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?
