I found a workaround, but it&rsquo;s still a mystery exactly what was causing the problem. First, why was AppleScript delaying and then timing out rather than just reporting an error? I still think there&rsquo;s a general Tahoe issue that causes this in a variety of apps. Second, what is the underlying error and why does it only affect some POP accounts? I was not able to find any pattern in the configurations that were getting the error vs. working normally.<\/p><\/li>\n\n<li><p>Oddly, with macOS 15.7, I got a few reports of <code>errAETimeout<\/code> with the Mail extension talking <em>to<\/em> SpamSieve. This had never happened before, and, again, there did not seem to be evidence that the target app was actually delayed in responding to AppleScript. It seems unlikely, but it&rsquo;s almost as if whatever&rsquo;s going on with AppleScript in Tahoe got backported to Sequoia.<\/p><\/li>\n\n<li><p><code>NSStatusItem<\/code> in Tahoe is sending KVO notifications that it became visible even when it&rsquo;s been set to be hidden (and seemingly is correctly hidden).<\/p><\/li>\n\n<li><p>I&rsquo;ve been using <code>Thread.callStackSymbols<\/code> to stash some context information in my errors, but I had to reduce this practice because sometimes <code>_NSCallStackArray<\/code> (the lazy class that calculates the symbols) is many times slower than normal and was blocking real work from getting done.<\/p><\/li>\n\n<li><p>I continue to receive occasional reports of Core Data crashes in <code>_thereIsNoSadnessLikeTheDeathOfOptimism<\/code>, where it seems like there&rsquo;s no constraint conflict or optimistic locking failure, just a damaged database file. It&rsquo;s unfortunate that Core Data can&rsquo;t report this as a normal error when saving and instead takes down the whole app.<\/p><\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2025\/10\/02\/how-to-export-a-mac-icon-file-with-the-proper-margins\/\">How to Export a Mac .icon File With the Proper Margins<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2025\/09\/17\/tahoe-applescript-timeouts\/\">Tahoe AppleScript Timeouts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2025\/09\/15\/macos-15-7-and-macos-14-8\/\">macOS 15.7 and macOS 14.8<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2025\/09\/18\/spamsieve-3-2\/\">SpamSieve 3.2<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SpamSieve 3.2.1 is a maintenance release of my Mac e-mail spam filter.
