MailRecent overview

MailRecent adds "Copy to Recent," "Move to Recent," and "Go to Recent" menu items to Apple's Mail application.

These menu items contain dynamically-updated lists of recently used mailboxes. The number of mailboxes kept in the list is determined by the "Recent Items" setting in the General panel of the OS X System Preferences.

What’s new in version 1.8

Version 1.8:

Note: Now requires macOS 10.14 or later

  • Updated for macOS 10.14.2 Mojave
  • Starting with macOS 10.4/Mojave, I am providing the plugin only. I cannot provide an installer, and you must perform a manual installation as described on the main page.
  • You might need to provide Full Disk Access for the Terminal application to successfully use the following commands. You should remove this elevated Terminal permission after you have issued the commands.

This great addition to Mail has ceased development and its last and final update was for Mohave. Too bad as I am unaware of any other Mail addition with the same features. It was unique and extremely productive and useful. One can only wish that Apple will incorporate its features in Big Sur.

Not yet compatible with macOS 10.14 Mojave... Regretting the upgrade without checking my most used tools.

Upon opening Apple Mail v11 (High Sierra) - I get an Alert (from Apple Mail) that MailRecent (v1.6.4) was Disabled because it is an Incompatible plug-in
