With the help of the numerous testers who wrote in their comments and opinions, we are pleased to announce the availability of PowerMail 2.0 in final candidate form. You can download this from your browser at: http://powermail.simplenet.com/PowerMail_2.0_fin_candidate.hqx or follow the link on the CTM home page at http://www.ctmdev.com Our purpose in releasing this version is to reproduce and correct any fatal/crashing bug before our official release next week. If you notice such a situation, please let us know ASAP *even if you had previously filed a report* by e-mailing feedback@ctmdev.com. As far as requests for feature, structural and design changes are concerned, we do welcome them for our next major release (2.1), but will not be able to address those until after 2.0 is released. 2.1 will be a free upgrade for 2.0 customers. PowerMail 2.0f1 will expire on May 10th, 1998. Although CTM has made all due efforts in order to make your evaluation of this program a pleasure, as with any pre-release version of software we encourage you to use common sense with respect to the integrity of your files. We recommend that you start with a fresh preferences file and mail database. Thank you for taking the time to try out PowerMail. We hope that you will enjoy using our program and welcome your comments ! The CTM PowerMail team feedback@ctmdev.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PowerMail 2.0 release notes: This version is feature complete, but we do know of the following issues: - IMAP: We are waiting for a few replies with test accounts from some of you in order to correct specific problems in dealing with Communigate, Sun Solstice and Cyrus IMAP accounts. - Speed of opening/sorting of large address books is temporarily shameful - Documented a condition where a receiving message which contains corrupt headers causes a cosmetic overwrite in the mail browser. - Memory settings: The final candidate of PowerMail is a bit slower and has significantly larger memory requirements than the release version, due to the fact that we left some debug information in the application to facilitate diagnosis. As such, we currently recommend the following settings: 2500k-3000k on PowerPC with virtual memory on, 4500k on a 68k Macintosh and 5500k-6000k on PowerPC with VM off. As installed, PowerMail will be set to use the most amount of memory, but feel free to experiment in tailoring the memory allocation to your needs. - Occasional conflicts have been reported with Adobe Type Reunion and the Extension/menu portion of URL Manager Pro 2.0. Both of these seem fixed when the application is given a bit more memory. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Reminder: What is PowerMail PowerMail is an e-mail client for MacOS that combines powerful features with a clear, intuitive, and easy-to-use interface. PowerMail supports multiple e-mail accounts, both POP and IMAP, has advanced indexing and searching capabilities, and supports multiple languages and script systems. This message is being sent to you because you communicated with us, reported a bug or otherwise expressed interest about PowerMail in the past. (if you wish to stop receiving such occasional information, please send a message to: requests@ctmdev.com with the subject: unsubscribe powermail-announce) PowerMail 2.0 is being developed by a dedicated team of five Macintosh software developers who are determined to meet the needs of demanding users of electronic mail. We think that an e-mail client can be powerful and full-featured and still have an elegant interface and be easy to use. We have implemented the features commonly found in leading e-mail applications (multiple accounts, filtering, encoding, enclosure management) while offering a unique focus on the following areas: Mobile usage: * PowerMail's IMAP4 functionality lets users display and manipulate the contents of server-based mailboxes without having to download all messages. It is a convenient, standards-based successor to LAN e-mail systems such as QuickMail or Microsoft/Quarterdeck/StarNine mail. * For users of the widespread POP3 services, we have added the ability to minimize PPP connection durations by converting and indexing messages once off line, in addition to deferring periodic mail checking until a PPP connection is active. Find by content: * By including support for Apple's Information Access Toolkit, PowerMail offers unparalleled speed in searching archived mail message content as well as relevance-ranked searches. * PowerMail's ability to import and export messages--notably from Eudora mailboxes--makes it easy to start enjoying the benefits of find-by-content using your existing mail archives. If you use Claris Emailer, we recommend the Export-Eudora script available from ftp://ftp.fogcity.com/pub/Emailer/2.0/ImportExport3.1.hqx to create files which PowerMail can import. World-ready: * Because the Internet connects users of many languages, we have focused on meeting the needs of simple and complex languages alike, and allow for messages to be written and read in Japanese, Korean, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Arabic, Persian, Cyrillic (Bulgarian, Russian, and Ukrainian), Hindi, Sanskrit, Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi, and Nepali text (using any of three Indian writing systems: Devanagari, Gujarati, and Gurmukhi) in addition to all accented Western languages (English, French, German, Italian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish and others). WHAT YOU NEED TO RUN POWERMAIL 2.0 PowerMail 2.0 requires a Power Macintosh or 68K Macintosh running System 7.5.5 or later with Open Transport. PowerMail requires the Text Encoding Converter version 1.3. or later and Internet Config (these are installed by PowerMail). In addition, you need either a network or dial-up TCP/IP connection to the internet and an internet e-mail account, either POP3 (Post Office Protocol) or IMAP4 (Internet Mail Access Protocol). You will also need the account information from your network administrator or Internet Service Provider in order to configure PowerMail. -- Clueless newbie and proud of it.
