@Joshua (and everyone)

We fixed the Flagit! / Exchange compatibility issues. Give the latest version a spin if you get a chance… http://www.tastyapps.com/flagit

@Joshua

Heya Joshua… First, thanks for trying out Flagit!, i’m very sorry it gave you problems.

We have had some reports of Flagit! not working with certain flavors of exchange server – however, we can’t quite figure out why…

I would be very appreciative if you could help us debug this particular error, just email us at ‘customer-service (at) tastyapps (dot) com’

I downloaded Flagit to try it out. I have a MacBook 10.5.5 Build 9F33. I have two mail accounts in Mail. One of my accounts is a MobileMe account and the other is my company’s 2003 SMB Exchange account. I have never had any problems with my exchange account until I installed Flagit. All of a sudden I could not send any emails with my Exchange account. Flagit broke my SMTP and caused Mail to repeatedly reject and ask me for my password. SInce the installer didn’t include uninstall instructions, I had to scour the web to find out how to get rid of it. I figured out it was under the userhome/Library/Application_Support/SIMBL/Plugins. Once I removed it and restarted Mail all my outbox messages for my Exchange account sent. Also, don’t forget to remove the Flagit.plist file. It is in userhome/Library/Mail.

Hey guys… for anyone following this thread i *think* we have a stable build up – that should play nicely with any other mail plugins. If anyone has a moment please test it out and email me at customer-service (at) tastyapps (dot) com – let me know how it fairs !

LetterBox… hmmm… thanks for that info Drew… I’ll look into it right away.

Follow-up… It seems that having LetterBox installed (I didn’t even realize I still did) was at least part of if not the whole problem. I removed LetterBox, Widemail, and FlagIt, and reinstalled just Widemail and Flagit. So far, everything seems to be working correctly!

Tim,

I’m afraid I’m still having the same problem. I can give you a little more info to hopefully help track this down. I removed all of the files you said except “flagit! plists from user/library/mail/”. I didn’t see anything that looked flagit related in that folder. Let me know what file name(s) I should be seeing.

When I install FlagIt and reopen mail, my message viewer window is always closed. If I go to Window -> Message Viewer, the message viewer will open, but it’s no longer in Widemail format. I can select different messages and mark them as expected, however at no time can I see any actual e-mails come up in the mail viewing window. It perpetually says “Loading…”

Any other ideas?

Ok Drew – it might be because you had some of the remnants of the old version in there… try this…

1. close mail
2. remove the flagit! plists from user/library/mail/
3. remove the flagit.bundle from user/library/application support/SIMBL
4. reinstall flagit! (v1.1b – from the website)

Lemme know if that works for you.

Tim,

I’m afraid the new version is still giving me trouble with Widemail installed. As soon as I install FlagIt, Mail breaks — it loads in the dock, but my mail window will not open, and I’m unable to close the program. When I force quit and manually remove the files you list above, it works again.

Both FlagIt and Widemail are their newest versions. OS is Leopard with all Software Updates up-to-date. Good luck fixing this, as it’s software I’d definitely love to buy.

Good news. I’ll have a look.

A changelog would help users to know what has changed from build and build. I recommend them!
