What's new

v4.3.0.2005 [Sep 5, 2016]
* Many changes to enhance and correct DPI settings:
Initial window width is defined as 800 and will scale with DPI; previously, the minimum width was 890, but variably larger based on dpi (e.g. >=150% dpi)
Default Mail column widths have been re-assessed and now include DPI and font size for calcualtions
New "Use optimal column sizes" option on right-click header (account and mail); this will also be prompted after changing font
Main statusbar panes have been resized based on DPI
Account List can now be twice as wide as before
Desktop Alert fonts are resized based on DPI
Options lists are resized based on DPI (several locations)
Toolbars are resized based on DPI (Main, Message, SendMail, AntiJunk)
New graphics for many of the message list icons to better support resizing
Other miscellaneous graphics are resized based on DPI and/or available column sizes
Additional HTML Zoom levels have been added (300, 250, 175)
Custom HTML Zoom
Option windows: The list window now matches the height of the options-page window and list window now has 3D look (both were inconsistent depending on DPI in previous versions)
Tray Icon: will scale correctly for DPI; other changes to enhance legibility including a different font, no "3D" look on the color background, and the text color will always be either white or black
* New "notes" page for Accounts (edit account to access)
+ The "friend" (smiley) user flag will now only be applied when the sender is in your Address Book and not just white listed; this should make the icon more significant; to revert behavior: main menu: Tools / AntiJunk -> Settings / White List (advanced)
- A new method is used for HTML zoom that allows the zoom to occur before displaying the content instead of after (this can be significant when loading slow, remote images); related: navigation sounds are disabled
- For Hotmail IMAP with IDLE, POP Peeper will keep-alive the connection every 2 minutes (server address must be imap-mail.outlook.com)
- Server Info contains more information such as: last time successfully connected to account, last time error, text of last error, number of consecutive errors
- "Online" button is available on upgrade window to allow convenient access to the version list online
- AntiJunk: *@esumsoft.com is included as a default whitelist entry
- Fix: AntiJunk: Spam-reporting: In some cases, including multiple recipients in a single service may introduce extraneous characters into the field
- Fix: AntiJunk: Spam-reporting: When using a specific account to use for spam-reporting, the status would not get updated to indicate that the message has been reported (ie. whistle status)
- Fix: After re-activating Pro, the message list would not immediately update to reflect AntiJunk status (colors, filters)
- Fix: Certain types of emails that used relative URIs could cause POP Peeper to hang
- Fix: PPtweaker: Troubleshoot / IE emulation did not set emulation value correctly
- Fix: IMAP accounts that are disabled will no longer engage IDLE (note: accounts already in IDLE that are changed to disabled will not disconnect)
- Fix: Spell-Checker: The typographic apostrophe character (e.g. � - 0x92) is now considered the same as the ascii apostrophe (e.g. ' - 0x27) for better compatibility with languages like French that may use it
- Fix: In very rare cases, the default method used to play sounds may cause POP Peeper to hang, this can be fixed under main menu: Tools / PPtweaker; Troubleshooting: don't allow simultaneous sounds (enable only if necessary)
Skin Notifier v4.3:
- Fixes long-standing issues with DPI:
Most significantly, images will stretch to match DPI
Text will now fit as intended
- Optimizations to load skins more efficiently
- Default position is now bottom-right of window instead of center (when slider is disabled)
- Information is displayed instead of a blank white box if no skins are available
Plus Pack v4.3:
- No feature changes, version updated because some modules are affected by DPI changes
- Sent Mail Viewer: Fix in certain situation where SMV may crash at startup due to background process stopping automatically

