- Mailert V1.0
- ============
-
-
- Introduction
- ------------
-
- Mailert is a small mail alert program for multiple KA9Q/Unix style mailboxes
- (these mailboxes exist as a single file in an accessible mail directory).
-
- Mailert will keep track of the new mail items in multiple mailboxes in a
- single small window. Each mailbox can have a configurable tag (independent
- of its filename).
-
- The raison d'etre for Mailert is simply that I wanted a small window to tell
- me which of my mailboxes has new mail. None of the (many) other mail
- notification programs available seemed to be able to do this in the way that
- I wanted.
-
- Mailert is ideally suited to packages like KA9Q or WinDis which can deliver
- to multiple local mail files.
-
- If Mailert is almost-but-not-quite the mail notification program that you
- want, then let me know and I will try to accommodate people's wish-lists.
-
- Mailert is shareware, but registration is FREE. (See the section on
- registration later).
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Unpack the files into a suitable directory, copying CTL3D.DLL into your
- WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory if it is not already there.
-
- Create a new program item in the Windows Program Manager for MAILERT.EXE, and
- optionally copy this to the StartUp group.
-
-
- Configuration
- -------------
-
- The first time you run Mailert, you will have to configure the users.
- Mailert will not run without at least one user configured. In the "Configure
- Mailert" dialogue, use the "Add" button to add users, configuring a Name and
- Mail File for each user. The Poll Interval is in seconds and defaults to 30.
-
- Once all users are configured, click OK and the Mailert window will appear.
- You can return to the "Configure Mailert" dialogue at any time from the
- "Configure..." item on the Mailert window System menu.
-
-
- User Menus
- ----------
-
- Pressing the right mouse button when the pointer is over one of the users
- will pop up the User Menu for that user.
-
- The "Configure..." option will allow you to reconfigure the mail file for
- that user.
-
- The "Reset" option resets the new mail count to zero.
-
- The "Show Headers" option brings up a window containing the "From:" and
- "Subject:" headers for all new mail messages. If there are no new mail
- messages, this option will be greyed out.
-
-
- Registration
- ------------
-
- This program is shareware, but registration is FREE.
-
- Registration is by email to mailert@bibbly.demon.co.uk - please supply a name
- under which you would like to be registered.

- Bugs, comments, suggestions
- ---------------------------

- it.
