Apple Working on Fix for OS X Mavericks Mail App Issues

Grow a pair pessimists. Every new release has its teething problems on any software Apple or not. Apple did a fantastic job with Mavericks and if you are such whiney rats why do you keep Mavericks? Oh right because deep down you know it is great but you love to complain because you can never get enough pats or something. /woof
If Google was doing it on purpose why would the issues only exist in Mavericks?
For your argument I can at least evince anecdotally by adding that for me Gmail's IMAP is indeed much more quirky and finicky than other clients I've used.
iTunes gets updated individually from the App store doesn't it? That comes with os x
----------
the pessimists, as stated in the first line lol..
Got fed up with Mail a long time ago. They promised it would be better in Lion, ML and now Mavericks. Nope. Went with AirMail, not going back.
Tried AirMail when it was beta testing, looked nice but resource hog and couldn't drag emails from one account to another like I can in Mail.app (big thing for me). I questioned why I was even using it. Came to the conclusion I was using it because it looked pretty. I questioned why I need my email app to look a bit prettier than the already neat looking Mail.app when I only look at the email itself and keep the client minimised the rest of the time. After taking that step back I realised Mail.app client was the best choice by far since it is lightweight, does everything I need and built into the OS.
So pessimists, don't hate on Mail.app because it is not eye candy enough for you. You love to hate on things over the smallest stuff. What you think software isn't allowed to have teething issues on release? Do you get upset when you receive a folded bank note too?

But you'll never get charged for them to fix it. Let's face it, all new software has issues when it released. Whether it's apple, google, android, Microsoft, etc, they all have bugs. So no matter how stable a company says it's software is, there's always something that needs to be fixed.
Keyboard issues, app issues, stability problems, trackpad problems, battery issues, hard drive issues, maps issues, display issues, . Apple: It just works TM 
Have had two persistent issues with Mavericks. One was that my Wacom Intuos tablet (and to a lesser extent my Cintiq) lost pressure sensitivity. That was fixed with a driver update from Wacom.
The other is my Mail is all jacked up. Rules generally don't work anymore, I'm getting no badge on the dock icon, and unread mail count is always wrong (example, it'll say I have 3 unread mail, when intact I have 12). I've been depending more on my iPad for mail correspondence.

A mutt
Yes indeed, Apple Mail in Mavericks is a messed up mutt. It is so bad that I have downloaded Postbox and have been using that for the past few days. In AM, filtering does not seem to work properly. Auto checking of mail seems awry. IMAP syncing seems to have gone haywire. How could this possibly have made it thru quality control?

Don't forget the pages-buck, please!

I tried to send an email with a new .pages attachment (mavericks' pages 5.0) and got the following reply:

Some of us prefer to use the keyboard because it is faster (and, of course, less annoying not to have to constantly move back and forth between the input devices).
But yes, your interpretation is one possibility for what I wrote. I obviously did not mean it like that, and the other points still stand regardless.

Stop complaining, Apple give you a OS X for free which is nice. Do you see Microsoft doing one single thing of that sort. Also many Microsoft release all
have bugs way more then Apple does.
Apple could have charge for the OS X instead but they see those of us that have macbook airs and mac's pay top dollar, so they saw why not give them free OS X and other stuff.

It is also now in the mac dev center.
So all developers can now get it.
However it weirdly only showed up when I logged in on my ipad, not my mac. It's not too big, so I just downloaded it to my dropbox with the ipad and then transferred to my mac via dropbox.

Well if they wanted to update just one app they'd release a software update which only contains changes for that app. Which is what they do.
I might as well add my voice to the chorus. Tried to download and install Maverick (there was no choice!). It failed, leaving me with the same OS X Macbook Pro Retina 10.8.5. Its not a problem, as I will just continue as before. Pity Apple can't get their act together on this.
