Application: PopMan
Category: Office
Description:PopMan is a POP3 manager. It can be used to list all e-mails received on your incoming mail server (POP3 server), without having to load these mails completely. Unwanted e-mails can be deleted directly from the server.
You can use PopMan to check your e-mail accounts in the background. When new e-mails arrive, you will be notified.
To show you whether e-mails contain useful information, or whether they are just spam, PopMan provides a preview functionality. You can use this preview pane to read the text-based content of your e-mails – whether they are plain text or HTML. Thats why reading your emails with PopMan is absolutely secure!

Nice work on this.
Simplifying daily life through technology
I have been on to popmans site to try and get this working.
I have used the following to set up
pop3 ssl
pop.gmail.com setting
port:995
the regular setting without luck.
i tried
pop3 ssl
smtp.gmail.com
port: 995
it worked once
then i used
pop3 ssl
66.249.93.109 (raw ip address)
port: 995
and it works fine every time
only problem is it will not remember the setting every time i use pman the default setting pop.gmail.com is set. not the ip adress
is there a bug with the portable apps program.
i do know it is still in the development stage.
P.S can you also tell me when the next release and the full version will likely to come out. (with the fixes for this and all the other problems)

I have a gmail account too so I can try it too. Maybe I get a solution.
And I am currently working on the next version (1.3) but I only have little time to invest into it so it may take a bit.

Here are my comments on v.1.3 dev test 1:
Nice pick. Keep up the good work!

I will install this and tell you what i think.
Im currently on dialup so i cannot tell you right now. 
Na na na, come on!
I found an issue, but maybe it's an issue of the base app, I don't know:
If you don't store your password, you are asked for it the first time you connect to your provider after having started Popman. After entering the password Popman tries to connect. If the connection times out without success, Popman tries again when the selected time has passed. For the new try it opens a new dialogue window to enter your password. And again, and again ...
IMHO Popman should open only one dialogue window, not several.
BTW: Users should be warned, that Popman stores the personal data including the password in cleartext. Anybody who gets in possession of the flash drive can read it.
I think this is an issue with the base App and will ask in their Forums.
As for the second one, you might want to recheck. My passwords are stored encrypted.
EDIT: I asked and got this response:
