The Mail application blocks messages

Hello,
The Mail application blocks messages in the Outbox with all accounts (MobileMe, Gmail,...).
In addition, the application closes with CMD + Q or with a mouse click??
When I launch the application, the message window does not open automatically.
Thank you for helping me.

That is correct.
I have this problem with version 10.7.2 Lion
Last week I spoke with technical support from Apple.
We have deleted the MobileMe account then I reinstalled.
There, things are back in order, but here I am again stuck with several emails in the outbox.

  • How can I set up hotmail in the mail application

    Hi
    How can I set the mail application to include hotmail? I've been able to add it, but it doesn't sync read and unread messages. I know iPhones used to have the same problem, but after iOS5, there was an option to include mail from hotmail. Is there an option to include hotmail now in Mail, as I can't find it.
    Also, as I've just switched from Windows to Mac, is there a button on Mac for home and end like Windows has?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately hotmail requires you to pay a fee to have your e-mail go through a mail application, like Apple Mail. Contact their customer service to see about fees, as well as set up process.

  • Can't open the mail application since updating to 10.6.6

    Hi,
    Since I updated to 10.6.6 I can no longer open my mail application. I get a message stating that "You have version 4.3 (1081/1082) of mail. It can not be used with the Mac OS X Version 10.6.6."
    When I was updating my mail was not in the application folder but within a separate folder in the app folder, so it may not have been updated.
    Now my question is how do I solve this, I can't work properly without the mail application!
    Thank you!
    Svanton

    Hi Svanton,
    One suggestion would be to take the Mail App out of the folder you put it in and then download and install the 10 6 6 Combo Update…
    Available Here...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
    I would also recommend doing a Permissions Repair both Before and After running the Update…
    Hope this Helps,
    Cheers

  • How to limit the number of  emails the  mail application downloads.

    I have over 5000 emails in my online account and I do not want mail do download more than 50 of my newest emails to be downloaded into the mail application. Is there a way to limit how many emails the mail application downloads? Thanks.

    This question cannot really be addressed without knowing whether you are using a POP or IMAP account? Since a POP account only downloads new emails from a POP3 server, if using the same computer, then I assume you have an IMAP account? With an IMAP account, where the Inbox actually resides on the server, only the messages you seek to read are downloaded, if in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced you choose an option under "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing" to not keep any copies. Of course all messages remain online on the server.

  • Disabling the Mail Application?

    I'm running 10.6.8 on an original 2006 Macbook Pro.  I've ALWAYS had a problem with my "Mail" application!!!  I NEVER use it!!!  I actually HATE it!!!
    But I LOVE using the "Calendar" application.
    My problem occurs when my turning on my computer and I get a "Calendar Alert".  I guess the Calendar is somehow linked to "Mail" and it tries to launch "Mail" EVERY SINGLE TIME I have a Calendar Alert!!!  It's soooo ANNOYING!!!!
    The ONLY way to get "Mail" NOT to launch is by turning off the "alarms" or "alerts" for every single event in my Calendar.  It's horrible.  For example, I create a new event in my Calendar, save it, then go back into it and turn off the alarms.  After years of experience, this seems like the ONLY way to NOT get "Mail" to launch.
    Therefore, I deleted the "Mail" application!!!  I could've sworn that this solved my problem, in the past.  But I recently wiped/restored my computer, and therefore, had to delete "Mail" all over again.
    NOW, when I turn on my laptop and I have a Calendar alert, "Mail" still tries to launch and a window pops up trying to locate the "Mail" application.  I've attached a screenshot of the window.
    Does anybody have any ideas for me???  Like I said, I've deleted the Mail app before and it seemed to not cause any problems.  But now I'm getting this terrible pop up window.
    And like I also said, if I were to leave the Mail app on my computer, and God forbid, forget to turn off the alarms for a new event (which I like using the alarms sometimes), then the Mail app launches, and usually freezes because I don't have it linked to any of my email accounts!!!
    This is just ALL AROUND TERRIBLE!!!!!!  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!  THANK YOU!!!!!!!  I HOPE THIS MADE SENSE!!!!!!!!!!

