What's new from Release Notes:
* Global Inbox
POP3 users can now combine all of their POP3 accounts into a single
global inbox under local folders.
* Comprehensive Data Migration
Switching to Thunderbird has never been easier since Thunderbird can
now migrate all of your e-mail data including settings, mail folders
and address book data from common mail applications such as the
Mozilla 1.x Suite, Outlook Express, Outlook and Eudora.
* RSS Integration
Thunderbird now features a built in RSS reader which allows you to
easily subscribe to and read news and weblogs that support RSS.
* Improved Privacy Controls
In order to help protect your privacy, Thunderbird now automatically
blocks remote image requests in e-mails from senders you don't know.
* Improved Quick Search
Thunderbird now makes it even easier to manage your e-mail. Quick
search now supports many different types of search criteria including
the ability to search message body text. Thunderbird can also
highlight the quick search terms in the message body.
* Other New Features
Support for using a master password to encrypt saved e-mail account passwords.
Linux GNOME users can now make Thunderbird their default e-mail client
(Tools > Options > General).
If your network uses proxy authentication for HTTP, Thunderbird now
correctly prompts for proxy authentication instead of silently
failing.
Bug fixes too numerous to mention!

Changes since 1.0.0:
Version 1.2.3:
- IPv6 support on Windows systems
- The configuration file supports all commands and arguments related to
TLS and authentication, even if TLS and/or GNU SASL support is not
compiled in
- The GNU SASL library is not required to support DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM
anymore. This means you can now use the packaged versions of the library
from Gentoo or Debian sarge.
- You can use the -v/--version option to find out which authentication
methods are supported.
Version 1.2.2:
- Enhancements to the logfile command:
- All available information is now written to the logfile (new fields:
mailsize=..., smtpmsg='...', errormsg='...').
- Logging to standard output is possible by using "logfile -"
Version 1.2.1:
- No new features.
Version 1.2.0:
- This version can be compiled without TLS/SSL support; use
--disable-ssl if you really want that.
- Read the entries for versions 1.1.x for more changes since the last
stable version 1.0.0.
Version 1.1.3:
- New option -i for compatibility with mail(1).
- New 'logfile' command; see man page for details.
Version 1.1.2:
- No user visible changes.
Version 1.1.1:
- The tls_nostarttls command now sets the default port to 465 (ssmtp).
Version 1.1.0:
- Support for SMTP command pipelining. On high latency networks, this
may increase transmission speed, especially when sending to many
recipients.
- The short option for --file, -f, has changed to -F
- A new option --from/-f is available to set the envelope from address.
- A new option --serverinfo/-S is available to print information
about the capabilities and limitations of an SMTP server
/etc/mk.conf won't cause mutt to try to build using SASL (since it only
supports SASLv1, which conflicts with SASLv2). This fixes PR pkg/26821
by Martin Husemann.
Full list of changes:
* A new message addressing mode '(criteria)' is now available. It uses the
IMAP SEARCH command if possible, and otherwise performs the equivalent
actions locally. This addressing mode is of interest even for those people
who do not use IMAP with nail because it adds powerful generic search
methods, such as a way to search within message bodies.
* The 'folders' command now really works with IMAP accounts. It also accepts
an argument to list the subfolders of a specific folder.
* The new 'headline' variable allows to customize the columns in the header
summary.
* The new 'attrlist' variable allows to customize the attributes column in
the header summary.
* The message flags 'Flagged' (F), 'Answered' (A), and 'Draft' (T) are now
available, for IMAP mailboxes as well as for local folders. See the 'flag',
'unflag', 'answered', 'unanswered', 'draft', and 'undraft' commands and the
'markanswered' variable.
* The 'kill'/'unkill'/'score' commands were added to make messages invisible
on the user's wish.
* It is now possible to define sequences of commands as macros, see the
'define', 'call', and 'undef' commands. Macros can also be automatically
invoked when a folder is opened using the 'folder-hook' and
'folder-hook-fullname' variables.
* The new 'move' and 'Move' commands mark messages for deletion when they
have been successfully transferred to the target folder.
* The new addressing mode '`' selects all messages that were included in the
message list to the previous command.
* The combination of the previous additions allows a score/filter file to be
set up; this is described in the EXAMPLES section of the manual page.
* New 'noop' command to send NOOP to POP3 or IMAP servers.
* The IMAP UIDPLUS extension (RFC 2359) is now used if available on the
server. It speeds up the IMAP cache when copying messages to IMAP folders;
the message is copied directly to the cached target folder then and does
not need to be downloaded again when it is accessed there.
