Receiving Files By E-Mail
This is so simple to do it's absurd. When you collect your E-mails, @ccess Mail will collect the files sent to you by E-mail automatically. You don't have to do anything else.
@ccess Mail will automatically decode the file, assuming that the file has been UUENCODED or MIME encoded and put the decoded file in the download directory (which is the download directory under the main program directory) and place a message in your mail topic telling you about the file.
If you double click on the reference in the message window (or pressing Ctrl+O) then @ccess Mail will attempt to run the file, loading it into the application that is suitable for it according to your windows preferences.

This window displays the individual messages in a message folder according to the number @ccess Mail has assigned to a message, the author of the message and the subject of the message. The numbers section shows the relationship of messages to each other. The little lines linking one message to another are called "Threads" and show that some messages are replies to other messages.
