║║   MaxMail is an Offline Message Host... You will be able to pick areas   ║║
║║ to scan for messages in, and then download the resulting packet of mail. ║║
║║ You may select either QWK or standard text packets. QWK has many more    ║║
║║ features, such as uploading replies. We reccomend using QWK format!      ║║
║║                                                                          ║║
║║   Once downloaded you can then read and reply to the mail, using a QWK   ║║
║║ style offline reader. You can then call back and upload your replies to  ║║
║║ the system, and they will automatically be put in the correct echo area. ║║
║║                                                                          ║║
║║   You may also turn echo areas on and off remotely (see your QWK reader  ║║
║║ documentation). The menus in MaxMail are self explanatory, with options  ║║
║║ for Changing your configuration, Uploading, and Downloading Messages.    ║║
║║                                                                          ║║
║║   First you will want to pick areas to have maxmail scan for mail. Then  ║║
║║ you will want to scan for mail in those areas. Having done that, Maxmail ║║
║║ will ask you if you wish to download the file. If you have any problems  ║║
║║ or questions about MaxMail, please ask the Sysop.           Thanks       ║║
║║                                                                          ║║

║║    to the ones you currently scan. You can add one or more areas.        ║║
║║ [R]eset message pointers - This function allows you to control what      ║║
║║    message number your scan begins at in each area. Normally this is     ║║
║║    automatically taken care of by MaxMail. Each time you scan for mail   ║║
║║    MaxMail updates your lastread pointers to the last message scanned.   ║║
║║    Should you decide to scan for messages closer to the beginning of the ║║
║║    message base you can use this command to set the message number to    ║║
║║    scan from. You will be asked what area to change and what message to  ║║
║║    start scanning at.                                                    ║║

║║ [S]can for new messages - This is the default command of the MaxMail     ║║
║║    menu. If you press Enter, this command will be executed. This causes  ║║
║║    MaxMail to start scanning your currently selected message areas, and  ║║
║║    then pack them up using your selected packer. At this point MaxMail   ║║
║║    will ask you if you wish to download the packet of mail, and if you   ║║
║║    wish to hangup after the download. These packets are then viewed by   ║║
║║    your QWK compatible offline message reader.                           ║║

║║ [U]pload Rep Packet - If you have selected the QWK mail packets in your  ║║
║║    configuration, this command will allow you to upload reply packets    ║║
║║    that have been created by your offline message reader. Once you have  ║║
║║    uploaded your reply packet, MaxMail will automatically unpack it and  ║║
║║    toss the messages into the correct areas on the BBS.                  ║║
