Hi Adam, Adam, is your User Account name 'admin'? This has been worrying me all week-end, to me it doesn't look right ;-) Normally it is similar to my User Account i.e: /Users/ronni/Library/Mail/Mac-ronni/
If my original suggestion has not solved your problem, you could try using the rm command in Terminal to delete the file. rm /Users/admin/Library/Mail/Mac-adam.lippiatt/.mboxCache.plist Are you experiencing other problems? You mentioned >>> I have been having a few permissions problems after a hard drive corrupted >>> and was replaced. If so we need more details to be able to help. How did you transfer the Data from the corrupted drive & are you running OS X 10.6.3? Cheers, Ronni On 16/05/2010, at 6:27 PM, Adam Lippiatt wrote: > Thanks a lot for this Ronda.
