Mavericks upgrade has corrupted my Mail program

After upgrading to Mavericks I can no longer open my Mail program, click the icon in the dock and all I get is the Mail menu bar at the top of the screen, no email program on screen, I can still see my desktop, any ideas as to what will fix this, tried Safe Mode boot, didn't help, tried clearing my Caches, didn't help.
Thanks in Advance

Sorted it now, it was a mail account that seemed to be corrupting the whole program, disabled every account and then turned them on 1 at a time, when I found the corrupt account, I just disabled it again and it's now working fine.
Mail menu, then Preferences, then uncheck the Enable this account option on all the accounts, close mail, reopen, then enable 1 account at a time, close then reopen, should work until you find the corrupt account, once it stops working uncheck the last enabled account and continue, mines was only 1 account, so it was easy to solve.

Power failure corrupted my Mail program - H E L P !!!

I just went through a power failure. The Mac OS has always survived nicely in the dozens of times I've experienced such things before. However, this time Mail got totally melted.
When relaunching the other programs I was running ( Keynote, Pages, Safari, etc. ), the only thing I lost was any unsaved work in an open file. With Mail, it ate my whole list of e-mail accounts (which I have several).
When I relaunched Mail, it went through the account set-up for my main account. When Mail finally opened, the only account was that one and non of the history of other accounts was anywhere to be found.
Fortunately, I am running +Time Machine+. The big question is, What files do I move where to restore the proper account settings and files for Mail?
(Please only respond if you have THE answer — I'm just a bit panicked at the moment and don't want to screw anything else up trying helpful hints that might make things worse.)

This is not THE answer! But it's a harmless check you can make to ease the panic (I had a problem with upgrade from Tiger to Leopard where all my email accounts and mailboxes were showing fine, but there was nothing in them!).
Go to ~user/Library/Mail, and have a peek into some of your email account folders - assuming they are there of course, which will be your first sigh of relief. Then check out the size of the INBOX.mbox in each account - if all your messages are there, those should all be a reasonable size, depending how many messages you had in them.
Then you can relax a bit. Your messages will be there, it's just a matter of how you get Mail to 'see' them, which is where my expertise runs out, I'm afraid.

Mavericks upgrade has trashed my MacBook

Upgraded to Mavericks a couple of weeks ago and everything going relatively ok. All maintenance and updates done.
Yesterday evening I got the hanging grey screen on login. Arghhh!
Tried to resolve issue in various ways but nothing worked, i.e. live file system repair failed, unable to boot in safe mode, unable to reinstall, etc.
Reset PRAM and lost the login screen, to be replaced by the flashing question mark folder. Double Arghhh!
Created a bootable USB today. Recovery HD partition still couldn't repair disk nor could it unencrypt it ("error -69749: Unable to unlock the Core Storage volume"). Also wouldn't allow me to reinstall Mavericks as valid password not unlocking (FileVault protected) Macintosh HD.
Similarly, I couldn't unencrypt using Terminal:
                         diskutil corestorage unlockVolume UUID -stdinpassphrase
                         diskutil corestorage revert UUID -stdinpassphrase
Naturally, I hadn't got round to making a backup of my most recent photos, etc.,
I can't believe my perfectly working MacBook is dead. Obviously I'll try a wipe and clean install but how can I retrieve my data asap, ideally tonight as I have an online tax return to do....
Currently have a working Mac but no firewire cable. An external drive, a bootable USB, and a Windows 7 notebook.
Ideas? Anyone?

Mavericks upgrade has killed my FCProX abilities!

I upgraded to Mavericks, and now I am unable to share a video project to my desktop - this is something I have done without problem for quite some time, and now I have no abaility to do it at all? Poppycock! Why is it happening, and how do I fix it?

Thanks for the help guys - I figured it out and saved what I could. The events I had created were lost in the upgrade, and it took a long time to regain the ability to export, but I was able to find the raw files and start over.

Mavericks upgrade has knocked out iPhoto and Aperture

Mail program not responding with maverick

After upgrading to Mavrick, my mail program has become unresponsive. I have reset accounts several times and now it wont load. Help

First I'd backup your whole Mail folder.
Try trashing this file first, then logout/in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
If that doesn't work try the .plists in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/

Mail from Apple wipes out mail program? Possible Virus?

Howdy
This morning, while my wife was reading her email, she received, via the mail program in her Macbook Pro, an popup from Apple, telling her about upgrades in the Apple Mail Program. She clicked on the popup, read the info, decided there was nothing new, clicked out, and all of her email was gone.
I have been looking around her computer-her account info has been deleted, and another account, with her name but a @me tag substituted.
Also, I checked the mail folder in her library, and they are blank.
Any thoughts, help, will be appreciated.
Thanks
rlmslo

Mail under Lion is 5.1
I do not know of any upgrade since Lion.
Please gieve us some more info about the message and your (yours wife sytem).
You can try to look into the basket to see if the content of the Mail folder is there.
Can you enter her Mail server (iCloud or MM or amithing different from Apple) and see if messages are There ?
Probably you find some.
What do you mean by "tag" in @me substituted (surry for my english).

Will Maverick have changes to Apple Mail

Will the New Apple OS X Maverick have changes to the Mail program? If so, where can I read about these changes?

