Hi, all

If you're one of those people who uses a custom parcel to configure  
your accounts, you'll probably find that launching the latest  
Chandler fails with a message that looks something like like:

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Error during parcel loading...

    File /Users/grant/Library/Parcels/grant/parcel.xml
    Line 35
    Reason: Referenced item doesn't exist: http://osafoundation.org/ 
parcels/osaf/current:IMAPAccount
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

If so, you will find a line in the parcel.xml that says something like:

     <currentItemOf itemref="current:IMAPAccount"/>

and you should change it to

     <currentItemOf itemref="current:MailAccount"/>


(This is because, with POP now supported, the current Mail account  
can be either IMAP or POP).

Hope this helps,

--Grant
