Update of Mail App?

Now that mail for Mobile me is out (in beta) and improvements have been made to iphone 4 mail- the Mail App in OS 10.6.4 is looking outdated. I love the new mail layouts in mobile me mail and some of the other functions (yes there are some extensions that mimic this- but they are only adequate). Also, you have the new Outlook 2011 coming out soon. Any news on Mail App getting a facelift to match the offerings in Mobile me/iphone? I could ask the same thing about Calendar- newly in beta on mobile me- but rather outdated in the OS.

…That is unfortunate as I think mail is getting passed by from some from its competitors
That's a good thing. Apple provides a basic, useful program for most of us, and the market provides a more advanced product for those that need it.
I agree. Diversity is a virtue when it comes to email apps.

    Any help can be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Safari, Software Update and Mail apps won't connect

    Safari, Software Update and Mail apps won't connect to the Internet. Software Update fails with a suggestion of running Network Diagnostic. Network diagnostic says everything is fine. Firefox connects without any problems. Any ideas. This is my work computer and I need it to work.

    Fixed it myself. Under network settings "Auto Proxy Discovery" was enabled. When I turned this off everything started working again. Not sure how this was enabled in the first place.

  • After iOS 8 update, the mail app crashes on iPhone 4S

    I've updated to iOS 8 this afternoon and now the mail app crashes.  It will open the first time after a power off and restart of my 4S but after that first time it will crash every single time I try to open it. I can only reopen it after I've done a full reboot of the phone, and then only once. Is there a quick fix or do I get to wait for an update?

    I tried all of the suggested solutions mentioned in this thread, and finally did a full reset according to Apple's instructions, step by step (as an engineer and 40 year computer user I am good at that stuff).
    Sorry to say after the several hour process, not one of the problems I have experienced have been solved. 
    IPad 2 is still running slow and choppy.
    Some Apps do not even load.
    Website pages will not load and result in error messages. One particularly annoying Safari error on loading a new web page is:  "a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded".
    MY iPad  2 worked perfectly for the last couple of years through several updates that performed seamlessly, but this one and the two most recent corrected updates have rendered my iPad so degraded that I don't think I will be using it much anymore. I originally bought the tablet because of it's smooth GUI and fast performance, the reliability and error free environment, and Apple's proven record for effective updates. That's all gone now.

  • Unread message count not updating in Mail.app

    I am running a MBP 15" with 10.4.10 and Mail.app (version 2.1.1 build 752.3) and as you can see in this screengrab here:
    the unread message count is not correctly updating.
    This may actually be something for the Mail dev' team to handle, unless some one else out there in the groups has some inside knowledge about this issue.
    For that matter, I do not know how to forward this to the Mail dev' team inside Apple, so if any one else does, please do.
    Cheers.

    Jason,
    What screengrab?
    What type of account do you have -- POP, IMAP or .mac? How many accounts do you have? Do you access your account from more than one computer?
    Unread message count where -- on the Mail Icon in the Dock or in individual mailboxes? In the Dock, the Unread message count will NOT reflect any messages moved to custom mailboxes by Rules, but only those in the Inboxes.

  • Update of Mail app (Version 7.3) on OS X 10.9.4- no sublabels from Gmail

    Gmail sub labels don't show anymore, but still show on iPhone and iPad (Gmail settings are all set to Show labels, but no specific option for sub labels) - this only happened after update, nothing was changed on Gmail settings (checked only afterwards).  How do I show sub labels of the 'All Mail' folder (Gmail) in Mail app again?

    You downloaded a beta copy of 7.1 because the current version is 7.0.5. There was a mixup yesterday and 7.1 was accidentally made available for downloading. Do you have a backup you can restore from to get 7.0.5?
    You can also try running the combo update to see if it will restore it.

