New user here, eight days into the trial.
I have two sources of email; exchange and gmail. Yesterday my exchange
vendor decided to upgrade everything, so
there was a long period when things didn’t work very well.
During that period MailMate would complain that the password was wrong.
My first issue: it get’s in a loop. If you cancel or provide a
password it almost immediately pops up the same complaint. It is
extremely hard to get out of this state. I was able to quit, finally,
by slipping the cmd-Q into the short moment after hitting cancel
The second issue is more odd. It took me a while to realize I the
Sources could be individually disabled via the menu that pops up if I
middle click on the source name in the main viewer. If I take them both
offline I can work on the mail I’ve already received.
So my second issue is that if I bring up only the gmail source I get
prompted for the exchange account’s email.
There is a work around, i.e. set the exchange offline and to sync
manually. If I do sync manually I fall back into the first issue.
Curiously if I manage to hit quit and escape from issue one land it will
unwind the work in progress, close all the windows, and then - just for
good measure - pop up 2 or three additional requests for the password.
Hope this is helpful. - ben
