If that is correct, try updating your system software. Click your Apple menu > Software Update.
And try "force quitting" using Activity Monitor (located in HD > Applications > Utilities) instead of Command + Option + E or force quit from the Apple menu.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and note need about five minutes to start.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and Note need about five minutes to start.
After starting, Mail answers are very very slow. The same for Note. Instead of, sending mails is only a bit slower than before upgrading.
In Safari, I choose Goggle as starting page in Preferences, but at every restart misses that starting page and the search strip says "Seek Google or instert an address".

Well, I found the solution here in another thread.
i just want to mention that the samw thing was happening also for the notes and the reminders apps!! (they quit unexpectedly!!).
So I found the solution here.
Thank you graphicsluc!!!

Can I downgrade mail from Lion Mail(v.5) to Snow Leopard Mail(v.4)?

I just bought a new MacBook (13.3" running Lion OS 10.7.1). I -really- don't like the new format of mail and have problems with searching and other organization methods I worked out. I would like to downgrade from Lion Mail (v.5) to Snow Leopard Mail (v.4). I understand that some people have downgraded the whole operating system and saw those instructions in the discussion forums, but I would like to -only- downgrade mail. Any ideas?
Also, any recommendations on reducing my load times and delays in mail? I have over 100,000 emails over the past 4 years that are bogging down the system. I have tried archiving some older messages, but the system freezes and then downloads all the attachments from my oldest messages, filling up the entire hard disk. Thanks in advance!

There is a long thread about this -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/15733107#15733107 -- and the bottom line is that it is possible to install and run SL on a 2011 mini (with some rather wonky hacking...) BUT it doesn't work very well. Performance benchmarks of the same machine in SL and Lion show the SL as definitely slower.
Plus people are having problems with certain features on the machine not working.
I think that your performance issues sound like something else is wrong... The 2GB is a definite problem -- do you know that you can buy 8GB for the machine for $60, and getting it installed is a snap? But the first thing that I would do is to install applejack and boot into single-user mode and run disk repair (aka fsck.) Another question -- if you look on your console, do you see a voracious cpu-eating process called mds? It's the indexer for Spotlight, and there is nothing to be done about it than to just wait it out, and your machine will work much better when it is done. And Spotlight is not just a SL problem -- if you install SL it's going to want to index your disk, too...

How do i save documents from e-mail to the I-Pad?

I have a new I-Pad Air and am trying to move some files from my Windows laptop to the I-Pad. what is the best way to do this?

The simplest way is to e mail the documents to your self. On the pad, open the e mail, then the attached document in an app on the pad. The document will then be saved and associated with that app.
You can also use a cloud, like drop box.
The key to avoiding frustration for new users - do not expect to see a file management scheme like windows. It simply does not exist. Docs are stored in associated with the app that opens them.

Lion Mail selects the wrong entry after delete?

Does anyone else thing Mail selects the wrong entry after delete? Say your scanning through your mail from latest to oldest, something most people seem to do. You click on an entry, read the mail and then press delete to move it to trash. Mail picks the next newest entry instead of the one right after the one you deleted. But you've probably already looked at that one and want to look at the next older item. So I have to select, delete, click the down arrow, delete, etc. in order to quickly go through mail, deleting the ones I don't need, and leaving others I want to go back too.
Seems like there should be an option to set what the next entry is after delete.

Can I recover E-mails from Apple Mail when the E-mail account is closed

My company E-mail account was closed today and I had anticipated the messages would be stored by Apple mail for offline viewing. It was an IMAP account with the preferences set to so that the mail was never deleted and all messages were to be kept.
However, all the mail has disappeared with no action from me. Is there anything I can do to recover this information?
I did not "back up" these messages as I thought they would be left in the mail program for viewing and that I could later archive them.
Thanks in advance

No idea what happened, then. I suppose it's possible that they deleted all your messages before removing the account, and that Mail synced the change before getting cut off. Why they would do that, since just removing the account would also delete all the messages, without the need for an extra step, I don't know. Perhaps they wanted to try to ensure that you didn't have copies of those messages for some reason?
In any case, if you have a recent backup, you ought to be able to restore those messages to a local mailbox. If you use Time Machine, you can choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu while in Mail, and it'll allow you to navigate through all the stored backups of your messages and restore them.

Recently installed parallels on my iMac and created email account in outlook express where all my emails now are but have gone from my mail on the mac

I have recently installed parallels on my Macbook and created my existing email account within outlook express which has all emails but by doing this it has removed all emails from Mail on the Macbook. I don't won't to delete from outlook then find I have lost them forever. I'm just trying to find out how I can get them back to their original place in Mail.
Any help would be great.

