Exception error in mail app. Now mail will open but clicking on an email causes an exception in com. Apple.*.* It is a thread error relative to color.
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
The simplest thing to try is Mailbox > Rebuild from Mail's menu while you are in the affected mailbox.
If it doesn't help, you haven't lost anything.
Talked to apple support and we deteled the preferences file for mail. To do this you must:
Click on the Go Menu,
Press the option key.
Click on Library
open containers
trash com.apple.mail.
Restart computer
the computer recreates the folder when you open mail again.
NOTE: This fixed my issue & you do not need to restart your computer, simply quiting Mail and Reopening will rebuild the folder structure. I would also advise not trashing com.apple.mail. in case you want to reuse it, I simply moved it to the desktop and then moved it back into Library/containers.
I had issues as well. Not as fatal as many of the reported so I did not want to rebuild and reinstall everything, we're talking lots of signatures for many companies etc. I simply followed the instructions above to remove the folder and quickly found that I lost all my mail boxes and signatures. Luckily I never trashed the original, so I just moved it back in and for some reason this fixed my issue.
Just to be clear, my issue was not being able to place my cursor in the text field of the body and edit the text I was looking at. The cursor would be 5+ characters off. Very hard to explain the issue, but if you are seeing something similar this explanation will make sense.
I was having a problem where my emails were not display correctly (the encoding was incorrectly set) and I was getting a bunch of 'A' with a square around it instead of the text. This only happened with some messages. Some messages were OK when I first read them and later on they were unreadable.
Moving this directory also fixed my problem.
Maverick upgraded corrupt email app how do I repair mail app?
