Latest News: Updated SSL dlls available for IMAPSize (April 26th, 2020)
Updated SSL dlls available for IMAPSize
Posted on April 26th, 2020
The SSL dlls that are distributed with the 2009 IMAPSize releases are outdated and some IMAP servers will deny it access. In order to allow IMAPSize to connect to such services, the most recent dll files from the OpenSSL project have been packaged and made available for you to download from the download page. Instructions for replacing the old dlls with the new ones is provided in the zip file.
IMAPSize source code released
Posted on September 17th, 2016
After a long period of project inactivity I am happy to announce that the IMAPSize source code has been released to the public. According to the download stats, IMAPSize is still widely used for maintaining IMAP accounts. However, technologies are changing and IMAPSize is slowly becoming outdated in some aspects. As I definitely no longer have the resources to improve it or even maintain it, I have released the source code in hope that someone will be interested in improving it or at least that parts of it may be reused in other useful IMAP related projects.

The code is currently hosted in two repositories:

1) The original code that compiles with Borland Delphi 5 and corresponds to the last released version of IMAPSize (0.3.7) can be found in https://sourceforge.net/projects/imapsize/. Setting up the project in Delphi 5 requires some old VCL components which are mostly no longer available, so they can be downloaded as a bundle from here

2) Roman Kassebaum has adapted the original code and third party libraries so that the project can be built with the latest version of Delphi Berlin. This version of the code is hosted on Bitbucket. Due to the nature of changes Roman had to make, some parts of the GUI don't work as smoothly as in the original version, but this repository is a good starting point for anyone wanting to contribute to the project or experiment with it using the latest version of the compiler as it should take less efforts to setup the project.

While Delphi is a commercial product and as such may not be attractive for wider masses, with some effort and possibly limitations the IMAPSize project could be migrated to Lazarus, an open source Free Pascal RAD IDE which has greatly evolved over the last years.

Best regards,
Ivan
Version 0.3.7 released
Posted on February 19th, 2009
After a very long pause, a new release is available for download from the download page. Release 0.3.7 fixes the following issues:

- Fixed problem with negative folder size display for accounts with >2GB
- Fixed a problem where a certain type of error [Command failed: UID FETCH x (UID)] was being reported in the backup details, but not in the backup summary and was therefore easy to miss. The underlying failed UID fetches are happening intermitently, if you experience this problem please follow the instructions in this post to help resolve the issue.
- Fixed dataDir issue described in this post
- Disabled internal development logging (debug.log). Was enabled by mistake in previous release.
- Fixed a special case of restoring failure reported in this post (server reports the folder doesn't exist but refuses to create it with a "Mailbox exists" message).
Version 0.3.6 released
Posted on January 8th, 2007
This release fixes annoying crashes which were occurring intermittently on some XP systems, introduced in 0.3.5.
Version 0.3.5 released
Posted on November 19th, 2006
Release 0.3.5 is now available from the download page with the following changes:

- Fixed problems with backups due to invalid (not RFC 822 compliant) date formats in messages
- Messages with invalid dates are no longer set to the current time in the message list, instead an old date is specified to avoid confusion
- The Save Attachments dialog now has checkboxes for prefixing the attachment filename with the current time (for uniqueness), the sender address and the message timestamp
- Messages in the Save Attachments dialog are now displayed with the message date
- The Backup filename template would not expand correctly in case an invalid Windows character was specified.

- Fixed a Namespace issue with some servers
- Fixed crashes when expunging folders without having messages displayed
- Fixed download to mbox/eml (was broken in 0.3.3)

Version 0.3.3 released
Posted on March 31st, 2006
A new release with two important fixes is now available for download.

This is a bug fix release, which fixes the main problems reported for 0.3.0

- Backup: Backups can now be invoked from the command line
- Backup: Backup folders are now preserved across program invocations
