Why has My mail program failed?

I am having problems with my 27" Mac (about 3 years old). It seems to caused by the Mail program and does not occur if Mail is not loaded in. Basically the computer slows down and sometimes locks up, If Mail is not loaded, I can use other programs and surf the internet as normal.
I know that others have similar problems but do not understand Apple's silence on this matter. I would like to know if there is any fix that I can do for this problem and when will Apple make the necessary fix.?

Back up all data, then triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
From the folder that opens, move these two files to the Trash:
crlcache.db
ocspcache.db
You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.

  • Why has my mail started storing under Load More Messages. I'm now unable to access my mail messages.

    Why has my mail started storing under Load More Messages. I'm now unable to access my mail messages.

    This is my basic, first start, recommended "fix" when these types of weird, unexplained things occur on the iPad. Give it a try. After you reboot, go back to the mail app and see if the messages will load.
    Quit the mail app completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why is my mail program so slow with Yosemite

    I am running 10.10.1 on my G5 (2010). Mail program is not running as before I upgraded. Everything in my mail is slow: typing, incoming, outgoing... Any ideas?

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last failed boot. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Check Mail program failed

    Hi all, I have a litle problem with a function in a check mail program, that is a NoSuchProviderException, the code is:
    public void checkMail(){
    try{
    Properties props = new Properties();
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
    Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
    store.connect("myhost", "myusername", "mypassword");
    Folder folder = store.getFolder("inbox");
    folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
    Message message[] = folder.getMessages();
    for (int i=0;i<message.length;i++){
    System.out.println(i + ": " + message.getFrom()[0] + "\t" + message[i].getSubject());
    System.out.println(message[i].getContent());
    folder.close(false);
    store.close();
    }catch(NoSuchProviderException e){
    System.out.println("problems : " + e.getMessage());
    }catch(MessagingException e){
    System.out.println("problems2");
    }catch(IOException e){
    System.out.println("problems3");
    the message is:"No provider for pop3"
    , I have tried to put POP3 and others combinations, only one works, it's imap, but fail in the next step, because of the machine does not support the imap protocol. Also I have pop3.jar in classpath, I have no idea what is the problem.
    thanks

    You must have com.sun.mail.pop3.* package in your classpath and it seems like you don't

  • Why does my Mail program keep shutting down?

    At least daily, my Mail program unexpectedly shuts down.  It never happens while I am actively using the program so I have not lost any data; however, it is abnormal and is starting to make me feel a little concerned.

  • Why does my mail program keep logging out?

    While using the on board mail program we have recently started having an issue with the program logging our password out. Sometimes it happens one right after the other and other times it will go for an hour or so and ask for the password to be re-entered.
    Any idea what could be causing this?
    Thanks

  • Mail is in a loop.  I tried to send a bulk mailing from Filemaker Pro 10 and it has my mail program in a loop.

    I attempted to send a bulk mailing from my Filemaker Pro 10 database.  There were two bad addresses in the mix and mail continues to paint the attempts on my screen.  I have force quit the program but when I open it again, it goes back into the loop and paints messages until the program crashes.  How can I stop the emailing?

    Start off by trying to reset the ipad. Press and hold the power and home buttons at the same time until the device powers down and you see the Apple logo.

  • Why has my Mail app disappeared from my MacBook Pro?

    If i try to open the Mail app from my applications folder I get the following error message, "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of OS X"
    As far as i remember the mail app disappeared since I accepted a security update.
    Grateful for any help in retrieving my mail and mailboxes......

