  • You can now move an email to a different mailbox if you use an email server that previously didn't allow this.
  • Improves results when using Mail with a .Mac or IMAP account and an SSL connection.
  • Improves text sizing when printing from Mail.

Networking

  • Resolves an issue in which the Mac OS X firewall could no longer be available if you performed an upgrade installation of Mac OS X Panther.

  • Addresses an issue in which the L2TP VPN could not connect with leftover racoon.pid.

Print and fax

  • The size of printouts from certain applications, including Safari, has been fixed.
  • Addresses an issue in which a "No pages were selected to be printed in this document" alert appears when printing from Mail, Safari, iPhoto, or Preview, and then the application unexpectedly quits.
  • Improves compatibility for Microsoft Virtual PC 6.1's emulated printing features.
  • You can now save faxes in a folder whose name includes 2-byte characters.
  • Addresses an issue with some USB PostScript printers, including the HP LaserJet 2300, Lexmark E310, and GCC Elite 21, in which a "Printer not responding" message appears when you add the printer in Printer Setup Utility, or when you try to print.
  • Improves compatibility for Brother HL 1240 printers when used on an AirPort network with Rendezvous; an alert message with "-9672" could appear when adding the printer.
  • Addresses an issue in which an application could unexpectedly quit when sending a fax to several recipients.
  • Improves compatibility for some Lexmark printers when they print an A4-sized page.
