Fort Worth, TX, March 18, 2008 -- Comm-Unity Networking Systems releases an update to POP3it Pro to enhance the functionality of some of the plug-in's features as well as fix several bugs.  POP3it Pro continues to be the easiest plug-in for downloading email directly into a FileMaker(R) Pro database with little to no scripting necessary in its most basic mode.

Description

POP3it Pro allows you to connect to a POP3 Email Server and download email directly into your FileMaker Pro database.  The plug-in also allows you to import email directly from the mailbox storage files of popular email clients like Thunderbird, Eudora, and Apple Mail.  With the advanced plug-in architecture of FileMaker Pro 7 and above, POP3it Pro has the freedom to work with your email databases like never before.  It's entirely possible to add email downloading capabilities to your databases without writing a single script.

What's New

- Fixed a bug with DisplayMessage where the content wasn't showing up if the Subject had a Question Mark in it.
- Fixed some bugs dealing with closing files on the Mac platform.
- Fixed a bug in SaveAttachment where it wasn't saving Attachments in the correct place in certain circumstances.
- Completely rewrote/reworked the Attachment/Referenced Inline Attachment/Unreferenced Inline Attachment code to better handle emails, especially those coming from Apple's Mail.
- Fixed a bug with plain text emails not passing through character conversion routines to display non-English characters in FileMaker Pro.
- Fixed an issue with renaming files.
- Rewrote the majority of the low-level Protocol code to be more stable and work faster.
- Fixed some issues with the SSL/TLS code.
- Added some code to deal with POP3 Servers that don't allow any commands before Authentication.
- Lots of minor bug fixes/changes based on other plug-in code.

Requirements

POP3it Pro requires FileMaker Pro 7.0v3 and above to function properly.  The plug-in will not load under previous versions of FileMaker Pro.  If you have FileMaker Pro 7.0 but have not updated to 7.0v3, you can obtain a free update from FileMaker, Inc's website.
