Lately it's been crashing non stop. Anyone else have these issues and know of a way to fix it?
Or an alternative email app.
Thanks,

crashing how? mine likes to continuously ask me for my freaking password...

It just quits and then when I go to restart it, it has to index all of the past emails again. Sometimes that process will take about 20 mins and slow the whole system down.

I have not had this problem. I almost said never. WOW!
Watch now my freaking email will crash.
Have you tried rebuilding your database?

Repair Permissions? How?
Hey Devaur,
The thing is a piece of shit. Its starting to crash more frequently. Today alone it's been about 6 times.
Rebuild Database? How?

are you on a network? or multiple users?
i think it has to do something with permissions indeed.
where is the library for it stored??
i think it must have to do with the fact that it has trouble accessing/indexing it.
don't know much more about it though. sorry. :/

happened to me when i switched hosting. have you tried setting up a new account?
- rasko40
use your disk utility in utilities or get something like system optimizer X from vtracker
- tparsons0
nope no new account...
Thanks rasko, I'll try it out.

any event or idea what brought it on? please say you haven't been toying any system files!
despite lacking a few features i find Mail to be extremely solid. you could use Eudora instead, but its kinda nice keeping all those core OSX apps working together.

Theres always Entourage or Thunderbird...
but Mail isnt bad... Would definitely recommend using IMAP instead of POP...makes troubleshooting easier too as you can just delete everything, reinstall, then resynch with the IMAP server to recover all your mail archives...

my dual g5 just croaked last week, so bad that I had to drop it off at apple to be fixed..
convinced it's either hardware or bad OS update
