Mail wont open after upating OS 10.8.5

After updating my OS to 10.8.5 my mail opens but will not load.
I have looked for my mail folders to rename them, as others have noted. I cannot located the mail folders at all, anywhere not in the services subdirector, the cache subdirectory, and when I search for 'mail' on my computer it finds nothing but mail downloads.
The only thing I can find now, is to fix it reinstall OS.
I just want to know before I do this, is there anything else I can try?
Thanks

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
    Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
    When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
    The solution has been to:
    1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
    2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
    3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
    Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
    If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:

  • Mail wont open after servicing

    I had the Macbook serviced at the Arden Fair.  The genius "cleaned up" the laptop by pressing option and inserting the install disk at the same time. It took about 45 minutes.  Now my Mail application will not open.  Apple states that I must pay 49.99 for them to help.  Please let me know if you can help.

  • Mail wont open after installing 10.5.2 updates

    My mail in my profile works fine. The mail in my wife's profile will not open. There is a ? over the mail icon on the dock. This started after loading software updates today.

    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
     Cheers! DALE

  • My mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

    my mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open Mail or Safari.

  • Imovie wont open after mavricks update

    I movie wont open after updating to mavricks. help?

    Many people have been having the same problems this week because of he update. Someone on the forum mentioned uninstalling "Bonjour". +Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network - Wikipedia.+ If you have never needed it uninstall it. You could also try typing "MSCONFIG" in the Run selection under the accessories folder and un-checking it under the "Services" tab.
    I personally have had the same problems. What i did was i un-checked it on the MSCONFIG menu first and then uninstalled Bonjour.
    Hope all this helps
