I still believe that Barca 2 should work with MAPI. To use the above programs I must always use Thunderbird as my default email program.
I know that MAPI has security problems, but if you have a good antivirus and firewall I cannot see the problem.

But if you get infected, it will spread throughout your entire system and use your address book to spread itself to others.jlaldridge54 wrote:I know that MAPI has security problems, but if you have a good antivirus and firewall I cannot see the problem.
PSI already considered implementing it in a secure way.
The only thing we don't know is when it will be done.
MAPI will also introduce serious weaknesses into Barca. My guess is some people will rather not have this weakness. We have thought about this on many occasions, and we will continue to do so until we have a satisfactory solution.
My pleasure helping fellow users.darrellb wrote:Eric, thank you for your reply and the hours that you give to answering queries on this forum.
You won't find any commitment, even in the beta section. As I already said they are considering all the possibilities.In my review and search of this forum, I do not find a commitment from Poco to implement MAPI.
Maybe they will, maybe they won't.All this to say that perhaps Pocosystems would like to take this opportunity to update end users on the direction they are taking on this
As it has been with several other users, but it remains their decision.On a personal note, some sort of simple MAPI implementation has long been on my secret wish list of Poco improvements and I am often tempted by other email clients that feature such.
Won't change from email client because of this IMHO. I for one chose PSI for a secure email client and the ease of use, as well as the features it offers.Alas, I always come back home to Poco since its many other features cannot be matched by the others, IMHO.

It's their decision to reveal something about their future plans.

Like I said before, security or functionality, what do you prefer?
Sure they listen to their end users, but the decision remains with them on how they will implement it.darrellb wrote:Of course, I know the implementation of MAPI is Pocosystem's decision but I would hope that the suggestions of end users are considered.
They do their best, considering the resources they have.IMHO, the attentiveness and responsiveness displayed by Pocosystems to the concerns and suggestions of end users has made Pocomail the great email client it is. (I am not a user of Barca, so I will leave it to others to sing its praises.)
Sure, but if that functionality breaks your lock, then you've got a bigger problem.Security without functionality is like having a house with all of the doors locked so that you are forced to crawl through a window to get in and out.
You only have to participate to the betas and then you'll know how it goes.
