Hi, has anyone else noticed this odd behavior: sometime MailMate
will emit the system alert sound when I select certain messages for
viewing. I don't see anything unusual about the messages it chooses
to do this with, and the behavior goes away (but eventually returns)
if I restart MM.
YES I have seen this behavior every day. Since I don’t have sound
on for alerts, the thing I notice is that as I’m going through my
Inbox, every so often instead of a down arrow (or N/P with my key
bindings) moving me to the next message, what I see is that the Apple
Menu has been highlighted and opened instead. I have to click away
from that and then highlight my next message in Mailmate and at that
point I can work normally until the next time it happens. I see this
behavior at least 2x and up to 10+ times in a typical day. I’d love
to be able to stop this behavior.
It sounds like some other program is launching in the background and
then stealing the keyboard focus from MailMate, perhaps some automatic
update process (e.g. anti-virus, Adobe CC, even OS X)? If that update
program doesn’t recognize your keyboard input, it would beep at you.
I have seen DropBox and Google Backup & Restore do this, but not every
day.

It does sound like Lisa and I are describing two different issues. In
my case, no menu item highlights, and no other App grabs the focus. MM
simply beeps at me when I select certain messages. Restarting MM
resolves the issue, at least for a period of time.
Thanks.
