LOL!! I haven't seen that error message in a dog's age!!

It's a programming bug! I used to be a high tech engineer. If a program uses too much local memory (called the "stack") it results in an error and the program stops.

See if there's an update for the e-mail tool.

Still, that is a programming bug, mostly likely in the mail program.

The "stack" is an area of memory reserved by the program for the microprocessor. It keeps track of temporary data (in programmer's jargon it's called "local" variables for "automatic" variables") If the programmer uses too many local variables or allcoates too much space on the stack, it can exhaust the stack memory which causes the error "stack overflow".
