- One of my accounts managed to make its Mail.app inaccessible by setting a
- wrong path to the Mailboxes directory. Everytime Mail.app starts it
- displays an alert window about the problem but leaves no choice other than
- quit. No menues, thus no way to change preferences!
-
- I searched the filesystem for apparent configuration files; no success.
- I also searched the manuals and I didn,t find a hint.
-
- As I know, there is nothing like a foolproof software as the fools are
- much too inventive, but I think it s a bad trick to allow a parameter to
- be set by anyone and then provide no easy way to mend the damage done.
-
- Any hints or advice to mend the problem?
