Icons Pane

This pane shows all of your emails in the currently selected folder. Each email is represented by an icon, which is either the default icon or if the email has come from somebody who is listed in your address book it will be the icon you assigned for that person. If the icon is spinning it means that you have not yet read the email, or if you are in the Out folder it means that you are still editing the email. An icon with a paperclip next to it shows you that this email has one or more files attached to it. The percentage score that Eureka Email gives to an email is shown to give you an idea of how close the email came to being considered a junk email.

You can move icons from one folder to another by clicking on one to select it and then dragging it to a different folder’s tab. Alternatively, you can press the Delete key which will delete the icon, or the Enter key which will move the icon to the Done folder or the folder you specified that emails from the sender of the email should be moved to.

To change to a different folder just click on the folder tab. You can create new folders by using the folders dialog box.

You can right click on the Icons Pane to bring up a pop-up menu of sorting options for the icons. You can choose to put the newest icons to the left or the right of the window, and you can sort the icons in date, name, email address, domain, subject, picture, status or junk score order.


Details Pane

The Details Pane shows you details on the currently selected email and also has a row of buttons that enable you to take action it, for example replying to it or deleting it. The sender of the email is shown at the top of the pane, followed by the people who the email was sent to (listed in alphabetical order), and then the attachments.

You can move the mouse cursor over any name to see the email address of that person, and you can right click on a name to see a list of actions you can carry out, e.g. replying to that person or doing a quick search for that person’s emails.

If you move your mouse over an attachment you can see the folder on your hard disk where it is stored. Right click on an attachment to run or open it, or you can open the folder in Windows Explorer.

When you are composing a new email you can select the "hide recipients" option. If this is selected then when you send the email to several different people they (the "recipients") will not be able to see who else you sent the email to. This is useful if you do not want all of the people you send the email to to know about each other, but it will also prevent any of them from doing a "reply to all" as they can't see each other's email addresses.


Email Pane

The Email Pane is where you can view and edit an email. It also shows the date and time that the email was sent (if you received it) or composed (if you are sending it).

Within the text of the email that you are looking at, all links to web pages on the Internet are underlined and displayed in blue and all email addresses are underlined and displayed in green. You can click on a blue web page link and your browser will display that page for you or you can click on a green email address and Eureka Email will create a new email addressed to that person ready for you to edit and send.

You can right click on the Email Pane to bring up a pop-up menu of editing options.

A small map of the world will highlight the part of the world the email came from, based on the time zone, to give you an indication as to where the sender lives.


How To Connect
How To Connect To My Email Servers

In order to send and receive emails over the Internet your Internet Service Provider (your ISP) will give you the addresses of the two servers that you will need and your username and password on the POP3 server.

POP3 server

The POP3 server is their server where they will store emails that people have sent to you until you are ready to download them. POP stands for Post Office Protocol as the server acts a bit like a Post Office holding on to your email until you want to pick it up. It is the most common way of downloading email and because the POP3 server is always online and ready to store your incoming emails it is especially useful if your computer is not connected to the Internet 24 hours a day.

A typical POP3 server address is something like pop3.myisp.com

SMTP server

You send out emails that you have composed to the SMTP server. SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and is the standard was for sending emails.

A typical POP3 server address is something like smtp.myisp.com

Username and Password

In order to prevent other people from downloading your emails from the POP3 server your ISP will have given you a username and password on it.


How To Read Email
How To Read My Email

Click on File | Send And Receive Emails. If you have not yet set up the connection information to let Eureka know where your Internet Service Provider (ISP)’s servers are the connection settings dialog box will appear. You must fill in this information or Eureka will not be able to find the email waiting for you.

Your email will then be read and sorted according to whether Eureka thinks each email is junk or not. All legitimate emails will be put into your ‘In’ folder and each email will be represented by a spinning icon to show that you have not yet read it. If the email is from someone who is in your address book then the icon that you have assigned to that person will be used and their assigned sound will play.

If you have received any new emails in your ‘In’ box then Eureka’s light bulb icon at the top left of the window (and in the taskbar) will light up. Once you have read all the new emails the light bulb will switch off again.


How To Send Email
How To Send An Email

Click on either the New Email button or select Email | New from the menu. You will automatically be taken to the ‘Out’ folder and a blank email will have been created. The icon for this email is the default icon because Eureka does not know yet who you are going to send this email to and it is spinning because you are still editing it.

You can tell Eureka who you want to send this email to by clicking on one of the three buttons to either:

1. Type in an email address of the person you want to send the email to.

2. Add an email address from your address book.

3. Add a list of email addresses from one of your groups.

You can then type in the subject of your email and the text that you want to send.

