Since the release of the MailMate 2.0 beta last December , multiple betas have followed. The most recent one was released today. You’ll get them automatically if you configure it in the Software Update settings pane in MailMate. You can review all of the changes in the betas by reading the most recent release notes . Most of the changes are bug fixes and small improvements, but there are also a…
If you are surprised by the sudden appearance of a “Free Mode” button in the upper right corner of the main MailMate window then you probably missed this blog post . In short, a new pricing model was announced. This model has been enforced by the beta released the same day, December 22, 2024 (r6067+), and by all of the following beta (and test) releases. The change did not affect any of the many…
Just like MailMate is an alternative to the macOS Mail app, BusyContacts is an alternative to the macOS Contacts app. One of its popular features is that it can show related emails to the currently selected contact. This used to work with both Mail and MailMate, but currently it only works with MailMate (since the release of macOS Sonoma). In this post I’ll describe how it works, what might be…
I’m back! Or to be more precise, the homepage is back. Almost two years since the previous blog post and more than 4 years since the latest public release. I’ve been very quiet here, but I’ve actually been working on MailMate during all that time — which should be obvious based on the other blog post today about the latest beta and its release notes . For years now, the main focus has been on…
It has been a long time since the latest beta release of MailMate, but that changes today. The beta has also had its version number bumped to 2.0 (r6067) — this is both to indicate that it is a major upgrade and because it introduces a new license key model. For more about that, see the other blog post . This beta is now also the primary download of MailMate available from the main page. It is the…
For Big Sur (macOS 11.x), Monterey (macOS 12.x), and Ventura (macOS 13.x), it is strongly recommended to use the latest beta release of MailMate, but it should also work for users on macOS 10.12-10.15. Here is a direct link . It can also be fetched via the Software Update preferences pane within MailMate. At the time of writing, it’s revision 5937. See detailed release notes here . I’ll continue…
I have previously recommended that Big Sur users upgrade to a test release of MailMate since it fixes various Big Sur related issues. Some Big Sur users are also the lucky owners of an M1-based computer (Apple Silicon) and they should know that the latest test releases of MailMate are also so-called universal releases which support both M1-based and Intel-based machines using native code. Here is…
The current public release of MailMate (r5673) mostly works on the latest macOS release (Big Sur). One of the known issues is that printing doesn’t work at all. Apparently, this is used quite a lot by MailMate users (most often to do “Save as PDF” I assume) since I believe I’ve received more feedback on this than any other MailMate issue – ever. For now, I recommend that Big Sur users upgrade to…
The short version of this blog post: If you rely on using S/MIME in MailMate then make sure you have updated to version 1.13.2 (or later). It has been quite a while since MailMate had a public update (December, 2019). This is kind of a good thing, because the reason is that I’ve been working hard on replacing some parts of MailMate which were long overdue for a replacement. Most importantly, I’m…
Version 1.13.1 of MailMate is a maintenance release which includes various important fixes for Catalina (macOS 10.15). A detailed list of the changes and fixes since the latest public release can be found in the release notes . If you are new to MailMate then read more about it on the about page .
