When I click on the Upgrade button, it shows the notice captured in the
attached screen save file, saying that my installed version is a release, that
the latest proper version is 5673 but I have installed 5876. It offers an
option to downgrade to 5673 which I once tried, but didn’t like, so I
reinstalled 5876.
That’s been more or less ok for quite a while now (except that MM still doesn’t
sync my mail on Outlook or Hotmail). However, since a day or so ago, MailMate
has stopped showing newly sent file in the Sent folder. They appear in the All
Messages folder, but not in Sent. How can that be fixed?
Thanks for help.
