Mail.App just started hanging... how to fix?

[whyrichard]

Hey,

My mail.app just began not working this morning. It opens, it begins to load messages, i click on "All Mail" (using gmail imap), and then eventually I get the "wheel of death"... spins and spins i force quit eventually, reopen and same thing.

How do i fix my mail.app?

thanks,
r.

You could try Mail>Window>Connection Doctor and see what it says.
