1. Introduction

Cool! Keep up to date with what’s happening in your mailbox. TickerMyMail checks at regular intervals to see if you have new mail and posts the most important information along the top of your screen as a ticker (Fig. 1). Click the ticker to open your e-mail program where you can call up the messages. While you’re surfing the Web, writing a text or playing computer games, TickerMyMail is keeping an eye on your mailbox and lets you know as soon as new messages arrive. You can check up to six individual e-mail account. You can delete a single mail by clicking the right mouse button.

2. Configuration

The program is very easy to install. The configuration page appears on your screen when you first start the program (Fig. 2). All you have to do is enter your email user name, your POP3 server and the password you use for access to your e-mail account. If you’re using Microsoft´s Outlook Express, you can just check the boxes for your e-mail address and POP3 server. You can setup up to six individual mail-accounts to be checked for new mail by selecting one of the tab-sheets called E-mail #1 to E-mail #6. For each mail-account you can specify individual background and textcolors.

If you are connected to the internet by a dial-up connection you may want setup Tickermymail to check your mailboxes only if the internet-connection is established. You can also define how often (in minutes) your mailbox is checked for new messages.

If you select "Autostart", TickerMyMail will start automatically when you run Windows.

If you select "Stay on top", TickerMyMail will always try to be the top window on your screen, meaning that no matter what you are working on, you won’t miss your mail.

The "Show an new mail" option ensures that the ticker automatically appears when new mail arrives.

A click to the ticker tape open your standard email-program. If you want TickerMyMail to open another mail-program than specified in the windows registry enter the complete commandline into the field "Call this Mailprogram".

You can change the background and font colours by clicking the colour boxes.

3. OK, lets go ... !

After you start the program, the TickerMyMail tray icon appears in the status bar beside the system clock (when you start the program for the first time, the configuration page also appears, see 2). That’s all you really have to do. As soon as new mail arrives, the ticker will appear on your screen (see Fig. 1), showing the sender’s name, the subject of the message, date, time and size. To read the message, click the ticker to access your e-mail program. TickerMyMail will then disappear from your screen and will not reappear until new mail arrives. To open the TickerMyMail program menu, right-click the tray icon (Fig. 3).
