The links in my email won't open

For some reason the links in emails won't open up.  When I click on a link in an email it just says Error: no associated application could be found.

  • Why are web addresses posting in mostly gray?  lots of links provided in emails won't open.  I'm using Firefox 11.0 on a brand new i-Mac.  Surely there's a setting I'm getting wrong.  Thanks.

    Same as in title.

    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.

    Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
    First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
    Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!
    :o)

  • The message cannot be seen on incoming emails.  I can only view the message if I click on reply.  Also any links attached to email will not open.  I have tried everything to solve the problem but not able to.

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • MAIL - certain emails won't open, 10.6.4

    Using Macbook, some emails won't open in mail (on 10.6.4). i can open several emails from the same person but particular ones won't open.
    it's happened several times in the last week. to clarify, it's not the PROGRAM mail that won't open...it's just certain messages. if i move it from the "inbox" to another mailbox (not named inbox) , i can open it in a different mailbox. then if i move it back to the "inbox," it will open. Advice? Would love a true fix.
    thanks.

    I'm having a somewhat similar problem, and it's the second or third time it's happened. All of a sudden, I can't open emails in the Inbox or Sent folders prior to today's date. If I click on one I get an empty viewing screen, even though the message appears in the list. The last couple of time this happened I just went into Time Machine, did a restore, and then moved the restored messages back into the Inbox. So I haven't lost the messages, it's just annoying to have to keep doing this.
    Any idea what is going on? I'm about ready to start looking at Eudora or Thunderbird.

  • Random emails won't open

    Hi There,
    Having a strange problem - I'm using a single IMAP account in Mac Mail, 10.9.5, and I'm getting a lot of bugs that seem connected.  Two worth noting are:
    - When opening Mail, a few of the newest emails won't open; the preview window stays grey, as does the popup if I double click.  If I forward or reply these messages, they display fine in a new popup window. A restart of mac mail will usually fix this, however, after a few minutes messages will become unaccessible again.
    - Sometimes selecting "Inbox(s)" will result in zero messages being displayed, yet the VIP folder will display all the VIP messages. Again, restart.
    In my attempts to solve this I have:
    - deleted my mail account and set it up fresh, including deleting preference files and old mailboxes.
    - fixed permissions, restarted, etc
    This all started when I did a fresh install on an SSD drive that's my new OS drive.  Can't figure out what's going wrong.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Quit Mail.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder.

  • Certain emails won't open

    icloud email, certain emails won't open.  I get the error message "email has stopped responding."  when I clear this message, i cloud closes, and I need to open it up again.  I can read these messages in Mail2Web.  any help would be appreciated. 

    update:  all the emails that don't open seem to be coming from a listserv I belong to. 

  • Emails won't open - why???

    A few months ago my email account was hacked, spewing spam all over the place.  So I contacted AT+T and a customer service person changed my security settings and reset my configurations.  This caused me to lose everything that had been on the face of my Inbox, which I use as a to-do list.  So I called AT+T again, and they said the first service person should not have changed the configurations.  Well, great.  After eight hours with India I was still left without the mail that had been on the face of my Inbox.  And ever since then:
    ---when I delete emails, they come back from the dead!  No kidding, they mysteriously reappear in my Inbox and I have to delete them again.
    ---my MacBook overheats off and on, fan comes on.  I have to shut the whole system down, it's broiling.
    Concerned about the overheating, I checked on my Activity Moniter but didn't see anything suspicious.  Nevertheless, a google search encouraged me to download Little Snitch, to keep an eye on activities.  But ever since then:
    ---most new emails won't open.  They sit totally blank and empty, with the little grey spinning wheel going round.  Eventually some open.  But I have to wait and wait and wait and wait. 
    So I got rid of Little Snitch.  But I still have the same problems as above.
    Thank you for any help!

    Change your password if you haven't already. Is is At&t email, At&t through yahoo?
    You keep saying inbox and email, but not indicating if it is through macs email application or through a webmail that you access via a browser.
    Have you scanned the computer yet using an antivirus? In some rare cases it may need a reformat, but you should start with the password change and the scanning.
