My mail app in Mountain Lion freezes

My mail app in Mountain Lion freezes a few second to a few minutes after launching. I have already re-installed the OS but it didn't help.  Any thoughts?
I have one exchange account that I have removed and reinstalled.  I've tried to see if it's conflicting with any of my other apps, I can't find anything there either.  Never had this problem before, but would like use of this app.  Thanks.
Mark

More info.  It seems to freeze when switching between mail and other apps.  It then becomes impossible to switch back to the mail app, though mail will be indicated in the app name just to the right of the apple menu

  • How to enable logging for mail.app in Mountain Lion

    I am at my wits end trying to figure this out....
    Does anyone have a clue how to enable the logging for mail.app under Mountain Lion?
    In the past, you could open up Console and click on Console.log and see the logging of mail. Under mountain Lion, there is no more console.log. I cannot figure out how to enable it.
    I have tried to run the AppleScript of "Turn On Logging" but the script errors out under Mountain Lion.
    Does anyone know how to do this or a better way, maybe a tool or something that can help you troubleshoot mail.app issues?
    Thanks in advanced

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem. The script "Turn on Logging.scpt" runs without error, but I do not see any socket logging. I only get two messages, which I also get when I start mail without the script by just clicking the mail.app icon in the dock. The Messages are:
    1/10/13 3:43:32.618 PM Mail[11276]: Using V2 Layout
    1/10/13 3:43:36.388 PM Mail[11276]: *** -[IADomainCache init]: IA domains cache is out of date.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

  • Mail.app with mountain lion

    Is somebody else having trouble with mail.app with mountain lion? I upgraded today and I got the Message:
    "Mail Stores Information in /mypathformail/  If this folder is in your computer, use the Get Info window and change permissions for folder to Read&Write"
    I already checked and it is like that.
    Ideas?
    TIA

    I know about the "get mail" button. This is what I am getting (the [!] icons next to each of the mailboxes)

  • Problem with mail app on Mountain Lion?

    I need help to fix my native mail app, that stoped working. It's blocked. I'm using Mountain Lion OS. My accounts work fine in the Iphone and Ipad.

    hello there, I am jumping in the conversation because I am in the same situation. Up to yesterday evening my mac was working fine, but since this morning, Mail creates a general crash of the system. When I open Maill I have the wheel working for ever, and force quit doesn't help. My solution so far has been to shut down (holding the power button down). I rebooted using the safe boot mode, installed the last update for mountain lion, restart and boom, mail crashed again.
    also finder window doesn't come up front.
    any help welcome.

  • Importing Eudora Address Book into Mail.App on Mountain Lion

    HELP - I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion (10.8) and didn't realise this meant that my beloved Eudora died on me!
    Undaunted I successfully imported my mailbox files from Eudora into MAIL albeit they need cleaning up.
    BUT I cannot find the address items anywhere?!?!??!?!?
    I have a MACBOOK PRO that's about 2 years old (2.4 GHz - intel 5 - 4GB RAM) if that makes a difference.
    Three questions:
    1)   Does MAIL use the CONTACTS file on the MAC  ???
    2)  Where the **** are the addresses?  I can't see them in my "EUDORA FOLDER"  IF I could find them I guess I could have a go at importing them into my CONTACTS.
    3)  IF sorry WHEN I find the contacts should it carry over group addresses ???
    Many Thanks
    PC

    I feel your pain.

  • Mail app on Mountain Lion receives no emails

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with mountain lion.
    I tried to set my mail account (Hotmail) .
    The problem is that there are no push notifications so I configurated to check for new mails every minute!
    I tried to send several emails from my account to myself but eventhough it has passed over 2 minutes...the mails wasn't in the mail app or the Notification Center...
    What can i do?

    This is a very tough problem, because it specifically involves the handling of Japanese text. Your crash seems to be the same as one reported on Apple Discussions Japan:

  • Mail app in Mountain Lion doesn't check mails anymore

    Right next to every mailbox there's the gray circle with the exclamation mark as if the accounts were offline. "Bring all accounts online" doesn't do anything at all, and neither does clicking on the exclamation mark. Quitting and reopening used to work for a while, now that stopped working. A restart of the computer seems to do the job, but I can't restart the machine everytime just to check mails... I tried deleting the preferences but doesn't do anything.
    Really annoying, mail worked just fine before this Mountain Lion upgrade. I recently had my routher exchanged, I believe the problem startet when I put the macbook to sleep, turn of the router, and later when I come back and connect to the internet mail goes crazy.
    Please anyones has any ideas before I'm going through the trouble of rebuilding the whole strucutre?
    Thanks a lot!
    MacBook Pro i7, 10.8.2 with supplemental update

    Could it be a possibility that this issue is somehow connected to my new router? I believe this problem started with the new router... So maybe there's a port issue or something?
    ***Edit*** 
    Alright, so the problem seems to have been the router blocking port 993 which is used by the pop accounts. Look like it works fine now, it had to be added as an open port in the router configuration.

  • Can I re-install Apple's 'Mail' app in Mountain Lion?

