Benny,
So far, no issues using the 64bit version on 10.9.4. Nice to have
the QL plugins working again :)

Hi MailMate users,
I know I haven't replied to the most recent messages on the mailing
list (or direct email), but I'll get to it eventually although
probably not today. Right now, I just wanted to share some details
about the latest test release(s) before the weekend.
## Yosemite
Yosemite hasn't been released yet (the rumors indicate late October),
but Apple released a beta for Yosemite which means MailMate already
has many Yosemite users (more than the number of Mountain Lion users).
If using the latest public or beta release (r3905/r4214) then that is
a bad experience (due to some issues displaying messages). It has
worked relatively well with the most recent test versions, but after
installing Yosemite last week I realized I had to work on various
Yosemite issues. In particular, some performance issues.
Therefore, I recommend for any Yosemite users to fetch the latest test
release. Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software
Update preferences pane. Users of earlier OS'es may also notice the
performance improvements, for example, when scrolling in the messages
outline.
Feedback is welcome.
## 64 bit
I have been working (in parallel) on making MailMate a 64 bit
application. This is not as trivial as it may sound, because MailMate
is already pretty memory-hungry for large message stores and going 64
bit is not going to make that better. Therefore going 64 bit has to be
combined with various non-trivial optimizations. Some of that work has
been done, but it takes time to complete.
Nevertheless, if you do not mind the memory usage and you are prepared
to run an **alpha** (unstable) version of MailMate then here is a
direct link:
http://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/MailMate_r5000.tbz
The revision number is **a hack** and you should not expect automatic
updates to work.
(Technical detail: Note that if you do not have a large message store
then you may save some memory, because MailMate is no longer going to
trigger the OS to load shared 32 bit frameworks if they are not used
by any other applications.)
Again, feedback is welcome.
## Exchange IMAP
I'm regularly contacted about various issues with Exchange IMAP and
I've implemented a number of workarounds for server bugs. Today I
realized that the `AUTH=PLAIN` login method for Exchange IMAP fails
for some users in a particularly annoying way. It accepts the login
credentials and then fails on some subsequent request to the server
instead (with a BAD response). If you have experienced anything like
this then I recommend trying the following hidden preference with the
latest test release:
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmIMAPForcePlainLogin -bool YES
This forces MailMate to use a different authentication method. I'm
very interested in knowing how widespread this issue is.
Have a nice weekend.
