The PsiMAPI Program
The PsiMAPI program has quite a simple function: it will read in text files
(or files from the Psion 3 series Word Processor), find email headers, and
use the Simple MAPI system to send the messages it finds via your usual email
program.
This means that you can create email on a handheld computer, or in other
applications, and then use PsiMAPI to pass the email you have created into your
email system - where your own email program will deal with archiving, indexing,
and all the other things which make it worthwhile having all your email going
through one place.
Restriction: PsiMAPI will only accept one address in each of the To: Cc: and
Bcc: fields of an email, and needs to find the To: header as the first text
line of a file.
Manual Mode
In manual mode, you use the 'Start' button to start processing the files in
the directory set up in the Configuration dialog. The
files will be presented to you one at a time, and you can amend the text if
you wish. Pressing the 'Send' button will send that email: pressing 'Next'
moves to the next file.
Automatic Mode
In Automatic mode, the program will process and send all the suitable files it
finds in the directory. It will pause before starting to allow you to hit the
'Configure' button if you want to change anything (if it didn't do this you
would never be able to get back into manual mode!).
It then sends the files in batches of the size set in the
Configuration dialogue.
Configuration
The Configuration Dialogue provides you with the chance to set the following:
- The mode in which PsiMAPI starts - this can be Manual Mode
or Automatic Mode.
- The size of batches of emails sent in Automatic Mode.
Some email software will only accept a certain number of MAPI messages at once
as a virus security measure.
- The pause (in seconds) before PsiMAPI starts working when in Automatic
Mode: this is the time you have to press the 'Configure' button if you want to
change mode or directory.
- The directory which PsiMAPI will scan for message. This is set by
default to 'C:\TEMP'
.
