Mail crashing on launch after 10.4.11 Update

Hi All.

I did the OSx 10.4.11 update last night with a full Combo updater over a 10.4.10 system (I always use combo updates as they are usually MUCH more reliable). Following this, Mail.app crashes on launch in ALL accounts (starts in dock, then disappears without showing any windows etc). So far I am unable to figure out what the cause is.

I have attached a crash log below. If anyone can figure it out, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing extraordinary in a crash after a big upgrade. Troubleshooting has to look back to your install method, and if you didn't do it right - reapplying works. I would repair permissions and do a deep cleanup of system and user caches first, run Disk Utility and verify disk, Restart, quit any open applications and start the download and install ... do not touch computer! ... until OS tells you to Restart again. Run permissions again. This routine applies to any big update.

To fix just Mail, try trashing your Mail preferences from User Prefs folder, and go in your Mail folder, drag Envelope Index to desktop, and start Mail again. Without knowing your maintenance routine, hard to advise - these suggestions are intended for a previously well-running machine.

If Mail doesn't start after that, and permissions are okay, you can go thru the trashing routine and do another Restart. That should work. Mail will rebuild its preferrences and Env. Index (you'll have to enter your accounts and prefs again, so write them down.)

This should help.
