There is a problem with your mailboxes!

I keep receiving this message when I attempt to open mail:
"There is a problem with your mailboxes.
Try clicking Quit and opening mail again.  If this message reappears, click Quit and Rebuild Index. The next time
you open Mail it will import your messages."
I have tried doing this and it gives me the same message each time and I can not access Mail.  I am traveling and do not have any disks with me.  I need to restore Mail or find away to fix the problem.  I do have a Time Machine backup with me and I am not sure if I can restore the Mail application from a day before it went bad.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

You are absolutely right! I should go and buy myself a PC and then start that up when I am frustrated with Apple products :-) My point was only that Apple products seem to have taken a turn for the worse recently, but they have definitely still not sunk to the level of a common PC :-)
That said - I have another frustrating problem which you might be able to help me with? I know this is probably not the correct place to post it, but I would very much like to hear if you have a solution:
I attempted to open up my iphoto yesterday and discovered that the recent update has managed to make (almost) all of my photos disappear. I panicked for a few minutes because I have not done a backup since my Time Capsule broke down about 9 months ago, but then I found them in another user profile on my imac, so I know that the photos are still there - just not showing up when I open iphoto in my default profile. I received some sort of message along the lines of: "you cannot view photos with this version of iphoto" and then I had to "upgade" or "quit". I chose the first option and... presto!... I only had 20 photos in iphoto - instead of 8000.
Do you have any idea what I can do to bring all of my photos back? Someone suggested that I should download the 9.1 version from the Apple website, but I haven't tried that yet. Sorry for troubling you with another issue - unrelated to the originial post - but judging by my recent experience, you are the best apple-problem-solver available on the internet :-)

    "There is a problem with your mailboxes." "Try clicking Quit and then opening Mail again. If this message reappears, click Quit and Rebuild index. The next time you open Mail, it will import your messages."
    This error has become more frequent every day as I use Mail. Luckily, I found through another thread in this Help Discussion Forum that the Avast Security App for Mac has a hard time with large mailboxes in the Mail.app:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9477497&#9477497
    The solution appears to be as simple as un-checking "Mail Support" in the Avast "Preferences…" and the issue will be resolved.

  • "There is a problem with your mailboxes, please quit and rebuild index"

    Is the error message I am seeing about every 5 minutes now but hadn't seen ever until about 2 weeks ago. What is wrong with Apple Mail and how can I sort this out? Rebuilding does nothing apart from waste my time.

    rebuild the entire mail index. quit mail and delete the file home directory/library/mail/envelope index. then start mail and say yes when it asks to import your messages. see if it works ok after that.

  • "There is a problem with your account..." when opening online OneNote file within local OneNote app

    Hi,
    We have a tenancy DirSync connection a small number of staff so that they can have access to SharePoint, Visio and OneNote Online. When one such user logs onto the http://[groupsite].sharepoint.com site on his Windows 7 PC with Office 2013 installed,
    he can access the site successfully. He might then open a OneNote file online. However, if he was to then click the "Open In OneNote" button from the toolbar, and clicked "Yes" to the Microsoft OneNote Security Notice:
    "Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern. This location may be unsafe".
    ... and then sign in with the same account to this box
    ... and then enters his correct credentials into the next "Sign In" window, it returns with the following message:
    "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later".
    Finally, the following message is returned within the MS OneNote app:
    "We couldn't open that location. It might not exist or you might not have permission to open it. Please contact the owner of onenote:https://[groupsite].sharepoint.com/sites/....one#SharePoint Team Site for more information."
    The user has reinstalled MS OneNote 2013 on the PC with no change. We have also removed all cached credentials from within Windows Credential Manager and rebooted with no success. The user can access all web-based resources such as SharePoint, OneNote and
    Visio, and he can open web-based Visio files locally on the locally-installed Visio app with no issues. This problem is specifically experienced when opening an online version of OneNote locally on a  PC that has either MS OneNote 2010 or OneNote 2013.
    Any assistance that you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Brian

    Thanks Maurice, for your reply.
    My Windows Account is already used to log into OneNote. It is the same Windows Account used to log into, and access online, the SharePointOnline, OneNote Online, etc., services. I tried, indeed, to sign out from my account within the client-version of OneNote
    but it returns the message "We can't remove Windows accounts".
    Again, this is the only account that has been used with this installation of OneNote, and it is that which has been uploaded by way of DirSync to Azure. It works for online versions of OneNote items, SharePoint and Visio, and for VisioOnline-based files
    that are opened within the local client-version of Visio. When trying to open the OneNote Online notebook within the local client-version of OneNote we get this issue.
    I have reinstalled Office with no success.
    Any help that you can provide in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

  • "There is a problem with your Iphone..."

