Using Arachne e-Mail


If you want to send and recieve e-Mail with Arachne, you have to go to the options page. You have to correctly setup SMTP and POP3 server name in network settings section, timezone and mail directory in local settings section and fill your personal inforamtion and and mail transfer preferences to personal settings section.

Once the eMail is configured, you can use Mail Page graphical interface to compose, send, recieve and read messages and files, you can send mails using mailto type of URL, you can e-Mail all displayed documents by just pressing the <F2> key and send other files by just clicking on their icons. You can choose two ways to submit each e-Mail: send it immediately to Internet (if you are online), or just to save it on your disk to OUTBOX folder. In the second case, message will actually leave your computer after clicking on the SMTP upload icon in the Mail Page (of course, you must be online to perform the upload). If you choose to send the mail when you are offline, the message will be saved to OUTBOX.

In case that you don't want your POP3 password to appear in ARACHNE.CFG file, you have to enter password to the input field in the top left corner of Mail Page and press Accept button each time you restart Arachne.

You can also download mail by giving following URL to Arachne:
pop3://username:password@server
