MsgFiler 3.1.1 is now available from the Mac App Store. This version of MsgFiler now requires OS X Mountain Lion. It fixes the problem where messages are filed slowly even when using the MsgFiler Engine.
Users of MsgFiler on Snow Leopard and Lion are encouraged to download and use either MsgFiler 3.0.4 (the last version from the App Store for Lion and Snow Leopard) or MsgFiler 3.0.5. Engine users should use MsgFiler Engine 1.0.9.1, for the best possible performance.
MsgFiler 3.1 has been approved by Apple and will be appearing soon for registered users in the Updates pane in the Mac App Store application. The MsgFiler Engine 1.1 Mail Plugin is required for use with MsgFiler 3.1.
The release of OS X Mountain Lion has resulted in a number of changes to MsgFiler. Due to the Mac App Store’s sandbox requirements for applications, a number of features are temporarily or no longer available in MsgFiler 3, including:
MsgFiler 3 was previously relying on its ability to communicate with the System Events application in order to send keystrokes and commands to the Mail application. Since MsgFiler is now only able to communicate with the Mail application, these features unfortunately had to be removed.
Early adopters of Mountain Lion will have noticed that MsgFiler 3 (with the Engine) doesn’t work on the upcoming release of OS X. Fear not, as a new release of MsgFiler and the MsgFiler Engine Mail Plugin are coming soon.
Update July 25, 2012: Mountain Lion has been released, but unfortunately, MsgFiler is still in the “waiting for review” stage in the Mac App Store.
MsgFiler Engine version 1.0.8 is required for use on the recently released OS X 10.7.3.
MsgFiler Engine version 1.0.7 is now available. The new version adds support for OS X Lion 10.7.2 and displaying mailboxes of offline accounts.
Updates are available for MsgFiler Engine 1.0.5 and MsgFiler Mail Plugin 2.1.3. These bring compatibility updates to OS X Lion.
MsgFiler 3.0.4 brings OS X Lion compatibility, but there are two import caveats to keep in mind:

Pierre from Betalogue reviewed MsgFIler last month. He’s written about MsgFiler in the past. He covers some of the initial bumps that often come with a major redesign of any application.
However, much to Adam Tow’s credit, I must say that, within a week of the initial release, all of the problems were solved. Adam fixed the bugs that I had encountered, and explained what I needed to do to regain the ability to undo. It was stellar service and I was quite impressed.
The article also has a good discussion on the pros and cons of moving the app to be exclusive on the Mac App Store. There have been several requests to have a non-Mac App Store version of the app, but there is currently no timetable for its release at the moment.
MsgFiler 3.0.2 has been approved and is now available on the Mac App Store.
Improvements and bug fixes in MsgFiler 3.0.2 include:
Accompanying MsgFiler 3.0.2 is MsgFiler Engine 1.0.3. When using the Engine, mailbox loading times are dramatically faster.
MsgFiler is the fastest way to move, copy, and label messages in Mail. It also offers useful features for navigating and managing mailboxes.Dan Frakes, Macworld
