Thank you for your on-going interest in PowerMail. 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 !

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.
