Dear PowerMail user,
The PowerMail team is pleased to announce that a new version is now
available for download and testing from:
<http://powermail.simplenet.com/pm5.5b2.dmg>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
> PowerMail Universal 5.5b2 (public beta) change list (from 5.2.3)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
> Highlights
- PowerMail is now a Universal application running natively on Intel and
PowerPC Macs, working on Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4. This project turned out
to be a 5-month major undertaking and underscores our commitment to
PowerMail's future.
- As a token of appreciation to our customers, we have decided to make
this upgrade free of charge to current PowerMail 5 users.
- On Intel-based Macs especially, you will notice much improvement in
stability as a result of the necessary rewrites, plus an overall
doubling of speed.
- The database format has been upgraded as well, in order for databases
to work interchangeably both on Intel and Power PC. Please note:
although this public beta version has been tested extensively in house,
positively make a backup of your existing PowerMail files and
application before upgrading and converting your data to 5.5 format.
- Core searching includes the latest optimizations shared with version
1.1 of FoxTrot Personal Search
> Fixes
- Messages retrieval is now disable when the database size approaches
the 2 GB limit.
- The connection to a POP server could previously hang in some
circumstances, especially with many simultaneous networking threads
- An error could occur when importing some PowerMail Exchange files
containing garbled attachment names
> Known limitation in b2
- Stuffit archive compression/decompression is disabled