    I've seen similar posts, but none that quite match my dilemma.
    I installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    My mail account did not merge/migrate. By that I mean, no folders and no existing mail that was in those folders had populated themselves in my new ML Mail application.
       After much Google searching, I ended up just importing them from my latest Time Machine backup and now only those folders that had email in them in my last backup sit in "Import" in those specific folders.
    Now tonight, my wife's iMac account on first opening it seems to be having no problem migrating her 1,000s of emails.
    The only difference I can note is that upon opening Mail, there appears TWO (2) 'In-box' windows. I let hers run and they populated/migrated her old email into all of her existing folders.
    My account on the other hand, I had closed the top-most 'In-box' window, thinking I had inadvertently tried to open 'Mail' twice.
    Was it my closing that 2nd window in my Mail account that caused the migration to not take place?
    Can I reinstall Mail and have it migrate itself - or is there a way to force migration? I'm not convinced my Time Machine backup has all email that was there, particularly if I only imported from 1 recent backup.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • My Mail app in Mountain Lion takes forever to push mails

    i dont know what happened, before the notifications and the mail app worked fine,
    but now when i receive a notification from the Windows Messenger that i got a mail
    i dont receive any notifications in the notification center neither i receive the mail, i have to wait forever for the mail app to push that mail
    and get the notification, even it is set to check every minute
    is anyone experiencing this?
    is too slow:O

  • How can I repair a corrupted Mail app in Mountain Lion?

    Let me begin by stating I've been experiencing several issues in the Mail app off and on. Today, I was having trouble with my iCloud.com account not sending or receiving.
    I go to remove and re-add the account under iCloud settings under SyStem Prefs, and I'm told that the mail account cannot be setup through the Preferences pane. I'm told to set it up in the mail app itself, but this resulted in it adding the imap version, rather than using push mail.
    I decided to go and find every mail app related preferences file in the library subdirectories,, and deleted the mail folder. I did not locate any other .plist file anywhere else; although I could have missed them.
    Can someone please point out what else I can do to clear out Mail of all data and start fresh? Now when I launch Mail, it displays my prior account info, in spite of the prior deletions.

    When you open Mail, and go to the accounts, highlight the account giving you problems the click the minus sign at the bottom of the column to remove that account.  The click the plus sign and setup the account again the way it should be.
    See if that clears up the issue.
    Alternative is to reinstall ML, but you would be better off trying to straightern out the account itself first.
    To reinstall, restart holding the Command and R keys, then select reinstall, do not erase and install or you will lose all of your content.

    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.

  • Does anyone have an email client that is working with Mountain Lion? I'm giving up on Mail after installing Mountain Lion

    Hi
    I give up.  I just cannot see my exchange inbox in Mail after installing Mountain Lion.  My mail is not being deleted.  Its still in my inbox I just can't see it. I've tried everything suggested on the forums and nothing is working for me.
    My productivity has completely stalled and I really need to move to an email client that is going to work seamlessly with Mountain Lion. 
    Any recommendations?

    I have been having the SAME problem with ALL my Gmail accounts with Mail.app - It is very annoying, especially when you have clients and other important email to respond to.  So you're definitely NOT alone in this department.
    Might have to go back to Thunderbird or something until this gets fixed, which is going to really suck because I have 5000+ emails along with all my Email Folders in Mail not too mention the Rules I have had setup for years!
    AND with the RSS Feeds NOT working in BOTH Mail and Safari!  That was a HUGE MISTAKE and defintely a STEP BACKWARDS on whoever's idea that was for sure!

  • Notes.app in Mountain Lion leaves multiple messages on Google Gmail account!?

    Hello, I've set up the Notes app in Mountain Lion (10.8.2) to sync with Google Gmail Notes and I've come across something rather peculiar.  I typed a Note into the Note app, it created a message in the Gmail account with the label "Notes" like I read it was supposed to do.  (I'm still baffled why they designed the Notes sync this way but that is besides the point.)  Then I proceed to update the note in the app and it updated the note in Gmail.  I though, "sweet, it's working," so I began typing away.  After imputing a bunch of notes into the Notes app, I went over to Gmail and clicked on "All Mail" and to my surprise there were HUNDREDS of partial messages left behind by the Notes app!  Apparently everytime a note is updated and the Notes app syncs with Gmail (which is every few seconds), it creates a new message.
    I know that a work-around solution is to just use iCloud, but I haven't found an easy way to sync up iCloud Notes with an Android.  I know, I know, I should just get an iPhone and call it a day, but for those that use Gmail Notes, has anyone found a solution?  It's so annoying!!
    (I wonder if Apple did this on purpose so users will switch to the much easier iCloud and iPhone.  Hmmmm.)

    Good day all,
    I had the similar issue. I did the following to recover my notes before the upgrade:
    You need to locate the StickiesDatabase under your Library folder.
    Once you have a copy of your StickiesDatabase under
    /Users/<insert_your_home_directory>/Library/StickiesDatabase
    Export stickies created by Stickies.app
    Install National Velocity (NV) - http://notational.net/ and start the application
    In Finder open your Library folder and locate StickiesDatabase
    Drag StickiesDatabase into the list of notes in NV main window
    After you are able to see your notes in NV, it is up to you how to transfer them to Apple Notes. You could export as HTML/RTF etc or copy paste manually...  I have decided to use NV from now on.
    The instructions above is from the following page:

  • Mail created w/ mountain Lion will not open in SL10.6.8, or OS X yosemite.

    Mail created w/ mountain Lion will not open in SL10.6.8, or OS X yosemite.  How can I convert it to open?

    After a second call to AppleCare, they had advised me differently than before.  Once they found out that my personal computer has Mac OS X Lion installed from the App Store, they suggested I simply upgrade my parents computer to Lion.
    So, I used my download from the App Store and upgraded.  It went smoothly, but Mail still will not open properly.  And instead of the original error message, it comes up with this:
    "Check with your developer to make sure Mail can work with your version of Mac OS X.  You may need to reinstall the application.  Check if there are any updates available for the application."
    How can I re-install just Mail?  A startup disk is not accessible for me right now.  Can I download the latest version of Mail and install it from the Apple.com website?
