- NAME
-
- YGM 2.4 (24.8.2000)
-
- Public Release #7
-
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- YGM stands for 'You've Got Mail'.
- It checks your POP mailboxes for new mails so that you do not have to
- start your favourite yet sometimes bulky mail client just for this.
-
- YGM shows you how many mails are waiting in your mailboxes for download
- and their approximate size.
-
- YGM is also useful for email providers who require a POP3 authentication
- before you are allowed to send emails over their SMTP servers, a security
- feature also known as 'SMTP-after-POP'.
-
-
- EINFÜHRUNG
-
- YGM steht für 'You've Got Mail' ('Du hast Post' oder auch 'e-m@il für
- Dich' ;-).
- Es prüft die eigenen POP-Mailboxen auf neue EMails, so daß dafür nicht
- extra der sonst bevorzugte aber manchmal etwas voluminöse EMail-Client
- gestartet werden muß.
-
- YGM zeigt an, wie viele EMails in den eigenen Mailboxen auf den Download
- warten, sowie deren ungefähre Größe.
-
- YGM ist außerdem bei EMail-Providern nützlich, die eine POP3-Authentifi-
- zierung erfordern, bevor EMails über deren SMTP-Server verschickt werden
- können, ein Sicherheits-Feature, das auch als 'SMTP-after-POP' bekannt
- ist.
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- ° AmigaOS 2.04 or higher - AmigaOS 3.5 or higher recommended.
- ° AmiTCP 4 compatible TCP/IP stack
- ° ReAction classes or fgui.library V1.x (included in this distribution)
- ° An Internet connection and a mail account with POP3 access
-
-
- CHANGES SINCE V2.2
-
- ° The connection with a mail server can now be stopped *immediately* by
- hitting the 'Stop' button - this eliminates waiting for a timeout.
- ° Checking the current mailbox can now be skipped by hitting the new 'Skip'
- button.
- ° The mailbox status gadget now has a vertical scroll gadget when using the
- ReAction GUI module.
- ° The GUI will now refresh immediately after a resize when YGM is busy
- talking to a mail server.
- ° Each line in the ACCESSFILE may now also contain an 'Alias' and a
- 'Disable' field.
- ° Leading and trailing blanks in fields of ACCESSFILE lines will now be
- ignored too.
- ° Usernames and passwords specified in the ACCESSFILE may contain the
- character '#' now.
- If an ACCESSFILE line does not contain all necessary values (username,
- password, server) a specific message will be written to the logfile.
- ° The argument BUSYICON has been added to specify a different Icon image
- when YGM is querying the mail server.
- ° The Menu 'Mailbox' with its item 'Execute RUNCOMMAND' has been added to be
- able to execute the program or script specified with RUNCOMMAND if at
- least one mailbox being queried has new or old mail.
- ° The Menu 'Window' with its items 'Snapshot' and 'UnSnapshot' has been
- added allowing to fix and free the GUI position and dimension.
- ° YGM's AppIcon position can now be fixed and freed using the appropriate
- Workbench menu items under OS3.5.
- ° YGM will now remember checked mails by default even when the program has
- been stopped and restarted.
- ° Specifying DELAY with values smaller than 50 didn't work properly.
- ° YGM now expects V3.x GUI modules.
- ° YGM now expects V2.x language catalogs.
