Missing messages muddle in Apple technote
Pierre Igot takes aim at the Apple technote about Missing Messages
in a post on Betalogue.
This technote describes what to do when a particular error message—“Message has not been downloaded from the server, take this account online to view.‗appears on your screen due to corruption in Mail’s internal SQLite database.
It’s a shocker, Pierre argues:
I find this particular tech note to be particularly interesting, because there are many aspects of it that are very wrong and indicative of a rather user-hostile attitude at Apple these days. In this post I’d like to highlight some of what I think are the worst aspects of this tech note.
And he does. Have a read
.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I never go away from Betalogue without learning something.
