An AppleCare specialist helped me resolve this.


In ~/Library/Mail/V2 is a folder called "Mailboxes."


With Mail quit, I moved the contents of "Mailboxes" to the desktop.

Then it worked again.


I just had to reimport all the mailboxes back into Mail. This took ~10-20min for 13 years worth of emails separated by year and with an "inbox" and "outbox" for each year.


Please let me know if that works for you.

Mild description - 'disappointed' with Mail not 'sending' - dual use Mail and Outlook 2011 is not sensible with 30-40 emails per day


Rest of Mavericks - very good.


Above actions restored SEND function for all four accounts including Exchange and Gmail - very happy.


Now the question => firstly WHY and secondly WHY has it not been fixed in an UPDATE.


Thank you to gobears0181
