The Long Sleep
So, I’m thinking about starting Hawk Wings up again.
It’s been a while. I’ve missed it. I wonder, after all this time, if anyone else is still missing it too.
At first, I’ll be busy on the back end. While I’ve been gone WordPress has jumped from 2.5 to 2.8. There are 924 comments backed up in the moderation queue.
But I’ll quietly plug away and posts will soon be appearing again.
I”m looking forward to it.

Tim, I’m looking forward to the posts. I was sad to see the posts stop. Since I use Mail all the time at work, I love getting your tips and updates to plugins that I can use.
Thanks for coming back!
June 19th, 2009 at 1:17 am
Welcome back! My Mail experience will be the better for it I know.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:22 am
Jeepers, that was quick! Thanks for the kind words. Once I remember how to update WordPress, I’ll be back in business.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:26 am
good morning sleepy head. :)
June 19th, 2009 at 1:26 am
I’ve missed your posts and look forward to reading your high quality writing again. I trust whatever caused you to stop posting is resolved and that you are well. Thanks for returning!
June 19th, 2009 at 1:27 am
I’d love to see Hawk Wings again! (I keep avoiding deleting it from my feed for hopes that it does come back)
June 19th, 2009 at 1:27 am
I’m still there, never left. Hoping to read your posts again soon!
June 19th, 2009 at 1:29 am
Your feed has also been sleeping soundly in my RSS reader. Looking forward to it waking up and providing me a whole new round of Mail tips!
June 19th, 2009 at 1:30 am
Welcome back! You’ve been missed.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:32 am
Ahh, the great awakening! First Fake Steve reappears now the hawk’s wings are spreaded. It’s a good day, today!
June 19th, 2009 at 1:33 am
Glad to see signs of life again! Hope to hear more from you soon. Thanks.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:36 am
Sweet! I’m sure there’ll be a lot to talk about with the exchange support coming and all.
Welcome back! You’re still in my RSS reader!
June 19th, 2009 at 1:41 am
I too, am glad your back! Your work has helped me be more efficient handling the daily barrage of emails.
Looking forward…
June 19th, 2009 at 1:44 am
Well, well, well… Look who’s back! Looking forward to more posts… you were definitely missed.
Cheers!
June 19th, 2009 at 1:48 am
Great news! Looking forward to new posts.
As above I noticed an ‘unread’ in my Hawk Wings folder in RSS reader and was intrigued lol.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:51 am
Very glad you are back in action. As an avid Mail.app user, I have always appreciated the resources on your site, and I will be grateful for your return!
June 19th, 2009 at 1:52 am
Glad to have you back.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:54 am
There’s still some of us subscribed; I’d love to see the site get some posting love again.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:55 am
I wondered what happened.. And was also missing the posts, as I found a bunch of good apps (MailTags, Widemail) that made using Mail so much nicer.
It’d be good to see you back. :)
June 19th, 2009 at 1:58 am
The Big Sleep is a great movie with Humphrey Bogart!
WB Tim.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:59 am
There are definitely people out there who never unsubscribed from the RSS feed in hopes of this :).
June 19th, 2009 at 2:01 am
I’ve definitely missed your posts – the hacks and insights have been invaluable. It was great seeing your feed pop up with a new post in Google Reader!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:11 am
It’d be great to have this site back; I used to read it at a time when I never used Mail, so I guess it’ll actually be useful now I’m using the app :)
June 19th, 2009 at 2:17 am
We missed you! We are so glad that your are back me lad! We’re so glad, we’re so glad, glad glad glad…
June 19th, 2009 at 2:21 am
You’re still in my RSS reader too.
—–
This time around, I’d suggest more of a explicit focus on the entire Mail, iCal, and Address Book suite, rather than just Mail. But I’ll read you regardless.
June 19th, 2009 at 2:22 am
Excellent! I was so close to deleting the RSS feed just two or three weeks ago because I thought it was gone for good.
Thanks for deciding to get it going again!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:26 am
I’ve kept your feed in my reader hoping you’d get the bug again – glad to see that happen.
June 19th, 2009 at 2:27 am
Although Hawk Wings kept showing up on my “Dinosaurs” list in NetNewsWire, I could never bring myself to unsubscribe on the chance that you might start posting again. I eagerly await your new posts!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:27 am
I’ve definitely missed your posts. Great to see that you’re back!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:27 am
Wow, saw this pop up in NNW! Caught me off guard but welcome back!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:33 am
Yes, welcome back!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:45 am
Ditto.
June 19th, 2009 at 2:47 am
With the changes coming in Snow Leopard (e.g., Exchange Support) your timing seems great. Perhaps there’s some iPhone related material to share too.
