Mail in Mavericks

Has anyone had trouble opening Mail after installing Mavericks?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Man! You're a Genius!!!! Thanks a lot!


I have 5 accounts and I observed disconnecting and connecting accounts again that the problem is with a 1 of those accounts. It blocked Mail again after activating. So, I cancelled and need to create it again.

Works!!!


Thank you!!!!

Worked for me for a while too.

Then went back to its crank ways.. his my local mail for a while.. then was unresponsive.


Now I've got ONLY iCloud mail active and it seems to work (Although very slow)


if I activate other email accounts it eventually stops working again.

It seems I can have one or the other but not both.

My initial enthusiasm about the account de- and reactivation actually waned quickly after I realized that I couldn't have all accounts active without crashing. Now I just discovered a new solution that seems to do the trick for me:


*Delete Smart Mailboxes (e.g. "Today")


It seems Mail reindexes all the thousands of mails that you have in your folder and mail just breaks down if you have several bigger accounts.

After deleting smart mailboxes, Mail now works normal. So far...


Tip for those that haven't upgraded to Mavericks yet: delete the smart folders/mailboxes in Mail before the upgrade, and please report here whether you encountered issues or not.

Didn't have any smart mailboxes unfortunately.


I've got it working with one other email address but I can't use all of them.


The timing was good at least.. I was due to upgrade one of our company's iMacs.

I had to go by a Windows machine since our business needs email.


The other macs wont get the upgrade. If it gets fixed that will be good..

If not.. gulp.. bye bye Apple

Sloppy programming and insufficient testing - thats how they ended up with $13Billion in cash
