<p dir="auto">Something odd this morning in MailMate 1.7.2 (4025): I had MailMate open while Safari was active in the foreground for several hours. I kept my eye on the menu bar counters, but nothing changed. When I happened to switch back to MailMate, my Inbox instantly populated with many messages up to four hours old. (Oddly enough, <em>server-side</em> rules did not trigger, leading to the kind of messy Inbox I work to avoid.)</p>
