I have been a  long, long time user of Apple Mail and a couple days ago 
things went wonky. I  couldn't receive or send any mail and I couldn't 
force quit Mail. After quite a few frustrating hours I lugged my iMac 
to the Genius Bar at a local Apple store. The genius first ran a 
diagnostic program, one that I had never encountered and one that I'm 
assuming is new. Then doing quite a few things, things I couldn't 
follow, he got Mail to work. An interesting thing is that some of the 
interface features are different than the Mail I was running, a version 
which I assume to have been the latest as I run Software Update about 
once every other day. The current version, the one installed by the 
genius, is 6.0 (1485). Unfortunately I have no record what the 
preceding version was. Anyhowz, all is now well. At first, when I got 
home, I was quite concerned as there were some 47,000 files in my 
trash. I performed a SuperDuper! backup and then deleted the trash. 
Afterwards I did some checking at it appears that all of my saved 
messages, which date back to 2000, are indeed still there. This has 
been an interesting experience with a happy ending!
