Hi Everybody.

I'm in trouble.

Yesterday my computer wouldn't start, and I tried everything for many hours, but no solution.. Finally I decided to start over. I booted from install disc and recreated my system from Timemachine.. So i chose the latest full backup option, and after 7 hours of recreating, my mac is back.. Thank you TimeMachine.

Everything works like a charm..

Almost.

My mail, launched and prompted me to import my mailboxes. So I tried but some of the mailboxes won't import.. Mail Crashes when I try.

Any one out there who knows how to retrieve these mail??

It is 2 INBOX.mbox and 1 Sent.mbox.

Kind regards Alexander
 
Any luck with this issue?

We lost our power the other day and Mail now wants to import my messages and crashes after saying it has imported them.
 
Sorry I have no definitive answer.

What I ended up doing was manually delete the damaged mails from the mailbox folder in Finder. As I remember mail crashed at a specific number during import. I just deleted the mail that matched the number in finder and it worked.

I repeated this a couple of times, and after a day I was all set.

But I didn't finde a more clever solution. Sorry.

Good luck
