ForwardMail User's Manual

Getting started
| To try this program, you need to configure the mailbox, server information and the destination email address. In this page, the minimal settings will be explained below.
| <STEP1> Launch ForwardMail Program Launch ForwardMail by choosing the short cut icon from the 'Start' menu. In case that you have installed from the zip archive file, you can launch it by double-clicking the 'fwdmail4_e.exe' icon. While using the trial version, the start-up window will appear. By pressing the 'Get Latest Version' button, the author's web page will be displayed where you can download the latest version.
| <STEP2> Choose a forwarding account As the first step, you need to configure a forwarding account. The 'account' is a setting unit that defines a forwarding operation, for example, forwarding company PC emails to a personal mobile phone. Then, press the 'Setting' button and choose 'Account(0)' from the pull-down menu.
| <STEP3> Configure a forwarding account The setting dialog will be displayed which has some setting tabs. For the first trial, the minimal settings can be done in the 'Account' tab. 1)Account preferences for: You can name the forwarding account. This name will be used to display and recognize the forwarding account in this program. You can leave it blank if you don't need. 2) Main Switch: This checkbox will be used to enable or disable the forwarding account. If unchecking the checkbox, this account will be ignored and not used. 3)Timer You can specify the interval time in minute. ForwardMail will check the incoming mails every specified time. 4)Forward To Enter the destination email address where you want to forward to. You can specify multiple addresses by inserting a space letter. The number of addresses is limited up to 100 and the number of characters up to 4095. Just the address part can be entered into this box. You cannot enter the additional address information such as "Your name"<yourname@yourcompany.com>. 5)Mailbox Information You need to specify the mailbox information. The configuration should be the same as the mail client such as Outlook Express you usually use. * The basic mailbox settings example
Address | yourname@xxxxxx.ne.jp | Your email address
User ID | yourID | User ID for the mailbox
Password | ******** | Password for the mailbox
POP Server | pop.yourISP.com | POP server name of your internet service provider(ISP)
SMTP server | smtp.yourISP.com | SMTP server name of your internet service provider(ISP)
If completing the configuration up to here, you can start forwarding emails. Using the minimal settings, the emails will be forwarded without changes to the destination address. If you want to use the filtering functions, mobile phone options and other forwarding options, you need to add the configuration later.
| <STEP4> Connect to Server and start forwarding Press the 'Start' button on the toolbar. The server connection will be started. If any error occurs due to the incorrect settings, the error message log will be shown on the main window. In this case, confirm the account settings in the 'Server' tab again. The mailbox settings should be the same as the email client software such as Outlook Express. If the email server requires SSL option or SMTP authentication, you need to specify them. For the detail information, refer to the help manual of 'Server' settings. Forwarding log window By clicking the right mouse button on the forwarding log message, the detail information will be displayed. Forwarding account selector Each account can be enabled or disabled using the dedicated account selector dialog displayed by pressing the 'Select' button on the toolbar. By clicking the right mouse button on each account name, the setting window will be opened. [NOTE] To use your email client software like 'Outlook Express' together If you would use your email client software with ForwardMail at the same time, you need to change the settings so that your email client software leaves email messages on the mailbox for a certain period of time. This is because if your email client software would retrieve and remove email messages before ForwardMail checks them, ForwardMail cannot receive and forward the incoming emails.
Understanding 'Forwarding Account'
| The 'Account' is a forwarding unit to manage a forwarding operation. Be sure that a forwarding account does not correspond to a mailbox. In case that you want to forward emails to both mobile phone and PC, each forwarding configuration such as filter selection, stripping attachment files or email message modification is different. You need to use two separate accounts for each forwarding operation. For example, if you want to forward emails in the mailbox at your company to 3 separate email addresses( your mobile phone, your personal address and free web based email address), you need to use 3 forwarding accounts separately.
