@webfork: posted "To use WebMail in nPOPuk v2.16, easily" to nPOPuk UpDate forums & re-posting comment replies @Sam & @longtime npop user ; don't know how to edit or delete comments, yet

@Sam: can make nPOPuk v2.16 NOT save messages from server after retrieval: File >> Global Options >> Recv Tab >> in lower Acct Messages Box: "Nothing Saved"

@longtime npop user: not keyboard friendly, but can change sort options by: Alt-F >> O (for Global Options) >> Shift-Tab >> (once on Global Options tabs use arrows to get to sort Tab) >> use Tabs and Space to change focused selection & make selection

@Orcus: since it is now duplicated to the forum topic, you could delete that long post of yours by clicking in the garbage bin icon to the right -- after copying and pasting it to an amended new comment with the forum URL, for example...

@Kea: added Win10 to system requirements. Tested in Windows 10 and works fine!

PopMan is great but unfortunately it seems to be abandoned. There is one thing I don't like about it- PopMan doesn't support Unicode.

- is not a valid win32 application

I've noticed a folder in AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Crash Reports containing a file "InstallTime20191031083309" and an empty folder "events."

Another folder: /AppData/Local/Thunderbird/updates/31986B0A98BCC43C

Also found this key in the registry: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Thunderbird\Crash Reporter

first 2 reg keys: let Dialog show on IE "Programs" tab, so it can be set as default reader

third entry: leaves path, so other programs find it. Start->Run "dialog", will use path in this reg key

How does it compare to PopPeeper? @Korkiss: PopPeeper got proxy settings.

The program is good, but needs an urgent update (no update from 2006-09-16),no POP-SSL support only beta plugins.

(Try POPman 1.3)

"This email notifier builds upon the open source PopTray mail notifier adding improved handling for unicode & utf-8 emails, and Vista/Win 7 compatibility fixes."

npop is working with gmail.

nPOP has been a long-time favorite of mine for doing previews, quick replies, etc. Emails I want to archive I then download to another -- usually clunkier and nonportable -- client.

But actually I use the nPOPQ offshoot, available here: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA003011/ ... because I like the interface better. I hope that gets updated.

nPOPuk not being compatible with old email messages is kind of dealbreaker, nice as it sounds.

I spoke too soon above on nPOPuk not being compatible with old email boxes. It imports settings and old emails from nPOP just fine. And it does have some useful features lacking in nPOP.

However, I still like the nPOPQ interface better: There the left column has accounts on top and address book on bottom, while the right side has messages on top and message preview on the bottom.

I recently moved away from Thundebird after 10 years use because everytime they update it, it breaks something or it runs slower. Slypheed is excellent. Its fast and reliable and doesn`t render html, which is exactly what I need.

@lux Maybe this was an earlier version? Now it stores all the data within the app folder, so portable.

@Kea: Thanks for the warning re. non-encrypted password storage. It's the same reason I ditched filezilla.

Not encrypting one's account info is lame for otherwise well thought out software.

Bye bye Sylpheed >.

@ Craunch: Thanks ... and updated ;)

I've been a satisfied Pegasus Mail user for 15+ years.

@Bruce
Before Pegasus Mail didn't save sent attachments, has this changed?

Couldn't get this to work with Hotmail (Sept 2016)

Hotmail needs SSL for upload and download. The program doesn't come will the SSL libraries but you can download and install them on the local computer from OpenSSL.

Got upload working with OpenSSL (32bit light ver) even though I'm on 64 Win7. POP3 wouldn't connect....using port 995 pop3.live.com. Popcorn listed SSL support as available from the about menu too. Could be that OpenSSL was complaining about missing C++ libraries at install (you can download that too) but that kind of misses the point for me. If you've got to install a load of software on the local computer to get the mail client to work then it's not really portable.

Anyone get this working with Hotmail?

Here's an update:

(German: http://eriedel.info/files/pcorn/popcorn.html)

@killingtime:

Because Popcorn is a 32bit application, you need the 32bit DLLs.
OpenSSL doesn't provide binary files but has some respective links. There's a portable version as well that is simply to be unzipped.
