Lightweight e-mail client for the PC/Windows platform.

Popcorn is a lightweight e-mail client for Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003.

* Works as a client/server application, reading mail "directly" from POP servers, including those that require APOP MD5 secure authentication.
* Ideally suited for "on the road" mail access, for scanning, reading and sending mail over slow connections.
* Supports multiple account profiles, enabling you to read and send mail from any number of accounts.
* Requires no installation, no data is saved locally other than a portable .INI file containing account information.
* Ideal for cleaning up POP accounts, removing spam, unwanted mail, large attachments etc...
* Immune to all forms of e-mail attachment and HTML viruses/scripts/trojans, because it does not directly support receiving attachments or viewing HTML.
* Optionally supports viewing/saving attachments and HTML through external applications.
* The built-in mail editor and address book enables you to compose and send new mail with or without file attachments, reply to, forward and re-direct received mail using SMTP or (E)SMTP with authentication.
* Fits easily on a floppy or other portable (even read only) media, making it easy to carry around at all times.
* Using the Mail Message (.eml) format, you can easily import mail items composed, saved or sent from Popcorn into other popular e-mail clients.

What's new in this release (1.87 - 26-May-2008)?

New features:

* Password prompting has now been implemented for the "Use incoming (POP)
server username and password" SMTP send authentication method.

Bug-fixes:

* Fixed a bug that caused some downloaded mail items to not show the correct
status when they were only partially downloaded.

* Fixed a bug that caused the All Profiles view not to appear when the "Get
headers on startup" option was enabled.

* Fixed some misc. usability issues with the All Profiles view caused by the
change from a free floating dialog window to a docked view.

Other changes:

* Better default values for Popcorn settings and account profiles when starting
from scratch (no popcorn.ini file present).

* Removed the All Profiles "You have new mail..." notification pop-up dialog.

* Added a standard message box question mark icon to the application already
running dialog making it look like a Windows MessageBox().

* Optimized a couple of message and attachment download routines.

* Error dialog suppression has been fine-tuned a bit more.
