Things to Know

Note to Users

When using MailMaven, please focus on the following:

1. Stability issues, data loss, performance issues, and significant issues with functionality
2. Missing functionality - Things you could do in Mail with MailSuite installed but cannot do in MailMaven
3. Usability - you can do something but find the steps "awkward"
4. User interface—the fine polish
5. The wish list— things to add to MailMaven after the initial release

Known Limitations

• Rules - As a result of how MailMaven implements rules, rules cannot be imported from Mail
• You will need to recreate your rules manually in the Process tab of the MailMaven settings
• Signatures - The migration process does not import Signatures
• As a workaround, if you are still on Ventura, you can export your signatures in Mail and import them into MailMaven - you will probably need to do some "fixing" in MailMaven
• Sync Profile - The sync profile is not yet configured to sync application preferences. It currently only syncs tags on messages. Our goal is to be able to sync all MailMaven settings including Rules, Signatures and Templates through the Sync Profile
• Dark Mode - Dark mode is not implemented yet. Maven will run in light mode even if your system is set for dark
• Localizations - MailMaven is currently only available in English
• Perspectives windows are not yet implemented
• Apple Script - Not implemeted yet

App-Specific Password

iCloud

If you are setting up an iCloud account in any email client besides Mail, you must create an App-Specific password through your Apple ID login at https://appleid.apple.com.

The video below outlines the process.

App-Specific Passwords for iCloud or other Apple email accounts are created from your Apple ID page at https://appleid.apple.com.

Sign in to the page using your Apple ID and password. Then select App-Specific Passwords. Click the button to generate the App-Specific Password. Enter the name of the app you want the password for; in this case, MailMaven.

You will be asked here to verify your identity using your Apple ID password. Enter your Apple ID and password, and then Apple displays your assigned App-Specific Password on the screen.

You will need to copy this password and save it somewhere safe.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME APPLE WILL EVER SHOW YOU THE PASSWORD.

Once this window is closed, the password is irretrievable. If you forget the password or misplace where you saved it, you will have to revoke the App-Specific Password and go through the process again.
