Carthy has released a new version these days: 2.80 major change was to use Edge Webview now instead Internet Explorer which gets EOL in june'22 pretty cool, i hoped he do so. https://rimarts.co.jp/becky.htm To notice: The "Powerful Customizer" is not usable in 2.80 or newer, Becky! will crash. (plugins > bkpwcust.dll) further - Becky! 2.80 do not load compacted Plugins, eg from aspack, asprotect and similar.
A bit offtopic maybe, can anyone based in Japan help me to buy the Japanese version keycode so I can use English version and thus support the deveoper ? Will send funds in advance - Please reply as private message(conversation) Thanks Ska
I kinda like Becky, just tested it. But fetching emails took a about 20sec, while Gmail Notifier Pro does it instantly.
i am running Becky! Mail since v1 and NO issues that far, Carthy is a very ambiguous author. i use a lot of plugins. 2.75.04 is currently the latest here because of powerful customizer (do not work with 2.80). Becky! Mail is also portable with its preliminaries, fast and secure mail program. its not that hyped as TheBat, Outlook, emClient or other, but i love it for years. it exist in english, japanese and german, i am proud of my landsman doing that job i did before, its a lot of work. meanwhile i prefer the english build. i dont have any clue why VS is complaining but at least it only could be a false positive. this is some piece of software vs a lot of experience, and i prefer my 20 years of experience with Becky! now ^^ i know some user switched to Thunderbird, for no reason i would say. Thunderbird includes a rendering engine named gecko, while Becky! saddled on internet explorer and now MsEdge. thats why it is such damn small. it offers a lot of features, some by plugins, you can style your own buttons with ease (do not rely on an extension). Becky! is windows only but should run with WINE. the "powerful customizer" is mandatory from my view, too sad it will make Becky! crash at this time. thread http://www.rimarts.com/b2board/b2bo...HNyKChCJ9rpFo=/detail/b2board.cgi?tree=r54312 (use a translator please) BTW anyone has stored this build? Code: Powerful Customizer Version 0.2.28.21 my current build is 0.2.17.21 from tietew itself, but that page is gone and lost (wayback machine is only source now)
You did a great job, Brummelchen. OT: I remember me the old Becky Users Forums from morelerbe some 20 years ago (or how long ago was it?). Maybe there are not much active members here anymore who do remember it, but I do.
Reports of 2.80.07 crashing and not working for some. Registry backup utility no longer works in 2.80. Becky forum here
A VS alert does not necessarily mean the app is malware. It just means that the app's hash "thumbprint" is not on the whitelist. Moreover, VS's whitelist cloud is a reputation checker, and does not check for malware as such. SAP also is a whitelist based app. Did Apex or SAP's AVs in-the-clouds report that Becky is malware or was it just an anti-exe alert?
thx, i regret giving up. but thats way of life. i had my time and handed the job over i forgot too. MickeyTheMan is active here https://www.wilderssecurity.com/members/mickeytheman.486/ morelerbe is parked. yahoo group is gone. not tried yet, thx rimarts board http://www.rimarts.com/b2board/b2board.cgi my ancient thunderbird them works. but as mentioned above, Becky! do no longer accept packed resources thank you for clarifying the situation. this one? https://davidskirk.org/beckybackup/ he need to check the code. ok, need dotNET 3.5 which is not installed here, cant check out. he should create a version which bases on dotNET 4.8 - which is current, 4.6.1 ran EOL https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/lifecycle/products/microsoft-net-framework 4.7 to follow, for sure. wth!? not proper, but that tool is creating a batch file with (shorted code) it do not need 6k code for 80 bytes of batch. remind me to renew my own reg backup tool for becky, name was "b2breg" (.exe). it creates the backup in \mail\ folder like this "becky2_2022-05-17_19-15-07.reg" and \mail\ folder is backupped here regularly. 50k, can be smaller reg backup with powershell (in general, sorry, in german) https://www.clearbyte.ch/registry-keys-exportieren-mit-powershell/ eg Code: $strExportRegKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RimArts\B2\" $strExportFileName = "becky2_$(get-date -f yyyy-MM-dd_hh-mm-ss).reg" $strExportPath = [System.Environment]::GetFolderPath([System.Environment+SpecialFolder]::Desktop) reg export $strExportRegKey $strExportPath\$strExportFileName $strExportPath can be any valid path, the example is desktop folder save code as "b2breg.ps1" and execute it.
based on the current Gmail and 2FA problem for many people - Becky! is capable of using OAUth2 too, found it today in settings. (usable for gmail and outlook.com)
