Workaround for Quitting MsgFiler Bug

Some users have been reporting that MsgFiler is quitting after a period of inactivity or when waking the Mac up from sleep. I have yet to reproduce this error on my end, which makes identifying the root cause of the bug frustrating.

That said, I do have a workaround that I’m recommending to users. In this article, we’ll be creating a shell script that checks whether or not Mail is running and MsgFiler is not running. If those conditions are met, MsgFiler will be launched. Second, we’ll attach this script to a cron job that runs every minute while your Mac is running.
