Greetings, We are hereby pleased to announce the availability of PowerMail 4.2 beta 6/ final candidate 3, which can be directly downloaded from: ============================================= <http://www.powermailtech.com/pm4.2b6fc3.sit> =============================================
This release is NOT public; it is exclusively aimed at members of the PowerMail-discuss and PowerMail-testing lists, as well as to folks who kindly tested b1 and reported items that we may have fixed below: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What's new in the PowerMail 4.2b6/final candidate 3 (from version 4.2b3) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - The number of unread/waiting messages could be wrong (sometimes negative); if you have a database which still shows this in this new version, hold the command and option keys upon startup and check consistency, which will fix this - Under Classic and Mac OS 9 / 8.6, we now warn when there is less than 1Mb of memory available instead of a mere 256k; this would be an advance warning sign that searching might fail unless given more memory - Rebuilding the sort indices in PowerMail First Aid no longer messes up the order of settings lists such as accounts, signatures and text clippings - AppleScripts saved by Script Editor 2.0b2 can now be placed in in the Scripts folder and will display in the AppleScripts menu - APOP login only worked when the "Always use APOP" was checked; what we inteded to do initially, and now do properly, is try APOP in all cases and only try USER/PASS in case of failure unless the user explicitely requires it. - Replied IMAP messages were not marked as such - Mac OS 8.6 compatibility is now fixed Known limitations: This release is not packaged as a disk image but simply as a Stuffit archive - Command-F should select the search field (when the search window was already opened in background) - In the release version, we will cease to import OS X address book items which contain no e-mail addresses - A couple of command-key equivalents will be updated - The final version will also have other localized languages * * * * * * * Please discuss your findings either: - on the PowerMail discussion list - using the "Send a message to PowerMail support" option in the Help menu of registered versions - if needed, by private post to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Possible crash logs - with a description of the situations that might have lead to them, are also of interest. Thanks in advance, and kind regards, The PowerMail development team
