May I ask that you expound a bit on the unique characters that will(and have) crash/ed Mail application? Strangely enough over the last few weeks, I've lost 4 Inboxes to corruption during Mail's downloading processes and very immediate crashes, to where I've had to toss the .mbox each time and lose all those unread/unanswered mails, after going in thru the webmail portal to see which it was that was the culpret, yet couldn't find which one it was(what would I look for?), so I had to trash all that were still left on the POP server(I normally leave them on there for a month). Thanx in advance for your time and kind considerations. Respectful of GURUs Bill Cornett cornettATgolDOTcom iMac400DV/OSX.3.9/Mailv1.3.11 /
