Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Apple Mail: Not Responding

When I open my Mail program over the last few days it does nothing - does not even show the Mail Message Window. I have to Force Quit (message says Mail Not Responding). This happens over and over again. I used Disk Utility to check preferences and repaired all (not much there and nothing relating to Mail). Still won't work. In general Apple Mail has not been working well for awhile that along with MobileMe... delivering multiple emails of the same message and loosing Sent messages. What is happening to this program? Do I have to use Microsoft Office to find a dependable eMail Client software? As it stands I have started using Office on our other computers just so we can receive our email and not worry about loosing or storing Sent and Received Mail.
I am running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 on my workstation. I have Snow Leopard ready to install but was waiting to complete time critical work before installing new system software - perhaps that will be the answer to the problem(?). Anyone having this problem and if so - have you found a solution?
Note: I do receive mail on my iPhone and on iPad thankfully using Apple's Mail program but those are mobile devices - we require dependable email to run our business on our desktops.

Mail in Leopard should not have such problems. Disk Utility repairs permissions, not preferences. I'm assuming your only e-mail account is with Mobileme?

HT5361 Mail not responding with one user, but works with other user. Tried reinstalling Mountain Lion OS but did not work.

Mail not responding under one user. Need to Force Quit to get out of it. My mail works when I log on as a user. Downloaded the latest Mountain Lion updates and reinstalled Mountain Lion as per Apple Phone Support instructions
TIA

Thanks for reponding. Here is the Console display. I hope this can help.

Hey High Socks,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes isn't working when you try to launch it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Have a great day,

Desk top mail not responding

My mail system on my desktop has stopped working all I get is the spinning wheel nothing works at all. I then have to force quit mail and see the message Mail not responding. I have tried opening mail from the application folder but get the same result. Mail within Mobileme works perfectly. The only thing I can think I have done recently was to update mobileme calendar since then Mail has stopped working. Any suggestions appreciated thanks. I am using OSX 10.4.11 on the Powerbook.
Mike

Hmmm, as I understand it, some of the new Calendar functions don't even work in 10.5.8!?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.

Mail Not Responding On Open!

Hi There!
I hope some genius can tell me, why Mail isn't responding when i open it.
It doesn't even retrieve my mail, it just opens up, but then freezes and does
not respond. What's wrong?
Sincerely
Casper B. Hansen

Hi Casper.
Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Now, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet is at the top of the list.
Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it's running):
1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears.
2. With no Internet connection.
Post back with your observations.

im inhte mood to make big lemons to more correctly represnt and replace the apples onthe store fronts.
wish i'd bought a dell.

I've got something similar but not with a trackpad/multitouch, with any mouse, Mail does not activate if i click the Dock icon, nor inside the window, cmd-tab doesn't either. It's kind of a trick to get it active and it does this since some 10.7 update. Thought it would be solved in 10.8 no luck for me. And yes sometimes, it doesn't even fetch mail!!!

Downloaded latest update now pages that worked before result in firefox not responding why

hello peter, what kind of security software are you using? please make sure that it isn't blocking or sandboxing plugin-container.exe or adobe's flashplayerplugin_11_4*.exe which are used to run flash content.

Aol Mail not responding

Try to open Aol Mail and the rainbow circle says "not responding" . I have shut down computer and restarted, no help. This has been going on for 5 days. I can receive mail from aol on my ipad and iPhone..please help

I have been reading a great deal of posts regarding AOL mail in the last few days. I would go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and check the account settings. What troubleshooting have you tried? Reporting that prevents users providing help from repeating what you have already done.

Mail not responding after update to 10.10.3

I am having problems with the mail and its not responding? any ideas?
I tried deleting com.apple.mail.savedState method and it didn't work at all.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If Mail crashes or freezes immediately on launch, try the steps suggested on this page. Sometimes a corrupt message on a mail server can be deleted by logging in to the server through its web page. If Mail still won't launch, skip to Step 3.
Step 2
Select all your mailboxes, and then select
          Mailbox ▹ Export Mailbox...
from the Mail menu bar. Export the mailboxes to the Desktop folder.
Make a note of the settings for all your Mail accounts – everything you'd need to reconstruct the settings from scratch.
Quit Mail.
Step 3
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. Move the following items (some may not exist) from the folder that opens to the Desktop:
          Application Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
          Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
          Containers/com.apple.mail
          Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
          Mail
Note: you are not moving the Mail application. You’re moving a folder named “Mail.”
Launch Mail. It will behave as if you were setting it up for the first time. Go through the setup process with one of your accounts, using the information you noted earlier. Test. If Mail works now, recreate the rest of your settings.
If there’s no improvement, quit Mail and put back the items you moved to the Desktop, replacing any newer ones that may have been created in their place. Stop here and post your results.
Step 4
This step should not be necessary with IMAP or Exchange mailboxes, because they synchronize automatically with the server. Nevertheless, if the mailboxes are very large, importing them may spare you the need for a long download.
If you took Step 2, import the mailboxes you exported:
          File ▹ Import Mailbox...
Select Apple Mail as the data type.
If you skipped Step 2, look inside the Mail folder on the Desktop for a subfolder Mail/V2/Mailboxes. Import the mailboxes it contains.
Test. If Mail is still working, delete the items you moved to the Desktop in Step 3.

Mail not responding. App is open but will not quit or respond in any other way.

My Mail app is not responding. The Dock shows that Mail is open, but I cannot get the screen to pull up, quit or otherwise respond. I tried to restart, but Mail stops that from happening.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ Force Quit...
then select the frozen application from the list and press return.

Mail not responding, just hanging

Mail has been working fine since I started using my iMac, but today when I opened the App it has just hung, displaying the colour beachball and will not respond to anything. I have used 'Force Quit' to close Mail and repaired permissions with Disk Utility, but still Mail isn't responding.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Andrew
you might try a search of Mail discussions for Mail+Hanging - there have been many threads on the subject, most with great advice.
Here's One
Sometimes, hanging can be due to Mail attempting to download a large message on start-up. If you have web -access to your email (many isp's allow this), you can look at the list of messages via safari & see if that applies to you.

TS3276 mail not responding

inbox not responding to clicks.jumps from one message to another.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
