README File for YAP 0.5
------------------------------


               YAP, stands for Yet Another POP3 client. 

When started YAP sits in Windows NT 4.0 system tray showing
a mailbox icon. Either at regular intervals or on double click of
mouse button YAP checks your POP3 server for any new mails. It also
downloads the 'SUBJECT' line of your mail (along with 'FROM', 'TIME'
and 'PRIORITY': optional) and displays it in a list box for you to
browse. When you have a new mail, YAP let you know either thru 
animation of icon or thru sound (you can select your own wave file or
keep it a simple beep) - each of this selections can be turned on or
off thru YAPs preferences screen.

Do NOT forget to enter the POP3 server name along with user login
and password - without it YAP will disable itself or might crib
with authorization error. Please contact your system administrator
for the address of your POP3 server. 

Saving password in the initialization file is optional. I donot
recommend it unless you are the only user on your machine - or
else anyone can look into the initialization file and get your
password. By default, YAP does NOT save your password. However, it
asks you when you run it for the first time, if not already
present.

       FYI: YAP is written in Borland's DELPHI 3.0.

Source code: Included
Required: Netmanage Internet Controls which comes with
          Delphi 3.0 Professional version - NOT included

Note: You will not be able to run the code from Delphi 3.0
      IDE as only one instance of YAP is allowed to run. As
      Deplhi 3.0 IDE loads one instance already, you will not 
      be able to run it from inside IDE. However, feel free
      to uncomment out the code which forces the instance
      check!


BTW, initially I called the project POP3 but later after
days and days of hard thinking, I decided to call it
YAP!

I personally do not expect anything out of this, however, would
like to hear comments from you. My email is sinha@purdue.edu
                       (please do NOT SPAM)
