Is your mail app crashing on 2.0?
This is generally caused after syncing your backup. This has nothing to do with jailbreaking or not. However, the fix for it is simple and is part of a jailbreak. The issue is that after syncing your backup, your mail folder is owned by root and your mail app running as user mobile does not have permissions to access it. You can fix it in SSH. But I also added a button in BossPrefs to solve it.
Step 1:Jailbreak your device
Step 2: Install BossPrefs from Cydia
Step 3: Tap “more”
Step 4: Tap “Fix User Dir Permissions”
Step 5: Sometimes, not always, you will need to load settings and reenter your mail passwords.

hello,
I have tried this on my iphone 3gs running 3.0 and it doesn’t work. Everything has been fine up until this morning when a new mail would come in when trying to open it crashes back to home screen. Now if I open it on my desktop then go back to my phone I can read, reply, search everything its just with new email. Any help please would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Torrey
