Greetings,
We are pleased to announce the release of PowerMail 5.6.2, available
free of charge to PowerMail 5 users, from:

> POWERMAIL 5.6.2 RELEASE NOTES - FEBRUARY 12TH, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------
>> Main fix
+ Fixed a hang that previously could occur when downloading certain
malformed (or should we say malevolently-formed) spam messages, such as
have appeared recently
>> Other fixes and enhancements
+ Successful porting to XCode 3.0 - while this should be a transparent
change, it has three implications for PowerMail users:
· Improves our ability to keep up with system changes, especially
on Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) and later
· Benefits from enhancements in code optimization and
acceleration provided by Apple
· Produces a significantly smaller binary than 5.6.1
+ Disk image includes the latest version of SpamSieve (2.6.6)
>> Known work-arounds [documented as of 5.6.2]
+ 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.
- END
