THERE’S A PROBLEM WITH MY MAIL PROGRAM. WHENEVER I WRITE TO SOMEONE IT CRASHES ON ME. I REALLY DO HOPE THAT YOU GUYS WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM (ASAP.) IT’S HAS BEEN DOING THIS BACK IN MAC OS-X (10.4.3) TOO AS WELL, BUT I’D THOUGHT THAT I’VE FIXED IT AT ONE POINT IN TIME, BUT EVER SINCE

THANKS: STEPHEN RAY SNELL

Hi Stephen.
That must be very annoying. The things is, Hawk Wings isn’t really a tech support forum. You might have more luck finding a fix to whatever is causing your problem on Apple’s Mail Discussion Board.
There a lots of very clever people there who know how to fix just about everything that can go wrong with Apple Mail.
This site is really about making Mail.app fly with add-ons and plug-ins when it is already working well.
Let me know how you get on in Apple’s forum.
