Hi, I have a problem, for some time now, with the "indicating messaging" icons indicating the message status. It seems that almost all my emails are being indicated as SPAM by default....?! I have use the Whitelist/Blacklist from 'Poptray' v3.2 and also all the rules I had. For some reason (along the way) whatever rule I had and whatever was in the Whitelist/Blacklist wasn't working. So, I uninstalled 'PopTrayU' completely (also the Whitelist/Blacklist), rebooted and installed 'PopTrayU' again. So...

Will PoptrayU work in the future ? Currently, as of August 1, 2025, Google Workspace accounts no longer support applications that rely solely on username and password authentication. This includes third-party email clients and other apps that use protocols like IMAP, POP, SMTP, CalDAV, and CardDAV. Instead, you must use OAuth 2.0 to grant these applications access to your Google Account

try dieectly going to the app passwords url. They (perhaps intentionally) make it hard to find. https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords Unfortunately oauth2 is a pay-to-play platform, requiring a large financial investment to aaccess emails via the interface, which doesn't fit wirh the open source model unless a major company is backing the project financially (hence how thunderbird can afford)), so development has been mostly discontinued due to eternal factors. Wish it wasn't so, but here we...

Changes to google account - as of March 2025 will be discontinuing less secure login Any programs that do not fully support OAuth2.0 (sign in with google) will no longer be able to log into google account for sync once app passwords stop working App passwords no longer show up on google account to use with mail program so I cannot add email to mail program anymore is there a way to use the program without this ability?

Thanks Jessica! 🙂 This is highly valuable information on why it's unlikely that PoptrayU will ever support OAuth2. Much appreciated. Thanks for sharing! 👍

l've looked into addding OAuth2 support,but the biggest obstacle is that OAuth2 is a pay to play platform… it's a big part of how they authenticate and prevent bad players… hosts have to spend an obscene amount of money for essentially a n background check. To work around that is really clunky and would require each user to set up their own sandbox oauth2 host not subject to commercial requirements. So unfortunately, no plans ro implement oauth2

Hi Outlook.com now forces the use of OAuth2. Any plan for a PopTrayU update ? Alternatively is there a workaround ? Thanks

As the subject says. The settings are set so set that the server trash folder is NOT used. Deleting one or more mails from the list of new mails doesn't work most of the time. Deleting while inside a preview works always. Setting to use the server trash folder doesn't change the behaviour. Using version 5.3.0 together with a Web.de account.

This option doesn't display new mail. It just animates while checking for new mail.

I'm having the same problem. PoptrayU has no problem fetching the email headers from Zoho, but when I try to preview an email, the preview window opens then immediately closes with the error message, "Unable to retrieve message. Connection closed gracefully." I have no problem with my main email client (Thunderbird), and Zoho says that they don't see an error thrown when PoptrayU tries to access the server. I've checked SSL/TSL, and I'm on port 995.

Oleg, it depends on the settings you picked when you installed poptrayu. the ini file may be in your user data folder (under c:\users) under your username and appdata and poptrayu.

Hello friends! I don't have a poptray.ini file. Where could it be? !

M.S. posted a comment on discussion Bug Reports
I have caused the error myself! I made it too easy for myself and used the PopTray.ini from version 5.0.15 for version 5.3.0 to save me having to create the accounts again. The PopTray.ini from version 5.0.15 is too old and not compatible with version 5.3.0. I reinstalled version 5.3.0, re-created the accounts and it works fine.

Not confirmed here. I had Beta 5.2.9 installed and have now replaced just the PopTrayU.exe with the version 5.3.0.1 No such problems, the Intervall check is running fine and I can check manual without problems

I'm using PoptrayU 5.0.15 with t-online and Yahoo mail on Windows 10 so far. For Yahoo mail I had to create an app password at Yahoo for it to work. I have now updated PoptrayU to 5.3.0. The interval check only works once. When I check again, I get an error message for all accounts and have to kill the task for PoptrayU. I only have the PopTray.ini and Rules.ini from PoptrayU 5.0.15 transferred to version 5.3.0 -- Regards VanFlusen mailto:VanFlusen@yahoo.com

