I ran through all the help suggestions (including the profile removal). The computer I am having trouble with is Lion 10.7.5. I have it also on 10.6.8 (snow leopard). I am about to give up and start using this computer (10.8.5) for mail - pain in the ..... to have to move everything!

Have a look and make sure your accounts still appear in the settings.

Tools menu > account settings.. It might be something is just rubbish following corruption caused by the crash, but I think it would be fairly obvious just scrolling through the account settings if they look like junk.

Check to make sure you have an email address in the "TO:" box. Until there is an email address there, the Send button will be greyed out.

Gets me every time.
