 +On some systems when POPFile's system tray icon was used it was possible for POPFile to lock up or freeze if the cursor was moved over the icon while POPFile was checking or downloading mail. For this release the system tray icon code has been re-written to reduce the chance that POPFile will lock up or freeze when the system tray icon is used.

 +In earlier releases of POPFile if you attempted to view the trayicon's tooltip or hover your cursor over it while checking or downloading mail POPFile might freeze on some systems. The exact cause is still unknown but it may be related to some video drivers.
  
-With certain setups, if you attempt to view the trayicon's tooltip or hover your cursor over it while checking or downloading mail POPFile may freeze. The exact cause is still unknown but it may be related to some video drivers. If this problem affects you turn off the trayicon. +For this release a new approach to creating the system tray icon has been used. Initial testing suggests that this new code is much more robust and that POPFile will no longer freeze as often as it did before.
  
-Due to this issue, we suggest users of the IMAP module disable the trayicon since a freeze may go unnoticed more easily than when using a mail client to make POP3 connections. +However it is possible that on some systems the new trayicon may still cause some problems. For this release we suggest users of the IMAP module disable the trayicon since a freeze may go unnoticed more easily than when using a mail client to make POP3 connections.
