Apple Releases Mail Update for Mavericks to Address Gmail Issues
- Thread starter MacRumors

Considering after it installs it reads simply, "Mail Update for Mavericks" I think that is just the fact that the Mac App Store appends the version number to the end of the "App" title.
I'm stuck in a loop. App store says to close Mail but Mail won't close. Can't even Force Close or restart.
Edit to add: Was able to force quit and reboot. Everything seems normal, but I haven't tried to send anything yet.

drag/drop still broken
dragging/dropping a message from the inbox to another folder still doesn't work right -- the message disappears, then reappears, then disappears.
on the plus side, emails are now arriving in my inbox in a timely manner (so far).

Hi guys,
I can't see the download link of the patch on Apple support page...
Any help ?
Thanks
It's not on the support page. It would've been released through the developer portal, since developers were the only ones on the first GM.
Just download the release version from the Mac App Store and install as normal.
Which patch? The mail update patch? Or from the testing GM to the actual release? Because that's not a patch, you have to "purchase" the full version for a grand 0$. Then it downloads, upgrades, and you check for updates again.
I don't use Gmail, and don't see any differences, it installed and started up in seconds.
I do have an issue though...ever since upgrading to Mavericks, I have lost the "Add to Reading List" option when control-clicking on any links in a mail message. I don't see a "Share" submenu at all, actually. I use that all the time to save links to read later, so it's annoying to have to open a link in Safari and then save it to the Reading List.

I wish it were that easy. We adopted the Google Mail for biz suite a number of years ago including Google Docs / etc. long before any other reasonable solution was available. Simply bailing from that would not be a quick process.
My update also just hung (I have two identical rMBP13 at the moment, pending a return) - Mail on one is now at build 1822, the other at 1811 and softwareupdate crash log is present - anyone know how to reapply the update with the new "magic" App Store?
After you have the most current version of Mavericks, the one that was released via the MAS, you will get it in software updates. Or at least you should. Let me go find the otherwise link for you.

It says download for me.
My Mail update downloaded and installed automatically, nice to see that feature working its magic. Weird that my iBooks update did not install itself automatically though.
Yep. I've actually noticed this when using Preview, but not in the host of third party apps I use. Probably should have filed a bug report by now, but I'm just so lazy and expect someone else to do it for me...

Damn, I was lazy and was expecting somebody to do it for me as well.
I guess this'll never get fixed
I have an iBooks update... no mail update. Ofcourse the best update to Mail is switching to AirMail
Or Postbox?
We recently dropped Gmail completely and couldn't be happier. Other IMAP email services work great in the Mail app. Gmail's nonstandard IMAP implementation is a headache and is the only oddball. Other email clients have problems with it as well. In this day and age with mobile devices and tablets, I'm finding very little need to ever visit a website to access my email so Gmail had to go.
I'm really glad I'm not in a situation where I can't purge all of my email every month or so.