To attach a file to this email you can either click on the Attach File button to browse for it, or just drag the file onto the Attachments section and drop it there.

You can select the "hide recipients" checkbox option to do a "Blind Carbon Copy" or "Bcc". If this is selected then when you send the email to several different people they (the "recipients") will not be able to see who else you sent the email to. This is useful if you do not want all of the people you send the email to to know about each other, but it will also prevent any of them from doing a "reply to all" as they can't see each other's email addresses.

Once you have finished editing your email click on the Queue Email For Sending button or click on Email | Queue email for sending. A little yellow arrow will show that this email is queued for sending and it will stop spinning to show you that you can’t edit it any more. If you change your mind you can click on the Unqueue Email button to make changes to the email.

Next click on File | Send And Receive Emails or wait for Eureka to automatically send the email if you set a time in the connection settings. The little yellow arrow will bounce up and down to show that this email is being sent.


How To Junk
How Eureka Detects Junk Emails And Viruses

Eureka has built up a Brain based on thousands of emails which it was told were either legitimate or junk emails. It examines every word in these emails and records which words appeared frequently in good and bad emails and it also looks at the structure and quirks that can identify a junk email.

Each time you receive an email Eureka will assign it a score and if it is above the value you set in your account settings it will be moved to the junk folder and the brain will continually learn. If a junk email slips through and you move it to the junk folder Eureka will correct itself and be more prepared when a similar junk email arrives next time so the brain will get better adapted to the sorts of email that you legitimately receive.

Eureka will never classify an email as junk if it has been sent from someone who is in your address book (as it assumes that they will only send you legitimate messages) so you will never lose an email from the people you most commonly receive emails from.

You can click on the Junk folder tab to see which emails have automatically been moved there.


How To Assign
How To Assign An Icon And Sound To My Friend’s Emails

The simplest way to do this is to wait until you receive an email from someone and then click on their name in the Details pane. A small green plus sign will be shown next to their name to show that you can add this person to your address book. You can then click on the Icon button in the Address Book dialog box to choose an icon and click on the Sound button to choose a sound.


How To Import
How To Import My Address Book

Simply click on File | Import and follow the instructions.


How To Child Account
How To Set Up An Account For My Child To Protect Them From Offensive Email

When you create a new account either when you first run Eureka or you add a new account later, you have a check box option to say that this account is for a child. If you select this option then any emails sent to this account which are deemed to be junk will be deleted rather than put in the ‘Junk’ folder so that the child can never read them. The score needed to be reached for an email to be classified as “junk” is set at a fixed low value to protect the child. This means that there is a higher chance of a legitimate email being lost but remember that any email that is sent from someone in the child’s address book will never be assumed to be junk.


How To Search
How To Search For An Email

You can search for an email by either clicking on Email | Search or by right clicking on any of the names of the people who received the email to do a quick search.

On a quick search you can search for any of the following:

1. Emails sent by this person

2. Emails sent from this person’s domain (for example, this can be useful to see all of the emails sent to and from that person’s company)

3. Emails which have the same icon as this one

4. Emails which have the same subject (i.e. are in the same conversation)


How To Backup
How To Backup Your Emails

Backing up your emails is easy in Eureka Email as all of your data is stored within the "Accounts" folder. Within this folder are subfolders for each of the accounts that you have created and an index file called "accounts.dat" which must be backed up also.

Simply make a copy of the whole of the "Accounts" folder onto a backup recordable CD-ROM and you can use this copy to restore all of your emails in the event of your hard disk crashing or other disaster. You can use the freely available utility WinZip to "zip" up the whole folder into one compressed archive which can be stored more easily and then "unzipped" if you need to restore your emails.

Send And Receive Emails

Select File | Send And Receive Email to send all the emails that are queued for the current account and to download all emails that have been sent to you. Received emails will be sorted into their respective accounts. Emails that Eureka thinks are junk will automatically be moved to the ‘Junk’ folder, unless the account that they are destined for is a “child” account in which case the junk emails will just be deleted to prevent the child from ever seeing them.

Icons at the bottom left corner of the window will show you that Eureka is still connected to your POP (incoming emails) or SMTP (outgoing emails) server.

You can set Eureka to automatically download and send your queued email by clicking on Options | Connection Settings.

