Missing mail app

I have 10.3.9 on my mac but I don't have the mail application on my computer. I can't find an install on the web either can anybody help?

Well, Mail should definitely be there -- unless you deleted it at some point, that is.
Since you're running Panther, you'll need Pacifist to extract the Mail package from your Mac OS X installation disks and install it in /Applications/.
If the version of the system software on your installation disks is earlier than what you're using now (and only in that case), then you must also reinstall the corresponding Combo Update afterwards, to bring the Mail application back in sync with the rest of the system:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update

MacBook--missing Mail app, and OS Update trouble

Hi,
I'm trying to help out a friend who was given a rather beat used MacBook for free. It's a white MB, 2.2 ghz intel core duo
The OS is currently 10.5.8
Software updates does not indicate that there is any update available for this machine (does that mean 10.5.8 is it for this computer?)
The problem is, the Mail app is missing. That's all she cares about (and iTunes which I have backed up). So, I thought if I re-installed OS 10.5.8, it would put the Mail app back. Tried the Combo Updater, but it didn't work.
I repaired permissions before and after the update. I also Verified the disk--it did find some problems, but....
The CD/DVD drive is toasted on the machine--I was trying to insert Disk Warrior, or heck, anything for that matter, and CDs/DVDs won't mount--it chews 'em a bit and spits them out.
So, the dilemma is, how do I get the Mail app back for her? And if the machine WILL accept a higher OS than 10.5.8, how can I do it without a working DVD drive(I assume the fact that no "software updates" are found means that I can't download and use an installer for 10.6 and that I'd need to do via an actual OS disc (I may have my old Leopard disc around here somewhere, or I can borrow one). How can I repair the disc w/o a working DVD drive?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

You can do a lot on a Mac connected to another Mac in Target Disk mode. Both Macs need firewire ports, and you need a fw cable.
Here are the innstructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
In TDM the old MB's hard drive is on the desktop of the other Mac. You can do whatever you want to that drive, include repairing, installing, running Disk Warrior ... It is exactly like any other external drive.

My iphone 4 is missing mail app

Archiving mail on mobile does not reflect the archived state on Mail.app - it stays in "Inbox"

I am using the latest MacBook Pro on the latest Mavericks. The rest of Mail.app seems to work fine, but I have this very annoying problem.
I use multiple devices for email - my iPad, my Android phone, etc. The whole point of IMAP is that you can do this, without issues.
When I archive a message on mobile, it does not reflect as archived on Mail.app, no matter how many times I restart Mail.app. I even took it offline, then back online a few times.
This is specifically for gmail and Google Apps email accounts. Any ideas?
thanks
Amit

Same problem here.
I have several imap email accounts. They are different. Some are Gmail, some iCloud, some custom, etc...
When I archive, reply, delete, etc... emails on my Mac using Mail.app, they reflect on the iPhone. But when I do the same on the iPhone and get back to the computer, they don't reflect that way on Mail.app
I miss Mail.app that was in Mountain Lion. I didn't have this problem before.

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.

I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones

I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
cheers
Tom

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

Attachments missing in mail.app

I have noticed the following problem with an imap account:
I am looking at a message that has an attachment but the attachment is not shown in mail.app. In its place there is a generic graphic with a question mark. I right-click, choose "Download Image" but nothing happens. When I log onto may email account using a web browser and check the same message, the attachment is there (a bmp graphic, in this particular case). This doesn't happen with all messages that have attachments but I've noticed it at least twice in the past couple weeks (and perhaps more often, but I generally ignore attachments).
Themis

I have the same problem: I use Mail with an imap server (in fact, exchange), and after upgrading to snow leopard quite often messages in Mail don't show the attachment; I DID figure out that if I rebuild the mailbox, as also suggested by others, the missing attachment is no longer missing and I can download it; rebuilding the mailbox is not such a problem, but, still, this is an irritating behavior; interestingly enough, if I check my mail on my iPod Touch, attachments are always there, but when I check it again on my macbook pro or mac pro they don't appear any longer

Mail app marked an email as junk, missed job opportunity. How can I fix this?

I pipe my school email to my gmail account, which I use the mail app to view. It usually works nicely, but I was going through my junk folder and noticed I missed a job opportunity because mail app sent it to junk. This has never happened before. I am so frustrated now, and I just want to fix it, or if its a bug, blame it on somebody lol. But seriously, this is unacceptable. I'm out of a much needed job now. Please help before I lose another one!

Maybe you just need to go to Mail > Preferences > Junk and do some more serious configuring, perhaps using the Advanced options, or at minimum, leaving Junk in your Inbox. Anyway, without seeing the email, it's hard to know why it may have been sent to Junk in the first place--too many links, maybe. (Sorry this happened to you though!)

