YahooPOPs! is an open-source multi-platform web to POP3/SMTP gateway that allows the use of standard email clients like MS Outlook, Netscape, Opera, Eudora, etc to download emails from Yahoo Mail accounts. YahooPOPs!/Windows 0.6 has been released. This release is being released as a "Full Version" release only. An upgrade version is not being made available because of significant changes in the 3rd party libraries that YahooPOPs! uses. The file is available for download at http://yahoopops.sf.net/ This version is a consolidation of the two patches released by Daniel Bryg and Shane Hird. The changes include: * Headers only download * Case insensitive protocols * Improved RCPT TO handling * Limit on number of downloaded messages * The email list is dowloaded without parsing locale-dependent content * Improvement fixing many problems for international users * A section of CWebBrowser::FetchMailboxList() which determined the language used by the web interface have been removed * CWebBrowser::FetchMailboxList() scans the folder page only for message ids and presence of a link to the next page * Only headers are downloaded for "TOP n 0" command * With on-demand message download the limit affects the actual message (or headers) transmission, not the list of available emails * Compatibility with email clients that use protocol commands in lower case (bugfix thanks to David Murphy - glibdud) * Email::DeleteHeader() is made case insensitive as sometimes "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" was not removed * Address handling when sending has been rewritten to better emulate SMTP. * Further improvement of fixes for the "dot bug" * A bad pointer during expired session removal is fixed * Responses are dumped to files after unsuccessful login or headers/body download (improved debugging). * Code in CWebBrowser::DeleteEmails() is simplified to avoid redundancy * CWebBrowser::ConnectToYahoo() scans the mail page and logs the usage of mailbox quota (only for new login sessions) * Upgraded third party libraries to newer versions: * OpenSSL 0.9.7.c (from 0.9.7.a) * curl 7.11.2 (from 7.10.3) * Removed the need for a localization file with alternate parsing technique * Consequently, there is no need for shipping the libxml and iconv DLLs * This will result in small distributions and YahooPOPs.EXE requiring lesser runtime memory. * Incorporated two new command line parameters * "/SILENT" -> Add this if you do not want to be given a popup box if another YP is already running * "/QUIT" -> This will kill any running instance of YahooPOPs!. This is useful if you're running YP without an the icon hidden in the system tray. |