v4.2 [Jun 22, 2016]
v4.2 - June 20, 2016:
* OAuth2 support for GMail, Yahoo and Outlook (IMAP/SMTP).
* Fix blurry text in Windows 10/8.1 when using >100% DPI (most noticeable at 125% dpi; system dpi aware).
+ IE emulation (for viewing HTML messages) can be adjusted -- main menu: Tools / PPtweaker / Troubleshooting.
+ An experimental method to change the email "date/time" field is available; the default will continue to use the most recent "Received" timestamp, but another method is provided which may be more suitable if you've transferred messages from another mailbox; see: http://www.esumsoft.com/products/pop-peeper/faq/?q=DateTimeHeader
- IE emulation will cap at IE10 for default setting.
- 256x256 icon now included in resources (related to DPI/high-res settings); this was previously excluded because it adds >256KB to the exe size; note: uncompressed file included as reports indicate it may crash on XP (tested with no crash, but insufficient evidence to warrant using compressed).
- Fixes and tweaks to the Import Account wizard; of particular note: accounts were defaulting to use Webmail instead of IMAP/POP3 contrary to changes made for the "single account" wizard in v4.0; "Login name" and "server" removed from display and "email address" will be displayed instead (unless the account name is the same).
- Fix: IMAP read-sync fixed for certain servers (GMail).
- Fix: PPtweaker: if prompted to save, pressing "cancel" was the equivalent of pressing "no" and close PPtweaker.
- Fix: SMTP EHLO will send ip address as required by strict servers.
- Fix: SMTP termination octet padding in attachments.
- Fix: When viewing a message and mark it as "Legitimate", images in the subsequent HTML view would not always display as expected until the message was re-loaded.
- Fix: POP Peeper would crash if ProfilePicture.dll wasn't loaded and changed 'facebook username' in addressbook entry.
- Fix: Modifying the "email" value for addressbook entry will spawn image lookup process (ie. for potential gmail.com and gravatar addresses).
- Fix: When POP Peeper is launched from the Installer, often, the Setup Wizard would appear behind other windows and be difficult to notice (especially since Setup Wizard doesn't appear in the TaskBar).
- Fix: When registering POP Peeper as email client, POP Peeper can now set itself as the default .eml handler without having to go through Windows Default Programs.
- Fix: AntiJunk / Reporting Spam services: In certain cases, drag&dropping a new item wouldn't preserve updated information.
- Plus Pack: Certain features (notably: Sent Mail Viewer and Backup/Restore) have been updated to receive the blurry-text fix.
- Plus Pack: Sent Mail Viewer: Opening a message from SMV should no longer open the message behind SMV (in case it wasn't previously fixed).

v4.1.1 [Jul 18, 2015]
Fix: Message limit for IMAP accounts would return 0 messages
Basic support for RDF format (e.g. craigslist.org)
Visual improvements to message display, including showing image enclosures inline.

v4.0.1 [Jul 27, 2013]
- Pro (AntiJunk): New option to ignore/skip AntiJunk for certain accounts (access under Account/Advanced); this is particularly useful if you're accessing spam folders and/or using the "hide from *all accounts*" option
- Pro (AntiJunk): "Delete Junk" action has been enhanced: you can now assign an additional action (e.g. minimize PP) and has a "don't prompt again" setting
- Pro (AntiJunk): When multiple filters (e.g. Rule) apply a different user flag, the one with the higest precedence will be used; previously, it would always use the first user flag applied which prevented a Rule to apply a user flag if the sender was in your white list (friend user flag). "Precedence" is calculated by the display order.
- Error log window now supports clickable links (error messages from server may contain links)
- If the new version prompt appears and you select "don't ask again" it only applies to that version; if another new version is subsequently released, you will receive the update notification
- Fix: Potential crash involving IMAP/IDLE and servers that don't provide a reliable connection
- Fix: SendMail: Certain locales couldn't parse standard timestamp and would prevent sending messages due to mis-calculated age
- Fix: Pro activation window may not appear when required
- Fix: Issues with VersionCheck preventing updates (including WebMail) from working correctly
- Fix: Log window will save to file immediately if enable "save changes" (instead of memory only)
- Fix: Issues with High-contrast themes

v3.8.1.3002 [Feb 12, 2011]
- New connection option, "Assume always online" for certain internet connection types
- New option to adjust font size for HTML-based messages
- Fix: Imap: Idle wouldn't engage if polling interval was even number
- Fix: Imap: Potential crash when using SSL and server disconnects unexpectedly
- Improved Date/Time formatting parsing for certain languages
- Fix for archiving webmail-based messages
- Fix for reply-to when including a name
- Fixes for some cases where HTML view wasn't using the correct character set
- Fix for checkmail trayicon showing even if relevant setting was disabled
- Fix: when viewing HTML, links with anchors would not open to the anchor and just open at the top of the webpage
- Fix: Size column is right-justified
- Fix: When viewing a message in HTML and clicking on a link, the anchor wasn't being sent to the browser (when applicable)
- Fix: In certain cases, an empty account name was allowed to be created
- Checking accounts using a folder will result in error if Add-on Pack isn't activated
- License filepath can be specified via ini parameter
- Imap: Misc fixes
- Imap: "Deleted" is detected as an alternate name for "Trash" folder
- Smtp: consecutive errors will suspend further attempts to send the message
