hi all,

was wondering if any off you got problems recently with your Mail app...
I know "my doom" is written for PCs but I have some problems (like I can not delete an email) since I "mydoom" has done his job out there...

That's very odd. I think you're merely suffering from a coincidence as MyDoom can do nothing to a mac. My first recommendation would be to repair permissions and see if you can then delete the offending message.

I will give you my firstborn son if mydoom broke your Mail.app.

To repair permissions: Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Click on your hard disk on the left. It should be obvious from there.

Do a search here to learn more about permissions.
