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?

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9), 2013 model

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:

abort() called

terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

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:

abort() called

I have reinstalled Mavericks twice and still can't get it to work.

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
