My mail dock icon disappears in seconds.

I have dragged the app to my dock, and within a second or 2 it just vanished. The app works fine when launched from the application folder. Very strange.

I deleted the PLIST dock files and even requested the dock icons not be synched between my systems. Rebooted twice.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

That's very strange.

1. Does this happen with just mail or all applications?

2. Try opening Mail from the applications folder and click and hold on the icon. Click on the option that says keep in doc. If dragging does not work for all applications, also try this with another application if Mail doesn't work.
