COMM-UNITY NETWORKING SYSTEMS RELEASES POP3IT 4.0.5, A FILEMAKER PRO PLUG-IN.
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 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
– FileMaker Pro
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.
– Mac OS
POP3it Pro requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or above. The plug-in is a Universal
Binary so it is compatible with both PPC- and Intel-based Macs.
– Windows
POP3it Pro supports the same versions of Windows that are supported by the
host version of FileMaker Pro the plug-in is being used with.
Features

having to write a single script!
– SSL/TLS Support – Download email from secure mail servers like Gmail.
– Import Emails – POP3it Pro can import emails from files on your hard drive
in several different formats including files that have the source of a
single email or files in the “mbox” format such as those used by Thunderbird
and Eudora. POP3it Pro can also import emails from Apple Mail 2.x mailbox
folders.
– Integrated Account Management – Set up all your accounts within the
plug-in instead of creating a database to store them.

by number or Unique ID.

messages just like an email client.

you no longer have to convert the date format yourself.

of experience in developing FileMaker Pro plug-ins.
– FileMaker Pro 7+ Native – Takes full advantage of the FileMaker Pro 7+
Plug-in API.
– Universal Binary – Runs on PPC- and Intel-based Macs.
– Backward Compatibility – Turn on the Backward Compatibility option and use
your existing POP3it Classic database without changing a single script.

extract only what you need out of email.
– Easy Loops – POP3it Pro’s Connect, GoToMessage, and Disconnect functions
make looping through your messages a snap.
– Attachments Where You Want Them – Tell POP3it to save attachments anywhere
on your hard drive. You can even base that location on the message content
itself.
