Q: Can't Send Email from Mail, Safari Crashes When Sending Gmail and Yahoo Mail

Hi all,

I am on OS X 10.6.8

I can't send emails through Mail (version 10.3). When I type in the message body area of mail to send an item, there is a beep each time I start to type a new word.

The mail does not send of course.

 

When I try to send an email from Yahoo Mail, Safari crashes. When I try to send an email from gmail, Safari crashes.

 

I can still receive emails in Mac Mail, Yahoo Mail, and gmail.

This problem is just with the administrator account. Another account on the same computer sends emails without a problem from both gmail and yahoo.

 

 

I already tried all of the solutions in the following link:

If you can’t send or receive email on your Mac - Apple Support

 

Any advice? Do I have to do a full reinstall?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

    Do a backup.

     

    Quit Mail.

     

    Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.

     

    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 

     

    If that doesn’t solve it repeat the above using Caches/com.apple.Mail/caches.db.
