is rumored to have said:

> Hi MailMate users,

> first, sorry about rarely replying to emails on the list (or off list 
> for some users). I dug a deep hole while working on various low level 
> parts of MailMate and I ended up with hundreds of things I had to get 
> working again before it was realistic to release an update of MailMate 
> that was actually useful to users. This also means that I've 
> essentially been the only using the in-development version of MailMate 
> for the past ~7 months and I'm a bit worried it's more buggy than I 
> think it is since it's hard to test every corner of MailMate 
> functionality.

> So, I need some users willing to try out a cutting edge revision of 
> MailMate. Just assume that it's unstable and don't fetch it if you 
> don't have the time to deal with any major issues, e.g., requiring 
> re-synchronizing all of your email accounts. It hasn't happened to me, 
> but you never know.
>
> There are no detailed release notes available, but changes affect most 
> of the non-visual parts of MailMate. This includes but is far from 
> limited to how MailMate fetches, parses, generates, caches, displays, 
> deletes, and saves messages.
>
> I know some users watch the usual deployment folder on my server, but 
> I wanted to limit this update to users actually reading this message 
> and therefore the location is a bit different than usual. I've also 
> bumped the version number for this cutting edge release to 3.0 because 
> it requires macOS 11 (previous requirement was 10.12). I've also 
> bumped the revision number to r7000 since this makes it technically 
> possible for me to also release updates to the 2.x branch if needed.
>
> Again, sorry about the lack of email responses in general. I'll see if 
> I can get through some of the backlog tonight and/or tomorrow.
>
> Here's the link to the r7000+ archives folder on my server: 
> https://updates.mailmate-app.com/sub/archives/
>
> Again, make sure you have the time needed to deal with any major 
> issues. Keep a copy around of your current revision of MailMate.
>
> Use “Help > Send Feedback” to tell me about any issues you find.

FWIW, it's not crashing immediately on a Sequoia M4 MBP
