Storm Crash Fixed

tiggit — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 09:42:53 +0000

Since the Storm was released there have been problems using Tiggit Mail on the Storm and the Storm 2. In short under certain configurations, the Storm (2) will crash unexpectedly, possibly several times a day.

Storm users may recall that earlier versions of the RIM OS had problems that caused the Storm to crash, but the OS is now much more stable. Regardless of this, tiggit mail (until now) causes the Storm to crash when it is used.

I have just posted a new version of tiggit mail 1.1.20.6 that appears to fix the Storm crash problem. Existing users can download simply by selecting Update from the settings menu, or buy using their BlackBerry browser to go here

BlackBerry Torch

tiggit — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 07:49:58 +0000

I have had a number of questions about both Tiggit Mail and Tiggit Controller running on the new BlackBerry 9800 “Torch”.

As far as I can tell, running the code on the simulator, there is no reason that Tiggit Mail should not run on the Torch, but of course all the usual constraints around carriers and corporate installations will apply.

I have a Torch on order, so when Vodafone makes them available in the UK, I will be able to provide some more definite information.

tiggit fails to exit

tiggit — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:40:39 +0000

When there are outstanding session requests in the session queue, and the user attempts to exit tiggit mail, the exit command will fail. Under certain circumstances, this may mean that it is not possible to exit tiggit mail.

This problem is fixed in a patch to 1.1.20 that I have just posted.

There is an additional change that improves the image loader for html messages.

Users should just select update to download this new version.

1.1.20 already

tiggit — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 07:04:10 +0000

Version 1.1.19 was fully released a little while ago. Unfortunately there is a problem using tiggit mail without an SD-Card, that causes messages larger than the pre-load size to be corrupted. And so, version 1.1.20, preview 1 is now available for download.

This version fixes the problem above, and adds support for character sets that are not natively supported on the BlackBerry device. This release adds

windows-1250 & iso-8859-2 - Central Europe

windows-1251 & iso-8859-5 – Cyrillic

windows-1253 & iso-8859-7 – Greek

windows-1254 & iso-8859-9 - Turkish

windows-1255 & iso-8859-8 - Hebrew

windows-1256 & iso-8859-6 - Arabic

windows-1258 - Vietnamese

iso-8859-15 – European

(BlackBerrys only support four character sets natively as the character set conversion is handled in the BlackBerry infrastructure. As emails can be sent in a wide variety of character sets, tiggit mail needs to know how to handle these character sets.)

This release can be downloaded in the normal manner from http://www.tiggit.com/tiggitmail/previewCheck.html, the usual caution should be taken when using beta software.

Preview 14

tiggit — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 09:53:49 +0000

12 came and went, and 13 is not a good number, so preview 14 is now available for download.

This preview fixes

some problems with internationalization of the labels on the password fields.
refactored detection of SMTP authentication type to resolve problems with STARTTLS sessions.

This preview can be download in the usual way.

preview 11

tiggit — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 17:31:18 +0000

This time I am determined to blog about a new post, before someone downloads it and tells me there is a serious problem. So – preview 11 is now available for download in the usual manner.

The important change in this build is the addition of support for STARTTLS on IMAP sessions. To enable this enable useTLS on the associated mailbox sessions. Tiggit Mail will examine the capabilities of the mail server and if STARTTLS is advertised, it will initiate a TLS session prior to authentication.

In addition this release fixes

problem with choice fields not being properly set on Mailbox Settings editor panels
changes to the way the FolderTable is populated
fixes a problem that caused a continuos loop under certain circumstances whilst moving messages.

preview 10

tiggit — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:21:16 +0000

Ok, the first thing I should explain is the jump from 4 to 10. This is not a whim,5,6,7,8 and 9 did exist albeit for a short time. Before I announce a preview I generally post the code in the preview directory and do a number of tests to make sure that upgrades and installs work correctly. What I have learned is that there is now sufficient interest in new versions of tiggit mail that when I post code there, it tends to leak out, and cause people problems (sorry John and Alex). Needless to say, it also means that I need to tick the version number etc.

This build feels like a release candidate. It has a few more changes, the most significant of which is BIS-B support and the ability to connect to an alternative host on higher port numbers, but I will post more about this later.

Most importantly, this release fixes the problem (introduced in p7) which resulted in tiggit deleting messages on the server when they should only have been deleted on the handheld, and only on the handheld when they should have been deleted on the server. But whilst I was fixing delete problems, I also fixed the annoyance where when messages are deleted the focus skips to the message two before the one that was deleted.

Also this build:

fixes problems decoding certain S/MIME signatures due to bugs in the RIM MIME decoder.
adds the option to indicate that all certificates should be trusted. This only works if MDS and BIS-B are not selected
fixes problems with choice fields
adds fast kets T and B to move to top and bottom of messages
better handling for missing headers within IMAP messages

You may notice that the settings now use plain english (or italian) descriptions of the settings rather than the internal (sometimes cryptic) keys.

Please remember there is no way of entering a license token in 1.1.19 – it will download from a server. Not all the license tokens are currently loaded on the server, so if you are using a trial license you will NOT be able to extend the trial with 1.1.19.

Registered users can download version 1.1.19, by clicking here and entering the email address that was originally used to register for tiggit mail. Exisiting license tokens will continue to work with this version. Users are advised to take appropriate precautions when upgrading to this version as all messages on the handheld may be lost

Goofy Build

tiggit — Fri, 14 May 2010 15:24:08 +0000

I have just noticed that the previous builds 17212 etc, are missing some bug fixes and features. This is (I am ashamed to say) is due to operator error. Anyhow, I have now got the right source code in the right place and rebuilt the release, ticked the version number to p5, and uploaded.

This is now available to download from the same link as below.
