mail crashes repeatedly in mavericks on 2013 mba
I just installed Mavericks on a 2103 MBA. All went smoothly except for Mail. Mail crashes repeatedly on opening. Any one else having the same issue?

Yes, I'm getting the same thing, it seems to happen when Mail goes to actually view the message. I'm getting this in the crash report:
Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -redComponent not valid for the NSColor NSDeviceCMYKColorSpace 0 0.872328 0.263703 0 1; need to first convert colorspace.'

When I installed on my Macbook Air I had no problems, but on my iMac I can't get it to open for more than 1 second. This is the error:

I have reinstalled Mavericks twice and still can't get it to work.
I noticed that if I login as a guest user and connect my iCloud mail account to Mail app that it doesn't crash. So it has to be something about a preference somewhere.
What system do you have? I'm on a call with Apple Support and the tech says he has never heard of this ... :-(
I verified what simplicityAgent says.
Got disconnected on my call with Apple. That's never happened before. :-(
I did try to test the plist theory, but moving teh plist to teh desktop made no difference.
Mr Sunshine,
You can try this...
Go into Terminal and type in the following:
defaults delete com.apple.mail ColorQuoterColorList
Good luck.

Ok that did the trick. What is this change and will it affect any thing else?
Thanks so much J.K.
Yeah, fixed my problem as well. Fantastic. I guess that's what I get for having custom quote colors? :-/
It didn't work for me - received this message:
Domain (com.apple.mail) not found.
Defaults have not been changed.
Any clue on what I could do?
Lovely thanks J. K.
I tried this but keep getting the following error in terminal on my MBP, can you help as my mail is crashing as well, thanks:
Domain (com.apple.mail) not found
Same here, I'm getting the same message in Terminal.
I was able to get my Mail to stay open by opening the file "InternetAccounts.prefPane" using System Preferences, then deleting all of my email accounts setup information.
Once I got it open, I just had to resetup all my email accounts.
Here's something I just noticed. I left Mail running for about 10 minutes until it finally opened up. At that point I went to accounts which spawned the InternetAccounts Preference pane. In there when I clicked on any of my iCloud accounts I got an agree to terms popup which I agreed to and then the CPU usage (which was pegging at 100%) for InternetAccounts calmed down. This then did allow me to browse my mail without issue but when closing Mail took forever and now when I go back into the app it again is taking a long time and pegging at over 110% according to Activity Monitor.
Definitely something not right here. I will try your idea as well JKS but hoping I can work something rather than having to delete all accounts and start again
