Mail icon won't stay in dock

Recently my mail icon removed itself from the dock. It may be a sync issue because it started when I began using my second laptop and trying to use the iCloud/mobile me sync.
My mail wasn't on the dock in #2 when I started it. I went through and tried to make everything equal to machine 1 but some programs are not the same. The next time I started machine 1, all of the dock items were equal to 2 so I reset the dock items on 1. When I went back to 2 they had reverted again.
Now my mail icon won't stay put on 1. It was removed (mysteriously) from the dock. Now when I put it back, it disappears within a few seconds. If I open mail and then click on "keep in dock" and close mail, it disappears, too.
I have reset my sync data to replace mobile me with info from machine 1. No luck.

I seem to have resolved the issue by moving mail from the applications folder to the desktop. Then dragged mail from desktop to the dock. It seems to have stayed in the dock.
I moved mail from the desktop back to the applications folder and all seems fine now.
I am going to leave the "sync dock, sync widgets" options off.

My mail icon won't open

my mail icon won't open but the bar goes across and i can't open my mail from there either. Also when it goes to the top of the screen it won't let exit it and i have to do a hard shutdown. can someone help.

With Mail quit....
Go to the User's Library folder. This folder is hidden by default. To unhide: Select the Finder in the Dock. Under Go in the Menu bar > hold down the Option key and you’ll see the Library.
• Go to Containers. Drag the com.apple.mail folder to the Desktop
• Go to Mail folder.
Select the V2 > MailData folder.
Delete any files in MailData with envelope in the name. (should be 3)
• Go to Preferences. If you find any com.apple.mail.plist files, delete these.
Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
Log in
Open Mail. Mail will reindex your files.
Let me know if this helps.

Having been on Thunderbird for some years I have suddenly got the following message when trying to send mail.
An (SMTP) error occurred while sending mail. The server responded: Requested action aborted: This mail account has sent too many messages in a short amount of time. Please try later..
I have checked the SMTP server settings in tools, account settings and they are as they have always been. Is there something I have missed?

Sending through web mail is totally irrelevant to using an SMTP server. The message even says it is from the server. Why do you think this is a Thunderbird problem.
The provider has put in place measures to keep people from spamming other email recipients using thier SMTP server. You have seen the result of those measures.

HELP! Mail icon won't go back to default after upgrade!

I used Candybar to customize my icons. I had made PNG files for just about everything. After I upgraded to Snow, my Mail icon now shows as a PNG preview icon, instead of what I made, and won't go back to it's Default (blue eagle icon).
What I've tried:
- Mail info, repasting new icon, no go.
- Candybar, redoing new icon, no go.
- Mail info, cut preview icon, no go.
Help! Do I have to reinstall Mail or something to get an icon back? Nothing works! Even new PNG or ICO files!
Thanks!

I figured it out.

Mail Icon won't stay in the position in the dock where I put it

I have a very strange happening on my iMac (OSX 10.5.5). The mail icon in my dock won't stay in the position where I put it. After a few seconds, it moves to the last position in the dock (before the dashed line). If my dock is at the bottom of screen, the mail icon moves to right just before the dashed line. If my dock is on the right side of screen, the mail icon moves to the bottom just before the dashed line. Each time I move the mail icon to another position in the dock, it moves back to the last position. Can anyone help me figure this out - so that I can put the mail icon where I want it to appear? Thank you. Dale

first a question for you. are you using Mobileme? I've seen a number of posts with the same problem by people using Mobileme (which i don't have). haven't seen a resolution to this but you might want to check in the mobileme forum. If you are not using mobileme try resetting Dock preferences. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and restart Dock by running the following terminal command
killall Dock
This will reset your Dock to the default and hopefully fix the issue.

Mail Icon won't disappear

My Blackberry Tour has been displaying the mail icon for the past few days, but I have no new mail. How do I get this to go away?

Hello,
You can try this:
Homescreen > Messages > > Search
Set as follows (may vary depending on your device OS level):
Search Type: Local
Name In: Any Address Field
Subject Message: <leave blank>
Include Encrypted Messages: Yes
Service: All Services
Folder: All Folders
Show: Unopened Only
Type: All
That should return to you all unopened messages from all message conduits.
Good luck and let us know!

