Software Update: FreePOPs 0.0.20

There are now more and more web-based e-mail services, such as Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail, where it is no longer possible to access them via a local e-mail client. It is also annoying to go to the different pages every time, log in there and keep the screen open. It would be more convenient if you could just use your own e-mail program. This is where the FreePOPs program comes in handy. It starts up a locally reachable POP3 server that turns all webmail services into real POP3 servers. The software is available for BeOS, MacOS X, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux. Recently version 0.0.20 has been released on the internet with the following changelog:

Legge il registro (e crea il file di configurazione) solo quando non esiste il file “fpm.ini”. Quando questo esiste, il mail client da avviare viene letto al suo interno. Questo permette di personalizzare il mail client da avviare. (p3g4sus)
