BogMail for .NET™ is a useful tool that sits in the Windows™ system tray and monitors your internet mail accounts for incoming messages. Details of messages can be viewed before downloading messages into your mail application, making it a powerful tool for avoiding malicious spam and virus messages. As the full message is never downloaded, it never gets a chance to cause any problems.
BogMail for .NET™ includes the following features.
BogMail for .NET™ requires the following to run:
| Version | Date | Changes |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0.0 | Friday, 19 December 2003 | Support for SpamAssassin filtering. Speech synthesis notifcation of new mail and errors. Improved handling of non-standard date formats that contain both numerical and symbolic representation of the time zone. Only a single instance of BogMail can be run at any one time. |
| 0.4.0 | Monday, 8 September 2003 | Support for SSL/TLS connections. This uses an API provided by Mentalis.org (see below). The system is designed to use TLS1 but this should be backwards compatible with SSL3. |
| 0.3.0 | Saturday, 6 September 2003 | Yet more support for non-standard dates. Error log can be copied to the clipboard. |
| 0.2.0 | Wednesday, 3 September 2003 | Added message text preview that displays up to 200 lines of message text. Added support for various non-standard non-RFC822 date formats. |
| 0.1.0 | Tuesday, 2 September 2003 | Conversion to the C# and .NET™ from the original Visual C++ 6 BogMail application. Added support for multiple accounts, mail header preview and encrypted passwords. |
If you encounter a bug, please send me a detailed report at bogbrush@bogbrushzone.co.uk. If there are any entries in the message log, please send them to me (the log can be copied to the clipboard). If an error relates to a specific message, a copy of the message may be useful but due to privacy concerns that is at the user's discretion.
If you want to send secure mail, my PGP public key is below. Please do not send PGP messages encrypted using IDEA as I frequently use open source PGP tools that do not support that (patented) alogrithm.
