New features:
a.. Popcorn now supports the APOP authentication method when logging on to POP servers
enabling secure user login with MD5 digital signatures. To enable APOP authentication,
change the "POPAPOPAuth" variables in the popcorn.ini file to "TRUE" (default = "FALSE")
for the profiles/ accounts you want to use APOP. Popcorn uses the POP server password as
the APOP client/server shared secret (password). There will be a "User Profiles ->
Identity & Servers" setting to enable this in the final 1.45 release.
b.. Added tweakable parameters for POP and SMTP socket data receive poll timers. The
values can be changed in the Popcorn.ini file throught the following two variables:
"POPRecvPollTimeout" and "SMTPRecvPollTimeout". The default value is 5 ( * 100)
microseconds. Adjusting these parameters can make Popcorn communicate better with some POP
and SMTP servers. It is not recommended changing these values unless you know what they
do.
c.. Added "Popcorn Support Forum" menu item on the Help menu for quick access to support
resources.
d.. Redesigned and simplified the "Mailbox info for all Profiles" dialog.
e.. Double-clicking on a profile in the "Mailbox info for all Profiles" dialog will
activate the corresponding profile in the inbox and download the latest headers.
f.. Pressing "enter" when the list view has focus in the "Mailbox info for all Profiles"
dialog will activate the corresponding profile in the inbox and download the latest
headers.
g.. Right-clicking on a profile in the "Mailbox info for all Profiles" dialog will
"resets" it's status (used to be double-click).
h.. Added error message suppression option when Popcorn is minimized in the system tray.
This option is turned on ("TRUE") by default, to disable it/turn it off, set the
"SuppressErrorsTray" variable in the Popcorn.ini file to "FALSE".
i.. Added user definable online spell check to the mail editor available by marking the
word, then pressing F7 or using the context pop-up menu. The spell check URL can be
changed through the "SpellCheckURL" variable in the popcorn.ini file. The "%s" format
specifier in the URL string is used to insert the spell check word into the URL.
j.. Popcorn can now repeat the new mail sound with a fixed interval set by the user. The
default value is 0 seconds (repeat disabled). The value can be changed through the
Popcorn.ini file by editing the "RepeatSoundInt" value.
k.. Popcorn can now start with the "Mailbox info for all profiles" dialog automatically
opened by setting the "AllProfilesOnStart" variable in the Popcorn.ini file to "TRUE".
This option is turned off ("FALSE") by default.
l.. Added "Handle mailto: protocol" registration option checkbox in the Popcorn
installer.
m.. Added "Minimize on Close" toggle menu item on the Windows menu.
Bug-fixes:

a.. The tray icon tooltip now also shows the last time you checked all accounts for new
mail when doing a complete "manual" pass.
b.. Popcorn did not always save/restore the size and position of the "Mailbox info for
all profiles" dialog, this has now been fixed.
c.. Fixed a bug that would crash Popcorn if it was set as the system default mail
client, no user profiles had been created and a mailto: link was clicked while Popcorn was
running (which does not happen very often :)
d.. Fixed DST time offset problem when sending mails from Popcorn.
e.. Simplified more menu items.
f..
