I can confirm that using this method will fix the in game mail on the Mac client. I copied the EVEMail directory from my Crossover Games install into the Preferences folder for the Mac client, launched the Mac client, and my mail has returned.
Thanks Arlina, you rock! _____________________________ http://twitter.com/krispy_dingo http://krispydingo.com |

So how would this work if you don't have access to crossover games or w/e?

Crossover Games is just a more polished wrapper for wine. I know there are posts here for installing the Winders client through winebottler, which you can download here:

What I am saying is, how can I copy something if I don't have an alternate install? I am not really waiting to download the windows client and installing it with some other wrapper stuff just to copy one folder.
That said, I think it is bullcrap that we'd have to find a solution like this ourselves (or, they have to find it themselves, seeing I didn't help at all :P), while CCP chooses to ignore us. No updates at all makes me sad panda :(

I've been holding off posting in here, as I thought this would have been fixed by now. This is slightly ******ed, and unfair to us. Asides from the crashing I have to put up with, I now have to put up with having to go the long way round to see my mail. As has been said above, we've just been left to fix this ourselves. No intervention from CCP to even bother to fix it, from what I've seen/heard.
But hey, what gives us the right to have a working client?

It's gettin really ridiculous now, no updates, no CCP workaround, no fix, nothing. We're second class citizens for wanting to use the OS of our choice? If they are not willing to maintain the Mac version, why not just cancel it? This is going the same route as the bugs that should've been fixed in Tyranis, but weren't. 'We have fixes but you're not getting them! HAH!'
Nice customer service...

I'd be willing to bet that these are not crossplatform problems ( thats why there hasn't been a fix yet ). The reason we haven't heard anything yet is probably because CCP is sitting there twiddling their thumbs waiting to hear from Transgaming. Don't hold your breath!

Hi. I am running into the same problem on my spanking new Powerbook. After I tried the trial offer I thought I would play eve as it seemed the best MMORPG for my lifestyle. I really have an unpredictable schedule as I am the primary care giver for my mother. The thought of training while offline appealed to me. So I got the box version and everything. But I have to say that this is pretty much a deal braker for me. Shame really.
I worked in the software field for about six years but got a Mac as I really don't want to have to be my own system ops (as I am for my MS crapola machines), and my degree is in statistics so I don't think I am that much of an idiot. I have neither the time nor inclination to invest in WINE, rappers, or whatever. The company I worked for did a half assed job for Mac ports of their products so I guess this just brings up bad memories.
I am sure I am just echoing previous posts, I suppose I am venting now, but IMHO if a development company isn't going to support MAC fully, why bother? CCP should just say they couldn't care less, for monetary reasons or some other valid excuse. I am sure most of us know how to install Windows on bootcamp. We could have done the install on there if we were not deluded by CCP. And the mail client is the least of the problems. EVE is one of the few programs that manages to lock up my system completely on a good crash.

I hope someone from CCP reads this:
I have the mail problem described. I've been reading mail with eveGate. Okay, it works, mostly. But some messages won't display in eveGate ù I get a message that they're corrupted somehow, and the only thing I can do with them is delete them.
I'm not gonna jump on the "CCP sucks" bandwagon, but regular updates as to progress (or even lack of progress) will at least let us know you're trying.

Mine just started doing this today (Mac OS 10.6). Here's hoping CCP can come up with a fix that doesn't require downloading the whole Windows client and running it in Wine before too long. |

Originally by: Blasphemour how can I copy something if I don't have an alternate install?
This is where CCP yet again failed at providing excellent customer support.
EveMail folder is located here:
~/Library/Preferences/EVE Online Preferences/p_drive/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility/cache/EveMail
Inside there's just two empty files per characters with bugged mailfolders instead of four. If you create a character it seems to default to "bugged mail":
== snip == Apple:EveMail adam$ ls -al mail* -rw-r--r-- 1 adam admin 34646 Jul 15 00:20 mailbodies_1122334455.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 adam admin 102 Jul 15 00:20 mailbodies_1122334455.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 adam admin 394811 Jul 15 00:20 mailheaders_1122334455.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 adam admin 43 Jul 15 00:20 mailheaders_1122334455.dir
-rw-r--r-- 1 adam admin 0 Jul 16 13:40 mailheaders_1100660066.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 adam admin 0 Jul 20 11:55 mailheaders_1100660066.dir == snip ==
*1100660066* is bugged - two files, zero length. *1122334455* is a working set from another character, four files
It seems to be possible to copy a working set of _any_ character (4 files) into place of the bugged characters files to get mail started again? Make sure you're using the right numbers for your character.
If you got no char with a working mail files set:
As CCP is failing to provide a dummy file set - try asking a friend?

This solution worked like a charm for me. It's a shame that the players have to determine the fix for things like this. At the very least a Dev could acknowledge this as being a fix and sticky it. Or something at least! But to give no feedback and leave the players in the dark is crap.

At least I managed to find a working set of files from ~/Library/Preferences/EVE Online Preferences/p_drive/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility/cache_backup0/EveMail - seems to be automatically generated backup directory of some sort. So worth checking, if you are running into this bug.

Doesn't work for me.
And as to asking a friend, why should I bother? I already reinstalled my client, which made it work for like 2 days, who's to say copying some other guys files in there will keep it working indefinitely?
Indeed, this is a dirty workaround, not a fix.

Edited by: Rainor Drawyer on 21/07/2010 09:18:32 I don't know why don't using EVE GATE (incl. accessing it from the inside eve browser without any problems) but diggin' in the client's viscerals where you guys have no clue about. CCP is knowing of this problem and working on it. Just don't get it.

Two unread mails in my inbox. Log into EVE-Gate and ...
Mail 1:
Quote: Message body removed by EVE Gate because it may have contained some malicious HTML.
Mail 2:
Quote: Sorry, an error has occurred while processing your request.
In my case, EVE-Gate is not a solution, by any means.

1: EVE gate is not the solution, it's a work around 2: You can't access notifications from EVE gate, which doesn't always work in-game as well 3: Nobody is digging into the client, they are playing with cache files 4: CCP knows about the problem for a while now and has given us how many updates on a solution schedule? exactly..

I have this issue also on 2 of my 3 characters. What is the fix? tired clearing cache no help.... (I believe my mail cache was corrupted when deleting emails but clicking in the mail pane, selecting all with command-A, and hitting delete.)

I've also just been hit by this problem after having been offline during vacation. I thought it could have something to do with the sheer size of my stack of unread mail... but see the issue is much more grave. CCP: Please put some pressure on your mac-subcontractors. This is a pretty critical issue for a communication intensive game such as EVE. EVE-Gate is a Work Around wich reduces the impact from nber-critical to painful, but in-game mail and notifications MUST be fixed.
