Popcorn Description

Popcorn is a lightweight and portable e-mail client for Windows

* Works as a client/server application, reading mail "directly" from POP
servers.

* Send and receive mail using secure SSL encrypted server connections.
(More details in the "Send and receive mail using SSL in Popcorn" section).

* 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.

* Supports and fits easily on all 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 (1.81 - 20-April-2008)?
--------------------------------------------------
New features:

* The All Profiles dialog is now a an integrated docked view in Popcorn
instead of a free floating window and it is enabled/visible by default.
Docking is limited to the lower right corner in this release. The width
of the All Profiles view can only be adjusted by manually editing the
"AllProfilesPosSize" setting in the popcorn.ini file.

* The "All Profiles" menu item, the F2 key and the All Profiles toolbar
button now toggles the All Profiles view visible/hidden (closed). This
toggle state is stored and restored from the "AllProfilesOnStart" setting.

* The stop/abort connection toolbar button (ESC) now also completely stops
the All Profiles update cycle instead of just stopping/aborting the current
connection.

* Implemented a new setting "SuppressErrorsAllProfilesUpdate" (it can be
changed through the "Tools" -> "Settings..." dialog) which will suppress
all error dialogs that might pop up during an All Profiles update cycle.
This settings is disabled by default.

* Ctrl+O now opens the "Mail Out Folder/File".

Other changes:

* Removed the the now obsolete "Window" -> "All Profiles on Startup"
menu item.

* Removed the obsolete "FreewareMultiWarn" setting.


Installing Popcorn
------------------
If you have downloaded the Popcorn ZIP archive, unzip it and either
replace your prevoius executable or simply start Popcorn. Replacing an
older version with the new version retains your existing account profile
information and program settings.

If you have downloaded the Popsetup.exe self extracting executable,
launch the popsetup.exe program to begin installation. The first choice
to make is where to install the Popcorn application files:

If you wish to change the default location chosen to install Popcorn to
you can select a different location by pressing the browse button.

There are 3 custom options you can choose when installing Popcorn. To
include an option place a tick next to it. They are as follows:

* Create shortcut on the Start menu - This option when ticked will place
a shortcut to Popcorn on your start menu.

* Create shortcut on the Desktop - This option when ticked will place a
shortcut to Popcorn on the Desktop.

* Register Popcorn to handle the "mailto:" protocol - Ticking this option
enables you to set Popcorn to become the default mail program in Windows.
To then set Popcorn as the default mail program please refer to the
section "Making Popcorn the Default Mail Program" in the Popcorn users
guide.

Once you have selected the options you want you are ready to install Popcorn
by clicking the Install button, or you may cancel the installation by pressing
the Cancel button. If you cancel the installation no changes will be made to
your system.

When the installer finishes the message "Popcorn has been installed successfully"
appears.


Send and receive mail using SSL in Popcorn
------------------------------------------
Popcorn supports sending and receiving mail using SSL encrypted server
connections via the OpenSSL (www.openssl.org) Win32 DLLs. The two DLLs
needed (ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll) are available for download here:

http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

Download and run the installer, if Popcorn finds and is able to load the
SSL DLLs, SSL support is enabled, if not, SSL support is disabled. To see
if SSL support is loaded and enabled after Popcorn has been started, select
the "Tools" -> "Program/Settings Info..." menu item.

To use SSL, select the "Tools" -> "Account Profiles..." menu item, select the
"Identity & Servers" tab and tick off the "Use SSL" checkbox for POP and/or SMTP
for each (relevant) account profile. When using SSL to access POP and/or SMTP
servers, the Port numbers are usually not 25/110, please check with your e-mail
provider for the right settings.


Portable SSL support
--------------------
If you want to take Popcorn with you on a removable disk like a USB key or external
HD, just copy the two SSL DDLs (ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll) to the folder that
contains the popcorn.exe file to enable portable SSL support.


Getting started and using Popcorn
---------------------------------
For detailed information on getting started and using Popcorn, please read
the accompanying users guide (popcorn.chm), accessible in Popcorn by pressing
F1, through the "Help" -> "Contents and Index" menu item, or from the Popcorn
program item on your Start menu.
