Schedule dialog Manual page 147, 155
This dialog box allows you to schedule times when Commander
Mail will check for new mail and send any messages in the Out
box. You must load mcidrivr.exe into the background to use
this feature.
To use this feature, enter the times that you want to
send/receive mail into the dialog box. For example, the
following dialog tells Commander Mail to send and receive
mail at 10:00 am and 12:00 am.
| ( ) On Demand |
| (.) Use Schedule Below |
| 10:00a 12:00a |
| : a : a |
Time fields will be 24-hour if there is no 'a' or 'p' at the
end of the field.
On Demand
When this radio button is set, Commander Mail will call MCI
only when you ask it to.
Use Schedule
When this radio button is set, Commander Mail will call MCI
at the times you've provided.
Loading the Driver
You can load the driver (mcidrivr.exe) into memory so you
can send and receive files in the background (this will use
about 95K of memory). Type mcidrivr at the DOS prompt to
load the driver:
C>mcidrivr
You can also send messages to the driver while it's loaded
in memory by typing "mcidrivr" followed by one of the
following switches:
Switch Mnemonic Operation
/N Now Send and receive mail now.
/A Abort Abort the current send/receive
session.
/X Exit Abort the current session and
remove driver from memory.
/S Status Sets DOS ERRORLEVEL to 0 if the
driver is not doing anything.
Sets to 1 if sending/receiving
mail.
/D Disable Disable the driver.
/E Enable Enable the driver.
