Hi Kea, I just took a look at Koma-Mail v3.83 and I can't find ANY obvious way to switch the ONLINE mode on or off. I downloaded the user manual, (web pages), and can find 2 references to it but no means of doing it. I also sent an email 'Koma-Code' but haven't had a reply as yet.

Still, it seems to be working anyway.

Technomancer on 2015-01-26 20:44

OK. I'm still using KomaMail and I still like it. I've set the 'Check Mail' time to 5 Minutes but it does't seem to automatically check at all.
If anyone CAN contact the author I think Komamail is well worth continuing to develop it and with the feedback from this forum it could be excellent.

Technomancer on 2015-01-26 20:55

OOPS!
I forgot. It's a shame that KomaMail isn't Open Source then someone could 'debug' and develop it. The athors web page doesn't seem to have been updated since 2004

I have used this PIM for many years however since Yahoo inflicted their new security measures I have been unable to download messages from my Yahoo account, I have followed all the instructions provided by Yahoo to add Essential PIM to the list of message services but to no avail.

Even Anton at Astonsoft could not help as his recommendations were exactly the same as those from Yahoo.

EssentialPIM free since version 9 can not add e-mail account Google (Gmail) or Microsoft (Outlook) - fails 2-step verification (OAuth).

webfork: Because it's their preferred portable build. Not everyone will need the full package. The lite / portable build should be sufficient for people building a website for testing locally and on the go.

olliebean on 2018-10-19 14:51

Just for clarification, is the full version portable? Because the only version labelled "portable" at the download link appears to be the lite version, without FTP or Mail.

All programs that claim to do password auditing should work this way. Admins don't need to know the actual password, just if its complex enough.

Mixture on 2019-04-03 09:55

@webfork, any software that can find out about how many numbers, upper case letters, lower case letters, symbols, punctuation characters, and length of a password, like Password Security Scanner, could be exploited to reveal the actual password itself. These kind of programs are very dangerous in that respect. That's why I'll never use Password Security Scanner.

Had trouble with Canadian sites. For example, www.cbc.ca is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Claimed the domain is not registered.

www.cbc.ca worked for me.
I also tried www.lastampa.it (Italy) >>OK
www.guardian.co.uk (UK) >> OK
www.lefigaro.fr (France) >> OK

Why is MailPassView listed as a Similar/alternative app? MailPassView's function is much narrower. It only recovers passwords from email clients, and does not look for product keys. recALL recovers passwords from many different classes of program and also finds license keys. You don't even put the two programs in the same category. You have recall listed under Security - Product Key Recovery, while you have MailPassView under Security - Password Recovery.

What's new? 1.99 update 3 - 21-August-2012

Bug-fixes:
  • Fixed an issue introduced in release 1.99 that caused mail sending to fail if the SMTP server supported the CRAM-MD5 authentication method.

1.99 update 2 - 06-July-2012

New features:
  • Added support for TLS encrypted SMTP communication via the STARTTLS command making Popcorn compatible with mail servers that require it like Hotmail. TLS can be turned on in the the "Tools" -> "Email Accounts" dialog "Identity & Servers" tab by checking "Use SLL / TLS". When enabled, TLS encryption will be used if the server supports it for all ports except 465 which uses SSL.

1.99 update 1 - 29-June-2012

New features:
  • Added support for attachment forwarding if the selected mail has any downloaded attachments. You will now be asked if you want to forward them, and if you choose yes, they will appear in the mail editor "File Attachment" dialog as usual.
  • Added an "Open File Location" item to the the mail editor "File Attachment" dialog context pop-up menu that will open an explorer window with the selected file attachment location + highlighting the file.
  • Added support for column sorting in the mail editor "File Attachments" dialog (by path or size).

Bug-fixes:
  • The toolbar combo box edit control for setting the "Number of latest mail to download" did not respond to Delete and Backspace keyboard events because they got eaten by the main window accelerators. They are now intercepted before the accelerators kick in, so the keys should now work as expected (i.e. text can be deleted). Also updated the same control to only accept numerical input.
  • Fixed a very obscure and probably 10+ year old bug that in very rare cases would reset changes done to account settings outside of the "Tools" -> "Email Accounts" dialog if it is opened and Cancel or Close (Esc) is selected.

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?

computernerd on 2017-01-08 15:25

@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.

Using this program for months now. Great discrete, simple tool.

It is a shame that HotKeyz has been discontinued without being made open-source. I still like it very much and still use it every day- it is very easy to configure. HotKeyz still works fine on Windows 8.

I love it. It makes ma Yahoo mail account usable. Only 1 problem: if you delete the email in your email program the file will be downloaded agsain until it is deleted on yahoo or whatever web mail you use.

weird thing! but i like it and it works without problems.
you have to get used to it to realize that it works properly: e.g. right-clicking means "closing".
some of the functions are quite useful the others can be disabled ;-)

Okay, I can't figure out how to access the .exe launcher function (is that the Z'Menu in the setup dialog? what is Zero-Zero-Menu?) nor the browser search bar or Google search bar. I discovered I could type into the system monitor box, but it doesn't launch a search... unless this app only supports Internet Explorer. The active browser is Firefox.

The Z'Panel (I assume that's what appears in the top left corner of the display) is very difficult to activate, especially when I'm using dual monitors and the mouse pointer pops too easily over to the second monitor, which is on the left in my setup.

I'm not sure what Swazz Z'Star is, either. It appears to do nothing when I select it.

Also, the command line won't stay in the directory I change to. I'm running SWAZZ portably on WinXP SP2. My portable drive is F: today. If I tell it to cd back to the C drive, it does that but pops right back into the F drive... so I'm at the F command prompt instead of C, no matter what I do.

It helps to read the Readme file packed with the application. :blush:

So that takes care of everything above except the difficulty of activating the menu (not Z'Panel) on a dual monitor, and the command line directory problem.

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

Gmacri on 2009-03-14 02:58

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)
