Apple has historically been quick on the draw with the initial fixes for each new major operating system release, and it appears OS X Mountain Lion will be no exception now that developers are already working with a beta of OS X 10.8.1.
9to5Mac is reporting that Apple has begun seeding developers with a fresh new build of OS X Mountain Lion as of Friday afternoon. OS X 10.8.1 is a mere 38.54MB download when applied as a delta update, and Apple is noting there are no known issues with the update as yet.
So what does OS X 10.8.1 address? Apple has asked developers to focus on Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange in Mail, PAC proxies in Safari, SMB, USB and Wi-Fi or audio issues while connected to a 27-inch Thunderbolt Display.
We're hoping "USB" means fixing some fairly ugly sleep issues with USB 3.0 hubs -- in our case we've tried two different models only to discover that our MacBook Pro with Retina Display completely kills the hub each time the computer sleeps, dismounting any hard drives connected to it and causing an error upon wake that definitely wasn't happening with OS X Lion. Pretty annoying!
Here's hoping OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.1 will arrive sooner than later with a little bit of love and joy for all of us…

Mac Mail is rubbish. Several times every day all the contents of my inbox completely disappear. They only slowly return after quitting and re-starting Mac Mail, its as though it thinks I have created the account from scratch every time.

Seems I cannot locate some messages I have been sent, also sent mail seems to disappear at times... extremely frustrating.
Am on Lion 10.8.2 - anyone else experiencing this annoying issue??

Has anyone else had issues with the Mail program? At times it will not delete messages within a thread after the upgrade to Mountain Lion and also, it will add old emails to a current thread if they are from the same sender with the same subject, even after they have been deleted. This happens for mail that is many months or years old.
It seems like mail keeps a copy of all my old Gmail messages even after they are deleted from my iPhone or from the mail program, any way to stop this from occurring?
Thanks,
Ben
