Post Office:

Version 2.0
  - Beta 1


Many New Features:
   Header Retrieval (see what mail is on the host)
   Quick View and Delete
   Filtering Rules
   and others...

This version involved a major rewrite
of almost 100% of the code from the
original version, so to be honest, I'm
willing to bet that there are *many*
bugs in it, and myself consider it
more of an alpha version than a beta.

If you find it to be too error-prone
for your tastes, then please switch
back to 1.24b2 until I get more bug
fix versions out and ready to go.

This version finally hist the shareware
mark.  i.e.  if you register, you'll get
the password to the registered version
which includes a few more features,
such as INI round-robin, and more
than three filtering rules.

This version also allows you to
quickly view and delete new mail
on the server.

BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE
DELETE FUNCTION!!!  P.O. does
not as of yet enable a deletion prompt.
Also:  When you select multiple items
of mail, all items that are selected when
P.O. logs in to delete are deleted.  This
means that if you tell P.O. to delete, and
it is in the middle of doing something, the
request is saved, and executed when
finished, and deletes everything you have
selected at the time it logs in!!!!  This will
be changed in the next version.  You have
been warned.

A new version ... once some bugs
have been worked out ... with more
configuration options for the Mail
Headers list will be released within
a month.




Standard Disclaimer:

As is customary,  I in no way accept legal
responsibility if this software fails to perform
in the manner specified, causes data loss,
or anything else damaging to your system.





P.O. (Post Office),  Version 2.0 beta 1

P.O. (Post Office), was dreamed up when I tired of my
mailreader's ability to suck up 7-10% of my system
resources, while the only function it was serving was
keeping SLIP alive by continuously checking my mail in
the background.

P.O. should only take 2-5% system resources, and still
keep checking your mail every XX number of seconds,
while keeping SLIP alive,

Most options P.O. offers, are completely configurable...
just click the right mouse button on the main window,
and choose configure, or choose configure from the
minimized icon's window.

If you have trouble configuring P.O., bring up the about
box, and read the "Configuration" section.

In order to make P.O. as versitile for its purpose as
possible, I've made several additions to simulate
features of many of the common mail readers, including:

* Playing A .WAV file on new mail receipt
* Icon Title Reports Message Count
* Mailbox Icon can raise flag on new mail
* Main Window can Stay On Top
* The Title Bar can be Hidden
* and a whole lot more

If anyone has any further suggestions (or bug reports),
send me some e-mail.

Post Office is shareware.  If you like it, and continue
to use it, then I ask that you acknowledge it.

I'm only begging for $5, so at least consider it, and
the author's usually empty wallet.

Don't forget to send me your e-mail address!!!

When I get your registration, I'll e-mail you a thank you,
and when a new version is available, I'll let you know
via e-mail if you wish.  I will also send you a password to
unzip the registered version of Post Office.

If you are a shareware author, and wish to trade
registrations, then I'm usually more than willing to do so,
especially any authors of delphi components, componet
libraries, or winsock programs or utilities.
