Will there be a PE 4?

[Drugstore Cowboy]

I was wondering if anyone has any idea if and when PocoMail PE 4 will be released? I just downloaded the eval version of PocoMail 4 and it has addressed all of the problems I've had with the previous editions. I'll jump on PE 4 the moment it is available...

Should follow pretty soon, as already posted by Slaven.

Thanks Eric, should have checked a little more closely...

No problem, I'm awaiting it too.

Subject says it all, I would like to get PE4 as soon as it is available. Perhaps this post has the same effect; if just some kind soul replies here when PE 4 is available, I will get notifed.

My reason for going to PE4:
I currently run ordinary PocoMail off a memory stick (yes it works), which I inadvertantly bought after trialling PE, and not being happy with the reply that I would have to buy a separate full-price PE to correct it. However, if there are now improvements that I really need (Unicode support), I will be happy to pay for PE.

Interesting...Can somebody tell me how I would get PM to run off an external HDD as a portable application?

I would be really interested in doing this.

[Edit] I've just cut and pasted the PocoMail4 folder from C:\Program Files to my portable drive, and it seems to work fine.

Is it really that simple, or have I set myself up for some problems?

Hi Robert & welcome to Poco Forums,

It's as simple as that, since you can move Poco around anywhere you like, it will still work.

However one caveat while using it on your removable drive, since you won't be able to register it. It does have to be registered in the registry as far as I remember.

MITG won't work on a removable drive, as already posted before.

Hope that helps.

I don't think the question has been answered as to whether there will be a PE 4 yet. Can anyone answer that? If there isn't, is the upgrade from PE 3.4.0.2130 to Poco 4.x a smooth one?

Don't know. MITG replaces PE 4, so perhaps it will disappear afterwards

Should work without to much hassle.
Poco 4 uses another index (IDB), so you'll no longer need IDX.

Just in case, make a complete backup prior to transferring your data.

same question

i'm using PE for almost 4 years.... since I bought my first usb flash disk

worth every $ I paid

I tried MITG, but it doesnt do it for me
I tried other programs like ReachMail, portable thunderbird.... but they are not PE.....

So, will there be an update, or is PocoMail PE finished?

Because I still have problems with viewing Croatian alphabet - this works, but i'm still waitting for better solution

Hi mgredelji & welcome to Poco Forums,

Only speculation on my part, but I guess MITG will replace PE 4.

Only PSI knows if PE 4 will be updated or MITG will acquire the same from the next major upgrade of PM 4 and Barca 2.

Sorry, can't answer your question, since I don't have any inside info regarding PSI's software and plans.

It can work portably no doubt, although when making a new copy of the program and data folders once you move the former it will want to run the import wizard.

You can manually set the data folders but it won't have any account settings, so you'd need to run it (import wizard) manually later on.

It works fine except probably best to disable the "default mail & newsgroup" dialog.

Also, setting the path in PocoSystem.ini might be helpful as well in order so the program can find dictionaries, contacts etc
