Sometimes when try to attach, mail freezes

At least once a day now, when I am composing a reply and try to attach a document, it will freeze up mail.app (spinning wheel). At this point, if I try to force quit, it will not quit mail fully, and I am left having to restart the computer. This just began a week or two ago. Once I restart I can attach again, at least for a while, then it will happen again. I tried searching for this issue but could not find it. I do have growl installed, but it has been installed for quite a while without these problems. It is an exchange account I am using when this happens.
Thanks.

I believe that this is the most recent one for this incident this morning.

when try to get mail it says "canot get mail, the connection to ther server failed", how do I fix this issue?

Check your username, password and account settings for that email account.
If they all look right, then try deleting the account, and re-adding it.

Sometimes when sending a mail it will go more often it won't go, it doesn't seem to be relevant to my geographic position and the message" a copy has been placed in your Outbox. The sender address" my email blah blah" was rejected by the server" . Any ideas?

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Certificate error when try to send mail

Masters,
First of all sorry for my poor english. Im not IT specialist, so please ...
I need help to fix my problem. I know there are many post with this but i can't figure out.
We had a working enviroment with no certificate issue.
I tried to set the Outlook Anywhere, and so i messed up something. Now if user open outlook and send / or reply a mail got a certificate error message. I don't care Outlook Anyhere anymore but i need to fix my issue...
I have not enough reputation point, so i can't attach image. I used Snag to attach picture.
Certification error message:
This is how exchange certs looks like:
The problem is occure when start outlook and start or reply a mail. Certfication error pop-up, and inside the message windows on the Certification Chain tab i see: "mydomain".local
When i try to configure outlook anywhere i create and enable new certificate. I think when i did this i have to allow owerrite some service... I deleted that certification already.
If i install the cert to root CA, then works ok. But i don't want to install it all our server, because its workd earlier. How can i fix this?
Thank you

Hello,
First of all thank you for helpin' me.
I do not want to use outlook anywhere anymore, but now i know need 3rd certf for work...
Only i want to get back everything.
I know if i install to root CA than pop up disappear (i test this one of our server) but because earlier we have no installed this cert...so i don't understand what should i did...
1. i installed a new self-sign certificate and associate service SMTP for it.
2. after all test failed i decided to delete this cert...
3. now outlook get pop up with certificated issued by: ourcompany.local
- i did not seen any certificate in the certificate store with this name...
Now i test it again and the no pop up in outlook?! What happend? I check and the mentioned certificate not in the store?!
If i delete a certificate and assign service to another one, how many time need to affect this to the enviroment?
Thank you

Mac Mail Freezes when attaching files

Ever since my upgrade to snow leopard, my mac mail does 2 things. 1, it keeps asking for my name and password, and I have already cleared out my keychain, re input all my information, and it keeps doing that. does it about once a day.
but my more detrimental problem is that my mail will freeze the entire freaking system if I try to attach a file! Used to, I didn't have this issue, and it's only doing it on my imac. I have snow leopard on my macbook and it works just fine when I attach a file. On top of that, it's doing it when I attach a mp3.
I am not sure what to try here. But it doesn't just freeze up mail, but the entire mac. I mean, I can't even do a Command Option Esc to close mail, because it locks up the entire freaking system. I don't know what to try here.

I would start by setting up another user account, set up mail.app with your info on that account and see what happens there. If everything works fine there, I would (in the normal account) export all messages etc in mail.app (and make sure you have backup), delete (or rather rename) all mail prefs etc and set the mail.app up again and then (when everything hopefully works) import all old messages.
Btw, I assume that you have repaired permissions on the disk and that "cleared out the keychain" also included doing a first aid repair for the keychain.

Mail freezes when attach using icon and dialog box, but OK with drag attach

Everthing else on my mail is working fine, but when I try to use the "Attach" icon on a new or reply message, the finder dialog box comes up, and then mail freezes with the spinning ball. Alternatively, if I drag and drop a file to the new mail window, it works fine. Also, if I right click (CTRL-click) on a file, and select "Open With -> Mail" That also works fine.
My suspicion of the problem is that the attach file dialog box keeps defaulting to open files in a folder that was in a link that's no longer available (deleted link), and it freezes things up. Because it always opens up to the same folder, and that's where it freezes, without showing any files in that folder.
Thank you for your help!

