Experiencing this issue - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537 - on two different (new) MacBook pros, Mac OS X 10.9.1. Must force quit and restart. Anyone else?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
I am also having this problem this morning. Macbook Pro; OS X 10.9.1. Can't restart.
Me too. WTH?
Can you get a new Viewer Window by going to Mail/File/New Viewer Window?
Thank you very much that solved my problem
Hi, newbie here. I have just upgraded to mavericks on my imac 10.9.2. At first mail opened and i changed the layout view to classic. i think i then made it full screen, then x'ed it off. Now i just can't view mail? the little light is on under the mail logo in the dock and i can see that i have new mail waiting by the little red circle with the number in. When i click on mail the top bar changes to mail but that is all. i did get to view it a coulpe of times by the method described by Eric above, but now that does not work either. i can not quit mail either? Feeling frustrated.
I have update to Yosemite and have exactly the same issue as SallyBee. No menu item is available, they are like disabled.
Any idea?
Same here. Apple - Help!!!
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
Resolved this in the end. Deleted the Mail folder in the library and forced the Mac to rebuild the 'Mail' folder.
Do you mean the whole folder with content? How did you keep your messages? I use imap bu tit does not seem to keep all mail form all of my email addresses. I had this problem on outlook, lost years of mail trying to rebuild the plist, so moved to mail and now have it on mail... I am loathe to delete the mail folder. I can see mail if I use classic view but not preview mode with split windows. But classic mode is too slow with out any preview of the message.
All my mail is imap but obvs there will be mail on your local drive.
I moved the folder to the desktop, which essentially forced Mail to rebuild the mail folder, I then had to add all the email accounts back in and let IMAP do its thing. After that I ditched the old Mail folder. Make sure your mail is IMAP though, it is better and safer longer term.
Mail Viewer not visible, Mail can't be quit - OS X 10.9.1
