This archive contains all Mail V packages and documentation.
Installation
If you are upgrading to Mail V from SimpleMail, you should read these instructions first.
All the packages referred to here are contained in the Mail V zip archive.
At the very least you need to install the Mail V transport and stationery
to view text messages in the In Box:
MailV.pkg
PaperStationery.pkg (for Newton OS 2.1)
TextStationery.pkg (for Newton OS 2.0)
The MailVDebug.pkg is a version of Mail V containing debug logging options.
You may find the logs it generates useful if encountering difficulties sending or receiving mail.
If you think you might need to refer to on-line help, install:
Help.pkg
The Mail V Assistant provides optional mail support:
Assistant.pkg
It is strongly recommended you run this at least once - just opening it will remove
obsolete preferences and update your SimpleMail account setups for Mail V.
Once your new settings have been verified you can delete this package.
If you want to be able to hear audio attachments, install:
AudioStationery.pkg
If you want to be able to view image attachments, install:
ImageStationery.pkg
If you want a monospaced font good for viewing mail messages, install:
Monaco.pkg
If you want to be able to add a photo to Names entries, install:
PhotoCard.pkg
If you want to be able to send JPEG images from the Tibet application, install:
TibetFormat.pkg
POP Mail Access
The Mail V package accesses e-mail using the IMAP4 protocol. If your e-mail service
provider speaks only the POP3 protocol, you need to install:
POPMail.pkg
which adds the POP3 mail protocol to Mail V.
Once installed, you may use both IMAP and POP mail accounts. To identify a POP mail account in your owner card’s E-Mail Access setup slip, you need to enter the word “POP!” as the mail path, as shown below.
Note POP Mail will only work with Mail V version 5.2 or later.
Text Encoding
Characters outside the range of US ASCII (accented characters, or exotic punctuation for example) need to be encoded to be sent across the internet. Mail V has support for Western (Latin 1) text encoding built in. If you need to send or receive text encoded for non-US or Western European languages, (S-JIS for Japanese, for example) you should install a Mail V Text Encoding bundle from the list below.
Central European (ISO 8859-2, Windows) Encoding
Cyrillic (ISO 8859-5, KOI8-R, Windows, Mac) Encoding
Greek (ISO 8859-7) Encoding
Japanese (ISO 2022-JP, Shift JIS, EUC-JP) Encoding
Chinese (Big5) Encoding
Korean (EUC-KR) Encoding
After installing a text encoding package, a new encoding method becomes available in the Mail V Prefs Text popup; for example, Japanese (ISO 2022-JP). Mail is sent with the selected encoding. The package may add additional encoding methods for received messages.
NOTE Mail V does not use Newton Text Encoding (NTE) modules.
The keyboards and fonts you may also require for your language are not provided as part of Mail V.
