hi,

thread title says it all, Mail doesn't appear to be doing anything really, but it says all my full mailboxes are empty after I click on them in the app.

have just upgraded.

have had one blacked out screen "you must restart your computer bla bla bla" but I think my MLAN drivers caused that...

I've looked at the mailbox files in my Library foilder, and the emails are still there (you can open the mbox in TextEdit), so thinking it's just confused?!!!

will mail likely right itself aftyer conbverting everything ?

Cheers,

Jon

I think this is the same problem that I mentioned in this other thread:

Quitting and re-launching Mail.app fixed the problem.

I can't quit Mail, and don't want to do a force-quit just yet, could it be that Mail is updating everything right now, which is why I can't quit it?

I can connect to my email accounts fine, but when I 'get mail' although activity viewer shows I'm downloading emails, it's not displaying any new messages?

thanks,

Jon

panic over, deleted contents of home>library>mail>bundles (panther.bundle) or someting, and mail is now importing everything ok.

this should surely be taken care of by the OS when upgrading?

Whjy should the OS, and Apple, have to take care of making sure their software works with every third party pluggin that was made ? It is normally the job of people who created these pluggins to make sure they are compatible with the new OS, not the opposite as I think Apple already has enough stuff to manage when it comes to compatibility without doing everyone's work.
