E-Mail Options

 

This dialog is available by selecting the File/Options.../E-Mail menu command.

 

MAPI is the protocol used by Handy to send e-mail.  This feature requires a MAPI compliant e-mail client, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape, etc.

 

Netscape and America Online have different implementations of MAPI, so if you are using either of these, check the My E-Mail Client is Netscape or AOL option.  If your MAPI e-mail client requires a profile to log on, enter the username and password here.  Otherwise, leave these fields empty.  Usually these fields are left blank.

 

Special Note if Using AOL:  In order to set up AOL as your default email client you must go into the AOL software and enable it there.  You must be using AOL 7.0 or later.  Here are the instructions for making AOL your default email client:
  AOL 7.0 or 8.0
  1. Go to the keyword "Preferences".
  2. Click on the "Association" link to make AOL your default email client.
  AOL 9.0
  1. Click the "Settings" button on the toolbar.
  2. Click the "A-Z" tab.
  3. Click the "AOL as Default" link.
  4. Click OK

 

If you are not using a MAPI e-mail client (such as a web based e-mail account), use the: Only Copy E-Mail Addresses to Clipboard When Sending E-Mail option.  When this option is on, whenever you choose any e-mail sending command, the e-mail address(es) are copied to the clipboard, so you can paste them into the "To:" field in your web based e-mail.  The other 2 options here control how the addresses are formatted on the clipboard, and whether or not a popup message box is displayed showing you what just got copied onto the clipboard.  The Include Display Name in Address option will cause the e-mail addresses to be formatted as:

"John Doe (Home)" <johndoe@domain.com>

When this option is off, the e-mail address will just be the address: johndoe@domain.com.  Multiple e-mail addresses are separated by a comma.
