Greetings,
We are pleased to announce the release of PowerMail 5.6.1, available
free of charge to PowerMail 5 users, from:
<http://www.ctmdev.com/download/>
--------------------------------------------------------
> POWERMAIL 5.6.1 RELEASE NOTES - DECEMBER 13TH, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------
>> Main fix
+ Incidental to the Leopard Keychain bug fix contained in 5.6, there may
have been a crash once after modifying an account's password. This is
now fixed.
>> Known work-arounds [documented as of 5.6.1]
+ The method for accessing passwords stored in keychains had to change
for Leopard compatibility, but due to what appears to be an Apple bug,
some older passwords may not be found and need to be re-entered once on
first usage. Fortunately this is only a one-time event, once the
passwords are re-entered, life can go on.
+ If you store your passwords in the keychain, make sure it is unlocked
while using PowerMail on Leopard - Apple has changed its security
policies and you may now be prompted for a keychain password at every
fetch if the keychain is locked (one alternative is to store passwords
in PowerMail's settings and not use the keychain for these).
+ On systems with Safari 3 installed, selecting text in an HTML message
for copying requires double-clicking on the first word to be selected,
then shift-clicking on the last word.
>> Other fixes and enhancements
+ Disk image includes the latest version of MisFox, now a preference pane
--------------------------------------------------------
> POWERMAIL 5.6 RELEASE NOTES - DECEMBER 10TH, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------
>> New search features and performance increase (please see full release
notes on disk image for syntax examples)
+ Occasional searches on large databases are now much faster, as the
index optimization phase is now performed transparently
+ No longer will you see a "Optimizing index" modal dialog at the
beginning of a search !
+ Searching using "matches the search pattern" option now supports
excluded words inside quoted strings
+ Searching using "matches the search pattern" option now supports
exclusion of exact phrases
+ Searching using "matches the search pattern" or "includes at least one
of the words" options now allows to combine multiple quoted strings (in
addition to multiple simple words) with an OR operator (using the
vertical bar | in case of "matches the search pattern")
+ You may now specify words to be found within a given proximity range
+ You can now search exact strings within a given proximity range
>> Leopard compatibility
+ On Mac OS X 10.5, scheduled connections could fail if the account's
password was saved in the keychain
>> Other fixes and enhancements
The maximum number of messages, during the demo period, has been
multiplied five-fold to 1000 messages in order to improve the ability to
properly evaluate PowerMail.
+ When the default character set for outgoing message is UTF-8, messages
that only contains characters from the ISO-8859-1 charset were sent in
UTF-8, instead of ISO-8859-1 as required - this has been fixed.
+ Disk image includes the latest version of SpamSieve

Subject: powermail quits when connected without waiting for user interaction

Whenever I'm connected to IMAP and select quit I get a dialog saying
"you're connected. Do you really want to quit?" and the choice of "Quit
Anyway" and "Abort". Before I can make a choice and click Powermail
quits on me.
Isn't the expected behaviour PowerMail waits for the chosen action?
Could someone of you guys please confirm this behaviour before I send a
bug report?

I have noticed this as well. The trouble is that I think I might be
behind on version, now 5.2.1.
It happens when connected via pop also. Once in a while it waits.

Perhaps this is what is happening
PowerMail decides to get mail
You decide to quit while it is getting mail
PowerMail puts up a dialog warning you
PowerMail finishes getting mail
PowerMail closes the dialog for you, and then quits
This is the behavior I have seen (I don't use IMAP), and it seems
consistent and useful to me, and exactly what I want PM to do.
