I noticed that you're getting the same error as at least two other people and myself. You can look at this link for more info, though we don't have an answer as to what causes this error yet:

Mail "New Message" won't open a new window

When I open Mail and do "File/New Message" no window opens to compose a new message. Is it because the Preferences file is corrupted? Can someone suggest a solution to this problem?

Hi Paul,
If you are running v10.5.3 as your profile suggests, you need to update your system software.
Click your Apple Menu / Software Update...
You can try troubleshooting the Mail .plist file.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
Relaunch Mail. Try File / New Message. If it works, then move that .plist file to the Trash.
Note. Make note of your Mail / Preferences BEFORE trashing the .plist file.

Mail.app stopped downloading new messages from pop3

Hello,
I met this on both the latest Tiger and Panther: came after two weeks away and had no new mail. Strange. The Mail.app logins to pop3 server, sends a password, looks for the new messages, and that's all. Nothing is downloaded.
When I checked the mail via web browser, I had found about 600 messages there - most of them just a spam, as usual.
Whatever I tried (permissions, delete and create account, rebuild...) nothing helped.
BUT.
When I *manually deleted* some messages (via web browser), Mail.app started downloading. For me it looks like there is some message number limit, about 500 messages, and if there are more messages on the server, nothing is downloaded. I believe it's a bug - at least some error message should appear.

By the way, my Mail App is version 5.3

Mail Icon shown 1 new message but I cant find it.

My Mail icon shows 1 new message but I have double checked every folder in Mail and cant find it. Could anyone help its really buggin me.

Greetings,
There isn't a new message, but this indicates that your Mail index needs to be rebuilt. Select All the messages in that account (Command-A) and then choose Message>Mark as Read (if it doesn't give you that option, then choose Mark as Unread and then go back and choose Mark as Read). If you select the account in question, then go to Mailbox>Rebuild, Mail will rebuild the index for that account; then you shouldn't have any new messages indicated.

Mail won't recieve new messages

Last week MAIL stopped receiving new messages. All the account info is correct, it's connected to the internet and it will still send messages. The new messgaes are there if I log onto the webmail, and they still bounce to my blackberry...but not in MAIL.
The only cause I can think of is that last week the hard drive was filled to capacity and that when MAIL stopped getting the new messages. I quickly cleared up 20GB of space but still no mail. Could the lack of free space have corrupted the MAIL program's abilty to get new messages?
Any ideas of what I can do?

Who is your ISP or email account provider for this account?
If a message cannot be successfully sent by the Mail.app for whatever reason, the message will remain in the Outbox mailbox. A message moved to the account's Sent mailbox is an indication the message was successfully sent.
Open a recent sent message that was reported by the recipient as not being received and at the menu bar, go to View > Message and select Long Headers.
If there is text next to the Message ID field such as:
Message-Id: <[email protected]>
This is another indication the message was sent.
You can contact your ISP or email account provider for the account and provide them this Message-Id number or they may have you forward them this sent message with long message headers for the sent message shown. Your ISP or email account provider for this account should be able to trace the message to it's final destination.
For the most part, a successfully sent message is either accepted or rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server. If rejected for whatever reason, you will receive a return email bounced error message from the recipient's incoming mail server indicating why the message was rejected. Other than that, this indicates the message was accepted by the recipient's incoming mail server and what happens to the message after that is beyond your control.
Regarding the receiving problem, quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded. Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file (which may have become corrupt when you didn't have adequate free hard drive space) and empty the Trash.
Launch Mail and if successful, any previously downloaded messages that remain on the server will be downloaded again by Mail along with any new messages available on the server not yet downloaded.

In Contacts, I don't have any duplicates, but in iMessage contacts on iMac in Mountain Lion, the contacts it provides for a new message are all doubles. Why and how can I fix? Thx.

I also notice that each contact says iCloud in it twice, but when I go to iCloud.com, there are no duplicates either. Help..

mdd770,
Try Contacts>Preferences...>Accounts...remove {-}/re-add {+}your iCloud account.
If that is not successful, follow the steps listed in iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts.

Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem caused by their toolbar.

Mail won't show new message windows

This is weird.
I needed to email a photo to a friend. I drug the photo from iPhoto to the Mail icon in the dock and nothing happened (a new message window didn't pop up with the photo attached) I tried this 3 times and still got nothing. I swiped to another desktop (in Lion) and i could see the new message windows, all three of them, with the picture. When I landed on a space they disappeaered again. When I swipe to a new space they appear and then disappear when I land on that space.
I've shut mail down but haven't done a full restart. Any other ideas why this didn't work and then now how do I fix my problem?
Thanks…
Here's a picture of what I'm talking about…I don't know why it's upside down?!

I've never seen anything like this reported before. Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
If the problem persists, proceed as follows:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. Try to reproduce the problem, and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that could have been written there as a result. Do you see anything that could provide a clue as to what's going on?
Now, try this:
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts, and create a new user account for testing purposes.
2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
3. Log in as the newly created user and set up Mail anew there. Does the problem happen there as well?

Get all new messages does not work on all accounts

I have several accounts set up. using "Get all new messages" works about 20 percent of the time.
I have tried "repairing" all folders - no change
tick to "include this server when getting new email" is greyed out
All accounts pop off the same server, same isp.
Used to work - but has got worse and worse over the past year.
Can't find anyone else on the forums with the exact same issue.

Check : Make sure all of these are selected for the problem pop mail account
* Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings
* select : 'Check for new messages at startup'
* select : ' check for new messages every eg: 15 minutes
* select : ' Automatically download new messages'
* click on OK to save and close account settings.
If these settings are already selected, then something must be overriding a setting.
So try this:
* Tools > Options > Advanced > General tab
* click on 'Config Editor' button - it will tell you to be careful :)
* In the top search type: biff
* look for this line : mail.server.default.download_on_biff;
* If Value = 'false', double click on that line to toggle the 'False' to 'True' or right click on line and choose 'Toggle'
* close window - top right X
* click on OK to save and close 'Options'.

TS3276 incoming messages are not shown automatically even though in 'preferences' i have set to check every minute. I have to click the mail icon to see new messages. phil

incoming mail does not appear automatically even though preferences is set to check for new mail every minute

If by download bar you are referring to the spinning gears, they are gone in Mail 6.5. There is no indication Mail is checking for Mail. If it finds Mail, it will show it downloading in the lower left hand corner.
Under the Window menu there is Activity. Try opening it and you should be able to see if Mail is checking for new mail.
