Apple Mail Hangs when changing Preferences

[Spartysam]

This issue has probably when addressed in the past but I am having a problem with it now and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Currently, whenever I try to access Apple Mail (OS X 10.6.4), I get the spinning ball and I find that mail is not responding. Does anyone have any idea of what is going on or how I can reinstall mail?

Thank you in advance.

Delete the mail.plist in your Preferences folder, repair permissions and restart.
