MacVoices #23188: MacVoices Live! - Sonoma Drops Mail Plugin Support; Silo's Success (1)

This MacVoices Live! session starts off with a discussion of the impact of Apple's API restrictions on third-party applications, particularly in relation to mail plug-ins in Sonoma. Chuck Joiner, Jim Rea, David Ginsburg, Ben Roethig, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs and Web Bixby explore the importance of having a backup plan and the challenges faced by developers when APIs lack functionality. We also cover alternative options for Gmail users and workarounds for using Apple Mail with Outlook. Other topics include MSG file compatibility on Mac, the popularity of shows like "Silo" and "Foundation," and the possibility of a season four of "Ted Lasso.” (Part 1) This MacVoices is supported by Notion.
