iWorks mail problem

Hi there, ever since subscribing to the free iWorks trial and sharing a pdf via email I have 2 mail accounts in my dock- when i next logged on it had lost all my account info and i had to re-insert it all. I now still have 2 mail icons in the dock and both are bouncing saying that the mail accounts are locked! HELP!!!!!

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

You don't want more than 1 of any application in your dock. If this happens again, and 1 app is not working correctly, close it and try the other icon.

Thank you for the advice!

I managed to remove one of the mail apps from the dock- but in the process of that or the actual download of iWorks, it seems to have lost all the old content of my mailboxes, apart from the date/ subject/ recipient of the mail- which still appears.

Its annoying as i have "lost" lots of info/emails i wanted to keep- when i click on the mail the message says:

The message from " my name and email address" concerning “subject of email” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.

The account is online, but when i go to the server of my mail account (eg. googlemail)- these old emails are no longer there anyway.

Does anyone know if they are hidden away somewhere on my Mac so that i can retrieve these emails that have disappeared into the ether since the iWorks installation?!

Thanks!
Charlie
