at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode - See if that helps.

  • CHANGING BACKGROUND COLORS ON MAIL VIEW WINDOW?

    The light blue area on the left of the mail view window seems to not have enough contrast to clearly read the number of emails sitting in a particular mailbox. Is there any way to customize the background color to make this more readable?
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    Bruce, do you see the darker blue background to increase the contrast with the number, or just the white number on the light blue background?
    should look like this:

  • Duplicate Mail Viewer Window appearing without apparent reason

    This isn't a leopard Mail problem per se. It was exactly the same in Tiger and stayed this
    way after an archive and install (preserve settings).
    I connect via imap to a server (Novell groupwise)
    If I click and hold on the Junk folder icon and do Delete Junk Mail
    This works, but automatically also opens up a new Mail window with all the folders to the left
    etc as if I asked it to open a New Viewer Window.
    It also happens some other times but I can't recall the conditions.
    Yes, I have tried moving the preference file out to the desktop
    and no, there is nothing special in any rules. I just have the Junk rule
    and stop rule, stock standard.

    Hi Peter,
    Since it is a different provider, I guess we can't just blame the provider.
    The only thing that seems to work with the iPad is to tell the unit to delete the email account information and then reenter the information manually. Doing that every few days is getting frustrating for the users over on the other forum.
    That may be the only solution for your case, delete the account information and reenter all of it. If you go that route, I would say get rid of all of it, not just the password item. Something strange is going on here with OS's resetting information unilateraly.

  • "viewer window" won't open automatically

    I realize this is not a big deal but it is annoying - On my black macbook when I click the "mail" icon in the dock it opens a viewer window immediately - when I do the same thing on my imac nothing happens - I have to point the mouse at "file" and drag it down to new viewer window - a pain
    Also, when I right click my mouse on the imac I have about 20 "inbox" icons which seem to me nothing - when I do the same thing on my macbook it shows what it should - i e inbox, get new mail, etc -
    both are using snow leapord and are set up identically - any suggestions would be most meaningful
    thanks
    Steve

    yes - I discovered I had minimized about 40 windows that I hadn't closed but merely minimized - that is so hard to believe I did -
    I went in and manually closed all of them and it fixed the issue
    Sometimes I'm so dumb I surprise myself and yet my family thinks I'm a genius

  • Mail app window does not open, mail won't send

    Ever since my upgrade to 10.7, my mail app has not opened a window (although the app opens). I can manually open a window from File/New Viewer Window. I also have to force quit the mail app, it will not close from Mail/Quit Mail. Also, it cannot send mail. I have been hoping 10.8 upgrade would solve, but no luck.

  • Firefox process starts but window doesn't open.

    All the suddenly when I start Firefox 11 the window doesn't appear but the process will start in task manager. Yesterday morning everything worked well, but when I came home at evening Microsoft Security Essentials wasn't starting it's protection. I got it working by installing it again. Firefox just doesn't open the window for me.
    -I have uninstalled Firefox and rebooted system
    -Ran CCleaner and Spybot S&D
    -Manually reset register values with regedit.
    -I have deleted all AppData and plugin files.

    You are absolutely right homercles. I should have been more precise with the things I did before I ended up on fresh install.
    My point in my last post was that I totally tried to re-install Firefox many times and did all the things other people told me to solve this problem. I even went to cycle throught windows registers manually that is also one thing that you don't want to do if you aren't absolutely sure what you are doing.
    My solution was absolutely the last thing you want to do to make things work and takes alot of effort, but as I made my judgement IN MY CASE it was the only thing I could do after week of trying to fix this.

  • Help! Mail freeze: window won't open, nor will it close so I can restart

    I've just had a strange problem with Mail. The window won't open - or has issues with opening (it did, but only briefly). It's generally having problems - its menus aren't dropping down - and I would like to quit and restart the computer (a Mac Mini). I've tried an apple q and nothing is happening. So the computer won't restart unless I force a shut down by manually holding down the button.
    Any suggestions most welcome…
