Files on the Diskette
---------------------
Oxford Easy Mail is supplied on one 5.25 or one 3.5 inch diskette and consists
of the following files:
MAIL.EXE The Oxford Easy Mail program
CHKMAIL.EXE Use in system login script to do a quick check for mail
OEMHELP1.HLP Oxford Easy Mail help files
OEMHELP2.HLP
OEMHELP3.HLP
OEMHELP4.HLP
OEMHELP5.HLP
OEMHELP6.HLP
OEMHELP7.HLP
Installation Steps
------------------
1. Login as Supervisor
2. Copy all files on the diskette to SYS:/PUBLIC
example: copy a:*.* f:\public
3. Flag all files to be shareable, read-only
example: flag oem*.hlp /share /read-only
4. Make SURE each intended mail user has a Full Name in SYSCON. Enter the name
in Last Name, First Name order (i.e. Studebaker, Iggy). To exclude a user
(such as print servers) merely begin their Full Name with an asterisk.
Groups can also be excluded this way.
5. Trustee Rights for Group Everyone MUST include SYS:MAIL [ WOC ]
(Netware 386) [ C ]
That's it! When a user starts up Mail, the program looks for mail files in
their userid directory (which Netware creates automatically for every user).
If there are no mail files, they are instantly created and an item welcoming
them is placed in their Incoming Mailbox.
Mail File Maintenance
---------------------
For peak efficiency and access speed, maintenance should occasionally be
performed on the mail files. Maintenance can be performed as often as desired,
but we recommend at least twice a year. Performing maintenance is very simple,
requiring only a secret keystroke and a menu selection. Details of this
procedure are on the next page.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Administrator's Guide Page 1
Oxford Easy Mail Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mail File Maintenance continued
-------------------------------
When Maintenance is performed, every SYS:\MAIL\ directory is checked for the
existence of mail files. If they exist (and if they are not being used), data
from the files are saved, the files are re-created, and the data are replaced.
On average, this process takes around 5 seconds per user - depending on the
amount of mail in the files and the speed of the machine on which this task is
performed.
Maintenance Steps
-----------------
1. In order to perform Maintenance, you MUST be either logged in as SUPERVISOR
or have SUPERVISOR equivalence.
2. Start up the Mail program as usual.
3. While the Main Screen is displayed, Press <Alt-M>. (This keystroke is only
operational if you are SUPERVISOR or have SUPERVISOR equivalence!) This
should bring up the following screen:
-------------------------- Oxford * Easy * Mail (v3.2) -------------<F1> Help---
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------- Mail File Maintenance ---------------------
| |
| This utility finds all SYS:/MAIL/ directories with Mail files |
| and reconstructs them (saving the data of course) in order to |
| optimize file access speed and reduce file size. |
| |
| File Maintenance should be performed on an occasional basis |
| for peak performance. Since files which are in use will be |
| passed over, Maintenance is best done after hours. |
| |
| |
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| Perform Maintenance Cancel Maintenance |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
4. If you wish to perform mail file maintenance, select Perform Maintenance
from the menu. Otherwise select Cancel Maintenance or press <Esc> to return
to the Main Screen. Note: maintenance can be canceled at any time after it
has begun by pressing <Esc>.

Editing Screen Elements
-----------------------
The Editing Screen is made up of four elements;
======= 1 ======= 1 * Title line
|-------2-------|
||-------------|| 2 * Mail Header
|| 3 ||
|---------------| 3 * Mail Text
------- 4 -------
4 * Mail Text Menu
1 - Title Line
--------------
The top line on the screen, or Title Line, displays the program name and version
number.
2 - Mail Header
---------------
This section of the screen displays the Received From name, Sent To name,
Subject, and Date & Time Sent for the mail being edited. If this mail is being
created, then the Sent To name and Date & Time Sent will be blank.
3 - Mail Text
-------------
This section of the screen contains the text of your mail. The text will word
wrap automatically and is limited to 64,000 characters. When the cursor is in
this area, an indicator appears which displays the Insert/Overstrike status, and
the Mail Text Menu appears.
4 - Mail Text Menu
------------------
When the cursor is in the Mail Text area, the Mail Text Menu appears. This menu
lists some of the actions available while editing. A full list of keystrokes
and their actions appears on Page 17.

