Problem when opening "Mail"

Dear members of the Apple Community,
After transferring my files and my profile on my new Macbook pro, I keep encountering a problem when opening "Mail". Each time I try, the app asks me to choose a mail account to add, but I already added the ones I normally use. I can either create/add this new account or click the "cancel" button. I cannot use the program (the main functions are not available). But if I try to add a new account, Mail does not upload the new messages for my existing accounts and if I click "cancel", the application simply close itself. What could I do?
Thanks a lot to your help.

It might be worth running Disk Utilities and then Repair Disk Permissions to see if that resolves the problem.

lost bottom banner when open "mail" cannot delete e-mails?

Close the mail app. Then double tap on the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar. Swipe upwards on the mail app. Reset the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Once the phone reboots, try opening mail and see if this returns.

Strange problem when opening word doc situated in WLS virtual dir

Hi all,
we have a strange problem when opening word doc
situated in C:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\webutil
we put some word docs there and tried to open from forms using for example web.show_document('http://wp0606:9001/forms/webutil/mug00103.doc', '_blank');
no problem using FF, however in IE8 the word doc is shown in its binary format, this also happens when we try to open the doc in IE8
however when we google and search for instance for a test.doc and then click on this url a file save dialog is shown
that's why we believe that this might be due to a configuration issue of WLS
any help would be greatly appreciated

I think you have 2 ways to go here. Figure out what html is from wherever weblogic gets it, meaning you have to delve into the docs, snoop
around in directories and find what it must be sending (This is going to be unavoidable if you are going to change what weblogic is doing.
Sooner or later you have to try to figure out where it gets this stuff from)
or
you can experimentally snoop on your url with a tool like wget or curl. These are fundamental web tools.
The latter is always a useful thing to be able to do. (you need to formulate a query to get the content-type).
Whoever managed to get weblogic to serve any files in the first place probably can figure this out.

WiFi signals get stronger the closer the machine is to the router and the less interference/blocking of the signal like via walls with metal in them or of thick concrete.
Since the signal emanates outwards in a sphere, your supposed to place the wireless router in a central location in the building so it covers all areas.
The power of the router also has a affect, if your router is old or something not that powerful like a Airport Express, it doesn't have the ability to filter out other signals or enough punch to get through walls etc. or cover a large area as effectively.
If you buy/have a powerful router of newer make and have issues where there is metal in the walls or thick concrete, then you can buy something like OpenMesh and by using Ethernet cables from the back of the router, extend the WiFi signal into other rooms and areas past the blockage.

Default view when opening Mail

Hi there,
Is there a way to choose the default view when opening Mail? I would like it to show the inbox of 1 of my accounts, rather than the last read mail. Or the list of mailboxes if poss.
Thanks!!

Mail crashes when opening mail with attachments (10.5.6 problem?)

Hello, and thanks in advance.
My Mail program is crashing when opening email that is "larger" in size or has attachments embedded in the messages. I think this problem began only after I installed the 10.5.6 update. I don't have any third party plug ins, and I ran Mail Update 10.5.6 without improvement.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?
Thank you!

It might be worth running Disk Utilities and then Repair Disk Permissions to see if that resolves the problem.

Problem with opening mail after nstalling OS 10.6.6

On the application directory I only see "mail.app (original)". Clicking here will give the same error message. On spotlight I don't see any other mail.app. Thanks
This is the error message I get
Hi, anybody can help??
Problem started immediately after upgrading to 10.6.6
Tried to open mail with different user but problem persist.
Going into the application folder and opening mail from there did not help.
I get this message when trying to open mail.
You can’t use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X
You tried to open Mail version 4.3 (1081/1082) in:
/Applications/Mail (original).app
It can’t be used on this version of Mac OS X. Try opening the version of Mail located in the Applications folder on your computer. For more information, click the Help button.
Thanks

For some reason I can't change names on the application folder.
Hmm, you're right... wonder when that changed. It's probably a good idea to prevent you from renaming apps, except that your Mail app has the wrong name.
Try this... open the Terminal (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder) and paste in the following command:
sudo mv /Applications/"Mail (original).app" /Applications/Mail.app
Then press return. You will be prompted for your password, and when you type it nothing will show up. Press return again after typing it.
If that doesn't work, you can use [Pacifist|http://www.charlessoft.com> to reinstall the original Mail application from your Mac OS X install disk.
Either way, after getting some version of Mail with a correct name installed, run the combo updater again to bring that copy of Mail up to the current version.

