Hey Sherman. Sorry so slow to reply! All is well now, it seems. Thanks for your hard work and attention to detail!

Cool! I just did a reinstall and fixed the dual sent items folder, too.

All happy!

Chip Warren replied on March 06, 2009 19:33 to the question "b8 Conversation Display Mucked Up!" in Postbox, Inc.:

Ah, that is true. I have my Sent Items set to land in my local folders. I do this because I seem to wind up with 2 Sent Items on my IMAP server (MobileMe) if I set Postbox to put sent items there.

Hi Scott,

First: Yes, actually turning off the "show conversation" under View seems to fix it, too. But toggling the conversation to display only messages in the current folder also seemed to work.

Second: No! Clicking the specific message is where I have the problem. No message content displays at all. If I double click the message, still nothing. I have to hit "reply" to see the message content (as quoted therein).

Thanks for your diligence!

This is really becoming a problem! Now some email arrive and I simply cannot read them in the display pane or by opening the email. The only way for me to view the content is to hit "Reply" and read the quoted text.

Wow! Lots of stuff. What should I share (see pic)?

IMAP... Sorry, I forgot how to get into the JS Console. Just the Console in the Utilities folder?

Also, rebuilding the index doesn't fix the messages that won't display.

b8 Conversation Display Mucked Up!

After installing b8, the conversation display has gone wonky. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll add a screenshot.

---A message that was once a part of a conversation doesn't display at all after other parts of their conversation are deleted
---Subject line in display window doesn't match the selected message
---Messages are erroneously assigned to conversations

See the image.

Thanks for the update Scott!

Chip Warren replied on February 19, 2009 00:24 to the question "Ghost messages" in Postbox, Inc.:

I do! And I love them!

This is happening in my Inbox. I haven't checked to see if they show up in my saved search folders.

Thanks for the reply.

Just a quick note on this issue --- I'm suddenly getting this a lot and am having to rebuild the index a few times a day.

It's happening whenever I delete a message.

I've gone sequentially with each release since b5, I believe. Never skipped, though!

Chip Warren replied on February 12, 2009 19:50 to the question "Saved Searches cloned themselves!!!" in Postbox, Inc.:

Will do. I'll keep my eyes peeled. I set up new searches and they've been working fine.

Messages attributed to wrong conversations

Here's a screenshot of the issue I posted in another post. Since the upgrade to 1.0b7 Postbox has been erroneously lumping messages into conversations/threads with unrelated emails. In fact, as I was typing this message and an email notification came in from Get Satisfaction and it was lumped in with an unrelated work email.

Screenshot is from one that happened earlier:

Version 1.0b7 has the sniffles!!!

I shan't let this slip affect my profound and newfound affection for Postbox, but it is ironic that with the move into Public Beta, the app seems buggier than in the last two beta versions. I have:

--a dysfunctional preview screen
--phantom entries showing up in the inbox
--problems with mis-categorized conversations

Are these noted? Are they being addressed?

Bring back the love!!!

Phantom items showing up in Inbox

After the latest upgrade, the Inbox has been acting strangely. When I delete all of the items from a conversation, a phantom entry remains dates 12/31/69 and I'm unable to delete it. It doesn't show up in my IMAP account (mobileme).

The other thing is that after the latest upgrade to public beta (version 1.0b7 (2009020805)) Postbox has been attributing emails to the wrong conversation.

1.0b6 was working so swimmingly!

Saved Searches cloned themselves!!!

Under normal usage today I was sending a message (with no attachments, two lines of plain text) and Postbox crashed. When I relaunched. My Saved Searches were there in duplicate!

I just deleted them and moved on, but that was a little odd!

Otherwise, it's working like a dream!

Chip Warren replied on January 29, 2009 13:56 to the problem "Sent Folder not populating emails" in Postbox, Inc.:

To be clear what was occurring for me --- Postbox created its own "Sent" folder in my IMAP account (mobile me in this case). So when I looked in my original sent items I wouldn't see the messages. Then I noticed the other "Sent" items and there they were.

Also something to check: if you set your preferences to save your sent items in your Local Folders, you have to change accounts by clicking "Local Folders" in the Accounts pane in the upper left corner of the window. There would be a Sent folder in your local folders list if that's the case.

Chip Warren replied on January 28, 2009 04:58 to the question "Moving messages" in Postbox, Inc.:

I've noticed the same. It takes good aim! I'm sure that'll be ironed out in due time.
