Automatically checks your Internet (or Intranet) e-mail server for new messages at the interval specified when you a connected trough a local area network (LAN).

If you clear this box, you must click Check for new mail now... on the tray icon context menu to check for new messages.


Specifies whether you want your computer to play a sound when new messages arrive when you are running Vypress Messenger. If you clear this check box, you do not hear any sound when new messages arrive, but the tray icon indicate that you have unread messages.


Specifies your e-mail client program, which will be started, if you twice click on new mail tray icon. If you not specify your e-mail client, the double click on this icon will be equivalent to a choice of the "Hide mail icons" from tray icon context menu.

If you want to use Microsoft Internet Mail as the mail program, enter here following line:

"C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE" /root, C:\WINDOWS\Internet Mail. {89292102-4755-11cf-9DC2-00AA006C2B84}

Certainly you need to replace C:\WINDOWS to name of a directory, in which you have Windows installed.

If you use Microsoft Outlook 98 it is recommended to enter line like following:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OUTLOOK.EXE" /recycle

To use Netscape Messenger as your e-mail client enter line like following:

Specifies the TCP and UDP port, which will use Vypress Messenger.

To understand, that such of TCP (or UDP) port, imagine, that to each person have allowed to select some last digits in number of their telephone – so that in this situation to ring up the person, it is necessary to know, what digits he has selected. Or it is simples to all people to select identical digits. Just so and a TCP port – you can select any number from 1 up to 65535 (however numbers up to 1000 it is not recommended), but then, that you could send the message, the person should use it sending just the same number of a port. Or you can use number by default and nothing to change (it is variant it is recommended). Number 7777 are used by default in programs Vypress Messenger.

You can interchange this value for security reasons (that you could be written only by insiders), or if it requires your system manager.


Restores the TCP&UDP port number to their default settings.


Specifies an amount of time in milliseconds (one thousandths of a second) during which Vypress Messenger will try and send your message.

If this number is set to a small value, then Vypress Messenger may not have enough time to send your message and may fail in sending the message, and if this value set too high then you may be waiting for a long time as Vypress Messenger tries to send your message.

The recommended time to send messages in a local area network as default is 3000ms or 3 seconds and for Internet it is 60000ms or 1 minute.

If checked, Vypress Messenger will minimize when all messages are deleted.


This option allows Vypress Messenger to process new incoming messages like WinPopup - i.e. don't change current message point when new message arrives.


If checked, Vypress Messenger will automatically save all messages when they arrive and restore it from files at startup. This option prevents Vypress Messenger to keep messages while Windows rebooted, program closed, etc.

Provides a space for you to type the text you want to filter. You can paste or drag selected text into this box.


Activates filtering of the duplicated messages.

This type of filtering allows mapping only first from the several contract of the absolute identical sent messages. For inclusion of this type of filtering it is necessary to you simple to include the appropriate switch on this page. The given type of filtering implements simples matching of the text of the come message with the text of the message, displayed in the present situation. In case of coincidence the come message is not mapped. So that if you delete the message earlier, than you one more will come precisely same, the come message will be again displayed. We recommend to not delete at once message, and to do it for want of accumulation of the several various messages.


Activates filtering of the messages from the users not brought in an Address Book.

This type of filtering allows to not accepting the message from the users not located in your address book. The appropriate switch on this page includes the given type of filtering. Pay attention, that not the address of the sender and availability of record in an address book conterminous to the system name of the sender is compared. It is caused by that there are dynamic IP-addresses and also possible support of the several protocols in following versions Vypress Messenger. To add the person in an address book from it by the system name it is easiest to take advantage of the appropriate Message choice.


This option need to check if you want to control passage of messages sent via UDP protocol (UDP in general don't allow guaranteed checking message transferring - by this reason Vypress Messenger and Vypress Auvis sends call back messages with confirmation).


This switch allows saving the not displayed (filtered) messages in the file, selected by you, so that you then could with them be acquainted. The given file is a plain text file.

IP Multicast is one-to-many transmission, in contrast to Unicast, Broadcast.

An extension to the standard IP network-level protocol. RFC 1112, Host Extensions for IP Multicasting, authored by Steve Deering in 1989, laid the groundwork for IP multicasting. The RFC describes IP multicasting as: “the transmission of an IP datagram to a ‘host group’, a set of zero or more hosts identified by a single IP destination address. A multicast datagram is delivered to all members of its destination host group with the same ‘best-efforts’ reliability as regular unicast IP datagrams.

The membership of a host group is dynamic; that is, hosts may join and leave groups at any time. There is no restriction on the location or number of members in a host group. A host may be a member of more than one group at a time.”


Add new IP-multicast group to join.


Removes selected multicast group.


Specifies the scope over which multicast transmissions will occur. Scope is defined as the number of routed network segments to be covered. A scope of zero would indicate that the multicast transmission would not be placed on the wire but could be disseminated across sockets within the local host. A scope value of one (the default) indicates that the transmission will be placed on the wire, but will not cross any routers. Higher scope values determine the number of routers that can be crossed. Note that this corresponds to the time-to-live (TTL) parameter in IP multicasting. By default, scope is 1.


Broadcast is one-to-all transmission where the source sends one copy of the message to all nodes, whether they wish to receive it or not. Broadcasts can only be sending over UDP protocol.

By default, broadcast address for your current subnetwork is 255.255.255.255. You can change broadcast address if routers or switches split your network to several network segments. For example, if you have 4 network segments 10.10.1.255, 10.10.2.255, 10.10.3.255 and 10.10.4.255 you need to add all 4 broadcast addresses to this field for appropriate using [All Broadcast] address.


Add new broadcast address to [All broadcast] group.


Removes selected broadcast address from [All broadcast] group.


Specifies to connect to the Internet through a proxy server by using the settings you specify.

A proxy server acts as a security barrier between your internal network (intranet) and the Internet, keeping other people on the Internet from gaining access to confidential information on your internal network or your computer.


Specify whether your proxy server uses the SOCKS 4A, SOCKS 5, or HTTPS protocol.
