Webmail

  • Open FAQ in new window How do I update to the latest WebMail plugin?
  • POP Peeper has the capability to automatically update the WebMail plugin when it has been updated and only if you need it (ie. if the update affects one of your account types).

    To enable automatic updates:

    1. On POP Peeper's main menu, select About POP Peeper under the Help menu
    2. Enable the option Automatically check for updates
    3. Enable the option Auto-Update WebMail plugin

    To force an immediate auto-update:

    1. On POP Peeper's main menu, select About POP Peeper under the Help menu
    2. The option Auto-Update WebMail plugin must be enabled
    3. Press the "Check Version" button

    To manually update the plugin:

    1. Download the WebMail plugin - Most people will find using the "exe" installer easier (be sure to tick the checkbox for "WebMail" on the 'Choose components' page); the remaining instructions are for the "zip" installation.
    2. Exit POP Peeper
    3. Extract the WebMail.dll file into the POP Peeper installation folder (C:\Program Files\POP Peeper\)
      Note: If you are prompted to enter a password when overwriting WebMail.dll, you need to make sure that you exit POP Peeper and try again.
    4. Restart POP Peeper

    More Information:

    If a newer version of the plugin is available but POP Peeper is not updating automatically, check the color of the "latest" version in the version list for WebMail:
    Red: a newer version is available and it affects you (will automatically download)
    Blue: a newer version is available and it does not affect you (will not automatically download)
    Green: a newer version is available, but it is incompatible with your current version of POP Peeper (you must update the main POP Peeper application)
