die, mail.app, die!
I was checking my email last night, and I realized my disk was full. Also realizing I had several thousand junk mails, and an unemptied Trash, I mass deleted.
But then, the messages started reappearing in my inbox.
WTF?!
Command-Q. That usually fixes things.
Fixed it good, this time. Fired up Mail.app again, and the "Welcome" screen pops up, asking me to set up my first mail account.
Don't have time to deal with this, but if I don't reply to you for a while, you'll know why. 2700 messages in my inbox (mostly real). Yes, I needed to clean it out. But, without my settings, I don't have your email addresses. Or phone numbers. Or street addresses. Or directions to get there.
Other people have been having this problem too, I read on the Apple message boards. All of them this week.
Fun! But so 1993.

Kooky. What's the common denominator? Large mailboxes?
