  Mail.app in Tiger 10.4.1 mailbox/folder problems

  Posted by Adam Faircloth on June 24, 2005 at 10:01 pm

  I’m experiencing a problem with Mail where the contents of certain mailboxes (folders) are not visible. In particular, I have a folder called Received in my Mail application where I store most of my old email. Navigating to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Received.mbox/Messages reveals that all the messages are indeed present. You can click on any .emlx file and an email comes up.

  I’ve been messing around with trying to import the mailbox again and running the rebuild command with no luck.

  Any tips on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

  I think the problem has been fixed.

  The 10.4.1 update to Tiger should have brought Mail.app from version 2.0 to version 2.0.1. For whatever reason, my Mail.app was still at 2.0.

  I downloaded and ran the 10.4.1 standalone installer, which got Mail to the correct version and the messages are now visible again.
