Apple tech note: Disabled rules in 10.4.3
Tuesday, November 1st, 2005
Apple has updated a tech note about disabled rules following the release of 10.4.3.
It now reads (in part):
If you’re using Mac OS X 10.4.3 and use .Mac to sync information, any Mail rules that you created before installing Mac OS X 10.4.3 will be disabled.
It then explains how to recreate any disabled rules by duplicating them.
It’s a bit confusing. My rules all look fine after the update. The title of the tech note says that the rules “may be disabled”; the content of the note now suggests that they “will be disabled”.
They can’t both be right.
UPDATE: Although my rules look fine, are active and work through my Mail Act-on shortcuts without any problem, some people report problems in the comments to this entry. (I think I’ve worked out why I’m not having problems and why they are, and it’s got nothing to do with .Mac synchronization).
