I try hard to design the interface and wish everyone can easily use it without a manual (also, because I am lazy to write one). So, I just describe briefly here. If you still get a problem on using it, sorry about that. Just give me a mail. Installation: Unzip it into a dir on your hard disk and make a short cut on desktop for it. Then, run it, that's all. Surely, you must set up some options for the first time. They are nothing but common network settings such as IP address, login name, and password. You must fill all the data need besides password. If you didn't enter a password in the option page, E-Check will ask you for it when E-Check access the server for the first time, then the password will be remembered till you turn off E-Check. Uninstallation: I really hate some huge programs put a lot of trash everywhere in my hard disk. So I make E-Check a "Garbage-free-ware". All the files are put into the same dir and there is no need to install any other DLL or something. If you want to uninstall it, just kill the entire dir of E-Check. There are hot keys for you to execute some functions. You can see them in the main menu. Popup menus are available for mail lists and tray icon. Just right click on them, then the popup menu will appear. The buttons on the main window are dockable, you can put them anywhere you like. You can choose your own animation and sound files which you want to display when there are new mails in your mail box. The program looks fine on 1024x768 HiColor screen. At least 800x600 256 color is recommended. You can change the animation that will be displayed when new mails coming. The animation must be a 200x150 avi file. There is an avi file included in the E-Check pack. If there are new mails coming in, the animation will be displayed on the screen. By checking 'Stay on top' option, you can make it always be the topest window. Double click on it will bring up the minimized main window and close this animation. Sound can be disabled by checking the 'No Sound' option. You can assign a E-Mail program like Eudora and turn on the auto load function. After this, the program will be loaded by E-Check automatically to help you reply the new mails. Also, you can load it by click the load button. You can set three keywords and their colors in option page. If one of the keywords are found in 'From' or 'Subject' of your mail, the color will be changed to notify you. You can delete a mail by selecting delete from main menu, popup menu or button bar. Then the mail will be marked by a 'x'. It will not be deleted until the next check. Before this, you can use 'undo delete' to unmark all mails. If you check up the 'Auto Delete' option, all mails on the server will be deleted automatically. If you want to view a mail, just double click on it. Turn on 'Auto View' will automatically download new mails for you. You can open many viewer at the same time. Check the 'No Header' option will erase the header of mail. If you press the print button in the viewer, the content will be printed. Mails that were encoded by Quoted-Printable and BASE64 format will be decode automatically. Other MIME format maybe cause some problems. Mails that are greater than 64k bytes will not be displayed. All settings are in the option page 'Dial up'. Be sure to check the 'Enable dial up'. 'Check only when connected' decide if E-Check should dial up for you when you are off-line. You can also setup redial times and redial interval. If you want to dial up manually, you can click the 'Dial' button on the dock bar. -------------- Registration -------------- E-Check is a shareware. You can freely try it within 30 days.
