Apple Releases Mail Update 1.0

Apple today released Mail Update 1.0, which resolves an issue in which some users experienced crashes of Apple's Mail application after upgrading to OS X 10.5.6. The update weighs in at 58 MB and requires OS X 10.5.6.

This update addresses stability issues with Mail. After updating to Mac OS X 10.5.6, Mail may unexpectedly quit. This can be caused by using a copy of Mail that wasnt updated properly (you may need to install the Mail Update).

Apple had previously posted a tech note regarding this issue offering several suggested fixes, including reinstalling the OS X 10.5.6 update and removing or updating third-party Mail plug-ins. This issue is in addition to Apple's acknowledgement of installation difficulties being experienced by some users attempting to upgrade to OS X 10.5.6.

Resolution
Install Mail Update 1.0 if necessary

Run Software Update. If Mail Update 1.0 appears, download and install it.

If Mail Update 1.0 does not appear, you do not need to install it. Continue to the "Update or remove plugins" section below.

I went to the Support download page and just got the disk image and installed. It let me do it, but Mail didn't restart or anything. Still at version 3.5 (930.3). Per download page on Apple Support: "you may need to install the Mail Update."
