Was using Mail fine this morning...quit the app. and now, it won't open.

The icon bounces a few times then...that's it - have to "force quit."

Tried restarting.

Tried Disc utilitity.

Any other clues?

open /Applications/Utilities/Console

then open Mail

tell us if anything new appears in the Console text view...

Add any fonts lately? That was my last fix to this.... remove >3K of fonts from ~/Library/Fonts and Mail & Safari worked again.

Silly designers.

pb 1.25ghz ai, 1.5gb ram purchaswed in april 2004...i am having a similar problem in that neither mail or ichat will open after a hard freeze. no test i have run - software or hardware based - finds anything. console displays the following info:

dyld: /Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Versions/B/Message (file is empty)

anyone have any ideas about this? i'm gonna try copying the libs from a tibook downstairs and using them on my 'book...i'll let you know...
