Wait a second, I need to make sure that title makes sense… yeah, that’ll work.
I’ve been talking about my struggles with the Mac Notes 8.5 beta for some time and then I got quiet about it. I’ll admit now that I just stopped opening it and went into Paradows (Parallels + Windows) for all my Notes client needs.
But then I started to run into odd things with the Notes 8.0.1 client running a current mail template as well. First, it was slow… especially using the Outlook preview pane layout. Second, there were a number of odd behaviors, like deleting a message in the inbox and watching the highlighted message jump to the top of the list instead of the message just before the one you deleted.
So I downgraded. I went back to my Mac 7.x client and continued to run the 8.0.1 mail file. That actually worked quite nicely, until I worked off my local replica and noticed lots of inconsistencies between read/unread marks. There were a few other minor tweaks as well, so I restored my mail file back to the 7.0.3 template.
For the first time ever… this downgrade feels like an upgrade. I’ve never been so excited to go back to the way something was even though I know I’m missing out on new features, UI, etc.
