POPFile automatically sorts your email messages and fights spam.

POPFile is an email classification tool with a Naive Bayes classifier, POP3, SMTP, NNTP proxies and IMAP filter and a web interface. It runs on most platforms and with most email clients.

This upgrade introduces some new features and fixes some bugs. The minimal Perl used by the Windows version has been upgraded and as a result Windows 9x, Windows Millennium and Windows NT are no longer officially supported.

New features:

You can now customize Subject Header modification placement (head or tail) by changing the new option bayes_subject_mod_pos'. (ticket #74) NNTP module now caches articles received with the message number specified.

You can now jump to message header/message body/quick magnets/scores in the single message view by clicking links on the head of the page.

You can now filter messages shown in the history using 'reclassified' option.

Windows version improvements:

The minimal Perl has been updated to the most recent 5.8 release. Since this release of Perl only officially supports Windows 2000 or later POPFile 1.1.1 may not work on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millennium or Windows NT. The installer will display a warning message explaining that POPFile may not work properly on these old systems.

The Windows system tray icon's menu now offers options to visit the support website and check for new versions of POPFile.

If the automatic version check feature has been turned on (via the Security tab in the User Interface) then the system tray icon will change and a message box will be displayed. This check is performed once per day.

Now that all known problems with the system tray icon have been fixed it will be enabled by default in new installations.

The Windows installer now preselects the relevant components when upgrading or modifying an existing installation.

The Windows installer can now display the UI properly even if the database is very large (tens of MB).

Fixed a problem that POPFile does not work on Japanese Windows when the path of the data directory contains non-ASCII characters (e.g. the user name is written in Japanese).

Mac OS X version improvements:

The installer for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) has come. Since Snow Leopard includes Perl v5.10.0, the Perl modules which are supplied with the POPFile installer v1.1.0 or earlier aren't compatible with it. Starting with this version, two versions of installer will be released. One is for Snow Leopard, and another is for the former versions of Mac OS X. The name of Snow Leopard installer will have '-sl' suffix.

Other improvements:

The users who are using very large database (tens of MB) will be able to reclassify messages faster.
