New to Mac....Help. Mail app on ~Dock does not open

I have had my mac for over a year and mail has been
great. I have a mac desktop g5. Clicking mail on the
dock and I can read my messages easily.
Now i have to go to .mac to get my mail. Its all a
blank screen and these rainbow wheel is driving me
nuts. Please help ....anyone? I have tried synching
but it doesnt help at all. Am I doomed.
I assume you created a .mac account in Mail. You might want to try deleting the account and recreating it. Assuming you Internet connection is good, it sounds like Mail doesn't understand where to get mail.

Hello mike:
Try this:
Drag the system preference icon off the dock. Then drag the system preferences icon from your application folder to the dock.
If this does not help, drag a preference file (com.apple.systempreferences.plist) to the trash and restart.

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

When I create a new mailbox in mail.app, the mailbox does not appear in the list of mailboxes

I am trying to create a new mailbox in mail.app, but it never appears in the list of mailboxes. This USED TO WORK.

Without seeing anything of what you did there is not much to go on except to say that when you create a classic tween you use a library-based object and it has to exist at both ends of the tween. When motion guides come into play you usually have to fiddle around when making the link between the object and the motion guide to get the object to lock to it.

Mail.app 4.1 does not work with 10.6.1 after restore from time machine

After I restored my complete system from time machine backup using the original snow leopard install disc. My Mail.app won't start up anymore. It shows me the message:
"You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X"
"You have Mail version 4.1 (1076/1075.2). It can't be used Mac OS X Version 10.6.1 (Build 10B504). For more information, click the Help button"
I don't understand the error message as mail 4.1 was installed as part of Mac OS X 10.6.1?
Detailed event log:
2009-11-03 06:00 AM: Backup succeeded successfully via time machine on my time capsule
2009-11-03 11:00 AM: Original laptop was broken. (Screen didn't work anymore)
2009-11-03 03:00 PM: Got a temporary new Macbook Pro from my System Administrator.
2009-11-03 09:00 PM: Successfully restored complete system on new temporary macbook using time machine with data of my time capsule. Everything looked the same (login image, installed applications, etc...). But when I tried to start Mail.app it gave me the above message.
Can someone help me with this???
Kind Regards,
Niels

I've seen two possible solutions to this:
1. Easier, but less likely to work - try to start mail from the Finder, rather than the Dock. If it works, replace the Dock Mail with the Finder one.
2. More probably the solution: download and reinstall the 10.6.1 combo update. I know you shouldn't need to after a TM restore but ...

Mail.app and IMAP does not change message in server

Hello all...
I'm having a strange problem with Mail.app.. I have a IMAP server that uses pine-imapd. I can login and read messages, but anything I do with the messages to not change the message status on the server... If I read a new message, it remains NEW on server, if I delete, it DO NOT delete form server, and so on.. There are cases that I keep receiving the same message over and over again, but actually there's only one message on the server... I used to use Linux with Evolution and everything works just fine, but with Mail.app on Leopard, I have this issue.. Anyone experienced the same thing and have solved it?
THanks

Hello Neithan.
Assuming Preferences > Mailbox Behaviors > Move deleted messages to the Trash is ON, does having Store deleted messages on the server ON or OFF make a difference?
Does the problem persist if you take the account offline, then back online (e.g. by means of Mailbox > Go Offline/Online)?
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting that information easier, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

My mail app is frozen does not respoind to touch screen

suddenly my Mail App is frozen. It does not respond to the touch screen at all.

Try restarting the device and see if that works. If you find that there was no help from that use these steps (located in Apple article HT5137):
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the red - icon to close it.
Double-click the Home button and try opening the app aga

Mail.app: 'Remove Address' does NOT Remove Address

Hello,
I am using OS X (10.9.5) running Mail.app (7.3 (1878.6)).
When I reply-all to an email with multiple recipients in the CC line, if I right-click and 'Remove Address', it removes the address from the CC: line, and appears that the message will not go to this recipient.
When I check my 'Sent' folder for this outbound message, I can see that all recipients that I removed by right-click > 'Remove Address' actually received the message that was not addressed to them.
I can readily duplicate this failure with test email addresses.
This is a critical defect. Mail should not be delivered to unexpected recipients. Mail should SPECIFICALLY not be delivered to recipients that have been explicitly removed from any of the address fields. If the Remove Address feature does not work, perhaps remove it from the right-click options.
Please fix this.
I am aware of a workaround to use the 'Delete' key to remove addresses. I will use that in the future.
This violates the principle of least surprise in one of the worst possible ways.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Hi wayner,
Thank you for your question:
In the Firefox > Options menu under Applications, search for "mailto". From there select the action drop down and select the action.
If you click on the details of the action it should have https://compose.mail.yahoo.com/?To=%s
This macro should take you to a compose mail if you are logged in.

New "Targets and Devices..." dialog does not open in Project window

Hi I am trying to add an FPGA device in my project, however when I right click on Project, and go to New -> Targets and Devices...It appears as though it is busy (the mouse icon becomes the hourglass) and after while it just goes back to normal and nothing seems to happen. I have an FPGA device installed which is the RIO card PXI-7831R, and the devices seems to be working fine. When opening a project that already contains it as a device, it is displayed fine. Its just the dialog to add new devices and targets does not appear. I have tried Repairing NI Labview 8.0 and NI Labview FPGA Module, but the problem still exists. I would appreciate if anyone has any idea as to why this is happening and how to resolve it. Thanks!

Hi Kewsvnet
So you have tried the device on another machine and it works fine, is it only on a specific machine that this issue is occuring on? I think I misunderstood the issue yesterday, am I right in understanding that when you click on 'New Devices and Targets' absoloutely nothing happens apart from the 'hour-glass' appearing for a while? If this is the case it maybe the case that LabVIEW may have become corrupted in some manner. Repairing it will not solve an issue like this. What you should try is to force LabVIEW to create a new .ini file, which holds all the configuration settings. To do this you need to rename the .ini file so that when LabVIEW starts it will detect no .ini file an create a new one.
The .ini file can be located via C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\ LabVIEW Configuration Settings (it is a file size in the range of 2Kb - 10Kb)
You need to rename this file 'LabVIEW Backup', then attempt to restart LabVIEW and a new project and try to add a target.
Let me know how you get on
