Lion 10.7.2 Mac Mail Crashes

[TMingo]

I have just upgraded to Lion and am having issues with Mac Mail:

Frequent crashes - When trying to create a new mailbox or move a mailbox to another folder, Mail shuts down.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Have you uncovered a fix?

Thanks.

I had Mac Mail crashes soon after I upgraded to Lion, and I thought that Apple would become aware of the problem and solve it, but this evening Mail crashed again, and I'm on v10.7.2, so it's disappointing. Mine crashes when I'm writing an email. I'm typing away and suddenly the beach ball appears, and I have to Force Quit Mail. I'm on Google Mail, and most of what I've typed is saved there as a draft, but I struggle to get it back into Edit mode, so that I can to on writing my email in my browser.

The only reason I use Mac Mail is for the integrated Inbox, otherwise I'm as happy or happier in my browser or using Mailplane.

G'day and welcome to the forums.

Just wonder what type of machines you are using as posts do not say. MacBooks and MacBook Pros seem to have had a number of problems with the upgrade. Have you tried a clean install backing up your information to an external drive first? You can downed another copy of Lion f.o.c. by going into the App Store, hold down Option and click Purchases and select the Lion icon and away you go.

This time burn a bootable copy of Lion to a USB thumb drive prior to running installer. Boot from the thumb drive, format the hard drive and proceed with the clean install. Miugration Assistant in Utilities will transfer all your settings, applications etc. across from the external drive.
