Re: [MlMt] MailMate did not synchronize in the background
Benny, **What's New in OS X: OS X Mavericks 10.9** says all that I know about AppNap clearly and simply: App Nap reduces power consumption by completely suspending your app’s execution when it meets certain criteria. This ensures that your app does not periodically wake up to do unnecessary work. An app is considered to be a candidate for sleep if: - It is not visible—if all of an app’s windows are either hidden by other windows or minimized in a hidden dock, and the app is not in the foreground - It is not audible - It has not explicitly disabled automatic termination - It has not taken any power management assertions When all of these conditions are met, OS X may put the app to sleep. While asleep, the app is placed on a scheduling queue that rarely gets actual time on the CPU. The app wakes up automatically when the user brings the app to the foreground or when the app receives a Mach message or Apple event. Because I like to have MailMate open all the time, but don't like to have windows open that I'm not actively using, I generally hide MailMate after using it (expecting the menu bar counter to alert me of incoming messages). That meant that all four of Apple's conditions were true, and at some point OS X sent MailMate to sleep.

Let me know when you have a conclusion on this. **Embarrassingly** I'm still not on Mavericks on my development machine and I still have little experience with AppNap. -- Benny ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
[MlMt] MailMate did not synchronize in the background
Something odd this morning in MailMate 1.7.2 (4025): I had MailMate open while Safari was active in the foreground for several hours. I kept my eye on the menu bar counters, but nothing changed. When I happened to switch back to MailMate, my Inbox instantly populated with many messages up to four hours old. (Oddly enough, *server-side* rules did not trigger, leading to the kind of messy Inbox I work to avoid.) ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] MailMate did not synchronize in the background
Are you using Mavericks ? If so check AppNap, it makes background applications sleep to preserve power https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5513884 Marc On 25 Feb 2014, at 20:46, John Cooper wrote: Something odd this morning in MailMate 1.7.2 (4025): I had MailMate open while Safari was active in the foreground for several hours.
