Open mail and every email downloads

every time i open mail on my desktop, every email in my entire system pops ups in a window. it just started doing this one day, random.

You need to create a new Account and enter the correct IMAP settings. Note: Apple enters User name in both receiving and sending as the first part of your email. Most accounts actually like you to enter the full email address. Apple also defaults to ports 25. 465, 587. If you know the default port, select custom and enter port. Most accounts require SSL but not all. Verify your IMAP settings with your provider.
You can select to disable the POP account until you are happy with your new IMAP account.
NOTE: when you delete a POP account in Mail it deletes all the messages in the Inbox. You need to move all the messages in the Inbox to a custom folder under "On My Mac" or select to Archive. Under Message in the Menu bar select Archive. Apple creates an Archive folder and moves the messages into this folder. Each account has it's own archive folder.

Every time I open an email in Mircrosoft Outlook, Firefox tries to download files which lead nowhere, and I end up on each and every email having to cancel the attempted firefox dowload

Each and every email I open in Outlook creates a firefox download file which I have to cancel as it leads nowhere as I have tried to follow it and see if it leads anywhere.
I have tried chat and sat on chat for 45 minutes, then get disconnected. Before removing Firefox and going back to Explorer which I hate I wanted to see if this can be solved, only started with 3.6 and I upgraded to 4.0 and problem is still there

I had the same problem. The fix is to go Oulook. Under "View" turn off "People Pane". That's all it takes problem went away.

At least I understand, but the functionality does not match what the manual says. When functionality does not match the manual it is a BUG.
What if I do not want to use IMAP or Exchange? I do not like being forced to use technology I do not trust.
No, it is not a bug. It is working as designed. And there is noting in the manual that staes you can create folders for a POP account.
You do know that any email sent through a POP account stays on the provider's server (often for years) even if you delete it from your inboxes, right? Completely beyond your control. Refusing to use an IMAP service doesn't protect you from anything.

After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours. Help!

I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.

It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.
(I was unable to seach properly before which is why I posted the question - it was a bit of a panic)

How do I ensure mail is sent from the correct email account? I have two set up on my iPad, and it seems to choose which one to use somewhat randomly. This has happened both when using Mail and when emailing form another app.

I have two email accounts set up on my iPad -- one I use & one I monitor for a disabled person. On several occasions, mail I have composed and sent from my email account was sent showing the other account as the sender. This has happened both from within Mail and when emailing from other apps, such as Safari, Photos, etc. Any idea what is going on and how to prevent this from happening?

Are you confirming your POP account is selected as the sending email account before the message is sent?
And regardless if the email is a new email or is replying to or forwarding an email received by the POP account and cofirming the POP acconut is selected as the sending email account, the message is sent by the Gmail account?
All message sent by the POP account are sent by the Gmail account?
If so, delete the Gmail account from your iPad and test if a message sent with your POP account which will be the only email account available with the iPad's Mail app is recieved from your POP account/address.
If not, something else is wrong or on play that has nothing to do with the iPad.

Why I can't change on the settings ,I cloud ,advanced l, mail and then email address there I can't change ? Help please

Why I can't change on the settings ,I cloud ,advanced l, mail and then email address there I can't change ? Help please?

You can't change that address by design, but Apple allows you to create another two addresses and use instead they call those aliases and you can create and use those different for different people with the same account. Instructions here

Having mail 4.5 issues- open mail and get a new features message that says in order to use the new features, I must import existing messages into the new version first in order to use mail 4.5. Just recently put in MAC OSX 10.6.7. Once it imports I am to click done to start using mail, but end up with the rainbow wheel of death and it also says you cannot use mail until the import is finished? Now What?

Is Mail still "spinning"? If it's been doing that for a while, I'd kill it, using either Activity Monitor or the OS X application picker. Then relaunch Mail and see what happens.
Two "by the ways":
1) Your system details mention an PPC iMac. Since a non-Intel Mac can't run OS X 10.6, you seem to have another Mac. You might want to consider updating your system details.
2) You seem to have been misled by the poor labeling of the message composition fields on this forum into trying to enter your entire post into the "subject" field. In the future, just enter a summary of your post there and the main text into the field below it.

Disable your antivirus and firewall, and try again.

Did you ask your email provider if those emails are REALLY deleted or they still see them on their server?

Opened Mail and all mailboxes and emails are gone

Today i've opened Mail to check for new emails and it started as recently installed. No emails, no mailboxes, nothing.
How can i recover my emails back?
Thanks

Go to Mail>Preference>Accounts. Delete the account and re-enter them. Doesn't seem that Mail will actually delete your e-mails, it might be that its just not showing them. Also go to your e-mail website and see if your e-mails are there.