Editing Screen Notes
--------------------
Editing the Subject
-------------------
You may edit the Subject when you are editing mail you created in your Outgoing
Mailbox. (The Subject is not available for editing when use the Reply option in
the Incoming Mailbox.) When you press <Enter>, or if you fill out the Subject
completely, the cursor will jump down to the Mail Text area.
Editing the Mail Text
---------------------
The Mail Text area displays 15 lines at a time of up to 72 characters. It word
wraps automatically and has a limitation of 64,000 characters per mail item. If
there are more than 15 lines in a given item, arrows appear on the left and
right side of the Mail Text area, near the bottom. These arrows indicate that
you will need to move the cursor to see the rest of the text. See page four of
this section for a listing and explanation of the Editing Screen keystrokes.
Creating blank lines
--------------------
Blank lines can be created in two ways;
1. Put the cursor at the end of the line above the desired location for the
blank line. Press <Enter>.
2. Put the cursor at the beginning of the line where you want a new blank
line. Press <Enter>.
Reformatting paragraphs
-----------------------
Pressing the <Enter> key is the same as a carriage return. A paragraph is any
text between two carriage returns or between the beginning of the text and the
first carriage return. When reformatting text with the <Alt-P>, remember that
the reformatting takes place FROM THE POSITION OF THE CURSOR TO THE END OF THE
PARAGRAPH. If you wish to reformat an entire paragraph, the cursor must be at
the beginning of the paragraph.
Aborting
--------
When you press <Esc> to abort editing, one of two things will happen. If you
have made no changes, you will immediately be returned to the Mailbox Screen
from whence you came. If you have made changes, you will be asked to verify
that you indeed wish to abort and lose the changes. If you answer 'No', you
will be placed back in the Mail Text. If you answer 'Yes' the changes will be
lost and you will be returned to the Mailbox Screen from whence you came.

Sending/Forwarding Mail
-----------------------
Mail in your Outgoing Mailbox can be Sent to others. Mail in your Incoming
Mailbox can be Forwarded to others. The screens and actions of Sending and
Forwarding are the same. To simplify this discussion, the following refers to
both Sending and Forwarding unless otherwise stated. The Send screen looks
something like this;
--<Alt-T> Tag/Untag One--- Oxford ∙ Easy ∙ Mail (v3.2) ------<A-Z> Quick Find---
--<Alt-A> Tag/Untag All----------<Alt-G> Groups--------------<Alt-S> Send Mail--

| | Studebaker, Iggy | |
| | Tchaikovsky, P. | |
| | Verdi, G. | |
| ------------------------------ |
| |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------
Throughout this documentation we will refer to this as the Send Screen. The menu
selections on the Send Screen are made a bit differently from those on the other
screens. This is to prevent accidental Sending, and to maintain consistency on
the Send menu. On the Send Screen, one or more recipients may be selected to
receive the highlighted mail item. The next three pages will describe the
elements of the Send Screen and the Send Screen Menu options.

Send Screen Elements
--------------------
The Send Screen is made up of four elements;
╒====== 1 ======╕ 1 = Title and Menu lines
| --2-3-4-- |
| | | | | | 2 = Tag column
| | ----- | |
| --------- | 3 = Full Names of Mail users
-----------------
4 = Tag Statistics
1 - Title & Menu lines
----------------------
The top line on the screen, or Title Line, displays the program name and
version number. The second line, or Menu Line, displays the currently
available menu options. The highlighted letter of each option is the one which
invokes the action. For example, pressing <Alt-T> at the Send Screen lets you
Tag a name.
HINT: The first option of every menu may be also selected be
pressing <Enter>.
2 - Tag Column
--------------
An asterisk in this column indicates that a name has been Tagged to receive a
copy of the highlighted mail item.
3 - Full Names of mail users
----------------------------
The names in this column are the Full Names of users as entered in the Novell
Syscon utility, usually by your network administrator.
4 - Tag Statistics
------------------
The Tag Statistics indicate how many names have been tagged out of the total
number available. For example, assuming there are a total of 20 names on the
Send list;
Number of names Tagged Tag Statistics Display
---------------------- ----------------------
0 (0/20)
3 (3/20)
10 (10/20)
The Send window can only display 18 names at a time, so the Tag Statistics can
tell you if there are names tagged (or untagged) that are not currently visible
in the window.

