MailStore Home backs up/imports e-mails from your mail client or account

MailStore backs up e-mails from your e-mail client or account and stores them in its own (compressed) database.

MailStore

You can import your mail from Outlook, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, Exchange, as well as POP / IMAP accounts (such as Gmail and Yahoo).

MailStore

It can re-export them, burn them to CD, search them and store your tree structure and the various accounts you've asked it to read.

This makes it possible to keep e-mail archives without necessarily weighing down your e-mail client, and to transfer e-mails between programs, since MailStore can also export all e-mails in eml format (which is universal), thus bridging the gap between different e-mail clients.

MailStore

Requires . NET Framework 2.0 minimum. Portable version available.

Clipboard Master enhances Windows clipboard functions

Clipboard Master enhances the functions of the Windows clipboard. Text, images, files and folders copied by pressing [Ctrl C] are automatically inserted into the clipboard.

Clipboard Master

Clipboard Master can store up to 10,000 records, with the most recent entry always at the top.

The practical Password Safe function saves usernames and passwords for easy pasting into dialog boxes or forms.

The Mails & letters function allows you to save formulations commonly used in your e-mail correspondence, etc.

Clipboard Master offers a wide range of configuration options, allowing you to customize behavior with personalized rules. It offers many powerful features that go far beyond the usual clipboard manager functionality, but it should be pointed out that its use is sometimes confusing. Indeed, its minimalist interface tends never to behave quite as we'd like.

You will no longer be able to activate Windows 10 and 11 with Windows 7 and 8 keys

You will no longer be able to activate Windows 10 and 11 with Windows 7 and 8 keys

Officially, Microsoft's free upgrade offer ended in 2016, but no one at Microsoft had bothered to reset the activation servers.

So the 25-character product keys from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 were still valid to activate a new installation of Windows 10.

Microsoft's announcement appeared on 20/09/2023 under this link

"translation below"

"Microsoft's free upgrade offer for Windows 10/11 ended on July 29, 2016. The installation path for obtaining the free Windows 7/8 upgrade is now also discontinued. Upgrades to Windows 11 from Windows 10 are still free."

In short, you can no longer activate Windows 10 and 11 with Windows 7 and 8 keys.

At a time when the company is talking about Windows 12, Microsoft has decided to put a definitive end to this possibility.

However, we don't know exactly how many people will be affected by this change of policy, nor when it will be effective for all PCs, a few days or weeks, with some Internet users mentioning that the transfer was still possible to this day.

Let's not forget that Windows 10 has a 10-year support lifecycle, and that it is scheduled to end on October 14, 2025. And what will happen on that date? Probably nothing.

Computers running Windows 10 will continue to function as they always have, but will no longer receive security updates. Any security flaws discovered after this date will not be corrected, making these computers increasingly vulnerable to attacks...which will certainly be countered by the anti-virus and anti-malware products of the software publishers.
