Re-installing Mail in OSX

I have a MacBook running OSX 5.8. I deleted the Mail application, because idiot.
I want to reinstall it BUT the Install disk has OSX Version 5.5, so when I try and install from here it won't as there is a more recent version of OSX on teh computer. I don't want to go backwards to 10.5, I want to keep 10.5.8 and just add Mail.
How do I do that then?

Hello,
Get Pacifist...

then extract/install what you need from your Install Disc.
Then you'll need to use Software update to get a later version of Mail, or use Pacifist on the...
1058 Combo Update, 10.5.8...

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

TS3276 Does anyone know the YAHOO authentication method and port? I recently installed the new OSX 10.8.2 software and my mac mail wont work.

Does anyone know the YAHOO authentication method and port? I recently installed the new OSX 10.8.2 software and my mac mail wont work.

Hello,
I have no idea what you're talking about, however my Mail stopped working when I
had to add a new e-mail address for my Hotmail account.
My new Hotmail address works, and seems to get e-mail from the old e-mail address,
which from I've read behaves as a "default" address for the old address.
Apple Mail is linked to my Hotmail account of the old e-mail address.
I no longer know my old password.
Apple Mail will not accept my new password for ny new Hotmail account.
Can someone help me solve this problem WITOUT COMPLICATED SOLUTION!
As I said I have no idea what a port, or SSL or authentication is!
If you do answer,please answer in vert simple steps that are easy to follow, and donlt make matters worse.
Thanks,
SB

Re-installed Mail still crashes on launch

I am have re-installed Mail from my Leopard disk onto an Intel iMac of Tiger vintage. Having acquired an iPhone I want to switch from Entourage to Mail to sync effectively. I created mboxes and transferred all my unarchived mail from Entourage. Mail locked up on emails with attachments and I was unable to do anything even after re-starting. I have therefore binned Mail in frustration and re-installed but this is 3.0 from 10.5.0. I still have all my email folders [attachments and all] and accounts but Mail still crashes on launch. How do I resolve this, please? Any ideas? Also, how do I update Mail 3.0 to 10.5.7? I have downloaded the 10.5.7 Combo Update but can't see how to update just Mail and not everything else. It seems to be all or nothing. I note other questions refer to the combo Update but not how once you have downloaded. Any advice on this, please?

Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
The Combo can be installed over the existing OSX (here I am assuming you already have 10.5.7 installed) and it will then bring the version of Mail forward to match everything else. If there were any flaws in other parts of the OSX it would fix those, but otherwise would not change anything else.
However, did you ever run Mail while using Tiger on this Mac? If so, it would be best to remove some things, but what will be determined by your answers.

How do I go about saving ALL data on an imac running 10.5.8 and wipe the harddrive and install an new OSX

I have an old imac running OSX 10.5.8 which for various reasons was never updated further
Processor is 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
It has iphoto 08 7.1.5 (378)
I also have a macbook Pro. Running OSX 10.7.5
Processor 2.4 GHz intelCore i5
memory 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
This one runs iphoto 11 v 9.2.3 (629.52)
On Both these Machines I want to save all the files and particularly the photos to an external hard drive. I can do the files etc but having problems with iphoto. I want a complete functional copy of both libraries in iphoto and I want to be able to access it and pick and choose which ones I want to use but not STORE on a new Macbook. I want to access the photos from several machines and just browse through them.
Then .. once I have a proper copy of everything I want to reformat the old imac and install the newest OSX it will run given its Processor etc. any advice on which OSX it can cope with?
Also possibly upgrade the macbook pro , so that they talk to each other properly, will access icloud and will also both be compatible with a new macbook pro running Yosimite...
But I want to be able to pick and choose which files I move to the new macbook. Both photos and general filing.
This may be easy for an expert but I am not an expert, I am reasonably competent.. but definitely not an expert and I don't want to mess up and lose stuff.
can anyone help?

