System Requirements


Which versions of Windows is Keymail Notifier compatible with?
Keymail Notifier runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP and Windows NT 4.0 and above.


Which email systems is Keymail Notifier compatible with?
Any email system that supports MAPI - like Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Outlook Express.


Usage


The keyboard LEDs don't flash when I have unread mail - what could be wrong?
Keymail Notifier will only check your default MAPI folder - usually Inbox. If you have rules that move your mail to another folder this could explain why the LEDs are not flashing. We are also aware of a problem with USB keyboards. At present, Keymail Notifier does not work with USB keyboards - we are working to solve this.


Why can't I select the 'Run only when a screen-saver is running' option?
This feature is not available under Windows 95. All other versions of Windows support this feature.


Why can't I set the 'Blink for...' duration?
This feature is only available under Windows NT, 2000 and XP.


What is this 'Keymail.cfg' file?
This is the configuration file where Keymail Notifier stores your personal settings.


How can I get Keymail Notifier to check my POP3 account?
You can't. Currently Keymail Notifier is designed to only check MAPI systems for unread mail. POP3 support (to allow you to check mail on an ISP for example) may be added in due course.


Development Information


What language is Keymail Notifier written in?
It was written using Microsoft Visual C++ and MFC.


Can I have a copy of the source code?
No.
