Why does mail hang up while upgrading with mountain lion

Recently upgraded to ML. First time I open mail, it says it must upgrade before using....from that point it just gets hung up... no work, no mail, nothing. Any ideas?

This is the screen shot from the MacAir I'm working on...

iMac G5 can only be upgraded to 10.5.8.
If you have continuing use, you are among the lucky ones. I purchased many of these used from a company that shut down its American office. Many of these eventually suffered from the "bad capacitor" problem and required a motherboard replacement from Apple. I was lucky in that my local Genius bar approved these for no charge, even though Apple's extended warranty had expired.
My last one was my desktop Mac. It's power supply failed in 2010 and I paid for a replacement. In Summer 2011 when its HD failed, I decided it was time to move on and purchaed a Mac Mini, which I continue to run on Lion.

Problems with Mail (on O2) since upgrade to Mountain Lion

After having spent a frustrating few days trying to get this sorted, I thought I should make folk aware of the above problem. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have not been able to send email using smtp.o2.co.uk. The O2 call centre notes that a number of folk have been having this problem.
Some have suggested setting Custom Port to 25 but this hasn't worked for me.
Apparently O2 are going to get back to me within 5 days with an answer. I'm not holding my breath but am pleased to say I can still use my iPhone to send email.
Can't help but wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that I signed up for an iCloud (***@me.com) account at the same time.
Any thoughts?

I got a fix. it works for me. while i'm on ML. safari and mail doesn't work properly. mail can't send emails with attachment and safari unble to open certain webpages.
i've log into my Internet modem, enable router mode from bridge mode. it works fine now. no promlem with sending emails or surfing the web. hope it'll helpful for u guys.

Why is my macbook air not compatible with mountain lion?

When i want to buy montain lion in the app store i get the message that my machine (Macbook air) is not compatible. Why is that and can i do something to solve that problem?

Because your model is old and does not support the 64-bit EFI ROM requirement to install Mountain Lion. If you meet the 2 GB RAM requirements you could install Lion:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

Mail sorting problem after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

I have a strange problem with Mail after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Before upgrading, when I tried to search my Mail Inbox for e-mails from a specific sender, the esearch results would be indexed by the name of the sender. For example: when I entered 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail, it would display a list of email from 'John Smith'
Now after upgrading, the same query indexes the search results by the 'To' address i.e. my email address.For example: if my name is 'Steve Johnson', a search for 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail displays a list of email to 'Steve Johnson' and not from 'John Smith' which is how it used to display before.
My emails are sorted by Date always, and I am using the default Mail view [not classic view]
Can someone please help with a fix for this to help me get back to the original display I had while searching? Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem. It's incredibly annoying!!! Did you find an answer?

HT4864 mail not working after upgrade to mountain lion

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I have been unable to get my mail to work, while ICloud is working just fine.
What settings do I need to change in mail to get the programme to work again?
Thanks for your help!

Delete your iCloud account from Mail's Accounts preference pane and then add it back. See if that won't jump start the account.
The font size you use is a bit small for these old eyes. Can you use the standard font and size to make it easier on us old types?

Could someone help me with instructions for doing a clean install for iMac with mountain lion 10.8.4 ?

   Barney, William, nbar, Galt\'s Gulch:
   A nephew stayed with us to take a course at the local community college last semester. I allowed him use of my mac for research just after I installed Mountain Lion. He decided to "help out" and ran a 3rd party clean and tune up app., Magician. The tune up wiped over 1200 titles of my music in iTunes, also a path of folders with names containing nothing but more empty folders with names. Almost every program I open and run for a short time crashes, also folders and programs are in wrong places, or cannot be located (the nephew, for instance). Up to this time I have always been able to track a problem far enough to resolve it by careful persistence and good luck, but I do not have the tech savvy to solve this one without getting in deeper. I have run disk utility saveral times and always get variations of this:
ACL found but not expected on
"private/etc/resolve.conf"
"private/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel"
"private/etc/rabbd/sites-enabled/control-socket"
     Also, after four years of intense daily use it is cluttered with much junk, and every app that I was curious about, and I am a very curious guy.
   So I know my limits, (and now my nephew). I dumped my pc for a Strawberry iMac a few years ago, and so far every problem I've encountered, or brought on myself, the Mac has resolved with its own inner elegance - in spite of my novice bungels - and now I honestly feel ashamed, in addition to the need to apologize to a machine for allowing a peasant into the Royal Grounds - so I am calling the Wise Ones in for this one.
   Crazy, I know, but to me a Mac represents something far beyond the ordinary input ➛ process ➛ output title/function customarily assigned to a machine - I sense an odd kind of morality involved, one that I need to respect.
    So, these are my reasons for wanting to do a clean install, correctly.
        Thank you, Truitt

Why cant i upload files after upgrading to mountain lion?

i just upgraded to mountain lion and now when i try to select files to upload using safari it will not let me select them.is this a common fault?how do i remedy this?

You probably have some incompatible software.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

Why does Mail hang up so often?

At least once a day, Mail hangs up and forces me to Force Quit in order to get it to function again.
Is there some fix for this? Some setting I should change?
I use Firefox, not Safari, as my browser, in case that has any bearing on it.

First, make sure you have a backup; nothing should get deleted, but anything is possible.
Try rebuilding all the mailboxes using the command on the mailbox menu. Select each and Rebuild.
Or, you can just nuke all the indexes by removing the Envelope Index files from here:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/
Quit Mail first, then start Mail and it will rebuild the indexes.
Another option is to remove the com.apple.mail folder from here:
~/Library/Containers

Mail does not retreive messages after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I just upgraded my work iMac (2009) to Mountain Lion last night and now it will not retreive any messages from my work email account (POP). It was working fine yesterday (and for the past 3+ years) while I was still on Lion, but despite searching for answers and trying multiple solutions for several hours, I still cannot get it to work. Among other things, I have deleted and then added the account back (multiple times); restarted the Mac (multiple times); and zapped the PRAM, but nothing has fixed it yet.
When I select "Get Mail" from that mailbox and watch the Activity Monitor, it connects to the server, says "Fetching new mail", then "Preparing to retreive new mail", but it then just disappears after about about a minute and makes the "no mail" beep. There are no error messages, but I can see in the bottom "Mail Activity" window that it says it's downloading 40+ messages but nothing shows up. The mail account still works on my iPhone and I can check the mail on my webmail server, so I don't think it has anything to do with the server especially since it worked fine yesterday.
Any insight would be much appreciated because it's driving me crazy!!

I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

Why can't I print after upgrading to Mountain Lion with my Canon MF4450?

I've upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion and now I can't print with my Canon MF4450.
I've already downloaded the new updated drivers from Canon's website and installed them. I've even tried uninstalling the old printer drivers, completely deleting the printer, and re-installing the printer again.
Strange thing is, this doesn't happen with ALL apps. For example, when I use Preview app to print, it hangs and I have to force close the app. If I use TextEdit app to print, it hangs as well. Same thing occurs with Notes app. There's no error messages, it just freezes and hangs until I force it to quit. However, after I force the app to quit, I get asked if I want to report the issue to Apple. Here's the details from that error:
