Problem with mail
Help,
I'm working with mail 1.2.5. v552 on my iMac and I can't get it to quit?
I have to force quit to close it down.
And now the whole email program won't open. I have mails that I'm working on open at the bottom of my screen, but I can't see the progam on my screen?
Can anyone help me?

Re: Problem with mail
1. Click the green button on the top left of the mail window to automatically move the window. It will likely fill the screen.
2. Make a backup copy of the Mail folder in Home / Library / Mail.
For the quit issue, I'm not sure. It sounds like you're running OS 10.1.5 or OS 10.2

Re: Problem with mail
I have had the same force quit issue ever since the upgrade to Mail 2 with my G5 iSight iMac (running 10.4.11).
There are several threads about it over at the Apple Discussion forums, but no clear fix. Clearing caches and fixing permissions seems to help, at least for awhile. I haven't been over there lately to see if anyone's figured it out yet.
Sometimes Mail will quit when I ask it to, sometimes it takes a lonnng time, usually it just doesn't, so I force quit it. What is odd, is that sometimes in the force quit window, it says 'not responding', sometimes it doesn't, although the program is clearly in limbo.
Since force quitting appears to have no ill-effect, I don't worry about it. I am hoping the upgrade to Leopard will rectify it.
