[MlMt] Longtime user struggling with version

[Verdon Vaillancourt]

Hi Henry and Erik,

Thanks for your replies! I appreciate the detail. I did go to the download page and downloaded r6019. Thanks for that link. I had forgotten about that page. Running r6019 seemed to launch faster, though still hobbled my system for about 8-10 minutes before everything started running smoothly. I’ll try it for a couple days. It seems stable (so far) once running.

One note of interest, the ‘Check for test Build’ still gives me “You are using a prerelease. 5673 is the latest version available. You have version 6019. Downgrade to 5673 / OK”


Best regards,
V

I'm beginning to wonder if MailMate is still an active project, or if it has run its course? Any guidance as to version, discussed below?

Its fine once everything gets running, but if I have a crash or a restart, it can take more than 45 minutes for Mailmate to get running again, and during that time, nothing else runs properly on my Mac. Restarts have cost me more than an hour in getting a functional system with my apps all up and running. Its nasty!