  • Why is unread messages not updated in mail.app until restart

    I have imap accounts in mail.app and on my iPhone and my iPod Touch and they are are all setup the same. If I read a msg on the mail.app, it is marked as read correctly and this also shows up on the iPhone and the iPod. But if I read the msg any other way, like on the iPhone, iPod or webmail, the msg is marked as read on all devices except the mail.app
    The unread mail count will be correct if the mail.app program is restarted, but reoccurs as soon as the above is repeated.
    This seems to be a problem that was reported earlier in 2007 on this forum (see link below) and marked as answered but I couldn't find any fixes, so if I missed them could anyone direct me to that or let me know if this is still an issue that needs to be fixed?

    Thanks. After the rebuild of the indices the messages were again visible. It took indeed more than an hour. The help of mail was OK to find out how to do this (see below)  
    I had clicked first on the 'Postbus | bouw opnieuw op' rebuild option, but nothing happened.
    The only minor thing now is that the Mail app icon shows in red more than 100 although there are only a few unread mails.
    Berichten opnieuw indexeren
    .          Stop Mail als het programma is geopend.
    .          Ga naar~/Bibliotheek/Mail/V2/MailData en verwijder alle bestanden die beginnen met 'Envelope Index', zoals 'Envelope Index' en 'Envelope Index-shm'.
Om de map 'Bibliotheek' in uw thuismap weer te geven, gaat u naar de Finder en kiest u 'Ga' > 'Bibliotheek' terwijl u de Option-toets ingedrukt houdt.
    Open Mail.
 Mail maakt vervolgens nieuwe Envelope Index-bestanden aan. Dit proces kan enkele minuten in beslag nemen, afhankelijk van het aantal berichten dat Mail opnieuw indexeert.

    I re-downloaded the driver just in case it changed (it hadn't)
    rebooted my Mac
    Installed the driver from the disk image
    Added the printer from the 'nearby' list

  • Mail App dead after Leopard upgrade + 10.5.6 update

    Has anyone else ended up with a dead Mail app after upgrading to Leopard and applying the 10.5.6 update? Mail app would appear to launch, but would not run or quit. Reinstalling the 10.5.6 combo update didn't help. I had to reinstall Leopard from scratch to fix the problem. Needless to say, I updated to 10.5.5 the second time and everything works fine. But it appears that 10.5.6 can lay some nasty surprises on you.

    After upgrading from Tiger to Leopard with the default method Mail was the only thing that didn't work. It wouldn't open a Mail window, appeared to be open on the menu bar and in the dock but would not quit from either command. I had to force quit. When I finally got a mail window to appear, all my email profiles and folders appeared in the left hand bar, but nary an email to be seen in any location. I could not send or receive emails. Pretty much dead!
    I didn't have a meltdown because I'd archived my most important emails that were in my folders. I dug through dozens of posts on multiple forums and tried a procedure I could see was making it worse. I shut down the computer so I could get help from AppleCare this morning.
    I got in trouble following the less than adequate instructions from The AppleBlog; inadequate because it didn't say where to move the folders and plist to. My most helpful Apple Tech advised me that I needed to QUIT Mail before dragging ONLY the ~Library>Preferences>com.apple.mail.plist file to my desktop. The two folders need to stay in the Library.
    After you are out of Mail, on the desktop click on the plist to highlight it. Use Control-click to display the popup menu and select Copy for the plist. Open finder window and select ONLY Preferences (~Library>Preferences) so the word Preferences is highlighted. Go to the Finder>Edit>Paste drop down menu of the toolbar. Select Paste. It will ask if you want to replace the newly created plist with the one you just copied. Select replace. Relaunch Mail and that should restore all your Mail Profiles and retrieve your messages.
    This process even brought back my mail folders and put all my saved messages back where they were filed. I didn't have to get into my archived messages file after all.
    I just wish I could have found this simpler fix online without spending hours searching and reading conflicting suggestions. Maybe this will help someone else fix their problem faster.

  • OS X update failed and now i can't launch App Store and Mail.app

    Today my Mac offered me to update OS X.
    During update there was unknown error and known I can't launch App Store to finish update. Mail.app also doesn't work.