How do I re-install my Mac OSX Server from scratch

Hi,
I have purchased two MacMini Servers with 10.6 OSX Server software pre-installed.
I have changed the organization as our company name changed and run into license issues.
I want to re-install the Mac OSX Server software and start from scratch. How do I go about this. I tried yesterday for many hours to do so and the new installs are still running into duplicate license issues and other issues. What is the best approach to do re-install? I am willing to erase the internal Hard Disk and boot (with an external DVD optical drive) if that is the best way to go. What are the steps?
I have the original CDs or DVDs and have extra, external hard disks to do a Time Machine backup, etc.
Thanks,
Don

If you are looking to do a nuke and pave of the system, and you have an external optical drive, then yes, that is likely the most direct method. Connect the optical drive, insert the installation DVD, and reboot the system targeting the optical disk as the boot volume (you can do this by holding down the C key or the Option key during startup).
Now, if you do not have an optical drive, you can put the installation disk into another Mac running 10.6 and use the Remote Install Mac OS X application in your Utilities folder.
Hope this helps

When I am re-installing the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older Mac I run into the window that says select the disk where you want to install Mac OSX but nothing is there to select

I am trying to re-install the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older I mac with a new hard drive. I run into the "select the disk "where you want to install Mac OSX but there is nothing in the window to select. Any advice?

After you install a new hard drive, you need to boot to another drive to initialize it to MAC OS Extended (journaled) format and create the partition(s) on the drive. You do this using Disk Utility. Otherwise, the mac operating install process doesn't see a formatted disk to install to.

RE-INSTALLING MAIL IN SNOW LEOPARD

I want to re-install MAIL and Address Book in OS X Snow Leopard. I have tried following the instructions on Apple Support (re-start and hold down the Control and R keys) - but nothing happens, my macbook just re-starts as normal. Any advice? I am pretty sure I didn't get an install disc with the macbook as everything came pre-installed, so how can i re-install from over the internet?
The reason I want to re-install MAIL is because the addresses stored in the contacts memory on Mail dont' seem to be updating in sync with the contacts in Address Book. As a result I can't sync my Address Book with Itunes and my Iphone (it keeps syncing with the contacts in Mail, which has older data from the first import of contacts when i first bought the Macbook). I deleted Address Book hoping I could re-install a new version and over-ride the address book stored in Mail, but deleting Address Book did not delete the contact lists linked to the Mail application. Not sure if I am making myself clear. There seem to be two Address Books : one is the application Address Book, and the other is the Mail address book, and they both seem to exist independent of each other.
Any help with either re-installing Mail and Address Book so that I have just one version of my contacts much appreciated.
JM.

Not sure if you realize you need PCIe hardware RAID controller.

Forget TimeMachine for cloning your system, Apple DU Restore or SuperDuper does fine (you can still use T/M if you want).
There is no software way to create RAID5.

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Ideally, you should clone your HD as Bimmer 7 Series explains.
However, if your computer originally shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, a clone is not necessary to merely reinstall OS X. OS X Internet Recovery will create a recovery partition, download the installer package, and install it on a completely empty SSD or HD.
Even if your computer shipped with Snow Leopard, it may be eligible to download a firmware update that creates the same ability: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904

Cannot install Mail application after downgrade Mac OS X 10.9 to 10.7.5.

Dear Mac fans, maybe somebody can help me with expirience or advice how to install Mail application on Mac OS X 10.7.5.
After I made downgrade from Mac OS X 10.9 (Maverick) to 10.7.5. (Lion) Mail application didnt work properly and report some errors.
During installation of Mac OS X 10.7.5 I use Time Machine and all other program and/or data working properly. Only Mail application not!
I find some information that Mail application is part of MAC OS X and tht is neccessary to reinstall whole MAC OS X to get mail application.
Will somebody have procedure or way how to solve this issue?!
Really thanks in advance,
Rusmir

That is correct. You must use OS X Recovery to restore OS X in order to reinstall the Mail app.

First, check to see if your computer can run Mavericks.

How to set up read receipts in mail on OSX Mavericks

How do you set up read receipts in mail on OSX Mavericks? I've looked under settings for the mail app but can't see anything that I can 'turn on' to get an indication when an email has been read. Thanks for any responses in advance.......

Hi, there.
Unfortunately, there's no such feature on Mail. No version of it has ever had.
Besides that, read receipts are not good at all. It is up to the recipient whether or not to send a receipt. So you will never know if the recipient never read the email or just didn't send a receipt.
Yours.
