This can be a symptom of too many windows open. I also get it occasionally after starting Mail; that interminable beach ball again. (10.3.2, Pismo 400)
Then the only cure I have found is to Force Quit, then restart Mail, but close the windows as they open, as quickly as possible. Then Mail becomes usable again. (You get dialogue boxes asking do you want to 'save as draft' works in progress.
It would be good to have a warning in both Mail and Safari saying "too many windows (or tabs) open - crash imminent"
Good luck,

Subject: OS X Mail problem on Lombard Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
hello and best wishes for this new year to you all!
I run OS 10.2.8 on a Lombard 333, 384 MB RAM and I have an irritating
problem when using OS X Mail: it runs generally ok, but as soon as I hit
one of the menus, the rotating wheel start spinning and I'm stuck for a
time ranging from one to a few good minutes.
Has anyone observed this problem or could give any hints as to what could
cause it? It has been like this since I've installed OS X and I've lived
with it, but I figured I might as well ask...
cheers, gianfranco
