So I spent hours interfacing with Apple support, and I'm still having the same problems. At one point it looked fixed, but that made all my browsers go all fucked. Now the browsers are working, but the mail is back to the same old shit.
- how are mail retrieval problems related to your browsers?monospaced
- I have no idea. It doesn't seem to make any fucking sense. But that is what's happening.boobs

Yeah, they took me through all the new user account stuff. And I threw out a bunch of startup items. And cache items. And a bunch of other stuff.
Eventually I started to cry. I thought I should stop at that point.

monospaced helped with the Adobe Illustrator Java issue, thanks bro!
But I am also having minor issues with the entire OS X Yosemite UI functionality. Everything from trying to "secure empty trash" to strange anomalies with the UI.
Hopefully Apple will fix these issues soon.

Sounds like this goes beyond just an application. Have you tried creating a new user account to test Mail? Recently I was having problems and it turned out to be related to a USB device that was plugged in, so try removing things to find out if the culprit is elsewhere. It could be a 3rd party piece of software (even fonts are known to screw with apps).

Try switching Mail programs. Postbox, linked above, is awesome. Been using it for a couple of years now.

It gets the spinning wheel of death a lot when trying to retrieve emails. Sometimes I can't quit from the program. It gets a little fucked and I have to force quit. Sometimes several days worth of emails with disappear from my folders. Sometimes I can't open a new window to write an email. Sometimes when I open a new window to write an email, 4 or 5 windows will open, but none of them can be typed into.
You're basic buggy annoying shit that you don't want from a weaselly little email program.
