Are problems with electronic devices contagious? I need help!

Mostly good suggestions from Doc, but I will note that DiskWarrior never reports hardware problems. DW does one thing and one thing only, but it does it supremely well: it identifies and fixes problems with the directory file on your HD. It does include S.M.A.R.T. capability, but I long ago lost faith in the accuracy of any implementation of S.M.A.R.T.

Given what you said about Mavis never having emptied her Trash in OS X or Mail, it sounds like she may have run out of HD space - I would check this. The OS can not function properly and will act wonky if it does not have enough free space available on the hard drive during operation.
