[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1180024, member: 190607"] Are you actually getting a kernel panic (with a screen in multiple languages that says that you have to restart) or just an unexpected quit? I've known Mail to unexpectedly (and repeatedly) quit due to a corrupted e-mail on your ISP's server. The solution is to access your e-mail account via your ISP's Web interface and delete the offending message, which is usually spam. You can get a kernel panic from an outdated Mail add-on. Are you using anything like one of these?: [url]http://www.hawkwings.net/plugins.htm[/url] You might want to try deleting the Mail application and reinstalling it from your original OS X installer disk. I don't remember if the disk allows you to re-install just Mail. If it does not, you will need this, which will allow you to do so: Pacifist [url=http://www.charlessoft.com/]CharlesSoft - software you always wished someone would write[/url] ___________________________________________ Randy B.
