[MlMt] Long delays after system update

[David R. Oran]

I’m seeing this extensively on Tahoe (26.4), Mailmate 6290 & 6292, with Spamsieve multiple versions (just updated to 3.3b1) and already reported it to Bennie along with config and activity logs.

Just FYI - you can cut the beach balling short by clicking on Spamsieve to bring it to the foreground. My guess is the root cause is something in MACOS blocking or delaying cross-app data sharing.

That is the symptoms match the known issue related to how macOS Sonoma handles mail extensions. However, I had no such a problem under earlier release of Sonoma (to which I upgraded from Monterey last fall).

There is a newer version of MailMate than mine but I can’t find the release notes newer than 2024 to see whether there are any related improvements. SpamSieve is at its newest.