    Your problem isn't Mail.app your problem is that you are using a script that expects Mail to be installed.
    What is the script that is so important to the calendar events? If you can find the raw Applescript & edit out the references to Mail this nonsense should stop.
    Are you trying to use the built in 'email alert' type of iCal alarm? I don't think that can ever work if you refuse to use Mail. I think you will need another Applescript to access your email client instead (or use a message alert type).
    If you have a lot of alerts set to use email alerts it will be tough to find them & delete the action, I suppose you can export each calendar & then open the calendar.ICS file in a text editor. That should allow you to find the lines with the 'ACTION:EMAIL' line which need editing for that event.
    I suspect sending invitations will also fail, so you will need to forget about that feature too.

  • Home folder stopping me from opening the mail application

    Ok this may sound stupid, but what and where is the home folder so tht I can delete documents in it to access the mail application?

    Your Home Folder is the one with the icon of a little house, and carries your username. It's in the Dock: its actual location is (hard disk)>Users><username). It contains your Documents, preferences, mail, everything personal to you. However 'delete documents in it to access the mail application' doesn't make any sense. The Mail application is in the Applications Folder. What happens when you double-click on it? Do you get an error message? Does it open?

  • Using hotmail with the mail application

    I would really like to use the mail program with my hotmail account, I tried an application that someone suggested but it did not work. Does anyone know of any programs that will allow me to use my hotmail in the mail application?

    You're showing as running a Windows machine.
    I would suggest using Google Mail. You can either set up GM to forward your messages, or configure Mail's POP3 account settings and have them brought in when you do a 'get mail'.

  • Can the Mail applications on Mac and iPhone talk to each other?

    I have synced my Gmail account to the Mail application on my MacBook Pro. During the day, I am out and about receiving, reading, and deleting emails on my iPhone, and when I get home and turn on the computer, I see all of those messages still there in my inbox, unread. Is there a way for the mac Mail app and the iPhone mail app to talk so that messages that are read in one place show up as read in the other place?

    I could have this thread moved to the iPhone forum. The iPhone gurus hang out there... let me know if you want to switch and I will ask a moderator to transfer the thread. I don't want to give you the wrong information.
    You could try searching this forum also. http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1144

  • Search across multiple folders in the Mail application...

    Is it possible to search across multiple folders using the Mail application in Windows 10?  I can't seem to find that option.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Mapper99,
    If you mean the following search:
    You may click on the search icon on the top of the message list, then it will show out like the picture above, you could choose to search in the current folder, or you may choose All folders as listed.
    It is almost the same settings in Windows 8.1, you may follow this guide for the other options:

    Note that you lose privacy when using Gmail (and Yahoo):
    Gmail and Yahoo both scan users' emails. They do algorithmic analysis of your email messages, targeting ads that relate to the content of your messages.

  • HT2500 whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

    whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

    1. If by flurry of emails you mean they all appear opened as if clicked on.
    2. Or do you mean your inbox fills up with a whole lot of 'new' unread emails downloaded from the server, so that if you delete them they return next time you open Mail.
    If it is 1. Press (three keys) Option + Command + W
    This will close all mail windows including the inbox.
    Then press (two keys) Command + 1
    to return the inbox.
    That should stop any flurry next time you open Mail
    If 2., Open Mail Preferences > Accounts (select the account in question if there is more than one), click on Advanced, and where it says remove copy from server after retrieving message, select that choice and click Remove now.

  • TS1506 I have a problem opening some email attachments. They will not open in the mail application on an IPad Air

    I recently upgraded from an iPad 1 to an Air. One of its main uses is to avoid printing volumes of papers for meetings, so the abilty to open attachments with mail is pretty important.
    There are some attachments that will not open in the mail application on an iPad Air. Some in the same format do (docx). They do open in Mail on my MacBook, and iPad1, or if I go to webmail on any device including a Blackberry, so it is not a file corruption problem.  The problem persists on different networks. Other emails from the same sender do work. It seems to be specifically related to IOS 7 or the Mail app. Quickview won't work, nor will opening with a range of Apps which report a file error.
    There was an historical problem with Apple garbling pdf files, but this is a new one on me.
    All this is a shame because it is opening emails in attachments that was one of my main reasons for buying an Air.
    Does anyone know of the cause? A solution?

    What about a work-around?
    Ios 7.1 etc. has a problem with communicating with exchange.  There are lots of reports of problems with pdf files.
    The work-arounds mentioned here may be of assistnace.
