What happened to mail?

Mail was working fine and then the application will not load or connect. The little color wheel appears and then the application will go to "Application Not Responding".
Does this mean the application has become corrupted on the disk or are there issues in connecting to the MAC Account/
I'm bewildered.

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Now, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it’s running):
1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears.
2. With no Internet connection.
Post back with your observations.

What happened to mail sent sent from keepers to inbox?

I sent mail from the keepers box to the inbox and it did not transfer. What happened to it? Can I retrieve it?

To what system are you referring? There is nothing on my iPhone called a "keepers box". Is English not your native language? If it isn't, try reposting in the language in which you're most comfortable.
The only thing I can think of is you mean the "Saved" or "Sent" folders in Mail.
Best of luck.

What Happens to Mail on Leopard After Move to iCloud?

Hi,
I just ran the Lion update on my MacBook Air, which I use mostly for traveling, and am thinking of activating iCloud. The MacBook I use at home, however, is a few years old and only runs Leopard ... what will happen to my Mail programme after I move to the cloud? Will mail still be delivered and show up without me having to visit the iCloud website?
I am hoping to buy a new iMac soon, so I don't want to upgrade from Leopard to Lion on my old MacBook.
Thanks a lot!
All the best,
Jana

Ok, so I just took the risk and moved to iCloud on my MacBook Air and the Mail programme on my old MacBook thankfully still seems to operate without any problems.

What happens to mail only accounts?

I bought 3 email only accounts along with the family pack in mobile me (when it was dot mac) long time ago
I paid for these for several years, then mobile me came in with Aliases, but my mail only accounts were tied over as legacies, and I continued paying for them in mobile me.
They are 3 [email protected] addresses, and are important to keep.
What will happen in iCloud? am I going to loose these addresses - which would have a major impact on my "digital lifestyle"
I really need to know how to keep them not figure out how to live without them!
Then also I have two email addreses/accounts as part of mobile me family pack, wife has two also, Son has one.
Does each of these accounts need migrating over to iCloud?
What if two of these are the same person on the same Mac(s)
Advice appreciated, thanks, Graham

You mention email-only and Family Pack: these are not the same thing, but it doesn't matter as they can be treated the same.
Each account (or sub-account) can be separately migrated to iCloud at http://me.com/move and will become a full individual iCloud account complete with all the facilities (Lion 10.7.2 required) and 5GB of free space.
What if two of these are the same person on the same Mac(s)
I see no reason why this should be a problem. You will need to sign in with your main account at System Preferences>iCloud and then add any subsequent accounts, that you want to use on the same user account on your Mac, at System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars.

What happened to "Mail Link to This Page" in Safari 6.0 in Mountain Lion?

I just loaded Mountain Lion onto my MacBook Pro. When I went to use Safari (6.0), I noticed that I can no longer find "Mail Link to This Page" under File. How do i mail a link now?

Thanks for that, as I hadn't noticed the dropdown in the composition window. However, it also requires you to change the format of the message to Rich Text in order for the page to transmit properly. I'm a journalist, and I use plain text for all my messages (newspapers prefer this), so now I have to select File>Share>Email This Page, then choose Send Web Content As Web Page, then change Message Format to Rich Text, before I get the result I need.
In the previous OS I just chose "Send Contents of Web Page" or whatever the instruction was, and it was done.
I'm beginning to understand the true difference between the phrases "unnecessarily complicated" and "simply elegant".
I appreciate your help, nevertheless.

What happened to Mail's trash?

I have Gmail trash but not my ATT trash anymore. How do I empty the trash after deleting a mail message?

You should not need to empty Trash. When you send it to the Trash it should be gone.

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

What happens to a mail item, Fn-Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed

What happens to a mail item, when Fn-Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed while in the mail tool? I can't seem to find the email file anywhere.
Is there a way to disable this key pattern in the mail program?

What happens to a mail item, when Fn-Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed while in the mail tool? I can't seem to find the email file anywhere.
Looks to me like I permanently deletes the message.
Is there a way to disable this key pattern in the mail program?
Is this really a key combination you find it easy to press by mistake? To answer the question, no, it doesn't look like you can remap that, but note that if you choose Edit -> Undo immediately after deleting, the message will come back.

I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. What happened?

I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. The only sharing options I have are for Facebook, YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes, and as Ringtone. What happened? I'm using the Garageband App 1.4(180.6) This happened once before, and by the time I'd gotten done submitting my question, the problem was fixed.

I powered my iPad off, and started it back up. Works fine now. huh.

What happened to the attachment icon in Mail?

I just upgraded to Lion, and I noticed that there wasn't an icon for mail attachments. I looked into preferences and no option there. I have to go into the menu to attach a file. What happened? That seems to be a pretty basic function.

You're right - it's not there, but it's such a long time since I've used it, I hadn't missed it! You can either go to File > Attach file, or do what I always do which is to open the folder containing the doc(s) you want to attach and simply drag onto the body of the email. You can also select more than one doc at once by using the Shift key (or the Apple key if they are not sequential) and attach several.

Last night, mail suddenly lost all my emails, which were stored in mailboxes. What happened and how can I find my lost files? I have the latest MacBookPro, running Lion 10.7.2 all software updates installed

Last night the mail application from Apple lost all my old emails, which were stored in mailboxes, neatly sorted by category. What happened and how do I find them?
Details: I shut down mail to run errands outside my office. My late model MacBook Pro was on "sleep". When I returned, I opened the application, and (RATS!) all the mailboxes were missing. They just evaporated.
Operating system: 10.7.2 - all software updates installed and current as of 24 hours ago (12-30-11, 6 AM EST).
ln the mail program, the trash folder is OK and the sent folder is OK.
Yesterday, I did no maintenance on my mail folders.
HELP!

1 - the sudden disappearance of my 22 mailboxes, used to sort the emails that I need to file for future use
That was most likely the result of some kind of corruption, as I've already said, not a bug in Mail. Have you repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility recently? That wouldn't be a bad idea.
2 - at random times, mail (or the server) says that my password is incorrect and I must reenter (fix: usually I can quit mail, restart, and the connection is restored without reentering my password)
This is a known issue, where a failure to respond promptly on the server's end mimics what happens when the password is rejected. There's no need to quit Mail, just cancel when asked to enter the password, take the account back online and try again.
3 - mail seems to resort the mail in my mailboxes at random time. Several times a day, I must reset the sort to (a) by date; (b) by desending
Never seen that before. That points more to some kind of possible corruption in your Mail data or preference files.

What happened to toDo's in Mail

What happened to ToDo's in mail? I used to be able to create a ToDo from a mail message I have not found a way to do that with the upgrade to Lion.

Hi, NO_PC. I missed the to-do box on Mail also, but I played with Mail and iCal till I found how to do it. I checked with Apple Express to be sure this was the way to do it.
In Mail, mouse over the header until you see the grab hand. Drag it to iCal and drop it into the events column. Then, grab the event and drop it in the Reminders column. It will make a reminder but careful! cuz both event and reminder will be in focus. If you delete the event, you'll delete the reminder too unless you first click in white space (or esc) to remove focus. Then click on the event and delete.
Open the reminder and you'll see the URL box says "Show in Mail" so you can refer back to the original email. If you "archive" the message it'll just stay in the archive mailbox till you're done with it.
I explained this in another section, if you want to read that (at the bottom):

No PCs. Bad PCs! Good luck, DeAnne
