Hello Mark, There was never a risk of me not being able to revert to OS X 10.10.4, but I’d done the update on a client’s MacBook Air with no problems and felt that there must be a solution to my own problem on my MacBook Air. I’ve been a Mac user for nearly 20 years, so very little scares me. I was more irritated by the Mail problem than worried by it. I just thought that it might happen to someone else and the fix might come in handy.