I don't remember that Apple said anything about Mail during the Mavericks preview. You can access to some of the new OS X Mavericks features in this website > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/ I'm sorry, but you will have to wait until OS X Mavericks is released to know if there are changes in Mail

Mail has to be forced closed to power off after maverick upgrade

After taking the maverick upgrade to power off the computer I have to force close mail. Not a huge deal but wondering if there is a setting I don't have right. I'm pretty new to this mac world...less than a year...so I'm still learning. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Odgenite,
Please first complete your profile, if you don't know how please click Profile Update for instructions.
The first thing to do is restart in Recovery Mode, open Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions 2x. If you don't know how to start in Recovery Mode then hold down the Option key when you hear the startup tone and you will see what partitions to start from. Choose Recovery, then open Disk Utility. After running Repair Permissions 2x restart normally and re test. If this does not work then open in Recovery Mode again this time reinstall OS X, this will leave your data alone however it is ALWAYS wise to backup your data prior to doing any update or upgrade.

What is the deal with the new Mavericks version of the Mail program..? I cannot simply double click in the address book to place names in the address line?

I can no longer simply double click on a name in the contacts list to place that name into an an email??
You now have to select a single name(or a group), and hit the "TO" button.
Have the engineers at Apple gone nuts?? They just made it more difficult to add names?? Are they going for a windows workability??
If anyone out there can tell me how to go back to this feature, please, please let me know..
Adding addresses is now not working very well....?? Please help!
Randy

OK, JUST TO CLARIFY: I OPEN MY MAIL PROGRAM. I then start a new letter. I then click on the little person icon button which opens up the address/contacts list. This action does not open up the address book as such.
I simply want to select various contacts from the list. But now I can no longer simply go down the list to double click on those contacts that I want to automatically drop into the TO field of my new message. It does not work any longer in Mavericks??
Now I have to click on each contact, and then go up, and click again on the TO button ....
Can Apple please stop making tasks more difficult?? The previous version worked great, and now it has been upgraded so that it doesn't work as simply as it did??
Frustrated.!!!

Mail Issues since maverick upgrade

Since upgrading to Mavericks I have been having the several issues with Mail. The are as follows:
Scrolling is available intermittently or not working at all (using Magic Mouse)
Problem: Scrolling works for a while when using mail, then stops working. I have to click on the side bar to go up and down on all scroll screction within mail. This issue only resolves when quitting Mail, and sometimes will only work again when shutting down and restarting my iMac.
Scrolling on folders withing the main body of my iMac also stop working from time to time and only resolves when force quitting finder, or restarting my mac (or somethime shutting down and restarting the mac).
Email address pull down menu does not close down
Problem: When typing an new email and selecting an outgoing address the pull down menu appears, but once an address is chosen using the mouse curser the pull down menu remains on screen and does not close down automatically. I can not close it with teh mouse curser and have to use the keyboard (return or tab buttins) to close down the drop down address menu. It used to close down prior to Maverick upgrade. The pull down menu remains on screen blocking access to the CC and Subject sections.
Saving Mail attachments to desktop folders does not work.
Problem: Saving attachements from mail does not work at all using the drop down menu within mail. The process of using the save attachments menu within mail seems to work, but when you go to the folder after using this process, the item or items have not been saved.
Click and drag is the only way to move attahcements from mail to desktop folders now.
Mail will not quit automatically when shutting down Imac
Problem: When shutting down my iMac, mail will no longer quit automatically and prevents the shut down. Once shut down has been selected, Mail will no longer quit and I have to use Force Quite to shut it down.
Would welcome suggestions on how to resolve these issue.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling from the install DVD - but no go: no longer compatible, evidently.. What to do?

My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling the Mail program from the install DVD, but no go; apparently that two-year old Mail is no longer compatible with my up-to-date Leopard. I tried deleting the account (hotmail) from Mail and setting up a different account (Yahoo). After loading all the inbox two things happened: first, I still couldn't send, and second, when I closed the Mail window the whole inbox then disappeared and doesn't come back. Although I couldn't reinstall the Mail program from the install DVD, would it still be possible to reinstall the whole system from that DVD? If I do, will I lose files or will there be another problem since that DVD is now over two years old?
Thanks for any suggestions; they will be much appreciated.
P.S. I've just noticed that now I can't change the desktop picture: I go through the motions in Preferences, but the new picture doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a systemic problem?

You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
Upgrade Fee
It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on.

TS3276 Maverick's Mail program

Does anyone know why Maverick's Mail program does not update gmail messages in a timely manner?

I have been using Mac Mail for the past 10 years without any problems. Since the upgrade to Mavericks, I have encountered a number of problems (mostly with gmail) and missed important email messages. It's to the point where I cannot trust the software to deliver my email with integrity.
Apple, if you're listening, this fix needs to happen soon or your customers will move on.

After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program?

After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program? Also, mail is sometimes slow to load in mornings on my iMac after it has appeared on my iPhone. I temporarily solved that by shutting down and reopening mail two or three times.

I have the same problem on my iMac. Most of what it puts in the "junk folder" is junk. I delete all of the messages in the folder and they're back the next time I check it. I have messages in that folder that have were received 2 months ago! I'm thinking of unchecking "junk folder" in preferences. Very frustrating.
