  Sorry to hear about this and thanks for the hint about lack of disk space — although I cannot quite see how that could result in the crash you are experiencing. I'll have to think about that.

  First look for any files ending in .tmp in this folder:

  ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/
  

  It might help me understand the origin of the problem if you send them to me as well.

  Next, you could try deleting the .tmp files before launching MailMate. I think MailMate is then going to launch, but it's likely that it'll tell you that a rebuild of the database is needed. Follow the instructions given for this.

  Thanks for the hint! The file was .files_to_be_written.tmp. I'm kicking my self that I didn't keep you a copy; I just deleted it without thinking. However, creating that file with random text in it (echo hello >> .files_to_be_written) reproduces the crash.

  Anyhow, I'm happy now. Thanks!

  Paul

  Also, no database rebuilding was necessary. Once the file was gone, it just launched.

  Thanks for the update. I suspect the file was empty, but the problem is that I don't know how that could happen. I'll give it some more thought.
