I'm having some problems with recent versions of MailMate (both 1.9 and the 2.0 beta) running on OS 10.9, and I'm wondering if it's just me, or ...?

I'm currently running MailMate Version 2.0BETA (6032).

This note was prompted by the notifications of new email (displayed by the Notification Center in the upper right corner of the screen) ceasing to appear. I still do receive the alert sound, but that's it. They were working, and for quite some time (days) after I installed MailMate 2.0. This could be an Apple bug - I'm not using notifications for anything else, so it's hard to be sure what exactly has died. Relaunching MailMate did not fix it.

I'm also having a problem with MailMate not remembering its previous configuration when I launch it. Nothing at all comes up, beyond the items in the Apple Menu Bar at the top of the screen. I have to then click on the File menu, and select New Viewer Window. Then to the View Menu, unselect Organize by Thread, then select Hide Message View. Then for the MAILBOXES and SOURCES on the left side of the MailMate window, I have to click on some disclosure triangles to see the folders inside certain items. All this was (up until around MailMate Release 5142 or perhaps a few versions later) not a problem, at all. Yes, it's been a while, and yes, it occurs with MailMate V1.9, too.

And then, with the 2.0BETA version, after doing all this I also have to manually sync the IMAP account to get it started (File -> Synchronize -> MIX..). After that, it stays connected and most everything seems to function ok. Looking in the Activity Viewer no idle connections are shown until after manually initiating sync. MailMate V1.9 does not have this problem. Yes, I know MailMate's networking code has changed.

I may be the only person still on OS 10.9, but I'm not able to leave it due to software I have to run for my work. I must say Apple's OS 'improvements' at the expense of backward compatibility are a bit annoying, but not (yet) so much so that I'd buy another computer just to keep up with them. And then, I also still have two OS 10.3.9 systems running due to yet more software, and hardware, that I can't update..... Desk space is already quite tight, heh.

So..  Thanks a lot to anyone who can contribute any clues here.

And, Benny, pardon my asking in the list about this now, and please continue to enjoy your vacation.
