- CHKMAIL:
-
- This utility is designed to be used during your LAN logon sequence to
- check for incoming internal mail.
-
- Since you will need to be logged on to the LAN to access the central
- mailbox files you should insert a call to the chkmail program after
- the point in your login sequence that this access has been
- established.
-
- Typically it is anticipated that your LAN administrator can modify the
- standard login script for all users to include this mail check. This
- means that the chkmail program can reside on the LAN server and be
- invoked from there.
-
- The program should be invoked with a parameter pointing to the
- location of your sm-misc.cfg file. If you have selected the default
- installation this will mean the following command >>> chkmail c:\mail
-
- The program will sound a note and display a message if mail is
- waiting. You can then invoke See Mail itself to retrieve the mail.
-
- SCRDEF:
-
- This program allows you to create or alter the screens used by the See
- Mail rolodex module. The SCRDEF.HLP file explains more of the details
- of this. Also see the rolodex section of the user guide.
-
- MBXRESET:
-
- This program can be used to reset the mailbox file (mail.mbx) if it
- becomes corrupted and you cannot access it from See Mail.
-
- However this program does not re-build any of the data, it merely
- re-initialises the database.
-
- It is recommended that you backup the mail.mbx file, and any
- associated mail files at least once a day. In the event of a system
- crash you can then return to a point where the users can then re-send
- any mail from the that moment on.
-
- If mbxreset fails, and you have no back-up then the only way to recove
- is to delete the mail.mbx file, re-create it, and then get each user
- to use the See Mail Setup option to blank out their old user-id
- number, and then re-enter themselves into the mail system.
-
- MBXREMOV:
-
- This is only required if you need to completely delete a user from the
- mail system. Normally you can merely re-assign the user-id to someone
- else by using the mailbox modify user details option to change their
- name and so on to the new user.
-
- XLABEL:
-
- This utility allows you to print mailing labels for addresses that you
- have in your rolodex. If your rolodex files are not in the same
- directory as the XLABEL program you must enter a parameter when
- starting the XLABEL program to indicate the location of the rolodex
- you wish to access.
