Installing POPQuiz 1.0

If you have not yet installed POPQuiz, let me briefly describe the process.

When you first run the setup program (Setup.exe), it will decompress all the necessary files and place them in the proper directories. It will take care of a little behind-the-scenes housekeeping, telling Windows which files are where, and then it will hand the reigns back over to you. At this point, you are all ready to run POPQuiz.

When you first run POPQuiz, it will automatically detect that it has not yet been run, and set up a few default values in the Windows registry. All you have to do is configure POPQuiz to do what you want it to do and how you want it to do it. This is further described in the Configuration section of the online help accessed by clicking the Help button from any screen in the program. Once you give POPQuiz a little information about you email account(s), it's all ready to go.

About POPQuiz

POPQuiz is an email notification program. It runs quietly in the background until it detects a message. It then announces that you have a message or messages in whatever way you have told it. If you have selected to show the message list, for example, it will show you a list of your messages including: who it's from, the subject, and the account on which it was found.

POPQuiz doesn't take up as much system resources as a full email client (email program), so it will not slow down your system as much, but it does allow you to launch any email client properly installed on you system.

I have tried to make it as configurable as possible because I, for one, hate presumptuous software. If I get enough requests for any particular feature in a future version, I will be certain to add it. Some possibilities include: Microsoft Office integration, different alerts for priority levels, an email reader, etc. So let me know what you would like to see in a future release.
