Improvements of the POP3 feature of the next Plus! by Patchou on 11-27-2004 at 07:30 AM
Hey everybody!
here is aquick message to let you know that I just completed coding the SSL support for the POP3 feature of Messenger Plus!. Using SSL will help enforce security if your server supports it and those whose server requires SSL (like GMail) will probably welcome the change.
The little "Requires SSL" checkbox took 3 full days of work so please, use it 
.

Patchou, is that going to be for new version of the beta for msn 7.0? or is it going to be released as a minor updated?

yeah, I dont want to download MSN 7 (sounds too buggy and illgal). So was wondering, if MSN 7 takes longer to come out than say end of January, could you release an update??
Edit: Yeah, Ill be using it for google. The one they released isn't that great. And it hogs even more space in my system tray.

RE: Improvements of the POP3 feature of the next Plus! by opdude on 11-27-2004 at 02:02 PM
great can't wait to use it

Thank you for the replies . There's 700 lines ofcode for this SSL option,I just hope they'll hold on (I'll have to make sure of that during internal beta testing).
As for the release of this version, there's no date yet butone thing is sure: it will be after the public beta release of Messenger 7. I want early Messenger 7 users to continueto enjoy Plus! and, more importantly, I want to add more new stuff in Messenger Plus! and it takes time.

Does this mean that it is still compatible with MSN Messenger 6.2?

Offcourse, just like 3.25 is still compatible with MSN Messenger 5

Of course this new version of Messenger Plus! is backward compatible! only a very fewsubset of features will require Messenger 7 (such as the colors in the contact list). I make a point to keep total backward compatibility, Messenger Plus! is and will stay compatible with Messenger 4, 5, 6 and 7, as long as these versions will be supported by Microsoft (meaning, as long as you'll be able to connect to Messenger with these clients).
