Bad RAM could cause this, but given your other problems, I suspect it's a simpler cause: your mailbox somehow got corrupt and it's causing Mail.app to freak out on the unexpected data. Unfortunately, unless someone else knows a shortcut for this , until the offending portion of the mailbox is deleted (hopefully a message and not some essential metadata) you probably have no choice but to manually go through each and every one of them. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- MOVIE IDEA: Blazing E-mail Signatures -------------------------------------- -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
