After a very long pause, a new release is available for download from the download page. Release 0.3.7 fixes the following issues:

- Fixed problem with negative folder size display for accounts with >2GB
- Fixed a problem where a certain type of error [Command failed: UID FETCH x (UID)] was being reported in the backup details, but not in the backup summary and was therefore easy to miss. The underlying failed UID fetches are happening intermitently, if you experience this problem please follow the instructions in this post to help resolve the issue.
- Fixed dataDir issue described in this post
- Disabled internal development logging (debug.log). Was enabled by mistake in previous release.
- Fixed a special case of restoring failure reported in this post (server reports the folder doesn't exist but refuses to create it with a "Mailbox exists" message).

This release fixes annoying crashes which were occurring intermittently on some XP systems, introduced in 0.3.5.

Release 0.3.5 is now available from the download page with the following changes:

- Fixed problems with backups due to invalid (not RFC 822 compliant) date formats in messages
- Messages with invalid dates are no longer set to the current time in the message list, instead an old date is specified to avoid confusion
- The Save Attachments dialog now has checkboxes for prefixing the attachment filename with the current time (for uniqueness), the sender address and the message timestamp
- Messages in the Save Attachments dialog are now displayed with the message date
- The Backup filename template would not expand correctly in case an invalid Windows character was specified.

Release 0.3.4 is now available from the download page with the following changes:

- NEW: The format of backup files is now configurable. Please check the "Backup Filename Format" section on the backup page for more information.
- Fixed a Namespace issue with some servers
- Fixed crashes when expunging folders without having messages displayed
- Fixed download to mbox/eml (was broken in 0.3.3)
- Running multiple simultaneous backups was causing synchronization problems in the database, so these are disabled for now (you can only run one backup at a time).
- Fixed problem with backup restore where a single message could be restored multiple times in certain circumstances.

A new release with two important fixes is now available for download.

- Fixed backup crashes caused by double quotes in message ids
- Fixed a mbox2eml conversion problem which was causing the conversion to freeze in certain situations.
- Added option to exclude the root folder from the hierarchy if the root folder is defined (Account setting)

A new beta release is now available for download. Changes are:

- Fixed a problem with the initial creation of the backup folder
- Fixed the cause of reported crashes during backups
- Fixed handling of folder hierarchies for UW IMAP servers
- Fixed a minor backup problem with Teamware IMAP server

This is a bug fix release, which fixes the main problems reported for 0.3.0

- Crashed when user had no permission to create the backup folder
- Fixed several issues with the creation and usage of backup folders in certain circumstances (this is what many thought was related to spaces in filenames)
- The new mbox2eml dialog was breaking long mbox paths, causing errors

Version 0.3.0 is now available from the download page. Please note that this is a beta release due to several new features. Your feedback will be appreciated.

- Backup: Faster & more reliable backups, using an internal database. If you have performed backups with previous versions, please check the backup migration post in the forum.
- Backup: Backups can now be invoked from the command line
- Backup: Backup folders are now preserved across program invocations
- Backup Restore: Backups can now be restored, either to the same account they were backed up from or to a completely different account (with automatic folder hierarchy replication on the new account)
- eml2mboxes feature added for converting hierarchies of eml files into mbox files
- mbox2eml: Cleaned up the mbox2eml interface. Should be much more user friendly now
- mbox2eml: Conversion results were reporting one eml less than the actual value
- mbox2eml: A warning will now be issued if an invalid mbox file is being converted
- IMAP: Fixed issues with the Janaserver IMAP server

New instructions for the backup feature are available on the backup page. This page will be updated with more details over the following days.

Happy New Year!

This is a bug fix release which resolves the annoying problem some users were experiencing during mbox2eml conversions of mbox files containing some invalid binary characters. Thanks to everyone who helped track this one down.

Download

Version 0.3.0 with improved backups and new restore functionality should be out before the end of the year.

Merry Christmas!

I've re-released 0.2.7 (0.2.7.6). There was a problem with displaying message lists if an account didn't have a spam handle defined. If you've already downloaded 0.2.7 please download it again.
