Mail upgrade crashes in Mountain Lion

Thanks registerednerd! This solved the problem that's been bugging me for the last couple of days. Much appreciated!

I had to restore to Lion from my time-machine backup. As I said I deleted the the V2 folder in the Library and even my preferances for mail was crashing. This and the dylib bug were reasons enough to downgrade again. Well I guess I have to wait at least for the frist update.

same problem here too.8gb memory 2.4ghz intel core duo 13 inch macbook late 2010.any one found any solution yet.Need to access my mail for a delivery tomorrow.

I've had the same problem and it looks like this might do the trick. I got past the upgrading your mail database window and it's now actively 'importing mailbox "Recovered Messages (Yahoo)" albeit extremely slowly - says 5 hrs remaining for 707 messages (and I disabled Yahoo and Gmail to hopefully speed things up) so these must be messages that were already in Mail before it crashed. Think I'll wait and see how this goes as it's counting each message as it's recovered so at least I can witness progress. Now on to trying to fix iWorks. Thanks! I'll report back if this solved my mail problem later.

Ok, this worked but had to repeat it (and delete about 8 envelopes) after I deleted all of my Yahoo mailboxes. Upgraded in seconds! Thanks, wish I could figure out how to indicate this solved the problem but don't see that option. Awesome! Now I'll go back into Mail is System Preferences and turn Yahoo and Gmail back on.🙂🙂➕

registerednderd's solution worked for me! See most post for more details.

Thanks registerednderdthat solved it for me.

THANK YOU! That got it going. Much appreciated!

THANK YOU! Wish this solution had been listed at the top of the page! It fixed my Mail problem like a charm.

Nothing worked for me ...BUUUUGGG ! My crash dump says lock on addressbook?

Tried all the fixes here to no avail. Apple mail crashes on launch since upgrade.

I can get MS outlook to work.

But Apple mail does not work.

Also under the Apple "SOFTWARE UPDATE" goes to appstore.

"APPSTORE" goes to appstore. Does Software update take you to App Store?

I have no mail icloud account... so not sure how I'm supposed to do this. I tried creating a new one and it failed.

Bingo, registerednderd that solution seems to have worked! THANK YOU.

"Does Software update take you to App Store?"

Apparently it does now. I just assumed that was a new feature of ML. I have had app store on here for a while and never used it but today after upgrading to ML that's what it did when I tried to check for any software updates.

thank's, it's worked for me!

bravo

Woowwww my mail is working!! Thanks🙂
