What's new in the PowerMail 4.2b3/final candidate (from version 4.2b1)

- Fixed a crash which would occur opn launching the application stright
off the disk image

no selected folder

(i.e. disk full, etc...)

their 30-day evaluation in an earlier version of PowerMail 4

- Fixe the Japanese-language bug introduced in b1
- Shortened the launch time
- Accelerated the selection of a message within a folder or list view
that would contain thousands of messages
- Removes an earlier limitation in PowerMail whereby a folder or list
view would only properly display its first 65535 or 32767 messages
- Added two more repair cases inside the "Verify consistency of database
records" option of PowerMail First Aid, for the following potential problems:
    + when the number of messages / unread messages displayed (or the
bold status of the folder) for a given folder is wrong
    + when there is an error "DB error 7 in 9" when opening the mail
browser, or if some mail folders seem to have disappeared
- Now includes french-language localization

Known limitations:
- Some b1-introduced IMAP problems are currently being fixed
