Re: [MlMt] Longtime user struggling with version
Hey Verdon, Going from either of the two version you have used to the latest version experimental build (r6019) might not be a direct jump. You have a couple options to get there: 1. Download the absolute latest version from [MailMate’s archive web listing](https://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/) of ALL versions. For me that is the easiest to access. 2. In newest versions the Update features Setting may be available (Settings>Updates> Beta Releases). In checking from where I’m at now nothing new is shown. 3. Other access points in previous MailMate iterations have, ”Check for Test Build” option in the Menu (MailMate>⌥+Check for Test Build) or the above #2. 4. There is no documentation as to which versions have which activated links in to update path within the app, that I know of. That is why #1 is the place I go to get the latest. However the caveat is that you’ll need to read all the changes since the r5764 to see how MailMate has evolved. 5. The last version that I considered stable BEFORE the current one is r6015. My MailMate works in MacOS 14.3, the latest MacOS Release. It also works fine in MacOS Beta 14.4, the latest beta. I’ve had no crashes as of late, except one lingering issue with one source account, Outlook/Windows Live. My system: MailMate/6019/282BCB28-893E-51E7-891E-F3272BC540D1 14.3.0/arm64/MacBookPro18,3/10 Respectfully, Henry Seiden - - Techworks Pro Co.

Verdon, Agree. I see no posts from you on the mailing list. Hope you’ve caught up by now. Good luck. Respectfully, Henry Seiden - - Techworks Pro Co.

Re: [MlMt] Longtime user struggling with version
Hi Verdon, there's a known issue with users getting kicked off the mailing list. It seems to mostly impact folks with gmail addresses. After I got silently kicked off twice, I switched to using my iCloud email and haven't had a problem since. Also, I agree 100% with Henry, grab a more recent version. Although they might be labeled "test" versions, there have been many bug fixes implemented by Benny since the last "official" release. The simplest way to get it is to hold down the option key while clicking the "Check Now" button in MM's Software Update preference pane.

[MlMt] very slow autofill of addresses
I don't know if this is a mailmate problem or a general mac problem, but lately when I start typing an address/contact name in the 'to' field, the lag time is ridiculous before it fills out the whole address. I don't remember it being like this previously, and I haven't added a bunch of emails to my contacts or anything. Is there a cache to clear somewhere/somehow or something?? -- Jo Age doesn't always bring wisdom.

MM looks (optionally) at your macOS contacts and at headers in a mailbox of your selection (by default: "Recipient" headers of the Sent aggregate mailbox.) It could be very slow if you have a very large address book OR if you have MM configured to use a very large reference mailbox. A tactic I use to control the huge number of items MM needs to pick from is that I created a smart mailbox that is just Sent items less than 2 years old, and I set MM (in Preferences->Composer) to reference that mailbox instead of my 30-year Sent mailbox. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] very slow autofill of addresses
This is a good idea, Bill, I just did something similar. I haven't really had a problem with autofill being slow but it does sometimes pick up addresses that I'm not very interested in. One thing I noticed: a "Date is within last X years" condition seems to mean calendar years, so "Date is within last 1 years" only selects messages from after Jan 1 2024. So I used "Date is within last 365 days." Easy to adjust later, we'll see how it goes. Good idea, though!
