Mac Mail 6 is missing the "spinning wheel" indicator when checking for new mail

Before updating to Maountain Lion, when cheking for new mail in Mail, there was a little indicator ("spinning wheel") next to the Inbox to confirm it was actually working.


Since updating to Mountain Lion, the indicator isn't there. It's not that much of a big deal if it doesn't exist anymore, but it was good to have, and if it's just a setting I need to turn back on, then that would be cool, if I could find it 🙂

Good points. Apple have their heads in the sand and actually believe that they are right. It's pretty sad.

Seems to be working well so far.


I predict a big backlash in the not too distant future.

That has been predicted with every release of OSX since Tiger, as yet it has proved fallacious.

It reminds me of the late great comedian Murray Roman's second album ,'You can't beat people up and have them say I love you'. 🙂

If only this was a show 😟

It was when he performed it live. 🙂
