Thore Boeckelmann

And here's a PARTIAL list of the changes in this version with respect to
the previous official 2.7 update:

- updated translations for czech, french, german, italian, swedish, spanish,
turkish and english-british language.
- integration of online documentation system and removal of obsolete
amigaguides, see http://docs.yam.ch/
- general performance improvements and general bug fixing.
- moved CC and BCC as well as Reply-To: address field from separate
"Options" tab to the first page of the write window and made it
user-configurable.
- integrated a multi-identity system which allows to define an unlimited
number of identities and link SMTP servers to each identity so that
different settings per identity are possible (including different
signatures).
- implemented unlimited signature support through new multi-identity
system integrated in YAM.
- multiple and unlimited SMTP-Server support. Now users can define any
number of SMTP servers and link them to the new identity management
system.
- implemented new "Drafts" folder system to allow to put autosave files
as well as storing mails on hold into a separate folder commonly used
in other mail clients.
- All Themes, Certificates, user configurable Spamfilters and the Gallery
directory are now per default stored in a PROGDIR:Resources sub directory
to not clutter the PROGDIR: directory too much. In future more and more
user configurable setting directories will move there, too.
- YAM will now trust certain external SPAM filter engines (e.ġ.
Spamassassin) when retrieving external emails and trying to identify
SPAM. Own external spam filter rules can now be configured in
PROGDIR:Resources/Spamfilters if necessary.
- Added full SSL certificate authentication support. If connecting to an
SSL secured mail server (POP3/SMTP) YAM will now verify the certificate
and compare it against official certificate chains. If a certificate is
identified to be not trustable a warning will be presented to the user
- autosave mails now contain receivers and sender information so that
upon recovering those mails the full entered information is presented
again.
- Full support for the new "Mail-Followup-To:" and "Mail-Reply-To:" header
fields which are commonly used for mailing lists.
- Sent mails can now be replied as well.
- implemented own mail download intervals per POP3 server along with
individual mail size limits per POP3 server.
- implemented new arexx command to search for messages via message ID.
- added a string gadget to the "no subject warning requester" so that
a missing subject can be immediately be added.
- improved Daylight Saving recognition and removed irritating DST switching
warnings for systems known to behave correctly when DST are switched.
- large restructuring of the configuration GUI to match new identity and
multiple SMTP feature. In addition, things belonging to the Look&Feel
of the GUI had been moved to the corresponding config item.
- fixed certain PGP related problems causing signature check failures.
- fixed a bunch of problems related to the autocompletion features in
the recipient string objects of the write window.
- lots of other improvement we don't remember right now (keep in mind:
one year of development was put into YAM 2.8!) :)
the previous official 2.8 update:

- updated translations for czech, greek, swedish, french, spanish, italian,
turkish language.
- fixed an issue related to BetterString.mcc which cause YAM to crash.
- extended the ADDRLOAD command to take a second parameter OPEN/S to
immediately open then address book window after the address book file
has been loaded successfully.
- added a new option in the hidden section of the configuration. Setting the
option "OverrideFromAddress" to "Y" will add a recipient string object
below the identity chooser in the write window. The contents default to
the chosen identity's address but can be modified freely. This makes it
possible to use a different From: address than the one configured in the
identity while still using all other settings like the SMTP server.
- renamed the 'Bounce' mail functionality for redirecting emails to alternative
recipients to 'Redirect' as that better reflects the purpose of this
functionality and should not confuse users anymore. Also adapted the
functionality to add all well-known Resent-#? headers to redirected emails.
This should adapt YAM to be somehwat more RFC compliant. Furthermore, a
Resent-CC and Resent-BCC can now be specified. In addition, YAM will now
allow to bounce to multiple emails in one operation. That means, a user
can now select more than one mail in the mail listview and when a redirect
operation is performed YAM will redirect all of these mails in one run.
- fixed bug where hidden Cc, BCC or Reply-To string gadgets could have ended
up at wrong positions when hiding/showing them dynamically in the write
window.
- fixed a bug where 'new' mail was never changed to 'unread' status if it was
moved to a subfolder. Now the index of all folders carrying 'new' mail will
be loaded and the status adapted accordingly.
- fixed a problem where under certain setups the automatically chosen full
qualified domain name (FQDN) was unluckily chosen and thus mail sending being
rejected when using YAM. Now YAM should use a better mechanism and even let
you override the FQDN using a new hidden 'MachineFQDN' option.
- fixed a crash where it could have happened that YAM accessed an invalid
memory location when creating a new mail.
- added a new 'WRITEIDENTITY' ARexx command to let a script choose the user
identity to be used when composing a new mail via ARexx.
- fixed a bug where the signature settings of a folder got lost when updating
from YAM versions <= 2.7 to 2.8
- fixed a crash when entering certain text in the CC string gadget of a write
window.
- fixed some problems with the new Drafts folder managment where emails could
end up duplicated. In addition, the 'Hold' button has been renamed to 'Save
to Drafts' to better differentate between the operations.
- fixed a bug where the number of mails in the outgoing folder was not correctly
set when a mail was moved by mail filter operation.
- fixed a bug where the From: address was not properly restored when the hidden
"OverrideFromAddress" option had been used.
- fixed a bug where keeping the write window open for a while could suddenly
crash YAM.
- fixed some crashes related to virtual email display (e.g. opening .eml
attachments).
- fixed a bug in the mail header parsing routines where a header line starting
with a newline cause problems.
- fixed a memory trashing problem where toolbar images of different sizes cause
some memory leaks within TheButton.mcc.
- fixed a bug where resaving a mail in the drafts folder caused the mail
active/inactive state to get messed up.
- modified remote filters to be applied when getting the single message details.
This makes it possible to let the filters check all available information but
it also requires the user to wait until the details of all new mails have been
received. Otherwise it could have happened that some mails were not received
although they should be filtered out.
- fixed a crash bug when deleting a folder group.
- fixed some incorrect dimensions of certain theme images.

If you want to have a more detailed technical information on what was
actually changed, please have a look at the included 'ChangeLog' file.
