PPC Mac Mail is 2.1 (752/752.2) and the Intel Mac is 2.1(752.3). We run a Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server on a Microsoft Small Business Server 2003. The Intel Mac works fine, the PPC Mac takes ages to sync (IMAP or Exchange account) and the Microsoft hard disks thrash for minutes at a time (no CPU usage just disk activity due to IMAP server going mental). The Intel Mac doing the same thing syncs in micro seconds and causes no problems. So, I believe the change between 752.2 and 752.3 is important I have been having real problems with Mac Mail on 10.4.8 (previous versions no issue).

I won't hold it against you :) Although I am not sure that feeling πολυτρόπως most days is always good for focus. Hi Bill,

Yes, it was an odd forking of version numbers.

I won’t hold it against you :) Although I am not sure that feeling πολυτρόπως most days is always good for focus.

Finally, after sweating it through Apple Discussions, I am relieved to find that I (on a PPC PB) need sweat no longer. I tried everything to get that last ".1" to show up. Thanks again for the thread. Let's all plan to meet again for the next (mysteriously un-documented) update. Bill P.S. After reading here for a while, I just read your Bio, Tim. This is a helpful place, you certainly are >. P.P.S. Gosh I hope you won't hold a bad declension against me. Thanks again. Bill Yes, Thanks, Don,
