Help! Jaguar Mail program keeps crashing

[Michael Louden]

Hey there!

I'd really appreciate some help with this.

I can open the program. I can send email. But when I try to receive email,
it indicates that it's receiving, and when it gets to about the tenth email,
then in quits "unexpectedly." And it turns out I didn't receive any mail at
all. This has been going on for almost a month, and I can only get my mail
via webmail.

Is there a way to fix this? Can I remove the Mail.App? And if so, how
would I go about restoring it? How could I do so without losing my sent and
received emails?

I'm running Jaguar on a Titanium 500 mhz...

Thanx to anyone who can help me on this!

I don't know if this even applies to the Jaguar Mail app but I've seen
exactly this on Windows machines when people let their deleted mail pile
up without removing it. So, if you haven't already done that, pull down
"Mailbox" and choose "Erase Deleted Messages" and "Rebuild Mailboxes".

The other sloppy habit that leads to grief is keeping everything in your
Inbox. I'd try moving everything in the Inbox to other folders if that
describes you.

BTW, your email is safe in ASCII text files located in
~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes. You can copy them elsewhere but that probably
isn't even necessary.