* When an IMAP SELECT command fails and a connection to a folder that is
not located on the same server is made afterwards, the connection to
the old server is properly terminated now.
* Command lines like 'nail -A imap -f @mailbox' now work.
* IMAP or POP3 user names that contain an '@' character, such as 'foo@bar'
in 'imap://foo@bar@hostname', are now handled (Bugreport by Lars
Kellogg-Stedman).
* If the 'autoinc'/'newmail' variables are set and new mail arrives in
threaded/sorted mode, no summary of old headers is printed anymore.
* If new mail arrives and messages are expunged on an IMAP server at the same
time, all of the new messages are now announced correctly.
* The 'inc'/'newmail' commands now set the current message to the first new
message again. This undoes the change made for version 11.1.
* When the 'autoinc'/'newmail' variables are set and new mail arrives, the
'next' command or enter key prints the next message as usual if the current
one has been printed; it printed the current message again in this situation.
* IMAP performance improvement: When new mail arrives, or when messages have
been expunged, metadata is fetched only for the new messages, instead of
fetching it for all messages in the folder again as it was done before.
* IMAP performance improvement: If the header of a message was already
fetched from an IMAP server, nail now uses 'BODY.PEEK[TEXT]' when
fetching the whole message and does not download it again.
* IMAP performance improvement: The CLOSE command is now used instead of
EXPUNGE when a mailbox is quit.
* Cached IMAP performance improvement: When a mailbox is opened and messages
are cached, their sizes and internal dates are taken from the cache.
* The wcwidth() library function is now used to determine the width of
multibyte characters if it is available.
* If $MAIL does not exist and 'emptystart' is set, a proper error message
is printed now, and a following 'account' command succeeds.
* The SSL code compiles with older versions of OpenSSL (e.g. 0.9.6b) again
(Bugreport by Lutz Horn).
- Option handling was ignoring old USE_* statements
- Don't try and compile sendmail with SASLv1 _and_ SASLv2 support
- Add missing migration option for USE_STARTTLS
db2 code using hints from debian's fix.
makevpopdb works now, but there are still bugs lurking in the virtual
domain code.
no PKGREVISION bump as db2 is not enabled by default.
-change failure of a message filter to produce at least as many mail headers
as it was provided from a non-fatal error to warning. If your filter strips
headers, getmail will now warn you about it, but will not consider it an
error.
-documentation additions.
Change PKGVERSION to 0.9.12.0.1 for this, since we already have 0.9.12.
Changes:
* Do not detect as "Edited" just after creating a new mail on compose
window. (OGUCHI Takuya)
* Parse gtkrc-2.0 instead of gtkrc.
* Fixed auto completion bug in address entries on compose window.
(Michael Graham)
-enhance warning diagnostics about non-accessible or non-writable maildirs.
-change method of determining name of local host; only fall back to
getfqdn() if the result of gethostname() does not contain a dot.
-documentation enhancements.
Changes:
* The SSL/X509 DNS name verification code was fixed; it used incorrect code
from a book which sometimes caused segmentation faults (Bugreport by Lars
Kellogg-Stedman).
* The 'disconnect' command now accepts an optional message list specifying
messages to be read into the IMAP cache before the connection is closed.
* The new 'cache' command reads a list of messages into the IMAP cache.
* IMAP BODY.PEEK[] is now used when fetching messages from the server, and
the '\Seen' flag is set when the 'quit' command is executed. Thus an
'exit' command does not cause messages marked to be read.
* The 'connect'/'online' commands now announce new messages that are found
on the server.
* The 'replyto' variable can now contain multiple addresses.
* If the 'sort' command is used without arguments, the current sorting
criterion is printed.
* The 'sort', 'thread', 'unsort', and 'unthread' commands now only print a
header summary if the 'header' variable is set.
* The 'size' command has been fixed to print the full sizes of messages that
have not yet been entirely read in IMAP and POP3 folders, instead of the
sizes of the already downloaded parts.
* Deleted messages remained in the cache until an IMAP folder was accessed
a second time since 11.3. They are now deleted immediately when a folder
is quit in online mode.
* The configuration system now also checks for iconv() in libiconv if it is
not found in one of the standard libraries (Matthias Andree).
* Specifying LIBS on the make command line does now work with several make
implementations of commercial Unices too (Bugreports by Matthias Andree,
Matt S).

qgreylist is a 'lite' version of greylisting. It greylists only by
source IP address, mainly because it's written as a wrapper for
qmail-smtpd so has no other information available. For home and
small office use this works nearly as well.
