MSN hot mail, in box & folders not responding, locked up!

Hotmail screen is displayed, cant access items in my in box or folders. Able to access hotmail via internet explorer.

Hi, UjackH. The fact that Hotmail is now called "Windows Live Hotmail" and no mention of the Mac appears anywhere in connection with it should be a clue that Microsoft isn't catering to Mac users any more as far as Hotmail is concerned. And specifically, though I can't find any information about it in the Hotmail "Sign Up" area, I suspect that Microsoft has abandoned any pretense of compatibility with Mac OS 9. MS stopped development of MSIE for OS 9 about 4 years ago, and abandoned MSIE for the Mac altogether two or three years ago. Even the final OS X-native version of MSIE, v. 5.2.3, is now too outdated to handle many modern web sites, possibly including Hotmail's.
You would do well to ditch Hotmail and get yourself a free email address with a Mac-friendly and OS 9-friendly host. But be prepared to find that the number of email hosting services that still support OS 9-based web browsers is dwindling, and MSIE 5.1.7 (the last version for OS 9) is probably not good enough for some of the ones who still support other OS 9-compatible browsers. I suggest trying WAMCom Mozilla 1.3.1, which I find to be the best OS 9-based web browser for my own purposes.

Mail hang and is not responding in activity monitor after mavericks update

I click on the mail icon in my dock it just hangs and wont open. The activity monitor says it is just not responding. Any suggestions?

You have a program running that is incompatible. What third-party sound or audio applications are you running? It will be one of those. If you quit them the problem should disappear. You will have to force quit coreaudio and UserEventAgent via Activity Monitor or restart the computer but do not run the third-party application(s).

Mail-enabled Public Folders not accepting email from external users after migrating from Exchange 2003

We are in the process of trying to decommission our Exchange 2003 server, all of the replicas have been moved to the Exchange 2010 SP3 servers. However, each time we dismount the public folder store on the 2003 server (just to see what won't work) nobody
from outside the company can send mail to the mail-enabled public folders (we use these to communicate with vendors and customers).....they sit in the 2003 mail queue until I remount the store.
I have mail disabled them on the 2010 PF server, waited a few hours and then mail enabled them again. Same issue. Interesting to note is that when the PF store on the 2003 server is dismounted people inside
the company can still send to the mail-enabled PFs (which is good). I am stumped.

Hi,
There is similar issue in the below post.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/20dc0f53-41c2-4275-a391-fd9b0907a7e1/after-move-all-replicas-to-exchange-2010-mail-enable-public-folder-stops-receiving-external-emails?forum=exchangesvrdeploylegacy

Mail-enabled Public Folders not showing as enabled in PFMC or EMS

Good morning
I have some PF's that are mail enabled, but running the Get-PublicFolder cmdlet shows "mailenabled" attribute as False. Also, in the PF Management Console, the folder shows as not mail enabled (with an option to enable it).
I found this thread that seems to be related:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/918aad03-c96f-4023-89cc-ec2c66e51b93/mailenabled-public-folders-not-showing-as-mailenabled?forum=exchangesvrgenerallegacy
I'd like to do some testing, but recreating this issue with a test PF is actually really hard.
Does anyone know a way to force that "mailenabled" attribute to False after mail-enabling a PF? I can't find any ADSI attribute that is obvious. I changed MsExchRecipientTypeDetails to <not set> but that didn't do it...
**UPDATE** I just found out that msExchMailboxGuid is missing from that object. Does anyone have any kind of suggestion for how I can find the Guid of the mailbox that is no longer associated with this PF?
**UPDATE 2** I have found other PF's that are missing this attribute, but they are not displaying any symptoms. They are showing as mail enabled in the EMS and PFMC. So I guess this isn't a required attribute.
Could anyone explain the purpose of this attribute for mail-enabled public folders? I just assumed it was required.
Thanks!

Hi,
Do you migrate these mail-enabled public folders from previous Exchange server to Exchange 2010?
Please check if you can see the SMTP address for mail-enabled public folders via Properties of Public folders.
Please check if they show in the Microsoft Exchange System Objects in ADUC.
Besides, I recommend you mail disable the public folder and then mail enable it again to check the result in the Public Folder Management Console.
For a mail-enabled recipient, a minimum set of attributes is required to make all Exchange components work properly. For example, a mail-enabled entry (a user, contact, group, or public folder) has to have at least these attributes: mailNickname, legacyExchangeDN,
and displayName. Without the mailNickname attribute, an object is not considered mail-enabled.
Best regards,

Anyone experiencing Mail.app in fullscreen not responding after screensaver?

Hello all!
I did a quick search in the forum but found nothing related. I am noticing that my Mail.app that is in fullscreen is not responding to mouse clicks (ie I can't click on Inbox) after screen saver has started. I don't know if time plays a role however I am noticing the issue after 15 mins, my break. Anyone experiencing the same?

