Hi. You could move all the mail box files off somewhere, delete the mail folder in your library, and delete the preference file. When you run mail the next time, you'll be starting from scratch. Once you've configured your mail accounts and what not, you can re-imported those mail boxes you backed up. This probably sounds complicated, but it's likely easier then re- installing the whole OS.

Listers I have a problem in Mail where I can't tab or shift tab between the messages and mailbox areas. I can VO right and left arrow to these sections, but tab doesn't work. I have tried two things that got me to the point where I think I need to reinstall Mail. One is that when I delete the com.apple.mail.plist file and open Mail I can tab and shift tab with no problems with the exception that there's no mail messages or mailboxes. I have also tried this tabbing sequence in another login on my system and all is well, so I know it's just my mail account. What I want to do is delete my current mail account or should I say instance of the Mail app, preserve the mailboxes and messages while correcting the issue of not being able to tab back and forth. What advice can any of you offer to accomplish this?
