Part3 Service release fixes (V2.21)
====================================
* Pressing OK to save settings in system setup or schedule setup could cause
Mailcoach to terminate, leaving servers active.
* Schedule: When using several "interval" entries in the list, only the first
entry would be read.
* Changed threading model to threadpool to get better performance for
SMTP+POP3 servers
* Removed the limit of max 250 accounts.
* Memory leak in SMTP + POP3 servers, mainly showed up with POP3 service
as this is usually polled more frequently. Resulted in hanging application,
exception faults or messages of drained resources.
* It was impossible to cancel a retrying dialup.
* Distribution list. It was impossible to remove the last entry.
* When started (especially for the first time after boot) mailcoach
could terminate without reason leaving SMTP+POP3 servers active.
* When reinstalling to a different directory, the message "cannot find DLL!"
would show up
* Downloading large documents via POP3 would fail if download time
exceeded 3 minutes
* Using Modem devices in W95 with devicenames of more than 30 characters
would cause mailcoach to loose modem setting. Note that after this
update, you must select modem setting again.
* Introduced native NT service support - function to be treated as beta
and used on your own risk
* Changed the formatting of date stamps in headers as some clients was
unable to correctly interpret the local differential time.
* Corrected POP command TOP # # which didn't work with zero as No#
of lines
* Upon installation under windows NT, the following message could occur:
"The destination file is in-use. Please ensure that all other
applications are closed." The file specified was MSVCRT.DLL File was
in use by the operating system - Fixed.
