Mail toolbar icons missing

I also tried moving Mail back to the Applications folder in the boot partition - didn't help.

Actually, it's behaving as if the icons are there but invisible. If I click in the space on the toolbar that they used to occupy (above their names: "Delete Junk Reply" etc.), the actions happen. Also, I tried playing with the settings in Mail's "View/Customize Toolbar" menu, switching back and forth between "Show Icon & Text" and Show Text Only," but it made no difference. And the icons are all invisible on the "View/Customize Toolbar" as well as on the toolbar itself.

HELP!!!

Thanks for trying! But you didn't see my second post. I had already tried what you suggest and it didn't work for me. (Glad it worked for you, though.) Rather than not being displayed, my icons seem to have turned invisible.

Problem solved! It turned out that in copying Mail from the Applications folder on my boot partition to the other partition, some files failed to be copied. I had deleted the original application, so those files were nowhere on my hard drive. When I control-clicked on Mail and looked in the Resources folder (in Contents), the .tiff files up to first-lettter "s" were there, but when I compared to Mail on a different Mac I saw a bunch of files that came later in the alphabet, including a bunch of "TB_..." tiff files - these evidently were the ToolBar icons. When I copied them from the other Mac and restarted Mail, my missing icons were back.

This leaves the following mystery. Before I did the above I tried reinstalling Mail onto my boot partition from the Tiger install DVD. For some reason the newly installed version was still lacking those icons. Is this a surprise to anyone else? Why wouldn't installing an application install all of its contents?
