Version 3.41 (released: June 16, 2014)
-----------

Added new method to detect mail separators in mbox files. This change will recognize just about every non-standard separator that we've come across. However, it does slightly increase the risk of false positives (seeing a separator where there isn't one). You can reduce the risk of false positives by increasing the possibility that non-standard email separators are missed. To do so, set the "Strict mbox Mail Separator Format" option under "Advanced Options" submenu, which is available when you click on the Software button.
In Aid4Mail Console, use the /MailSeparator command-line switch to control this setting. To set the strict mbox mail separator format, use:

/MailSeparator=Strict

Version 3.3 (released: March 10, 2014)
-----------

Added options to save locally emails and attachments that fail to upload to an IMAP server. As a result, you preserve all the data that is rejected by the IMAP server. For example, if an email exceeds IMAP size limits, Aid4Mail can remove its attachments, save them locally, and then try uploading again. See under Software > IMAP Options menu.
Now adds Journal Report metadata to the message SMTP header: "X-MS-Journal-Report:" or "Content-Identifier: ExJournalReport".
Improved font sharpness when run under Windows high DPI settings.
