Deleting the RSS directory worked for me too. Mail was crashing on start.
Have re-subscribed to one feed without problem...

Thank you all for the info and ways.....

Any one can help me?

You are a star - this was my exact problem that I would never have realised. Thanks.
I agree that it only appears to happen with negative condition "Smart Groups" as you said.

I'm having problems with Mail locking up in Snow leopard 10.6.1. I've used my Addressbook and that seems to work. I'm having problem with mail messages not loading and if my machine has been inactive for awhile I get the spinning wheel of death. At that point I have to manually power down. Also when I do a Shut down it never works, just sort of shuts off the open Applications but never powers down. Safari seems to be slower than before instead of faster. Hope they fix this soon, otherwise I'll just go back to Leopard, the heck with the Snow. It seems that Apple is trying to freeze us out rather than help, something I would expect from Microsoft but not Apple.

Bud,

I have had the exact same problem since upgrading to SL tonight.

Did you find a solution to the issue?

Regards,
Andrew

I went into a clean account that I had set up on my machine and reinstalled SL 6 from there. Things seem a little better but whenever my machine sleeps I have a difficult time getting it back up. Most of the time I end up shutting it down and rebooting. I did find that if I logout and then do a shutdown from the login window I can make it actually shut down like it used to.

After installing Snow Leopard, my Mail app hangs AFTER I type in an address. It starts to finish the address, then hangs for about 10 seconds. I deleted all "Previous Recipients" and have no smart addresses. It still does it.

This worked for me. Thanks.

After a message that the index was corrupt I tried restarting and it attempted to import the mailboxes, but every time it tried it created a new Envelope Index and crashed.

Manually deleting them after backing up the mailbox, then using the manual import worked.

Spot on answer. Thanks!

I though it was a problem with Mail, but the issue was in the Address Book.

I had just upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard using the Mac Box Set.

I deleted the file AddressBook-V22.abcddb and everything started working. Address Book and Mail.

It took me 2 hours to find the answer.

Thanks again.