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same). Uncheck (disable) the rest. Parallels in particular, if you have that installed, is known to cause this problem in Mail.

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!

TS3276 When I try to attach a pdf file to an e-mail the pdf is opened in the e-mail, replacing the text. How do I attach it as a file?

When I try to attach a pdf file to an e-mail it opens and is pasted into the e-mail. How do I attach it as a file?

It is an attachment, it is the way Apple Mail program displays it. When you add the attachment by either using the attach clip or drag and drop, have your cursor were you want the file to be, i.e. under text you have already written.
You can test for yourself that they are still attachments, log into the web account of your email if it as one and send an email to yourself from Apple mail with an attachment and on the web account it will show as an attachment.

Mail in Maverick crashes when I try to attach a file.

Each time I try to attach a file to an email in Maverick Mail crashes...I have fixed permissions and all the other recommended steps...nothing works???

Actually, even dragging the file into the mail window causes a crash.
Worst part -- it feels like the offending file type is always QuickTime, which is Apple.
Add this broken piece of Mail.app to the much-publicized GMail screwup; and you just have to wonder why Apple was tinkering so much with Mail to begin with? It shouldn't have needed THAT much adjusting for Mavericks compatibility, should it?
Anyway, I've downloaded Airmail, per suggestions on another thread, and that's worked so far.
I'm hoping to stick with Mail, if Apple can fix the problems (I was burned once already when Sparrow was abandoned). But if they force me to migrate elsewhere, I will...
C'mon, Apple! We WANT you to be good!!

TS2621 When I try to access my mail I just get frozen blank screen. Also on settings the screen freezes when I press the mail calendar icon.

I cannot access my mail. When I try I just get a blank divided screen which is frozen. Also in settings when I press the mail calendar icon nothing happens except the settings screen freezes. Not very computer literate.

Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two; tap the minus sign to close app.
If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Mac Mail Freezes When I try to Delete Trash

Mac Mail Freezes when I try to delete trash. Spinning wheel of death goes for 10 - 15 minutes and freezes the entire computer. Please Help!

BDAqua -& Thoma_r - I did a safe boot, did repair permissions. 2 of the "Permission Differs" messages:
Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .
Permissions differ on "Library/Application Support/ProApps/Internal Plug-Ins/BrowserKit/iLife.bkplugin/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrwxr-xr-x . and around 30 more... Nothing about MacMail that I could tell.
There are 8 messages:
Group differs on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/CodeResources", should be 80, group is 0.
Went into Console and was very confused as the dates start 2000 and ends at 2010 and nothing I could decipher as MacMail.
Is this MacMail?

HT5648 When I try to attach a PDF or jpeg to an e-mail I get a blocked plug-in message?? Not sure how to fix

When I try and attach a PDF to an e-mail on my iMac I get a "blocked plug-in message? Same for a jpeg? Not sure what to do...help.

Click here and install the software.

When I try to attach a pdf to Mail, I get "Blocked plug-in"

Downloading pdfs on Safari has changed. Now I have to select an icon at the bottom of the page. After downloading, I get a pdf icon that is no longer the red one. It looks like a document. Don't know whether this is part of the problem because I didn't have that issue previously.
Anyhow, when I try to attach a downloaded pdf to a Mac Mail email I'm trying to send, all I get is "Blocked plug-in."
Adobe is version 11.0.07 and Flash (if that is pertinent) is Plug-in version 13.0.0.214 and everything is updated. I am running Mavericks 10.9.3.
What is the problem and how do I fix it?
Thanks from Sheryl

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. What is the Modified date?
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

After installing Mavericks my email isn't allowing me to draft a new message. I can see my messages, but cannot create a new message or reply to any messages. When I try nothing happens, then Mail freezes all together.

I can see my messages, but cannot create a new message or reply to any messages.
When I try nothing happens, then Mail freezes all together and usually crashes.
I was able to get into my Mail settings and everything looks ok as far as I can tell.
Has anyone else seen this? My software is completely up to date now (unfortunately).
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
