Anyone got suggestions about how to start over with Apple Mail? I’m trying to resolve some crashiness issues with it for me—stuff that was making my entire Mac unstable, as I’m discovering now with Mail not running for the last 36 hours or so and all the problems I was having [Launchbar locking up, Camino sometimes locking up, Address Book eating its files completely] seeming to go away now that Mail is in the off position_[1]. That said, here’s what I’ve tried to no full avail:

• rm -rf ~/Library/Mail
• rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Do I have to do more? Yes, I backed up ~/Library/Mail and the .plist before I did this. [I'm not that dumb.]

Suggestions desired. People who tell me to use GMail will get my foot up their ass.

[1] The true test will be this: I’m heading out of town for three days tomorrow, and I will leave Launchbar, iPulse, iTunes, Camino, and Seasonality up and running while I am gone. [Not NetNewsWire, because I imagine that I will read news in the hotel room at night. NNW is the only other program that I have up at pretty much all times, but to sync NNW properly, you best only have one instance of it running at a time.] If I come home with none of those programs in need of a Force Quit, life will be good.