Missing messages and other recent Mail.app quirks

HI,
Although I've read through many post on this issue, I haven't found one that seems to apply to my situation. And, the process seems really confusing... so I thought I'd ask you guy's.
I rebuilt my inbox's last night, and:
1. 1 of my 2 POP inbox's is now empty (except for a couple new mails today). There were about 150 messages.
2. My .mac inbox is receiving mails, but first the little spinner thing wouldn't stop spinning, and has switched to a blue clock looking thing that's stuck at about 10:30 (may have moved to 11:00 now?).
3. Drafts don't seem to be saving.
4. Seems that the audio feedback is gone or was gone (the sound is up and the speakers to work).
5. I was getting a strange error message when sending that I didn't write down (something to do with the Trash and 0 space or something).
I've been on this new machine (OS 10.4.5) since November with no Mail.app (2.0.7) trouble at all (I moved from a TiBook that had once had Panther on it). And, I didn't let this last Security update install. I had been trying to resolve some POP SMTP server issues, but went with .mac with the "reply to" option (I'm stuck in a hotel in southern China), and I did lose one email that I had just sent... which prompted the rebuild of the mailbox's. Still can't find that missing email- but I did get a reply from the person I sent it to.
There weren't many messages in that now empty inbox, but they were the important ones (which I think I located in Library > Mail folder thanks to you folks).
I can survive with issues 2 - 5 above if necessary, but I'd really like to deal with the missing message problem.
Should I just "import mailbox's" back in and hope it all works? Will I lose those new mails from today? Can you offer me any advice?
Sorry if I rambled on too much (too much spare time on a Sunday morning in China), and thank you in advance for any thoughts,
Guy

Guy,
Different answers for each file. The CachedData1 is a leftover file from an IMAP or .mac account -- Mail no longer uses that method of caching, so delete.
The two MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded are used with each POP account, and are still valid file types -- however, one of them should be modified each time you access your POP server -- check the dates modified again.
The two files named to begin with Incoming are leftovers, and probably must simply be deleted. They resulted in the mailbox where you found them when a message had been received (even if by transfer) and that mailbox was not opened prior to the conversion. In Panther, and earlier, these files would disappear when the mailbox was opened to view. It probably is only one or two messages -- the Incoming_Mail file can be read with TextEdit to confirm.
I think the Envelope Index Journal results during an incomplete indexing attempt Mail has made at some point, was meant to be temporary -- I am not entirely sure about this, but I do not have one.
The time out on port zero is one I need to research -- although I have seen a few reports, and think there is some explanation, I cannot remember as I write this.
There is an ongoing issue with .mac and continuation of the indicator for activity -- I see this on my iBook G4, but not on my G5. Useless needed for Offline use, set Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced to Don't save all message and attachment for Offline viewing, which may help. I hope this one get addressed in some future update.

Mail app functions missing

Since the IOS 6.1.3 update, all the most useful Mail functions have gone missing. These include Compose a message, Reply to a message, Forward a message, Move messages to folders, Delete messages. It seems I can only read messages. The usual buttons are all gone except for Edit.
To compose a message, I have to go into the Contacts app and cluck on an email address.
Is this a feature or a bug? Or something else?

Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of it.
then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your mail features.

Mail app missing "Archive" folder in sidebar for iCloud account.

This seems like it should be an easy fix but, it's not. I've been trying all day. Basically, the sidebar in the mail app now only provides Inbox, Sent, (VIP if set up) Junk and Trash. It used to also have three other folders. (Drafts, Archive and Flagged) Now, I am able to view Inbox, VIP's, Sent, Drafts and Flagged by the drop-down menu right above "MAILBOXES". But neither on the drop-down menu or the sidebar is the "Archive" folder located. If I want to archive a message I certainly can by clicking the "Archive" button in the top toolbar. But, the whole folder used to be in the sidebar where I can view "saved" messages just like I would on my iPhone.
I have found a way to put it back temporarily but if I quit the mail app, the folder goes missing again. These are the steps I have done to put it back in the sidebar.
Original image when app is opened: No "Archive" folder.
I click the gear on bottom left of app. And then I clicked "Get Account Info".
This new window opens up and give me options. And so I clicked "Archive" and then "Show Messages".
After doing that I noticed that the "Archive" folder is now back where I have always seen it. And, I can view all messages I've saved there whether it be from the mail app, my iPhone or iCloud on the web.
If I quit the application I have to start all over again to retrieve the folder. Although it's not a long process it can be annoying and for some reason it opens two full windows of the app.
I am only asking about this for iCloud e-mail not Gmail or Yahoo! etc.
Why is the folder not there anymore? How can it be placed permanently again?
I can import it but anytime I move a message to the imported "Archive" folder it's only saving desktops messages and not all that possess iCloud.
The simple question is how to keep that "Archive" folder in the sidebar, as it is pictured in the last picture, the way it used to be, all the time.
-Randy

I had the same problem today with (Mavericks) Mail and was able to fix this easily:
In the search bar, look up some email which is in the archive. In the upper right corner of this email you find two links: "details" and "archive ..". klick on that "archive". it will place the archive folder back in the sidebar permanently.

Controls to Mail app on iPhone missing

I have an iPhone 3GS. The 'controls' for the mail app have disappeared and I can't figure out how to get them back.
So I can see a mail message, I can scroll it, and change its orientation by tilting the iPhone, but the trash can icon and reply icon at the bottom along with the accounts button that is normally at the top are missing.
So simply I am stuck looking at one email with no way to navigate away from it.
Any suggestions on how to get those top and bottom nav controls back?
Thanks
-Ty

Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

My mail.app icons are missing

The icons (send, get mail, etc) at the top of my mail.app are missing.
If I click on the "search field", they will show up for a brief period, but then disappear again.

From the "View" menu > "Show Toolbar".
If you have selected more icons for your tollbar, than the toolbar can hold, click the ">>" to reveal the missing icons.
Or enlage the Mail window to make the toolbar longer.
Or customize it, to remove other icons.
Or set the toolbar to show only the icons and no text, to save space.
