[X4U] Mavericks performance

[Bob Aldridge]

FYI. I ran Geekbench on the 10.9.2 upgrade and the scores were slightly higher (3304 vs 3355).

I ran the Mail.app and it did NOT download my POP Gmail. I went to my Google Web Mail to double check the recommended POP configuration settings and I discovered the e-mail address for the "User Name", under "incoming mail server" was incorrect.  I corrected it and it got my mail.

I switched back to Mail under 10.8.5 from my backup and the User Name was correct, so it appears as though the upgrade to 10.9.2 changed the entry I had in there.

So it appears I can get my Google mail via Mail.app.

Looking forward to doing the Mavericks upgrade  on my main HD later today or tomorrow!

I opened up mail. app and let it import all my mail. Seemed OK. Then I went over to iMessages and clicked around there to see any changes. When I did that, Mail.app quit un-expectedly. I reopened it and it worked fine the rest of the night.
