When I'm logged in as anything other than root, Mail.app crashes just a couple seconds after I launch it. Here is my console message:

2002-10-20 22:02:42.098 Mail[568] ABAddressBook could not aquireLock: writeLock error Permission denied: 'Framework/AddressBook/ABAddressBook.m' line: 1396
2002-10-20 22:02:42.098 Mail[568] -[ABAddressBook _initDefaultContactManager] Can't _acquireLock Framework/AddressBook/ABAddressBook.m:1403

It was working fine. The only changes I've made to my system involve Apache, so I don't think it's that. And, like I said, root has no problems. But I don't want to go changing permissions on things that I don't understand. By the way, I have a directory called "Frameworks", but not "Framework" as is listed above. Can anyone help? Thanks.
