Mail Siphon has been greatly improved since the first version released in Marsh 1999. Mail Siphon II is now a true e-mail agent (to receive and send messages). It has the particularity to be the first on-line agent of its kind for the Macintosh: you still can easily read and delete messages from your mailboxes, but also reply to messages!
Mail Siphon features are:
- Simplicity and efficacity
- Speed
- Works on-line
- Security: none of the messages are stored on your disk
- Preview mode
- Multi-accounts savvy
- Handy tool to manage unwanted messages
- Easily reply to messages
- Many messages can be stored on your disk in only one file
Mail Siphon II is designed for people with permanent Internet access, but is also a must-have tool to anyone who wants to manage their mailbox.
Examples:
- to read then delete a message with a huge unwanted attachement.
- to access and answer your mails from anywhere.
- to purge your mailbox if you are the target of mail-bombing.
- to delete unwanted mails (SPAM).
How to set up your mailboxes ?
- When you launch Mail Siphon II, a 'Mailboxes' window opens with only the 'New' button enabled.
- Click on the 'New' button.
- A new window opens. You will have to enter the settings in this window.
- For an easy set up, click on the 'Use Internet Config' button. This will set up the account accordingly to the Internet control panel.
If you have problems configuring the mailbox, please ask you Internet Provider (ISP) or your system administrator.
How to open a mailbox ?
It's very easy. All you have to do is:
- open the 'Mailboxes' window if it's not already open. (via the 'Window' menu)
- double click on the mailbox you want to open.
How much does it cost ?
Mail Siphon II is a $15 shareware. I spent many hours on Mail Siphon II development to make it a quality product. If you like it and use it, please register via the 'Register Mail Siphon II' application or online via a Kagi secured server at <http://order.kagi.com/?S8W>.
How do I contact the author of Mail Siphon II ?
• You can send me an e-mail: <ACarlhian@mail.dotcom.fr>
• Here is my snail-mail address:
Alexandre Carlhian
75 Bld St Denis
92400 Courbevoie
FRANCE
• Go to the Malia Software web site: <http://www.maliasoft.com>
How can I pay the shareware fee ?
Paying for Mail Siphon is fairly simple. You can register from a web browser or with the register application.
• You can register online at <http://order.kagi.com/?S8W>.
• Open the Register program that accompanies isaBook. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you wish to purchase (or Site or Word-Wide licenses). Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi. More specifics on the Register program to follow. Kagi handles my payment processing.
If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-S8W
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical.
If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment.
Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end.
Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.
Payments send via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
