TS3276 I use Mail for my email and lately, if I get an email coming in while writing one, the program freezes for a few seconds. Frustrating.

I have a 27" iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I use Mail for my email. Just in the past 2 -3 months, if I'm writing an email while another one is coming in to the inbox, the program freezes, the spinning colour ball appears and I can't continue typing for 5 seconds or more. I get and write a lot of emails so it's frustrating.
I've also noticed that sending messages is taking longer than it used to. The program spins its wheels for a few seconds before sending. Definitely noticeably longer than prior to this situation. Any ideas anyone?

I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

Try to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings. It won't delete your data.
When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted?

How do I use a different email on my daughters ipod? It used to be my sons and we need to get his email off without erasing everything.

I am just trying to set my daughters ipod, that used to be her brothers. I don't want to erase everything but I want her to have her own email account on this ipod. So that the itunes aren't shared. How do I go about that?

CHANGE ID
The ID is used for:
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
Settings>iCloud
and Settings>iTunes and App store
You have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sing in with other ID.
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
If the iPod has iOS 7 then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts

Thunderbird automatically upgraded to version 24.6.0. Now, when you start it, the program freezes for about 15 seconds before showing mails, etc.

Annoying that the default option is to automatically upgrade, and this automatic upgrade then makes the program 10x worse.

Thanks for everyone's help, btw. Hopefully this will help others who encounter a similar problem.

How do I just remove the current update to 3.6.12 and go back to an earlier version as I can not take the continual freeze ups ever few mins.? If this continues I will remove Firefox totally and switch to another browser I can not take this anymore.

I can NOT take the continual freeze ups of my entire browser even worse when updating a page let alone just opening email. I closed the browser and have had to use even just microsoft or Google since this Firefox has gotten so horrible...
I clear my history and my cache so many times a day I can not keep track anymore and that is insane to have to do it as many times as I am even worse that it does not help in the least!
I have used Firefox for years now but if I have to remove it and switch to a different one by the days end I will and I will post in Facebook to all my friends who I had switch to Firefox what and why though some have already just switched to other browsers.

First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion. To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4. What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content. Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems. You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults. A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install. If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

Do you receive AOL mail in the Mail app or on the website?

I have an Apple computer, use both Firefox and Safari browsers, use Comcast for my email. Lately, when on Firefox, my email is not functioning properly. Why?

I have an Apple computer, use both Safari and Firefox browsers. I use both Apple mail and Comcast for my email. Lately, when in Firefox, my email does not work properly. I get a message "your servers license has expired". While I can usually access my emails I cannot delete unwanted emails. This problem does not happen when I use Safari and Apple mail. Is this a Firefox issue or Comcast? Do you know what license expiration refers to?

Mail should normally reach you within a few moments, if you are sure that your mail application and/or your ISP are not filtering out the e-mail from Apple, then you may wish to contact Apple at Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
