[QUOTE="slippyjim, post: 1869903, member: 91128"] So in the end I managed to create a Boot USB for El Capitan and reset his password and also ran disk utility from the boot USB, and it said everything was ok.... After much messing around and reinstalling of OSX it seems that Mail was crashing whenever i clicked on certain folders. I presume they weren't mapping to the IMAP server folders correctly, I managed to narrow the errors down to just the rubbish bin so I made that a local folder only. It then also created a link to the IMAP bin and whenever I clicked on that it crashed but the local bin is fine The same email works fine in Mail on his macbook pro running the latest OSX so it seems its a problem with this older version of mail. All working ok now and hes happy, so alls good Cheers [/QUOTE]
