Missing permissions after updates
Reported by Daniel Brownlees | May 12th, 2025 @ 03:12 AM
Each time Mailmate (latest testing versions) updates the Mailmate.app folder and it's contents are set to have owner permissions only, group and other permissions are both missing.
I use Mailmate from multiple different user accounts on my desktop computer and the lack of group or other permissions means that only the installing/updating user can run Mailmate, every other user gets a permissions error until I manually fix the permissions.
Typically user applications on MacOS 755 or 644 for the folder permissions as this allows any user to run the Application, it would be helpful to Mailmate to do the same.
For example:
user@mac:/Applications
$ ls -la | grep Mail drwx------ 3 user staff 96B 10 May 08:32
MailMate.app/
compared with say VLC:
$ ls -la | grep VLC drwxr-xr-x@ 3 user staff 96B 13 Jan 2023
VLC.app/

I'm afraid this is an old known issue, but I'm aware of it. (It's not a quick fix.)
For now, the easiest is probably to have multiple installs of MailMate. (Relatively, MailMate is not a large app.)
