About e-mail notify

I wrote e-mail notify because I connect my home computer to the school computers through a PPP link and a 14,4k modem. I wanted to keep my mail folders on the school computer because it is the only way I can access them from both school and home. For this reason, I needed a windows program that tells when there is new mail without retrieving it and without taking to much of the sockets bandwidth.

e-mail notify has the ability to check for mail on your pop-server and will get the headers of any mail you have waiting for you. e-mail notify can check for you regularly on the pop server. e-mail notify will never retrieve, nor delete the mail from the pop server. You will need another program to read the incoming mail. e-mail notify will use windows 95's new shell features to be more intergrated in the user interface. You will see the red icon of e-mail notify in the Tray in the right part of the Taskbar of Windows 95. You are able to configure control e-mail notify with right and left mouse clicks on this icon.

Some of you, who have a windows 95 or NT (maybe, I did not test it) computer directly on the Internet, might be able to use e-mail notify in conjunction with another e-mail windows application.

This is the first alpha release of e-mail notify. It has only been tested with windows 95 and it won't work with win32s since it is a Multi-Threaded application. If you have any comments about it, please tell me about it. I you people who take a look at it are convincing enough, I might hear you and enhance the program if you have some ideas. The program is currently an e-mail-ware, which means the only thing you will have to do, to get the right of using this program is to send me an e-mail.
