Ok everything was fine.. I transfered everything over from my Powerbook G4 12" and then made sure it all worked. Good to go.

Then I started up syncing again with my .Mac account. Now when ever I open mail it just quits.

I am lost. I tried reinstalling the http mail program I use to stay on my MSN mail.

I have a pop mail, msn and .mac... I can not get in to change settings nothing.

I reset everything with Onyx just because it was easy and I hoped it would clear the problem but its still doing it. Every time I have to force quit after it tells me it crashed....

Whats going on anyone have any idea's?

I changed the names from Powerbook G4 12" (They both said that) to different names for the systems.

I also reset all the data on the .Mac Sync and started over I believe... but still its not working.....

I really need to be able to check my mail and I hate webmail and one account has no webmail access so I am really in a bind.

Thanks guys!

Ok you are not making much sense. You need to start over and make sure you're telling us all the details. Which computer to which computer? wha??

I solved it I deleted the Pref for mail in the lib/pref folder and redid the two extra accounts. Mail is now fine and I will just not turn syncing on for it again

But since I am not sure how it is unclear I will do a bullet for you
  1. Owned a Powerbook G4 which was traded for an iMac and iBook
  2. all information was migrated (Using the migration assistant) to both systems from the powerbook
  3. everything worked fine until I turned on mail sync
  4. both mail apps would refuse to work, as soon as they opened they froze and had to be force quit
  5. the mail apple page has a website on this issue and the fix is to delete the ~/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.mail* file

Hope that helps anyone else who may need it
