Apple Mail has had this bad habit, recently. I write an email and hit Send. The window disappears. Lovely. I go on with my day; twelve hours later I go to quit the application. Suddenlly, the email window pops up again, as if in ambush, as if from Hades, with a message that says "The server could not be contacted," which is either true or false.

If I'm lucky, it will allow me to save the message as a draft, or if I'm really lucky, it will allow me to select a different outgoing mail server and let it go. That's if I'm really lucky. If I'm not lucky it won't allow me to save drek and further attempts to copy-and-paste the text will meet the same fate.

I'm fighting the impression that it's doing this to me on purpose, because of some sin I committed against its family—having used Outlook, or having once looked upon Athena in her bath, or something. It just seems so god-damned conscious, doing this to the most important "business communications" (if you know what I mean) and always when I think it's going to work.

I think it's a bastard.

I want to kick it.
