Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Mail Update for Developers and Public Beta Testers

Monday September 22, 2014 12:27 PM PDT by Juli Clover

Apple today released a new version of Mail for OS X Yosemite, fixing an issue that could prevent users from composing a message. The update is available to all developers with the Yosemite Developer Preview installed, as well as public beta testers.

The software can be downloaded through the software update function of the Mac App Store.

mailupdate
A new public beta version of Yosemite and Yosemite Developer Preview 8 were released last week, on Monday. The software is expected to continue on in its beta testing phase until late October, when it will be released to the public.

OS X Yosemite brings several new features to the operating system, including Continuity, which offers unprecedented integration between iOS and OS X. The operating system also includes a complete visual overhaul with a flatter iOS 7-style look.

Its horrible UI design is a giant bug that needs to be squashed.

Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen a core app (minus iTunes and Safari) being updated separately in Software Update.

OS X Yosemite is a Monumental Release so the boxes need to be ticked 100%

Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen a core app (minus iTunes and Safari) being updated separately in Software Update.

Just one more indication OS X Yosemite will have less bugs compared to other releases when it is set free to the public.

I didn't have problems with Mail in Yosemite, but installed the update just the same. Glad to see Apple being this proactive.

You should be able to make calls on your Mac now via your phone, if you are running Yosemite and iOS 8.

I'm missing 10.10 right now, waiting for GM to be released....