    !! WARNING !!
    about the September 2012
    "Security Update 2012-004"
    If you've got "Mail.app" in a folder OTHER THAN the root "Applications" folder,
    MOVE "MAIL.APP" TO THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER
    **BEFORE** INSTALLING THE "004" UPDATE!!
    Because *IF* you use OSX's integrated Software Update app from the Apple menu to do the "004" updating, and *IF* your Mail.app is NOT in the Applications folder, then buddy, you've got some sitdown fixit time ahead of ya and/or some internet tie-up time downloading the "004" update file itself.
    Been through it all, already.  In fact, just got done getting my Mail back up & running. And I tried everything short of attempting to unpacking my "Mail.pkg" receipt file using... whatever... even Pacifist couldn't get it out. So that fixit "Plan D" died quick. And I'm not savvy enough to use Terminal commands to do "Plan E," so that SUDO stuff was my brick wall.
    So I compressed my entire "Mail" subdirectory that contain all my emails, for safekeeping during the required surgery, or whatever would work, leaving the original Mail directory where it was. In case something bad happened in all my fixit whatevers, the one thing I *didn't* want to cross paths with was a hosed Library -> Mail folder. Then I'd be pssd. But I can wipe out that ZIP now 'cause all's well now. After 6 hrs of downloading thru a mobile broadband hotspot running at only 14KB/sec speed due to my having gone over my T-Mobile hotspot plan's bandwidth amount (throttled-down after reaching the limit, tho not cut off completely. Kinda nice, but it's a huge speed drop).
    I tried moving the two Mail.app versions around, compressing them & then trashing the original so they wouldn't be recognized, blabla, even booted my Mac in Safe Mode & reinstalled the "MacOSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Update Combo.dmg" update file, which in the past has fixed many problems. But after restarting, not this one.
    Like a dummy who ignored knowing better, I had my Mail.app in a folder other than the Applications folder, with only an alias to that being in the Applications folder. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. The updater don't see that as nuthin special or useful.
    So if you've got, like I've got, "old" icons for Mail.app (v4.5) in your Finder toolbar & in your Dock that all point to "Mail.app v4.5" in whatever folder you've got that in, other than in the Applications folder (where Apple apparently REQUIRES that it be located, and ONLY there, at least for OSX updating purposes), then after you download & autorun that "004" updater using Software Update, NONE of your pre-existing Mail icons will work. And MOST aggravatingly, **NOR** will your brand-new "Mail.app v4.6" work that came out of the "004" updating installation.  So basically, your Mail.app's... all of 'em.... are hosed. But only if you run the "004" update without your "Mail.app v4.5" being located in your Applications folder and ONLY in your Applications folder. And duplicates of Mail.app, scattered around your HDD??  Always a problem with many Apple apps.... The Apple software engineers apparently like 'em to be in the Applications folder, and in ONLY there, and ONLY the latest version, and ONLY 1 single copy of each on your entire HDD. They just don't seem to stress that enough, it appears. Kind of an oversight for them to not emphasize that, IMO...
    My recommendation for this particular September 2012 "004" update:
    If you run Software Update, and if you see the "Security Update 2012-004" listed as available for download, UNCHECKMARK IT.  DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT USING SOFTWARE UPDATE !  Instead, download the actual update file itself.
    Same thing, only a different way of doing it. Most importantly, you'll be skipping the auto-installation that Software Update performs.
    AND you'll have that update file on your HDD for future fixits, should a nasty "unfixable" problem come up.
    First, #1. Do a filename search for "Mail" (Option-Command-Spacebar). Scroll down to where the "Apps" are located in the list under the "Kind" column heading. First, find your Mail.app that's v4.5. Get that bugger into your Applications folder if it's not already there. Next, Trash all other "Mail.app" apps you see in that same list that you may have elsewhere on your HDD.
    #2. Go here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
    And download the actual "004" DMG update file: "SecUpd2012-004.dmg"
    And of course, it's a biggie.... 270MB... so watching grass grow may be involved here if you've got a slow connection (go to a MacDonalds & do it, like I shoulda done).
    3. After downloading, I'd recommend closing down all apps, emptying the Trash, and restarting.
    Then, after restarting, run Disk Utility's "Repair Disk Permissions."
    Then, doublecheck that the Mail.app version 4.5 is in your Applications folder.
    THEN fire up & install "SecUpd2012-004.dmg."
    Reboot.
    After the reboot, your Mail.app version 4.5 in the Applications folder will have become Mail.app version 4.6 in the Applications folder, and all will be well again.
    And you can dump that zipped-up "Username -> Library -> Mail" folder then, too.
    Happy Mac'in!

  • Why has iCloud mail stopped showing messages in the "Sent" folder?

    Recently I've noticed that any emails I send from iCloud email does not show in the "Sent" mail folder. This, in and of itself is not really a big deal, but I'm curious to know if everything i've sent is being stored somewhere and is accumulting taking up storage space. I try to delete almost everything out of iCloud since I only have the basic storage account. Anyone else experiencing this with iCloud Mail.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Sounds like a limit of your ISP, as it's trying to put it back on the mailserver, which may not accept such a large file.

  • Mail program using Comcast, PowerBook G4 OS X 10.4.1 and Mail 2.1

    There are lots of questions out there but I have yet to find a fix to the problem with Apple's Mail application - is it the 2.1 version? is it the 10.4.1 version? why does it sometimes work and sometimes not? why will it send occasionally and sometimes not? why does the Mail program work fine on the iPhone but not on the laptop? where do I find the answers instead of the questions? Has Apple addressed this?

    The last version of Mail for Tiger is v2.1.3 & there won't be any updates/upgrades.
    You might try the freeware mail app Thunderbird. http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ It's newer than Mail for Tiger.

  • Mail program not working since upgrading to Leopard 10.5.6

    We have loaded the new Leopard system now twice, and both times the Mail program fails to launch from the taskbar, but stays open in the background. The program will not close, and fails to open to even try to check email. It seems other programs are working just fine, but nothing right with Mail. Anyone know if there is a fix to this?
    Thanks,
    lldowney

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    While the other poster's cited article references certain issues with 10.5.6, they are when updating a system that was already on Leopard. If, as it appears, you were Upgrading an earlier version of OSX, such as 10.4.11, then the relevant article is:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
    Where an even earlier OSX than Tiger once generated the Mail folder, two other MessageSorting files will need to be removed, also.
