Mail won't stay in dock

Every since installing Leopard and updating, Mail icon keeps leaving the Dock. I've created new User, done archive and reinstall, varified/repaired permissions, clicked on "leave in dock", etc. and yet every time I close Mail after using it, the Icon just disappears from Dock--thoughts? Thanks!! LT

What happens if you open your Applications folder and drag the Mail icon from there onto the Dock?
If that doesn't help, then the next thing I suggest is to locate the Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist from your Home folder, drag it onto the desktop, and then log out/log in (or enter killall Dock in Terminal). Then customize your Dock to desired. You can throw away the copy on the desktop if you find that the Dock works better this way.

Mail icon won't stay in dock

Recently my mail icon removed itself from the dock. It may be a sync issue because it started when I began using my second laptop and trying to use the iCloud/mobile me sync.
My mail wasn't on the dock in #2 when I started it. I went through and tried to make everything equal to machine 1 but some programs are not the same. The next time I started machine 1, all of the dock items were equal to 2 so I reset the dock items on 1. When I went back to 2 they had reverted again.
Now my mail icon won't stay put on 1. It was removed (mysteriously) from the dock. Now when I put it back, it disappears within a few seconds. If I open mail and then click on "keep in dock" and close mail, it disappears, too.
I have reset my sync data to replace mobile me with info from machine 1. No luck.

I seem to have resolved the issue by moving mail from the applications folder to the desktop. Then dragged mail from desktop to the dock. It seems to have stayed in the dock.
I moved mail from the desktop back to the applications folder and all seems fine now.
I am going to leave the "sync dock, sync widgets" options off.

Icons won't stay in dock

Some icons won't stay in my dock when I drag them from the applications folder, but others will.
I have tried the following without success:
-gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.dock.plist then done a restart
-gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.dock.db then done a restart
-gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.DiskUtility.plist then done a restart
-used disc utility to repair permissions
-opened an application from the applications folder then whilst the icon is in the dock used right click.options/keep in dock
-deselected dock synchronisation from mobile me sync
None of these measures work though iPhoto & iTunes are not affected by the problem.
The only workaround I have found is to create an alias of an application and drag this to the dock where it does stay put.
Can anyone suggest anything else?

Mail won't stay on just returns to dashboard

Hi when I go to mail it won't stay on with in seconds it goes back to home page?
Can anyone help?

Have you tried closing the app completely ? From the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPad Mail Won't Stay Open

My mail on iPad wil not stay open. Can anyone help? I have had the iPad since April 28. It was working ok. Today this problem started. I want to erase messages but it will not stay open long enough for me to do this

Thank you everybody! But I have solved the problem on both iPad and iPhone by deleting the email account and then setting it up again. I had it on to display 200 emails and once it reached that I could not erase as mail would not stay open. Does anyone think that this is a glitch in the iPad??
Once I deleted the account it got rid of all the emails and I am starting fresh again. Of corse all the emails are still on my computer!
Thanks for your replies!

Mail icon won't stay on dock

When I closed out my mail program today, the icon disappeared from the dock. If I hover over the spot where the icon is suppose to be, it says Mail. I can click that empty spot and my mail program opens by why won't the icon stay?
I tried going into my applications from Finder and dragged the icon to the dock, but all that did was open the mail program. When the program opens up, an icon will appear.
I tried rebooting but that didn't help.

Sounds like the problem in this thread:

Mail App won't stay in dock

My Mail app will not reside in the dock.
If I run the app and then check keep in dock it still disappears.
If I drag the app from the applications folder and put it in the dock it will disappear.
If I delete the dock preferences and reboot or kill the dock process and reset my dock completely
it has no effect.
if I make an alias it will stay in the dock.
Other apps will stay in the dock. this only affects MAIL
this is a 24 inch imac with the latest leopard and latest upgrades as of 09/13/2010
It just started doing this today.
I have turned off all syncing from mobile me. no effect
I have tried re-syncing to mobile me.
I have tried re-syncing FROM mobile me.
I see people have had this problem in the past with no help or answers ..... HELP!!!!

