Tiny's PopMaint - V 1.1 - Dec 10 1998
Written by: Shawn 'Tiny' Highfield
(C)Copyright 1998, Shawn Highfield
What is it?
===========
I'm going to apoligise right away here, I'm a programer, not a
writer. If the docs don't make sense email me and I'll try and
clarify things for you.
A very simple yet powerful program, that allows you to do maintance
on your POP3 mailbox from any Windows or OS/2 based machine.
If someone has sent you a massive email attachment and your normal
email client won't stay connected long enough to grab it use this
handy program to delete the offending message so you can retrieve the
rest of your mail.
It's a console (text mode) application so uses very little CPU
resorces. I tried to make it as easy to use as possibile.
Requirements:
-------------
386 or better Processor.
OS/2 Warp 3.x or better.
or
Windows95, Windows98, Windows/NT. (Win 3.x is not supported)
TCP/IP support.
Already connected to the Internet.
Disclaimer
----------
This program will probably only take up room on your hard drive.
It works on my system, but then it would wouldn't it? By using this
program you agree not to hold Shawn Highfield responsible for any
lost or damaged email.
How to Use:
-----------
1) Copy the self extracting file to a directory of your choosing.
(Which you've already done :) )
2) Create an icon on your desktop or start menu for tnymntx.exe
(where x is either W for win32 version, or 2 for OS/2 version)
The first time Tiny's Popmaintance is run you should select the
(S)etup menu option and input the information we need to connect to
your POP3 server.
This is normaly your POP3 server, logon name, and password. But your
ISP may have purchased a special version from me with their POP3
information hard coded in.
Main menu:
----------
(S)etup - This option will allow you to re-run the setup
portion of Tiny's POPMaintance in case you make a
typo.
(V)iew msgs - This option is the one you will mostly use. It will
connect to your POP3 server and retrieve a list of the
messages waiting. From there you can chose to delete
a certain message.
(D)elete ALL - *BE CAREFUL!* This option will delete ALL mail
waiting for you. It doesn't ask it just kills it all.
Not a good idea. Unless you know you want to do this.
Note!: This option may be disabled by your ISP.
(Q)uit - Quit back to your OS.
History:
--------
12/10/1998 - Version 1.1
- Added routine to make sure temp files are stored in the
directory Popmnt was launched from.
- Will now list your messages in order. 01,02, etc instead of
1, 10, etc.
10/07/1998 - Version 1.0
- First version.
Extras:
-------
This program is written in Pascal. Using Virtual Pascal v2.0/Beta4
from fprint. http://www.fprint.co.uk/vpascal/
VP can compile for both OS/2 and Win32.
The socket unit is written by "Enigma" and is the best on the planet!
