I am using Mail 2.1.3 on 10.4.11 installed on a G5. Something became
corrupted and Mail would crash moments after opening. I could not
even try and run Rebuild Mailboxes.
I tried everything I could think of. Ran disk utility, ran everything
in OnyX, booted in Safe Mode, removed Plist. Heck, I got so desperate
I even repaired permissions. Nothing helped.
Having to get Mail up and running, I copied my existing mail folder
from Users/me/Library/mail to another disk and started Mail fresh. I
tried importing the mail from the previous folder and it would crash
upon opening after import.
The main error message I see in crash log is:
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x8a7ad83d
Which googling implies bad ram. No new ram installed in months, no
other apps crashing.
What I am looking to do is get my old mail back and into Mail. I have
tried dragging individual messages ( 1070409.emlx ) onto Mail, but
that doesn't work. I can double lick an .emlx and it opens in mail,
but I can't search them and I have thousands of messages I am trying
to recover, so opening each, then forwarding it to me is not a real
option.
Thanks for any help,
Len Gerstel
