Why does Mail completely not work?

I've been using Mail ever since I got my macbook.
Got it linked up with both my hotmail and gmail accounts so I have at least a couple thousand emails on it.
And now when I open it, its just not working at all. It feebly tries to retrieve mail.. When I click onto inbox, sent or even trash it shows me no previous emails.. As if its completely empty. Needs to be force quit for me to exit it.
Anyone else facing a similar problem?

Try deleting non-working accounts and re-creating them.  Your emails that made it thru should be in your home folder>library>mail>mailboxes>select mailbox>messages, it will be stored as a .emlx with a numberxxxx.emlx, you will have to sort thru them, but they should be there.

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.
    Message was edited by: khettich

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work

    I purchased the CS5 Adobe Production Premium.  I have been working in Premiere and I have been learning about how to use Dynamic Link. I want to be able to alter clips in After Effects and bring them back and forth into Premiere.  When I go to File/ Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effect Composition, I get this message:
    Adobe Dynamic Link Requires Adobe Production Premium.
    Since I own production premium, I do not know why I am getting this message.  I have reinstalled the CS5 Production Premium Software twice and it still gives me the same message.  What can I do to get Dynamic Link Working.

    Thank you for the tip.  Could you possibly tell me how to deactivate and
    then reactivate the suite.  I am using a Macbook Pro laptop running OS
    10.6.4.  I do not even know where to start.

    Deactivate the software (not uninstall), and then reactivate the suite.
    This often fixes this. You can opt to leave the serial number on the
    system; no need to clear it and re-enter it.

  • Why does my volume not work out loud?

    Um I'm not sure why my volume is not working anymore. Like sometimes it works and others it doesn't. Then I plug my headphones in nd it works when it wants to. But majority of the time it doesn't work... What's up with that?!?

    I solved this problem by shutting down my ipad completely with the switch button. And then held down the Home button for about 60 seconds. I switched my ipad back on and Voila! My sound was restored to normal. But I've not tried to use it with a headset and see if the problem occurs again. Best to you all!

  • Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

    Hello:
    I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
    I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
    I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
    I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
    I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
    However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
    Many thanks.

  • Why does 'insert image' not work?

    If I use Insert Image, the image appears on the email, but is not sent to the recipient. Why?
    Whats the point of it if it appears to work but doesn't?

    <blockquote>The fact that WYSIWYG does not work sometimes is no reason to regard it as not sensible to try and achieve. </blockquote>
    Never is more the point. It never works on the internet, every browser and mail client renders fonts and forms and images differently. That is why most web sites use the browser string to choose which version of the site to offer up.
    Change printers in a word processor and see WYSIWG change. Field questions from users who have suddenly manager to get their document on a 30 degree slant because their document formatting resembles a typewriter.
    <blockquote>If what you see on the screen is completely different from what you send, how are you supposed to make quality judgements? </blockquote>
    People writing computer programs and HTML have been doing it ever since there have been computers. Imagination and knowledge of the rendering capabilities to the expected client give some level of confidence. and KISS applies. The less complex the less likely it is to go spectacularly wrong
    <blockquote>Having a link to a persons computer from another computer is an invitation to hackers. </blockquote>
    That is what every address on the internet is, a link from one computer to another. Usually, your computer to someone elses. It is also why windows supports UNC names for files.
    <blockquote>Why would you do that?</blockquote
    Perhaps so content can be created once and use repeatedly without having to copy the data and perhaps corrupt it in the process. It also allows for content to be changed after the fact, so you can do a countdown due in X days
    <blockquote>
    Also,it still doesn't work. I tried sending myself an email, </blockquote>
    Did you get the email, many providers just don't deliver mail to yourself anymore.
    <blockquote>
    and it should have referenced the file on my computer, but it didn't.
    </blockquote>
    What did the HTML img tag actually contain?
    <blockquote>
    The concept of sending half a document, and referencing the rest of the document from a computer somewhere on the Internet (which might be off), absolutely stupid from many points of view.</blockquote>
    Depends, remote images in email are a perfect example of it. Many of today's emails would not be sent due to their size if the images were not remote, and how to marketers get to know who you are unless there are remote images so they can track you.
    In a corporate environment there are places where you would be sacked for actually attaching documents to an email. A link to them on the server maintains the companies control of their intellectual property. Placing it in an email obviates all of that.
    So get used to the fact that email is not WYSIWYG. It does not even use the same fonts you do, unless by happen-chance the recipient also has the same ones.
    What does the message source say about the IMG tag for the image.
    <preformat>
    ><img alt="" src="file:///C:/Users/Matt/Desktop/CSV%20how%20to/more%20images/blinkers.png" height="315" width="392">
    </preformat>
    It will look something like this for a local link with moz-do-not-send="true" set if I specify not to include the image with the message.
    <blockquote>If Thunderbird has some inherent problem with incorporating image files into a document, then it should not allow it as an option. </blockquote>
    I am afraid is simply do not understand that statement at all. You are the only person I have ever encountered that could not include an image in their email.
    <blockquote>One thing that most Windows software now allows is transferring files between formats, </blockquote>
    How come I can not get mail out of outlook in a usable format? Are BMP, JPEG and PNG images interchangeable?
    I previously asked <blockquote>So what format is this image? (What file type) How large is it? What anti virus program do you use?</blockquote>
