Can’t get Letterbox to work without creating major problems with Mail. Here are the issues I keep facing once Letterbox is installed:

  1. When Mail starts up, it will not start the viewer. This has to be initiated manually from the menu.
  2. Unable to quit Mail. I have to Force Quit to exit the Mail app.
  3. Mail won’t send messages with Letterbox installed and enabled. Nothing appears to happen when you send an email. If I disable Letterbox and restart mail, the missing sent mail gets sent off upon starting the app.

Any thoughts on what may be causing this behavior? Using Letterbox vs. 0.22 for Leopard, Mac OSX 10.5.1, and Macbook Pro.

Thanks,

Jeff

Not even an option to turn the subject column on…

I am likely overlooking something insanely obvious.
