Popcorn is an ultra-lightweight POP3/SMTP e-mail client. Being a true client/server application, it does not work in the same way as a typical mail program. This means that you're reading mail from the POP3 server directly, without downloading it to a local mailbox on your PC (you can save mail messages locally if you want to). This makes it ideally suited for "on the road" mail access, and for scanning, reading, and sending mail over slow Internet connections.
Latest changes:
- Password prompting has now been implemented for the "Use incoming (POP) server username and password" SMTP send authentication method
- Fixed a bug that caused some downloaded mail items to not show the correct status when they were only partially downloaded
- Fixed a bug that caused the All Profiles view not to appear when the "Get headers on startup" option was enabled
- Fixed some misc. usability issues with the All Profiles view caused by the change from a free floating dialog window to a docked view
- Better default values for Popcorn settings and account profiles when starting from scratch (no popcorn.ini file present)
- Removed the All Profiles "You have new mail..." notification pop-up dialog
- Added a standard message box question mark icon to the application already running dialog making it look like a Windows MessageBox()
- Optimized a couple of message and attachment download routines
- Error dialog suppression has been fine-tuned a bit more