Hello,
If has more than one account, the Inbox icon, for example, should have a black triangle if the accounts have been correctly added via the assistant. If that triangle is pointing sideways, then he clicks on it, it should turn downward, and reveal the Inbox for each account. If he does not have but the one account, then the Inbox should be that of the AOL account. Same with Sent Drafts, etc.
If the triangle beside Inbox reveals other folders such as Sent Items, click to open that, and then click Mailbox in the menubar, place cursor on Use this Mailbox for and choose Sent.
AOL is IMAP access, so can be tricky. The folders under AOL lower in the Sidebar are for other archiving. AOL only allows messages to stay in the Inbox and Sent folder for 27 days, and then you must Move the messages to the Saved folder to keep longer on the server. Of course, various On My Mac mailboxes can be created to save messages, and those will be on the hard drive of his Mac.
In Mail 2.x and OS 10.4.10 there is no longer a separator for On My Mac in the Sidebar, but is with 10.3.x and Mail 1.3.x
This may or may not be such a good idea to have switched him without being in front of his computer to provide some instruction

Trouble Sending & Receiving Mail Through Exchange Account from Lion Mail

Mid-2011 MacBook Air, 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5, OS X 10.7.2.
I'm having trouble sending and recieving mail through my Exchange Server Mail account under Lion 10.7.2 on my MacBook Air. The MBA is new with a factory install of Lion. On my MBP the server settings were as follows:
Internal & External Server: red001.mail.microsoftonline.com
When I allow Mail to configure the server settings based on my company eMail ID & Password it sets it up as follows:
Internal Server: 10.32.16.62
External Server: autodiscover-red001.mail.microsoftonline.com
Part of the time this seems to work ok but frequently Mail cannot seem to connect to the Exchange Server to send/recieve. The internet connection is fine and I can send/recieve from my iCloud mail account with no problems.
I recently "upgraded" from mobileMe to iCloud, I do not seem to have any of these issues on my iPad2 or iPhone4, both of which are running iOS5.
Anyone have any ideas?

This started happening with me a week ago. Don't know if it's connected to the latest update or not. I'm running 10.6.7. I can get Exchange mail (sometimes) on my iPhone 3GS, but it's stopped on my MBP and iPad2. Neither can I log onto the company's web mail site from home ("can't reach server" error message). Weird and very frustrating. IT guy at work says there is nothing wrong at his end.

Cannot send message (from mac mail) using the server iCloud

My Mac Mail send stopped working during a large number of mail sends yesterday.Could that be an issue? If so, what to do?
Message further reads - The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.mail.me.com.
I deleted the account and set it up again, but still can't get the mail out. Same messages
If I go on to iCloud, mail send is working fine.
Can anyone see anything wrong or suggest what to do?
I've deleted the user name below for the screenshot.
Thanks in anticipation.

There is no user name entered in your SMTP (advanced) preferences.

Why didn't my Mailboxes from Lion import to ML Mail?

I have downloaded and installed Mountain Lion, and my Mailboxes from Lion "Mail" did not import to ML Mail. I tried running Migration Assistant to transfer my Mailboxes from my backup clone of Lion and that did not do it either. Any of

There's no Mountain Lion wallpaper in the library. You can pick something of your choice in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop tab.

TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

hi guys,
I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

Re: How to Import mailbox from Outlook 2011 into Mac Mail Lion

Apple Mail stops downloading emails at a certain point

Hello,
I have just recently started to use Apple Mail (3.6) and set up two accounts: one POP for hotmail and one IMAP for gmail. While sending mails works fine with both accounts, the hotmail one stops downloading mails from the server at a certain point.
From the approximately 15000 mails on the server, Mail downloads about 3000 (the oldest ones, which I neither need nor want on my computer anyway) and then stops. When I click on receive new mails, it will show the connecting sign as usual. The bar on the left, which indicates how many e-mails remain on the server and how many are currently being downloaded, pops up for a second, telling me that all remaining 12000 e-mails have been downloaded in the same time span - which obviously didn't happen.
I have already tried deleting downloaded mails from my computer, thinking that there might be a limit to the number of mails saved on the desktop. Also I deleted the whole account and set it up again, but the same thing happened at exactly the same point, respectively the same email downloaded. What to do?
Thanks to everyone who can help me out with this!

Yes, these were the e-mails that showed up in the inbox, i.e. they were the chunk of mails that I could download before Apple Mail stopped the downloading at all. I deleted them because I thought it would make space for newer ones to be downloaded.
No, I have not used any other Mail application before. I used to go directly to the hotmail-webpage.
Interestingly, I have deleted the whole account again and set it up anew - which enabled Apple Mail to another round of downloading mails when I did it the last time. This time however, nothing happened: again, the bar on the left appears for a second, telling me that around 12000 mails are on my server and that all have been downloaded in about this second. But they do not show up. It remains a mistery to me, even more so as Mail is obviously able to detect all mails on the server (when I check under Account Information, Emails on Server) but not to download them.

Shutdown from Lion, Mail stop the shutdown.