Verify Certificate when opening Mail

Hi,
I hope someone can help. Every time I open up Mail,on my iMac, I get a "Verify Certificate" dialogue box. With the following message;
"Mail can't verify the identity of mail.me.com.
The certificate for this server is invalid.You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be"mail.me.com" which could put your confidential information at risk. Do you want to connect to the server anyway?
I click connect and the mail works fine. However, the message reappears every time on opening mail.
I have tried the following,
1. I have opened the certificate and clicked on the "Always trust "mail.me.com" when connecting to "mail.me.com"" but this will be not ticked the next time I open Mail.
2. I have deleted then reopened the account.
3. I have deleted the ByHost file in User/library/preferences.
4. I have used the Keychain access and selected always trust for the certificate. It will not stay selected.
Is there any way I can get rid of this message. It does not occur when opening the account from my MBP.
Thanks

Greetings,
If you have the same account(s) setup on your Macbook Pro and it works fine there, I'd say your Mail preferences file is corrupt. So, if you make a copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file on your Macbook Pro and move it to Home/Library/Preferences on the problem Mac (which will overwrite the current file), then restart Mail, it should work fine again.

Unsent Messages Flood Screen When Opening Mail

I've been using Entourage for mail with Bellsouth, but I frequenly have a problem with several hundred messages that I've already read downloading again. So...I'm thinking of switchin to Mail. But when I open Mail to give it a test the screen floods with hundreds of unsent messages.The only way to delete one is to say I want to edit the message. Only then does the red delete button activate and when I click on that I get a message asking if I want to save it or delete it. Is there any easier way to delete all of these unsent messages or stop them from popping up?

Look into the mail accounts and delete their profiles. You should not lose any data you entered into contacts or calendar. After you delete them re-enter the profiles again. Hopefully it should resume working again.

Mac HD says 2.49.72GB and 151.88 used??
That's impossible. I think you mean to say that your HD capacity is 249.72 GB, and you've used 151.88 GB. You do have enough free space, so that means something else is going on to cause this problem.
Aside from setting up the Gmail account(s), did you install or update anything just prior to this problem starting? If so, what were those items?
I didn't mention any extension, so I'm assuming you're referring to seventy one's mention of TM (Time Machine). That is a built-in backup method that you can choose to take advantage of, but I would not do it, since it's not all it's cracked up to be. What you need is to setup and maintain every day a bootable backup of your entire hard drive. You can do that with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. You don't need an Airport device for these, nor Time Machine; in fact, I would shy away from using wireless for such things, as it's often more of a problem than a benefit.
Also, there may be problems with your hard drive, so I would boot your Mac from the install disc, choose your language, then wait about 15 seconds for the menu bar at the top to appear and choose Utilities->Disk Utility and Repair Disk. If it comes back with any errors that can't be fixed, post them in your reply. But if not, then run Repair Permissions, and all you need to concern yourself with is the message at the end that 'Permission repair completed'; ignore anything else as long as you see that message.
Then reboot your system and restart Mail and setup your account(s) again (assuming it's not there because you deleted the IMAP mail folder and the Envelope Index file. In the future, don't throw things away unless you know the consequences of doing so; you'll end up being unfortunately surprised when you lose critical information.

When opening Mail, sending mail won't stop searching?

When I open mail App. On my MBP, running Lion mail loads all my accounts fine, but sending mail doesn't stop searching for sbcglobal.net account. Therefor can't send any mail from any accounts.

Maintenance you do before you need it! I do it at least once a month, sometimes more often. The free application Onyx is a great application for this.
It could also be that you don't have enough working RAM. Pages can have problem with memory use when the documents are large in Mb.

I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

Strange problem when opening new message.

I have a rather annoying problem when I open a newly received SMS from a particular contact (lets call him Bill).
When I open the new message from Bill, either by swiping to unlock or touching a banner message at the top of the screen. Instead to being shown the message itself, I will automatically be taken to the 'start new message' screen with none of our message history (i.e. as if I am starting to type an entirely new message to Bill)
I can then cancel this and return to myself and Bill's normal message stream.
Any ideas how to get around this annoyance? Thank you.
