11.9 Connect to Send and Receive E-mail.
Connect to Send and Receive E-mail checks for new e-mail, and sends any e-mails in the
"Outbox.” You are prompted through the steps required, and feedback is provided as to the status
of the connection and mail download. If you have any unsent mail, this is also sent at this time.
1. From the KeyMail menu select "Connect to send and receive e-mail.”
2. KeySoft prompts "Connect using which configuration? Press ENTER for (name).” where
(name) is the name of a connection configuration you have set up in the Connectivity menu. To
use the offered configuration, just press ENTER. If the correct configuration was not prompted,
press SPACE repeatedly to find the required configuration. When you have found it,
press ENTER.
3. KeySoft prompts: "Use which e-mail account? Press ENTER for (account)" To select the
offered e-mail account, press ENTER, otherwise press SPACE repeatedly to find the required
account. When you have found it, press ENTER.
Note: If you typically use the same e-mail account and the same connection configuration every
time, you can simply cut these two prompts short by pressing ENTER, because the offered
option is always the last option used.
4. If using a dial-up modem to access your e-mail, read this. If not, skip to the next step. KeySoft
displays the message “dialing,” and you should hear the dialing process followed by whistling
noises as your modem connects with the modem at your Service Provider. Before the sequence
of messages listed in the next step, you will first hear these:
Dialing;
Connected;
Logging On;
Logon Successful;
Connected;
...and at the end of the sequence below, you will get this message:
Remain connected to the modem? (Press Y or N)
5. KeySoft reports the progress of the mail checking sequence by displaying the appropriate
message as each significant stage of the operation is completed. The typical sequence of
messages, assuming you have one new message to receive and no outgoing e-mail to send, is:
There is 1 e-mail on Server;
Checking for new messages;
There is 1 new e-mail;
Receiving 1;
There is no e-mail to send.