You can get Eureka Email to only download or only receive emails by pressing Ctrl + Shift + M. The following dialog box will appear:


Folders

When you first run Eureka you will have five folders: ‘In’, ‘Out’, ‘Junk’, ‘Search’ and ‘Done’. Emails that are sent to you will appear in your ‘In’ folder, or in your ‘Junk’ folder if Eureka thinks that it’s a junk email. When you compose an email to send out it will appear in your ‘Out’ folder. The results of any search you do will be shown in the ‘Search’ folder. The ‘Done’ folder is where you can move emails from your ‘In’ folder in order to keep it tidy.

You can also create your own folders to sort your emails that have been sent, for example, from your friends, family and work. Click on File | Folders to open the Folders dialog box. You can then create your own folder by clicking on the New… button and enter a name for your new folder.

If you have people in your address book you can also assign for these emails to be ‘dismissed’ to this folder. This can be useful if you have been sent a lot of emails from a variety of people. When you have finished reading the email you can click on the green dismiss tick button and Eureka Email will know which folder it needs to be moved to. By default people in your address book will be assigned to be dismissed to the folder ‘Done’ but you can use the arrow buttons to assign the person to have their emails dismissed to the currently selected folder.


Address Book

To access your address book click on File | Address Book... Use the address book to store the email addresses and other contact information of people that you regularly send emails to. You can also assign an icon to each person’s emails, a sound to be played when an email arrives from that person and the folder that this person’s emails should be moved to when you click on the green ‘dismiss’ tick button.

From the address book dialog box you can also click on the Email… button to compose an email for the currently selected person.

From the menu in the Address Book dialog box you can choose to sort the entries in order of name, icon, when you created the entry or how many emails you have sent to or received from each person.

You can also choose to show the names with the surname drawn first. Eureka Email will make a good guess at what the surname is by looking to see if the last word has a capital letter. If it doesn’t then it will assume the entry isn’t a person’s name and will leave it as is. For example, "Sean O’Connor" will get swapped to "O’Connor, Sean" but "Cambridge computers" will be left as it is. If you add something in brackets after a name like "(work)" it will be left at the end even if the names are swapped over.

Click on File | Import to import address books from other popular email programs.


Groups

To access your groups click on File | Groups… Groups are a set of people from your address book who you email regularly, say a group of friends or all the people involved in a work project.

You can make a new group by clicking on the New… button and you can then rename it to what you want. Add and remove people from the group by clicking on the >> and << buttons.

You can email the whole group by clicking on the Email… button.


Import

You can import your Outlook or Eudora address books into Eureka by clicking on File | Import… from the Address Book dialog box. Full instructions for what to do next are on the dialog box that appears:


Print Setup

Use to select your printer and the paper size that it uses.


Print

Click on File | Print to print out the currently selected email.


Accounts

You can use accounts if you have different email addresses on different POP3 servers and you want to download all of your emails into Eureka Email, or if several people share a computer, for example a whole family on a home computer.

Setting up

The first thing you need to set up is to let Eureka Email know the address of the server where your incoming email is stored for you (the POP3 server) and the address of the server where you send outgoing email too (the SMTP server). The combination of these two servers is known to Eureka Email as a "server pair" and you can set up one for each POP3 account that you have on the Internet, although most people will probably only ever have a single one. You can add a new server pair by selecting Options | Accounts and then clicking on Manage servers…

Once you have set up one or more server pairs you can create accounts. Each account has a name to identify it by, a personal name, an email address and a server pair for where it should send and receive emails from. The personal name can be different from the account name if you wish and this is the name that is sent out with the email and will show up on the recipient’s screen.

You can have more than one account for every server pair that you have entered. This can be very useful if, for example, a whole family uses a single POP3 server account but they each have their own email address on this POP3 server. They may have email addresses of husband@mydomain.com and wife@mydomain.com so they would each set up an account, specifying the same server pair but with their own email address. When an email is downloaded from their shared POP3 server, Eureka Email will take a look at who it was sent to and place it in the correct account. Another use for this is if you have email automatically forwarded from a POP3 server to the one where you collect your email from. If you set up two accounts with the same server pair but with the two different email addresses your emails will be sorted into the two different accounts for you.

Using

When you tell Eureka Email to receive new emails it will go through the list of server pairs that you have entered and talk to the POP3 server from each of the pairs to see if there any new emails waiting there. If there are, they will be downloaded and sorted into the correct account.

When you tell Eureka Email to send emails, only the emails that are queued in the currently selected account will be sent. Queued emails in other accounts are not sent in case somebody else has left a queued email in their account but didn’t want it to be sent until later.

Selecting

To switch between accounts click on Options | Accounts and then select the account you wish to switch to. You can also use the keyboard shortcut of pressing the Ctrl key and the number of the account.

