Hi All,

I have a June 2010 17" 2.66 i7 UMBP. Today, for some strange reason, Apple mail has gone nuts. I have some gmail (POP) & AOL (imap) accounts. (I do not know what POP or imap means but that is what I see under each account in mail preferences!)

The gmail accounts show up black but the AOL ones are greyed out. All accounts have a triangle with an exclamation mark inside. I have tried restarting a few times & tried to take accounts online all at once & individually numerous times but to no avail. The CPU usage is constantly around 130C & after a while the temperatures really shoot up - the only way to stop the high CPU/Temps is to quit mail & restart but the same things keeps happening over & over again.

I do not know what's going on & would really appreciate any help to sort this out as I largely rely on email to communicate - Please Help!

Suave!