Additionally I get the following error every time I try and add the mail.app to the dock.
Sep 13 22:04:53 Dark-Snow com.apple.syncservices.SyncServer[299]: 2010-09-13 22:04:53.719 DockSyncClient[310:903] Dock Sync Client caught exception: ISyncInvalidArgumentsException: [ISyncConcreteSession clientAcceptedChangesForRecordWithIdentifier:formattedRecord:newRecordIdentifie r:keepAwayFromServer:]: you can't change the record identifier from 0D74D6B9-3A18-4AAE-AC81-3724C2D9ABC3 to /Applications/Mail.app: it is already associated with a different record.
Now what is peculiar to this is that the mobile me sync is not running at this time. I'm not logged into mobile me and have the sync turned off.

Mail won't stay open on my Macbook Air

Hi I am having an issue with mail on my Macbook Air i have Yosemite. It opens then immediately the view window closes but the mail menu stays in top grey panel any one know how to fix this please.

Try logging out and back in or restarting your Mac.
If that doesn't do it, try looking for out-dated add-ons, as shown here -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins

Mail won't stay open

In the last 24 hours Mail has started crashing the moment I open it on my IPhone. The mail screen pops up for a second, and then closes again. I've updated my software, but it had no affect.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Try pressing the home and sleep button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appears. This will give your phone a 'kick', you won't loose any data and it normally sorts the bugs out.

App Won't Stay In Dock Or In Place

I have an app, MarkSpace NoteBook, that refuses to 'Keep In Dock' and stay where I place it in the dock.
Opening the app is OK, it appears in the dock but it ignores the 'Keep In Dock' option and keeps moving itself to the last icon on the right. Closing the app causes it to disappear from the dock.
Never had this issue before on my old MacBook, only since I have installed this app on my new MacBook so I think its related to something on the new machine rather than the app.
Uninstalls and reinstalls don't help.
Any ideas appreciated.
Regards
NIALL 8-)

Since this is third party software,I think your best bet would be to ask the developer.

It does not seem like a OS X system issue.

Mail won't stay in folders in Mavericks. It bounces back to the inbox.

This happens intermittently. I will drag mail to a folder from the inbox after reading it, and a few minutes later, the mail will be back in my inbox. It doesn't happen with all messages, but it will happen over and over with the same emails. It never happened before installing Mavericks. Any help would be amazing, as this is seriously cranking my Inbox Zero obsession!

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
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), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Mail won't stay open on iphone!

Nothing has changed, I've just suddenly can't keep my iphone mail open, can't read, send, I open it and it suddenly it goes back to the home page.

Ok so I got mine to work. I went to iTunes and downloaded the new operating system which was available for my 3gs as an update... (and it's really cool by the way).
It updated my carrier settings as well and the entire process took about twenty minutes, half of which was spent transferring my purchases and apps to itunes to make sure I didn't lose them.
So DON'T restore, simply download the new operating system and hopefully you will be good to go.
Hope that Helps.

Mail won't stay on server

I have a cox email account. We access it via our 2 macbooks and now, my iphone. The macbooks have always beens set to "remove the mail from the server after a week". But since I got my iphone - the mail is being deleted every day. Please note that when I first got my iphone - it was downloading messages frrom the cox server (100 at a time). Since I had months of mail saved on the server, I went into the internet settings and chose to "delete all mail now" from all my folders. Thats when the problem started. I have re-set the email accounts in account preferences , and created a new email account for my self as well. I called cox, but they couldn't help. The mail just deletes from the server every day -- or it might even be as frequently as every time it downloads a batch to the server.

on the iPhone, open prefs, general, mail,
selecy account on list with double tap
click on advanced button
what is your setting for deleted messages?
mine is set to remove after 1 day, but you can set it to never delete, 1 day, 1 week or 1 month
hope this helps

Sent Mail won't stay on IMAP server

I have Apple Mail set up as the default client for my IMAP account. All incoming email remains on the server, but sent mail goes directly to the local folders on my Macs but does not remain on the server. Email sent from Thunderbird remains on the server, which suggests that it is an Apple Mail issue.
Can someone offer a suggestion about how this might be addressed?
Thanks much in advance.

When you have more than one account, there is a small black triangle beside the Sent Icon -- click it, and the separate Sent mailbox for each account will be revealed. Then employ the Use This Mailbox For command.
