I really miss the old and very easy to use free EasyEnvelopes widget on Mavericks - https://www.macworld.com/article/1046528/easyenvelopes.html . I've never been able to get it to work on 10.9.5 and it seems to phone home to direct you to their abandoned MAS version - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/easyenvelopes/id450882552 . Ambrosia Software folded a year ago - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambrosia_Software . Any guru like Wowfunhappy able to fix the puppy please?

Think CNET version is latest:

Changed title to reflect that the widget works

The version you linked is working fine for me on OS X 10.9.5. What's wrong with it?

Also, nice find, I didn't know about this one!

P.S. Feel free to add @Wowfunhappy—with the @ symbol—on this sort of thing so I get a notification.

Wow, I really effed up. I figured out why the widget hasn't worked for me for years, I denied the widget access to OS X's Contacts. Played around several times with uninstalling the widget via AppCleaner, but still had no success getting EasyEnvelopes to work. Finally enabled Dashboard within System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Contacts and voilà, EasyEnvelopes now works. I always cut and paste addresses into the widget, so with subsequent installs, I denied the app access to my Contacts during its install .

I really love Ambrosia's "EasyEnvelopes". Do you know if it works with Big Sur? I value "EasyEnvelopes" so much that I'm afraid to upgrade and can't find it in any compatibility lists.
