I am under the impression that Courier won't work with my Google
Account. Is this true?
 
Hello,
Likely the best E-mail program, Courier (previously called Calypso),
is now freeware.

they say:
Special Offer: For a limited time, Courier Email can be registered
for FREE for unlimited use. Your free registration for Version 3.5
will never expire.

That is nice, but it's not freeware as I call it. It's like those
campains we also saw on Opera (will now truely went free) and
EssentialPIM Pro.

I think, posting campains like this here is okay, the software is
free for a limited time. But the term "freeware" is not correct for
me. I must force every possible future user to get a (free)
registion NOW, as fast as possible, as long as the offer lasts.
I would not include such software on my freeware site.

Regards,
Thorsten

No. But you do need to use another program called 'stunnel' as Courier
dosen't fully support SSL.
 
What is the difference between the manditory-registration 3.5 and
Calypso 3.3 which you can download without any requirements?

New features in Version 3.5

* "Color Markers" can be applied like labels to certain messages, or
to a folder in the folder tree pane. Up to 64 unique font & background
colors can be defined. Markers can be assigned to messages or folders
manually, and filters can apply markers to messages automatically.
Summary window can sort messages by Marker setting.
* Toggle between Plain Text and HTML View mode in Message, Compose or
Preview Pane windows using Ctrl-W or the "HTML" tool bar button
* Plain Text viewing functionality for HTML messages with no text
portion (automatic HTML tag stripping).
* New filter option to strip HTML, saving only a text version of the
message and deleting the HTML portion.
* New filter option to verify message sender's address appears in
address book (a.k.a. "White List" functionality).
* Customizable security settings for viewing HTML mail, such as
disabling Active X, executable scripts, and automatic downloading of
linked images in messages.
* Optional sequential numbering of replies in a thread (inserting
[1], [2] etc. alongside the RE: portion of the subject).
* Fully mappable file importing for Address Books - import your
addresses from virtually any other mail program.
* Enhanced support for SMTP authentication.
* Quickly change SMTP settings for some or all accounts at once
(great for laptop users who change their Internet connections).
* Timed "Auto Save" of message compositions.
* Mail check interval can be set on a "per-account" basis.
* Hot Key support for the POPFile "Classify" function.

Interface Enhancements in Version 3.5:

* CTRL + Drag and Drop offers same choices as Right-Mouse Button +
Drag and Drop, consistent with Windows Explorer functionality
* F4 sends all pending messages.
* Total/Selected/Unread Item counts in tool bar
* Sorting now ignores "" or < > characters around names.
* Account setting to disable toggling of "Save Copy of Sent Message"
in Compose view.
* Editing and saving a sent message retains the original time stamp.
