- DOWNLOADING MAIL FROM SILVER XPRESS TO YOUR PC
- Downloading means SCAN for new mail, pack it up, and send it to your
- PC. When you select this option, Silver Xpress will begin to scan
- your selected mail conferences for new mail. This is called the
- scanning process. When it is done, it will present you with the Flex
- Select option. With Flex Select, you can tell Silver Xpress "How much
- mail from the scan do you really want to receive". It's quite
- Flexible! After you tell Silver Xpress how much mail you want (or
- you can simply tell it ALL or GO to get everything), Silver Xpress
- will begin to "bundle" the mail into a file with the extension OPX,
- for example, PITTX.OPX. This file is called the XPRESS MAIL PACKET.
- When it has completed bundling the mail, it will begin to send the
- OPX file to you using the file transfer method you selected.

- DOWNLOADING THE SILVER XPRESS MAIL PACKET (OPX) FILE
-
- Right before Silver Xpress is to begin sending the OPX file to you, it
- will display something like this:
-
-
- FILE: PITTX.OPX 22341 (3:34)
- Press [ENTER] download now, [G] Download/Goodbye [ESC] Abort
-
- The number in the parathesis is the time it will approximately take to
- transfer the file. The 22341 is the size of the file. At this point,
- you can hit the ENTER key to begin the transfer. When the transfer is
- done, the Silver Xpress main menu will be displayed again. If you simply
- want to download the file and hangup, you can hit the G key. Please note
- the GOODBYE option is optional by the sysop, he may not choice to allow
- people to leave his BBS via Silver Xpress. If that is the case, you will
- not see this option. If you want to abort the transfer you can simple
- hit ESC.