Welcome back!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:47 am
Great news. I’ve missed this place. It’s been lying dormant in Google Reader since I don’t know when! Welcome back!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:52 am
Glad to see you back, Tim. Looking forward to a live Hawkwings once again.
June 19th, 2009 at 2:57 am
Welcome back – glad I didnt drop the RSS feed, I was hoping you would spin back up at some point!
June 19th, 2009 at 3:02 am
Can’t wait. I’m glad that I stayed subscribed to your RSS feed all this time!
June 19th, 2009 at 3:06 am
Cool. Looking forward to it.
June 19th, 2009 at 3:10 am
What a surprise! This is why I love RSS :) Welcome back, looking forward to your posts!
June 19th, 2009 at 3:16 am
Like everyone else I’ve kept your feed, even though NNW lists it as a dinosaur!
June 19th, 2009 at 3:23 am
Hooray for new Mail-fu!
June 19th, 2009 at 3:32 am
yes, you’ve been away a long time. Like a sleeping mouse you just popped up on my RSS feed. Welcome back.
June 19th, 2009 at 3:32 am
Feel missed!
June 19th, 2009 at 3:37 am
I’d check the site randomly every so often to see if you were posting again. Hopefully you can cover the changes in 10.6 after it ships.
June 19th, 2009 at 3:46 am
Shoot, I’m so happy to see HW up from the dead that I’ll help do your WP upgrade. ;)
June 19th, 2009 at 4:03 am
Welcome back. Hawkwings has been missed. My Google Reader was lonely. But like Rocky Balboa, you can’t keep a good tip site down!
June 19th, 2009 at 4:10 am
I was happy to see your new post pop up in the RSS feed today! Looking forward to reading more from Hawk Wings. Welcome back Tim!
June 19th, 2009 at 4:28 am
Welcome back. You provide a valuable service to the community.
June 19th, 2009 at 4:38 am
Yeahhh, Tim is back!!! This is great news, looking forward to your next posts…
June 19th, 2009 at 5:39 am
Agree with @Chucky. Would be happy to see this come back, and would appreciate it including Apple’s PIM suite.
June 19th, 2009 at 5:55 am
Welcome back!
June 19th, 2009 at 6:03 am
I’ve entered your page every day since you left posting…just hoping that some day I would read this post. !!! You made my day ! We missed you
June 19th, 2009 at 6:05 am
I was about to delete your RSS feed. Glad you are back.. looking for the posts.. =)
June 19th, 2009 at 6:09 am
Yes!
June 19th, 2009 at 6:14 am
Hooray!! Welcome back!
June 19th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Looking forward to it as well!
June 19th, 2009 at 6:53 am
Great news. Hawk Wings was always one of the most useful sites on the web. Can’t wait for you to get back up to speed, Tim.
June 19th, 2009 at 6:53 am
This site is an amazing information resource. I have missed it dearly.
June 19th, 2009 at 6:57 am
I’m here – and you’ve been missed! Let me know if I can help with the upgrade. Hope you and the family are healthy and happy.
June 19th, 2009 at 7:39 am
Miss it!
June 19th, 2009 at 8:00 am
Well, that’s a nice response. Thanks.
I can’t believe Brent lists me as a dinosaur. We must have words! Actually I’m impressed that NNW still lists me at all.
June 19th, 2009 at 8:12 am
Come back! We need you more than ever!
June 19th, 2009 at 8:29 am
“I’ve missed it. I wonder, after all this time, if anyone else is still missing it too.” — Uh, yeah! Glad to see you back.
June 19th, 2009 at 8:31 am
I even moved the RSS subscription from Yahoo! to Google in hopes you would return. Glad to have you back.
June 19th, 2009 at 8:31 am
Grrrrrrrrr8 dude…
June 19th, 2009 at 10:13 am
I was just using your blog to look for some AddressBook plug ins this afternoon! i’ve missed you, Rev, Tim, please come back.
My one wish is that you don’t forget us few Tiger Mail users out here… maybe throw us a bone occasionally.
June 19th, 2009 at 10:43 am
HOORAY!
June 19th, 2009 at 12:32 pm

Awesome! Was going through dormant feeds the other day and gave a thought this way — glad to see it coming back!
June 19th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Fantastic news! Waiting to read you soon.
June 19th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
Yay!
June 19th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
good morning….
I look forward to your upcoming posts…..
I missed you!
June 19th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Welcome back! I missed your tips and I am glad you returned :-) And looking at the many replies your RSS feed was kept by a lot of people.
