MiniMail FAQ				¬

Does MiniMail support Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard?

Yes, MiniMail has supported Leopard since v1.0.2. You can download the latest version here:

I can't see the MiniMail window, how do I show it?

The MiniMail window works just like the iTunes mini-player window. To switch to the MiniMail window click on the main Mail window's green zoom button. To switch back to the main Mail window click on MiniMail's zoom button.

You can still zoom the Mail window normally by holding down the shift key when you click the zoom button or menu item.

It's also possible to display both the MiniMail window and the main Mail window at the same time. Switch to the MiniMail window as normal, then select "New Viewer Window" from the File menu.

MiniMail doesn't show up when new messages arrive.

MiniMail was designed as a convenient method of browsing new messages, rather than as a mail notifier. You have to manually switch to the MiniMail window when you want to use MiniMail. As new messages arrive MiniMail will automatically display them, but the MiniMail window won't appear or activate on its own.

Does MiniMail support keyboard shortcuts?

Most of the standard Mail message related keyboard shortcuts are available from within MiniMail e.g. Reply (+R), Forward (Cmd+Shift+R), Mark as read (Cmd+Shift+U), Mark as flagged (Cmd+Shift+L), Delete (Cmd+backspace) etc.

In addition MiniMail also has some keyboard shortcuts of it's own:

Return 					Open the current message
Space						Preview the current message
Arrow left/right 				Move to the previous/next message
Cmd+arrow left/right or home/end 	Move to the first/last message
Ctl+Return					Show action menu

Where can I find MiniMail's preference panel?

MiniMail's preference panel is found in Mail's preference window. Because the preference window has a fixed width you may need to click the disclosure arrows at the right-hand side of the toolbar to reveal the MiniMail  icon.

All my messages are marked as read when I open the preview window

If you have the GPGMail mail plugin installed this has a long standing bug which causes the message read/unread status to be toggled when the message is automatically decrypted. See http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/English.lproj/FAQ.html (last item on the page).

A workaround is to disable automatic decryption and authentication of messages in the GPGMail preference panel.

How do I register MiniMail?

Purchase a license by visiting http://www.olivetoast.com/MiniMail and clicking on the "Buy Now" button.

My license key has expired: how do I renew my license key?

Open the MiniMail preferences and click on the "Register..." button. In the registration panel click on "Lost License?" and then follow the instructions.
