This update caused all kinds of annoying little glitches too numerous to list here. Yes, I did rebuild permissions and restart after installing it. Yes, I did rebuild the database after installing it (but not before trying it first). However, the problems would not go away until I rebuilt twice (and we'll see how permanently they disappeared). My guess is that a lot more bad reviews are soon to come on VersionTracker.

Causes many weird problems - Jay
OK. After the upgrade, suddenly I could not send messages to a Group anymore, I had to send the message to each of them individually. Then, my pane view rearranged with a huge blank area under the attachments section -- fixed this by changing views a few times. It also wouldn't recognize my accounts security settings -- I had to re-enter them. Also, things showed up in my mailboxes that I had alread moved to the trash and then deleted. There are more, but I can't remember them now.It is possible that it is stabilizing (after three rebuilds and a permissions repair).

I fully agree! I also did a complete rebuild after the updating, but now some new problems have arisen.In Entourage, I can no longer find or use my local Directory Services for addresses, and there's no way to delete the bloated "On My Computer" handle that shows up on the Move menu.
May finally be time for me to move my e-mail to the Apple Mail.app....

Oh come on! "...little glitches too numerous to list here." Give us, say, the five biggest ones, just so we know what kind of problems you're talking about.I was about to download this behemoth service pack until I saw your warning. Thanks for posting, but I would like to hear more about these bugs...