I have proven that the problem is being caused by the Software Update HT204210.
I went and purchased new iMac (LOADED) biggest, best iMac I could buy. New iMac has the most recent versions of softwares and OS, EXCEPT the latest update, Software Update HT204210.
System ran perfectly. Email was working as designed. No hangs ups, no errors.
Then the automatic Software Update ran last night (03/02/15) and installed Software Update HT204210. Now today 03/03/15 the system hangs and Mail stops responding.
APPLE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS - here it is, viable proof that the Software Update HT204210 is causing this issue. FIX IT !

In email when switching from 1 mail to another ff "not responding" how to fix.

when checking email then switch to another ff locks up and on top it says ff "NOT RESPONDING" Then it turns almost white. Sometimes it will flash brightly and then start working, sometimes needs to restart. This all started when ff updated itself to version26. No problem in ver 25. Writing this I am using "Ice Dragon 26, which is built from ff, but have no trouble like I do with ff and ff has been my favorite. What to do?

Yahoo! mail? Many, many users have discovered all kinds of problems and glitches with Yahoo! mail in Firefox when using an old bookmark saved before Yahoo!'s recent server changes.
I suggest clearing your Yahoo cookies and entering through the main page to get a better address for your current mail server.
To remove your Yahoo cookies -- save any pending work first -- call up the Cookies dialog while viewing any page on yahoo.com (or your Yahoo site). You can use either:
* right-click the page > View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then go to one of these Yahoo addresses and click on login or mail from there:
* Yahoo home page: https://www.yahoo.com/
* My Yahoo page: https://my.yahoo.com/
* General mail redirect: https://mail.yahoo.com/
* AT&T users: http://att.yahoo.com/
* Other country sites (not on .com): the main Yahoo page for your country
Does that help?

Mail Problems - SMTP server not responding: "offline"

I am currently testing DSL service for a month; set up Mail just before I downloaded the 10.7.3 release. Tested it once and it worked; did not use it to send emails since because I am only testing this (including the email address). I have been receiving emails (which I forwarded to myself from my cable provider's website); today, I wanted to send an email and a 6 hour troubleshooting saga began....
Total of 2 hours with Centurylink tech support; 1 1/2 hours with Applecare, and another 30 minutes with Centurylink.
During that time, all different settings were tried, turned on/off. POP server ok, SMTP server not responding. With Applecare, tried it on both the iMac and the Macbook; also tried it after booting into Snow Leopard - SMTP server not responding ("offline"). Applecare tech stated that it has to be the server since we tried it on two machines as well as SL. Centurylink insists there is nothing wrong with their server, but it's Mail's fault.
So, I finally gave up for the evening, but wonder if there is something amiss with Mail in 10.7.3 (both machines are on the same version) and during the troubleshooting, I noticed an anomaly: in a new message window, there was no choice to choose an account to send from which I thought was odd.
I was thinking of a new install or to clone back? My clones are up to date though, I have no older clones. I do have a fresh install but it's also the latest one from MAS. Or I could just boot from the fresh install and set up Mail to see if it would work?
Grateful for any ideas....

Thanks to everyone; as you can imagine, all settings/configurations were tried yesterday (even booting into SL); Apple said it's Centurylink's fault, and they insisted there was nothing wrong with their server.
FWIW, I unplugged my Comcast cable (it is still active though and I'm getting TV reception, just unplugged the modem for now); right now, my internet access and email account are with Centurylink for the test. I still access my Comcast mail via their web interface email account.
Anyway, thanks to a good friend's idea, I decided to check keychain access and to make it short: the issue is fixed and the problem definitely had something to do with the OS because:
When I first checked keychain, this is what I saw:
I then checked Comcast settings and there were two: one was checked "allow all apps..." and the other had the "confirm" with Mail listed under the applications.
So I figured it's so screwed up, I probably can't make it any worse, so I deleted the Internet Accounts and added Mail to the smtp.centurylink...:
And......... it then worked! These default "internetaccounts" obviously aren't being recognized by Centurylink's server?
And, to make sure that was it, I not only did the same thing on the Macbook, but also booted into a pristine "backup" fresh install (no added apps or files, just default OS), launched Mail and couldn't send. Launched Keychain, changed the apps to Mail, and I was able to send email.
I would call that a bug? Or not? In any case, I'll be calling back Applecare and tell them to add the above to the very long log from yesterday and to make a note that "internetaccounts" doesn't work with everything.

Mail-enabled Public Folders Not showing as Mail-enabled

We have completely migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 (SP1 Rollup 5). Many, but not necessarily all, of our mail-enabled public folders do not appear to be mail enabled in either the 2007 PF Management Console or the Shell, yet they are mail-enabled in the 2003 System Manager and we can send email to them. If we mail-enable a folder in the EMC, it blows away any previous email addresses and creates a new one.
Any reccomendations on how to get 2007 to accurately display the properties of these folders??

