Hi Paul, Mavericks OS X 10.9 has had an Update to Mail plus an update to OS X 10.9.1 If you make sure you do the Preparation before upgrading to Mavericks and then follow the 'Installing & After Installation completes' as below you should not experience problems. First thing to do is: Get your Mac ready for Mavericks OS X 10.9 INSTALLING MAVERICKS OS X 10.9 DON’T FORGET TO BACKUP FIRST: 1. Backup your system BEFORE installing 2. Repair Permissions before installing 3. Turn OFF Time Machine in System Preferences 4. Unmount & Disconnect any External USB & Firewire Drives /TimeMachine 5. Download the Mavericks OS X 10.9 upgrade app from the Mac App Store. 6. Run the Mavericks OS X 10.9 upgrade app to Install Mavericks ** Apple warning for installing Updates: Do not interrupt the installation process once you have started to update your system. What to do after installation of Lion-Mountain Lion-or Mavericks completes and your Mac restarts Spotlight 1. In most cases, as soon as Lion or Mountain Lion or Mavericks starts up the first time, Spotlight begins indexing (or re-indexing) all the files on all mounted volumes. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on how many files you have and the speed of your CPU and disk. During this time, you’ll notice a lot of disk activity (along with, perhaps, somewhat sluggish overall performance), and you’ll see a pulsing dot in the center of Spotlight’s magnifying glass icon on the right side of your menu bar. (Clicking this icon during indexing displays an estimate of the time remaining for each volume.) Software Update 2. After Spotlight has finished indexing the Volume: Run Software Update The next thing you should do is to update Mac OS X itself (and any other crucial Apple software) to the latest version. Sometimes Apple releases bug fixes and security updates almost immediately after a major upgrade, and if any such urgent updates are available, it’s in your best interest to install them right away. Shortly after your Mac starts up under Lion or Mountain Lion for the first time, Software Update should run automatically; if it finds updated software, it displays an alert “Software updates are available for your computer......” If Software Update does not run, choose Apple > Software Update. Software Update checks if a newer version of Mac OS X (or any of the software installed with it) is available—and if so, offers to download and install it. Repair Permissions 3. Repair Permissions Let Apple Applications Update their Databases 4. Open Apple Mail from the Applications folder and let it update the Mail Database 5. Open iPhoto from the Applications folder and let it update the iPhoto Database 6. Open iTunes from the Applications folder and let it update the database Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.9 Mavericks Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) > I was away for a long time, doing wine tours in Australia and the US, good > stuff if you have the time! > > Regards, > > Paul >
