Daniel,
For the past month or so I have had an issue with Mail Preferences - I
wonder if it relates to the issue you responded to yesterday as well.
Mac OSX 10.5.6
MacBook 2Ghz Intel Core Duo (2Gb Ram)
I have several signatures, which at start up each day have disappeared
from my preferences. Luckily they remain in the All Signatures
selection, and coincidentally in 2 other mail accounts (one
being .me), but they disappear from my regular main operating account
(iinet). Each day at start up I copy them across to the iinet
account, and they are fine until a restart is required. And then they
are gone. I seem to recall that when adding signatures to a mail
account there used to be a prompt to "Save Changes". This does not
appear anymore. Is it my system or did this come with 10.5.6?
Thanks in advance
Mike

Hi Peter
Did you try my suggestion I posted the other day, as I've had the same
thing
happen, and the fix I posted has always worked for me, ...the same as
what
you've listed happening.

This was the fix I used for this. See how it goes.
1. Go to Macintosh HD/Users/yourname/Library. Move the "Mail" folder
to your
desktop.
2. Launch Mail.
3. Mail will ask if you want to import your message. Don't Click
continue
yet!!
4. Go back to Macintosh HD/Users/yourname/Library. You will see a new
"Mail"
folder there. Rename that Mail2.
5. Drag your old "Mail" folder from the Desktop back to this original
location ( Macintosh HD/Users/yourname/Library)
6. Go to back to Mail and now Click Continue. Everything should be there
like normal.
You should now be able to open and use Mail like you used to. You can
also
then go back and move Mail2 (the one we didn't use from above) to the
trash.

Worth a try. :o)
Kind Regards
