Misc
Logfile
Full path and name of optional logfile to use for logging sending and receiving of mail and news.
No logging
Logging will not be done when this gadget is checked.
EMail Address
This is your email address.
Real Name
This is you full real name.
Edit Headers
This option will let you edit custom header fields to be used when posting news or mail from THOR. Fields can include "Reply-To: <address>", "Organization: Not organized", etc. If THOR is running when you select this option, the editor configured in THOR will be used. Otherwise, a name of an editor to use must be entered in the requester that comes up.
Delete Header
Will delete the custom header file for this system. Use this with caution since there is no way to get it back once it's deleted (except for using DiskSalv or somesuch :)
Mail
Mail Server
This is the server that will be used when receiving mail (and sending mail, unless you have configured another server as SMTP Server for sending mail). Typing in the name or IP address of your pophost/mailserver will do.
Delete mail from POP server
Checking this item will make ConnectTHOR (GetTCP) delete the mail from the remote POP server after the mail has been successfully collected. You might choose to let the mail remain at the remote POP server, in which case only the mail that is new from the last time will be collected.
SMTP Server
This is the optional SMTP server used when sending mail. Normally, you do not need to configure this and can use the Mail server above for both collecting and sending mail.
Loginname
This is the name you log on to your account with.
Get from EMail address
By setting this checkbox, the login name will be resolved from your configured email address.
Password
This is an optional password. By setting the "Ask every time" option, you will be prompted for the password before collecting mail. This is the best solution for security reasons.
POP Port
If your pop server is on some other port than the default 110, set this to the correct port.
News
Newsserver
Enter the name or IP address of the newsserver (NNTP server) you will use to get news from.
NNTP Port
If the newsserver you are using are running on some other port than the default 119, enter the port here. This should normally be kept at the default 119.
Sockets
This is the number of sockets (connections) to use when collecting news. By setting this to 2 or higher, you might get a 30-80% speedup when collecting news, depending on your connection, your diskspeed, your THOR setup and your newsserver. 3 or 4 sockets are generally good numbers to use. By using more than one socket, more of the available bandwidth will be used.
Max Msgs
This is the maximum number of articles that is to be collected from each newsgroup you are subscribing to. If you choose to use this option, you might miss some articles, but using it can be usefull when you have been away or somesuch, and do not want to collect all articles since the last time.
NNTP Access Authentication
No NNTP Access Authentication (normal setting)
If your newsserver do not require username and password, check this option. Normally, authentication is not needed.
NNTP UserID
This is the user id you have been given to have access to the newsserver, if it requires authentication.
NNTP Password
This is the password you have been given to have access to the newsserver, if it requires authentication.
Aminet
This window is used for configuring the ftp/Aminet support added in THOR 2.4.
Prefered Aminet site
This is the Aminet site you would prefer to use for uploading or downloading files. Note that the base directory can be changed, but normally it should be left as it is.
Download dir
This directory will be used for storing files collected.
Get .readme files
Selecting this option will cause THOR to get the corrensponding .readme file for each file.
Save
Save the configuration. If you start this program from ConnectTHOR, ConnectTHOR will update its internal variables to reflect on the configuration saved.
Cancel
Cancel the changes and quit the CfgTCP program.
