PSPoste beta 7 released: full featured PSP email app

Want to send/receive email via your PSP? PSPoste is best way to achieve this. From PSPoste.org: "It supports the SMTP and POP3 protocols (possible future IMAP support), and provides a skinnable user interface allowing the user to retrieve, compose and display messages from multiple email servers. Several input methods are included with PSPoste, choose the one best suited for you.

Here's a list of what's changed in Beta 7:

  • Support more IR keyboards by using the pspirkeyb library, see PSPoste/Data/pspirkeyb/ for configuration of your keyboard.
  • Better random number generation for TLS based connections, acknowledgements to Zx81 for his work on PSPSSH and Theodore Tso for the original RNG work.
  • On first start, users will be prompted to press buttons randomly to generate the random seed file.
  • Use the extra RAM of the PSP Slim.
  • Fix a crash when opening the settings window when no network connections are defined.
  • Fix another crash opening the settings window that would occur randomly.
  • Fix a bug in the logging mechanism that meant errors and output weren't properly being written out to the log files.
  • Fix a problem connecting using a manually configured WPA connection.
  • Make the cursor visible at all times while typing (as opposed to blinking throughout).
  • Explicitly load the IrDA module so IR Keyboards work on firmwares > 3.03OE.
  • Adjust heap and thread stack sizes.
  • Fix some memory leaks and uninitialzed variables.
  • Set the timezone to whatever the PSP has configured."
PSPoste has only been fully tested on the 1.5 firmware but there is some support for recent cfw's (see bottom of news page on PSPost.org). PSPoste is well worth giving a try if you have a serious need for a homebrew email app.
