h3. Overview MailMan is an email client for AUN (Econet). h3. "Bonus binaries" This is one of a group of applications and modules distributed as *Bonus Binaries* - software considered unsuitable for inclusion in the standard HardDisc4 image. They are primarily of interest to developers, and are made available on the "half a loaf" principle: the pressing need for software that performs these tasks outweighs the inconvenience of the unfinished and/or anachronistic behaviour of the software itself. h3. Installation Instructions MailMan requires a working Econet/AUN installation. h3. Usage notes * Before starting MailMan, log on to your Econet network. * The MailMan icon shows current status:<br />Standard pillar box - no mail<br />Bulging pillar box - mail waiting to be read<br />Pillar box with question mark - unable to communicate with mail server. * Use <i>Menu > Setup</i> to specify the mail server, username etc.<br />The <i>Mail source</i> file must already exist on the server, with public write access. * To send mail, drag a text file to the MailMan icon on the icon bar then fill in the dialogue box. * To receive mail, either click on the icon or use <i>Menu > Fetch mail</i>. Mail is delivered to the "current mail file" (specified in <i>Set up choices</i>). If Edit is running, incoming mail will also be displayed in an Edit window. Further documentation on how to use MailMan can be found in the Level 4 Fileserver Network Manager's Guide (issue 2, 1993) and in the Acorn A3000 User Guide. h3.
