Email Clients Watch

A new version of Pine is now available which addresses bugs found in previous releases and has a few additions as well.

Additions include:

Even though Pine does not properly support the UTF-8 character set, the Allow-Version3-LDAP feature will cause Pine to go ahead and try to talk to an LDAP server which is a version 3 server. You will find this feature in the Setup/Directory screen. It is separately settable for each server you configure.

eMail2Pop has been updated due to minor GMail server updates.

eMail2Pop interfaces with AOL mail, Gmail and Outlook to provide POP3 and SMTP access to AOL Mail and Gmail accounts. eMail2Pop converts AOL and Gmail mail into a standard mail format. This means that users can retrieve their AOL / Gmail mail from almost any email program (Microsoft Outlook, Eudora mail, Incredimail, etc) instead of using proprietary mail software.

The latest release of Gmail Notify has corrected the authentication failure that appeared a month ago with 1.6 release.

Gmail Notifier is a Linux alternative for the notifier program released by Google, it is written in Python and provides an attractive and simple way to check for new mail messages.

SpamPal sits between your email program and your mailbox, checking your email as you retrieve it. Any email messages that it considers to be spam will be “tagged” with a special header; you simply configure your email client to filter anything with this header into a separate folder and your spam won’t be mixed up with the rest of your email anymore.

Latest Changes:

• Now removes any pre-existing (and possibly forged) SpamPal header lines
• Pop3: Fixed crash in prefetching
• Pop3: Now supports CAPA (ie “Capabilities”) command
• Pop3: Fixed unlikely buffer overflow when processing malformed LIST response
• IMAP4: Fixed crash in prefetching
• IMAP4: Fiddled with removal of \Seen flags from moved spam messages
• Public blacklists/DNSBLs: Fixed buffer overflow that was causing crashes
• Where supported, now uses Microsoft’s DNSAPI.DLL for DNS queries
• No longer does hostname lookups for w3.org and several other frequently-used domains
• Fixed issue where multiple public blacklist entries were querying the same resource;
• Transparent Proxy: a whole load of bugfixes
