- Description:
- NewMail is a small program (only 42K!) for Win95/NT4.0 that stays in the
- system tray and notifies you when new e-mail arrives. NewMail can notify
- you with sounds, message on screen or automatically run your e-mail reader.
-
- Installation:
- Unzip the archive and then run setup.exe. This will start the InstallShield
- installer program.
-
- Features:
- - It's small, only 42K!
- - Uses the POP3 protocol.
- - Displays a small mailbox icon in the system tray. The icon will show a
- non-empty mailbox when a new message has arrived.
- - No annoying window on your screen (except when you edit the settings).
- - It can establish PPP connection silently in the background, check for mail
- and disconnect if no new mails had arrived.
- - Detects the number of new messages, not just whether your mailbox has been
- updated or not.
- - Checks for mail at a minute-by-minute interval.
- - It can display a message box, play a sound or even run your e-mail program
- (or any combination of these) when a new message arrives.
-
- Distribution:
- NewMail version 1.1 is released as freeware and it can be freely distributed
- as long as all the files are unmodified and kept together in the same
- archive, and as long as no money is charged for it (sold separately). If you
- would like to include NewMail on compliation disks/CD-ROMs or cover disks for
- a magazine the author would appreciate if he was notified of such an event.