Send/Forward Menu
-----------------
--<Alt-T> Tag/Untag One--- Oxford ∙ Easy ∙ Mail (v3.2) ------<A-Z> Quick Find---
--<Alt-A> Tag/Untag All----------<Alt-G> Groups--------------<Alt-S> Send Mail--
There are five options on the Send/Forward menu. The options are selectable by
typing the highlighted letter, or by pressing <Enter> to select the first menu
option. The Incoming Mailbox options are explained below.
Tag/Untag One
-------------
Position the cursor on the desired name. To toggle the Tag mark (which is an
asterisk) press <Alt-T> or <Enter>. Do this once and the Tag mark appears. Do
it again and the Tag mark disappears, thereby untagging the name. You can
continue to Tag or Untag as many names as you wish.
Tag/Untag All
-------------
Press <Alt-A> to Tag or Untag all names on the list. You can verify the results
of your action by checking the Tag Statistics.
Quick Find
----------
You can quickly move through the list of names by typing the first letter of a
desired name. For example, pressing the letter <S> will move the cursor
immediately to the first name in the list that begins with that letter.

Tagging Group Members
---------------------
If you wish to Tag members of one or more Novell Groups, pressing <Alt-G> will
bring up a menu of Group names that looks something like this;
--<Alt-T> Tag Group------- Oxford ∙ Easy ∙ Mail (v3.2) ------<A-Z> Quick Find---
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------- Send To --(0/15)-------------------
|Ack |Sent To | Bach, ------------- Groups ------------ |

| Geroge Han| Brahms| Classical Composers |m |
| √ Franz Hayd| Chopin| Modern Composers |m |
| Igor Strav| Dvorak| Romantic Composers |m |

| | Haydn, F. J. | |
| | Mozart, W. | |

| | Stravinsky, I. | |
| | Tchaikovsky, P. | |
| | Verdi, G. | |
| ------------------------------ |
| |
| |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------
When you Tag a Group on this menu, you are returned to the Send Screen and all
the members in the selected Group are Tagged. You may make as many selections
from the Group menu as you wish. Also, individual selections may be combined
with Group selections.
Send Mail
---------
When you are finished Tagging names, press <Alt-S> to Send the highlighted mail
to the selected recipients. If the recipient is currently logged in, a Novell
message will appear at the bottom of their screen indicating that you have sent
them mail. If they are not logged in, you will receive a message that indicates
this, but the mail will still be sent. It is useful to know that since, if the
recipient is not logged in, an immediate reply is unlikely.

Printing Mail
-------------
When you select Print from the Incoming Mailbox, Outgoing Mailbox, or File
Cabinet, the Print Screen appears. The Print Screen contains a menu and
displays your current print settings. The Print Screen looks something like
this;

Throughout this documentation we will refer to this as the Print Screen. Unlike
the Main Screen, the Print Screen has an active light-bar menu. The next two
pages will describe the elements of the Print Screen and the Print Menu options.

Section: 8. Printing Mail Page 23
Oxford Easy Mail Documentation

Print Screen Elements
---------------------
The Print Screen is made up of three elements;
======= 1 ======= 1 = Title line
| -- 2 -- |
| |-----| | 2 = Print Menu
| | 3 | |
| ------- | 3 = Print Settings
-----------------
1 - Title line
--------------
The top line on the screen, or Title Line, displays the program name and version
number.
2 - Print Menu
--------------
This menu allows you to select a destination for the output, or change the Print
Settings.
3 - Print Settings
------------------
These are the settings that control how your output appears.
The Print Menu
--------------
There are three options on the print menu.
Print to Printer
----------------
Selecting this option causes mail to be printed to LPT1.
Print to File
-------------
Selecting this option causes mail to be printed into a disk file. A window will
appear and you will be prompted for a file name. Unless you supply a full path
along with the file name, the file will be written in the current directory.
Change Settings
---------------
This option allows you to change the current print settings. See below for more
information.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Section: 8. Printing Mail Page 24
Oxford Easy Mail Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Print Settings
------------------
Line Length
-----------
This is the length of each word-wrapped line.
Page Length
-----------
This is the number of lines which can be printed on a page. Depends on how your
printer is set up. Usually Length times Lines per Inch = Page Length. For
example, 11 inches times 6 lines per inch = Page Length 66
Top Margin
----------
The number of blank lines you want to appear at the top of each page.
Left Margin
-----------
The number of blank spaces you want to appear at the left margin of each line.
Init String
-----------
This is a sequence of codes (up to 40 characters) which is sent to the printer
prior to any text and is used to set the printer to a desired font, character
size, etc. These codes are very specific to each printer. Consult your printer
manual for more information. Examples include;
CHR(15) - Condensed mode for many printers
CHR(27)+'[0p' - Sets QMS Kiss to Portrait Mode
NOTE: Spelling errors, missing quotation marks, etc. can cause an
unrecoverable error in the program. You are, in essence, placing a line
of code into the program by entering an Init String. A syntactically
correct string will not cause an error. Check your Init String
carefully!
