Oh yeah. You wouldn't believe what I've tried! I usually pride myself on being a good Mac tech but this has me baffled. I've done everything but a software restore trying to fix this Mail problem and NOTHING works! I thought I had it a couple times as it would work for a few times. But then it would go right back to not working. Same error, same message, same problem. So I finally gave up for now. I just don't want to go through the major hassle of a reinstall. Because if I did that, I'd wipe the drive and everything! brett >I trust you have tried the usual: > >1. restart computer >1b. trash mail preferences, .mac prefs & restart (first make note of >all settings...) >2. repair file permissions & restart >3. clean font caches & restart >4. archive and install > >I had the same issue a while back, I am sure it was with in 10.3 - >10.4.
