I am joining you with the same problem.If anyone of us find the solution post it.

Thanks

cyclistgeorge,

This has happened to me several times since the old post.

What I have found is to do nothing.

I try a few of the obvious things (restarting - etc) but when

I just put the computer down for a day or so, it seems to fix itself.

I pick it up and you would never know there was anything wrong.

So I think it has to be yahoo, not having their act together with mail.

I hope this is something you can do (getting away from it for a day or two, some people can't.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the suggestion,this I have not tried yet but I will.

The little lite under the Mail icon is permenently lit.Could it be that the Mail is somehow stuck and that caouses the problem? Can Mail be force quit?

Hold the curser down on the mail icon on the dock until a menu comes above the icon, move curser to 'quit' and click, wait a second and light will go away. If mail is still working (message going out or in), the light will stay on until finished, then go out.

Yes, mail can be force quit. Apple menu (top left in menu bar) > force quit > select mall and click.

Hope this works for you.

This has worked for me! The Mail somehow was stuck in open and after I have force quit and the little light under the icon went out i was able to get back into mail and it looks like solved the problem.Thanks for all the helpful suggestions...

I had the same problem ! and "Forced quit" worked for me this time ! Thank you so much for this post! I'm new in Mac's world, just discovering.

i have also the same problem. i cannot open mail icon at the dock and even the mail icon at finder. ....i have to go to the main menu, click mailbox then click go to favorite mailbox before i can see the messages...please help

I'm sorry I can't help. You have a newer computer than I, and they are different. I don't have 'go to favorite mailbox' in my mailbox selections.

If you ask these questions in discussions and Google the question, you may get the answer. If not, walk into an Apple Store and they will answer your question in about 5 seconds. They are great.

Make it fun, ever though it is frustrating sometimes.
