More 10.4.3 goodness for Apple Mail users

apple-logo-bwIn addition to the twelve improvements and fixes for Mail.app listed in 10.4.3‘s release notes, other new features make life better for Apple Mail (and Address Book and iCal) users:

  1. Spotlight no longer seems to “hang” halfway through typing in your search term. This is a bonus for searches in Mail as well. There’s no need for third-party utilities to stop Spotlight jumping the gun.

  2. Mail (and Safari) handle Hebrew and Arabic better. I guess this means smarter rendering of Right-to-Left text, but don’t know enough of either language to test it properly.

  3. URLs are no longer lost when syncing your Address Book with .Mac. Good news. I’ve been stung by that before.

  4. Address Book contacts organised by subgroup can now be transferred to an iPod using iTunes.

  5. Improved syncing and subscription features for iCal.

Of course, the real fun now will be trying to find the undocumented improvements.

    I was really hoping that a fix to the very annoying IMAP-bug that was introduced with 10.4.2 would be included – but it’s not.
    The mail count of IMAP subfolders (not the inbox) is still always doubled, and since I use MailEnhancer to display the new mail count of all folders at the dock icon, this number is never correct. :-(

    Even bloggers are allowed to get some sleep :-)

    But partly I haven’t said anything because I am not sure what to say. I don’t get the same duplication problem in any of my three IMAP accounts.

    I guess you have already tried deleting the local caches of your IMAP meesages and letting Mail rebuild them.
