I've got to do something now. My Mail application is suddenly giving me many long-term spinning wheels, especially when I am in a certain mailbox which has most of my digests (about 3500 to be exact). I have already tried to rebuild the offending mailbox, but that does not seem to fix the issue. Should I throw out preferences? If so, how do I do that? If that doesn't work, should I reinstall Mail? If so, how do I do that? And if not, what next? Thanks. -- David R. Boag, DDS spikedds at bellsouth.net Dental Design of Kedron, LLC