    So I purchased my Iphone off trademe last year, it did not come with warranty ect.
    About 3 weeks ago I dropped my iphone in water, I put it in rice + silica gels in a sealed zip lock bag for about a week.
    It was working fine for about 2 days and it suddenly collapsed;
    - it does not charge properly, the battery is always on either 1% or 100% but whenever I pull it out of the charger, it turns off immediately or stays on for about a minute or so and shuts off.
    - It charges for a little whenever I plug it into my Mac, but then turns off after 5 min or so of charging and then blinks off and on with the apple logo continuously until I have to plug it into my wall charger.
    - It does not function properly unless it is plugged into my wall charger. It works for about 15 min and then turns off, automactically turning back on with the IOS 6 start up screen. Whenever this happens I have to turn it back off and then on for it to return to normal.
    - I have restored it once successfully, and it worked perfect, but I forgot to charge it over night and it went all funny again.
    So now, I have tried restore it again. I connected my iphone to itunes, and my iphone successfully stayed on throughout the process of restoration. But then as soon as it finished, my iphone was supposed to restart but it started blinking on and off which made me have to connect it back to my wall charger. So now it sometimes works normally whilst connected to the wall charger, but usually it continues to turn off and on with the IOS 6 start up screen. When I slide the 'set up' slide, it comes up with the image of the USB cord and Itunes saying 'Connect to Itunes. And so, I do. But then it comes up with the very annoying message "There is a problem with your Iphone, please go to your nearest apple store...ect." on itunes, but in my iphone it says "Connected to itunes." but I have no idea what to do next? I can't put it into recovery mode because it doesn't charge properly on my mac, so it does not turn back on no matter how long I have charged it for.
    I have NO idea what to do! And I need itunes to back up my phone!
    Any help is very appreciated!
    Does anyone know what I have to do to get my battery working normal again? And what I have to do to get my itunes to "not have a problem with my iphone?
    Thank you!

    I hate to tell you this, but there is most likely nothing left on the phone to back up. If youdidn't have it backed up already, it's too late now.
    As for getting it working again, make an appointment at the genius bar. You'll need to pay for an out of warranty replacement.
    That one is almost certainly toast.

  • What does this statement mean: "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue?"

    I am able to make it to the site for about 2 seconds and then I am quickly logged off and the statement, "There is a problem with your authentication, possibly due to inactivity. For your safety, you have been logged out and must sign in again to continue."
    I don't have a clue as to the problem but since this is impacting my participation in these classes and ultimately could have a negative impact on my grade, I am more than a little concerned!

    Hello mjswooosh,
    I'm very disheartened to hear that you've had ongoing problems when attempting to order from BestBuy.com. Our goal is ever to provide a fun and efficient shopping environment! Certainly creating aggravation serves neither you nor us and I apologize sincerely for this having been your experience.
    We recommend the troubleshooting steps you mentioned (i.e., clearing the browser cache, deleting temporary internet files and cookies) because this is the most common cause of this type of problem. I too have encountered this issue from time to time and these steps have almost always resolved the problem. I say almost always because there's one further step you can try: ensure that you have signed out of BestBuy.com, then perform the browser maintenance steps we've recommended. Afterward, before signing in to BestBuy.com, add your desired items to your cart and sign in as part of the checkout process. When the standard steps have not netted a resolution for me, this has solved the problem each time.
    I hope this helps. I'm very grateful that you took the time to write to us with your concerns and for sharing your very valuable feedback about your online experience.
    Sincerely,

  • OneNote 2013 throwing error: There is a problem with your account. Please try again later on Windows 8.1

    Hi
    I had Windows 8 installed on my corporate laptop till last week and as the OS crashed, I have re-installed the system with 8.1 and it has Office 2013 installed with my corporate ID. It is signed in Corporate credentials by default. But when I am trying to

    Note that My Microsoft is active and i am able to access the pages online.
    Pls help with me with a resolution

    Hi Raj_Tan,
    Thank you for posting this issue on the TechNet community forums.
    From the description I understand that you're having problems signing into OneNote 2013 with your Microsoft account and that it's giving you an error: "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later". You mentioned you are able to
    access the pages online.
    Could you please try the following:
    Check if you are able to login to other office apps with your Microsoft account.
    Check if you are able to login to the OneDrive app using your Microsoft account.
    Try emptying all saved passwords from the credential manager:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/remove-stored-passwords-certificates-and-other-credentials
    Although this link applies to Windows 7, the process is the same in Windows 8.

  • ITunes Match: There was a problem with your payment type.

    Does anyone have an answer to this?
    Would be greatful for help.
    Thanks in advance
    iTunes Match: There was a problem with your payment type.
    There was a problem with your payment type that prevented the automatic renewal of your subscription to iTunes Match. To renew your subscription and to regain the ability to store your entire music collection on iCloud and enjoy it on your iOS devices, iTunes, and Apple TV, you will need to update your payment information. iTunes Match stores not only your songs purchased on the iTunes Store, but all of the other great music you have acquired over the years, including music from CDs.
    To update your payment information or manage your subscription, sign in to iTunes on your computer and go to your Account Information page. Your matched and uploaded tracks will be removed from iCloud in 90 days, so renew your subscription now and keep all of your music in the cloud so you can listen to it anytime, anywhere.
    Regards,
    The iTunes Store team