Issue description: Mail-enabled public folders can’t show as mail-enabled status in the EMC and EMS after migrated from exchange 2003 to exchange 2007, right?
Troubleshooting:
1.       Please use “Get-PublicFolder” to check the output of a migrated problematic public folder, see if the value of “MailEnabled” is “True”
Get-PublicFolder -Identity "\problematic public folders name"
2.       Please find out where migrated problematic public folder objects exist in the AD. By default, mail-enabled public folders should stay in the “Microsoft Exchange System Objects” container. You can use ADUC or ADSIEditor to verify their current location
3.       I assume that link between mail-enabled public folder and its AD object has been broken during the migration. So, I suggest you to create a test mail-enabled public folder, and compare the attributes of its AD objects with the problematic one with ADSIEditor. This will tell us if there are any incorrect values in the attributes of the problematic public folder objects
a.       Launch the ADSIEditor (Start->run-> ADSIEditor.msc)
b.      Locate problematic mail-enabled public folder object and the new created one
c.       Right-click the objects and select “Properties”. Then, compare their attributes in the “Attribute Editor” tab
Notes: Please select all three checkboxes in the “Attribute Editor” tab, it will save more time during the comparison

Mail incessantly loading AND not responding

hello, thank you for reading my post!
i have a problem: i got my mac membership a few months ago, set up mail, & everything was working beautifully. then about some time last week, when i clicked on "mail," the mail application opened, but my inbox was empty. the beachball started spinning around, letting me know that it was loading. i wasn't fazed at first...but it kept doing that for about 15 minutes. i can't click on anything or manipulate any buttons (file, edit, help..nada). i always have to "force quit" mail from the apple (it shows up in the little "force quit" window as "not responding"). oh, and i can never force quit while in mail, i always have to open another program like safari or something such to be able to do it. i'd really appreciate your feedback..please help
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

thank you for answering to my post actually, you know what, mail was just being ..foolish. i was taking pictures in photo booth, and by accident i clicked on "email." Mail loaded, and voilà! what do you know, there goes all my mail from my multiple accounts. only, some of the mail that i had previously deleted (from my multiple inboxes) was still there. i still can't believe that the solution was so simple..and accidental. i'm sorry if i made you go through a lot of work. i waited about a week to make sure that the problem wouldn't fix itself.
thank you so much!! if mail acts up again and my "solution" (lol if you can call it that..) doesn't work, i'll try what you said. thanks again!

My mail at desktop is not responding

my mail at desktop is not responding

I called AppleCare and they helped to solve the problem.
(1) Backup your mail.
     Desktop -- Finder -- Go (press Option under Go submenu) - Library
      In Library, you will find Mail folder, you can copy/backup it.
(2) Remove Mail config files
     Desktop -- Finder -- Go (press Option under Go submenu) - Library
     In Library, you will find Preferences folder, remove the following two files
     com.apple.mail.plist
     com.apple.mail.plist.lockfile
(3) Restart Mail
      Normally you do not need to setup your mail accounts. If not, please setup them again.
Hope this is helpful.

Elements Organizer Not Responding - Locks when gets to "100%"

This is simply unacceptable. If I understand right, EVERYONE who uses Organizer finds it does not work properly when you have a lot of pictures (I have lots). It locks as the app starts, while it searches <watched folders> - gets to 100% then "Not responding" error shows. I can't go in and tell it to stop watching folders, since it is locking. Ideas anyone, before I return this and get a refund? And shame on Adobe for allowing this to continue - there is someone who owns this function in the software development group, and they need the opportunity to find new career challenges.

Firefox screen goes grey/not responding/locks up/

When I have fire fox open and running then proceed to do open another screen or make changes in tools my screen goes a shade of grey and in thew upper header task bar I get a firefox not responding error. I see a swirling icon and it might take 30- 2 mins to catch up to what I want to do.
I have made sure that all other windows programs are closed so the only thing on the system is firefox. When I do have firefox up and running I do have the Ebay Sidebar for Firefox open and logged in.
Is it something to do with firefox 3.6 ver or is it the side bar?
This happens on average 4-5 times a day.
Rick Westover

Apparently you DO have a hardware problem, but you'll need to be able to show the repair technician the screen while it is acting up if he is to diagnose and repair it.
Hope this helps

Fire fox not responding, locks computer, have to use task manager to reset

Firefox continually stops responding when I click on a bookmark. I get the info at the top of my screen that Firefox is not responding. Now if I go to MS office and am working in Word with Firefox in the background, word freezes. I go to Task Manager, it says Firefox not responding. End task and office works. Even without office running, I still get the not responding problem. I use Windows 8.1 on a Dell desktop. This problem has been happening since Friday the 21st.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

I get a dialog box to allow a cookie from Yahoo mail but it does not respond and locks up the entire browser. All other sites work fine.

The sign in page for yahoo mail wants to set cookies. I get a dialog box that asks to set a second cookie but it is unresponsive, eitehr to check allow or close it. Going to task manage says the site is waiting for input from me but I cannot get the browser to respond in any manner whatsoever.
All other tabs work fine and the yahoo site can be opened with IE fine.

Set up to "Ask me every time" in the Privacy elections. I think I found the problem. Looks like there were two dialog boxes, the second right on top of the first so I could not check the first one so it never got the OK and kept waiting for input.
Seems OK now.