June 19th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
welcome back! I am glad I did not delete the feed out of my RSS reader, and that it survived 3 new hard drive upgrades….
June 19th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Hi Tim
Welcome back. I look forward to some incisive comment on Mail developments. Missed you.
June 19th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
Yes, yes, yes!
Welcome back.
You’ve been missed!!
June 20th, 2009 at 12:06 am
Welcome back, you’ve been sorely missed.
Although you’ve been referred to as a dinosaur above, clearly we’re all glad that you’re not extinct!
June 20th, 2009 at 12:19 am
Awesome!
June 20th, 2009 at 12:20 am
Morning all
It’s about time… just how did you expect the common guy/gal to function at 100% with out your impute?
Glad to have you back!
June 20th, 2009 at 2:09 am
Like everyone is saying, welcome back!
Can’t wait to read your articles on “stuff”. They were missed… Actually, I’m glad I won’t have to do the searching for that kind of information… ;-)
June 20th, 2009 at 2:55 am
Your blog was one of my favorite websites during getting in touch with Apple computers. I read every single post when waiting for my first device.
I am looking forward for your posts. You always delivered content at its best.
HC
June 20th, 2009 at 3:37 am
Yes, indeed welcome back!
I have been checking in from time to time to see if there have been any new posts – great surprise today. Mail is my most used App. I’m always looking for tips to improve my usage. In the past I have always found great info here.
June 20th, 2009 at 5:02 am
Welcome back Tim!! Let me know if you need any help on the WordPress side. I’m a huge fan of your past work and would love to help you upgrade your WordPress and maybe even help pick a new theme and optimize the site a bit ;)
June 20th, 2009 at 5:04 am
welcome back.
June 20th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Glad to see you’re back. I’ve missed your posts.
Bring it on.

Hey Giles,
Good to hear from you. And to learn from Twitter that we find housework has a similar effect on our creative processes!
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:56 am
I am so glad you started the blog again. Your posts are the reason why I started using Apple Mail in the first place. You really appreciated the app and showed us why. I hope you continue to expand your site so you don’t lose interest in it.
June 23rd, 2009 at 1:37 am
Hooray! Welcome back, I hope you were productive while you were gone. I’ve checked the site about once a week now since you left, and always sighed when there were no updates.
I was elated to see not one, but two updates today!
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:40 am
I think we need you.
(Welcome back)
Doug

Long time no see. Welcome back and let the good times roll. :)
June 24th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
I was happy to see a number behind the bookmarked RSS feed for HawkWings! Glad that you are back!
June 24th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Yes, we are very happy to see you back online! Great site.
June 24th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
Thrilled to have you back! This has always been one of the most useful blogs I read; I have missed it.
June 28th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
It is great to know that this blog is back! ;)
Keep the great job!
June 30th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
So glad you’re back! Yours was one of my fav mac sites and I was so sad to see it go idle for awhile. I just saw a link to you off of macsurfer.com and clicked right away. I’ve re-added you to my RSS aggregator and look forward to reading your updates. Thanks so much!
July 1st, 2009 at 2:26 am
Hey Tim! Glad you came back. I’d pretty much given up hope of ever seeing another post on this site. Apparently my persistence had paid off and you’re back. Looking forward to more Mail Tips!
July 8th, 2009 at 6:39 am
Hey Tim – glad to see the site is back. I look forward to future updates. The site is a great resource.
July 9th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Glad to see that you’ve revived Hawk Wings. I’ve always thought yours was one of the very best Mac-related blogs on the ‘net. My readers (at TheMacLawyer.com) and I always enjoy your articles, and I look forward to reading more of them.
July 11th, 2009 at 12:56 am
Great to have you back – you were missed. No one else pays the kind of attention that you do to these three essential apps from Apple – Mail, Addressbook and iCal. Stay with us!
July 11th, 2009 at 6:37 am
Glad to see you’re back or, as they say on ‘tinterweb, your back ;-)
July 13th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Tim…
This is great news!
I am one who constantly combs Hawkwings hoping that just maybe you have found a way to light a virtual blow torch under the butt of some of these developers whose plugin was once grand but has since been devoured by a leopard and needs to be sorely updated
I am really glad you’ve decided to pick it up again.
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:20 am
Hooray!
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Excellent! ‘Glad you/HawkWings are back!
Steve
July 27th, 2009 at 5:16 am
Good to see that you’re back. I’ve had you in my list of favourite blogs for a while now, and I thought that something horrible might have happened. I’m still in love Apple Mail.
July 28th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Welcome back!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:00 am
Delighted you’re back!
August 26th, 2009 at 8:41 am
Hi,
