Welcome to Atismail for windows (v1.0) 

Atismail is a shareware Mail User Agent for sending and receiving E-mail.

How to Install Atismail :

[1] : You want to install/use it on a Novell Netware (3.11) network.
      First you or your network manager has to put it on the network.
      This is Instal step 1, simply run install.exe on disk 1.
      After step 1 you'll have to install it so users can use it.
      (step 2 simply copies some files and registers some install info)
      Step 2 is done by running install in the subdirectory <USER> of the
      directory Atismail is installed in in the first step.
      For Novell Netware users the directory used in step 2 preferably is
      the users mail directory on the network. 
      (<networkdisk>:\mail\[object_id],  exmpl ; h:\mail\6000002)
      In the Atismail.cfg file use Defaultmailbox=Novell to access your 
      mail.

[2] : You don't have a Novell network or you don't want to use it.
      Install Atismail on a network and perform step1 as in [1]
      For step 2, use a directory of you're choice (preferably empty).
      In the Atismail.cfg file select Defaultmailbox=Remote.
      To setup the mailbox click the right mousebutton in the mainwindow
      of the atismail application.

[3] : You don't want to install it on a network at all.
      (on a standalone using slip/ppp ?)  
      Just install it on the computer like in [2].
      Make sure you have a winsock that can maintain a 
      tcp/ip connection for you.


[4] : !!! DO NOT FORGET !!!
      - You need to edit the my-alias field in atismail.cfg
      - You need a directory for temporary files 
        (DO NOT USE ANOTHER APPLICATIONS TEMP DIRECTORY)
        you need to mention the temp dir

      - You are going to read the help file or not ?
