DAHMENATOR  Yeah, these guys are really on their game. Fast and efficient. Not only did they upgrade to support 10.6.1, but they did it without breaking support for 10.5. Unlike a lot of other third-party developers out there who claim to be "adding Snow Leopard support" while still retaining backward computability to as far back as 10.4.

The Mail Act-On guys are real professionals.

ROBOTANK  Yeah 10.6.1 definitely breaks Mail Act-On (and every other plugin I had working in Mail). Hopefully a fix won't be too long coming.

DAHMENATOR  Version 2.0.4. seems to break Mail's ability to Erase Deleted Messages and Erase Junk Mail. I'm using Mail 3.5 on OS 10.5.6. I have the same problem at home. Removing the MailActOn.mailbundle from ~/Library/Mail/Bundles will fix the problem. But of course, it will disable Mail Act-On. Tried to contact the developer, but saw no means by which to do so on his website. Hopefully he knows.

BCLARKJ  I love this program except for one missing detail. There is no longer any sync for the rules between other computers (at least I cannot find it). If it exists, please advise. Otherwise, great work. But without a sync, it has limited use for me until it does.

SMORR  I had to pull rule sync late in the development process but it is in the works for 2.1

If you need to synchronize rules you can do it manually by moving ~/Library/Mail/ActOnRules.plist

I am afraid it is not the best solution but if you edit rules infrequently, it will do the trick.

SMORR  I will be posting an update this weekend that fixes this.

To uninstall manually simply remove the MailActOn.mailbundle file from ~/Library/Mail/Bundles.

MALISTA  I thought I was just updated v1 (should have read the fine lines – my mistake) to discover that ActOn v2 breaks Mail (which couldn't load any message) as well as MailTags itself!!

also, no doubt that it is great coming from the creator of MailTags, but very pricy indeed if you consider that the 2 work together – and now you need 2 licenses!

well, back to v1 I guess... ; )

SMORR  We are currently resolving a conflict with both WideMail and LetterBox -- This has been the issue for a few people

This stems from a version mismatch of Sparkle -- the automatic update engine.