    I've just download http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1641 and installed it. This helped me.
    Thank ypu for advice.

  • App store and Mail app are crashing in my mac air 10.9.5

    All my apps are crashing and i am not able to open any of them . App store for Software update and Mail app, Photos app are all crashing. I have OS X 10.9.5 in my system. I removed Parallels trail version and also Clean My Mac app, Still i have the issue,Please help me to resolve the issue,

    "CleanMyMac" purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Mail.app crashes: repeatable, specific emails and providers

    Ongoing problem, now getting worse that VoiceOver has not been updated. Mail.app crashes while VoiceOver is reading a piece of mail. In general these pieces are either from AOL.com, MSN.com and one or two other sources and all have embedded html content. This is repeatable [ I have sent this to three other Macs and asked the owners to turn on VO and read the mail - each crashed ].
    Along the same lines, Safari is crashing on certain pages - also repeatable, but I have not yet found the html , xml, ???ml code that is offensive to VO.
    Have there been any updates to VO at all???? Anything with Leopard?
    Thanks. [ hoping this finds it's way to someone at Apple ] Al

    Hi Al.
    Leopard does have a newer version, created... Thu,10,04, 2007 08:52 381,040 Bytes.

  • Wrong version of mail.app after time machine restore

    So the hard drive on my iMac was complaining this morning and required a restore from Time Machine, which appeared to go well. I chose the most recent backup (yesterday) and Adobe Bridge / PS crashed / gave an error on first boot. Aside from that the only issue I'm having is with the mail app where it says version 4 cannot be used with 10.6.1.
    It seems odd that Time Machine hasn't backed up the application in the correct version (possible bug?) despite having a long list of 10.6 backups since I upgraded however, more importantly, how do I get the right version installed please?

    I am having the same problem. I am restoring my HD from a Time Machine backup and I am getting mail.app 4.0 instead of 4.1. I looked in Time Machine and found that 4.1 was not backed up.
    I have a separate backup copy I made with SuperDuper in the "Erase, then copy...." mode. I looked and it has mail.app 4.1.
    To save time, I restored my HD with SuperDuper in the "Smart Update" mode. This only looks for changes to make the disks the same. When it finished I still had mail.app 4.0 on my HD.
    When I tried to find out why it hadn't updated to mail.app 4.1, I checked the Date Created and Date Modified on both mail.app 4.0 and 4.1. The dates on 4.0 and 4.1 are all the save, Friday, July 24, 2009 2:20 AM.
    Apparently Time Machine is not backing up the new version of mail.app because it doesn't think it has changed with the Date Created and Date Modified being the same. SuperDuper in "Smart Update" also doesn't think there is a change so it doesn't copy mail.app 4.1.
    I have now restored my HD with SuperDuper in the "Erase, then copy...." mode so that I am sure that it copies all the files. I now have mail.app 4.1 and mail works again.
    Apple needs to give mail.app 4.1 newer Date Created and Date Modified dates.
    The only way I can overcome this problem in back up and restore is to delete my Time Machine backups and start a new backup to be sure mail.app 4.1 is backed up.
    I will also do an "Erase, then copy...." with SuperDuper on all three on my Macs to be sure I have complete backups.

  • Mail app won't launch: "No Info.plist file in application bundle..."

    Hi -
    I'm running 10.6.8 on an Intel iMac and haven't used Mail in a long time.  I tried to start it today and it won't launch.  I opened the Package Contents for the app from the Finder, and double clicked the Mail executable.  It launched in a Terminal window and gave the following error message:
    Last login: Thu May 24 12:17:01 on ttys000
    /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Mail ; exit;
    imac:~ Bill$ /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Mail ; exit;

    logout
    I looked and there is a file called Info.plist in the folder and it even has the string NSPrincipalClass in it.  Beyond that, I am clueless! 
    Any help much appreciated!
        Bill

    I would download and run the OS X 10.6.8 Combo update.
    I peeked into it with Pacifist, and it contains an update for Mail.app, including replacements for the executable and the info.plist:
