Re: Mail quitting unexpectedly

[Julie Bedford]

> Hi Philippe,

Yes, exactly what I have to do.  I would mention, I also have an iMac running 
on Mojave and do not have this problem.  Very odd.

Probably nothing to do with it, but the problematic Mac uses POP email, whereas 
the iMac uses iMAP.

Cheers
Jewels

Mail quitting unexpectedly

[Philippe Chaperon]

Good morning dear WAMUG’gers, 

I have been having two problems with my, otherwise, trusty iMac and am hoping 
someone would have a suggestion for me.

Computer is: iMac 27” (mid 2010), MacOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra), 20GB RAM

1. Mail application V11.5 (3445.9.6) would ‘quit unexpectedly’ whenever I try 
to copy part of a text on an email. Hence, if I highlight text and as soon as I 
do a ‘right-click’ Mail would quit. It would also quit unexpectedly (boy! do I 
love that expression) if I try to delete an attachment which I had incorrectly 
included, this problem is a random one. 

Not sure if this is relevant, but I notice that when Mail is launching  it 
somehow takes over the whole  computer, that is other applications do have 
problems to work as they should. Once Mail is launched, there is no further 
problem. Is that a sign of some deeper problems? 

2. The ‘copy & paste’ feature seems to be broken on my system. I am not able to 
always copy URLs from Safari or Firefox and paste anywhere else. I used to be 
able to copy a URL and paste it in an email, but that does not work regularly. 
The process of 'copy and paste’ has become a hit-and-miss one.
I did look up for solutions on the Web and one of which was to delete a 
specific process listed in Activity Monitor, can’t remember the name of that 
process, but this did not work. 

If someone can suggest a solution this will be great. I am desperately trying 
not to use Outlook, which currently is my ‘Plan B’ solution!!

Many thanks & Best Regards,


Philippe Chaperon

Re: Mail quitting unexpectedly

Thank you Jewels, in fact only last night I got the same problem and had to 
send my attachments in different emails! In desperation I have just installed 
Outlook and will give it a try, reluctantly, and if it behaves then so be it!

Many thanks again, 
 Cheers,

Re: Mail quitting unexpectedly

[Julie Bedford]

Hi Phillippe

Can’t help you, but thought I would mention that my Mac O/S Catalina - mail 
often quits on me if for instance I am forwarding an email with a number of 
attachments.  I have to make fresh emails and only attach say two attachments 
in order to prevent mail from quitting.

Mail quitting unexpectedly

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks,

Has anyone else had this problem ?

Since installing OSX 10.1.2 MAIL keeps quitting unexpectedly whilst in 
use. It has become very frustrating and happens every couple of minutes 
on average ... sometimes 2 or 3 times in a minute.


In frustration I downloaded the Eudora for OSX Beta to avoid this 
happening and BLOW ME DOWN  the same thing happens with that also !!


So something in OSX has obviously changed ... I just need to know if it 
is common problem or exclusive to me. What would happen if I 
downloaded  installed 10.1.2 a second time ?


PS: I never got rid of the problem of missing embedded images in my 
email. That also happens in both MAIL and Eudora Beta, since upgraded 
from OS 9.1 to 10.1.


Regards,
Stephen Chape
