Why won't my mail app on my iphone5 run

One day I hit mail icon and mail wouldn't come up.......any ideas why or how to fix?

Program flashed and instantly returned me to main screen.  I tried a few things, none of which helped. I have since restored from an old iCloud backup. Must have been some kind of bug. Thanks for your concern

  • Why won't the Mail app message list font change?

    I am on Lion at home and at work. Using the new 3 pane layout in the Mail app. On both machines, when I go to preferences>fonts & colors> I can change all the fonts BUT the message list. No matter what I do it doesn't change. Is this a bug or just a factor of the new layout?

    Sorry about the lack of information.
    Yep, mailbox behaviour is sent to "store sent messages on the server".  This is happening, though, other primary IMAP accounts.  And yes, it's been since Mountain Lion.  Sometimes the messages show under the account, other times they don't.  There is no sense to the randomness of it.  Is there a way to "reset" all of my mail accounts without losing all of my stored mail?

  • Why won't the mail app load my emails?

    I have been problems with my mail app for a while now.  It will not download any new emails from my AOL account.  I have tried deleting the account from the app and resetting it up.  Still no luck.  Can any one help?
    -Thanks

    I told it to "Sync wiht AOL" and checked a little while later and it looks like it worked. My MacBook is now caught up on emails.
    Thanks for the views.

  • Why won't my Mail app. open after updating to 10.4.4?

    I updated my powerbook G4 to 10.4.4. After restarting Apple's Mail application refused to open from my dock. I then tried to launch it by double clicking on the icon in the application folder. It pops up a dialog box which says, "The application Mail quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple." When I click on the 'Reopen' button the dialog box goes away and another one pops up which says, "The application Mail quit unexpectedly after it was opened. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Try Again to temporarily restore the application's default settings and open it again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple." When I click on the 'Try Again' button a new window opens called 'New Account' which 'guides' me through the necessary steps to set up my mail account. When I click 'continue' a new window opens which asks for my user name and also my .Mac account password. Once I enter this info I click on the 'continue' button and it logs into .Mac and gives me an Account Summary so it's acting like everthing is okay until I press the 'continue' button and then I get the same error message as before: "The application Mail quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple."
    I downloaded the freeware program called Preferential Treatment by Jonathan Nathan in hopes it would remove a damaged Mail .plist file. No dice - no problems with Mail prefrence files according to this software. I'm at a loss of what to do next. I read that someone else had a similiar problem - I don't know what to do next. Any help would be really appreciated as I use my Mail program constantly. Thanks! Oh, also when entering this Post and describing my system the OS menu provided does not allow me to select OS 10.4.4. I'm sure that will be udated soon.

    OK THIS IS WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN 30 SECONDS GO TO SETTINGS>ITUNES AND APP STORE AND JUST SIGN OUT THEN OPEN YOUR BELOVED ITUNES APP BLAM! YOU'RE WELCOME!

  • Why won't Apple Mail utilize addresses from Apple Contacts ?

    Why won't Apple Mail utilize addresses from Apple Contacts ?
    Some of the people in my contacts have multiple e-mail addresses.   Using contacts from within Apple Mail I can see these e-mail addresses.  I then select the e-mail address I need to use and it is highlighted in blue.  However, when I drag that e-mail address into the e-mail it uses the first e-mail address on the list and does NOT use the one that is highlighted.
    This worked perfectly with good old Snow Leopard. Why doesn't it work now?  What is the procedure for selecting an e-mail address that is not the first one in contacts ?

    To see if there's a recovery volume installed reboot with the Option key held down and see what volumes are shown that you can book from.  If there is a recovery volume it will be displayed.  The arrow keys can be used to moved to the desired volume and the Enter or Return key to start the boot.
    Yes I did that. I don't no why, but I have no recovery volume.
    However, I do have mavericks on a USB flash drive. I booted from the flash drive and followed your procedure.  This did not fix my Mail problem.
    I notice now that after I drag an e-mail address into the header there is a small down arrow next to the incorrect e-mail address, this allows me to choose from a small group including the correct e-mail.  I'm just wondering, perhaps this Is the way Apple Mail works in Mavericks.

  • I have several questions: 1. When I connect my Iphone using Wi-Fi what can I then do? Why won't my Iphone recognize my home network run off of Airport Extreme, and the app Nike   Ipod sensor never activates.

    I went to Starbucks this morning and my Wi-Fi on my Verizon Iphone connected, what does this allow me to do? My Wi-Fi does not recognize my home network from which I connect wirelessly to my MacBookPro and to my Apple TV using Airport Extreme router, why? Lastly, what do about the app NIke + Ipod not working. The sensor does not activate even after walking a half mile.

    It might be best to ask only one question in each post otherwise you may never be able to mark them as solved.

    It should allow you to access the internet, read mail, etc.
    My Wi-Fi does not recognize my home network from which I connect wirelessly to my MacBookPro and to my Apple TV using Airport Extreme router, why?
    Try restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). It may not be properly assigning an IP address to your iPhone.

  • Why won't apple mail save signatures?

    When I am copying a signature I create in a mail into the Signatures database, It doesn't seem to save as it was built...sometimes it removes/adds carriage returns.  Other times it won't copy the graphics with the text.  Is there a way to make sure it stays as I create or edit it?

    this is not iPad2 or iOS, i selected OSx Mavericks on a Mac Air...not sure why its not categorized correctly

  • TS3899 Why won't ios7 mail open .tiff attachments?

    My iphone mail won't open .tiff file attachments, this is a biggie for me as work constantly uses this format and I need to access it in the go. The old iOS did it no worries and the specs tells me it will open them but as yet no love. 

    Apple has never supported the ability to open multi-page TIFF files on IOS. Check the App store for apps that support this functionality.

  • Why won't Verizon Messages app work on phone with Wi-Fi only?

    I've successfully downloaded and installed the app from Google Play on a phone of mine that I only use wi-fi on.  There is no cellular service to this particular device.  It's set to airplane mode, with wi-fi on, essentially making it a 4.5 inch tablet, or like an android equivalent to an iPod touch.  When I start the app though, it displays the screen shown in the included screenshot, and won't let me connect to the service, despite the fact that a wi-fi connection is present.  I've seen that this is an issue that some others have had.  I have Verizon service with my main phone, I'm not sure why the app that supposedly lets you access your texts via wifi will only do that on tablets or phones with cell service.  Is there any way to get this working? Will there be any updates to allow the functionality that I'm looking for?  I've read that it was present at one time, so why the change?

    According to the Verizon website you are wrong.
    Verizon Messages - Verizon Wireless
    It states "
    Use Wi-Fi to send and receive messages on your smartphone, tablet, PC, Mac and web browser"
    I find personally that you are correct, is the website designed to mislead us? it is the same on the play store for google.
    The difference is not just in one place, it is everywhere it is advertised. So it was meant to work but to charge customers the function was removed is my understanding.

  • Why won't my mail open?

    Why wont my mail open ?
    It been a couple of days that i havent been able to completely shut down my lap top because it say that mail mail does not let me.

    The mail version you want is 4.6 (1085).   Have you applied the Snow Leopard combo update to your current OS?  
    Back up your files; you could do combo update again over the top of your existing OS, then software update to pick up the security updates.
    Then try Mail again.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
