Question

Mail quit unexpectedly while using the MCVRecognition plug-in

Mail is crashing frequently now with the message "Mail quit unexpectedly while using the MCVRecognition plug-in". My system has been stable for quite a while so I am not sure what it is. I have blamed a lot on Daylite DMI but it does not seem to be the case this time.

My productivity is going down the toilet.

I have tried disk utility to no avail. I don't know where to disable, remove, reinstall plug-ins which might solve the problem.

Would appreciate any feedback from others having a similar issue.

Thanks!

I can add that it appears to be one e-mail with an invite causing the problem. I have since tested invites from iCal and Outlook and they work fine.

So perhaps only a one-off.

Back up all data.

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:

~/Library/Mail/Bundles

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Services ▹ Open

from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.

2. Repeat with this line:

/Library/Mail/Bundles

This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
