Note on the r7000+ releases — Version 3.0 BETA
The r7000+ releases of MailMate are the first to require macOS 11.0 (the previous requirement was 10.12) and this is why the version number has been bumped to 3.0. The revision number has also been bumped to r7000+ to clearly separate the 2.x and 3.x releases. Finally, the release notes included with MailMate have been reset to only include what comes after revision r7000, but the old release notes are still available here.
Revision 7010 (Monday, June 15, 2026)
Note: Some of the revisions before r7009 were very unstable for some users. It appears r7009 (and r7010) are doing much better, but they have only been tested by a small number of users. Please continue to report any issues you have via “Help > Send Feedback”.