You can view all the accounts at a glance and see if there are new emails, add an account or delete an account by clicking on Options | Accounts | Manage Accounts. When you add a new account you will be asked for the name of the new account that you are creating, the email address for this account and the server pair it will use. The name that you give for the account will also be used for the person’s name which is sent with your email address but you can change this later by selecting the account and clicking on Options | Account Settings. For example, you may have created the account called ‘Husband’ but you then want to change the name that is sent with your email address to ‘Joe Bloggs’.

Deleting

When you delete an account the folder that stores the account’s emails in Eureka Email\Accounts\ isn’t actually deleted in case you want to change your mind. If you recreate an account with the name that you just deleted you will therefore restore the old emails.

1. Type in an email address of the person you want to send the email to.

2. Add an email address from your address book.

3. Add a list of email addresses from one of your groups.

To add an attachment to this email use the Add Attachment button or just drag and drop the file onto the Attachments area.

If you change your mind and want to delete this email click on the red ‘Delete this email’ cross button.

Once you have typed in the email’s subject and text, click on the ‘Queue Email For Sending’ button. The icon will stop spinning and a small yellow arrow will appear on the icon to show that it is ready to be sent. The next time that you click on File | Send And Receive Emails this email will be delivered to its intended recipients. Once the email has been sent you will obviously no longer be able to edit it and the yellow arrow is no longer shown to let you know that it has been sent. However, you can click on the ‘Send again’ button if you want to send the email for a second time and you will be able to make changes to this duplicate email before queuing it.


Search

Click on Email | Search to find emails that you have sent or received. You can search on the sender/receiver’s name, the subject or words in the emails’ text.

Click on Email | Queue For Sending if you have finished composing an email and you know want to mark it ready for sending. Once you have done this, the next time Eureka automatically sends and receives emails or you click on File | Send And Receive Emails the email will be sent.


Dismiss

Click on Email | Dismiss if you want to send the currently showing email to the ‘Done’ folder or one of the folders that you have created yourself. If the sender of the email is in your address book and you specified a ‘dismiss to’ folder for that person then the email will be moved there, otherwise it will be moved to the ‘Done’ folder.


Delete

Click on Email | Delete if you want to delete the currently shown email.


Save Email As Text File

Click on Email | Save Email As Text File… to save an email to a text file. The default name of the text file will be the subject of the email.

Click on Email | Add Sender To Address Book if the person who sent you this email is not in your address book and you want to add them to it.


Make People Into A Group

Click on Email | Make People Into A Group to add all the people who were sent this email and the sender to your address book and then make them into a group. This is really useful if you get sent an email which is also CC’d to some of your friends and you want to quickly make them into a group so you can email all those people back at a later date.


View Properties

Click on Email | View Properties to see the properties of the current email. You will be able to see:

The email’s ID number

Who sent the email

The subject

Which folder it’s in

The program that the sender uses (their ‘email client’)

The country it was sent from

The timezone that the sender is in

How many people received this email

The time the email was sent (in your time)

The time you received the email

How long the email took to get to you

The email’s junk score

Note that Eureka guesses the sender’s country from their email address and if it can’t determine it from that (usually because the email address ends in the ambiguous .com) then Eureka will make a guess based on the email’s timezone.

Also, the time that is recorded as when the email was sent does rely on the sender having the correct time on their computer, which may not always be the case!

By clicking on the View Route button you can see which mail servers the email passed through in order to reach you.

You can also click on the View Header button, which shows you the non-text parts of the email and can be useful if you want to trace the route an email took or see other details on it.


General Settings

Click on Options | General Settings to modify the options which apply to all the accounts that you set up.

Choose An Account On Startup

This option is only useful if you have more than one account. If you do and this option is selected then when Eureka Email starts up it will give you a summary of all the accounts. You can then click on one of the accounts to access it. If this option is not selected then when Eureka Email starts up the first account will automatically be selected.

Check For New Emails On Startup

If this check box is ticked then every time you start Eureka Email it will check your POP3 server for new emails. If you use a modem then it may be better to switch this option off as you may want to start Eureka Email while you are not connected to the Internet.

Minimise To A Tray Icon

Use this option if you would like Eureka Email to run as a tray icon. If it is selected then clicking on the minimise or close button will shrink Eureka Email to an icon in the system tray. You can restore the program by double clicking on this icon in the system tray.

