I had endless problems with mail cutting out but after a great deal of magnificent help from Apple and rebooting six times I found my "Tune my Mac" which I had used for several years, was corrupting my whole operation.

Once uninstalled everything reverted to perfection!

Hi!

"defaults delete com.apple.mail ColorQuoterColorList" didn't work out for me.

So, I fixed my mail app crash issue as below

1) Go to ~/Library/Mail/ (By right click at finder and choose "Go to Folder..." then type "~/Library/Mail/"

2) Back up ~/Library/Mail/V2 folder for your mailboxes.

3) Relaunch Mail

4) Sync all your e-mails again

5) If your old mail (only in local) is needed, import your back up mailbox. (Mail->File->Import Mailboxes)

Have a nice day!!

I did this and it did not work for me. But my issue is not so much MAvericks. It's that I tried to manually set up an mail account incorrectly. Then I deleted it. Now when I try to set it up using the 'Exchange' option - it crashes ... PLEASE HELP!!
