Actually I think v1.48 might be the last freeware version... Note the
last line section (below) for v1.50 - *Added a "Purchase Popcorn" item
to the "Help" menu *
It's nice to see it now supports smtp authentication though. I always
liked popcorn, but the lack of this in the past always forced me look
for alternatives.
Here's a section from the changelog:
-----------------------------------------------
Popcorn release 1.51 (25-September-2003)
Bug-fixes:
Popcorn would loose all RecentTo entries in the INI file when upgrading
from an earlier version (pre v1.50).
If you have multiple accounts/profiles, Popcorn would display a message
each time it started if it was not registered (freeware mode), you can
now choose to show this message only once.
Popcorn release 1.50 (24-September-2003)
New features:
Added an option that allows you to supress the "Get top nnn lines"
dialog when retrieving e-mails with attachments or e-mails over a
certain size. To enable it, set the "TopLinesPrompt" option to "TRUE"
(default value is "FALSE") in the Popcorn.ini file.
Bug-fixes:
Popcorn now ignores and removes all empty/blank RecentTo entries.
Enhancements:
Total re-write and optimization of settings/INI file read and write. The
new memory cached settings/INI file routines dramatically reduce the
applications startup and exit delays, and this should also end all
problems with antivirus and/or firewall software causing Popcorn to hang
when exiting (it no longer uses "old" Windows API calls for reading and
writing to the settings/INI file at all).
Re-wrote and optimized how Popcorn remembers/stores last message server
IDs in the All Profiles window. The first time you open the All Profiles
dialog, it will not remember how many mail items were on the accounts
listed, after you have checked all accounts once, it will work normally
again. The following variable/key can be safely deleted from
the"[PopcornSettings]" section of the Popcorn.ini file (if you feel
comfortable doing that): "LatestOnServerIDs".
Other:
Added a "Purchase Popcorn" item to the "Help" menu that will launch your
default browser and display information on how to purchase and register
Popcorn.
Added a "Register Popcorn..." item to the "Help" menu that will display
the Popcorn registration dialog.
The "Help" -> "About" (about box) will now show what mode Popcorn is
currently running in:
- Registered: No (freeware mode)
- Registered: Yes (registered/shareware mode)
Popcorn release 1.48 (26-August-2003)
Bug-fixes:
Popcorn no longer deletes the single highlighted/active/selected message
when one or more messages are checked for delete. You can still delete
messages that are only highlighted if more than one is selected, or when
no messages are checked and one message is highlighted.
Fixed minor size number bug causing e-mails between 1000 and 1024 bytes
to appear as 0KB in size.
