[MlMt] MM crashes often on M1 macbook pro

[Eli Rotenberg]

I tried the newer build that was available last week and found that although the original crashing during editing messages went away, currently it crashes completely randomly, and much more often, and after crash will then often  crash repeatedly on reloading the app, taking several retries to start before it will run again.  Currently it will not run after about 10 retries so I cannot confirm the build version, but I downloaded the latest public beta just now and it crases on loading.  I send a fraction of these crash reports to Apple, I don’t know if these are of use or not.

is there a ‘factory reset’ I can perform to get mailmate running again?


thanks.
Eli

One seems to be related to a large number of accounts and the other possibly with writing very fast in the Composer. I have not yet been able to reproduce them.

But the clearing of this value would probably have happened at some other point, e.g., when editing the IMAP account settings (possibly to change something else). Let me know if this happens again and/or you figure out what triggered it.

I had removed and re-added the Gmail source, and then adjusted the folder subscription.  I’d guess the change to the plist happened somewhere there.
