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

I cringe at the two unprofessional, totally annoying Level 7 posters and seriously question how they got their points and why they have to argue and nitpick all the time, since they have nothing to contribute beyond pointing us at the feedback page over and over again.

Our points were earned by posters awarding them to us for helping find a solution. I notice that you have achieved 255 points earned for being helpful or actually solving something so you know how the system works.

(look up disingenuous)

Martin from's posts were deemed in violation of the terms of use, and were thus removed by the moderators.

I hope that answers your question

No one is telling them that...why would they?

People are coming here because they notice that it is missing when do an upgrade, that is the only reason people arrive at this thread. Why would anyone tell them what they already know.

When they get here, they discover:
1) this was intentional and there is no way to reenable it.
2) how to leave feedback via apple's official support channels.
3) the utility of this feature and syncronous as opposed to asyncronous account checking and why these features are absolutly crucial to certain users and so dearly missed.
4) the two current alternatives, and the ways in which they work and the ways in which they are incomplete.
5) that some commenters no matter how many points they have will be incredibly rude to anyone with a different opinion then them or anyone who questions the changes apple has made

The first 4 are helpful, the last is truly unfortunate.
Why are you even wasting your and everyone elses time in this thread?

I am un-subscribing from this nonsense.

I came here looking for technical support... you should be ashamed of your behavour.

If you have nothing constructive to say, SAY NOTHING.

As c.rowan has not posted here for nearly 2 years it seems unfair to address this complaint to him/her don't you think?

Not that you'll get a notification of course.
