I've just had a successful conversion to PMMAIL V3.
I've been a long time PMMAIL user. Recent ISP changes forced me to either find a new mail package or convert.
I installed Thunderbird. It worked. It handled the security needs. But I was turned off by the cuteness and coloring book appearance of the user interface. My filters had to be redone, my signature processing would be different and I really didn't like the way address books were handled or the way they are used. Most of all the it didn't seem to multitask. Each email I sent required a new task window, and tied up things. I didn't pursue why that happened. It was a nuisance.
When PMMAIL V3 GA happened, I was ready to go. But I have/had an older OS/2 Warp4 system, an outdated kernel and a 16bit stack.
Despite these hindrances, the OS2Voice PMMAIL team really provided support. They made it possible for me to upgrade and I couldn't be happier. I'm still sort of back level and still 16bit stack, but PMMAIL really works -
The new version has the same friendly interface and works like a charm. I was able to keep all my previous mail folders, my filters, and even continue to use my home-grown signature swapping code.
The OS2VOICE team (Doug Bissett and James Moe) deserve kudos! They're great advocates and supporters of OS/2.
Regards to both, and all,
Dave
Good to hear you like PMMail.
PMMail is built with GCC 3.3.5 csd 3 and needs libc063.dll to run. I'm pleased that this toolset can work with the 16-bit TCP/IP stack.
