I'm trying to fix mail.
It's having trouble fetching new mail. When i look at the activity viewer, the progress bar just seems to hang up. If i click on the stop buttons, the progress bar fades out. Then I can't do anything , so I have to force quit mail.
There don't seem to be any issues send mail just recieveing.
The macbook pro is running Leopard 10.5.8
The total file size for the mail folder is 28.2 gb
There are 45,000+ mails and 12,000 unread mails.
One thought i had would be that mail would be full, given the size of the mail folder, and that the issue could be mail is struggling to write incoming emails to it's database.
Does Mail have a maximum total capacity for the number of emails it can hold?
Other than that i'm stuck.
I thought rebuilding the mailboxes could help but it doesn't appear to be doing anything.
Any help would be great thanks!!!!!
Is there anything really obvious i need to do?
Thanks
