Update... contrary to previous post (must be getting brain fade), what I have done is: Uninstalled 6.13.14 through control panel (as requested when downgrading) Installed 6.7.6 and allowed synchronisation to complete (obviously, many files) Created a new Note Synchronised So far so good, except that my local articles file had disappeared Signed out of account The 'Local Articles Archive' reappeared (that was easy) Signed into account... the 'Local Articles Archive' disappeared again Spell Checker F7 works (yipeee!) I'll work on the 'missing' local notes folder Th

Thank you CalS... I wouldn't be so bold as to disagree with you but, yesterday, two separate Windows PCs of mine running 6.7.6 could not sync... I will roll back to 6.7.6 from 6.13.14.7474 (307474) Public (CE Build ce-48.0.5483) and post back here. In either event, thank you for your help. However, if you and Dave are correct (which I accept is very likely to be the case), the email and posting from ' the leader of Evernote's security team ' is highly misleading. Will roll back and repost ASAP.

Hi Todd, I'm not aware of a Mac version... am aware that was where your 'wish' started but, as you mentioned Windows at the bottom of your post, I thought I'd make this suggestion. Sorry, haven't got a Mac but https://alternativeto.net/software/stickies/?platform=mac might prove of some use to you; seems 'Alternote' has Evernote integration.

You're quite correct, this is the "Evernote Sticky Notes" App which one can still download at https://filehippo.com/download_evernote_sticky_notes/ ... but do do use the helpful instruction at http://getgui.com/blog/windows/evernote-sticky-notes-error-411-length-required-on-request-activation-link-to-re-authorize-user-account-sync-notes/#solution or you won't be able to link it to your Evernote account.

... just thought to also mention that you can create/edit/delete the Sticky Note directly through Evernote (Individual Sticky Notes are saved in a Notebook called 'Sticky Notes')

So, the leader of Evernote's security team has instructed us to upgrade from Evernote for Windows versions 6.4–6.7 to protect ourselves from a vulnerability; very laudable. Unfortunately, more recent versions are missing a spellchecker (in the sense of an F7 with/without custom dictionary). I had previously upgraded and rolled back to maintain the spellchecker but now... So now, if you use Evernote, all you get is a red squiggly line under a typo which you have to manually correct/add to dictionary. ... and a dictionary can no longer be shared across devices so,

... as you mentioned Windows, there is 'Sticky Notes' which works fine but (to save you lots of time), there is a very helpful instruction at http://getgui.com/blog/windows/evernote-sticky-notes-error-411-length-required-on-request-activation-link-to-re-authorize-user-account-sync-notes/#solution ... the only thing I have found not to work across multiple devices is the colour of the note.