Automatically Send And Receive Every

Enter a figure in this box if you want Eureka to automatically download email from your POP3 server every however many minutes you set. Leave the box empty if you do not want Eureka to automatically check your email and you want to do it manually by clicking on File | Send And Receive Email

Send Emails Immediately, Don’t Queue

If this option is checked then an email that you have composed is sent immediately when you click on the Queue/Send email button. If it is left unchecked then when you click on the Queue/Send button the email waits until you select File | Send And Receive Emails from the menu, or email is automatically sent because you have entered a number in the Send And Receive Every option box.

Play Sounds On Downloading Emails

If this option is checked then every time you receive an email from someone who is in your address book the sound that you assigned to that person will be played.

Use A Flag For A Download email’s icon If possible

If this option is checked and you receive an email which ends in a country code and that person isn’t in your address book, the flag of the country that the email was sent from will be used. For example, an email from someone at .co.au will have an Australian flag.

Show time in 24 hour clock format

If this option is checked then time will be shown like 18:33, and if the option is not checked then that time would be shown as 6:33pm

Underline incorrect spelling

If this option is not checked then words that you have typed which are not found in the dictionary or words that you have told Eureka Email are spelt correctly will be underlined with a red squiggly line.

Sound a warning on incorrect spelling

If this option is checked then every time you misspell a word a sound will play. This is useful if you type without looking at the screen.

Font Size used for the text of an email

Select the size of the font to display an email’s text. You can choose Tiny, Small, Medium, Large or Huge.

Word wrap the text of an email at

This option is useful if you stretch the Eureka Email window very large and you don’t want text that you are typing to flow over the whole distance of the screen. A typical entry might be 80. Leave the option box empty if you want text to flow right to the end of the window.


Connection Settings

Click on Options | Connection Settings to modify the details of your POP3 and SMTP servers. These should be provided by your Internet Service Provider (your ISP).

Server Pair Name

This is just a name that you can invent for this POP3 server, SMTP server and the options that you have selected for them. It is used so that you can identify which server pair you want to use when you come to create new accounts.

POP3 server

This is the server on the Internet where emails that have been sent to you are kept until you download them.

SMTP server

This is the server on the Internet that you deliver emails to when you send an email.

Authentication

This is your Username and Password for connecting to your POP3 server.

Use SMTP authentication

Some SMTP servers have extra layers of security. If you can’t connect to your SMTP server try switching this option on and Eureka Email will automatically try using the PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAMMD5 authentication methods for you.

Leave Email On POP3 Server

If this option is enabled then your email will be read from the POP3 server but not actually deleted from it. If you then check your email you will download all your email a second time, but this option can be useful if you want to evaluate Eureka while letting your existing email client download and actually delete the email from your POP3 server.

Server Time Out After Trying For

Set the length of time in seconds that Eureka Email will wait for your POP3 and SMTP servers to respond before giving up on them. The default value is 30 seconds.

Don’t Download Emails Larger Than

Enter a figure in this box if you want to block excessively large emails


User Settings
Account Settings

Click on Options | Account Settings to modify options that relate to the account that is currently selected. You can change the name and email address that is used to let people reply to your emails, options for how your emails will be displayed and the percentage score an email must get before being put into the ‘Junk’ folder. This score cannot be modified if the account was designated as a child account.

Your full name

This is the name that will appear as your name on other people’s machines when you send them an email.

Your email address

This is the email address which people will reply to you at/

Assume an email is Junk if it scores above

Enter a percentage score that Eureka Email’s brain has to give to an email before it will be automatically moved to the Junk folder. If you set this level too low then legitimate emails may get junked, and if you set it too high then junk emails will get through. A good level is between 70 and 80%.

Automatically delete junk older than

If you select an entry other then Never then Eureka Email will automatically clear out junk emails when they are older than the time you have set. This helps keep you Junk folder tidy.

Delete executable attachments from Junk emails

If this option is checked then any email which the brain deems is junk will have its attachments deleted if they are executable. This is a good idea as many junk emails have viruses and trojans attached which if you run them will infect your machine so it is safer to let Eureka Email delete them immediately.

Edit Signature

Enter a short piece of text in this box if you want a "signature" appended to the end of every email that you send out.


Examine Brain

Click on Options | Examine Brain to take a look at how Eureka is determining what is a junk email and what isn’t. You can look at:

Junk Words

This tells you the top one hundred words that Eureka thinks are likely to appear in junk emails but not in legitimate emails.

Dictionary

This is your user dictionary of words that you have said are spelt correctly but were not in the main dictionary.

Country Codes

A list of all the email country codes.

Time zones

Shows you the current time in any timezone of the world.
