Popcorn is a freeware ultra-lightweight POP3/SMTP/ESMTP e-mail client, free from unwanted and useless bloatware features. Being a true client/server application, it does not work in the same way as a typical mail program. This means that you're reading mail from a POP3 server directly, without downloading it to a local mailbox on your PC (although you can save mail messages locally if you want to). This makes it ideally suited for "on the road" mail access, and for scanning, reading and sending mail over slow internet connections
-------------------------------------
What is new in Popcorn release 1.40 ?
New features:
Popcorn now has partial support for MIME decoding of the message body. You can toggle decoding on/off through the mail viewer context pop-up menu (saved in the Popcorn settings file):
- Display Message Body -> Raw -- Displays the raw (encoded) body
- Display Message Body -> Decoded -- Displays decoded body
It only works with MIME Content-Transfer-Encoding schemes that Popcorn supports, which is currently limited to "quoted-printable" (western non-english characters), "7bit", "text/plain", "text/html" (decode only, no display) and "8bit" encoding with more to come in the future. Unknown MIME type parts are left untouched.
Popcorn now supports the "mailto:" protocol, allowing it to be set as the system default mail client. To enable this functionality, edit the "Popcorn_MailTo.reg" (registry) file to point to the Popcorn install directory ("C:\Program Files\Popcorn\Popcorn.exe"), run the .reg file, and then use the Internet Options control panel applet to set Popcorn as the standard/default e-mail program.
By setting the "MinimizeOnClose" option to "TRUE" (default value is "FALSE") in the Popcorn.ini file, Popcorn is minimized instead of closing the program itself altogether when you click on the main window close "x" button.
Recent to address lists (To:, Cc: and Bcc: fields) in the mail editor are now sorted alphabetically by default. To use "last in first out" sort order, set the "RecentToSort" variable in the Popcorn.ini file to "FALSE".
Popcorn now remembers and restores the size and position of the "Mailbox info for all profiles" dialog.
Double clicking on an account in the "Mailbox info for all profiles" dialog list view will reset it's status.
Built by a subset of the Mozilla team, but smaller, faster, easier to work with, and generally much better; in important respects (toolbar) it is more customizable. Some, including this writer, have found Firebird from v0.2 to date to be considerably more solid, stable, and generally usable in the real world than the latest Opera 6 and any of the other Mozilla productions. Just unzip to its own folder preserving subfolders, and run MozillaFirebird.exe. Email and news are not included, but just pick something small and light with MAPI and you're in. Firebird does MAPI better than IE! On most desktops you will want to add Sun's Java VM.
-------------------------------------
What's NewNew default theme
Mozilla Firebird 0.6 sports a crisp, fresh and attractive theme, based on the amazing Qute theme by Arvid Axelsson. Also, the new theme has icons for the Bookmark Manager toolbar.
Redesigned Preferences window
The new Options window puts the most often used preferences into seven convenient panels, each with a descriptive icon selector.
Improved Privacy Options
With a single click (and a confirmation) you can clear all privacy data including form data, history, cache, cookies, etc.
Improved Bookmarks
Among other bookmark enhancements, the Bookmarks menu now features a context menu. Try it by right-clicking on a bookmark in the menu.
Talkback enabled
You are now able to submit Talkback information when Mozilla Firebird crashes, which makes it much easier for developers to fix critical bugs. For more information read about Talkback in the FAQ.
Automatic Image Resizing
With this feature, Mozilla Firebird shrinks any image that is bigger than the window to make the whole image visible. When this is done, the cursor over the image changes to tell you that if you click, the image is restored to full size. Instructions on how to disable this feature can be found here.
Smooth Scrolling
Instructions on how to disable this feature can be found here.
Access to more preferences
You are now able to edit lots of advanced preferences that are not exposed in the Options window by entering about:config in the location bar and press Enter.
Profile Chrome
You can now install Mozilla Firebird extensions in your own profile folder instead of in the actual program folder. This means that you will be able to upgrade to new versions of Mozilla Firebird without losing all your extensions. Note that it's up to the extension authors to allow their extensions to use this functionality. Some extensions may not offer this as an option yet.
Mac OS X
Mozilla Firebird is available for Mac OS X. It's still quite rough around the edges but it's a start.
Lots of bug fixes
There have been too many bug fixes since Phoenix 0.5 to keep track of them all. It's better. Trust us ;-)

MailWasher is a spam detection and mail preview tool that allows you to check the mail on the server and delete any spam before you download it to your local computer. It can notify you when new mail arrives and automatically mark suspicious messages, so you can preview and delete them. There are 3 levels of spam detection, and you can specify your own filters. MailWasher also offers the option to exclude your friends from spam checking and verify email addresses against DNS blacklist servers. In addition to deleting the spam mail, you can also choose to send a fake bounce message, which will make your email address appear invalid to the sender.

Improved Hooks to eliminate conflicts with Hooks in other programs.
Found IPB v1.2 very stable during our private testing and surprisingly problem free. We've fixed over 150 bugs over the last week and we can't take it any further until we start the public BETA testing period. So here we are.
It is a BETA and bugs should be expected, however, we have had an extensive private BETA testing period which has fixed up nearly all of the easily reproducible bugs. With this in mind we can see no reason why you shouldn't use this BETA in a production environment. It's always prudent to back up important data before upgrading and this situation is no different.
The convertors available for download will not work properly with v1.2 - we'll be updating those this week - including the improved vB2 convertor with attachment and avatar support.
Our flag-ship product is Invision Board PHP. Written in PHP, the webs fastest developing scripting language combined with the ever popular mySQL database system allows us to create a feature packed and efficient system. Invision Board PHP will also be able to support pgSQL and MS-SQL.
Invision Board also features a Perl API for those who wish to integrate Invision Board's features with their existing Perl scripts. The Perl API allows you access to many functions while remaining native Perl.
