EZ-Mail V2.01 Mail reader/composer for Windows What is EZ-Mail? ---------------- EZ-Mail is a mail reader/composer that let you manage Internet mail under Windows. The main purpose of EZ-Mail is to let the user read, reply, forward and create messages. There are also other functions to simplify the reader's task. EZ-Mail is not a mail transport package or a UUCP system, it acts as a front end to such package. To send a mail message, EZ-Mail calls a third party mailer program that does the transport part of the mailing process. Current directly supported systems are: - UUPC/extended by Drew Derbyshire. - FSUUCP by Fubar Systems. - PC-NFS from Sun Micro Systems Inc. - PC/TCP by FTP Software Inc. - Pathway by The Wollongong Group Inc. EZ-Mail is fully configurable and may well support other systems. Since EZ-Mail is fully configurable, you may use your PC as a multi-user mail system by creating as many users as you wish. See the User setup section for more information on multi-users. EZ-Mail's ancestor is WinMail. WinMail is no longer supported and all users of WinMail 1.0 to 1.1a should now use EZ-Mail. See the special offer below for registered users of WinMail. Testimonials ------------ "EZ-Mail is a classy product, I now live by it. It is fast, easy, efficient, reliable, and as far as I am concerned, much better than commercially available products. In short, EZ-Mail is excellent and is the most profound Windows application to hit my desktop." -David J. Kovanen - Technical Editor, Procomm Magazine Changes for 2.01 (14/04/92) --------------------------- Bug Fixes: o Error in FSUUCP mailer's arguments. $S (sender's FNDQ) changed to $U (user ID).

Installation: ------------- 1) Ezmail.exe, ezmail.hlp, and all .pif and .bat should be copied to a directory in your path. 2) DLLs should be installed in your system directory (typically c:\windows\system).
