dready blog v2.0

Tried out both YahooPOPs 0.5 and MrPostman to download my mails to my Mozilla Mail. After much difficulties, I finally managed to do it, and have decided to stick to MrPostman.

My experience with YahooPOPs was less than satisfactory (due in part to the fact that I tried to download 1000 messages all at once and the speed of download seems to have triggered a temporary block from Yahoo, giving me corrupted messages), so I moved on in search of a better alternative.

At first, I refused to try MrPostman based purely on the fact that it is a Java app. To this end, I must applaud the MrPostman team for making the installation so seamless - it’s a true-blue installer, no need to copy the Jar file somewhere and setup your own ugly shortcut to run java on it! It feels almost like a native Windows app.
