Mail.app Bugs

Account creation:
Sometimes when a new email account is created, it may not pick up the emails, or appear not to respond. If you quit the application (Mail Menu>Quit), then reopen it, is should start working.

Account deletion:
If you delete an email account, it can also delete all the email that account has downloaded currently stored in the inbox (mailbox). To get round this, create a new folder and drag the emails to there before removing the account.

Emails stuck on server:
A common issue on all versions of the Mail application, is where after copying the emails over from the server, they are not deleted, but continue to build up in the mailbox on the server. To resolve this, go to the Mail menu>Preferences>Accounts icon. Highlight the account, and go into the 'Advanced' tab, then click on the button called 'Delete Now'. unfortunately you may have to do this every few days to keep on top of things.
