    You could also try moving the mail preferences file and then try opening it. The file is called: com.apple.mail.plist and you can find it
    <hard disk>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/ .

    Just move the file to the desktop and see if the app starts.

    I tried moving that file but it still does the same. i might just do a fresh reload found a few more problems too. I have it 5 years and it was never wiped or anything.
