EFA Helper 2.1​​

• New: Notarised EFA Helper with Apple. This means that macOS will no longer complain about EFA Helper being potentially unsafe.

• Users have reported an unreliable behaviour of EFA Helper 2, which does not always change the message selection in the mail client as instructed. We have investigated the issue. 

• We noticed a peculiarity of macOS' implementation of multiple screens. In a nutshell, Apple Mail will only allow for its message selection to be changed programmatically if there is no draft email open, or, if one is open, then the window of that email has to be on the same physical screen as Apple Mail.

• EFA Helper 2.1 adds a diagnostic message at the bottom of the window to help determine if there are any underlying AppleScript errors. Should you experience those, please follow the instructions here

​

Known issues

• EFA: Exchange accounts: Mailbox creation results in mailboxes that have the full path in their name. We have investigated this and determined a bug in Apple Mail, which we have reported (FB9103373).
