mpop 1.0.13 is released!
Support to store passwords using the Mac OS X keychain was added by Jay Soffian.
Performance problems when using GnuTLS were fixed.
mpop 1.0.12 is released!
This release fixes some minor bugs.
The LinuxUser Magazine (in german) has an article about mpop
in issue 10/2007, to be released on September 20, 2007. The article was written by Andreas
Kneib.
The magazine already ran an article by the same author on
msmtp in
issue 04/2005.
Msmtp shares much of its source code with mpop.
mpop 1.0.11 is released!
Bug fixes and improvements for large POP3 mail boxes with thousands of mails
were made, thanks to Dimitrios Apostolou.
The license was updated to GPLv3 or later (source code) and GFDLv1.2 or later
(documentation).
mpop 1.0.10 is released!
A bug in the UID handling code was fixed. The bug was introduced in version
1.0.7.
As a consequence, if you update from version 1.0.7-1.0.9, the first
invocation of this new mpop version will download all mails from the server,
even mails that were retrieved before.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
mpop 1.0.9 is released! This is a security update.
- Security fix: APOP authentication is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. See CVE-2007-1558. Such attacks might lead to password disclosure. Therefore, mpop does not use APOP automatically without TLS anymore. Additionally, the checks on the APOP challenge were too lax in previous versions of mpop, making attacks easier than necessary. This has been fixed.
- Security improvement: NTLM authentication is not used automatically without TLS anymore.
- Security improvement: TLS now requires either
tls_trust_file(highly recommended) or a disabledtls_certcheck.
An update is recommended.
mpop 1.0.8 is released!
This version has improved capability detection for servers that are not 100% standards compliant.
For example, POP3 pipelining is now automatically used for pop.gmail.com and some other servers.
mpop 1.0.7 is released!
This version now works with the Comcast.net POP3 server, thanks to a patch by
Benji Fisher.
mpop 1.0.6 is released!
Some build and installation problems were fixed.
The default value for the pipelining setting is now auto. The values
on and off now have a slightly different meaning: they force pipelining on
or off regardless of server capabilities. If you use pipelining on and your POP3
sessions hang, switch to pipelining auto.
mpop 1.0.5 is released!
This release fixes yet another build problem.
mpop 1.0.4 is released!
Some minor build problems were fixed, and the gnulib portability library was updated.
Using OpenSSL on Mac OS X works again.
mpop 1.0.3 is released!
Support for GNU SASL was fixed (it was broken in 1.0.2).
A spanish translation was added by Carlos MartÃn Nieto. Thanks a lot!
mpop 1.0.2 is released!
Minor bugs were fixed, and some portability issues were solved.
The configuration command tls_force_sslv3 was added. This is needed to use
TLS/SSL with some old and broken servers.
mpop 1.0.1 is released!
Minor bugs were fixed, and some portability issues were solved.
The default UIDLS file changed from ~/.mpop_uidls to
~/.mpop_uidls/%U_at_%H. %U and %H
will be replaced with the user and host name of an account.
This means that every account uses its own UIDLS file now.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
If you update from mpop-1.0.0, you must do one of the following:
- If your ~/.mpop_uidls file contains no UIDs, delete it.
- If you want to keep using it, add the following line to the
"defaults" section of your configuration file:
uidls_file ~/.mpop_uidls
mpop 1.0.0 is released!
Finally :)
Thanks to everybody who helped with this.
This release adds the --all-accounts (-a) option to query all accounts in the
configuration file.
Some bugs were fixed, so everybody is invited to upgrade to this version.
Important update:
Please note that the original mpop-1.0.0.tar.bz2 archive accidentally
missed the file gnulib/nanosleep.h. This caused compilation errors.
Since the original file was only online for a few minutes, I simply
replaced it with a fixed version. If you have the defective archive,
please download the new version of the file.
Thanks to Marco Ferra for reporting this issue so fast.
mpop 0.8.5 is released!
Again, one more beta release before 1.0.0.
This time, my excuse is the large number of small changes,
and the addition of optional support for Internationalized Domain Names
(IDN) via GNU Libidn.
Please test this release!
mpop 0.8.4 is released!
One more beta release before 1.0.0, because a bug fix and a feature addition introduced some
new code. Please test this release!
Binaries for Windows are available again.
mpop 0.8.3 is released!
Only a few minor tweaks were made in preparation of the upcoming 1.0.0 release.
The development moved to a
public CVS repository on SourceForge,
and the mailing list mpop-users
was created. Everyone is invited to participate!