How do I keep gmail on the server after emails on poptrayU refreshes ?
-
I very seldom use my Gmail account so for me personally it's not a big deal. (I haven't even enabled 2-Step Verification on my Gmail account.)
-
PoptrayU released /Source Code/PopTrayU 5.3.0 source.zip
-
-
yes, can confirm that PopTrayU is only available as a 32 bit application. This is due to the version of Delphi developer studio that I own being not expensive enough to include the 64 bit features. I have created an updated installer for the SSL plugin for 1.0.2u as well over at the PopTrayU SSL plugin page on sourceforge
-
tag 5.0.3 release
-
remove obsolete file
-
updated history log
-
Change: IMAP should not count read messages toward the count of new messages (in tray or on account tab title. (also: fix status bar that was decrementing progress instead of incrementing)
-
FIX: Remove IMAP label feature was not showing the list of labels correctly.
-
Fix: Test account was not showing up enabled correctly.

clean up of previous revision, remove unused variable, rename variable

Fix bug: message list font name not updated immediately on options panel after changing.

The URL for getting the app specific password for gmail is here: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
-
Until OAuth2 is implemented, Gmail requires an "app specific" password: Get one here: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords I'm running into some hurdles as currently you need a domain name and support emails to even sign up for an OAuth2 account, and currently this is not setup

Add option to display icon as number only (to allow larger number text). Can be set via ini file, no GUI option for this (yet)

gmail is tricky because they strongly prefer oauth2 authentication and the library poptrayu uses foremail protocols doesn't support that, so I'm going to have to reinvent the wheel a bit to implement that… and that probably won't be coming until august or september when i have time to work on implementing that. until then, you have to change your asettings to allow access by "less secure" apps,or set up an app specific password. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833

PopTrayU alternatives - https://alternativeto.net/software/poptrayu/ But there is no way I would replace PopTrayU with one of those.

PopTrayU is pretty buggy for me like I can't preview. :( I wonder if Jessica is ever coming back. I see lots of hackings in http://poptrayu.sourceforge.net/news/. I hope the sources and binaries aren't tampered too. :(

Did you ever find a free replacement? PopTrayU is too old and buggy for my brand new 64-bit W10 Pro PC. :(
-
I see it too in my brand new 64-bit W10 Pro PC. I can't even preview (download gets stuck). :(

No updates since May 2018! It's somewhat buggy too. Is there another free e-mail checker client like it for 64-bit W10 (Pro)? Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
-
Yeah, I had to use 32-bit since 64-bit didn't work in my new 64-bit W10 Pro PC.

Downloading gets stuck. Aborting it sometimes crashes. Annoying. I can see list of e-mails and delete them without previewing them though. I am using https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-1.0.2u-i386-win32.zip and a new (4 days old), updated 64-bit W10 Pro PC. Maybe I need a new free e-mail checker client. :( Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

I am tremendously grateful for all the excellent work you have done over the years with PopTrayU. Hope you get as smooth and uncomplicated a move as is ever possible. Cheers!

Sorry I don't have time to work i this immediately. We're in the middle of moving. Hopefully Jan or Feb I can look into finding an oauth2 library to add support for that login protocol

Yahoo has announced that it will make changes on 10/20 preventing logins from "third party apps" like PopTray without certain changes. Aside from downloading their app (which I don't want) the other option is to generate a third-party app password to use, but unfortunately, they say that will only work if you remain logged in to the app, which means never turning off any machines.

I added an address to the black list, which is set to delete items found there; I then asked poptrayU to check mail. It did so, but the blacklisted item was still there. I checked the blacklist itself, and the address was there. I then restarted PTU and checked again. This time the item was deleted. This suggests that PTU isn't re-loading the blacklist when it's changed. (My recollection is that PopTray did so, but I could be wrong). At any rate, I offer this as a suggestion, one that's presumably...

Jessica. I'm afraid it's a persistent problem. When Poptrayu checks an account and encounters error 10054, each and every time it tries to check that account from now on, manually or automaticaly, it will always encounter error 10054 and it is not a connection problem because by restarting PoptrayU completely, that is, closing the program and running it again, the problem disappears. Yes, error 10054 is a legitimate TCP error. The problem is that PoptrayU does not solve it correctly.
