Introduction

ICQ Email plugin acts as an email notification tool and enables you to be notified from your ICQ client program when you receive new email to your free ICQmail account or to any other account that you specify.

Once you have signed up to the ICQmail program you are ready to receive email messages to this account. When you receive email to your ICQmail account, a special ICQmail [image] icon will appear on your Contact List.

Once you have specified other accounts that you would like to receive notification of, you will receive a flashing [image] icon on your System Notice button, desktop tray and next to the sender’s name if he/she is an ICQ user and appears on your Contact List.

Email Express

ICQ Email Express gives you the option to receive e-mail messages to your ICQ Window from users who have access to an e-mail account, but not necessarily to ICQ. Give out your Email Express address to e-mail account holders that are not registered to ICQ. You may also use this feature to keep in touch with other ICQ users when you don’t have access to ICQ.

Only 450 characters of the e-mail may be sent. Longer e-mails must be sent both to the recipient’s e-mail address and to their ICQ. Recipients will receive the first 450 characters by Email Express and the entire message by e-mail.

To retrieve your own Email Express address:

Your Email Express address consists of your ICQ#, the at symbol (@), and then pager.icq.com. For example, if your ICQ# was 0001, your Email Express address would be: 0001@pager.icq.com.

Enhanced Email Check - Introduction

The ICQ Enhanced Email Check has a number of special features. For instance, the ability to check more than a single e-mail account and to delete incoming e-mail messages at the server of origin. This can be very beneficial when you receive large file attachments with your e-mail message, allowing you to avoid long download time. You can configure the number of lines that appear (up to 99) in the e-mail header message and decide if you want to delete the mail or download it in your e-mail program. When you view the message headers, the messages are still located on your ISP server and have not yet been downloaded to your computer. By deleting these e-mails, you will completely erase them from your e-mail server without an opportunity to later restore such emails.

In case an e-mail was sent from an e-mail address specified in the ICQ directories or on your Contact List for an ICQ account on your Contact List, such an ICQ account number and online/offline status will be listed in the list of incoming e-mails. In addition, you can also choose that upon receiving such an e-mail, a special icon will flash beside this ICQ account on your Contact List.

After you check an e-mail account, you can view the last date and time that the server was checked for e-mail. You can configure general sounds and animation files to notify you of incoming e-mail for all users or for specific users in your VIP accounts.

See E-mail—Preferences for configuring ICQ to send and check your e-mail.
