226 Counters and sound cannot be disabled was updated
  • benny
    benny commented at 6:19 AM

    Arbitrary colors are actually supported, but there is no GUI for it:

    defaults read com.freron.MailMate MmCounters
    

    You might need a property list editor to cha...

221 IMAP IDLE for configurable set of mailboxes was updated
  • benny
    benny commented at 6:14 AM

    You write “rapidly” which is not possible by regularly querying the
    server. Therefore I think either MailMate does not pick up some
    information sent while runni...

    In widescreen view the message list is formatted with the same columns as in three pane view etc.

    It would be a big improvement to have it formatted differently...

294 Unexpected behaviour of undo move/delete message in "Unread" folder was created

    In Apple Mail if I go to the "All Unread" smart folder and delete or move a message incorrectly, I can hit cmd-Z to undo that action and the mail reappears in t...

291 <Feature Request> S/MIME signing/encryption support was updated
  • benny
    benny commented at 5:28 PM

    You are right. The message has an empty signature MIME part. Not sure why it happened, but I'll keep an eye out for it when testing.

291 <Feature Request> S/MIME signing/encryption support was updated
  • benny
    benny commented at 6:51 PM

    Thanks for the details.

290 MailMate Crashing on startup was updated
  • benny
    benny commented at 11:18 AM

    Ok, if you did not use the test version for rebuilding then MailMate should be able to handle if you quit (or force quit) the rebuilding. The progress indicator...

    I believe MailMate would then tell you the database is corrupt and ask for you to allow it to rebuild the database. If you do that then do it with the test vers...

    @benny Can you tell from your code/logs whether it's timing out or succeeding after a long delay?
