For as long as I can remember, this has never worked. The patch check claims it's successful but never discloses any patches available.

This url is queried:
/patchcheck/patch.asp?PRODUCTID=8&BUILD=20090826

The following is returned:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<patches>
</patches>

From patchsvc.txt:

"patchsvc","*** Initilaizing  Patch Checking Module"
"patchsvc","Using registry root: SOFTWARE\GFI\ME14"
"patchsvc","Using application root: C:\Program Files\GFI\MailEssentials"
"patchsvc","Using MDB: C:\Program Files\GFI\MailEssentials\config.mdb"
"patchsvc","adminemail: me@mysite.co.uk"
"patchsvc","patchsvc enable: Yes"
"patchsvc","Using build number: 20090826"
"patchsvc","Using product patch ID: 7"
"patchsvc","Plugin initialized successfully"
"patchsvc","worker thread completed"
"patchsvc","Number of patches available: 0"
"patchsvc","*** Ending GFI MailEssentials Patch Checking Module"

I've noticed that as well, it seems this feature is useless at the moment; it never reports any patches available.

I didn't realise until recently that patches were available for ME, as it never said there were any before. Can't even remember it telling me of any patches for any version I've used. I assumed the only changes available were different build numbers from the version check when a service release was released :|