This morning I cannot open the mail Icon. It worked last night. What happened?

This morning I cannot open the mail Icon. It worked last night.

I'd first recommend restarting your computer before taking the steps below.
Click the Finder icon on the left side of the Dock to open a new Finder window (if no new window appears, select New Finder Window from Finder's File menu).
Select Applications from the left sidebar.
Locate Mail inside of Applications and double-click the icon to launch Mail.
If this doesn't work, could you provide some more information as to how you're opening the application and what you're seeing?

Mail icon won't stay on dock

When I closed out my mail program today, the icon disappeared from the dock. If I hover over the spot where the icon is suppose to be, it says Mail. I can click that empty spot and my mail program opens by why won't the icon stay?
I tried going into my applications from Finder and dragged the icon to the dock, but all that did was open the mail program. When the program opens up, an icon will appear.
I tried rebooting but that didn't help.

Sounds like the problem in this thread:

Voice Mail Icon Won't Go Away!

Hello All:
I have a Z30 and I have 10.2.1.3062. I was left a voice mail a while ago and after listening to it the first time, I saved it and listened to it again 3 days later. After that I deleted the saved message. However, the voice mail notification continues to show on my screen/Hub. This is despite the fact that the voice mail says that I have no new or saved messages.
I have tried leaving myself a message and then deleting it, hoping that it would get rid of the icon, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Have you removed the battery then re insert to reset the phone? If that doesn't work, give your carrier a call.

Vocie mail icon won't clear

About 4 days ago, it wouldn't go away after deleting my new voicemail messages. I have searched all of the menus and haven't found a way to clear the icon. I even deleted all of my saved messages to no avail. Anyone know how to clear the icon?

If you have an errant VOICE MAIL waiting icon on your home screen:
* Call your voice mail and clear the message.
* Call your BB from another line and leave a message. From you BB, call your voice mail and clear and delete your messages.
* If the above fails, pull your battery to reset and reboot your BlackBerry.

Mail icon won't change when I receive new emails

I have 2 mail accounts on my 8530. I can still receive and send email from both accounts without
a problem. Now, however, when I receive email, neither icon changes to show that little red asterisk. What happened? Anyone know how to re-activate that notice/icon change?

Odd...OK...here's a KB that discusses more things to try. And perhaps this one as well.
Good luck and let us know!

Try leaving yourself a new message , wait a few minutes and then erase it.

Desktop Problem-Icons Won't Work or Won't Adjust

Yesterday my desktop icons decided to not work. I could not open from the desktop, move folders, etc. It is as if they were all locked. I COULD open Finder, go to Desktop, and open files and start apps from there. Then I went to View Options, clicked Snap To Grid, and all icons moved. I then turned it off (None). But the icons won't respond. They are stuck in "Snap to Grid." I still can't open a folder on the desktop, but applications will now start.
This is a bizarre one. Any help would be appreciated.

I've been having this problem as well, restarting only corrects it for about an hour or so. Was not able to find the library com.apple.finder.plist file in my library and then did a universal search using that string and no results. Not sure why other people have that preference file and I don't. This is a frustrating problem that will influence my decision to purchase new Macs in the future. It's a real time waster. In addition, often when I click on a folder, it comes up empty, even though there may be hundreds of files in the folder. It seems it's part of the same problem, inasmuch as the finder can't process data nodes correctly. The only solution is to open the folder, close it, and open it again and then the files inside it appear, albeit slowly.

Icons Won't Return? Help!

The icons on some of my Mac OS programs only show a piece of paper and pencil, not the icon it's supposed to show. This happened when I transferred my files back from the new imac to this computer via a network cable. I had to put everything back on again as the Tiger extensions got messed up. But why are the icons not showing up? What's going on here?
By the way, tried it with a CD and the CD even shows the wrong icon! What the heck...

It would help us to know which Mac "model" you have, which OS you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by going to 'preferences' which is located in the column on the right under your name, click on "My Settings" and filling in the information asked for.
This will help in providing you with the proper and/or correct troubleshooting solutions.
