AppleCare/Troubleshooting
  • "Mail 7.0 has problems if it runs for a long time (memory leaks?). For me, it starts to do bizarre things like refusing to open the preferences window, opening viewer windows with the top bar totally blank, refusing to allow selections from menu lists, etc. I now just quit and restart at the first sign of weirdness, maybe once or twice a day." MacInTouch 11/27
