Hello, Woe is me. I thought we were doing well with this new system and already I'm experiencing failures with the "Mail" program. Actually, my wife is. This is a problem in itself as I've been the primary proponent of keeping Apple in the family. She is more of a windows user historically. So much to my chagrin after using this for only a day we have this problem. The Mail app decided to just quit of its own accord when my wife tried to see two different emails and the incidences happened 3-4 hours apart. We have not installed any apps and the only thing we did was try the "Classic" mode as I reported in an earlier post. We've used Safari a couple of times to access Yahoo accounts and a couple of other sites - nothing extraordinary. The system asked if we desired to send Apple a bug report - which gave her some trepidation. So, this is not a good OS X start for her. Is there anything I can do to trouble shoot this to find the cause. The machine came with 10.3.2. We have also had the LaCie hard drive hooked up (as mentioned in the previous post.) Thanks for thoughts. With a disappointing :-( at the moment. Dave __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online by April 15th http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html
