Mail Crashes shortly after starting

Question

As my alias indicates I am a long time PC user recently (firmly) converted to the Mac world. I started using Entourage 2008 (long time Outlook user) but am thinking that I may prefer Mail. However, when I start Mail, it loads up, then appears to perhaps be checking for mail and crashes. All updates from Apple have been applied in the month or so I have had the computer. I am running Missing Sync to sync with my Treo, but I doubt that has anything to do with it.
This may help. The error message that pops up to send to Apple is pasted below.
Application Specific Information:
-[MetadataManager getAllCalendarStoreData]
* Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'trying to set a non-ToDo MailboxUid for a ToDo. The MailboxUid for a ToDo must be a ToDosMailboxUid'
Thread 0:
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Okay, did you try just deleting all your To Do items, saving the changes and quitting iCal, then opening Mail to see if it crashes? If not, try that and if it works, then quit Mail, open iCal and try adding one To Do at a time, saving, quitting iCal and testing Mail for each one.
With any luck, Mail should not crash.
