Known Plugin or Mail Issues

Disappearing Mailboxes (12 April 2012)

Some might notice mailboxes unexpectedly disappearing from the recent items lists. I too have noticed this. There are some legitimate reasons for this to happen, but it seems like more than I would expect. This is at the top of my list to look at, however I'm a little afraid it may be complicated and difficult to debug, because (among other things) it appears to be an intermittent issue, which makes it hard to reproduce in a controlled manner. Currently the only time the plugin should remove a mailbox is if the Mail application says the mailbox no longer exists, e.g., because the user has deleted it. As such the disappearance could be related to intermittent and brief mail server communication issues. On the other hand I am seeing it more frequently myself, so it could be there is something else happening involving some subtle timing issues. Or there is a plain old bug in my code. I will look at this as soon as my professional and personal life allows.

Mail's "Move Again" Menu Bug (10 February 2007)

There appears to be a bug in Mail 2.1 (PPC) and 2.2.1 (Intel). This bug might persist into Mail 4.1 (OS X 10.6/Snow Leopard) but I am not sure. Below are the details I included in a bug report to Apple.

Summary:

If you move a message to a particular mailbox, the Message menu contains the proper "Move to xxx Again" item. If you then COPY a message to that SAME mailbox, the Message menu item does NOT get updated to be "Copy to xxx Again" but instead remains "Move to xxx Again". The same is true in reverse (copy and then move).

Status:
Apple knows about this issue and is working on it (Bug ID# 4016204).
