Mail crashing every time.


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

SO I'm having problems with my mail. Every time I open the app, it automatically quits and then gives me an error report window.

I had this after my Mac crashed for 2 times 2 days ago. I had to switch it off though the force shut down button (Power button). I dont seem to understand how it crashed on me TWICE!!! I just had my regular programs running. Nothing out of the extra-ordinary.

I've got 2 Gmails and 1 of my School email ids set up on it.

Anyways, I really need to fix my mail. I tried googling it but didnt really help so I'm here seeking help from u guys. :)

Thanks!

Have you recently added iCal To-Do items? if so, try and delete them and then try to open your mail.

I had this same issue before and that was the solution. Good Luck.

I did have to-do items added already since like 3 months. I also tried to delete my to-dos form my iCal. But still it crashes. :(

Any more help? :(

How about if you hold down SHIFT when you launch mail? Does that let you back into Mail?

Yes it still crashes.

@Giga:

Ill try to delete plist files.

EDIT:::

Yes so it works now! But it also deleted my mail accounts. Will set them up again :)

Thanks for the help guys.

    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
