How old is the laptop? Try reinstalling the Mail application, which you may find somewhere online.. If nothing else works, take it to your local Apple store or any other Mac Seller/Re-Seller..

Laptop is 9 month old. Still under warranty but would like to fix this without having to go to reseller. I am going to put in boot up disc tonight and do hardware test to make sure everything is fine. Any other suggestions

Thanks

That's probably one of the best things you could do.. I don't have any other suggestions besides pray that everything works out fine!!

Tried verifying and resetting the disk permissions?

Did a memory test, everything was okay

Did a disk verification and came back okay?

Any other suggestions

If everything as far as hardware goes ends up fine, back up your computers essential files (no preference files or Apple apps). Then reinstall OS X. If that fixes it, you just saved yourself a trip to the Apple store. If something is wrong with the hardware, it may fail, so do a full hardware test first (And make sure it is plugged in). I had a defective mac shut down during an OS Install, and I was stuck booting from the Install DVD, but not being able to install the OS and not having a real OS to boot into. Then, put all your files back, update, then set everything back up. It will be nice and clean too, because you wont have old preference files mucking up your hard drive. If you still have this problem after a reinstall, your computer has a problem that is not a software problem. All the Apple people will tell you to do for a software problem is to do what I just suggested.

Hardware test came back fine.

If i need to reinstall, will i have to reinstall all my other programs,(photoshop etc)

Anyone have any other suggestions to get rid of this panic?

Thanks

If you reinstall you'll loose everything. Be sure to backup.
