[G4] Apple Mail problem

[Daniel Brieck]

Well it is just like os nine when something is not working correctly 
you remove the preferences file from its proper location. So here is 
what you do quit mail. Then go to your (users) Home  directory in the 
finder > then the library folder then preferences > then remove this 
file from that folder (put it on the desktop or move it to the trash) 
com.apple.mail.plist See if this helps. Remember that this file does 
not contain your mailboxes, it contains general stuff about mail.app


Also I recommend going to www.apple.com/support there is some useful 
information there. Look at this
