my email is open, but no window shows? I get the email but cannot open the window to see?

My mail app is open. I get an email, but I can't open the window to see. I restarted my computer and right clicking on the icon to open a new window. What can I do to get the window to open it? I can see my mail on other devices or online.

Please stop Mail. Force quit if necessary.

Back up all data before proceeding.

If you use OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan") or version later, triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

~/Library/Mail/V3/MailData

If you use an older version of Mac OS X, use this line:

~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData

Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

Go ▹ go to folder

in the menu bar. Paste in the box that opens by pressing Command + V, then press return.

A file window opens. In it he must be files with names as follows:

Index of the envelope

ExternalUpdates.storedata

Move these files to the desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder can have names more long that begin as above. Move these files, if any, in the trash.

Mail recovery. It should invite you to re - import your messages. You can get a warning that the index is corrupted and that Mail must quit smoking. Click OK. Generally speaking, the process takes a few minutes, but this can take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In this case, you will be able to speed things up temporarily by adding your file to the list of personal information protection in the Spotlight preferences pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.

If the import operation stalls or fails with an error message, quit Mail, delete the two new index files (maintenance of the original that you moved to the desktop) and try again. According to several reports, the second attempt can succeed if one does not.

Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files that you moved to the desktop. If not, post your results.

    System Restore will not help, and the browser you use is irrelevant.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox if you can and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Compact all folders as described below.

    To avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

  • When I receive attachments in my email address, they are stored successfully, but cannot be opened

    original title: storage and open attachments

    When I receive attachments in my email address, they are stored successfully, but cannot be opened.  Particularly frustrating with photos.  I get a message that the file is not supported or I don't have the last update for Windows Photo Gallery.  My computer is set to automatically download the updates, and it seems to work very well.

    The file extension is JPG

    Jpg is to be opened by the Windows Photo Gallery (or Gallery Windows Loive if you use Windows Live Mail).

    Please follow this:
    Click the Start button > click default programs > click on set default programs > (wait) > click Windows Photo Gallery. He said "this program has all its defaults"?
    If Yes, close the window.
    If not, click Choose defaults for this program. Put a check mark on any entries in the list WAS the box in front of jpg. > click on save when finished.

    Now, try to open your photos. It opens now?

    PS how store you the attachments? What method?

  • I can't get the STOP button to appear in the Navigation bar, even after going through the suggestions; It will appear when the Restore Default Set window is open, but disappears as soon as a click on

    The X to STOP loading the page does not appear in the Navigation toolbar. If I right-click, select Customize, restore the default value, it is displayed; Click done and it disappears. I disabled the theme; disabled all extensions; reset the toolbar and commands; disabled acceleration. No luck.

    From Firefox 4, the Go, the buttons Stop and reload are combined into a single button at the right end of the toolbar URL or address. The button changes depending on the type of activity:

    • green arrow GB when you type in the address bar
    • Red Stop ("X") button while the page is loading
    • Reload (circular arrow) to gray when the page is finished loading.

    There are separate buttons:

    1. Open the Customize the toolbar by clicking the Firefox button > Option > toolbars OR by clicking View > toolbars > customize if using the menu OR bar right click in an empty space on a toolbar and select Customize
    2. Stop and Reload buttons will show separate from the address bar and the search bar
    3. Drag the buttons anywhere on the Navigation toolbar
      • order Reload-Stop will bring together into a single button
      • order Stop-Reload will remain in separate keys
      • or drag a "separator" in the window customize between Reload-Stop and that they remain separated
    4. Click done at the bottom right of the window customize to finish

  • Version 5.0 on a MAC doesn't let me switch between tabs. Can I open a new tab, but when I try to go in a different tab, it shows me just the content of the tab opened most recently. Help!

    Version 5.0 on a MAC doesn't let me switch between tabs. Can I open a new tab, but when I try to go in a different tab, it shows me just the content of the tab opened most recently. Help!

    In addition, pop up blocker works for a while and then stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to make it work again. Help!

    I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was last updated to Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but it did not help and I had the same problem.

    Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called tile tabs 4.10 I thought could easily create this problem. I went in my Add-ons Manager and disabled, restarted Firefox and tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the extension of the tile tabs is my favorite Firefox Add-on and I use it almost every day to manage my web tasks. I went to the page Add on for tile tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 did not work properly on Mac OS and install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw that they had a new is not-yet-seen version 4.11 who has tackled the problem of Mac OS, installed, and everything seems to work properly.

    I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem as I don't had not updated Firefox or the extension of the tile tabs recently. Also, obviously this could not solve your problem, especially if you have the module installed and active. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it seems based on your post time, so its probably not a coincidence.

    But its worth a quick glance and you can check other extensions if you don't have the legs of tile that might be the cause of the problem.

    Firefox 3.6.6 came out on 26/06/2010 to solve problems that some were plagued with the new crash protection feature introduced in Firefox 3.6.4. NOTE: Version 3.6.5 has been used for another product, so there is a "jump" in the version numbers.

    You need to update to the latest version, Firefox 3.6.6.
