Getting Started.

MCI Mail Access:
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
o On a single user system - select the Setup option, choose the Mail
communications option. Choose the type of modem link you have, and fill
in the details as directed. If you specify your MCI Mail User ID, but
NOT the password, you will be prompted for the password each time you
access MCI Mail. Press <f10> to save details once everything is correct.
o For a LAN system where the See Mail program is NOT on your local disk
drive you must copy the MCIMAIL.COM and MMTERM.COM files to your mail
directory on your local drive. I.e. copy g:mcimail.com c:\mail
Once complete proceed with the Setup of Mail communications as for a
single user system.
o Go to the mailBox top menu selection and choose the "Online access to
MCI Mail". This enables you to view the dial up and logon. If all goes
well you can now use the "Post/open MCI Mail" option to automatically
receive and deliver mail. If this does not work refer to the
SEE-MAIL.DOC file for trouble shooting, and re-try the Setup.
Mail Access:
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
o See Mail uses FOLDERS to manage your mail. These include OUTGOING,
INCOMING, SENT, UNSENT and DRAFTS.
o To send mail you should first create a mail item and then save it in
your OUTGOING folder. Then you can select the open/post MCI Mail option
from the mailBox menu to actual send the mail out.
o Any mail that is waiting for you will be placed in your INCOMING folder.
If there is a problem with your outgoing mail (such as bad address) it
will be returned to you in the UNSENT folder.
o You may place mail in your DRAFTS folder to review it, or finish it at
a later time. Once it is complete you just move the file to the OUTGOING
folder using the file utilities. Then use the mailBox open/post MCI Mail
option as before.
