Try trashing the preferences.

all preferences?

There's just one. In your Library/Preferences folder. (Don't delete the Library/Mail folder!)

Just drag the preference file to your desktop, then launch Mail. You can always put the file back if that wasn't the problem.

If so, rebuilding it might be the solution. Check the doc for instructions.
