Its been a few months since we’ve heard from the PSP Poste Team… But now they’re back with a brand new beta for you; well worth the wait I’d say. For those who are new, PSPoste is the first (and only) fully functional email (SMTP/POP3) client for the PSP — compose, send, receive, and organize all your mail while you’re on the go!

What’s new/changed/fixed in Beta 3?

• Support for TLS/SSL: This includes support for mail services like GMail and Yahoo.
• SMTP Authentication: Supports SMTP servers that require authentication (with or without TLS/SSL).
• Support for the Danzeff Keyboard and an analog version of the GUI keyboard.
• Account templates: allows for quick addition of predefined accounts. Supported accounts are currently GMail, Yahoo.com and Yahoo.ca (bring up the context menu in the accounts tab of the settings page – triangle).
• Easier account switching (bring up the context menu from the main window – triangle).
• Completely revamped account settings page.
• Support for account renaming.
• Password control that masks the input.
• Detailed error messages (error shows up in dialog instead of telling the user to open err.log).
• Currently active account now displayed in the main window.
• New checkbox and group box control.
• Auto update from old settings file format.
• HUHelp button moved from analog left to start button.
• Bugfixes in the context menu, CText, tabbed window, contacts edit window, input dialog.

Additional notes:

• using keyboards: There exists 2 keyboard modes for every keyboard we support. The first one is the navigation mode which allows you to navigate around the application. The second one is input mode, which allows you to type text in the input controls. The input mode is activated by pressing the activate control button (X) when a text control is selected. To return to navigation mode, press the start button. The P-Sprint and GUI Keyboards both have an additional mode for moving the cursor while in input mode, this sub-mode is toggled with the triangle button. The on screen keyboards can be moved from the bottom to the top of the screen by pressing the select button and holding down the R-trigger will enable the uppercase characters.
• changes to danzeff: To support cursor positioning using the d-pad in danzeff, the backspace shortcut is now R-trigger + Up and newline is R-trigger + down. The danzeff textures were shrunk to take up less screen real-estate and the keyboard is always translucent.

And finally how to install/upgrade:

• NEW INSTALL: unzip the PSPoste_Beta3_FW15.zip file to your PSP/GAME directory.
• UPGRADE: Make a backup of the existing PSP/GAME/__SCE__PSPoste/Data/SETTINGS.XML file, unzip the PSPoste_Beta3_FW15.zip file to your PSP/GAME directory, replace PSP/GAME/__SCE__PSPoste/Data/SETTINGS.XML with the file just backed up. If you renamed the __SCE__PSPoste directory and want to keep your email, just copy over the __SCE__PSPoste/store directory.

As requested by the author, the download link lands you on the sourceforge project page. Great work guys!
