5/29/2023 0 Comments Spamsieve for airmail 3![]() ![]() Unfortunately, I’ve been using Apple Mail since the beginning, and Mavericks is the roughest update for it I’ve seen. Recently, I have posted positive comments about the iPhone 5s, Apple’s work on battery life (both Mac and iOS), the improved “level” sensor with iOS 7.0.3, Podcasts playback speeds, NSURLComponents, and Xcode 5 doc comments. But let's end with a positive note, AppleScript support is good in Apple Mail (at least in the version I'm currently I’m not trying to be positive or negative or to achieve some sort of “balance.” I just post what I find to be interesting and important. I could write an encyclopedia about all the absurdities of Apple Mail (and plugin support with completely absurd UUIDs would deserve an entire chapter). The UI of Apple Mail is changed too often (remember those ugly rounded segmented controllers for the toolbar?) and the mail templates are a iDVDification of the application. Yes, I'm looking at your Outlook for Mac OS 9). It's so bad that it's hard to believe OS X supports SMP and multi-threading.Īpple Mail is a nightmare when you have a very big mailbox (at least, it's not saved as a monolithic file and will avoid you losing all your mails should something bad happens. The current version I'm using is doing a really bad job at detecting spam (it used to be better).Īpple Mail is one of the system apps that can freeze all the processes when it's opened. Even so, this is the first version of Mail in Mavericks that feels reasonably reliable, and it’s about time!Īpple Mail E-mail E-mail Client Gmail Mac Mac App Mac OS X 10.9 Honestly, I've been using Apple Mail since 2001, and it has been a disappointment. I’ll begin with the usual disclaimers: not every problem has disappeared, and what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for everyone. Don’t forget that there are alternatives. (For example, as I write this, Gmail shows I have no unread messages in my Inbox, but Mail shows 10, including some I filed more than two hours ago.)įrom what I’ve been hearing, various areas of Mail in Mavericks are extremely buggy and/or slower than in previous releases. Worse yet, sometimes the syncing ends - Mail’s Activity panel shows zero activity - and still my Inbox is out of sync for a long time. Not even if I quit and restart Mail, or rebuild the Inbox, or force a synchronization! There appears to be nothing I can do but wait, and sometimes that wait is hours. But when one of these syncing fits starts, changes to messages in my Inbox made in other clients or on the Gmail Web site aren’t reflected in Mail. That’s all well and good as long as it happens in the background. Most seriously, with All Mail enabled, Mail periodically gets into a state in which, according to the Activity panel (choose Window > Activity), it’s synchronizing my Gmail Archive (that is, All Mail) and updating the cache directory for my Gmail account. However, it seems Apple didn’t entirely think through the implications. ![]()
