this started just yesterday. when i launch Mail.app, it comes up, grabs a few emails, then hangs before it can completely launch.
right now, it's hung on "Erasing deleted mail older than 7 days".
before, it hung up on trying to count unread messages in the Sent folder.
it hangs the entire machine, Force Quit doesn't even work. i have to disconnect the battery (yikes) and restart.
i've tried, to no avail:
- resetting permissions
- running Disk Warrior
so i deleted the preferences. when i launch it now, i get a bunch of "things are locked" messages:
The mailbox "~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Outbox.mbox" is currently locked by "<a ton of garbage characters>". If you open a mailbox that already is in use, you may damage its contents."
<Open Read Only> <Quit> <Open Anyway>
anyone know how to unlock these mailboxes? i'm not at all unafraid of the command line.
