Computer chrash while rebuilding the Mail database

[krabban]

This happens rarely and we have forgotten what we did to solve it" is the reply from one of the biggest Swedish Mac dealers.

Is there a solution out there somewhere??

The Mail will endup with a couple of new IN-boxes with varous amount of mail in each box.

What exactley is the problem.

What you have here krabban is what my friends like to call a pain in the belt buckle. Its like when a girl goes to the bar and eats all of the food. Which makes her belt buckle dig into her body leaving a nasty red mark. What im really saying is you have too much .ipo in the mail files. I suspect this is causing a "traffic jam" in the system preventing you do anything. The only solution for this is to modify the readcop.bas in the preferences. Its a simple job, but a major pain in the belt buckle. HAHAHA
Change the screen to 800 x 600 and you should be fine.
