Hi,

I just installed the newly released security update and it seems to have broken my mail program. When I attempt to open the program it tells me:

"Mail can’t open because you don’t have the necessary permissions to change the folder where it saves information."

And directs me to check the permissions on the mail folder in the library - which are set correctly (My username has Read & Write). I googled the problem and read something about time machine fouling up permissions on the mail program - I just checked and all the backups of the folder have the right permission - however when I try to restore an older version of the folder it won't let me as I don't have the right permission!

Any help would be much appreciated!
