How to use GetMail

The program will run in two modes.

1.	Timed Collection

2.	Collect Now

Timed Collection

This mode enables you to enter a series of times and days of the week.

GetMail will invoke WinCIM and pick up your mail at these times.

Set-up

There are 48 possible times that you can set, and you can decide which days of the week you want those times set for.

Enter times in the format hh mm using the 24 hour clock e.g.,

07 50   put the 07 in the left hand box and the 50 in the right.

17 30

Collect Now

This mode simply invokes WinCIM and picks up your mail then shuts itself down. Its function in this mode is just to replace keystrokes, or it can be invoked by another program launcher like BarClock. One double-click and it's away. The mode is set permanently from the Set-up program, or temporarily by running with the option 'AUTOLOAD' after the program name in the Windows properties box.

e.g. "C:\CSERVE\WINCIM\GETMAIL.EXE AUTOLOAD".

If you want GetMail to use a Specific user id then use that on the command line

e.g."C:\CSERVE\WINCIM\GETMAIL.EXE Primary Connection"

will always use that set up to pick up mail.

Settings

Times are set by selecting 'File' from the menu then 'Timers'

Other settings are set by selecting 'File' then 'Settings'

If you have a standard directory structure for your compuserve software then there is no need to change the directory fields.

The Serial Number field is where you enter the Serial number that we will send you when you register.

There are 2 radio buttons that specify which version of WinCIM you are using.

Session Settings

If you have more than one session setting in WinCIM you can tell GetMail to always use a specific one.

GetMail will reset your session settings to those specified before it starts up WinCIM. NOTE if WinCIM is already running then GetMail cannot change the default session setting. WinCIM must be closed if the settings are to be changed.  Also it does not reset the settings back to what they were when it has finished.

General

For the Windows 3.1 version only you must have GETMAIL.EXE on the same drive as WINCIM.EXE.

If you are running the Windows 3.1 version under NT or Windows95 Download the 32bit version because it will run better and your current serial number will still be valid.
